r FRIENDS The Botany Club has a practical policy which is that in studying nature the best plan is to go where nature is. In this picture Mr. Clikeman, club adviser, is holding a discussion on leaves during a field trip to Rock Cut. On these trips stu- dents make their leaf collection right out in the field rather than bringing the leaves to school to identify. Included in the picture are Mr. Clikeman. Randall Millard, Edla Pearson, Ed- ward Garst, Harriet johns, Alice Pearson, Helen Nolting, Beatrice Vlilliams, Maida Millhaven, Alice Swanson, and George Fredan. So many boys had expressed the desire to know how to dance that Miss Currier and Miss Knill decided to start a boys social dancing class. After obtaining permission from the office classes were held in the Girl's Gymnasium on afternoons after school. ln order that the boys, who were extremely bashful, might be saved all the embarrassment possible, the classes were strictly private. Included in this picture in which rhythm is being taught are Miss Currier, Robert Adams, Richard Sen- nett, Richard Miller, Lowell Branning, Francis Beck, Robert lirickson, Dorian Parker, Kennerson Turney, Alfred DeMolli, Amos Krescmaff, Phillip Rathenberg. and Miss Knill, Page 29 'M +22 , .1 Sewing classes are very popular with high school girls, not only because knowing how to sew is a great advantage in later years, but also because changing from the more conven- tional type of school work is restful. All the while though the girls are making clothes for themselves, an art which is important to any girl. The sewing teachers find that a great deal of individual help is neededg here Miss l-iolmin is showing Sue Gleichman and Betty Bengston how to lay pleats, as Barbara Wil- cox and Betty Phillips industriously work at dressmaking. Teachers also believe in Santa Claus. At least that is the way it appeared at a Christ- mas Party sponsored by the social science de- partment at Miss Greenlee's home when Santa, in the person of Mr. Nufer, distributed the gifts. The distribution of gifts took place after an excellent dinner. A brightly lighted Christmas tree lent atmosphere for the oc- casion. Social science teachers shown receiv- ing their gifts from jovial Santa Nufer are Mr. Froelich, Miss Davey, Miss Knill, and Mr. Spurgeon.
