CAFLISCH MCKINLEY OPSAHL LAWRENZ Our Grade Faculty Although not directly connected with high school affairs, we feel that a picture of our grade teachers is highly appropriate in our Annual. Our grades are in the same building and we have daily contact with the teach- ers. Also we know these teachers as the instructors of our younger bro- thers and sisters, and consequently, those who may read this book because of interest in us, may have the same amount of interest in the younger children and their teachers. MISS MARGERY CAFLISCH Miss Cafiisch is completing her sixth year as a teacher in our schools. She has always had charge of the two upper grades. The present grad- uating class was at one time one of her classes. Her home is in Baraboo, and she is a graduate of that high school. She has been attending summer sessions at the university regularly. MISS EDAN MCKINLEY Miss McKinley is completing her first year as a teacher here. She came to us from Platteville State Teachers' College, and she has charge of our fifth grades. Her home is in Lancaster. I MISS EL FRIEDA OPSAHL Miss Opsahl also is just completing her first year here. She came from the State Teachers' College at La Crosse and teaches our Third and Fourth grades. She had several years of experience in rural schools be- fore she came here. Miss Opsahl lives in Viroqua. MISS LYDIA LAWVRENZ Miss Lawrenz is, like Miss Caflisch, completing her sixth year here. She is our primary teacher, and makes her home at Reedsburg. Miss Lawrenz has been attending summer sessions at the State Teachers' Col- lege at Platteville. Page Twenty'Seven

SIR ROGER DE COVERLY Just as I finished the last page of my book-Sir Roger de Coverly Papers-the telephone rang. My immediate reaction can be expressed in three words: Let it ring. For one thing, I was comfortable, and another, it is my habit, as soon as I finish a book, to think about how I would change the hero to suit me. The amazing thing about this situation was that Sir Roger completely suited me. 1 put the book on the end table and relighted my pipe, quite confident that I could find some flaw in his character. For some few moments I sat, gazin into the fire. Suddenly I had at strong desire to feel the night air. Gathering together necessary apparel I made a dash for the street. After I had gone a few blocks, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. Turning about, I found myself face to face with Sir Roger himself. Imagine my feelings when he said, Say, brother, isn't there anything going on in London anymore ? Trying to conceal my amazement, I murmured something about an eating place. Dazed as I was, and being somewhat hungry, I led him to a cafe. As soon as he had partaken of some food, he began to talk. Did you ever read the de Coverly Papers? he asked. Without allowing me to answer, he continued, I nearly laughed myself sick over some of that tosh my friend Addison concocted--especially about the widow, She was a beautiful woman as far as I know, but that tommy-rot about brains! Her mind reminds 1ne of a vacuum falling into a void-beautiful but dumb, don't you know. I'd have married my dairy maid sooner. And my servants-diddling old chumps--they were exactly the opposite- -J. D. A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT Nestled close to the base of a great green hill, is a beautiful little home. The cottage itself is made of dull red stone. Gayly ruffled curtains are hung at all the windows and a thin column of smoke rises straight to the clear blue sky overhead. The home is surrounded by a lovely garden for which several low, spreading trees furnish the shade. Narrow, pebbled paths lead in and out from among the well-tended flower beds, and quite near a pansy bed, a small fountain plays. Beside the house, a little child in pink rompers playing in a heap of yellow sand which is piled against a low stone wall over which wild honeysuckle vines are creeping. It is hard to imagine anything but peace and harmony among these picturesque surroundings. Page Twenty-Six
