 f t •- OUR YESTERDAYS The Faculty Map 1 dreamt—1 had gone into a large laboratory in the Berne High School and while searching tor some instrument required in a chemistry experiment, 1 noticed a queer looking device resembling an adding machine. On each of the keys was printed a name of some teacher, who at one time was a member of the Berne High School faculty. As 1 punched the key the hand on a dial, the face o:’ which was a map of the world, rotated and pointed to the place where they are at present located. The ti t key I punched was that which bore the name of Mr. B. A. Winans, who helped organize the Berne High School. The hand pointed to Livingston. Montana where he is superintendent of schools. As 1 punched the next key the hand moved to Michigan City, where Mr. Huff is proprietor of a Piggly Wiggly. Then it again turned back to Indiana and pointed to Thorntown. where Mr. Beck is superintendent of schools. From Indiana the pointer moved to New York City, where Miss Arminta Beck, who had gotten her M. A. from Columbia, was studying and teaching voice and singing in one of the leading churches at that place. In the same State Dr. (). G. Brim is professor in the Department of Rural Education at Cornell University. , As 1 punched the key with the inscription R. J. I). Walters. the pointer swayed rom the far east to Rocky Ford. Colorado. The above mentioned is superintendent of schools at that place and is said to be one of the leading educators of the state. This time when 1 punched the key my thoughts centered at Mason City. Iowa, where Miss Burke is teaching English. Then the hand turned from Iowa to Columbia, Mis- ouri. where Mrs. William Albrecht (Gertrude Lehman) resides, her husband being professor in the State University. Now. again, my thoughts traversed a vast territory following the pointer to Northfield. Minnesota. Mrs. .1. F. Balzer (Alieda v. 1. Smissen) lives at this place. Her husband is a professor in Carlton College. Then 1 saw the name John H. Weldy. I wondered what had ever become of him. On pressing the key 1 found that he was a druggist at Kendallville. F. G. Haecker I found to be a farmer in W ells county. Julia Ziegler appeared to me as M s. William Fosdiek, living at La Forte. Indiana. To my surprise I found that the name of Miss Prang had changed to Mrs. William Kinehaus and that she was living at Chicago. She has also written a book which was accepted by the Iowa State Board of Education. Mrs. Frieda Flack Hartman I found in far away China, doing missionary work. 1 also learned that Prof. G. A. Lehman is at the head of the conservatory at Bluffton College. As I punched key after key I found Asa Sprunger teaching at Decatur. Illinois; Martha Baumgartner, (Mrs. C. T. Habegger) in Berne; Mrs E. II. Sprunger. former teacher here, living at Fort Wayne, Mr. Sprunger being Membership Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at that place: Charles Baumgartner in business at South Whitley: Misses Chambers and Basford teaching at Springfield. Illinois; Miss Velma Schug, a Senior at Northwestern College: Miss Shordon teaching in the Fort Wayne High School: Miss Frieda v. d. Smissen living with her aunt at Beatrice. Nebraska; Miss Sumption at her home in Kendallville: and Miss Norris at her home in Muncle. Suddenly I awoke. My curiosity was so aroused that 1 immediately invesigated and found that all was true.
