at 'Zl.6l16Zf 7Zic'Aet5 an! uueu The photographer caught Mr. Snyder and Miss Pierce preparing their lessons. Mr. Snyder who teaches chemistry is preparing a class demonstration. Miss Pierce has some microbes on a slide to show her sophomore biology class. Mr. Brammer looks pleased as he inspects the projects of the boys. Little wonder they like shop and mechanical drawing, with such a con- genial instructor. The overseers of the library are in a get-to-gether. Mrs. Cushard who served as librarian from four o'clock until nine when the library was open to the public, has now resigned and Miss Durst is in charge. Miss Lindley who teaches Latin and history, has a group of Seniors who re- port to her in this room while Mrs. Fehrenbach who teaches French and history restrains a group of sophomores who have the library for a report room. Miss McCollum and Miss Hunter in a little informal gathering. Miss McCollum is serving some delicious tea made by her home economics class for maybe the boy's cooking clubj to Miss Hunter. This is the pause that refreshed Miss Hunter and aided her to carry on her art work for the day. Mr. Brown and Mr. Douds look like they are glad when school is out. Probably Mr. Brown's typing and bookkeeping classes were practical joking again. I wonder if Mr. Douds is telling some of the boners pulled in P.O.D. class, or perhaps his algebra and plane geometry classes serve as the topic of conversation. Maybe they are just talking as teach- ers have a way of doing. Mrs. Palmer and Coach Wild, athletic directors, are probably laugh- ing about the results of the Verona-Oakmont basketball games. Al- though the girls team, coached by Mrs. Palmer, did not have many games scheduled, they had a successful season. Doctor Remaley's secretary, Miss Maroni, is ringing Mr. Snyder. Julia is everybody's friend. Besides being Doctor Remaley's personal secretary she will help anybody else out when she is free to do so. The Junior and Freshman English teachers are giving a demonstra- tion. Miss McCullough, Freshman teacher, seems to be dictating to Miss Lindemuth. Diagramming is one of the subjects which is not al- ways a favorite with all the students. We wonder who that you be quiet glance was meant for. Miss Claypool, sponsors the Junior class. She is pictured as she is running off some work on the ditto machine. Even though she has a staff of N .Y.A. workers under her supervision to do the work, you can always find her working hard. Mr. Brallier who left at mid-term to take another position, taught civics and first year algebra. Mrs. Helen Henggi who replaced him in Verona, hails from Oakmont but served as teacher here a few years ago in the physical education de- partment. She, Miss Rupert, Mr. Boydston, and Miss Steffy seem to be collaberating on the advance copy of the year book. Judging from their smiles maybe they are looking at their own pictures. The latter three all teach English at various stages of the game. Miss Steffy and Mr. Boydston in the Junior High and Miss Rupert to the Sophomores and Seniors. 11
