Milton H. Orcutt Irving G. Walmer Elizabeth Facey Education Dame Weaver, Squire Doane, Squire McCommons, Moderator Kiley, Goodman Jones, Assistant Moderator Gifford, Dame Young, Mistress Adams “The Department of Physical Education,’’ continued Selectman Praiseall. ‘‘Master Henry Batt coaches football, track, and hockey, yet still finds time for his hobbies, making movies and taking snaps. Dame Elizabeth Facey, quick mannered and friendly, spends her summer vacation as a swimming instructor at Windsor Pond. Squire Milt Orcutt is a personality with lots of vim; it’s hardly any wonder that his teams always win! It has been currently whispered bout the pot-bellied stove, that Master Milt and Dancing Don may leave Techdom, along with a certain group of ladies, for a Broadway dancing hit! Edward Barrett David H. Reid Squire Johnny Kalloch amuses many with his locker room ‘tales of ....’ and amazes many more by star basketball performances. Mistress ‘Mim’ Hatch has lots to do. Her office is usually so crowded with friends one never knows who’s who! Mistress ‘Mim’ has served three long years as advisor of the senior class and for her work on the class picnic—‘added relish’! Last, but not least, Goodman ‘Chief’ Walmer, father of Tech’s football, is a man’s man indeed! ‘Chief’, the hope of future pedestrians, teaches auto safety. Rule number one: Never put the cart before the horse nor buy apples from anyone but Walmer!” Science M. Edmond Maynard Alberta McCleary Frank J. McMahon Mabel A. Potter 2I1

s Goodman Lake with some boys from his class. Selectman Praiseall paused momentarily and sang out loudly: ‘‘The Department of Science. “Goodman William J. Clancy has long been a familiar face to many of our schoolsters. His kindness and smiling manner, coupled with his wit and twinkling eye, have made his task as chairman of the Stamps and Bonds Committee as easy as rollin’ off a log. Goodman Howard C. Kelley, with a winning, friendly way, has been a favorite of many of the fresh- men. He has served as chairman of our program for science revision. Squire Alfred ‘Honest Abe’ Lincoln has served long and faithfully as treasurer of our sovereigns. In his free hours, Squire Lincoln tickles the ivories for the enjoyment of all. Mistress Alberta McCleary, another of Tech’s gracious newcomers, is a friendly lady who reflects the charm of nature in the graciousness of her manner. Goodman M. Edmond Maynard is a gentleman, who has great ability in his chosen field, electronics. Goodman Maynard is also busy serving the citizens of ’48 as class auditor. Squire David Hector Reid is a popular person! Other than teachin’ classes in chemistry, biclogy, physics, and physiology, he imparts to them a fund of witty yet practical knowledge formulated as only Squire Reid can! Master Frank J. M cMahon is often seen pushing a chemical cart through our halls both at risk of life and limb and loss of lunch time. But a good sport is he; an example in point is the Rifle Club. Master Frey is a newcomer to Tech this year. We wish him well in his work, and we know the happiness he will have working with Tech’s faculty. Mistress Mable Potter is much interested in photography and ornithology, and, above all, her pets—students! Farmer Potter, and she is, heads for the hills, her home in Rowe, almost as soon as the snow is thawed. Goodman Brooks, one of Tech’s faculty veterans, is kept busy with the chemistry club of which he is advisor. Goodman Brooks served early in the war as a chemist, and upon his return he reorganized the Tech Chemistry Club. Science William O. Brooks William J. Clancy Newell W. Frey Howard C, Kelly Henry W.

“Hear ye—Good people—I report to ye now that famously fabulous Maestro Max Ervin! Master Max is a self-startin’ dynamo. His exuber- ance and youthful zest, his undying ambition and versatile talents have made Max an outstanding gentleman. Everything with Max is newer, bigger, and always, better. It is amazing to see the music department of June, ’47 contrasted with the music department of June, ’41. Its growth in size and quality of work is a tribute to the efforts of Maestro Ervin. ‘Melody Max’ is loved for his stale jokes and corny cracks; for all-in-all, they go to make the man—‘Max’! The swing band, choruses, glee clubs, both men’s and women’s, and the brass band are the sum total of Tech’s Tschaikowsky— Max! Max Ervin “Ye story of William Kuhn I tell. Goodman Kuhn is one of our specialized instructors. His headquarters are found on the sub-level where he can bang away merrily without causin’ any disturbance. Goodman Kuhn teaches the students about valves, gears, brakes—in fact, about everything one could teach about auto mechanics. It is never an uncommon sight to find Goodman Kuhn consoling a student lost in the parts of a jeep. Goodman Kuhn, calmly and usually with a witty word, puts his shoulder to the wheel and soon the job is done. Goodman Kuhn began this work on his own initiative and deserves much credit for a job well done. The auto shop has come a long way under the guidance of Goodman Kuhn. He is another faculty feature who has added much to Tech’s teaching values. Goodman Kuhn is often seen on top the twenty foot ladder helpin’ the citizens of ’48 with decorations. Though the number of his room, thirteen, to some may mean bad luck, to Goodman Kuhn it’s been a wonder work- shop.” Goodman Praiseall paused momentarily while the dames stooped to adjust their foot warmers and gents to draw on their pipes. This he did to be assured of their full attention upon the reachin’ of the “Office Staff Report’’. William Kuhn ; sth i. “3 eg z it we ai
