MATH Miss Martha Zelinka, who teaches mathematics and ad¬ vises the Math Club, is Head of the Math Department. Her powerful personality will indeed be remembered by all her students. Mr. Jeremiah Kellett, mathematician extraordinaire, is famed for his Big Pictures and f ' rinstances. Erroneously known as the Father of Impractical Applications, he has nevertheless left his indelible mark on history. Plane geometry and algebra are to one another as Miss Ellen Holt is to Mrs. June Ellsworth. It is their task to develop an interest in those students who are taking math courses for the first time. From the size of the higher math classes, it appears that they have succeeded.

SCIENCE New to the faculty this year is Mr. Kinley Herboldsheimer who teaches general science and chemistry. A recent im¬ port from the Junior High, he illustrates proper lab tech¬ nique in the above picture. With used bricks, toy carts, knotted elastics, and various improved ap¬ paratus, Mr. Irving G. Marsden gives students a better understanding of the universe as seen through the eyes of the P.S.S.C. Famed in song and story, Mr. Irving C. Keene has created the livingest living biology lab this school has ever seen. Birdwalks, honey bees, geraniums and guinea pigs (amidst the staggered piles of conservation notebooks and at¬ titude cards) are only small fragments of the living legend he has created in his three years with us. Below, Mr. Keene and Miss Elaine Jevely, a new member of the biology department, interview a new tenant of the conservatory. Everything from rusting nails to nitroglycerine falls under the jurisdiction of Mr. Wallace Sawyer, chem¬ istry teacher and Head of the Science Department. Under such guiding lights as Mussel Shoals and the Haber Process, most students learn to pour acid into water, not water into acid. A few forget. 9

LIBRARY Mrs. Signe Hynson is the school librarian. She not only keeps the library functioning smoothly — a major task in itself — but she is always ready to help you find a book or back issue of a magazine which you need. She deserves a great deal of credit for her work and her tolerance during many a trying library study hall. BUSINESS Mrs. Thelma Hoyle, Director of Business Education at Weston High, teaches typing, stenography, and proper office tech¬ niques to the future secretaries of the school. She has in¬ deed made the clatter of typewriters familiar to everyone passing along the downstairs corridor. HOME ECONOMICS Mrs. Ruth Raymond and Miss Muriel Sutherland are the scho ol ' s experts on sewing machines, needle and thread, apple pie, and burnt toast. Under their guidance, aspiring young homemakers investigate needle¬ work and the culinary arts; even the 7th and 8th graders get into the act and keep Miss Sutherland busy during their afternoon cooking and sewing classes. Mrs. Raymond ' s little helpers have had more experi¬ ence, but still know how to cook up a storm. 11
