The faculty And now, Hans, I would like to introduce you to the members of our faculty. Here we are at the door of Miss Helen Hughes (13), our math instructor. Besides teaching her regular classes and coaching debaters, Miss Hughes is busy every minute performing a wonderful service for her country by conduct- ing night classes for boys about to enter the service of our country. The next teacher I would like to have you meet is Miss Joyce Chubb (5) under whose patient and understanding manner the fresh- men and sophomores master verb forms, parts of speech, and sentence structure. Giving speeches with gestures and producing plays are among the activities of her speech class. Shakespeare, Bacon, Browning, Shelley, and Poe become friends of the juniors and sen- iors as Miss Elizabeth Mcllquham (10) reveals their personalities. Every second week her room becomes a beehive of activity as the Times staff completes the paper for publica- tion. It is also under her guidance that the True Blue Annual is published. Before you are in this school very long, Hans, you will learn how indispensable Miss Alice Engstrom (8) is to everyone in the build- ing. I have never known her to lose her patience in spite of the fact that several times each period someone disturbs her to ask for the glue, stapler, or use of the phone. You needn’t sail clear to Timbuktoo to learn about this old world; just come in and pay a visit to Miss Ann Murphy (18), and she will tell you more about this earth than you ever thought possible for any one person to know. She’s a whizz at geography! Under the guidance of Miss Harriet Gil- bert (7) the departmental students learn the parts of speech and grammar necessary for their high school career. Miss Gilbert also teaches spelling, reading, and penmanship. Miss Marie Flekke (12) acquaints the world and American history classes with all the important dates and events that have happened in the past. Besides learning the facts of history, her students learn the correct pronunciation of research, recess, allies, and finance. Besides her other activities, Miss Flekke directed the senior class play. If you have been trying to translate some foreign idiom, Hans, Miss Use Wolfsberg (1) is just the person you want to meet. She came here during the second week of school and has done an excellent job of teaching us Latin and Deutsch. Miss Ethel Mathews (6) can expertly explain every detail of school, city and federal government as she often proves in her social science classes. Her social problems students have studied the problems of advertising, per- sonality, and vocations so they are prepared to face the world. As adviser of the junior class, she spent many hours helping with the prom. You will learn many interesting facts about rocks, weather, electricity, elements, gases, and motors from Mr. Wilfred Heiting (16), our science instructor. Besides guiding his science and chemistry students through their various laboratory experiments, he has started an electrical course. Mr. Heiting also coaches boxing and intramural basketball. If you looked through one of Mr. Ronald Murray’s (11) microscopes, you would probably see an amoeba or a cross-section of a carrot with which his biology students have become so familiar. Most of Mr. Murray’s spare time is taken up coaching football and basketball. You had better dispose of that gum right now. Hans, before we meet Miss Jenny Lee (2). Our efficient librarian knows just where to find each book, magazine, or leaflet in the entire library. Besides teaching eighth grade arithmetic and acting as senior class ad- viser. much of her time is taken up with her activities in connection with P. T. A. and the service honor roll. During those first days of our typing career when Mr. Harold Walbrandt (4) dic- tates “fjf fjf fjf” we realize how clumsy we really are. However, I have never known Mr. Walbrandt to lose his patience in spite of all our mistakes. In addition to his typing and shorthand classes, he coaches junior high ball teams. The teacher to explain practically any game is Miss Frances Kidd (17). During our gym periods she good-naturedly teaches us various game fundamentals, exercises, and first aid. During the last semester she coached the physical fitness program for the seniors. In the event of a cut finger, a sudden flash of pain, or an illness excuse. Miss Eliza- beth Peterson (9) is the first thought of every- one in school. She can handle any situation without becoming excited. During the first part of the year the home economics students prepared many de- licious breakfasts under the critical eye of Miss Lorraine Glasrud (19). Miss Marjorie Ruesink (15) has taken over Miss Glasrud’s task of introducing new recipes for preparing bread, apple sauce, and deserts to her cooking classes and teaching the sewing students the methods of making aprons, pinafores, and dresses. To help our country win the war Mr. Alvin Weitkamp’s (20) classes have built model airplanes which are used in teaching persons to spot all kinds of planes. Metal and wood work- ing and scale drawing are also a part of the work of his manual training classes. As ad- viser of the Activity Fund he makes sure the books balance. Our new band director, Mr. Jack Har- ris, (3) came from Fosston, Minnesota. His favorite instrument is the trombone, which he played in the University of North Dakota Band; he also capably teaches us to play all the others in the band. As adviser of the freshman class, he is confronted with many of their problems. Our vocal instructor. Miss Edith Hanson. (14) has already started many singers on the road to fame, and she is always working with beginners. Every hour of the day she is di- recting a Glee Club, small group, or a soloist. We’ll have to hurry along now in order to meet the classes before the day is over.

(lsT)0 the best work you can in school and volunteer for extra chores such as participating in scrap drives, purchasing stamps and bonds, and helping with the rationing program” is Su| erintendent Edward I’. Rock’s advice to students who wish to aid the war effort. During his school days at River Falls High and River Falls Teachers Col- lege, Brick, as he was called, occupied his leisure hours with football. Besides going to the University of W isconsin, he received his masters degree in educa- tional administration from the University of Minnesota. from the years 1923 to 1943, the time he has been superintendent of the Hudson schools, he has observed several changes, but he disproves the belief that the students have diminished in size. Probably the greatest change has been in the music field. From a (.iris’ (.lee Club that met once a week and was directed by a teacher who taught grade school music and art to a two teacher department and an activity that reaches almost every student in high school is the record of the music department under his encouragement. In conclusion Su] erintendent Rock remarks to the students, “1 wish to tell you that I appreciate the cooperation you have shown in the. time 1 have, been here.” Supt. £. (P. (Rock
