O KAW WAK O H953 Faculty Mr. Patterson with the co-operation of the board and faculty has led the student body toward greater satisfaction and Congeniality. It was through his efforts that the student council and library came into being, and it has likewise been through his enthusiasm that the student bands in both schools have grown to such an extent. Mr. Patterson, by his sympathy and interest, has won the sincere respect of the student body. Although he is always busy, he is never too occupied to listen to students who need his assistance. We are glad to have a leader who endeavors to uphold the standards of modern education. Mr. Kimble Bishop, aside from being principal, has several classes in math. He is very eilicient in both of these-his hardest job seeming to be chasing pupils out of the assembly in the evening. Mr. Bishop also takes a great interest in athletics and is always at the games, gener- ating pep. Miss Augenstein, the office assistant of our high school, is one of the most accommodating persons we have ever known. What would we do without her to listen to our pleas, excuses, and what-have-you-to say nothing of who would run after the escaping vandals during the third period? Mr. Battershell has made the agriculture department quite prom- inent and has coached some of the most successful judging teams S.H.S. has ever had. He also coached a very successful agriculture basketball team this year which won CPD percent of its games. Top Row: Benjamin, B. Bishop, K.

I9331-TT. .. ...... OKAW WAKO Mr. Benjamin has often been referred to as our absent-minded pro- fessor. He has just recently received his A.M. from Chicago University. Though Mr. Bishop has classes in social science, he is more frequently thought of as our coach. Mr. Bishop has coached some very successful athletic teams for S.H.S. He has also worked very diligently with the student council this year. Through the efforts of Miss Davidson our music department has been quite successful. The operetta, Jerry of Jericho Roadf, was presented by the glee clubs under her direction and it was quite a success. She has also worked very conscientiously with the glee club and it has made a number of appearances. Mr. Fegley is the instructor of manual arts, physiology, and physiography. Besides these responsibilities he is an advisor of the student council. Mr. Gillespie has given the freshmen a place in Athletics, coaching these teams as a varsity is coached. He is also an advisor of the Athletic Commission. The Home Economics Department has progressed rapidly under Miss Hoyt's direction. The Christmas toys made by the Home Manage- ment Class were certainly liked and appreciated by many little children. Miss Moore is one of the most popular and busiest people of our school. She directed the faculty, junior, and senior plays, and has been a Junior Class advisor. As a result of Miss Mose's efforts. many students have discarded the famous hunt and peck method of typing and turned to the more efficient touch system. Under the direction of Mr. Newell the band has grown considerably. Tt has made great progress this year, and it furnished music at both foot- ball and basketball games. Miss Shoaff has efficiently fulfilled her duties as school nurse and is liked and admired by all who know her. Miss Short's great achievement is her splendid direction of the G.A.A. She is also a conscientious advisor of the Athletic Commission. Has Miss Shuck no end of patience and good humor? It certainly seems that she has not. She never loses patience with her struggling Latin and French students. Miss Welshmer undertook one of the most difficult tasks a faculty member can-that of sponsoring the 1933 Okaw Wako. Miss Young has introduced some new ideas into our history depart- ment and with the co-operation of the student has worked them out quite successfully. N ine
