BERKELE Y HALL MR. HOERNER Torrey Wulff What's the class everyone is all excited about?-Science. At the beginning of the second semester Mr. Hoerner came to us from Principa college to teach science. Mr. Hoerner was brought up in Lincoln, Nebraska and attended the University of Nebraska and a practice teach- ing school in Alton, Illinois. Besides teaching science, Mr. Hoerner will help Mr. McGee with boy's athletes and do other iobs around the campus, such as driving one of the school buses and taking photographs. Mr. Hoerner's favorite hobby is music, but he also enioys spending his summers at Sky Valley, a camp up in the Rocky Mountains. After a few years of teaching to gain practical experience, he expects to attend school to obtain his Master's Degree. Next fall Mr. Hoerner will be even more welcome on our campus. This summer he is to be married to Sandi Luerssen, a Berkeley Hall alumnae. MRS. TIMM Patricia Waldman Mrs. Timm, the new teacher in the Nursery, was raised in Nashville, Tennessee where she finished her schooling at the University of Tennessee. For three and a half years, Mrs. Timm served in the Treasurer's office in The Mother Church, Boston, Massachusetts. After she married, she came to Los Angeles. Mrs. Timm became interested in Berkeley Hall when she taught Sunday School. In the class there were children who attended here. Her hobby is working for youth programs. While in Nashville, she sponsored a Girl Scouts group and in Boston was active in the Junior Youth Forum. Mr. Hal Hoerner Mrs. Barbara Timm Mrs Timm is an appreciated addition to Berkeley Hall. MRS. IWERT Chris Hocker If a student of Berkeley Hall informs anyone who is even vaguely familiar with the school that he attends Berkeley Hall, the question will often be asked, Oh, is Mrs. lwert still there? Mrs. lwert has been a firm rock, preparing the way for countless Second Graders to continue their scholastic experience. She came to Berkeley Hall in 1941, and continued till the end of the first semester of 1966. She stands out in the memories of many pupils as the teacher who showed them the most love, understanding, and patience, yet main- tained a firm hand. Many former students remember her as their inspiring art teacher. Who can forget the fascinating knowledge of shells gained from her teaching? And the first experience with real writing mastered under the patience of Mrs. lwert? Even though she has left active teaching, she still expresses active interest in Berkeley Hall. All those who have had the good fortune to have come under the guidance of Mrs. lwert owe her a great debt of gratitude.

WELCOME TG A HELPFUL ADDITION Pam McGee 81 Patricia Waldman The newcomer in the Gym Department this year is Mrs. Cooling, a native of California. Mrs Cooling was born in Long Beach and attended Principia High School. She spent two years at Long Beach City College and two more years at the University of Southern California where she majored in telecommunication. Mrs. Cooling has participated in several sports for many years such as water ballet, tennis, field hockey, ice skating, and skiing. While in high school, she was captain of the women's varsity basketball team. For several years Mrs. Cooling donated her time to charity organizations and girls' clubs where she did work with charm and modeling. When she was only four years old, Mrs. Cooling started modeling. She was dis- covered while taking a dancing lesson and continued modeling through- out her school years. While enrolled in U.S.C., she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority, and she participated for a year in a radio program on the U.S.C. campus. l Mrs. Cooling's family includes her husband and three children. Mr. Cooling is an architect whose hobbies are skiing and sailing. One child is in Seventh Grade, another in Kindergarten, and the third in Nursery. A NEW WORKER Bonnie Swan, Gary Hansen Mrs. Crow is a longtime friend of Berkeley Hall, but a new face in the office. She helps out wherever she is needed and ends up doing a little bit of everything. Next year, Mrs. Crow will be the new secretary of the Mothers' Club. Some of her duties will include setting up the meeting, suggesting new ideas, and delegating duties. Although her smiling face is relatively new to us, her six children are famil- iar to most of us. Ken and Dale graduated from Berkeley Hall and are in Principia. But you will find the younger ones here, Todd, Senior Nursery, Allan, Fifth Grade, Laurie, Sixth Grade, and Gary, Eighth Grade. Mrs. Crow is an experienced secretary, for she worked at U.C.L.A. in the Extension Department and is Principia Mothers' Club Secretary for Los An- geles area. She is much appreciated in the office and is looking forward to increased activitiy next year. THE MISSING LINKE Richard Asher and Bonnie Swan It is clear that what's been missing at Berkeley Hall is a Linke. However, after a massive search, the Second Grade found one of these rare specimens. When she was four years old, she and her three brothers had a family act. At first they did shows mainly for the U.S.O. Her two younger brothers at the ages of five and seven were billed as The World's Youngest Hand Balancers . When Mrs. Linke was twelve and her brother fiften, they turned professional and did a circus act. They had a perch act where she did tricks on top of a thirty foot pole. She also did a ballet adagio on a pedestal. The four talented children toured fairs, circuses, and rodeos. They were trained by MGM stuntmen. Mrs. Linke graduated from UCLA and majored in Education. She taught Sixth Grade at Cowan Avenue School in Westchester for one and a half years. To complete the chain there are three little Linkes, two of whom are in Berke- ley Hall. One is one and a half, one is in Nursery School, and the other is in First Grade. We are all most grateful and pleased for the talented addition of Mrs. Linke to Berkeley Hall.
