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

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

WAYNE H. ROTHENBERGER, B.S., M.S.A. Cornell University Financial Secretary One of the oldest and most respected men of Perkiomen is our Financial Secretary, Wayne Rothenberger. The arduous task of keeping account of all income and expenditure is left solely to him. On Mr. Rothenberger is also placed the responsibility of keeping my money and yours handy for the week-ends. To him, slight of stature, but having the strength of Atlas, we offer our sincere congratulations for all the amenities shown to us. INIARGUERITE KRAUSS Allentown Business College A.Y.fi.fldlZl Fimznriul Secretary Miss Krauss, along with her duties as Assistant Financial Secretary, has the tedious job of teaching some of us business men the art of punching keys properly. She has been with the School for quite a number of years. Naturally, after all these years of association with groups of fellows such as we, she treats impartially all our whims. Always, her smiling counte- nance, eternally pleasant, meets every situation calmly and effectively. MRS. MARGUERITE BLATT HORN, B.S., M.A. New York University, Rutgers University School Pxyflaologift Mrs. Horn is one of the staff, who although constantly busy, is very seldom seen or heard-orally that is. She has, during the course of years, attended no less than six colleges or universities. As a part of her work as School Psychologist, she has the important duty of testing. College Boards, Cooperative Tests, and Entrance Examinations to Perkiomen-all are under her exacting administration. MRS. FLORENCE PFLIEGER Allentown Business College Prirfafe Secretary to Mr. Rogerr Did you ever notice that quiet, business-like young lady in the oflice next to the Headmastefs? Her desk is conveniently placed so as to afford her easy access to Mr. Rogers' office. Watching her fingers as she ripples over the keys of her typewriter seems to bring on a hypnotic effect. Were we to have a private secretary, for our own, we would have one emulating Mrs. Pflieger. Page Seventeen
