LOUISE SHELDON. Our home economics instructor and hot lunch supervisor. May we pause to pay tribute to one who has served many a year as a sponsor of our Junior classes, to one who has helped us plan many happy banquets and parties. It is to Miss Sheldon we turn when we need an aspirin or first aid in some form. Many a one of us has been taken home in her Plymouth when we have been too ill to stay in school. The boys say that she has never been too busy to sew a button on our shirt or mend a rip in our basketball pants. She has acted as chaperon for our gym classes and our basketball teams. JOHN LANHAM. General Science and Geography. Our popular high school prrncrpal and football-track coach is our class sponsor. We know that he says what he means and means what he says. His efforts have given us a very fine high schooL Besides he has given us two of the best football teams in 1950 and 1951, that Sidney has had for years. 'JohnW as he is known by all coaches, the girls' basketball teams. His girls' teams always make commendable records. His work with the boys and girls track teams has brought many trophies to the school and many medals and ribbons to the team members. ' 5:2 I X ' fix .. at 1 N uEh,.,ss?'
