VFHE PENSEMAN LEs1.1E VV. CLARK, A.B. Spanish and Mathematics. Bowdoin College-1922. Before coming to Pennington, Mr. Clark taught at Temple University High School and at Friends' Central School in Philadelphia. He comes from an unknown OJ country lnamely Mainel and is undoubtedly that section's greatest booster. During the course of the summer he bought a new Ford and may often be seen dashing madly about in it. Recently he has been seen reading Elmer Gantry, so we cannot predict what the future holds in store for him. EDWARD B. DEERY Grades and Dramatics. West Chester Normal School and Gilgore School. Mr. Deery has been with us for the last two years and is indeed a helpful person around school. He must not be judged by hi-s last name, even though he is a knock-out with women. We wonder what he does when he isn't buying new suits or out on a date. Before coming to us, Mr. Deery taught at Boot Road School and was Supervising Principal of both Atglen High School and East Coventry High School. CLINTON E. CRANMER, B.S. Temple University. Economics, Commercial Course. Besides driving into our heads the law of diminishing returns and the theory of marginal utility, Mr. Cranmer is one of the school's most intrepid sportsmen. On frosty mornings last fall it was a familiar sight to see him set out on a hunting expedition, returning later laden with game. When we observed him in action at the Mid-Year Prom, we knew he was a ladies' man, but now with the aid of his Buick roadster we believe he will prove practically irresistible to the hnxom beauties of Pennington. 9

' 'PHE PENSEMAN GROVER C. Mixus, A.M. Ancient and Modern Languages. Franklin and Marshall Collegeg Alliarice Francaise. fPartsj Mr. Mauis came to Pennington in 1916, the year Washington nearly won a pennant. He has been here longer than any other member of the faculty. He participated in the World War and returned to Pennington at its close with a large supply of brilliant anecdotes which he uses to enliven dull moments in his French and Latin classes. He is one of the most popular of the faculty, and his sane advice has meant a great deal to this class. San Antonio. A. M. MASONHEIMER, JR., A.B., A.A.G.O. Franklin and Marshall Collegeg Guilmant Organ School Music. Mr. Masonheimer has been with us for a number of years. He graduated from Franklin and Marshall in 1915 and from Guilmant Organ School in 1922. He is a member of the American Associated Guild of Organists, and besides his course in school he has a private studio in Trenton. It is indeed a pleasure to have him play for us every morning in chapel. ' IIORACE C. GOTTSHALK, A.B. Ursinus Collegeg University of Virginia. Coach. Besides being Coach at Pennington, Mr. Gottshalk has taught at Carson Long Institute, coached at Bethlehem Preparatory and was principal of Lanning School. He graduated from Ursinus in 1915 and came here in 1924. The Coach can be seen at all athletic battles whisking about the field endeavoring to make the boys play harder. He is an earnest. faithful worker. 8

THE PENSEMAN WILLIAM H. FRENCH, B.S. Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Science. ' Mr. French besides being head of the Science Department at Pennington is promi- nent in the school dramatics, and plays the piano upon various occasions both in Chapel and Y. M. C. A. That he is a capable Chemistry instructor no one will doubt and many boys will recall with gratitude the happy hours spent with him and the pleasurable associations he has afforded and ideals he has represented. ' HOWARD T. HERBER, A.lNl. Ursinusg Columbia University. History. Mr. Herber came to Pennington in the middle of the year but lost no time in becoming one of our best instructors. As an authority on history and government he has few equals, and his knack of converting a dry lesson into an interesting discussion has occasioned a marked revival in the popularity of the history courses. JOHN LATSHAVV, A.B. -University of Pennsylvania 5 Oberlin College. English. Mr. Latshaw, before coming to us, was Principal of Mt. Pleasant Grammar School, Tredyffrin Township, Pa., and instructor in English at West Chester High. Mr. Latshaw is considered a hard marker and exacting master. He is, however, a good teacher. He can often be seen driving along the roads and byways of Pennington in his new car. 10
