Clnj£ SjuLhviUjA.Wj)dsuw 1 (Above) Sherlock wasn ' t quite sure of the product of 3 times 2; so Miss Anna Sufer showed him how to find the answer on the slide rule. Paul Powell and LaVonne Mannfeld took advantage of the lesson, while Miss Mary McCord watched. Miss Suter explained to Sher- lock that the students in trigonometry used the slide rule a great deal. (Below) While Sherlock looked over the many machines in the metal shop room, Mr. Dennis Wright, teacher, ex- plained that tool making was the main project done by most of the boys en- rolled in metal shop. Here Mr. Wright inspects the work done by Gene Lawr- ence and Jack LeMasters. (Above) But before we can have ad- vanced math, we must have a bit of the fundamentals such as algebra and plane geometry. Bill Schmadeke, sophomore, was copying an angle as Sherlock came into the room. Afterwards he met three of Howe ' s math teachers, Mr. Wilbur Chambers, Mrs. Lucy Henry, and Mrs. Rose Scoles. (Below) Nearly all the office forms, dance tickets, play programs, and some of the publicity pamphlets used around school are printed by the boys enrolled in printing classes. Mr. E. A. Patterson, printing teacher, explained to Sherlock and to Frank Knox, Elmer Summit, and Clifford Melvin how the printing press is operated.

(j fAking JiuuJwtA. . . . (Upper Left) If you need your ankle taped, your temperature taken, or if it ' s iust a good old cough drop you need, see Miss Celia Smith, the school nurse is the Howe golden rule. Journeying to Room 121, Sherlock found Miss Smith and two home nursing students, Betty Dallas (left) and Barbara Ingersoll in- specting a complete model collection of equipment for a sickroom. (Upper Right) Sherlock found out that the girls who take foods not only learn how to cook, but how to set and to serve the table. He watched while Mary Bragg (left) and Sue Sweeney served lunch to Mrs. Ruth Shepard, Miss Helen Allen, Suzanne Shortridge, and Judy Miller. (Below) Even though Sherlock has traveled extensively and is a well-edu cated man, he learned a great deal from the guiding lights in the Social Studies Department. By creeping in on another teachers ' meeting, he was able to meet (left to right) Mr. Lewis Gilfoy, head of the department, Mr. Wade Fuller, Mr. Russell Curtis, Miss Dorotha Kirk, Mr. Hartwell Kayler, Mrs. Mary Diaz, and Mrs. Hattie Winslow. After the meeting Mr. Gilfoy told Sherlock about the many courses offered at Howe in his depart- ment. These include social studies, world history, U. S. history, American government, sociology, Latin-American history, and psychology.

J adtimj TyidJwddu (Above) Thirty-three typewriters and thirty-three busy typists greeted Sher- lock when he stepped into Room 223. Here he found Mr. Sherman Pittenger and Mr. M. D. Williams helping Peggy Millen with the ditto machine. Besides typing instruction, shorthand, business law, office practice, junior business, bookkeeping, filing, and commercial geography are also offered in this de- partment. (Below) Sherlock joined Mr. Wathen Leaser in supervising John Carter, May- nard King, and Carol Pritchett who were each doing part of the blueprinting pro- cess. Mr. Leas er told Sherlock that mechanical, architectural, aircraft, and machine drawing are all offered to Howe students. (Above) Miss Hildegarde Kuhar, Miss Narcie Pollitt, Miss Thelma Cooley, and Miss Mary Elizabeth Thumma, foreign language teachers, tried to encourage Sherlock to take either Latin or Spanish or to attend the French Club during his stay at Howe. Unfortunately, however, he was too busy tracing clues to start translating. (Below) When Sherlock walked into the art room Joann Bade was explaining the use of the air brush to LaVina Boor- am, under the supervision of art teach- ers. Miss Janet Keller and Mrs. Loreen DeWaard. Commercial art, fashions, jewelry, leather craft, and arts and crafts are taught in addition to Art I-VIll.
