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.

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

Bush School Boa rd The School Board consists of five resi- dents of Swarthmore, who serve as our busi- ness managers. Among their duties they must interview and appoint teachers for the high school and both elementary schools. All matters, such as new equipment and financial accounts, are referred to the Board. Primarily, they must prepare and authorize the budget for the year. Although most of us seldom see the Board, we can appreciate the time and effort they con- tribute to maintain and improve our school. SCHOOL BOARD - Charles C. Marting John F.
