PAUL E. HORN, B.S. West Chester State Teachers College Dean Mf1tl1emati:.r, Barkelball Coach One of the most diflicult tasks in any school is that of a disciplinarian. Meting out justice impartially, Dean Horn very capably carried out the duties of his office. Along with his duties as mathematics instructor, Mr. Horn coached our basketball team through a very successful season. At present he is studying for his Master's at Lehigh University. JOSEPH W. SNYDER, A.B., A.M. Bucknell University University of Pennsylvania Englifb Mr. Snyder is a master who would like to classify English as an exact science. Believing in what he teaches, he is very meticulous. There are no two ways about English, only one-the right one: and he has been quite successful in imparting that doctrine into his students. MEREDITH RUSSELL, A.B., A.M. Yale University Montclair, New Jersey State Teachers College Englirln Mr. Russell is a comparative newcomer to Perkiomen. As Head of our English Department, he has the duty of seeing that we depart from these hallowed halls with a vocabulary plus a grammatical sense behtting a graduate of Perkiomen. English, which for most of us is a dry subject, has been brightened considerably since his arrival. As the years pass on, we students shall endeavor to prove that his efforts were not in vain. GEORGE HEDDY, B.S. Colgate University Mathemazinr Caarb of Foolball Mr. Heddy came to Perkiomen at the start of the Summer Session. The word speed seems written all over him. In the classroom he handles hgures like a magician-occasionally handling them so dextrously that we poor students are mystilied. However, when the performance is over, we leave the classroom with the secrets of the profession instilled in our minds. Page Fifteen

CHARLES S. BAKER, B.S. Lock Haven State Teachers College Ellglirb Mr. Baker, we sometimes think, could have done exceptionally well writ- ing for Bob Hope. His easy manner and ready smile lets one believe that life is that proverbial Bowl of Cherries . XWe need a good end , can be accredited to George as he is sometimes referred to by the Faculty. MRS. C. Z. HUNTZINGER, B.S., M.Ed. Kutztown State Teachers College Pennsylvania State College Remedial Reading W D0 you have a hard time with the classics? Do you find it difficult to interpret passages from various selections? Drop into the Remedial Read- ing Room to see Mrs. Huntzinger. She is more than willing to help any lost soul out from the depths of ignorance. XVILLIAM V. YOUNG, BS., M.Ed. XWest Chester State Teachers College Duke University Science While you sit and dream, as most of us are prone to do, questions arise as to why this and why that. Lf you are incapable of comprehending the physical things about you, see Mr, Young. As our physicist, Mr. Young will answer all your questions from a wealth of knowledge he has in store. Be your question practical or otherwise, you will get an answer worthy of your question. RICHARD WEIKEL, B.S. University of Pennsylvania Social Studier Ever since man was, so was history. Making students realize the import- ance of the past and present in an arduous task. To rid such a subject of monotony is still harder. But through the hardiwork and efficient plan- ning of Mr. Weikel, much has been done to instill the necessity of history and to relieve this subject of its so-called boring atmosphere. Page Fourteen

JOHN G. SCHUMAKER, A.B., M.S. Kutztown State Teachers College Muhlenberg College Lehigh University Science, Malbemalicr Many a student has tried to match wits with Mr. Schumaker. but the latter's dry humor and unique sarcasm is too much for any pupil in Perk- iomen to cope with. If this teacher of Chemistry and Algebra can endure the odors of gases like Fluorine, Chlorine, and Hydrogen Sulfide, class after class, that is proof in itself that he is capable of mastering almost any variety of situations. ALFRED C. AARONS, B.A., M.A. University of Richmond Columbia University University of Grenoble F orei gn Languager Would you care to learn to speak Spanish? Under the tutelage of Mr. Aarons, I am sure, any one could learn. He is one of the most con- scientious and exacting of the masters. When he accepts any responsi- bility he sees to it that it is accomplished. Nothing escapes his so-called eagle eye. DOROTHY STAUDT BAKER, B.S. New York University Direczar of Glee Club Mrs. Baker is in charge of our illustrious Glee Club. She is a resident of Pennsburg. Twice a week she gives up her evening to hold practice in the Chapel. The turnout for the Glee Club has been quite large, enabling Mrs. Baker to select a well-balanced group. Besides the Glee Club, she has organized the Octet, which has sung at numerous gatherings throughout the Perkiomen Valley. We want to thank Mrs. Baker for the time and patience she has given to the Glee Club. Page Sixteen
