Seated: Privett, Beatty, Jaehne, Layman, Miller. Standing: Myers, Landis, Hinshaw, Coleman. Faculty If you ask us about it, we will all say Rushville high school teachers have ‘It,’ meaning Intelligence. Each is a specialist in his or her field. Mr. E. E. Privett is the farmer of the school and holds forth in the Gra- - ham annex, where he teaches the future farmers of America. A whir and a buzz from Room 25 lets us know that Miss Irene Beatty’s proteges are at work on new Spring creations. “Tap-tap-tap” in perfect rhythm announces the headquarters of Miss Harriot Jaehne, commercial teacher. To Miss Wilma Layman and Mr. Robert Hinshaw falls the lot of keeping the girls and boys of the city schools in perfect physical condition. Mr. Hinshaw is also the Lion mentor while Miss Layman sponsors the G.A.A. and a Select group known as “The Tumbling Tumble Weeds.” “ Doesn’t that odor make you hungry?” Miss Mildred Landis is at it again — teaching her girls how to cook some delicious concoction. Would- n’t it be fine if Mr. Dick Miller’s boys could get together with these girls? He has taught them to make all sorts of furniture and we feel certain could tell them all about house construction and then we'd see if “two can live as cheaply as one.” Miss Henrietta Coleman can do what many of us would like to do, but cannot — paint pictures and do various and sundry other types of art work. Better still, she has the ability to teach others. “ There’s music in the air”? everywhere you see Mr. Donald Myers, for he jumps hither and yon in the interest in glee, band, orchestra, and grade supervisory work.

Seated: Stewart — Kelley. Standing: Sellars, Chamberlain, Arbuckle, Aldridge, Casady, Lockwood. Administration Inasmuch as a well developed curriculum calls for efficient manage- ment, just so there has been built up a strong administrative group which is in charge of the Rushville schools. Heading this group is Superin- tendent L. A. Lockwood, who has acted in this capacity for the past two years. His promotion from high school principal to superintendent made it possible for the entire school system to enjoy his pep and personality which for five years was the exclusive right of the high school. Principal Claire J. Sellars, successor to Mr. Lockwood, simply took up the reins and headed us on the way in which we were started and now has the privilege of recommending us for our diplomas. In our junior high days we made the acquaintance of Principal Earl Chamberlain, who initiated us into the strange ways of high school and got us ready for the ereat day when we moved “ down stairs.” Ever behind the city schools and eager for progress is the school board. With Mr. E. R. Casady as president, Mr. J. T. Arbuckle, secretary, and Mrs. Allie Aldridge, treasurer, they represent the general public in all school business. Especially popular among the teaching staff are Mr. Arbuckle and Mrs. Aldridge, whose signatures must appear on all school checks. Last but by no means least are the two clerks, Miss Eloise Kelley and Miss Mildred Stewart, who, in addition to performing certain designated secretarial duties, find time to lend a helping hand and sympathetic ear to students and faculty. 7 [9 ]

Seated: Matlock, Ball, Parrish, Dean, Madden, Gullion. Standing: Carmack, Morton, Griest, Casady, Taylor. —-90 Faculty “Friends! Romans! Countrymen!” Allow us to present Miss Helen Matlock, champion of the dead language in the Rushville high school. Not only is she an adept at this, but she can “Parlez-vouz francais?” with the best of them. Watch your step and your English when you are in the presence of the Misses Margaret Ball, Mary Parrish, Janet Dean and Florence Madden, for they have pledged themselves to see that the Rushville high school students know how to speak grammatically, and woe be unto the fellow who doesn’t put a comma where it belongs. If you are in doubt that ‘a straight line is the shortest distance be- tween two points,” just call upon Mr. Arie M. “ Pop” Taylor, and he will tell you all about it, for geometry is his specialty. He also knows his algebra, as do Miss Madeline Gullion and Mr. Robert Griest, while Mrs. Margaret Morton of the “r afters” works diligently on good old fash- ioned arithmetic. Miss Gullion and Mr. Griest vary their mathematical programs with a little science, the former being an ardent admirer of “the flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la”’ while Mr. Griest is a shark in physics. “ Geography, geography is such a pleasant study” sing the pupils of Miss Nelle Casady, who also finds time to instruct classes in history and civics. If people go out of the Rushville high school not knowing how the other half of the world lives, it is not the fault of Mr. Paul Carmack, who instructs in history, sociology, and economics and between breathing spells expounds on oratory. We have sized up these “ guiding hands” to the best of our ability and we will leave it to you if you think any school has a better faculty. aly)
