Cnglish Should English be made the universal language? Naturally we turned to our English Department for an answer. Passing the cafeteria, we found Miss Evans and Mr. Kidd frantically trying to quiet their study hall, so we didn't interrupt. Hurrying past Mrs. Wiessler’s room we hear, “. . . Gather your rosebuds while ye may,” and we wouldn't dare break up the romantic atmosphere. Mr. Cardoso was only too happy to talk with us, but one topic led to another and we completely forgot the question. Mr. lohnson was playing recordings of Edgar Allan Poe's work in his special English class, so we excluded him. Seeking out Miss Murray was not too difficult. We found her tearing her hair; she's in charge of Par-Key. Heading downstairs, we heard various thuds, claps, etc., and behold, there was Miss Peters supervising the cheerleading squad. Mrs. VVassum was talking to Mrs. Brader about effective disciplinary measures when we passed them in the hall, and Mrs. Sterner was about to join them. At last, we went to Miss Haller’s room, but she was also concerned with disciplinary measures. Only she was practicing them! It looks as if our question will lie unanswered. We don't know if English should become a universal language, but most of us would be at a loss without it. Page 13

Business Let’s take a look at the business department. Mr. Seltzer not only struggles with the business students, but he also teaches some of their parents. Mrs. Metzgar and Miss Kilpatrick keep the girls busy with shorthand (“Chicken scratching ). Mrs. Wcrtman, counselor for the senior Tri-Hi-Y girls, teaches typing as does Mrs. Klingaman. Hut, let’s not forget Mr. Rabcnold! He is the business math teacher and in charge of the Business Leaders Club. Gartl i c Science Remember tbe days when we, as seventh and eighth graders were digging up knowledge about coal mines and oil? Earth science is the course referred to, and today we have four teachers on the staff. Mr. Grammes is usually found somewhere near a map, while Mr. Liddicoat paces the floor, often humming to himself. Mr. Miller is posted in the cafeteria during the lunch hours, and Mr. )ones takes pleasure in being behind a checker hoard'. Page 12

Mathematics Whether it's a basic problem in arithmetic or an advanced question in calculus, you are sure to receive an answer from a member of the mathematics department. Many of us flock around Mr. Kistlcr when we’re at a mathematical loss — for obvious reasons. If it's a matter of plane geometry, Mrs. Werley is usually consulted, because she has a natural ability to reach a conclusion (and she keeps “the columns in line too!) You say that you have a problem in nurses’ math? Mrs. Fish is the expert in this field. Mr. Moyer can help you if you are bothered by income tax. The junior high students naturally have problems, too, and you can often find them seeking aid from Mr. Baer, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Sechler, or Mr. Eckert. Page II
