Fifty-seven uide Students' Minds and ims After overhearing remarks of the students, I believe that l'm quite qualified to comment on the John Rogers faculty. As to number there are 57 who, in addition to Mr. Purdy, Mr. MacGown, Mrs. lllack and Mr. Chrisman, sign in each morning. Among these are five new members of the staff: Victor Harry, mathematics department, Howard R. lilackman, industrial arts, John G. plelinek, chemistry, and Mrs. Evelyn Magnuson, commercialg and Miss Georgene Summerson, English and journalism. Mrs. Magnuson replaces Mrs. Ethel Yan Austene who was unable to continue her teaching because of illness. As in all schools, John R. Rogers emphasizes the scholastic achievement, especially the 'KS R's.'l Two of them are taught by members of the English department headed by Miss Hazel Stevens. Other teachers are: Miss Elizabeth Herbert, Mrs. Mary Canup, Mrs. Theadora Frisbie, Mrs. Clarissa Osearson, Mrs. Hazel Crosby, Arthur ll. Grafious, Mrs. Louise Forsyth, Mrs. Hazel Van Doren and Miss Naudia Broekman. Too, all the dramatists can attribute their success to Dale F. Bran- non and Mrs. Forsyth. The other R for arithmetic is drilled by NValter E. Doolittle, Miss Faye XVeymouth, Alfred K. Ostness and Harold H. Thompson. The fundamentals of homemaking from sewing on a button to baking a cake are taught by Miss Ella Moyer, Miss Charste Mikkelson, Miss Ethel Larson, Mrs. Leoti Treadwell and Miss Edna Herrington. In the shops, boys can be found making a table or fixing an automobile with VVayne H. Chapman, Bernie C. llunn, Herbert Russell or Edward G. Kienholz supervising. Educating students in ways of the social sciences is the task of james 'l. Elsensohn, 'loseph M. Stover, Miss Louise Smith, Herman Sleizer, Edmund Becher, L. La- Verne Mabbott and james Forsyth. Three foreign languages, French, Latin and Spanish, are taught by two of the shorter members of the faculty, Mrs. Retty Pence and Miss Marion Lelfevre. The harmonious voices of the vocal groups are di- rected by Forest L. llrigham while XVilliam WV. Thomas is in charge of the instrumentals. Turning out more efficient secretaries and business- men for the future keeps Milton A. Stumpf, Miss Lor- raine Sehwartz, Mrs. Helen Leland and Miss Rene M c- Mahan busy. Vtlilliam Aller and Robert F. Eyinan develop art tal- ents and keep the school well-postered. Guided by Lewis L. Sabo, joseph Heslin and Ray Roestel, students keep the atmosphere anything but sweet smelling. They learn about biology, chemistry and physics too. Ready for any test are the athletes trained by the Carl A. Ellingsen, Fred M, Brown, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Sleizer, Mr. Stover, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Heslin and Mr. Mabbott, Inc. The girls are equally prepared by Miss Eleanor Mele and Miss Mildred Ryan. Seeing that the students keep up with their reading material is the task of Mrs. Oliva Harris and Miss Clara Orr, librarians, and Mrs. Edith llroberg and Mrs. Lena Schmidt, study hall teachers. THE ANNUAL FACULTY PEP CONVOCATION PROVES THAT THERE IS UNLIMITED TALENT AND ENTHUSIASM AT JOHN R. I2
