] 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

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.

IMiss Eva Pal.mek, the heael eif the inatheiiiatics depaidmeiit, is jirohahly euie eif the best kueiwn ])ee)]de in the seheiol.

She is always ready to help the deserving ' , and tee i ' ive the unde¬ serving ' a eemsiderable shove in the right elirectiem. Tlmse who have not hael he ' r in class have inisseel a great oi)portunity. Miss Florexce A. Parker. Whatever would we do without iMiss Parker to guide us in our graduating difficulties and Yearbook decisions? Always ready to advise and counsel, iMiss Pai ' ker might be called the “Voice of Ex- ])erience’ ' for the Seniors. However, let it not he understood that JMiss Parker is all seriousness for there is a keen sense of humor hidden beneath her severity. i lRS. Genhuu) Nelson Parker, still better known as iMiss Nelson, is the cog in this great mechanism, the W. II. S., who for seven or eight years here, has been the main reason for the smooth running of the main motor, the office. Early last Fall the expected surprise was sprung and wedding bells rang on Columbus Day for her. Ve are sincere in wishing iNIrs. Nelson Parker all the success and pleasure in the futui ' e that we have had from her in the jiast. iMiss Lena Pearody. A remarkable dis])osition is self-evident in iMiss Peabody. This year, for the first time she has had all the biology classes under her wing. She enjoys teaching immensely, that is, if the class is not too un¬ manageable. Her ideal class would be that one which re(inired no discijdine, so that all the time might be spent in constructive discussion of biology. Students who elect biology as a snap course are soon disillusioned for iMiss Peabody knows it from A to E and teaches it accordingly. iMiss iMARiON Proctor. She is very tiny but in S])ite of that she is really an awe-insi)iring person. However, her jnpiils soon discover that beneath all that dignity she is amazingly friendly and great fun. She is a s]Mendid teacher and tlie tyi)ewriting and shorthand students learn (piickly and easily under her direction. Outside of school we understand that she enjoys both golf and skiing and is very proficient in both. Everyone knows lu ' r around school for hei- trim apiiearanee and her good looking clothes. iMiss Lillian Shea. Quiet, unassuming but very comjietent, iMiss Shea is the fair lady who jiresides in room 8 in the Wadleigh Puilding. She came to Winche.ster in the year when we, who are Seniors, were Freshmen. How¬ ever, if you remember rightly, we wei ' e in her classes for only a short ]ieriod of time. However, in that short time we learned an immense amount of English. Here’.s to iMiss Shea and long may she linger here! iMiis. Ella Stacy. Do ’ya wanna’ date? Mr.s. Stacy has plenty of them I ' anging from ().P .(’. to PKIT A.D.—and what she can tell you about tlu ' events happc ' iiing in that time! Wlu ' uever her black eyes begin to tlash and she gives a playful ])oke in the ribs, you know that you are in for some kidding. The best of it is, she can take it right back from you ! A grand si)ort, full of fun, and an excellent teacher, iMrs. Stacy is O.K. in cajntal letters.
