English MR. MARION SLOAN MRS. LUCILE NOLEN MISS EVELYN ENGELKE Page 14 MISS RUTH LOVELESS English plays a very special part in everyone’s life and our school has very competent staff of English teachers. Miss Ruth Loveless, a graduate of F.S.U. and Duke University, is the assistant director in charge of this important staff. Seniors give much credit to Miss Loveless for the foundation in English that they receive, so necessary for the college work they plan to do in the Fall. The Senior class as a whole owes a great deal to her because she directs the graduation exercises, advises Senior class officers, and helps with many other Senior activities. Mr. Marion Sloan is beloved by the entire student body, for he is considerate and friendly to all with whom he comes in contact. His pet saying, as anyone can tell you, is “Now, Children.” He teaches Junior English and two classes of Creative Writing. Mr. Sloan attended Vanderbilt and has been on the faculty of Winter Haven High for six years. When a student of Winter Haven High School reaches the status of Junior he comes into contact with Mrs. Peck, who shows her great patience and understanding through her work as faculty sponsor of the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. Mrs. Peck teaches English and is faculty sponsor of the Senior Sub Deb. Two other outside interests are dramatics and music, subjects in which she majored at F.S.U. Mrs. Connor, a fine violinist and a member of the Winter Haven Pops Orchestra, is a tenth grade English teacher of Winter Haven High School. This year she has taken over the sponsorship of the newly organized girls’ club, Tri-Hi-Y. She is a graduate of F.S.U. where she received an A.B. degree. Mrs. Nolen is faculty sponsor for the “A” and “B” squad cheerleaders. This year she is also faculty advisor of club council, and she directed the college day program in the Fall. Mrs. Nolen, graduate of Georgia State College, teaches five periods of tenth grade English, and for outside enjoyment she finds great pleasure in sewing for her daughter, Nancy. One year ago a new member was added to the faculty. Miss Evelyn Engelke, a graduate of F.S.U., teaches Junior English and Speech. Her majors in college were Dramatics, English and Spanish. This year she has given her time to direct the Junior and Senior class plays.

Mrs. Dillard sponsors the Latin Club and enjoys art very much. Mr. Padgett is well known to almost every student in the Winter Haven High School for he is the attendance director of the school.
