A SOMEWHAT SCRAMBLED DESIGN FOR LIVING MR. ZIMMERMAN likes ,lean Harlow, but prefers Simone Simon to them all. He believes mush with garlic would be about the worst thing one could eat. His humorous friends are his favorites. MISS BERGQUIST believes that there are no such things as nink elephants. She would not like to have Clark Gable in her class because he would attract too much of the girls' attention. She pre- fers winter sports because they keep the weight down. MR. DURSTINE always has a drawer of pea- nuts and apples to nibble at in his spare moments. He says that he would like to move to Swissvale, but he is afraid too many women would fall in love with him. MISS RODGERS believes that it is perfectly proper to chew gum in school. She never drives more than fifteen miles an hour because she fears she will take off . She enjoys teaching Latin because it reminds her of handsome Julius Caesar. MISS STOTLER would like Swissvale High School to have track and tennis teams. Unlike many others, she has no ideas of how to stop floods. No girl should get married before she is twenty-one, she claims, or she will have to work. MISS MERLE COULTER is different from many others-she dislikes ice cream, and prefers pot pie and rake to it. She believes that the French Revolution was a better and more ex- citing book than Gone With The Wind . MISS GRACE COULTER would like to know what the Spanish Revolution has to do with the cheese trade in Swissvale High School. She does not like to go to the movies and she prefers to wave to people she does not know. MR. PAULIE thinks prize fights are a racket made out of inherent barbarismg the hardest thing he ever had to learn was to lose without rancor, and since he learned that, bis pet peeve is a poor sport . If he had the chance to change his life, he would study medicine and surgery. MISS GRAF considers Saturday the nicest dav of the week because she can sleep longer. She is one of the many thousands who go on diets, but alas, she says, with no results. Her opinion' of the sit-down strikers, she says, is unprintable . MISS SMITH thinks the present length of dresses is rather short. Her favorite song is Moonlight and Shadows , her favorite movie team is Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and brunettes are her preferences over blondes. MISS BROWNE likes pets very well, especially Scotch terriers. She likes sports, too, preferably swimming. She enjoys Gilbert and Sullivan operas, all, she says, but the audiences. Page Twelve MR. HASELTINE, a hard worker for the Year- book, says he finds time to do other things in his few leisure moments. He is probably the only person who has not read Gone With The Wind . When he read the last six hundred pages of Anthony Adverse , he was disappointed, so per- haps he will read no more best-sellers . MR. JACKSON is very proud of his home town, and likes to talk about it for hours at a time. He has never been troubled by insomnia- in fact, all he has to do to sleep, is to begin to read. He enjoys wearing red neckties to school, and, after surrendering to this suppressed desire, he was teased about it for weeks. MISS DIA, as she traveled through Europe, visited France, England, Italy, Germany, Switzer- land, and Holland. She enjoys immensely having her picture taken MISS WHITNELL, a comparatively new teacher in Swissvale High School, taught in Wyoming be- fore she came to Pittsburgh. She enjoys directing Swissvale's class plays, but never had any ambition to become an actress. She favors light opera music above Rudy Vallee's program. MISS SEITZ declares that she would rather dance than eat, as long as it does not last too long. She relishes breakfast when it is made up of orange juice, toast, and marmalade. MR. PARKER defines swing music as that which speeds up the blood pressure until even the worst dancers feel like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers . Among his pet aversions he lists girls who giggle. MISS ROBBINS is very fond of baked ham and ice cream and cats: but she detests people who call her Dearie . Like most people, she has a hobby-collecting candlesticks and vases. MR. MILLER-although his report room is on the third floor, does not like to live upstairs. because he detests walking up and down the steps. He is favorably inclined toward spice cake, and likes to talk to the girls. MISS MARGARET IONES likes to travel on her vacations and expects to go to Europe in the near future. She enjoyed being a sponsor of the senior class, and she found it a most interesting class with which to work. MISS SfCHIMMEI.'S hobby is working cross- word puzzles. For this reason her friends call her Idiots' Delight . Her favorite colors are green and brown. 'She says she found the '37 Senior Class both interesting and interested. MISS TENNANT is a very versatile teacher-- she has taught among the Blackfoot Indians. While she was there, she saw Indian squaws smoking, and from that time she has not considered smok- ing a very uplifting habit for girls. She does not like hill-billies, but thinks Judy and Zeke Canova fine exceptions.
