Other orcliestra.s have also lieen fortunate enoup;h to have him as direetor. Jxumor says tliat there is soon to he a Mrs. Delzelle. May he eariy on his fine woi ' k here in the future! Mr. hxAL ({. (tOoi). lietter known as “Coaeli to tlie hoys, is that new 1( ' aeher down at Vadl(‘i” ' h who has the flashy smile (and ties!). Stei)])ing in to ratluu- a hard place, his cheerful way with all, soon made him a favorite. Put at dualcontrols, he teaches the freshies both Aly-ehra and Oeneral Science, while he s])ends his afternoons coachiu ' football and baseball. When all is said and done, he of the Al -eraic eiiuations is really ])opular, but who is there to wonder at it? iMR. Samuel i I. Oraves. Ajicient history is his subject and under his clever ' uidauce the freshmen seem to absoid) a large amount of it. Ilowewer ve siispc ' ct that the ])art of the period that both the ])ui)ils and i Ir. Graves himself eiijoy most is the time ])ut in heatedly discussing politics. Outside of school we know him as a most successful actor, often seen in the productions of the “Little Theatre Beneath the Spire.” The oidy objection most of ns have to him is his most uu])leasant habit of giving daily ({uizzes. i lR. Wade L. Grindle. Humorous, friendly and an understanding leader, he is genuinely intei ' ested in school activities and individual achievements. Num- bei ' ing among his sports are badminton, and mountain climbing, with a flashy game of ])ing-])ong in his brief leisure moments, lie has jn-oven himself an apt si)eaker at iumiinei-able assemblies and is regarded as one of the school’s most versatile actors. IMr. Grindle is distinctly a fine man to fill his all-importaiiL ])osition of princi])al. iMiss ERNE Hale. A new teacher came to us this year and we w ' cre very agreeably surj)rised. Though quiet and unassuming, she has made her presence felt to both students and fellow teachers. Even if she didn’t have much chance to prove her ability because of the lack of sno v this winter, we know she made a w ' illing and much-liked faculty advisor of the Girls’ Ski Club. IMr. Raymond Hayw ard is that -wit su])reme who thought up a large ])ercent of the gags used in tlie Vandeville Show. AVhenever someone waiits a humorous title, a good story, or skit, IMr. Hayward always comes through w’ith the best. Have you ever w ' atched him make dimes disai)pear right under your eyes? Or i)erhaps we should say, try to watch? IMr. Hayward is that liard-working individual who directs the difficult job of getting out the A. A. Season Tickets in the Fall, and a mighty good jol) he does of it, too. IMr. Robert i l. Keeney. “Hence, loathed IMelancholy!” For that is just w hat ha])})ens w ' hen you enter a class of IMr. Keeney’s. You may expect to be called by any name but your own during this ])eriod, and, strangely enough, enjoy it immensely. The names of Bob, Bill, Dick, etc. are all just Julius (])ronounced yul-yus) or some other such thing to him. IMr. Keeney has a knack of bringing to life the long dead but not forgotten (much to the disgust of many of us) Johnson, Keats, Shelley, etc. Described in modern language and ex])lained in Mr. Keeney’s ow n inimitable style, they seem like all right people! IMiss Inez Keli.er. That bright-eyed teacher who comes to school in a grey “Chewy” every .Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, is Haverhill’s gift to the faculty of Winchester High. She is the teachei ' of Arts and Crafts, a new course in school this year. Her hobby is all kinds of handicraft. Long after school hoin-s she can be found ui-) in the art room trying out new ideas on crafts. She spends her summers down in Maine, teaching metal craft to Canq) girls.

