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. Flavor with the cares of an Annual Board and the es- sence of the Vlfest, decocted from four years of tour escort- ing. Pour over a sauce of hon-

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.

MISS JACKSON MR. JAEGER Foreign Language Commercial orary membership in an lndia11 tribe-and you have Miss Hart. Miss HOWARD-There's no putting anything over on Miss Howard. This young lady knows all the little tricks of students, whether they be the freshman girls who come under her jurisdiction as their dean, or the seniors of her chem- istry classes. Be warned: lt,s not wise to engage her in a game of baseball unless you're a big leaguerg she has a wicked way of batting homers and fielding her opponents' most hopeful clouts. Miss JACKSON-Plunk! There is a shower of dirt as the horse- shoe rings the stake. Why, just why, does Miss Jackson limit her horseshoe pitching to the alley? If her skill at that pas- time equals her fluency in Spanish, bring it outg exhibit it openly, that we may all gaze and admire! , MISS KAHNWEILER Library Social Science L. - r ' I 1 '1 MR. JA1-:GER -- Have you noticed how handsomely your yellow overtime parking tags are written? ..... After the fashion of the mailman who takes a hike on his vacation, Mr. Jaeger teaches penmanship and spelling to the police, in his spare moments. At Waite he is the head of the Com- mercial Department and the en- thusiastic celebrant of gridiron victories. Miss KAHNWEILER - Perhaps Miss Kahnweilefs grave pose is one of the requisites of a li- brarianis job, but our Lady of the Library really is a lot of fun. Some day, when you are well acquainted, you may call her uKahny7', too. Miss KIMBLE-If the Society for the Abolition of War feels that the peace movement isnit getting under way rapidly enough, we suggest that they L MISS KIMBLE NIR. KLAG MR. LEACH Science Social Scienc x enlist more attractive curly- locked Peter Pans like Miss Kimble, head of Waite's history department, to plead the cause with eloquence and charm. Who could resist the pleas of fair lady, expressed with such moving earnestness? Besides taking an active interest in world affairs, she does an ex- cellent job of counselling the Peries. MR. KLAG-A strong believer in disciplined citizenry, this Jove of the sophomore boys' domain is the most jovial of men, so famous for his mag- netic personality and his store of anecdotes that the success of any banquet is assured if Mr. Klag is toastmaster. While less ambitious folk juggle jig- saw puzzles, Mr. Klag juggles difficult math problems as his pastime - after his classes in physics and algebra have been disposed of. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Buzz . . . buzz . . . the steady drone of machinery is a constant accom- paniment to operations in the ma- chine shop, pictured here. Mechani- cal drawing, wood shop, pattern making, and auto mechanics classes are as busy and as fascinating. The boys who spend several hours a day in such an atmosphere absorb prac- tical knowledge which will stand them in good stead when the old bus dies on a lonely road, or when the little woman begins to ask for a new desk or an end table.
