Listen to their words of wisdom LEFT TO RIGHT: A. Lolclien, P. Jeffry, M. Gilbertson, E. Lee, D. Hvambsal. D. Olson VOCATIONAL AND MUSIC TEACHERS The credit for guiding us to our musical appreciation and accomplishments goes to Miss Dorothy Hvambsal, vocal instructor, and Albert Lokken, band director. Miss Hvambsal also teaches English, and Mr. Lokken teaches general science. Teaching students to be good homemakers is the particular task of Miss Mae Gilbertson, home economics instructor, who also supervises the noon-lunch program. John Peterson, Paul Jeffrey, and Elmer Lee are instructors in a comparatively new field, the Vet- eran's Agricultural Training Program. Commercial training is given by Dwight Olson. Anyone who intends to enter the business world can make use of the shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping which are offered. Industrial arts, a worthwhile and interesting field for any young man, is taught by John Skala.

They shall (Jidda you and shall teach you LEFT TO RIGHT: Back row—H. Alfons, P. Gilles, L Brockmeyer, H. Cossentine. Front row: J. Skoglund. R. Hanion, M. Myrvick, O. Peterson, H. Buska. ACADEMIC TEACHERS If you hear someone split an infinitive, you can be sure he wasn't a student in Miss Marion Myr- viclc's, Mrs. Hazel Alfons', or Otis Peterson's English class. The English program is supplemented by journalism and speech. If you smell formaldehyde or some chemicals in the halls, either Robert Hanlon's biology class has been dissecting or Paul Gilles' physics or chemistry class has completed an experiment. Anyone trying to find the sixteenth root of 2.123 evidently is a member of Miss Harriet Cossentine's higher algebra class. She also teaches elementary algebra, math, and geometry. Singing the Star Spangled Banner ordinarily wouldn't be taught in history, but that is one of the things done in Howard Buska's American History classs. World History is taught by Leon Brockmeyer; social science and economic geography by Junior Skoglund.
