Teachers' lfluli Every second Tuesday in October, lanuary, and April, the wonderful smell of coffee perme- ated the halls and classrooms, only to remind the teachers that they had a club meeting after school. The students, however, sensed only their growling stomachs, which reminded them of their hunger! The Teachers' Club was formed locally for the purpose of professional and social advance- ment of teachers. The officers elected for the year were W. I. Angle, president, Frank Lerew, vice-president, Edna Potter, secretary, and lan- ice Blymire, treasurer. On September 14, l95U, a farewell party was held in honor of Mr. Charles B. Derick who retired from the position as principal of junior- senior high school, after serving thirty-three years. An engraved watch, and an artistically designed certificate, containing the signatures of all the teachers, were presented to Mr. Derick. Two other members, Miss Ethel Clever and Mr. Frank Black, retired from the teaching pro- fession. Miss Clever taught English in the high school since l928. Each spring, we always looked forward to attending the performances of Miss Clever's lunior Dramatic Club. These well directed one-act plays, and 1950's three- act play, were outstanding events of the year. Those whom she taught deeply appreciated all Miss Clever accomplished, and truly regretted her retirement from teaching. Twelve Mr. Frank Black came from the Mt. Holly Springs School in l928 to teach Social Studies in Shippensburg lunior High School. For many years, Mr. Black had numerous requests for photographs. Many will remember the hours spent in the photography room developing pic- tures. He was always willing and eager to help when any difficulties arose. lt was with much regret when the news of Mr. Blacks retirement came. Every organization has its problems, and to cope with those of the Teachers' Club, commit- tees were appointed at the beginning of the year. ln October, 1950, the Shippensburg Public School was represented at the 23rd annual con- vention of the southern district of the P. S. E. A. The theme of the convention, held at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was Improving Public Rela- tions. IN MEMORIAM Richard Landis-A member of the Athletic Department. He assumed his duties Feb- ruary 5, l948, and taught until his death February 9, l95l.
