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.

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-

NIR, MCCALLISTER MISS MALLORY Commercial Home Economics MR. LEACH-Dollars to dough- nuts he canlt read the ther- mometer from that distance! But again, as usual, Mr. Leach, teacher of civics and history, scores in his daily stunt. He never seems to miss. Around election time, wise is the chap who consults Mr. Leach for his prognostication of election re- turns before placing a bet. Mr. Leach is often uncannily cor- rect. MR. MCCALLISTER-The elat- ter and bustle of a locker room hold a tremendous appeal for that doughty Scotsman, Don McCallister, whether it be dur- ing a golf tournament or an- other strenuous football sea- son. Athletics and Mr. McCal- lister are almost synonymous. for he is athletic director and head coach, and his hobby is golf. Making birdies and keep- ing his score at par are his goals during summer vaca- MATHEMATICS Tllere may be some who would rather do acrobatic stunts on the parallel bars than exercise their wits on par- allelpipeds, but spheres, comic sec- tions, trapezoids, even hypocycloids hold no terror for these students of solid geometry who have been well drilled in the fundamentals of math through two and one half years of algebra and plane geometry. Some of these experts will doubtless use their skill in figuring stresses in skyscraper and suspension bridge construction. MISS MARINE NIR. MATHIAS Surial Sviflrim' Mntlznmntics tions, throughout the fall and winter he devotes his time to his psychology classes, and the coaching of those terrors of the plains, the Waite Indians. Miss MALLORY-Mothers who yearn for eflicient aid as they clean the cupboards, delve into the spring cleaning, and plan to entertain Aunt Susan and Cousin Jennie's children, have aid at hand if only they were aware of it, in Miss Eflie Mal- lory, who trains their daughters in every branch of home-mak- ing. She is a hustler, quick in action, and a stickler for per- fection. She rides horseback, she golfs, she swims, she goes antique-ing-and she adores her afternoon tea with an ac- companiment of crisp whole- wheat wafers. Miss MARINE-Miss Kimblels companion-in-arms, or rather, her fellow crusader against MK, MILLS MR. MOFFATT Science Commercial arms-Miss Fay Marine, under- standing teacher, enthusiastic h i k e r, a n d discriminating reader. Get Miss Marine started on the glories of Glacier Na- tional Park as seen from the trail, and you will be seized by an insatiable desire to go West, young man, go Vl7est, by the first train. MR. MATHIAS-Few of you know that we have in our midst a national whist champion, a bridge expert, a crack bowler- and all these in the person of Mr. Mathias, who does his best to teach us higher math and keep those upper class boys from playing hookey. His par- ticular pride is his remarkable collection of Victor operatic recordings. Are there three hun- dred or three thousand of them? Vlfe were too dazed to re- member. MR. MILLS-Mr. Millis an-
