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

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

MRS. MARIAN STEFANO Cedar Crest College Dining Room Supervisor, Arsirlanz Librarian Direclrerr of Social Activities Do you ever get that low feeling? The kind that makes you feel as if you were Charles Atlas. My personal advice is for you to see Mrs. Stefano immediately. There's no one in the School for whom she dOCSI'1't have a particular place in her heart. Always smiling and always with a good word for every one. She has placed us all in her debt. MRS. LAURA B. HOUSER, R.N. Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, Nova Scotia Home Mother, Refident Nurre Did you ever return to your room after classes and find a blue card ? Mrs. Houser's duties as Housemother take her into part of the life of each one of us. Besides reminding us of our evil ways, she can be seen supervising the dining hall on various days throughout the week. Mrs. Houser, who is a registered nurse, lives up to Ben Franklin's saying, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as can be seen by the way she administers to the ailing. MISS OLGA RUTH HRISKO, R.N. Allentown General Hospital Kericlenl Nurse The common saying, or name, Angel of Mercy could not be more ap- propriately applied to a nurse. At times, however, some of us may get the notion of changing that to Angel of the Devil . Although Miss Hrisko enjoys good humor, there is no humor in the precision-like ways in which she goes about her duties. MRS. THELMA BAKER Public Relalionr Remember that catalogue you received when you first wrote to the School? You may not realize it, but countless thousands have been posted by this busy little secretary. Taking care of correspondence seems to be one of the heaviest tasks performed hy Mrs. Baker. Any information re- quested is properly returned with a cheerie smile. JANE 1. HALL Centenary junior College Secretary to Director of Courier Miss Hall came to Perkiomen near the start of the Fall term. Although she was strange to her surroundings, she struck right in at the core of her duties. Needless to say, she has proved to be very proficient. No Worries for the students about their transcriptsg promptness is a virtue-personified.
