THE PENSEMAN JOHN HENRY PLATT, B.S. Dickinson College-1925. Mathematics. Before coming to Pennington, Mr. Platt was instructor in Mathematics and Science at Lewiston High, Pa. He graduated from Pennington in '21. He hails from South Jersey and is constantly boosting that district. Mr. Platt is friendly with all the students and is much liked. It seems that he just can't stay in school over the week- end. We wonder whoshe isl There is another peculiar trait of Mr. Platt's and that is, that he can't say a complete sentence without using an exclamation. Mus. F. H. GREEN No Year Book at Pennington would be complete without mentioning Mrs. Green, who has given liberally of her time and ability in order to make our various school events successful. As a graceful hostess and clever conversationalist she has few equals, and the Senior Class wishes to thank her here for all the kind services she has rendered to it. MRS. R. C. HrNINES Mrs. Haines occupies a warm corner in the hearts of the students. Her cheering smile and efficient treatment have caused many an ache or despondent feeling to fly away as the early morning mist under the warmth of sunlight. Mrs. Haines takes a lively interest in all school activities and can be counted among those present at all events. V 11

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
