The members of the Math Department were photographed at a recent teachers meeting. A very cooperative group, these teachers enjoy collaborating and comparing notes. MISS IRENE POPE, who recently be- came engaged was awarded her B. A. by Western Maryland. MISS CAROLINE EAGERTON, who has often been mistaken for a student, has al- ready been awarded her M.

WILLIAM BENSON, one of our more distinguished math teachers is a graduate of the U. S. Naval Academy. He did his graduate work in education at George Washington University. Mr. Benson can draw a few interesting comparisons be- tween active duty in the Navy and active duty here at Wakefield. MRS. TEMPIE FRANKLIN graduated from Meredith and was awarded her M. A. by Yale. Her intensive teaching methods have left many a student with a clearer knowledge of mathematics. MRS. RUTH HOY, who was awarded her M. A. by the University of Hawaii, taught in Honolulu for a while.
