£5r ••••■ ------(f Q OVV MR. ALEXANDER—A. B., A. M. University of Illinois. Here’s to Mr. Alexander, may he long live to enjoy health, happiness, and prosperity. We, the class of ’26, hope that the choicest of blessings be his, for we owe him a great debt of gratitude. He has helped us through four years of trials and tribulations, has pardoned our faults, and praised our virtues. He has displayed patience and tact, but above all, wisdom, not only wisdom in books, but wisdom in human nature and the little things of life—a wisdom possessed by few. We, the class of ’26, hope that we may justify his faith in us and do credit to his teachings. We hope that, before his successful career has terminated, he will have one brilliant Physics t’ass, just one; for we feel that it would be the last touch of perfection, the crowning jewel of his many achievements. So now we bid him our last good-bye. We shall miss him greatly and always think of him with affection. We hope that in the years to come he will have just cause to remember with pride the class of ’26. —B. G. ’26. MISS TAYLOR, A. B. University of Illinois. We, the class of ’26, feel that Miss Taylor deserves not a little praise for her more than heroic efforts in teaching the Freshies that x p’us y doesn’t equal z, and that positive and negative numbers are altogether different. She also deserves much praise for teaching the Sophs the difference between a chinchbug and a spider, and how to distinguish a dandelion from a violet. She is the kind of teacher that is liked by veryone, and has won a friendly place in the hearts of us all. —M. H. ’26. MR. DUNSCOMB, B. S. Washington University. He is coach and teacher of Commerical subjects in W. C. H. S. His appearance is one that appeals to everyone—even the ladies. He never has a harsh word for anyone, yet his word is law. He is one of the best liked instructors, a good friend, and in fact, an all around good fellow—that’s Jobey. —G. R. ’26. MR. READY, B. S. Indiana State Normal. We, the class of ’26, deem it our duty, before leaving W. C. H. S., io give our able History and Civics teacher his due praise. Sometimes we think he is harsh with us, but what would we do if we were he? He is al ways willing and never too busy to explain anything we ask. He always gives us an opportunity to ask questions every day before class. We hope that sometime before he closes his teaching career, he will succeed in finding an ideal History and Civics class. —R. S. ’26. TOowa==== i» ■■ mmmt MISS HARTMAN Indiana Normal. The Senior class of ’26 would like to say a word for Miss Hartman. We feel that her teachings have not been in vain. We think that the members of the Sewing class have been convinced that fishworms and silkworms are not quite the same thing; and as for the members of the Cooking class, we believe that they will now be able to win their husbands through their culinary art. M iss Hartman was our Freshman and Sophcmore class advisor, and we wish to thank her for the help she has given us during that time. It is being whispered that the Junior class is expecting to give the Senior class of ’26 a banquet and Miss Hartman is to be the manager of it. We certainly wish her the best of success. —I. S. ’26. MRS. DUNN, B. A. University of Illinois. Miss Katherine Burd came to us this term as a member of the faculty. Everyone fell in love with her. As a teacher, she is a good friend of the W. C. H. S. members. Boys and girls are at her door morning and noon, for they love her smile and sunny disposition. Miss Burd gave us quite a shock when she Returned after the Christmas vacation as Mrs. llcn Dunn, but the storm soon blew over. To the Sophomores, Mrs. Dunn teaches Modern History. She is preparing the Seniors to become business managers by teaching them Shorthand and Typewriting. Public Speaking is also a subject taught, and I hear the Public Speaking class has achieved great wonders. Probably some day, in her old age, she may hear her students give great orations. Mrs. Dunn is a prominent member of the Orchestra. We, the Seniors of ’26, heartily wish her happiness and success in the future. —L. R. ’26. MfSS GUSTAFSON, A. B. University of Illinois. “Really and truly, now, don’t you think that the Mathematics teacher is the most popular teacher that we ever had’’? This question was asked me by a very influential and unmarried business man. My answer was prompt and affirmative. The class of ’26 declare that she is their favorite. (Probably a few girls would make exceptions to this declaration.) The reason is obvious. She was our Freshmen class advisor and at all times was very considerate of our shortcomings. Ever since then, she has been the Senior class advisor—no doubt because the Seniors get first choice. We, the class of ’26, leave the dear old school forever, but we take with us many pleasant memories, and the most prominent of these is the memory of that girlish figure which brightened the stern and grim Monster—The Faculty. —H. C. ’26. (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIXTEEN) 1020 Eight
