Beattie, not only teaches recipes and patterns, but knows how to get guaranteed results. A cosmopolitan group the next, what with Miss Massarelli's Habla Usted espanol? ' Mrs. Bogardus' Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Mrs. Dau's Latin Cof which we'll remember Veni, vidi, vici j-and Miss Heggie's ParlezA vous francais? And then they also speak Eng- lish, which was a help to us. Watch out, Mr. Bergethe map will change ere you turn the globe. These be the followers of Herodotus, Mr. Berg, Miss Thomas, Miss Hokmeister, and Mr. Wherry. The gentlemen devote their time to social studies, but Miss Thomas is on an English program, and Miss Hofmeister is well versed in tlie last of the three R's. A popular program, The Commercial World, introduces to you, Miss Atkinson, Miss Clegg, and Miss Magee who figuratively tour the world in geography classes: Miss Anderson and Miss Litman who see to it tliat you hit the right key on the typewriter. Of course, being versatile, they lzave programs in other fields. Llberal Arts'-'certainly we have a program. Miss Willson forsaking her brush and easel for a moment, listens to Mrs. Jeffrey's rendition of Beethoven. No! Mr. Ingold isn't going to sing. though he probably can. You should know he has that band whose music makes you want to grab a flag and march. Wliat's missing from tlf picture? Mrs. Jeffreys chorus and orchestra, the band and the Pennart Club. Now I can't recall the problem, but Miss M. Reed and Mr. Judge will easily explain wlty angles A, B, and C are equal. You have been listening to station F-A-C-U- L-T-Y. We are now signing off until September 3. 1940. C riup I Mr. J. Berg, Miss E. Group ll: Miss E. Atkinson, Miss Group Ill: Miss J. Vlilson, Mrs. M. Group IV: liiss M Reed Mr Thomas Miss A.
