is Faculty It is a far cry from the old-fashioned school system to the one operated at Washington Park High. Ichabod Crane taught in an environment requiring a minimum of instruction and all too much discipline. Today, discipline largely takes care of itself-the instruction being generally adequatwand students and teachers work to- gether in capacity of friends and ad risers. Each group has its fun and its problems. The Kipi staff has endeavored to present the elder group of its school population in both aspects: elsewhere in the book various individ- uals in connection with diverse interests, here as the photographer found them. Women members of the teaching force had a spring dress-up party. The costumes were most fetching. In the back row Cupper leftj stand Misses Pennefeather, Hemmer, Harvey, Enright, McDonald, Sawyer and Doughertyg seated are Misses Walker, Simmons, Holt and Mrs. Felton. Can you tell whom each represents? Another group is pictured lower left. Misses Thompson, Weichers, Perham, Case and Root stand back of Misses Laub, Ruggles, Howe and Peterson, giving full display to the latter's Old World and old New World costumes. Miss Neitzel, Ccenter leftj is caught by the camera in the midst of a class lecture. Mr. Saetveit, despite the fact that he is now a car owner and prefers to ride, is pictured out on the middle of all things, a foot bridge Ccenter rightj. Back of the eye bandages, believe it or not, is Principal W. F. Hood entering into the fun at Tri Alpha's Dad's Night. If we were inclined to point a lesson, weid say the picture proves the need of a clear vision in a troubled world. l 8

Sideglances When two scientists get together we'd suspect them of talking science, but what might the subject be when a social scientist joins in. You guess what Mr. Berven, Mr. Sanders and Mr. Iselin are discussing Cupper leftj. Said the photographer, 'tCaught Mr. Von Haden in a typical pose. He'll love me for printing it! CUpper centerb Do you recall see- ing that finger massaging a tired eye? We thought at first that Miss Baker was carry- ing a birthday cake, and carrying it high to avoid corridor calamities. On second thought we realized she was in a group of teachers at the ladies' costume party. Accounted for in the picture crightb are, standing: Misses Rodefer, Jones, Teuscher, Baker, Pugh and DuFourg and seated: Misses Potter, Mohr, Hunter and Collier. If we aren't mistaken, the lady group encoun- tered some dissident elements. Picketing the party appear to be three rather modern misses, Pelnnefeather, McDonald and Dougherty Lupper rig tl. You take them out, put them on in black or red, and put them back. The occasion is the recording of semester grades on students' cards in the library. Shown at the racks taking and putting are Mr. Walter, Mr. Rogers and Miss Simmons mcenter lefty. It's a glorious day! The photographer noted that, but what she forgot to do was mention whether or not Miss Shankland fcenter leftl was smiling as she arrived at, or left, school for the day. Could you guess? The close-up -pardon the pun-would indi- cate that Mr. A. B. Close is applying some of that scientific judgment of his Qbottom leftb. By keeping his head below that of his oppon- ent, won't Lois Lettsome take the weight off the other string and permit the vice principal to approach the marshmallow with blitzkrieg speed? 9