Mr. Edward Bartlett. “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?” Ill Room 14 would be the answer if anyone should ask! The envy of all the boys, admired by all the girls and liked by teacher and student, Mr. Bartlett has made a name for himself in many ways since his arrival in the Winchester High School in ’33. Besides being the assistant coach in the boys’ sports, he is also an accom¬ plished actor as we may recall from the preview of the Junior-Senior (bass Play, “Mania’s Affair’’. Miss Ruth Bennett. “The quick brown fox jumjied over the lazy dog”. If we were to invade Room 10 in the middle of some busy period, we might find a class of busy future stenographers carefully fingering out this odd sentence under the direction of Miss Bennett. This charming lady not only turns out expert typists but is the faculty advisor of the business end of the “Highlights”. LInderneath all this responsibility and seriousness there is a live ly bit of humor. Did you ever see such a contagious smile? And those dimples! Miss Helen Bronson is a living examiile of “How To Do Many Things at Once and Do Them Wdl”. Always on the go, Miss Bronson seems to be every¬ where at once. As head of the Commercial Department of the High School, she is on call for any typing, mimeographing, etc., that anyone and everyone finds for her to do. She never seems to get tired and always has a ready smile for your request. Mr. Arthur E. Butters is one of the most jiopular members of the faculty. A wizard at any kind of mathematics, he can place geometric figures on the blackboard in such a manner as to cause dismay among all his geometry students. However, math is not his only interest, for golf is a favorite pastime. He shoots in the eighties, a score of which many would be proud to be able to boost. Here in school, he is the hard-working class advisor for the Juniors and what would we ever do without his help on the Prom Committee! Miss Gertrude Carmichael. “Freshies, ” we hope you realize what a friend you have in Miss Carmichael. Always ready to help and counsel, she does much toward starting you off on the right path in your High School Career. At the first thought you may think her a wee bit stern, but you will soon discover a lively sense of humor, and say to yourselves—“She’s all right!” Mrs. Estelle Coffin is the very efficient mistress of Room 7 in the Wad- leigh. Perhaps few in the main building would know her since she is new this year, but to those who are in her mathematics and current history classes she is help supreme. Before coming to Winchester, she lived in Newton. She has also lived in Indiana and taught in a suburb of Chicago. Her hobbies are books and horseback riding. She has a remarkable library consisting of several hundred volumes. ] Ir. Dana Cotton is the man of a thousand friends. Wherever he goes, Mr. Cotton wins the friendship of all who meet him. Interested in everything, and es})ecially horses, Mr. Cotton has made a place for himself in the liearts of all. Faculty advisor of the Traffic Squad, he has done a remarkable job maintaining peace and quiet in the corridors between periods. In our estima¬ tion, he is just about tops! ] Ir. Frederick Delzelle. A master of the baton, Mr. Delzelle’s skillful guidance has improved the orchestra 100 percent. For the last few years the orchestra has existed in name only, but now we have the real thing. He has studied abroad and has also attended the New England Conserv atory of iMusic.

] riss Hazel Kingsley is a coinjiarative strang-er to most of iis, lint those who do knoY’ her have many eomi)limentary tilings to say alioiit hei-. Vs yon pi ' ohably know, she presides over the Art Department of all the Winehester sehools, and graves onr fair sehool with her prescmee several times a week. In spite of this big job, i Iiss Kingsley ahvays has a smile and a eheery word for eveiyone. iMiss Ethel Knowlton is the possessor of that sunny disposition and eheery “Eonjour, IMademoiselle oii JMonsieur’Even if you haven’t taken Ereneh and you don ' t know what she is talking about when she reels off in that language, you ean understand her radiant smile. Were it n ot for iMiss Knowlton’s expert management of the business and advertising end of the Junior-Senior (’lass Play, the elass treasuries would not have so much to offer for the exjienses of the Prom and Year Book. JMr. (3tis Leary is another teacher of Y ' hom we wish we could see more. Reign¬ ing supreme at the Junior High School, we rarely see him for any length of time. Instructor of IManual Training, he is the guide of our carpenters. Under his guidance and insiiiration many boys have made Kyaks vdiich have brought them many hours of enjoyment during the summer. Not only is he proficient at making things out of wood, but he is also an expert at })ing-pong, badminton and bowling. IMiss Mary IMackedon. In her classes French becomes so simple that it really amazes her pupils to discover hoY much they have unconciously learned. She has a wonderful sense of humor and is so human that she is far from being just “un autre professeur”. But don’t be misled into believing that one gets away Yuth anything. Those who neglect their French soon find themselves spending the seventh period in Room 22. To almost everybody the French jieriod is one of the pleasantest of the day. Mr. Wendell Doolittle Mansfield. Since B)25 IMr. Mansfield has been engaged in directing the fortunes of our various athletic teams. His formal title, if you please, is, The Director of Physical Education, but everyone knows him and addresses him as “Coach”. The result of his coaching have been many teams which carried the Red and Black through strenuous campaigns to championship honors. He is always seeking to increase his alread}’ vast and sound knowledge of sports, traveling freipiently and reading avidly in (piest of this pur})ose. The success of the Ahiu-Devil Shows have been due in a large part to his able supervision. As for his oyui athletic background outsiile of college competition he played professional football and basketball and is a con¬ sistently fine golfer. Mr. Thomas L. Maynard. The faculty of W. H. S. acipiired a big addition last fall in 6 ft. 6 in., 215 pound Mr. Tom Maynard. The school was ([uite shocked, one Thursday morning, to find that this epitome of masculine health was in the hosjntal; but we felt a little better when we discovered that the doctor had removed from him the bigge.st ap])endix that had ever been brought forth at that hosjutal. Mr. IMaynard came to us from Rumford, Alaine, where he coaehed a cham])ionship track team and a one-act play that was very successful in interstate competition. AVe have witnessed examples of his successful iilays and will look for exceptional seasons with our track sipiads. Aliss E. Gl. ' Vdys Niven. AA hat a catastrojihe it Avouhl be if Aliss Niven aud her ca]iable force Y ere to go on a sit-doYui strike and refuse to serve lunch ! But we knoAv this Avoiild never happen, for Aliss Niven always has
