GENIUS PLAYING NWOULDNQT IT BE FUN to take a gander at our faculty when theyire not behind a desk or with a piece of chalk in hand? ,lust for fun let's take a Saturday off and see what we will find. Llp early Saturday our first discovery would be Mrs. Claire Marley and Mr. Paul Cremaschi swimming at Math- eson Hammock. A wet note of har- mony prevails as the sun beats upon these two teachers of the fine arts. Refreshed somewhat, we would soon take leave of the swimmers and on the way to peer at Miss Mary Cecile Ions, we see Mrs. Virginia Gleason and Nir. Abbott Messler, fishing poles and all. Mr. Messier claims hehas a scien- tific method of catching fish. YX7 e donit know how true this is but Mrs. Gleason has a picnic basket bulging. Guess she has his method classified! After con- siderable debate over where fish are biting we continue on our way to Miss Ions., To our surprise Miss Margaret Clark, and Mrs. Maudie Cook have joined Miss lons in a morning digging in the good earth. Index files, type- writers, and Shakespeare are unheard of among these tillers of the soil as they fidget over their marigolds, asters, and weeds. NW ith an explicit education on the do's and don't's of gardening, we decide to hunt something to eat. Our intuition leads us to Mrs. Belle Crutchfield's, where aromas of the most tempting variety seep suggestive- ly out the windows. Subtle hints brought forth a lunch for kings to feast on. Having stuffed, or as they

CHIEF ENGINEERS IE You PEER into the busy office with a shingle plainly printed Dean of Girls, you'll see one of the old timers at Ponce-Mrs. Susan Arch- er. Twenty years she has watched Ponce grow and the students mul- tiply. Back of her quiet nature there is a real friend to teachers and students alike.

Day, our dean of boys since 1937. Splicer, mender, adviser, teacher extraordinary are only a few words that explain this hard worker. 1 Between teaching mechanical drawing and acting as dean of boys, Mr. Day is busy helping his Hi-Y boys with their projects. Making the attic into a theater for visual educa- tion is one project of this school year that put a feather in his hat.

Q' x- ei V .ad J 1 X. 3 S i 1-2 say in the finer circles eaten too far beyond our capacity, we bid good bye to our queen of the culinary art with the intention of seeing what Mrs. Maria l-lornor was up to. Upon our arrival Mrs. l-lorner is extremely absorbed in sewing with Mrs. Helen Evans as a sewing compan- ion. This leaves us in stitches so we literally fly to the airport to see Mr. Fred-Wilson. We are just a trifle late as he, Ivlr. Day, and Miss Keuffel have just taken off. Slightly weary we decide to make one more stop before going home. Mrs. Pearl Davis is the subject chosen. A most peaceful scene is found at Mrs. Davisi. She is working crossword puzzles while Mrs. Edith Mason plays the piano, and over in the corner Miss Katherine McGibben is reading a mystery story. This last paragraph is just reasoning. You see after observing our faculty in their off minutes, we began to think. ln most circles they would call their go- ings-on hobbies, but we will just call it GENIUS PLAYING. P I-lackley.
