He has been very helpful in the sports program this year, and if it weren't for his width, he would be difficult to distinguish from the boys during basketball practice. EUGENE R.

BERNICE L. ARMSTRONG Math Miss Armstrong, a graduate of Central Connecticut State College, is Wheeler High School's math department. A sports enthusiast also, she referees the girls' basketball games with a shoe-string tied whistle and in a green plaid suit. Is that foul on red or maroon, Miss Armstrong? She is well-liked by all her students and has a fine sense of humor-even appreciates her seniors' hunting a-pothems during class. No one can fill Miss Armstrong's shoes! CARL R. CECCHINI Industrial Arts Mr. Cecchini came to our school this year from the Far West where he studied at the University of California and received a B.A. degree in education. Almost every day one can see Mr. C. coming from his shop-room with sawdust covering his head, resolving that in the future the last class of boys will clean up their own mess.
