- 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.

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.

Helen Norrgard Ida B. Roy Art Dr. Charles Cockayne and in the summer season, campin’ in the wilds of Quinepeck. Master Harold Schellenger has served the citizens of ’47 well as their money tender and as a Director of the S. A. Board. Master Stanley Sprague, teacher, Mr. Anthony, and actor, is, indeed, one of the most outstanding of Tech’s faculty funsters. Master Sprague with the fringe on top is a man to whom we all look up! Doctor Helen Theinert, who rates among the most popular of faculty members, has an aptitude, a smile for each of our youngun’s, and a promising future in dancing! Mistress Agnes Young spends much of her time away in Waterville, Maine, recuperatin’ from her tremendous task as pathfinder for the citizens of ’46. Common to all is her despair over this modern generation who ‘don’t know beans from a bear’s foot!’ Master Arthur Woodworth, who served in the recent war, has become one of Tech’s heroes. His steady work, as auditor of the Tech Store, well done, has awarded him the admiration of all. Master Woodworth has had his head in the clouds of late lookin’ for that far ad- vanced math class! “In the department of art we have three instructors, who conduct a mighty fine program. Dame Bessie Allen is a lover of new and graceful designs and it is from her classes future Rentners come. Mistress Helen Norrgard, aside from the wonder work of classroom, will long be f AW! : Arthur Woodworth remembered by the citizens of ’47 for her exquisite taste, and Harold W. Schellenger ability to produce decorations for dances that have become part of the lore of the ‘leavers’. Dame Ida B. Roy is one of Tech's most accommodatin’ teachers. She always employs her ability willingly for the benefit of others. Dame Roy is charged with the responsibility of arrangin’ Tech’s show cases and her artistic tastes have been displayed admirably. Dame Roy was the pro- gressive lady responsible for the modern city tucked neatly within our alcove.” Mathematics Henry A. Hewitt Mary T. Kelley Edna G. Marston 17 Agnes M. Young Helen N.
