Social Science Senior Counselor 'HOWARD Q. MILLER, M.A. Social Science 'Deceased December 23, 1946 FACULTY MISS BROWN believes that sus- picions of nations toward each other are a great obstacle on the road to peace. A goat attempting to enter the school is one of the most humorous incidents that she has seen at West High. A munici- pal soft-Water plant would be quite beneficial to Rockford citizens, says MR. CAMPISI. The most hu- morous incident he has seen at West High was a hand reaching thorugh the fireplace for an apple in Pygmalion A municipal stadium and field-house would be desirable as a civic improvement for Rockford, suggests MH. DEN- NIS. He feels that Florida, especially during the winter months, is an ideal place in which to live. According to MISS GHEENLEE, more recreation centers and better and more eating places would improve Rockford greatly. Be- cause of its delightful climate, she would like to spend her summers in the northwestern part of the United States. MISS KNILL states that because it has all the advantages of a city Without the usual disadvantages, she thinks that she would like most to live in Evanston, lllinois. Lack of adult education, in MR. MlLl..ER'S opinion, will be a great hindrance to the peoples of the World in their efforts to promote an enduring peace. l-le enjoyed observing sopho- rnores on their first day at West High. mzesg Rv 12

rrxcujtntwf MISS WALKER'S idea for improv- ing Rockford is a statue such as Chicago's monument of Lincoln in Lincoln Park. Because of its mild climate, she would like to live eventually in California. MR. WHITENACK feels that he would enjoy living almost anywhere but A r l v . that he would prefer to migrate with the seasons. A municipal auditorium and removal of the Sparrow haven would be a great benefit for Rockford, he believes. The girls' football game at the pep rally preceding the East-West football game greatly amused MISS WI-IITING. Misunderstand- ing among nations is, in her opinion, one of the greatest problems our people must face in preserving peace. The mountains of Arizona or of the Northwest, because of their climate and possibilities for economic development, ap- peal to MR. WYETH. He urges that Rockford solve the downtown parking problem and encourage renovation of old, unattractive business places. The friendliness of the faculty members and of the students at West High are appreciated by MISS KEELER, who joined West's faculty in january. She considers general mathematics courses very helpful as a background for students' future work.
