ur Instructors ] Ir. Bertra iI Aluro. Pag ' es of Avhat would seem to tlie uninitiated merely a jumble of ({iieer words with long marks over some of the vowels eonie to life under the ex])ert uidauee of Air. Albro and his wise-eraeks. There is never a dull moment in his classes for i Ir. Albro has a refreshing ' sense of humor which keeps bis pujuls on the mark. IMr. Otis Alley. Sometimes we wonder if IMr. Alley didn’t miss his calling for besides being an eminent scientist, he is thoroughly ac(jnainted with any snb- j(H ' t yon can name. Giv(m a topic and an unlimited amount of time, IMr. Alley could hold bis listener’s attention for hours on end with his interesting and little known facts about anything and everything. A willing and ca])able organ¬ izer of any job asked of him, IMr. Alley certainly is an all-i ' onnd good fellow. IMiss Frances G. Allison. Once again onr library has been ojiened for the general use of the school with IMiss Allison the capable and cheerful librarian. However, her duties in the library have not dimmed her enthnsiasni and love for the liomance Languages, for any one of her pupils can tell yon she certainly knows her S])anish ! IMiss IMarion Bailey is the jiretty effervescent lady Avho produces such re¬ markable ])lays via the Dramatic Society. In sjiite of the fact that IMiss Bailey has been more or less separated from the majoi ' ity of the student body this year, her jiersonality and charm havi ' kejit the Di-aniatic Sociidy as flourishing an activity as ever before. The academic year BO ' b-lfklT may long be remem¬ bered as the year when the Freshmen wiu ' e a body unto themselvi ' s and IMiss Bailey juit on ‘AVby the Chimes Bang”.

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.
