i The TIGEM r v E feel that the Board of Education should be compli- mented on its excellent selection of teachers. It is hard to imagine what school would be like without Miss Garver. Al- though she is red-headed, she is noted for her patience with her pupils and her understanding of them. How could we have struggled through the maze of history without her unlimited knowledge of the interesting people and things as far back as history goes ? Miss Cummins, as English teacher, has taught us that it ain ' t correct to say ain ' t and has done much to instill in us a desire for good literature by her ex- planation of Paradise Lost, The Canterbury Tales, and other works of literary merit. Miss Vaught is certainly described by the words faith, hope, and charity. For three years she has been teaching Adolphe Smith how to speak Spanish correctly. Mothers and dads should be especially grateful to Miss Lambert for she has taught their daughters how to sew a fine seam and cook a good meal. Miss Hayes has made those taking commercial subjects work, but they cer- tainly know their bookkeeeping, typing, shorthand, or, what have you? Miss Knapp has steady nerves and a cool head or she certainly would have been driven crazy teaching history to the Freshmen and keeping study-hall that trying fifth period. Not only has Mr. Byers endeavored to explain to the Freshmen why a b, but he has also furnished a musical background for all our classes. Miss Ernst certainly deserves a gold medal for hammering a bit of English into the heads of the Junior High boys. They have actually stopped saying I done. Last, but by no means least, we come to Miss Murphree. Not only has she done splendid work in her public speaking, but she has also been the guiding hand of the Senior class. As sponsor, she has helped us in all our ventures and especially in the Senior play and in the publishing of the Tiger. Mr. Reed, as Superintendent, and Mr. Roach, as Principal, have done their share in teaching us, as well as directing and advising the faculty. Every teacher has done commendable work and we are proud that we have such a faculty. V. W.
