Marion L. Loomis Mildred C. Dobbs Helen P. Dodge Home Milt Orcutt Chief Walmer Goodman Praiseall smiled and announced, ‘‘The Department of Social Studies. Dame Jessie M. Bourn is one who enjoys travelin’ ‘bout to see the sights and then to hold them fast behind the shutter of her camera. Dame Bourn, too, has found great enjoyment in the teachin’ of the specially organized class in Economics. Within her room weighty dis- cussions of the laws of supply and demand and others, are carried on daily, discussions over which Dame Bourn has ably presided. Yet—the law still reigns! Master Albert M. Johnson, handsome and able, is auditor of the citizens of ’40, prominent in the progress of his profession and dynamic in his interpretive teachin’! He is, indeed, a faculty favorite! Dame Mary A. Greenwood has returned to Tech and has received a warm welcome by students and faculty alike. Dame Greenwood arrives at the schoolhouse with the ‘early bird’ and has been kind in providin’ study space for the needy. Goodman Gilbert Johnson is new here in our system, but is one who has taken hold in the Tech friendly fashion. Goodman Johnson has taken under his wing the trainin’ of Model see cee Congress aspirants, also, those who keep the vigil of the Gee corridor watch. Mistress Eleanor Reardon is the co-ordinator of social studies in the community, beloved advisor of Tech’s progressive Student Council, coach for the candidates to Model Congress, and a faculty gem. She teaches, too! Master Carl R. Stone is an old standby, advisor of the United Nations Organiz ation, in Tech, of course, and a true fan of the fabulous Roosevelt. Mistress Ruth Grady is one of Techdom’s best natured faculty members. History Mary A. Greenwood Albert M, Johnson Eleanor C. Reardon 14

Left: Moderator and Goodwife Kiley an excellent service unto the community by his able advisorship of the Tech News. Goodman Francis has done much work in the publication of our sheet and is generally considered respons- ible for much of the success of the News. He has been a strong supporter of the W. M. L. S. P. In fact, he is an advocate of anything dealing with literary work. Most of ye know well kindly Dame Edna Lemay, past senior class guider and lively life-giver to the writings of old masters. Dame Lemay busies herself with her home room scholars, caring for their every need. Her smiling, friendly manner, which is noticed by all who travel the west wing, is always pleasant to note. Mistress Hawkins, who loves flowers bout as much as leisurely readin’ and her travelin’, is well thought of by faculty and students alike. Mistress Hawkins has taken a keen interest in the thou- sand-word theme project, so puzzlin’ to the Juniors. Her help, willin'ly offered, has resulted in many fine pieces of work. Mistress Una D. Hilliker, whistler, writer, enthusiast for the latest of bonnet styles and smart jewelry, is a willin’ and power- ful adviser of the famed, prize winnin’ Tech Tiger, and a stickler when it comes to the teachin’ of the fundamentals of English. Under Mistress Hilliker’s guidance the Tech Tiger has risen from Jean G. Hawkins Una D. Hilliker Emma N, Lemay a second place annual to an All-American thriller. Bundles of bonnets for the lady behind the print! Dame Dorothy Ruggles has long been a faculty favorite of many a Tech citizen and never will it be forgotten that greatly through the efforts of Dame Ruggles there hangs Techdom’s Service- man’s Honor Roll. Dame Ruggles is often found long hours after the closing bell giving help to those who wish it. Her sincerity and ability have added much to the esteem held for her by faculty and students alike. Dame Mary A. Weaver, smiling and sweet, a true scholar of scholars, can be found when summer’s nigh off at her country cottage. She is a lover of classics. Dame Weaver has long been in the teachin’ service at Techdom. Her work in editin’ the Sir Roger De Coverly Papers has been viewed with respect and appreciation by the hundreds who’ve studied them during the course. Dame Weaver has conducted, during the past, special classes for those scholars preparin’ for col- lege work. The zest which she applies to the works of the masters is well remembered by those who have been privileged to study under her guidance. Were Shakespeare alive today, they’d surely be fast friends. Mistress Leta Young is reputed to be a master of the English language and just cause for anxious young scholars to work, lest they be taught by the rule of the hickory. Mistress Sadie Tabackman is a new member of the community, one who, judging from her pleas- ant ways, has already found a warm nook in our circle of friendship, common unto all our people. New, too, is Master Henry Black, who cometh from Boston. Master Black has been adopted by all and served the Hi-Y Club on several occasions. Mary A. Weaver Sadie P. Tabackman Leta Young Dorothy D. Ruggles

Ruth M. Gabler Sadie J. Swenson Beatrice D. Miller Eugenia Wilson Economics Mistress McCleary “Mistress Mildred Dobbs, who has a charmin’ southern drawl, has devoted much of her activity to the proper func- tionin’ of the senior citizens, while Dame Helen Dodge has devoted herself to the makin’ of clothes for her daughter and promotin’ of the Junior Red Cross Activities here in Techdom. Dame Ruth M. Gabler is one who truly loves to cook, an’ a good cook she is, too! Mistress B. Miller is a lovely little lady, who in her appealin’ manner, has contributed much during the past year. She’s taken to ‘professional dancin’ ’ aside from her duties as chairman of the advisory committee for the citizens of '47. Dame Marion Loomis, Simmons graduate, enjoys campin’ and outdoor life, but most of all, she says, young people! Dame Swenson is a lady, who takes care to collect costumes of the fading fashions, yet is continually creating new ticklers. The proof of the puddin’ might be a peek at the ’47 fashion show. Dame Eugena Wilson ‘mothers’ twenty of our spry senior young ladies, keepin’ a watchful eye o’er them. Stopping but to clear his throat and allow the township a breathin’ spell, Goodman Praiseall sang out in a voice loud and clear, ‘‘Modern Language Department. Other than her classwork, Mistress Elsa Jeade finds it a pleasurable pastime to garden and to listen to music. Mistress Mary McCarthy is fond of diving, and in the winter is seen regularly, smartly dressed, on the snow rimmed lakes skating. Master Mitchell, instructor at the Junior College and a seer of sights in lands across the waters, keeps his students well versed in both the tongues and habits of people of other lands. Master Fales Newhall, overjoyed at the change in the success of the Federalists, still spends his spare time at the chess board waiting for the promised year! Dame Puffer, colorful, petite mademoiselle, instructor of the French scholars, is often lauded by the graduates who boast of the foundation obtained under her spirited guidance.”’ Modern Languages Elsa M.
