MR. WALTER HAECK Bend an ear, shutterbugs! Here, in the person of Haeck, are words for the unwise in f-stops, over- exposures, depth of field, and such puzzlers. Be- sides teaching photography, Mr. Haeck expounds the mysteries of pothooks in shorthand, goes to all the basketball games, and is fond father to a bevy of cute youngsters. MR. ARTHUR E. HAINES A popular sight at Bellevue is Mr. Haines in the greenhouse of his favorite class, botany. He also teaches zoology and biology, and coaches the oft- victorious track team. Summers he dons the uni- form of ranger-naturalist in Mount Rainier National Pork, conducts nature tours, and gets in a few climbs on his own. MR .STANLEY N. HALL A certain youthful biology-chemistry teacher, Mr. Hall, claims his favorite color is green, as in money. Next year he will go in search of green pastures, in the new high school, At home, says he, I take core of one wife, one son, one daugh- ter, and one favorite animal-chicken, fried golden brown! MRS. MARJORIE B. HANSLER Though kept busy by sewing classes, Loyalty Club advising, and assembly planning, Mrs. Hansler is always willing to listen and give a helping hand to a perplexed home ec student. ln summer she and her husband attend classes at the U. of W. They enioy fishing and sightseeing on the Olympic Pen- insula. MR. DONALD D. HANSLER Always eager to help sophomores with any prob- lem, big or little, Mr. Hansler has been a wonder- ful head social adviser for the class of l96l. The teaching of biology seems to fascinate him as much as the kids' problems do, and Bellevue will miss him when he moves to the new school next year. MISS MARTHA HARDY Hey, what's that floating around in 206? From out- side it looks like dozens of mobiles, but inside you see that it's also Miss Hardy, swishing around about six inches off the floor, trying to get things done in calculus, trig, advanced geometry, creative writing and annual. She pulls up now and then to tell some yarn about her tree farms. MR. GLEN W. HOLDEN Why, why, WHY?l So demands Mr. Holden in western thought, psychology, and U.S. history classes. Candidate for a Ph.D., this energetic man is also an outdoorsman, having spent several sum- mers as a fire lookout. His pet hue is blue, as in his Volkswagen bus, into which he tosses wife and children for many iaunts. MR. RICHARD D. JENKINS Developmental reading teacher, Mr. Jenkins, spends long hours in school and out on his passion-help- ing students improve their learning skill. He is as- sistant track coach, senior adviser, and U. of W. student. Kids who wear coats in class puzzle him -are they coming or going? His private gripe- no time to read. I4

MR. ARNOLD BIERMAN Assignment not done? Why? demands math in- structor, Mr. Bierman, who, though peeved at times by late lessons, approves of the Bellevue kids for their courtesy. His dream, as prospective coach in the new high school, is to lick Lake Washington. Retirement? he gasped, at that: Have to wait thirty-three years! l'm lust a babe in arms. MRS. LOUISE W. BROWN One of the wittiest newcomes to Bellevue is the iunior English teacher who was Miss Wicklund in September, but became Mrs. Brown about two months later. When relaxing from responsibility as iunior social adviser, she enjoys good books, TV, and observing the oddities of human psychology. MISS XENA CARMAN Room 157 ranks among the most interesting and best decorated in school. It is the room of iunior English teacher, Miss Carman, and is well known for its display of beautifully illustrated book re- ports. Miss Carman says her out-of-school ambi- tion is to learn to play her Christmas present, a Hammond electric organ. MR .JACK DALY Get your elbow out of my mouth, is a frequent lament of P.E. students enrolled in Mr. Daly's classes. Hailing from C.P.S., this brunette with a permanent wave takes great pride in the wrestling team, of which he is coach. As sophomore base- ball coach, he adds still more to his reputation for zeal in sports. MR. DONALD DISTAD Well, here we go to take part in the pagan festi- val, lpep assemblyj says Mr. Distad, whose love for teaching