A lot of it is due to Miss Dorothy Van Driel who has been on the EHS staH for three years teaching general business, shorthand, and bookkeeping. Adding interest to her regular classes this year has been the successful basket- ball.and football season. Probably the most interesting two weeks of the year was Christmas vacation when she went to Chicago to attend the National Business Teacher's Association Convention. While in the East, she visited her sister in Milwaukee. Tall, blond, blue-eyed Mr. Keith Bloom joined the Evanston High School faculty in the fall of 1951 to coach the Bed Devils A and B squads and assist Mr. Talboom with the football squad. In addition to the long hours he spends on these activities, he teaches regular classes in physical education, ninth grade social studies and problems of democracy. Mr. Bloom is very modest about his career as a professional baseball player. He spent one year play- ing for the Canadian-American League, and one year for the Southwest International League in Arizona. ' The Latin, Spanish, and ninth grade English teacher is short, dark-haired Miss Lois Michelstetter. She sponsors the Spanish Club, Junior High cheerleaders, Bacerettes and is also co-sponsor of the Spotlight.
