They appreciate and recognize a good joke, whether it be on themselves or on others. This does not mean that they permit foolishness and unnecessary waste of time upon trivial things, but it does mean that they create in their classes a friendly, informal atmosphere, that is so necessary in order to maintain a co-operat- ive organization. There have been students who thought our teachers showed partiality, but here they were wrong, for there was never a group of people endowed with a finer sense of justice. This virtue has shown itself in their impartial grading and judging of each pupil. They are willing to give credit where credit is due, and they have an in- definable gift of picking out those who are merely bluffing and are not deserving of credit. These teachers, as well as the pupils, realize how inadequate our present grading system is. It is a practical impossibility to divide such a large student body into four groups of different rank. We are all wait- ing for the time to come when a student will work for the hidden but solvable value E141

Q-.211-fffvvlvl--I-ole!--f-l-1-12,1-nf-J Faculty HE FACULTY deserves much credit for a student's success. Few people, realize the importance of these individuals in the lives of students. With them rests the responsibility of seeing that each stu- dent has received an education that will enable him to carry on successfully in later life. Throughout each day, these teachers are being constantly besieged with questions: yet they answer all of them with an un- derstanding that bespeaks great self-con- trol and patience, virtues that are seldom found so bounteously in a large group. To them acrimony is unknown. In order to solve the countless problems that are constantly arising in high school life, teachers must possess a delicate skill in saying and doing what is expedient or suitable in trying circumstances. This skill enables them to maintain an unfaltering discipline among the students, which is maintained during the years of the admin- istration of school affairs. Most of these men and women possess an almost incredible sense of humor, which is seldom equaled in any other Portland i131 Miss Armitage Miss Baltimore Miss Barber Latin Mathematics English Mr. Bonbright Mr. Bouck Miss Brown Head Mathematics Science English Department Science Mr. Christensen Miss Cleland Miss Colton Manual Training Mathematics English .

Faculty marks on his report car Many of the teachers have remarked that if in his school course instead of for high ' d. if they learn with the students. Any ne ideas or possibilities for greater knowledgw are greeted by them with an eagernes that they try to convey to the students. Even though many of them have graduated with high honors from some of the largest universities of fine scholastic records, they return many times to these voluntary ef- forts for more knowledge. They are re- quired to earn extra credits each year by attending lectures on new and worthwhile subjects, by entering extension courses, and by reading books worthy of their val- uable time. In turn, they are always will- ing to reward a student for any work he may have done outside of that required. Through association with so many dif- ferent types of personalities, they develop such an understanding personality of their own that they can deal fairly with any type of student. A careful study of some of the teachers reveal that they employ psychol- ogy to a greater extent than one would imagine.