U.S. and world history does not quite include such world-shaking events as a two-bits contest. Oddly this wise man is puzzled by people who fall ill iust before one of his easy essay exams. MR. MARVIN L. DURHAM The best way to insure a successful day is to start off smiling in the morning. This is the philosophy of iunior counselor, Mr. Durham, who practices what he preaches and radiates good will all day long. Well, we'll buy that recipe, but have our doubts about his yen for pompona en papel -o Mexican fish cooked in paper. MR. EDWARD EKSTEDT Let's not go hog wild here, begs Mr. Ekstedt of his classes. A proud new father, he claims that next to his love for his child and his lab of inoculating students with history and economics, comes his love for Hungarian wormhounds. As a Spades ad- viser, he inspires the Bellevue social service crusade for spastics. This summer he plains to take a bus- man's holiday and finish his book of satire on high schools. MRS. DIANTHA FOWLER: Mrs. Fowler, librarian, says she yearns to learn how to play a flute, so she can go home in the evening and tootle out temper over people who don't re- turn library books. As assistant sponsor of Honor Society, she has another keeping track of lob- for people's points for the longedefor pins. 13 2. 21. lifzl . Q i , i I ig 2 Wim

MISS THELMA JENSEN Those crazy teenagers, might cry an outraged taxpayer visiting Bellevue High, upon hearing the roar ofa '58 M.G. zooming into the parking lot. But the initiated know that the teenager is Miss Jensen, geometry teacher. This surprising mathe- matician likes to muse, lt's a well-known fact that when one's gloves touch mud, it's not the mud that gets glovy. MR. JOHN V, JOHNSON Scrambling up and down an Everest of newspapers for gems of news for contemp and U.S. history students is the iob of this cheerful newcomer to Bellevue. Between classes, Mr. Johnson flips the pages to Pogo and Peanuts. A dedicated iaunter, he plans schooling this summer possibly in France. Meanwhile, he, Pogo and Peanuts listen to hi-ti in the evenings, no women allowed! MR. J. LOWELL JONES Thin face breaking into a wide grin, Mr. Jones, drafting teacher, lightens the mood of everyone he passes in the hall. Asked about his lucky number he replied, The little symbol above the 4 on the typewriter, -the S sign! He is a fishing fan, which fact ties up with his taste for the whole outdoors. MR. LEONARD JONES Producing good drivers and football teams keeps a certain cheerful Bellevue eight-year veteran busy. Mr. Jones also bosses iunior varsity basketball and Letterman's Club. In summer he enjoys sports on his own-water skiing and golf. His passive exercise is Maverick. Maybe that tough western stuff toughens his nerves for driver's ed. fit MRS. MARY JEAN KEWLEY Her firm, gentle air of knowing exactly what is best for her Latin classes makes Mrs. Kewley deeply re- spected and liked by her students. Escaping the clutches of Caesar and Virgil when school's out, she seeks the refuge of home, husband and gar- den. She knits a mean stitch too-perhaps on long-iohns for her two pet dachshunds. MR. WILLIAM LAMONT Exchange student proiects and completing his do-it- yourself home, take up the free time iscantyl of one of Bellevue's most intense pedagogues, Mr. La- mont. His energies are focused on senior English, humanities, and teacher training. He's a thin man, but not a molecule of him misses a minute of living. MISS DONNA LEER Some fine day, Miss Leer, diminutive and dainty senior counselor, may be seen looting at an exclu- sive ski resort-after she has earned her master's degree. Having attended several schools, includ- ing one in Mexico, Miss Leer most fondly recalls her cheerleading days at W.S.C. She is adviser of the Wolverine cheer and song leaders. MR. RAYMOND G. LINCOLN From student at Lake Washington to baseball and sophomore basketball coach at Bellevue-who'd have thought? Mr. Lincoln did. He did it, too, and daily takes even worse risks as drivers' ed instruc- tor. His plans for his summer include a nice safe spell of loafing in Bermuda. ln the shorts too, we wonder?
