FUHEIE LANGUAGE All that the language teachers want to know is why they try to teach us Spanish, French, German, or Latin when we can't even speak English. It someone comes up to you and starts saying one big jumble of words you can't understand, it's only a language teacher. li you ever talk with a person who can't speak English very well, don't let it worry you. It's just a language teacher. Oh well, they do try hard to teach us another language. ! Y T' se BOTTOM ROW: Miss Freeland, Miss Watts, Mrs. Olsen.

SUE EE The Science Building is full of people who think they are scientists. They try to teach the poor students every- thing from Everyday Science to physics. While teach- ing, some of the teachers go so far as to sit on top of their desks with their legs crossed.Our distinguished professors! They have lots ot fun mixing things in the lab. Oi course, there is an occasional explosion in the Science Building. lt the science teachers blow down the school, they won't have to teach. Theres a method in their madness. MATHEMATICS Oh, how can they be so cruel! 2 plus 2 equals 5. No? How can they expect the students to learn such complicated things. The math teachers find that alge- bra and geometry aren't too hard to teach Ceven it we don't like the subjectsj, but after working with trig, Algebra Il, or Solid Geometry, the teachers find they can't even remember how to add and subtract, There's no way out unless they are able to teach Math I, If your math teacher looks as if he has numbers floating around in his head, don't worry. It's natural. BOTTOM ROWz Miss Root, Miss F. King, Mr. Bailey, Mr, Williams, Mr. Holmes, SECOND ROW: Mr. Claxton, Mrs. Pattillo, Mr. Tebbs, Mr. Hemmerling, Mr, I. Robinson, Mr. Krause, Mr. Bristol,

SENTUH PHUBLEMS ANU E ELISH Seniors are problems, the Senior Problems teach- ers will tell you. The thought ot going out into the world seems to do something to the students. They're always out of class for some reason or other, and these poor teachers just can't keep track of them. The department consisting of civics, family rela- tions, and psychology was supervised this year by Bob Wolstoncroft. Senior Problems is probably one of the most interesting subjects in Whittier High. The professors have managed to live through an- other year of teaching seniors and we want them all back again.

BUY5'5PURT5 These are the men who really have lots to do. They not only have gym classes during the day but sports after school, Many oi them teach classes in subjects other than sports. The boys' physical edu- cation teachers also instruct classes in subjects such as first aid. They do not, however, teach home nurs- ing. This just isn't a course for boys. Whittier is privileged to have a large variety of sports. The boys here are able to learn tennis, wrestling, golf, and swimming, sports which are not available in many other high schools. This gives the men a lot to do but it is worth it. ElHL5'SPUHTS This is the glamour department of our school. All that these people do is sport bathing suits and the newest styles in shorts and blouses. What a life! Actually it isn't quite that easy. Strangely enough the students just cannot concentrate during gym, and the teachers can't make them understand that the ball goes over the net, not under. But sports aren't all. The freshman and sophomore girls are taught physiology, the juniors, first aidg and the seniors, home nursing. Our Physical Education teachers get mental exercise as well as physical. lil BOTTOM ROW: Mr. Waer, Mr. Hobson, Mr. Phelan, Mr. Holloway, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Mele, Mr. N Robinson.

This is the type of question that is heard by the teachers in the Commercial Department. The Commerce Building always sounds a little noisy with the typewriters, the music to type to, and the office machines going at full speed, It's sur- prising how anyone can work in such confusion. With almost one-half of our student body taking classes in this department, the commerce teachers really have a big and hard job. THEEDUM WITH THE ELEETI ES I TIUSTHIAL A D HUMEMAHI E ARTS The teachers in lohn Muir have no reason to corn- plain. They don't have very far to walk. The people who have classes in the bungalows and the shops are the ones who really get the exercise. Classes in cook- ing and sewing are taught in the lohn Muir basement and in the bungalows. These teachers get their clothes made and their meals cooked by the students, Across the street in the shops, Architectural Drawing, Auto Mechanics, agriculture, and many more subjects are taught. This is indeed a busy department, H'-bitten wi BOTTOM ROW: Mrs. Korf, Mrs. Grassel, Miss Groh, Miss Russell.

One of the main jobs of this department is to do extra work, plays must be presented and social functions publicized. This calls for lots of work after school. Beside drama and art, the orchestra and band must play at various events on and off campus, and the C6-W and annual must be printed. With the classroom and outside work com- bined, the teachers in the Fine Arts Department are kept extremely busy.
