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

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

ffirfa .J xv., ..,n-AA Roll Call 107 was one of several Park win- ners in the annual Park-Horlick game ticket sales contest. As a result the group, composed entirely of boys, had some prize money at its disposal. How it was invested may readily be seen. Standing to the back are Joe Reinhofer, Norman Zierke, George Beyer, Bill Seater, Ray Anderson, Paul Bulik and Robert Blaesing. Nearer the food supplies are Joe Alcott, Tom Miller, John Swengel, Alvin Nielsen, Art Mc- Callum and Bob Larson. As the gang was Park High light of the first Stu- dent Council assembly program of the year was the Marx b r o t h e r s impersonation pre- sented as the last item on a variety program. Pictured as they explained, Who's on first, What's on second, are Al Zu- pek, Art Aiello and Dave Hansen. The costumes and ap- paratus used, we understand, were entirely of the boys' own creation. graduated in midyear, some other roll call will have an opportunity of winning the prize in 1940. Doesn't the feed look as if it were worth going after? Jitterbug dancing' may be on the wane, but it hasn't lost its action. At least the demon- stration given at the first Council assembly by Mike Marudas and Dorothy Goetz proved a point or two as to what grace and dexterity are required to put on a first rate performance. Bill Mahdik a n d Melvin Johnson, caught in the act of upsetting Joe Sachen, pretend they are catching flies. The performance is all part of the challenge pre-Horlick game assembly at which their gang is invited to meet our gang in a fair and square contest, and may the best gang win!
