SCHAENFELD - Dropping in upon Mrs. Shaenfeld at home, one would expect to find her surrounded by exotic and unusual plants, for she has told her science classes that she is greatly interested in rare flowers and plant-life. MISS SPAYD-Wanted: A new name for Fords. Miss Spayd has gotten as far as Henry VIII, and there is, of course, Elizabeth, but after that, S O S! England, Henry himself, or the official godfather of all Pullman cars to the rescue! However, the head of Waite's English Department seems equal to all demands on her ingenuity Cas witness the original commencement-night dramatization of last yearj and we have faith that she will be equal to the situation when a ninth Ford is stabled in her garage. MR. STEINER-And here is that most popular of teachers, Mr. Steiner, whose classes overflow all housing space assigned him. He is the spiciest of speakers, combining humor with con- structive ideas, as his senior stu- dents and mass meeting audi- ences know. Although he stays up late reading udeteckativei' stories, ta-hal the sleuth never fails, Mr. Jesse Steinerll he's here bright and early to receive the excuses of yesterday's ab- sentees among the freshman boys. Mn. STERLINC1YOu7ll find Mr. Sterling, with hand outstretched for your ticket, at every school affair. He'll get it too, unless . . . . you can beguile him into a conversation concerning his home. Hereas a teacher who carries his classroom practice into his home, which is his par- ticular prideg he built it him- self, you know. Miss TOBIN-HA word to the wise is suflicientf, Sounds strangely familiar, doesn't it, especially to students of - you guess whom! Three guesses! Or is one enough? Right-ol Miss Tobin, teacher of geometry, whose interest in math is so great that she spends even her vacations in studying it. If you would prove yourself a friend, tell her where she can find a new white Persian kitten -- Persian, mind, genuine Persian, and white, nothing but White will do. MISS WAIT!-I-Small in stature, but possessing a remarkable knowledge of equations, angles, areas, and propositions, Miss Waite heads the Mathematics Department-and sits at the high desk in room 214 during home room period. Although tangents, congruent triangles, and hypotenuses are all easy as II to fair-haired Miss Waite, FOODS Um-m-m-l Tantalizing whiffs of freshly baked cake are wafted down the hall from that gourmands' heaven in the south wing, top floor. Here is food that is fit alike for truck driver and king, a delight to the eye and the palate, even while it satisfies a dietitian's fancy. Here home econo- mics students learn to prepare bal- anced menus, to cook them tempt- ingly, and to serve them tastefully.

MR. PAULY MR. PEARSALL M MISS REES MISS ROACHE Commercial Commercial English English years. He is also much inter- ested in young people s activi- ties, and has been the adviser of several school organizations. A fine chap, widely liked - Mr. Osborne. Miss PARKS-Creamed shrimp in rice rings, sweetbreads a la Napoli, ham timbales with as- paragus garnish, Chateaubriand of beef, stuffed lobster a la Bechamel, canapes, souffles, chiffonade salad - all are the products of .the Parks kitchen, when that wizard of figures for- gets the class room to try her hand at the production of epi- curean delights. Miss Parks says she likes to cook, and her luscious concoctions bear out her claim, we do well what we enjoy doing. MR. PAULY-The whole show, that's Mr. Pauly, our master of ceremonies at mass meetings. It is no wonder that our boys work CLOTHING Want to see a room bustling with activity? Take a look at the sewing room - when the photographer isn't there. How fast the girls can make those treadles Hy! The pins always tear the flimsy tissue patterns, and the needles disappear along with the llasting thread, but the finished prod- uct is as bewitching and eye-taking as any gown that bears a famous designer's label. so hard to get a letter, when he, as assistant football coach, is sponsor of the NWN Club. This thundering ex-tackle of former championship Waite elevens aids in shaping new champion- ship elevens, and his vocation is his hobby. MR. PEARSALL-Early in the morning Mr. Pearsall is to be seen driving into the school parking space in his Packard. A teacher of bookkeeping and faculty manager of athletics, his is the responsibility of keeping athletic department accounts straight, disposing of tickets, and getting games for our teams. But though from Monday to Fri- day he is on the hunt for games, on week-ends he goes gaming for moose, bear, deer, rabbits . . . . or Whatever he can bag. MISS REES-Books, friendships, and quilts - beautifully pat- terned, quaint old quilts ofa by- MR. RoHLF1Nc mas. scHAENrEtn Science Science gone day - are the particular interests of Miss Florence Rees, teacher of English and an adviser of the Periclean and the Forum Literary Societies. She teaches English, and does it thoroughly, but the teaching of boys and girls is her first con- sideration. Miss ROACHE - Appreeiative chuckles greet the witty sallies of our irrepressible Irish Mary, who, despite her strictness be- hind the classroom desk, proves that the chaperone may be the life of the party. Zetaletheans will tell you that she's as youth- ful and peppy as any of them-- and a decided asset to the English Department. MR. ROHLFING-It is Steve Rohlhng, teacher of chemistry, inveterate hunter and fisher in his spare moments, who intro- duces football prospects to the mysteries of high school grid- iron practice and puts into read-

I, MISS WALES MISS YVERNEK MISS WERUBI MISS YOUNG MH. YOUNGQUIST Home Economics Home Economics Orchestrzz Science Industrial Arts you need not envy herg after a year in one of her classes they will be so to you, too. MISS WALES-V0gu6 and other ultra-fashionable publications have to print their advices on what the smartly dressed woman will wear because that walking smart-chart, Miss Nelle Wales of the clothing classes, cannot be everywhere to illustrate style trends in frocks, coats, mil- linery, accessories, and coiffure. Her conversation is reputed to be as stirnulatingly clever as her appearance. Mas. WERNER-Girls, do you want to learn to duplicate that fetching French creation for a, mere 33.98, or remodel that out-moded last season's frock and coat? We have a stylist right on hand, that artist in the staging of style pageants, Mrs. Maude Werner, teacher of sew- ing, home-making, and house- SCIENCE Watch the birdie! No, not the cam- eraman's, but the birdies in the hands of the students. One stuffed bird in the hand is worth two live ones sit- ting on a branch, as far as the ob- servation of scientific characteristics is concerned. Or, if you prefer, turn from the facts of evolution to the experimental search for new chem- ical truths in the realm of pungent odors, or to the exploration of elec- trons and ergs in the department of physics. hold economy. We have heard that she is an excellent cook, too, and the proud mistress of a charming white house in a gay garden - a garden as gay as the parrot who keeps her company in the kitchen. Miss WERUM H It's no wonder that our students consider her a rare friend, for she herself said she would rather be with young people than those her own age. But Wait 'till you hear this! She prefers boys to girls and says that if she had the money she would adopt five or six of them. Miss Werum is a lover of sports, especially swim- ming, and adores traveling. This tall, attractively dressed lady is the director of our orchestra. MISS YOUNG-My, how those little freshmen take to science at our school! Miss Young seems to have a magnetic field about her which draws the youngsters to her classes. She confesses a tremendous interest in music, her brother, you see, is a concert pianist of distinc- tion. She is a delightful person, donft we all wish we were as attractive as she? MR. YOUNGQUIST-Waite boys have had the privilege of study- ing under a modest man of un- usual abilities in Mr. Alvin Youngquist, head of the In- dustrial Arts Departrnent, many of whose original ideas have ap- peared in Popular Science and other technical magazines of national repute. A naval archi- tect, he is the master of yachting craft design, and inspired by his enthusiasm, Waite boys have built and piloted model yachts in miniature meets. As our ac- quaintance with this clear-eyed Englishman progresses, reveal- ing to us additional capabilities, we wonder if there is anything that he does not do superlatively well.
