Administration DEAN OF GIRLY Guiding each girl in school is the biggest problem for Miss Marie Port, dean of girls. Her oflice is the mecca for any girl with a question or a problem. Be- sides lending a helping hand to everyone, Miss Port is a faculty adviser for the Student Council and assists them with all their functions. In her first year at Appleton High School she has won the hearts of all and amazed everyone with her boundless energy and enthusiasm. LIBRARIANS lt is no easy task to administer efficiently a library as large and as busy as that of A.H.S. As we know, Miss Ruth Mielke and Miss Ethelwyn Baerwaldt have successfully accomplished that job. Moreover they are always willing to help any student, whether a sopho- more getting acquainted with the library or a senior who has forgotten his way around, to find the right book or magazine for reference work or just enjoyable reading. Miss Port Mr. Witte ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Besides acting as assistant principal Mr. Werner Witte is also the dean of boys. Always available for consultation, he is busy at every hour of the day planning someone's program or advising some boy about a job. The many intricacies of the oflice ad- ministration are dealt with swiftly and efficiently by him. Mr. Witte also teaches psychology and sociology in the social science department and acts as the manager for the whole athletic department. OFFICE GIRLS Seeing that the wheels of the office turn smoothly is the job ably performed by Miss Mildred Nussbaum and Mrs. Richard Gruentzel, who was succeeded at the semester by Miss Marion Belongea. Their duties, which are many and varied, include keeping atten- dance records, bookkeeping, typing, and general office work. Greeting all questions with a smile is the diffi- cult task so well accomplished by the ofiice girls. Miss Mielke, Miss Baerwaldt Miss Nussbaum, Mrs. Gruentzel Page 9

' 1 Faculty ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, mzmling: Miss Warzinik, Miss Heenan, Miss Wolf, feared: Miss Williams, Miss Kniebusch, Miss Smith, Miss Klumb, Miss Anderson, Miss Brooks. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT A thorough preparation in the mechanics of reading, writing, and speaking, as well as the acquisition of an appreciation in the best of American and English literature, by every graduate of Appleton High School is the lofty aim of the English department. In his sophomore and junior year the student is encouraged to read widely and with discrimination of the classics and more modern books through the free-reading system. Even though much has been added to enrich the English curriculum, the fundamentals have not been neglected. Each student is required to take two years of English in high school, but when he is a senior the course is elective. He may have his choice between college preparatory English, which is a thor- ough review of English grammar and a survey of Eng- lish literature, or non-college English, which is less for- mal work in English usage and current literature. This program should provide a basis for any student to be able to know what to read and then to choose the worthwhile material out of what he has read. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The study of Latin, German, or Spanish provides much more than just a reading or even a speaking knowledge of these languages. Everyone learns some- thing of the customs of these countries as well as the famous people and works of literature which those countries produced. Foreign origins of English words, Language as a tool of thought, reading foreign news- papers and hearing outstanding foreign language re- cordings receive the greatest amount of attention of the language students. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Science-the study of how and why things in the world about us act as they do under certain conditions -encourages the student to think for himself and to reach conclusions from his own observations. In biology he learns the intricacies of the human body, the animal and plant world. In chemistry class he is concerned with the permanent changes matter under- goes, and in physics with heat, light, sound, electricity, and mechanics.
