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. Jaede Mary Z. McCarthy Howard Mitchell Fales Newhall Alice A. Puffer

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

- Bessie R. Allen Art Dame Thompkins and Mistress Brazeau William E. Ahern Miriam E. Allen George A. Andrewes The townsters stirred anxiously as Goodman Praiseall’s tenor loudly decreed: ‘‘The Department of Mathematics, the instructors in this department know all the angles! Méis- tress Miriam Allen is making preparation for the big year acomin’ since hers is the head advisorship of the celebrated citizens of ’48. Although Squire Ahern confesses to goin’ down the hill, he seems to be none the worse off. Shortly after his arrival at Techdom, he rolled up his sleeves and pitched in his lot with the senior advisors. His work on the Senior Prom has been meritorious and his patrollin’ of our hallways has earned him the respect of all. Most people say that his bark is worse than his bite while he’s on duty, for its easy to sense a warm heart even in one who searches for passports! Master George Andrewes, when not fishin’, travelin’, or a plantin’, devotes much enery to his duties as S. A. Director and Faculty Athletics Manager. Master Andrewes loves leisure and will not ‘waste his time’ doing a problem in the assigned way; he uses a slide rule, and with remarkable accuracy. Master Benjamin Bushey is a disciple of Darius Green, for he has gone overboard on these flying machines. Master Bushey, as Techdom’s model architect, has on the side, distinguished himself by the work in his model shop. Master Butler, distinguished and attentive to his duties, works tirelessly as business adviser of the Tech Tiger, as quiller of the S. A. Board, and as ‘proxy’ poppa to his grand senior home room. Dame Eunola Hederman divides her time between her devoted goats, teaching a heavy curriculum, and developin’ dancers. Master Theodore M. Chase is a true ‘ringer’, and for his thoughtfulness to those prospective buyers of class rings; by special request, a word of thanks. Master Henry Hewitt has served our young men as Hi-Y advisor and has distinguished himself as editor of Techdom’s only weekly news service. He confesses that between his young son and his master mathema- ticians, the contact with the Hi-Y is uplifting! Mistress Mary Kelley enjoys tinkerin’ ‘bout her stove to produce delightful results as well as her new duties as advisor of the spirit- ed citizens of ’49. Mistress Edna Marston has been carrying a heavy load this past year enjoyin’ her duties as class advisor of the forty-niners, giving helpful hints to the needy, Mathematics Benjamin R. Bushey C.
