The strains of music rising through the school, espe- cially on Tuesday mornings, are directed by MISS REXFORD. In addition to her classroom work, she has charge of the orchestra, the Minstrel Shows, the Girls' Chorus, and the music for the Christmas festi- val. In 1937 she became the director of the Music De- partment after receiving her degree from Milwaukee State Teachers' College. MR. FOWLER, who became a teacher at M. U. S. in 1937, is one of the jolliest and most humorous teachers in school. Besides his regular English classes, he is advisor to the Fourth Form, the dramatic instructor, faculty advisor for the Academy, and coach of the Rifle team. Mr. Fowler graduated from the University of Wisconsin and took his Masters Degree there in 1933. NIISS HALL, our efficient librarian, entered M. U. S. in 1937 and teaches English in the junior High School and encourages her classes to do more reading than anyone else in the school. She graduated from Oberlin in 1930 with an A.B.

Since 1928 MR. STROW has been the power behind the varsity basketball team and advisor to the un- predictable junior classes. Many school proms owe their success to his unfailing patience. In his leisure moments he teaches mathematics. He received his B.A, from Indiana in 1924 and entered M. U. S. in 1928. Each day that grand fragrance traveling through the halls reminds us that MISS BOYLES is on the job pre- paring lunch for the hungry herd of M. U. S. And do they enjoy it! . . . Miss Boyles is an old-timer at M. U. S., and no one has ever heard a complaint about the cafeteria. Quite a record! In addition, she teaches the girls domestic science. MISS MACDOWALL, the most recent addition to the M. U. S. faculty, has already endeared herself to the many French students who like to work in class. Al- though her classes are noted for the large amount of work that is accomplished, they are always interspersed with bits of humor and her very interesting stories of France. fff ,M . X Z. Z, , ya MW I tw 1 MISS PARKINSON is a wall ing encyclopedia of information about France and Frenchmen. Since 1935, she has concentrated her efforts on improving the French accent at M. U. S. This year f'Madame be- came the Dean of Girls. She earned her Bachelors degree at Madison in 1930 and her Masters in 1935. In the meanwhile she has spent several summers abroad studying La Belle France and its customs. When you have a question about Latin, Greek, His- tory, Art, or Music, ask MR. STOWE. He entered M. U. S. in 1938, and is instructor of Latin and An- cient History, as well as coach of the Lightweight Football team. He received his BA. from Dartmouth 'Jnrl l'1ic RI A 'Frnrn Qfonfnrrl

The smallest person on the Hockey field, MISS PERRY makes up in energy what she lacks in inches. She knows everything from A to Z about gym work and practices what she preaches. She graduated from Northwestern University last year and became a mem- ber of the M. U. S. faculty the following year. MISS GOODENOUGH is the assistant girls' athletic director, the fourth grade teacher, and the junior High School mathematics teacher. She was graduated from South Dakota State Normal School in 1932, received her B.A. from Oberlin in 1936, and entered M. U. S. in 1937. Every Tuesday MR. SCHAUM cheerfully plays to our singing. Occasionally he obliges the school with a jam session. He is the music teacher for the junior High and assists in all the musical undertakings at M. U. S. Joining the staff in 1933, MISS CLEMEINTSON has been doing three things at once ever since. At her little window she is often rebuking an exuberant Senior, sending out the monthly grades, and carrying on a telephone conversation all at once. She was graduated from Beloit College in 1929, with a Phi Beta Kappa key. MISS PLAETTNER attended the University of Wis- consin before coming to M. U. S. in 1929. She keeps an eagle eye on the School's fortunes, and assists in making out the programs. Miss Plaettner is always on hand and willing to help in any way she can.
