Three Teachers Join Staff Superintendent Richard Kirsch and Principal Robert Person dis- cuss a coming event. In addition to serving as principal, Mr. Person also teaches business law and mechanical drawing. From 8:30 to 3:30 teachers make use of their knowledge by instructing students. They not only teach class; they al- so supervise study halls and occasionally give out detention slips. The faculty helps its students attain their educations through sharing what they have learned by advising co- curricular activities, as well as teaching classes. Three new teachers. Miss Suzanne Haynie, Mr. Darwin Brown, and Mrs. Marie Lykken, joined the staff at AHS this year. Miss Haynie taught chemistry, physics, and physi- cal science; Mr. Brown taught bookkeeping, general busi- ness, driver’s education, and athJetics; and Mrs. Lykken was tiie vocal music director. Several practice teachers also helped the faculty during different periods throughout the year. Teachers give their students new insights to different areas of education. Explaining, disciplining, and guiding are only a basis for their job. They have a big responsibility, and their job is not an easy one. Teachers make up an im- portant part of our educational system. Day after day they are faced with many problems which need to be solved. In our expanding world of knowledge they help students to find many ideas that will be useful to them throughout their lives. They learn basic knowledge from the faculty staff, which helps them in school and in their daily lives. Mrs. Virginia Ericson-Home Economics, Art.

New Faces Appear on Staff There are many other people that contribute to the operation of AHS. They provide needed services that con- tribute to the atmosphere and quality of the education we receive. These people are: the cooks, custodians, bus drivers and office help. The hot lunch program at AHS was prepared by the lunchroom cooks. They carefully planned and prepared each meal. A lot of hard work and effort was put into each meal. The custodians’jobs were varied, time-consuming and exhausting. They weren’t seen too much during school but they were there, and played an important part. Mr. Sebasta completed his first year at AHS and Mrs. Solberg com- pleted her fourth year. The office help consisted of Mr. Larson and Mrs. Lin- gert. Mr. Larson was business manager. He kept books and took care of the financial matters. Mrs. Lingert was secre- tary. She took care of the files, typed up report cards and numerous other things. Early in the morning, regardless of the weather, the bus drivers got the rural students to school. Their job had a big responsibility, and they were very important to the school system. Don Larson and Marchi Lingert worked in the school office.
