Agriculture’s having a prominent place in the curriculum at AHS is due largely to the efforts of Mr. Dobberstein, instructor. Being activity fund treasurer keeps him busy recording receipts and disbursements, but a large share of his time is occupied with FFA activities. Mr. Dobberstein is the principal at Alcester. Seventy lessons a week is quite a few, but our music teacher, Miss Trenker, manages to have time for all of them. She has worked hard this year directing the band, mixed chorus, and glee clubs. She also teaches seventh and eighth grade English. Mrs. Coatsworth came to AHS at the beginning of the third six weeks' period to replace Mrs. Ivan Ericson, who resigned. Heading the Home Economics Department, she teaches homemaking I and II, general science, physiology, related art, seventh and eighth grade art, and physical educa- tion. One of the busiest teachers on the staff this year is Miss Myrand. She teaches algebra, ge- ometry, and two classes of history, advises the librarians, and directs declamatory students as well as the senior class play. Hazel Coatsworth Elsie Myrand 8

Guiding the Line William Beckman James Culey Behind the superintendent's desk Mr. Beckman is seated. He is daily confronted with many prob- lems ranging from tack stealing to those of a financial aspect. Besides being coach in the athletic department, he teaches American government, sociology, and seventh and eighth grade math. Physics, Biology, and junior high science are the subjects Mr. Culey teaches. He has done much to expand the Science Department in our school. Mr. Culey coached the “B” basketball t earn which had only three losses, and during the football season he was assistant coach. If you were to peek into the room at the end of the hall after shcool, you would find Mrs. Baird busy correcting papers. As head of the commercial department she teaches bookkeeping, short- hand, and two typing classes. She also instructs seventh and eighth grade social science. Every student at AHS has one class period under Mr. Van Zant's instruction, for he teaches the four English classes. He directed the junior class play, some declamatory students, and advised the annual staff.
