MIss FRANCES G. ALLIsoN. Small? Yes. Charming? Yes. Interesting? You said it! That's Miss Allison. She can tell you an interesting story about that romantic language and the countries in which it is spoken. She has also a wide knowledge of many varied subjects. If anything is troubling you, no one could assist you better than Miss Allison. Her size doesn't make any difference in her afbility to control a large class. She can handle anything! MIss MARION W. BAILEY. Miss Bailey is a dynamic personality who has given verve and enthusiasm not only to the many Dramatic 'Society undertak- ings, but to everything with which she comes in contact. The freshman year is a transition period and Miss Bailey, as well as every other teacher in the Wad- leigh Building, knows that its benefit is in acting as a rigorous formative period which catapults the Freshmen into their upperclass years. All of that was on an impersonal basis, but even after the Freshman year, students came under her influence through her dramatic supervision and her choral speech groups. When everyone was in the main building, Miss Bailey had even a greater influence through her actual directions of the class play and the various Dramatic Society productions. MR. EDWARD A. BARTLETT. Versatile Mr. Bartlett has certainly shown his ability in the W. H. S. in more ways than one. He begins in the fall of the year as the assistant football coach, in the winter he be-comes the basketball coach, and in the spring he narrowly dodges the draft. Between these he even umpires baseball or referees football occasionally. When he isn't engaged in one of the foregoing activities, he teaches bookkeeping to the commercial students. Mlss RUTH BENNETT. To try to describe Miss Bennett is similar to an at- tempt to paint a lovely picture. One cannot catch in Words or colors, a charming personality such as hers. Miss Bennett is one of the finest and most likeable tea- chers in Winchester High. Aside from her attractive appearance and winning smile, she possesses those characteristics which most effectively promote lasting friendships. MIss HELEN BRONSON. Arlington-home of Toll House cookies and Miss Bronson-Winchester High thanks you. Miss Bronson that very attractive person with the pretty clothes who does such a grand job of heading our Com- mercial Department. Her patience, friendliness, fairness, and delightful sense of humor have mad-e her one of the best liked teachers in school. If you don 't take our Word for it, just ask any of the commercial students who have been in her classes, one and all will agree that Miss Bronson is tops MR. BROWN. Mr. Brown is that talented and handsome man who came to us at the middle of the year to take over the instruction of the orchestra. His abili- ty to conduct, his charming personality, and his sense of humor made him very popular with all who came in contact with him. All his qualities make us wish that his job were one that would bring him here more than once a. week. MR. ARTHUR E. BUTTERS. Mr. Butters, through rec-ognition of his ability in mathematics, was recently made the head of the VVinchestcr High math depart- ment. ?In his spare time outside of school he participates in and exceeds many of his companions in various sports. He is known to Winchester as being out- standing in barnyard golf. The Junior-Senior prom, of which he is a faculty adviser, is made more successful and entertaining through his guidance.
