l MISS ADAMS MRS. ALLEN Commercial linelixh Miss ADAMS-A perfect mar- cel, frocks of pink and baby blue, and a quick, cheerful smile - that's our busy com- mercial teacher, Miss Adams. There she goes, packets of mimeograph stencils and let- ters under her arm, on her way to typing, shorthand, busi- ness law, or the Commercial Club, or on a new hunt for an economics text whose prin- ciples are consistent with pres- ent-day conditions. MRS. ALLENZGCUSC your bean l U adjures Mrs. Allen, that genial friend to everybody. If you do, you'll find her leafing through the schedules of the junior and senior girls, whose class dean she is. And who, we ask, is responsible for those get-to- gether parties sponsored by the school mothers, and for the ac- tivities of the Hi-Y, of which she is honorary adviser? None other than Mrs. Allen, who is 1 MR. BAIRD MR, BALL Industrial Arts Muxiq equally popular with parents, girls, and boys. MR. BAIRD-Have you never known that Mr. Baird was a boating enthusiast? Step into his den and take a look at his collection of pennants, awarded him as the owner of several winning catboats that carried off honors in the Put-in-Bay regattas. A jolly fellow he is, too, despite the camouflage of gruffness he adopts occasion- ally. MR. BALL-The rear of an Essex vanishes down the street, the rumble seat stocked with a library of operettas. The che- rubic chap in the driver's seat must be Mr. Clarence Ball, di- rector of choral music, dashing across town to Scott, Libbey, DeVilbiss, or Woodward High Schools, or, if it is later in the day, setting out for Detroit to direct the J. L. Hudson Glee . L - I MISS BOERCER MISS BUMGARDNER Foreign Language Foreign Language Club or to assist engineers of radio station WWI in their de- velopment of a new television set. Miss B01-JRGER-All through those backward spring months Miss Fon Boerger glances from her Latin text toward the win- dow and wishes fervently for sun and gentle zephyrs. Golf greens must be dry underfoot before such fastidious ladies as Miss Boerger will venture forth to try their luck with a per- verse little white ball. Miss BUMGARDNER - Spanish and algebra are interesting sub- jects, but more so at Waite be- cause Miss Bumgardner makes them so. lt is efficient Miss Bumgardner who presides at the front of the auditorium when the seniors file into the inquisition chamber to take their state intelligence tests, and stop-watch in hand, calls ENGLISH DEPARTMENT When youive learned to differentiate between there and their, to and too, you may be given a chance to sample the literary flavor of Chaucer, Shakes- peare, Dickens, Mark Twain, and O. Henry. Waiteis English courses train you to speak forcefully, to write clearly, to read intelligently and with discrimination. Group discussions are employed to bring out the initiative of the student.

Mr. Conser is approaching the microphone now, smiling and nodding in his usual genial fashion. Students, we pre- sent .... Mr. Conser, our friend and principal, in his farewell message to Waite seniors. 4'Seniors, you have been dialing at the radio Waite. Some of you have found your stationg others will continue the search. ln your quest some of you have met with a great deal of static, for others the reception has been clear. Some of you have restricted your dialing to a very short range, others have tuned in to that region beyond the class room. Many have been the helpful experiences and lasting contacts you have made. uWhat station will you tune in to after you sign off the sta- tion W A I T E? You will go 'Around the Dial, testing various stationsg some will stop at stations of pleasure, some will stop at stations of information, and some will stop at sta- tions of service. '4Be loyal to the .station of life at which you stop. Give that same loyalty of service and love that you have helped to broadcast at station W A I T E for the past four years. MAS each of you finally dial to your last station, may you hear the Father's commendation of cWell Done'.'7 Philip H. Conser, Principal Miss WEMP Miss BEIER Miss DARING H in 5 ,V ll, 419

. tl gf WJ . 1 M vlan R . A MISS BURNS MISS BUTLER English Furwign Language Timel,7 on their perspiring efforts. She seeks release from the routine of checking tests in the concerts of visiting artists and at her own piano. Miss BURNS-MiSS Burns! - Now thereis a literary name for youl No wonder that this blue- clad lady has chosen English as her particular realm. Stu- dents struggling with fulius Caesar, Lady of the Lake, or Kenilworth will always find Miss Burns-helpful, gentle, patient Miss Burns-ready to explain all problems away. Her sweet seriousness wins the aiiec- tion of all those who come to know her as a teacher or as adviser of the National Honor Society and the Zetaletheans. Miss BUTLER-Miss Butler stands before her French class. With all the expressiveness and imitative powers of a true Frenchman, she gets her idea FOREIGN LANGUAGES Parlez-vous francais?--Sprechen sie Deutsch?-Dicisne Latinam?forQ gliabla usted espanol? lt makes no difference. The importance of mutual understanding between nations is generally recognized, and what bet- ter way is there of acquiring sym- pathetic understanding than by the study of the language, cultural back- ground, and habits of thought of our foreign neighbors? l MRS. CANFIELD MISS CARPENTER MR. COLLINS MR. COMBS Science Art across, without using one word of English. Youlve heard how popular she is. We like her youth and pep, maybe that's why so many students take French. MRS. CANFIELD-Did you ever catch Mrs. Canfield playing with a stray school dog? We understand that she takes a great interest in pets, especially this kind, in bugs, too, be- cause she is a most competent teacher of biology, in boys, most of all, because she has three of her own at home - Lee Junior, Dan, and Mark. Miss CARPENTER-Besieged by budding artists clamoring for her kindly suggestions is Miss Carpenter, that sweetest of gentlewomen, whose winning manner has made her every contact with students a pleas- ant one. Those tea pots, bowls, and vases of interesting line Industrial Arts Social Scimife and luscious hue make ideal subjects for still life composi- tions, but we suggest that Miss Carpenter introduce Cheerio, her handsome white Eskimo spitz, a gleaming turquoise satin bow under his ear, as a model for more expert stu- dents. MR. CoLL1Ns-If travel is broadening, Charlie Collins is simply immense. So fond of traveling is he, that he keeps his winter bachelor quarters at Point Place - which this year has been the scene of no few Forum cabinet meetings-and his summer home at George- town, Colorado. It must be this constant shifting of scene, the variety of his interests, and his keenness of observation that make Mr. Collins the clever, in- teresting fellow he is. MR COMES-Nineteenth hole gossip: Mr. Combs plays golf. t
