The Roo Left to Right: Superintendent R. F. Lewis: Principal J. E. Worthington: Vice-Principal A. O. Rahn. Tain't St. Patrick's Day, but when Superintendent R. F. LEWIS is around, it's Erin-C10-Bragh. Thats what gets him into trouble when someone tells him he HAS to do something. Make way for the Irish! Must have been quite a day for the Green Isle when a boy he kicked out of school, to put it mildly, was elected to the school board. Even with all this, though, he's never broken a golf club-not even over a student's head! Was once bound he'd be a lawyer, but makes speeches to a more critical group than a jury now-us. Got his start in life out at Sun Prairie, from which as a callow youth he went to Beloit and went to enough classes to get a B. A. degree. Traveled up to Madison and toiled there for his M. A. Mr. J. E. WORTHINGTON, principal of Waukesha Junior-Senior High School, wasn't always a principal. He's wielded the hickory stick in a little country schoolhouse that boasted 3-6 pupils! One day during his early teaching experience, he heard a queer noise, and forthwith began to cross- examine the members of the class. Just then a troop of ducks waddled past the door-the laugh was on him! Wishes he could do something about the limited opportunities for high school grads to get jobs. Enjoys reading, motoring, football, and 115 -inch steaks. Received his A. B. from Valparaiso, A. M. from Chicago, and studied further at Columbia. Mr. A. O. RAHN, vice-principal in charge of Junior High, doesn't like questionnaires - no re- marks, anybody! Eats what he catches when he goes after the wily demon of the deep. Teaches general science and keeps Edison and Lincoln buildings running like clockwork fgoocl clockwork. of courselj. Made the rounds at Eau Claire, Carroll, Marquette QB. E., Ph. B., and M. E. re- spectivelyj plus three summers at U. of Minnesota. Itches to put on a football uniform every fall and sneak out seventh period for practice. Compromises by watching every game. f-ll s c eller fl if r JN! RJ J 1 Q. Page Ten

Schneider, Friday, Lawless, Hopkins, Magdanz, Wolf, Bray, Lumb, Nashold, Corrigan Lawler Fraser. Fardy, Hoeveler. Ludeman, Sebranke. Readin' 'n' 'Ri in' People who wear high heels with ankle sox or slacks give her shivers. Has B. E. from Whitewater State Teach- ers: also attended Northwestern . . . Mention war stories and anyone who has taken Government Civics knows whom we're thinking of--none other than Mr. JESSE GRUENEISEN. He's peevish towards teachers that want to talk politics, but mention photography or bows 'n' arrows and he's off on a spiel. Sat in on classes at Ripon CB. AJ, Oshkosh State Normal. U. of W., and U. of Chicago . . . Miss DOROTHY DODGE has her guiding hand in G. A. A. She knows every rule for hockey. basketball, badminton, volleyball, and countless other sports. backwards and forwards. Got the main idea of gym teaching at Northwestern CB. SQ. Finished up at Columbia CM. AJ and garnished the whole with a touch of the University of Minnesota . . . In obvious wonder at the bunny is Miss ROBERTA BEST, a scant four-feet-ten of whirlwind energy who teaches 7th and Sth grade music and glee clubs, 9th and 10th girls' chorus and Junior A Cappella, with string classes for good measure. This petite teacher, who loathes audible gum chewing. has her music degree from the Wis. Conservatory of Music. an- other in Music Education from Milwaukee State Teachers' College, and attended Milwaukee Downer and the U. of W. Extension . . . Instead of tinkering with people's insides as he once hoped to do, Mr. WILLIAM CLAY- BAUGH operates on automobiles and teaches embryonic mechanics how to do the same. Received his B. E. from Eastern Ill. State Teachers' College . . . Mr. RALPH THOMAS, Doc to you and you, likes Hshing, hunting. football, ice cream, and good movies. Head of the Science Department, he has. B. A. from Lawrence, M. S. and Ph. D. from Wisconsin. He Camong othersj advises us to learn to work hard. There must be something in it . . . Miss HAZEL SMITH, collector of stray cats, dogs, andart enthusiasts, gets in a little of each with that gorgeous black cat, art students, and Miss Dodge's puppy. The cat's no stray. but Miss Smith is usually caring for some swell feline or canine. Road hogs, and not the kind on the hoof, either, get in her hair as well as her way. Learned intricacies of art at Lawrence and Columbia . . . Just where would all these local badminton enthusiasts have been without Miss VIRGINIA BUGBEE to start the whole thing? And where would we be without our registrar's endless heaps of figures and blanks and statistics? Denying the existence of early escapades, Miss Bugbee does ad- mit that she obtained a B, A. from the U. of W, and attended Oberlin College and U. of Michigan . . . Mr. CLIFFORD GOERKE would just as soon play football or basketball or baseball as watch it. He did mighty well for Waukesha High and Carroll in those fields just as he has done as a coach here at W. H. S. Teaches vocational civics and junior business training. Learned how to do if at Carroll LB- A- in ECOHOIHRSJ. and at Northwestern. CMember P. P. P.-See Doyle, Hallgarth, Horwitzj . . . Curly-haired Miss GARNET FISCHER had plenty of explaining to do during her first day in Waukesha High. Monitors constantly demanded a hall pass from her!
