Also an llnglish teacher, lNliss Schwartz enjoys the arts in general and has a collection of ligyptian works. ln the spring she likes to go hiking. Ancient history is Bliss johnston's sub- ject. She is at the upper right leafing through a magazine. Miss Iohnston is one of our teachers who likes nature in general :who likes the nature you meet along the paths and in the hills. ln spite of the fact that the teachers are around the building most of the winter, they take advantage of the spring and summer days to make up for lost tim e. Miss Marie Trowbridge and Miss Ruth Hazlebeck, at the lower left, are descending the stairs at lunch time. They both teach math- ematics.

'lihough Miss Hazle- beck knits for The Red Cross, Bliss Trowbridge admits that needlework is one of her weaknesses. She has a great interest in birds and therefore likes to hike. At lower center, we find Miss Margaret Smith, linglish teacher and TROIAN sponsor. Flowers are the part of nature she enjoys and it's an un- usual sight to see her desk withoufsome.

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.

Mr. Hopk1'n1 M1'. Meadozvr the Boy Scouts emblem at Scout Headquarters. Dean of boys at school and officiating at football and basketball games, Mr. Hopkins knows in what things boys are interested. Mr. Meadows, fourteen M zkf W1'tt4'nbu11g couting can be indirectly called Civilian Defense because it trains us to become good citi- zens, and teaches us how to de- fend our rights. Although they don't have scout troops of their own, several of our teachers help with other scout troops. Miss Alberta Wittenbtlrg is shown at Lipper left with her troop of girl scouts. She instructs a typing class in our school and makes an excellent teacher because of her interest in hiking, camping, bik- ing and activities that would in- terest girls of this age. Mr. R. E. Hopkins and Mr. Carl Meadows are both interest- ed in scouting and take hikes with the boys several times a year. They are shown at lower left admiring an enlargement of who is now a Marine, had an insect and leaf collection in connection with his biology classes and was interested in anything having to do with nature.
