Curriculum The teachers are the backbone of any education system. How much a student learns and how well he learns it depends very much on his teachers. They can make or break a young mind. We are proud of our instructors, and so, present this spotlight of their education departments. 11

Mr. Vetter Mr. Balhizer Mr. Calmes Cafeteria Staff A dream come true. Thats' what the new Cafeteria facilities are to our able cafeteria staff. The crowded kitchen, equipped with inadequate untensils, has been replaced by a spacious working area containing modern, labor-saving equipment that would delight any homemaker. Although their work in preparation now may be easier, under the direction of Mrs. Disinger our cafeteria staff has now dedicated itself to the presentation of more delicious and healthful meals. We can be sure that the lumches served are carefully selected and prepared. 10 Maintenance me new school places a double strain onto the shoulders of our maintenance crew, yet their efficiency and competence have not dwindled. Always reach to open a jammed locker or clean up after a school day, the maintenance crew is a necessary part of our school system. Although seldom praised for this service, their presence is a great asset to the well-being of every occupant of the building. Mrs. Mrs Mrs MTSQ Mrs. Mrs. Disinger, Cafeteria Manager Kryman, Assistant Cook Fuest, Head Cook Acquard, Cafeteria Helper Wagner, Cafeteria Helper Giese, Cafeteria Helper

Mr. Ronald Bell Citizenship Education Miss Charlotte Brayer World Histo Mr. George O'Connor Gai W American History Mrs. Elisabeth Acker Mrs. Ruth Deci Mr. Dean Dymond CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The study of history makes one more toler- ant, critical and aware of the influences which control man's thinking. The History Department takes the student on a historical tour into the realms of the unknown. Mr. Bell, Miss Brayer, Mr. O'Connor, and Mr. Gahn are whole-heartedly working to establish a strong background of historical knowledge into the minds of all the students. By learning of past mismes and successes we will be apt to conduct our lives in a more prudent manner. JUNIOR HIGH CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Good citizens require a firm lmowledge of history and democractic principles and ways of life. It is here, in the Citizenship Education Department of the Junior High, that such a foundation of democratic ideals are presented. Mrs. Acker, Mrs. Deci, and Mr. Dymond realize this need for historical background and every day they strive to improve their department. 12
