ZW r. A nn't'rJon ilfiff M oo re tllin G. DuPrc illzkr Etum Illlifl .flJz'nklt' M1'J, ZVim'ongt'r IWLU A na't'rron twelve o become a member of our faculty a teacher must have a bachelor's degree or ex- perience equivalent to it. Some are well on their way toward their lNl. A., and almost twenty-five percent of our staff have this de- gree. On the next few pages of our school annual we are attempting to show some of the outside activities of our teachers, though many of them have said that there are a great many things they would like to do if they had the time. ln endeavoring to show sotne of these outside interests and these after-school activi- ties and hobbies of our faculty we find that most of them are inter- ested in nature and mu- sic. Among the musical- ly-inclined, we have Mr. Kenneth Anderson who, besides having music as an outside JCI- ivity, directs the High School Band and Or- chestra. Bliss Blanche livans, lyliss Genevieve Duljre, and NlissOctaviaShinkle areenjoyingsomefriend- ly singing. lNliss livatfs love of music is brought out through the rhythmical writing of short- hand which she teaches to first year students. Nliss Dullre is one of our sophomore linglish teachers, while Miss Shinkle shows the girls the fundamentals of sewing. . Shown as she directs the choir is lNliss liliza- beth lyloore, who combines her outside inter- est and her school work in this field. 'lihe girls', boys', mixed and colored girls' choirs all have bliss hloore as their skill- ed conductor. She is also the producer of the yearly operetta and she sponsored several excellent choral assemblies this year for the benefit of the students. lXlrs. Nellie Niswonger and hliss Nlargaret Anderson didn't tell us what the name of their duet was, but it certain- ly has us curious. ln the mathematical field, lNlrs. Niswonger explains the vari- ous triangles and rectangles in the geo- metry class. Some of the seniors become more interested in English and literature through the efforts of lNliss Anderson.
