C' GLCM, cgicfeggfilfa OME of us, in thinking of teachers, rarely stop to realize that theyre just like the people who live next door. Some- how, we are inclined to set teachers apart in a different world. We don't seem to be able to associate them with the every day things that other people do, like baking a chocolate cake or bowling. However, this idea, in spite of its deep roots, is just another unfounded rumor that has been augmented at every turn. We have here, however, concrete evidence guaranteed to disprove this rumor and at the same time to demonstrate that the mem- bers of our faculty are really ordinary human beings like the rest of us, with their little idio- syncrasies and individual likes and dislikes.

LEON C. STAPLES Saperintendenl of Scbooif R. STAPLES is an Old hand at education. Since his grad- uation from Colby College in 1905 his life has been devoted to im- proving educational conditions throughout the state. His first four years out of college were spent as superintendent of schools in Portland, Connecticut. Since then he has held similar of- fices in Ellington, Tolland, Bolton, Suffield, Plainville and East Granby, Conn. During his period of teach- ing science and coaching football, he took graduate courses at Yale where he was awarded Phi Beta Kappa honors. Mr. Staple came to the Stamford superintendency in 1933, and for the past ten years has administered his duties in an efficient progressive manner. FLORENCE L. HOLBROOK Dean of Girly LEON C.

Who would have thought that when Mr. Hughes set out for college with the hope of entering the ministry, hed emerge a teacher and at the same time an accomplished UD pianist? It is rumored in well-known musi- cal circles that he can execute the most diflicult passages of Chop-Sticks. To top all this, he blows a trumpet merely for the sake of making noise. Mr. Selg has been pacing the floor many a night lately, worrying about his bowling average which stands at a mere 92. Wfho wouldnt worry? Mans best friend may be his dog, but Miss Montgomery probably holds her little feline friends in higher esteem than all the puppies in the world. She seems to take de- light in harboring stray kittens, which, we admit, is a very benevolent and worth-while hobby.
