PHUI. E. HORN. B. S. West Chester State Teachers College Dean. Mathematics. Coach of Basketball One of the most difficult tasks in any school is that of a disciplina- rian. Through this past year, Dean Horn very capably carried out the duties of his office. Hlong with his duties as a mathematics in- structor, Mr. Hom was the coach of our basketball team. Ht present Mr. Horn is studying for his Master's Degree at Lehigh University. DONHLD PIRNIE, H. B. Harvard English. Ioumalism. Music, Intramural Sports Mr. Pirnie is an ardent admirer of fine music. He will take time to converse with anyone on the topics of English and Macbeth. There is nothing Mr. Pimie enjoys more than a fine composition, and those that are written are really fine. He is also connected with intramural sports. MEREDITH RUSSELL. H. B., H. M. Yale University Montclair, New Iersey, State Teachers College English Hs the Head of Our English Department, Mr. Russell has the duty of seeing that we depart from these hallowed halls with a vocabu- lary plus a grammatical sense befitting a graduate of Perkiomen. English, which is a dry subject to most of us, has been brightened considerably since his arrival. Hs the years pass on, We students shall endeavour to prove that his efforts were not in vain. GEORGE HEDDY. B. S. I Colgate University Mathematics. Coach of Football. Hssistcxnt Coach of Track Mr. Heddy was recently involved in a Holy Matrimonial Equation. The word speed seems written all over him. ln the classroom he handles figures like a magician-occasionally handling them so dextrously that we poor students are mystified. However, when the display is over, we stagger from the classroom with the deep sec.rets of the profession seeping into our minds. 1 t Nineteen

Resistant Coach of Football and Baseball Mr. Baker, we sometimes think, could have done exceptionally well writing for Bob Hope. His easy manner and ready smile lets one believe that life is that proverbial Bed of Roses. We need a good end, can be accredited tot Charlie, as he is sometimes re- ferred to here at school. MRS. C. Z. HUNTZINGER. B. S.. M. Ed. Kutztown State Teachers College Pennsylvania State College Remedial Reading Do you have a hard time with classics? Do you find it difficult to interpret passages from various selections? Is English a deep mys- tery to you? Drop into the Remedial Reading Room to see Mrs. Huntzinger.

Hssistant Coach of Football Ever since man was, so was history. Making students realize the importance of the past and present is an arduous task. To rid such a subject of monotony is still harder, But through the hard work and efficient planning of the man who hails from Pottstown, much has been done to instill the necessity of history and to relieve this subject of its so-called boring atmosphere.

Mathematics 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 stu- dent in Perkiomen to cope With. lt this teacher ot Chemistry and Pllgebra can endure the odors of gases like Fluorine, Chlorine, and Hydrogen Sultide, class after class, that is proof in itself that he is capable of mastering almost any type of situation.
