Schar reveal to us the salient facts that have been established in the dim past. Anna Tisherman, in addition to history, instructs in geography and civics. The prospective secretaries, clerks, business men, and stenographers are given their impetus through the commercial department. Charlotte K. Fleck, E. C. McCartney, Mame E. Straessly, john K. Stratiff, and Mary E. Wyman impart to the commercial students a knowledge of typewriting, shorthand, bookkeeping, and commercial mathematics. The ones who become carpenters, milliners, machinists, electricians, printers, craftsmen, and architects will reflect their trainingby the industrial department. James 'McKeon, mechanical drawing, Edward A. Carlin, electric shop, Elmer W. Gibson, machine shop, Georgia L. Griffiths, household economy, R. J. Hartwick, printing, Jean K. Lacock, arts and crafts, john R. Morrow, wood shop, and Mildred M. Trembly, household economy, constitute the industrial department. Ray R. Ralston and Charles W. Sparks teach Chemistry and Art, respectively. Isabel Young is the Girls' Adviser, and Mary L. Kenwill, who arranges and coordinates the Activities, is responsible for the success of many of the future public servants. One of the necessities of a civilized nation is the production and the proper appreciation of music. W. W. Jones, band and orchestra, and Anne George, vocal instructor, assume the responsibility for a continued existence of civilization. A good citizen has not only a sound mind but a sound body, and physical education is a means to this end. Ethel L. Waddell, Chester A. Smith, Margaret E. Ellis, and William H. Demming produce the gymnasts and athletes of the future. Bessie M. Jones, Librarian, and Faries E. Dodds, Assistant Librarian, comply with the numerous and odd requests of referencefseekers. The last department to which we shall refer, and the one with which we confer in regard to schedules, is that of Vocational Counselor. The work of the academic, commercial, and industrial departments is adapted to its full advantage through the efforts of Edith M. Gunn, Vocational Counselor. Through the efforts of our captain, Mr. Adams, and of these members of the crew, our ship has safely reached harbor. May they continue to guide succeed- ing classes successfully upon their way!

The student body of a high school is comparable to a ship, in that it muSt be guided Hlid trained by the principal and faculty. Principal John H. Adams, as the guiding hand of our school, has placed Perry in an enviable position among the Pittsburgh Public Schools. His continued efforts toward the betterment of the school, and his perpetual consideration of things beneficial to the stuCl611fS, have marked the eight and one half years through which he has ably guided us. Mr. David R. Douglas, as Vice Principal, has efficiently assisted in perform- ing the executive duties of the school. We can all vouch for the fact that Mr. Douglas has worked effectively toward the elimination of tardiness. The secretarial work of the school, and the numerous requests and pleas which the students bring to the oifice, are attended to by the office force, consisting of Bessie L. Law, Chief Clerk, and Nellie J. Keown, Clerk. The Academic department of the school is the cradle of future lawyers, linguists, doctors, engineers, and historians.

Spahr Hull, John F. Landis, Lucy B. McCandless, and Della A. Rosenthal. Up through the grades, these teachers introduce the student to the traffic essay, the Elizabethan theatre, Ivanhoe, the French Revolution, and Halleck's History of English Literature. J. Brad Craig, a late addition to the faculty of Perry, is instructor of Physics. The mathematics department consists of John S. Barefoot, C. E. Bates, Helen J. Ewing, Edith M. Knox, and Mary J. Stratton. Through their assistance we re' ceive a knowledge of Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry. Hubert L. Campbell and Ella F.
