l r Dog Gone! MAN as handsome as the above picture would indicate, should by rights haunt a photographer, instead of kicking over the traces about having his picture made, as this cam- era-shy person did. He threatened to ruin the book by not allowing his picture to go in. He said he had a reputation as a tough guy to maintain and besides that, a flossy photograph might break in on his run of luck. With much coaxing, he was finally brought around and since then he has been one of the staunchest supporters of this book, even going so far as to coerce his ge- ography class into getting one apiece. What Mr. Hammond says to the little kids goes, to a certain ex- tent, but from September to November what he says to the football fellows goes absolutely. I-le's the czar, martinet and chief engineer of our football steam roller. Dressed in a woolen jersey and an old pair of baseball trousers, topped by a white felt hat of surpassing dinkiness, he is at his best. His coaching is Billy Sundayism applied to footballg action, tongue-lashing and slang carried to their highest degrees of perfection, all directed by a consciousness trained in every department and ramification of the game. in ZZ QL' EE

UQ' 'EQIBIECQE' Say, 'A-a-a-h' ! HE. name of Mrs. Walling stands for music in the Terrill School. It is Mrs. Walling who annually turns out a credit- able Glee Club and Little Boys' Chorus from some of the most unpromising material imaginable. It is Mrs. W'alling who leads the orchestra in chapel and who thumps that resounding chord on the piano which brings every body to his feet in one big surge. Although she conducts no regular classes, Mrs. Walling is as busy during the day as the next one, giving private lessons in piano, mandolin, guitar and violin. Her efforts in making the voices of a bunch of huskies who originally couldn't sing but did sound plausible, are nothing short of heroic. For a while, in the early part of this year it looked as if Mrs. Walling was going to be the captain of a new kind of ball team, only this one would have a W where the first ul usually is. By infinite patience she got her proteges into a condition bordering on the vocally possible and impressed them with the fact that there's nearly as much difference between A and D on the scale as on the bi-weekly report slip. ln a remarkably short space of time, Mrs. Walling has reduced the num- ber of separate voices from about twenty to the regular four. That's achievement enough for- any one. 21

fm 1915 F I Beg to Differ. ICE has its W. Sidis, but Terrill has its N. D. Goehring. We're almost tempted to quote something about and still the wonder grew that so young a head could carry all he knew, but Mr. Goehring might not like it and if this book is to go well it must have the faculty with it. Mr. Goehring spent his first day at Terrill explaining quietly, but firmly, that he was not a house boy nor yet a town boy, so help him! but the new assistant English instructor. Something in his enuncia- tion rather than in his appearance told us that he spoke truth and ever after we have pointed to him as an example of how a few birthdays may be made to go a long way. If Mr. Goehring is especially distinguished for anything it is his basketball playing. In the faculty game his was the strength of twenty men because his complexion was clear. The article of guard- ing he put up was the feature of that game. The way he mixed it up there should have left a favorable impression upon the mem- bers of his classes. Anyone that knows Mr. Goehring will admit that by his ability and his amiability he has found a place in the regard of all Terrill- ians. 23 QE 15031915 QEE,
