THE RUSH SPRINGS whole heart and soul in her work. We are all the more proud of her be- cause she is a product of Kush Springs and the Seniors say, there is no one quite her equal. Miss Lillian Hart is one of those industrious, cheerful instructors— continually working for the best interests of the pupils in her classes. Aside from her proficiency as a mathematic and English teacher, Miss Hart has helped the school in many ways being at all times ready and willing to serve and with her bright optimistic nature makes the atmosphere of school mere cheerful because of her presence. Miss Sheriff, domestic science teacher, is so interested in her work that it is only natural that she arouses great interest and enthusiasm in her pupils. Added to this interest is a thorough preparation which makes her a very efficient instructor. She is of a kind and gentle disposition, never too busy to advise or help in the preparation of some banquet luncheon, or reception. Miss Ruth Hill, our violin instructor, also has charge of the orchestra work. The interest and enthusiasm she arouses in her workers are large- ly responsible for the wonderful success she has had in attracting students into her department. She has been with us but a comparatively short time, yet she has made herself almost invaluable. Mrs. Charles Massey is a reader of unusual ability and we are glad to w. lcome her to Rush Springs High as our expression teacher. Her appear- ances at assembly are always greeted with pleasure as the repeated en- cores will testify. The reading programs given, and plays staged through- out the year, under her direction are other evidences of the efficient work she is doing. We are glad to add to our faculty this year, Miss Hazel Owsley, teach- er of voice. She is a talented musician and her musical numbers in assem- bly arc a treat to the teachers and student body. 19 1919

Never before has the school been organized so perfectly as it is at present. The “Rush Springs” extends to Supt.
