:f-'--- --N' 5-'frn:.yfe.x' J' Q Teachers Create Friendly Atmosphere Necessary evils in the classrooms are the teachers but they really are not bad once you get to know them , so speaks the student body. Our faculty, this year, l1as been rather a changing one. We have had a great deal of variety. First Mr. Ocker and Mr. Keister left Verona and were rc- placed by Mr. Yount and Mr. Rafter wl1o have taken up their responsibilities in the shop and the lab. Mr. Ocker's illness caused him to be hospitalized for some time while Mr. Keister was successful in getting back i11to Oakmont High School, a teaching post which he left some years ago. Both these men had endeared them- selves to us here. Mr. Ocker had started the Traffic Patrol , with his home room group and Mr. Keister stirred up interest in the Rifle Club which has become quite an interesting activity for some of the students. Miss McCullough, who put us through the paces of music for the past few years, has begun a new venture as the wife of an army officer at Fort Benning, Georgia. I n Verona, she has been ably replaced by Mrs. Giltenboth. As seniors, we have been led along the Way in our activities by Miss Mc- Cully and Miss Rupert, as class sponsors, and by Mr. Douds in our P.O.D. classes Where we struggled over Town Hall discussions and Democracyl' studies. The sponsors, of course, do teach shorthand, typing and English. Sponsors for our junior class are Mrs. Higinbotham and Mrs. Henggi, teachers of commercial subjects, mathematics and social studies. These two are also foremost faculty members on the Prom committee. Our French instructor, Miss Bodenhorn, had her hand in the pie too, as coach of the Junior play. Physical education, boxing, Leader 's Club, and Varsity Club honors are shared by coaches Palmer and Vtfild Whose teaching activities are not limited to Senior High but to the seventh and eighth grades as well. The guiding influence of Miss Lindelnuth has been an i11spiratio11 to all Juniors as the American Literature classes struggle to learn such famous selec- tions as Thanatopsis and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Besides teaching, her duties are many. One enormous job is taking care of the financial affairs in all the school activities. All the students realize this is a great job. Clothes and food interest us as much as money affairs and in these prac- tical subjects Mrs. Carson and Miss Lambie instruct all the girls in the newly decorated home economic unit on the third floor of our Junior High building. Miss Steffy, as mathematics and English instructor in the Junior High, Miss Hunter as art supervisor, Mr. Anderson, expert on geography and social studies, Miss Pierce, as science teacher and Miss Lindley with history and Latin as her specialties complete the list of versatile teachers on our faculty. The librar- ian, Miss Eakin, meets us all in the library as we pore over the many books and magazines for reports in our various classes. Perhaps these individuals are human, after all. ELEVEN
