RALPH JOHNSON MRS. HELEN KOPESKY MISS AGNES SPENCER CHARLES NAY MISS BETTY MOORE CLYDE SALLEE MISS THELMA STOUT WE CAN EVER FORGET . . . Forget our f?culty? XYe never could--nor would we want to. After being their students, we've come to know them quite well. Each individual teacher leaves his mark of learning upon us. XYay back when Mr. Johnson had us in General Science, bet he never dreamed he'd have several star football players out of our bunch, Those few of us who won't remember Mr. Johnson as :i coach. will certainly remember him as our Refresher Math teacher. Mrs. Kopesky had the ill fortune to introduce us to higher math. Even though she worked us hard, her grand sense of humor will stay with us always, From the time we entered the Seventh Grade until the last issue of this year's SPEEDETTE was published-from the time she taught us spelling until she taught us jopirnalism, Miss Spencer always told us, Give credit where credit is due. Mr. Nay met only the bravest Seniors-those who survived Plane Geometry to struggle through Solid Geometry and Trig. Miss Moore, who joined the staff just this year, had only a few of us in classes. but we can never forget such an attractive teacher. Forget Mr. Sallee-the teacher who taught us to drive. the teacher who sacrificed his life for his duty? Never! Every time we wrap ourselves around a tele- phone pole: every time we drive into a train: every time we forget to signal-we'll remember our Sports- manlike Driving teacher and his warnings. VVhenever we hear a whole-hearted laugh, we will recall Miss Stout. The hardest year she ever lived was the year we were Juniors. Not only did she push us through junior Literature, but anyone who can make an actor out of a Junior deserves special recognition.

MISS SUSAN KECKLER MRS. IDONA BOWERS LOUIS TROSKY LAXYRIENCE THOMPSON MISS MELVA SHULL FLOYD TROTH MISS ELIEANOR GREIER . . . . . O R FACULTY The Home lic. girls won't forget Miss Iieckler's teachings even though she left in March to tie the knot of holy matrimony. The rest of us will keep in nnind her Freshman Biology Classes. Mrs. Bowers saw little of us in our high school years. Only the more talented indulged in her advanced art clsases. but we will always keep in reinembrance our Junior High classes with this wonderful little teacher. Mr. Trosky had our boys in Industrial Arts for years and was our junior Class sponsor. Forget Klr. Trosky and the fun we had in our Junior year? You bet your life we won't. lNhile most teachers had their troubles, Mr. Thompson had more than his share. He tried to educate our fingers in the difficult tasks of typing, bookkeeping. and taking shorthand. Miss Shull picked out only our talented singers to soar thc choir to greater musical heights-nor will memory books omit their gay spring musicals. In our Senior year, we were introduced to a new physical education teacher, Miss Greer. VVe'll remember her for starting the Girls Athletic Association in Speedway and teaching us that athletics are important to girls, too. You know-it takes a good man to be Senior 513011- sor. good in more ways than one, so good in fact that we have two sponsors. Mr. Jordan, who taught us all we know about the functions of government, was the man we always sought when we needed advice about college or careers. A fter the SENIOR PROM, Mr. Troth, our other sponsor, could have been easily mis- taken for another Senior Cas he struggled out the door loaded down with palm treesj. As long as we live, we'l1 remember this tall, lanky chemistry wizard. Forget our faculty? VVho Wants to! A - rw? , .
