And Gladly Would He Lerne and Gladly Mrs. Brinkley, one of our teachers of English and literature, was graduated from Clarion State Teachers College. She was formerly from New Jersey lout now resides in Clarion, In addi- tion to teaching, she is counselor of the Senior Dramatics Club, has a talent for acting, and is the possessor of a beautiful singing voice. Mr. Caldwell, teacher of Safety Education, Driver's Training, and head coach of wrestling and football is kept busy these days for perhaps, nights! by his small daughter. He is con- stantly trying to satisfy his desire for pizza pie, a favorite dish. Mrs. Cumpbell's ever-present wit and wisdom will never be forgotten by the members of her class. Every senior will always retain a part of her knowledge. Mr. Capasso, a resident of Limestone, teaches history in the South Side Building, and can be seen coming to and from the bus each day. His moustache, a recently acquired possession, adds much dignity to his character. Miss Carlos, a native of this vicinity, enioys her position as seventhvgrade teacher. A very fine bridge player, she is also active in the Civic Club and sponsors the Girls' Craft Club and the Junior Usherettes. Mr. Caruso is a stalwart supporter of our athletic program, producer of our all-school talent shows and teacher of mathe- matics. His hobby is collecting intricate math problems. Mrs. Conrad finds teaching a source of enioyment because it gives her the opportunity to work with the Trivl-li-Y which has long been one of her favorite projects. You quite frequently find her behind the podium explaining alliteration and retained objective compliments while flashing a monstrous pair of ear- rings. Mr. Conrad, our happy-go-lucky world history teacher, has the invaluable gift of making history interesting. He's what you might call set-up in housekeeping permanently, what with Mrs. Conrad, two little Conrads, and his locomotives. Mrs. Corbett is that person who first welcomes us with the cheery words, Open wide, please. A registered hygienist from Rochester University, she is active in the Literary Club. Mrs. Dovenspike sponsors our school paper, the Valley Hil Lites, while teaching the Latin students that the Romans, too, knew how to eat. Among her many talents we have dis- covered that she also writes poetry. Mrs. Filson, sponsor of the yearbook and commercial instructor, can be found huddled somewhere between the pages of her pet production, the Vallis. She is always ready and willing to help you increase your speed in shorthand or typing. Proud mother of two children, she is constantly on the search for new methods of child care and doeit-yourself plans. Russell Strong, Charles Laughlin, Dorothy Slick, Frances Morris E l 3 . 1 N

Her slides of Europe have proved to be both interesting and edu- cational.
