Hunter, carpenter a n d mathematician are the ver- satilities of Mr. Robertson that can be seen by his many occupations. He always makes a hit with his students because of the way he puts his ideas across-combining facts and wit. SCOTT, ELIZABETH L. Burgettstown, Pa. Librarian Muskingum, A.B., Penn State M.Eg. P.E.

She has also done a grand job ot keeping our library neat and up to date. STRUWING, ROY E. Burgettstown. Pa. Industrial Arts Oswego State Teachers Col- lege, Pitt, B.S., M.Ed. P.E. Okay!

His friend- ly disposition has made me- tal shop a place where every- one can feel at home. MALONE, W. HAROLD Langeloth, Pa. Biology Pitt Univ., P.E. Shush! Dou't disturb my trained fleas! An appropriate title 'for Mr. Malone would be tac- ulty comedian. He puts his humor to work in assemblies as well as in the clarsroom. That smile on his face isnit something that he puts on for pictures. Ask any of his students, it's always there. FILIPPONI, GNA Slovan, Pa. Business Education Pitt, B.S., M.S. P.E.

Miss Filipponi also skillfully manages the Senior National Honor Socie- ty. COLESBERRY. HARRY Burgettstown, Pa. History Muskingum, B.A.. Pitt. M. Litt. P.E. Quiet now, class!

Through his leadership as sophomore class advisor, the sophomores had a very success ul party with plenty of fun for all. HANNA, GABRIEL Langelofh, Pa. Science. Arithmetic Pitt, B.S. P.E. I'll take you down to the coaches' room. Mr. Hanna, the sponsor for the lr. National Honor Socie- ty, is very well qualified for the job. He takes a real and friendly interest in his stu- dents.
