MISS COWELL MR. CUMMINGS MISS DRUGCAN MR. FOLEY MRS. FORTUNE MISS CERDINC English Inzlustrial Arts Science Radio Mathematics Sclmnl Nurse We thought you didnit know that, but we all know how well he manages the business staffs of the Retina and the Annual. If keeping busy means keeping happy, Mr. Combs should be in deliriously high spirits, for besides conducting the used book exchange, he acts as coun- selor for the D.'s. fAnd he can still smile-and does, most of the time.j Miss COIVELL-HHVC you ever heard ofibadminton? Miss Mil- dred Cowell is as expert at this English game as at tennis. Quick of eye, of hand, of foot, of wit, she makes things lively wherever she goes. She is a stimulating companion, in the class room and outside, with her freshness of observation and her gift for sparkling re- partee. MR. CUMMINGS-It is Mr. Cum- mings who plays the role ol chief operator at every school movie program and chef ex- traordinary at all faculty out- door picnics. To see him pre- siding at a charcoal grill, turn- ing savory steaks while a circle of ravenous faculty sniff ap- preciatively, is to see the high priest of cookery surrounded by ardent devotees, before an altar whereon no burnt sacri- lices are ever offered. Miss DRUGGAN -- Even on the gloomiest of days, we are cheered when we meet Miss Sarah Druggan, who carries a broad smile for everyone. This decisive lady is always on the go, busy with classroom work or Junior Friendship Club ac- tivities. No wonder that travel is the hobby of this purposeful, energetic friend of ours. MR. FOLEY-MT. Foley, tithe radio mann, reigns supreme in his tower on fourth floor, mix- b ing with his technical instruc- tion keen, clever observations that bespeak a man 'of wide travel and experience. He has been as busy as a bee this last year because of his experimen- tation in a new radio field. MRS. FORTUNE -Q Fortune her- self, in person - and fortun- ate is the student who comes under the guidance and tute- lage of this most gentle, friendly and patient of teach- ers. It is his mis-fortune if he does not discover for himself what a lively, witty, entertain- ing companion she can be. She is used to young people and en- joys them, for she has three who are as proud of their mother as she is of them. Miss GERDING- Pale, cool, calm, sweetly impersonal, the white-clad figure of Miss Gerd- ing administers Hrst aid in that room to which every student COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Did you say rice came from Cuba? You're mistaken, it's from Japan. Visit Mr. Moffatt's Commerce and Industry class and learn all about the world's industries and your own home town's claims to fame. This is only one of the opportunities offered by the Commercial Course, students in other classes are struggling with leidgers, handwriting charts, business letter texts, typewriters, shorthand manuals, principles of sales psychol- ogy and business law.

. 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

Future home-makers have her to thank for the invaluable suggestions her home nursing classes provide, and certainly the Red Gross girls owe her a debt of gratitude for her spon- sorship of their very active or- ganization. Miss G e r d i n g chooses reading in general as her hobby. Miss GIBSON-If students of today are charged With care- lessness and inaccuracy, cer- tainly the fault is not that of Miss Gibson, that most thor- ough-going of scholars, who knows no compromise' with anything short of perfection. Miss Gibsonis chief enthusiasm is Latin and the story of Roman civilization, and she communi- cates that enthusiasm by her vivid description of the historic spots she has visited on her two cruises to Southern,Europe. SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Three guesses what's going on here! If 1hey're seniors, the object of their attention is probably Current His- tory or Time , If the pictured group are juniors or sophs, the studious ones are reading historical novels to supplement information given by their regular history texts. The records of the past are doubly valuable as they make present events more understandable. And the study of civics contributes directly to a more enlightened citizenry. D Qs. TR ,J af MISS GRIFFITI-I MRS. HALL MISS HART MISS IIOW.4RD Foreign. Language English English Science f gf J74fL I QA L MISS GOODALL-A busy, smock- clad figure hurries down the hall and disappears around the corner. Miss Goodall is oil on one of her never-ending er- rands, perhaps to do some work for the student council, to ad- just some student organization difliculty, or to help an indi- vidual student. Her duties are so very numerous and demand- ing as teacher of biology, head of the science department and assistant principal of the school, but she continues to be calm, generous, and capable. Miss GRIFFITH-4'Nicht so schlechtfi muses Miss Griffith, dean of sophomore girls, glanc- ing at the heavy score under her name as she indulges in a game of bridge-or golf--ali ter a day of teaching French one of and German. Quoting our most critical young swains, uAnyone would be proud to call Miss Griffith a friendv MRS. HALL-Mrs. Hall needs no introduction. You could scarcely miss knowing that blessed bronze head of hers even if you did not know her in one of her guises as an in- genious English teacher, a tal- ented home-maker, an expert in culinary art, a scribbler of provocative jingles and distin- guished prose-and one of the most obliging persons 'of our acquaintance. Miss HART-Take one eliicient English teacher, add two lu- minous brown eyes, a Hashiug smile, unique hair dress, and a dash of sparkle. Beat together with distinctive taste in dress, sympathy, wit, and understand- ing.
