ality which no student can resist or withstand - that's how we think of Miss Parker. But when we see her we also think of her as one teacher who is absolutely fair and imp-artial to all, who makes her classes live with interest and entertainment, and who is liked by every student for the pure and simple reason that we know she is our friend. Miss LENNA PEABODY. Behold! the most universally liked and admired lady in school and the model of what the ideal teacher should be! Miss Peabody, take a bow! Limitless patience combined with a charming personality, a great sense of fairness, mixed with willingness to always give a student benefit of th-e doubt, and an extensive knowledge of Science in every form are her main characteristics, however, she is also noted for a lovely speaking and singing voice, rare culinary talent Cthe class of '36 discovered her prize Shrimp-a-la-king D and her extraordinary sense of humor. Miss MARJAN Pnooroa, of the slim, trim figure, the pretty blue eyes, the smoothie clothes, and the generally school-girlish appearance, is Winchester's greatest and most indefatigable ski enthusiast,- broken bones mean nothing to her when winter comes and the long white trails of N. H. beckon entic- ingly. In school she is strict only when necessary, always patient - even with the authors of the world's most undecipherable shorthand, and ever ready to give a student a break - to be brief, we won't forget our tiny Red Cross advisor soon. Mas. ELLA STACY. The well-dressed lady with the flashing black eyes, the playful disposition and the bountiful knowledge of History is none other than Mrs. Stacy the iiirtatious friend of every member of the graduating class. Our Prom and the Thrift Amociation both have become promginent under her capable hands for not only is she an energetic worker, but she also makes every enterprise interesting and fun with her merry Sense of humor and deep understanding of students. She's a teacher who is a teacher! Ma. JOHN D. STEVENS. Suave, debonair, sophisticated and cool, the staunch advocate of progressive English courses, and :increasingly pefppy athletics - the cultivated, cultured, well-groomed gentleman from.Vermont - the 'blushing bridegroom of the current year - here's Mr. -Stevens CJ. D. to youll. This young man is a gent of superlatives, for he walks away with the prize not only for being the most original teacher, and having the most hilarious classes, but also is termed by Juniors leaving his course as the best guy in the school. MR. J. ALBERT WILSON. Dapper and debonair, Mr. Wilson is the calm conductor of our choristers and the super-superb singer of songs in Winchester High School. He is witty and intelligent, but more than that, he is a good friend to all the students and he will be remembered as such after we grad- uate. As every other class has, we thank Mr. Wils'oin for all he has done for us. Miss RosAMoND YoUNo. Since graduating from Bouve, our pretty athletics coach has been leading members of the male sex a merry chase all over the map, but at last Calaslj an alert young man has caught up with her, and she is leaving Winchester High lS4chool to marry and settle down. Miss Young entered school with our class and in four years has not only developed outstanding championship teams but also has brought a fine sense of sports-- manship to all our squads. Her petite figure and winning personality together with her peppy talks of skiing conditions in N. H. will be missed by every- one next year.

, rw- We f V--1 7' -W If ff 41 ' I I O U well-dressed girl who has charm all her own and a lovely personality. Ex- tremely profficient in her difficult work of managing the office, listening to students tales of woe, and numerous other jobs all at once Miss Lawson is our idea of the perfect young lady. MR. Oris LEARY. Most of Mr. Leary's spare time is spent in the Junior High where his work necessarily keeps him busy. yet he is liked and respected 7 by every member of the High School - especially the boys who have become proficient in woodworking and mechanical drawing under his skilled direction. There is only one way to describe Mr. Leary - a good sport - when that is said, all is said. Miss MARY MAGKEDON. 'tWhy take life seriously? You never get out of ,it alivei' asks this trim, charming, and frightfully popular professor with the twinkling eyes and infectious giggle, who makes our French class the most interesting and entertaining period of the day. Miss Mackedons at- traction extends outside of school to such an extent that students beco-me close friends of hers after graduation, and there is hardly a fellow in school now who doesn't know her telephone number. To summarize her we might call her an excellent teacher, a strict but not too strict Htaisez-vouser and the possessor of the plus nicest personality in Winchester. MR. KENNETH MEINKI9. The underclassmen say hels simply wonderful, the actors who have met him in connection with the play think hefs superb, and the athletes who have come .in contact with his dynamic personality in Ping- Pong pronounce him o.k', - So we gather he's slightly supldr-colossal. Mr. Meinke came to us this year and already has made a name for himself by leading the annual play to a successful finish, by starting a table 'tennis clu'b and simply by making Latin Cof all thingsj particularly interesting to his students. To be brief, all we can say is that we wish he 'd come a little sooner. Miss GLADYS E. NIVEN. The supreme guiding hand behind the excellent lunches which are served to us every day, and the capable brain which kee-ps the cafeteria running smoothly, makes personality classes so vitally inter- esting, both belong to the one-, the only, the original Miss Niven. This member of the faculty has a wonderfully even disposition, always having a ready smile and bright word for everyone, and ever possessing some new bit of interesting information to transmit to her eager class. Miss VIRGINIA R. OWEN. Undoubtedly the most popular room in the school in the library, and surely the ideal teacher to fit into this room is Miss Owen. Miss Owen of the sunny disposition, the friendly and helpful nature, and the ability, capability, and dependability which make up a good teacher. This pleasant librarian possesses bounteous knowledge both of books and of people, and her personality which is unsurpassed has made her popular with the faculty and students alike. Miss EVA PALMER is a person who always has a friendly greeting for everyone. It is a real pleasure to come back to school after being sick, for you are always met with kindness and sympathy when she gives you your admittance slip. Her classes are run in an informal and friendly way and in math period not math only is taught but English, geography, science, history, Greek, and Latin. When you have once been in her class, you are not forgotten afterward, but become one of her hosts of friends to be held in a special place in her heart. Besides her teaching she takes care of the attendance, keeps the records in the office, and is dean of the girls. When Winchester High loses Miss Palmer, it will lose more than ever can be replaced. Miss FLORENCE A. PARKER. The power behind the Senior Class activities, the modest lady with the grand sense of humor, and the possessor of a person-
