ADMINISTRATION L. . ENGLISH: BERTHA Biavisa. V1v1AN S'l'liWAIi'l', Esrmsa MCCABE, Frou' Horcmciss ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Bertha Beyer, graduate of Universi- ty of Syracuse, University of Buffalo, carefully applies subject-verb agree- ment to the high school's Freshmen. When not applying Freshmen Eng- lish, Mrs. Beyer finds the voice of Bing Crosby quite appealing. Sophomore Sophisticate Vivian Stewart, graduate of Syra- cuse University, makes a major con- tribution to Sophomore sophistication. Their English grammar is highly pol- ished. When Sophomore English is well- styled, Mrs. Stewart consults her pref- erence lists. She is ready to settle for a plate of spaghetti and meat balls with a historical novel on the side. Democratic Pattern Floy Hotchkiss, Chamberlin Insti- tute graduate, makes junior English music to the ears. The juniors make language and literature fit the democratic pattern of America. Miss Hotchkiss enjoys modern magazines and foodfuany kind as long as it's salad. Seniors Saved Esther McCabe, graduate of New York State Teachers' College, rescues 6 each Senior from the abyss of over- confidence. She shows them a few of the yet unanswered questions. Miss McCabe continues her rescue work through the Red Cross and finds refreshment now and then in pump- kin pie and coffee. SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT Esther Benz, Wells College gradu- ate, leads the Freshmen toward their eventual careers of tomorrow. Chef-Salad Now thenufto get back to the topic of International Relationsnf sound familiar? It's Sarah Banta, graduate of William Smith College, launching forth into one of her pet problems. Miss Banta thinks that people are fun and that heated dis- cussions make good food for thought. Chef salad makes good eating, too. In the Mood All Right N0w fit's a wonder Beatrice Nash, Alfred University graduate, can still smile after surviv- ing sixth period study hall. In the same mood, Miss Nash faces her American History classes where she claims There's never a dull mo- ment. Serious-minded Marian Mallan, Wells College graduate, molds opinions of tomor- row's Americans on the problems of democracy. Mrs. Mallan finds house- keeping a pleasing summer activity with a novel, a picnic or an evening walk by way of diversion. SOCIAL STUDIES: SARAH BANTA, EsTH12R BENZ, MARION MALLAN,

Vol 1, Na. i E C A june 1, 1945 THE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION The Superintendent The uninformed student will like- ly ask, Wlio is that tall, blond-haired man I saw on first floor? and you will answer patronizingly, XWhy, my dear friend, that is the head of our school, Richard A. Jensen. He is enthusiastic about golf, hunt- ing fwithout a gunj and at football games he uses his lungs to capacity in routing for his favorite team. The Executive Mr. jensen has the stamp of ap- proval from all types of people, in- cluding students, teachers and mem- bers of the community. He is often found making the rounds of the schools where he confers with prin- cipals and teachers about vitally im- portant matters concerning the wel- fare of the pupils. Roy NeH'Ie'ron Everyone observed Mr. Iensen's ab- sence and was much relieved when Roy Nettleton came to the rescue. He is a tall, lean man full of confidence, courtesy, and cooperation. To sum him up, a friend in need is a friend indeed. CjooRniNA'roR jiiNsl5N The Principal The high school Hedglings saw him tall, thin, gravely stern. The senior sages remember a mixture of knotty tweeds, a dash of humor, a quantity of advice, a friend of the people. To his staff there is ever warm fellow- ship and sympathetic understanding. The community recognizes the edu- cator and the executive. His students dare to call him UT. Dlalicfroiz Mooizls C. but they are cut down to size with a simple word direct and htm. Tom Moore is a family man. He likes his home and his fun with lit- tle T. CQ. Give them some ham, eggs, and coffee on a sunny summer morning and they are soon seen in the vicinity of lfanchers' Point, wolf- ing it down. There are quiet eve- nings toof-lobsters or steak, and a dynamic argument about social prob- lems with an intimate friend. People can't escape him. His in- terest in them is magnetic. That is the driving force that keeps his team of 600 playing the game. Let a player be guilty of a foul and he'II know the meaning of a wrinkled brow and a Hushed cheek. That dash up the wrong stairs, the slice of wit misplaced in Science Class grows strangely unexciting. Talked over with Mr. Moore, life has a new chal- lenge and a real one. Play the game and plan a party- -your man of au- thority becomes the life of the party. He can match that jive and play along with that joke. 5

ADMINISTRATION SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Interest-Food? Elizabeth Vincent, Hunter College graduate, intrigues the avid and the erudite in the science of biology. Mrs. Vincent claims sometimes to have bribed their interests with car- rots and apples, specimens of the ed- ible variety. Of an evening, Mrs. Vincent hnds detective stories refreshing. On week- ends and holidays, Betsy and Frank share her fun in the culinary art. Engrossing Personalities Thomas M 0 r a n, Massachusetts Teachers' College graduate, is the in- imitable scientist. His classes are snappy and engrossing. A chat with Mr. Moran reveals a galaxy of inter- ests. He can arouse your enthusiasm for art, music, a fishing trip, or a game of chess, and then leave you to hunger for fresh strawberries smothered in heavy cream. H20 Sidney Mason, graduate of Niagara University, puts the OK on science and research. He makes scientific facts of H2O's, COJs, and HCL's alone or in combinations. Mr. Mason guides inquiring minds with excep- tional skill. SCIENCE: El.IzABi2'ri-i VINfQl?N'Ii, 'I'HoiuAs MORAN, SnmNiiv MAsuN BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Strikers Anna Lockwood, Plattsburg Nor- mal graduate, strikes away at Typ- ing I, balance sheets and protit and loss statements. Then, as chairman of stamps and bond sales, she tangles weekly with high hnance. Miss Lockwood hnds pleasant changes from olhce work in doing bits of BUSINESS: ANNA Imckwoon, Rotsizm' HENRY, H12i.i2N LINEHAN, handwork---and the supreme delight of pumpkin pie. Efficiency Experts Marion XXfhipple, Rider College graduate, handles the experts and de- velops ethciency in Shorthand II and Secretarial Practice. Mrs. XVhipple's life holds dual responsibilities. Away from school, her home and son keep her busy. Let ber speak of things to eat and it sounds like Ummm ice cream and cake .md spaghetti. Shot in the Arm Robert Henry, graduate of New York State Teachers' College, is cred- ited with giving a new zest to Retail Selling and Introduction to Business, The Seniors will never forget his in- jections of spirit and will probably never quite recover from same. Obvious Appeal Helen Linehan, Elmira graduate, is responsible for the mathematical magic and legal lore of the business department. Her young lawyers and mathematicians testify that Miss Line- han sets optimism soaring like a bal- Ioon. It takes but a flash of ber ra- diant smile. The interest in the busi- ness department is going up percepti- bly and the appeal is obvious. 7
