aculty Upon entering the Junior High, we are met at the top of the stairs by the smiling faces of Mr. Miller and Mr. Bell. Behind those smiling faces are fiendish ideas of drill- ing into us the basics of mathematics and social studies. In the next few years, social studies turns into history as we learn the problems of democracy with Mrs. Seymour, how to shovel it at Gettysburg with Pappy Yocum, and fight out Hammu- rabi's Code with Mr. Hofmann. Popcorn Jamison and Casanova Marish hold up the male end of the science department with experiments into the chem- X E ,Q ik if if .g. ,ggi if 32 Mr. Hall, Mr. Miller, Mr. Duncan.

The noisy end of the fine arts is exhibited between the tooting and banging of Mr. Holm's groups and the vocalizing of Miss Gooda1l's. Not to be left out of the noise, the clicking of Mrs. Martin's sewing ma- chines, the clattering of Mrs. Foley's type- Dr. Irwin, Mr. Conte, Miss Strouse, Mr. Snyder. Mrs. Mathews, Miss Zimmer, Miss McKie, Mrs. Becker, Miss Arm- strong. ag... writers, and the clanging of Mr. Watkins' hammers prove that we're being vocation- alized, as well as academicalized. Ready to separate the ain't's from the am not's are Mrs. Becker, Mrs. Wright, and Miss McKie, and a little later, Miss Armstrong manages to set us philos- ophizing on Walden Pond.-Seniors strongly suspect Mrs. Mathews and librarian Mrs. Boulter of pawning the senior English books for pocket money to buy some games, just like Miss Zimmer's. 542

Our Nlathernatncs. Language. History Scuence. and Special Mr. Robinson, Mrs. Kenny. Allen, Miss Told, Mr. Reese. Dead-eyel' Joe Conte, Salty Hall. and Chalk-shooting Klemmer all prove that sports are very mathematical. Ready to take us apart in the belief that everything is sporting are Mr. Reese. Miss Told, Allen, and 'tCoach Roh- inson. We're just glad that Mrs. Kenny is always ready with the hot water bottle. To round out an academic program, of course, there must he more music, and Dr. Irwin with his Latin Christmas Carols is a master here, while Miss Strouse's Cantique de Noel and Mr. Snyder's Tannen- haumf' run a close second. All in all, if we survive these methods. we find ourselves grateful in the end to our hard working faculty. Miss Goodall. Mrs, Boulter. Mr. XYatkins Mrs. Foley, Mrs. Martin, Mr. Holm.
