Among the minor sports, swimming is one of the most interesting. Our tank team, managed by lvarren Burger, began work at the Y. M. C. A. tank Novembeurgi. The outlook was promising with such men as Captain Lyman Hansen, last year's second best Northwest Champion diver, Edgar Honebrink, and Karl Johnson, all- eity men, on the team. Karl Johnson is a wonderful plunger. MECHANIC ARTS The season opened with a 54 to 141 defeat by Mechanic Arts. Larson's and J0hnson's absences caused by illness were keenly felt. The Blue and White had great strength in the plunges and dashes. A thrill was presented when Lang, of Johnson sprinted beautifully and won the 100 yard free style by a fair distance ahead of his second opponent. Page 75 l il ll ll, ill

Miss Hain I'm from Missouri, said Miss Haing but indeed she'll have to show us, for instead of our having to explain to Miss Hain, she is explaining at Johnson every day in the gymnasium and arithmetic classes. Although Miss Hain was born in Missouri, she has spent the last few years in Minnesota. After graduating from St. Louis Normal she taught in St. Louis for two years. Then she came to the Minnesota University where she received a B. A. degree. The accuracy shown by Miss Hain in the gym is probably due to her experience in teaching mathematics in Valley City, Xorth Dakota. From Valley City she came to St. Paul to take charge,- of the Margaret Street Playgrounds. Here many of the Johnson children learned to know and like her. VVhile at the playgrounds she organized a Girl Scout troop, which is still quite active. Two years ago she came to Johnson where her influence is felt through her ever ready helpfulness and her interest in student activities. Miss Moench Mrs. Hugo Sehlenk nee' Moeneh who was the girls' gymnasium teacher the last two years at Johnson High School is at present at her home on Fairmount Avenue where she is playing the role of home-maker very successfully. She has been a substitute at Central High occasionally and also took the place of Miss Andrews at Johnson High School when the latter was ill. In between times she still plays golf and tennis. lVhile Mrs. Schlenk was at Johnson, she taught English and gymnasium. She was the first teacher in a number of years to organize the Girls' Athletic Association. Besides her teaching, she took an interest in dancing, girls' basket-ball, girls' volley ball, and baseball. Every one respected and admired her both as a teacher and friend. She promoted a spirit of good fellowship between the students and the teachers. She made many friends while at Johnson High, and is missed by all the students and faculty members. Page 77
