The Faculty f 1 I-IE RIVERSIDE Faculty has this year enjoyed one of its most successful years. In the Hrst place, there was a larger percentage of M 'tl returns from last year's faculty than usual, and, in the second place, :QU S . 'A ' the new members of the faculty seem to have been extraordinarily successful in adapting themselves to the Riverside scheme of things. Colonel Beaver, Colonel Horton with his inevitable Algebra classes, Major Mooney and his intelligence tests, and Captain Beaver of the book store, of course, returned and have belabored us and struggled with us as usual. In English, Captain Mooney with his cohorts has attempted to further our knowledge in all matters pertaining to the English language, while in History, Colonel Payne has with his follows of the Department attempted to improve our memories on matters historical. Captains Pitcher, Spann, Franklin, and Dowis are among the old members of the faculty who have joined forces in these efforts. In Modern Language work, Captain Franklin has worked with a new- comer, Captain Lasting to further our knowledge of Spanish, while Captain Mooney has continued to regard himself as the French Department. Major Mooney, not to be out-done, has taken over all of our work in Cuerman. I Major Thrasher, the Assistant Commandant, has labored greatly over the two toilsome subjects -Latin and Extra Duty, while Major Starlings, Assistant Principal, has divided his time between office work and Mathematics. Captain DeWitt has again held down the chair and the Department of Physics, while Captains Lasting and Dowis have handled the remaining classes in Science. Captain Russell and Captain Barr have devoted themselves strenuously to the advancement of the cause of Mathematics, and Captain White. another new-comer, has espoused CoL. O. R. HORTON English as his cause. Captain Burger has found

his time so taken up with the handling of hours that he has had but slight time for the teaching of his pet subject, Algebra. Captain Green has of course con- tinued his work of making business executives of us. In the Junior School, Major McGruer has taken charge and has infused new life in it. He has been ably assisted in his work by Mrs. Sublett, Miss Helen Sublett. and Mrs. E. M. Mooney. The little fellows' report a most interesting and instructive time of it. In Athletics, the academic instructors have, under Captain Dowis, enjoyed a most successful continuation of their teaching methods as applied to somewhat more active Work. Captain Dowis has, with Captain Pitcher and DeWitt, developed a most successful football team, and has excellent prospects for baseball. Tennis, golf, and track prospects are good, with Captain Mooney handling the Hrst, and Major Mooney the second named sport. The gymnasium work has been markedly good with Mr. E. M. Mooney in charge. Mr. Mooney has turned out a well polished basketball club and has done much to advance the interest of the corps in gymnastics and in swimming. In all, the instructors of the school have led a busy but well rewarded life. The academic prog- ress of the school has been marked-and this im- provement is directly traceable in part to the two days' early Christmas leave Won by the corps' high average for the five weeks preceding the Christmas holidays-the amount of information gained by the corps has been great, and progress in all sides of school activity has been good. The BAYONET congratulates the faculty on its MAJOR W- D- MOONEY splendid achievements of the year 1928.
