Mr. Johnson and Mr. Niswonger watch Mr. Mann prepare to tee off on their regular Tuesday afternoon golf game. “Watching football games sure works up an appetite,” says Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. Baur, as they brave the rain at the Dade City game. The Faculty Miss Randolph's painting shows she has other talents than that of Home Ec. teaching. i Our faculty has been teaching in Winter Haven for 388 years—collectively, of course. They are outnumbered 24 to 1 by the students (1200-50), but this doesn’t faze them; they came from eighteen states and the Panama Canal Zone just to teach in Winter Haven. Florida, being local, has ten representatives, and Ohio comes next with five; Georgia, with four, is followed closely by Indiana, Tennessee, New York, and North Carolina, with three each. The Panama Canal is the farthest away of our teacher’s birthplaces, and only four teachers come from states west of the Mississippi: Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri. A versatile bunch, the faculty has hobbies that range from spelunking (cave exploring) to coin-collect- ing to conversation. They like to eat anything from Moo- goo-gai-pan to strawberry shortcake; and steak: broiled, fried, or barbecued, is an overwhelming favorite with nineteen of the teachers being steak addicts. Twenty-eight teachers have B.S. degrees, nineteen have B.A.’s and thirteen have their masters’ degrees, which they have acquired from colleges in nineteen states.
