X i i Q-a L..-. ge R ad-.ff I MR. PIERRE MAUREY FRENCH Ann SPANISH With a mar, a car dashed past me. t'What's that? I asked. l'hat's Mr. Maurey in his Hying Hupmobilef' I was answered. Mr. Maurey, who came here from Princeton University, is a Frenchman. He is a man of many accomplishments, among which is the skilful driving of the auto mentioned above. Mr. Maurey, besides teaching Spanish and French. speaks eight languages. He draws and paints with much proficiency. He also gives much of his time to music. The house-boys best know Mr. Maurey for his likeable character and his tricks. He has intro- duced many new games and tricks to them. Terrill was lucky to secure Mr. Maurey's ser- vices this year and the Modern Language Depart- ment has progressed under him. MISS LOIS TR CE Lnweiiz Scnyn. Miss Trice has the rlistinition of being the only woman included in e faculty of the school. This fact to many wou suggest that perhaps Mies Trice has a hard time eeping discipline in her classes. This, howev r, is not the case and even the study hall ains calm when Miss Trice is in charge. ple reason for this is not because Mis Trice is' strict disciplinarian but because everyone likesjand respects her. Although Iiss Trice has a. great infiuence over the t' e tudent hody, among the urchins espe- ciaws is all powerful. They think she is the s teacher in town and they Hock around like a warm of bees. . iss Trice takes a great interest in ever thing w h the school undertakes and she is for ,Terrill fro the start to the finish. Certainly, Terrill duld be congratulated for having such a one in er faculty. Sixteen e ez'z'iZZia,zz -.:-1 MR. A. CANNON Hisronv Ann BIATHEMATICS Mr. M. A, Cannon, instructor of mathematics and history, who has been adclel to the list of Terrill teachers during the past year, has proven himself to he a teacher of unusual ability. Besides this characteristic, he is the pussessor of a person- ality that makes him as popular among his stu- dents as any teacher can possibly be. Mr. Cannon is a man whose former record is a very commendable one, having had twenty-six years of teaching experience in the State of Texas. He was graduated from the East Texas Normal College. At one time he was Superintendent of the Georgetown City Schools. The sort of instructor that draws respect and admiration from all is Mr. Cannon. He is reputed as a wonderful disciplinarian in study hall as well as in his classes. We are glad to have such a capable man as instructor in Terrill and it is our hope that he will remain with us for years to come. Singers may come and singers may go, but Ter- riIl's Glee Club sings on foreverf, And the reason: no other than Mr. Curt Beck, its di- rector. Mr. Beck, at the first of the year, had one of the most difficult and nerve-racking du- ties presented to any instructorg that of teaching the members of the Glee Club to carry a tune. But he did it, and then turned to the entire student body and teachers and taught them IXIRA CURT BECK where to make MUSIC their crescendos and swells. Mr. Beck is meritorious of the distinction of having directed the best Glee Club Terrill has ever possessed, and having taught the student body' the most songs that they have ever attempted in a school year.

8Z'Z'iZZi0fZIf-' MR. L. W. FARRAR SCIENCE Lo! What approaches over yon hill? It appeareth as a knight of old only it bestrides a bicycle. Thus would people of old have hailed the approach of Mr. Farrar, science teacher of Terrill. Mr. Farrar rides to and from the school every day on his trusty bicycle. Mr. Farrar has taught everything in the school from domestic science to military drill. However, this year, he has given his efforts to the teaching of physics and chemistry only. He, someway or other, teaches these hard subjects so that the boys learn them and that certainly is a high tribute to a science teacher. Mr. Farrar is known throughout the school for his squareness in giving grades. He is one of the most popu- lar teachers in the school. Mr. Farrar has been in the school longer than any other teacher. Some even say that Mr. Farrar was on the grounds when the school was built, trying to think of some witty remark to make to the carpenters. If he had been as adept in using sarcasm then as he is now, Terrill School would not be here for surely the carpenters could not have kept their minds on their work. MR. FRANK MR. J. FRANKLIN TURNER MATHEMATICS Mr. J. F. Turner is a first class instructor, and more than that, a true gentleman and sincere friend. He teaches all kinds of mathe- matics, rational and irrational algebra, plane and fancy geometry. By setting forth us Seniors as admirable examples, he has suc- ceeded in forcing a great deal of mathematics into the ivory domes of urchins. Mr.:TiTrner takes much interest in Terrill activities., 'Phe business part of this annual has been 'placed under his supervision and he has helped a great deal' with it. He is a thorough supporter of Terrill's athletics, and can be seen at every game 'rooting for the team. Mr. 'Turner's classes are con- ducted Mply and unostenta- tiously, but somehow sa stu- dent gets a great deal out of them. He is always ready to stop and answer questions or to explain something that is not very clear. He grades strictly and fairly without any hint of favoritism. He is always glad to aid a boy with his lesson, and long before and after school he may be found in Room K helping someone who is a little behind. On the whole, Mr. Turner is con- sidered one of the fairest and most sincerely helpful teach- ers in school. BELOW ENGLISH For the untiring interest which he has manifested toward every current activity around the school, Mr. Below deserves the fullest appreciation of the students and the faculty. His work has been characterized this year, which incidentally was his first, by his profound sympathy Cfor third and fourth formers need sympathyj in the lower forms. Always interested and willingly ready to render assistance to some unfortunate student who has struck a stump, Mr. Below has made for himself a lifelong place in the hearts of his students.
