eaifwzing. 7eacfzm4 Again, the Quill staff is presenting sketches of some of the teach- ers of Ball High, with the purpose of bringing about more friendly relationships between students and teachers. This time, we have in- terviewed the members of the Science Department and the Library staff. - Called Little Texas by the National Education Association be- cause she is only four feet nine inches tall, Miss Greta Oppe is known to Ball High as Little Miss Oppef, Miss Oppe considers it a rare privilege to have served as head of the Science Department for twenty-five years. The author of a work- text entitled Chemistry for High Schoolsf' Miss Oppe is vice presi- dent of the National Science Teachers Association of America. She is a director of the Texas Junior Academy of Science and is generally known for her scientific work. Anything scientific is both her career and her hobby, Miss Oppe says. Lil Besides being physics teacher here at Ball High, Mr. G. W. Bert- schler is sponsor of the Camera Club, which he originated in 1938. He is also interested in music, having been director of the Ball High Band from 1933 to 1937. He has played with the University of Texas Orchestra and the Galveston Melody Orchestra. In relation to physics, it is only natural that Mr. Bertschler is interested in mathematics and aeronautics. He has taught various math courses in summer schoolg he taught special classes in pre- flight aeronautics for the C.A.A. before the war, and for three years during the war he had a class of pre-flight aeronautics at Ball High. Mr. Bertschler is from New Braunfels, Texas, and is a graduate of the high school there. There were 16 members of the graduating class, he relates, of whom nine attended college and five became teachers. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Texas, with a major in mathematics for the first, and one in physics for the other. He served as a tutor for two years in the department of physics at the University of Texas. She would rather eat lemon pie than anythingg she liked Gone With the Wind so well that she read it twiceg she thinks Night and Day is a beautiful piece of musicg and she simply adores kittens. This is Miss Mildred Bettencourt. 56
