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-

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.

MISS MOORE MISS MORGAN Commercial History fSocial Science, cestry may be traced back as far back as Adonis, we are sure of Beau Brummel, anyway. A dealer in scientific facts, first aid, uniforms, and then more uniforms, and the producer of creditable baseball nines is our handsome Mr. Mills. Per- haps it is Mr. Mills's scientific thinking that makes ours a win- ning baseball team. You may be sure, however, that it takes real system to be athletic trainer and property manager on the side. MR. MOFFATTiWhCC . . zim!! A flash of a tennis ball and thc whiz of a racquet! You can al- ways count on this versatile gentleman to carry off tennis honors. And gentleman he is, as well as tennis player and tennis coach, a gentleman with the manners of a Chesterfield, the shy diflidence and the kind- ly heart of a Lincoln. MISS MOORE-,Tis just as well MISS NELSON MISS NKWBIRT English English for their peace of mind that students turn in typewritten as- signments to Miss Moore, that personable teacher of short- hand, typing, and business arithmetic, else they could never be certain that their dark- est personal secrets remained theirs to keep. For Miss Mooreis hobby is graphology, the reading of character from handwriting. Miss MORGAN-PCOPIC who play the game of bridge are numerous enough, but those who play a really good game are harder to find. The way this likable counselor of the Zeta- letheans lays down her cards reminds us of the efficient way she teaches history. Miss NELSON-Fording the river to school is everyday rou- tine with Miss Nelsong she even packs her Ford with faculty passengers from the West Side 1. 'W' : A MR. OSBORNE MISS PARKS Industrial Arls Mrnthenzatics . . . . and the Pedagogue Special rolls in exactly on time every morning, so they do say. How- ever, for varietyis sake she takes to rail when she Visits the Rockies, and to boat when she 55 7? does Europe. Miss NEWBIRT-That pleasant lady, Miss Newbirt, has dis- covered the charm of Chaucer for herself and for us as well. And how well she can read his lines! She makes us live vividly life during the 'fourteenth century. Perhaps it is her sense of the dramatic evidencing it- self, for she has a very strong one. When you need help in planning an auditorium skit, ask her for suggestions. MR. OSBORNEZMT. Osborne en- joys anything that has to do with automobiles-particularly the Indianapolis 500-mile speed classics, to which he has made an annual pilgrimage for some HOME NURSING Hurt? ls it a burn, a crushed Finger, a thumping headache, a sprained ankle in need of rebandaging, the appearance of a sudden rash-pe1'- haps even a run in your new hose? .lust call on Miss Gerding or any of her Red Cross helpers, and they'lI fix you up in grand style.
