Mr. William Daniels, attendance counselor and track coach, also teaches three classes of Survey of Science and Senior Mathematics each day. Little spare time is found outside of this busy schedule for Mr. Daniels. Scheduling movies, running projectors, being Junior Class advisor, operating the school store, and chaperoning school dances provides a full time schedule for Mr. Robert Christianson, the all-around man at BHS. Mrs. Leona Johnson, librarian, is enjoying her first year away from actual teaching. Mrs. Johnson taught Senior English in former years at BHS. She also is advisor to the National Honor Society. A new member of the faculty this year is Mrs. Janet Deppe, the other of the two librarians working to make our library bigger and better for our students. page 23

ANNA MAE DAWSON ERLAND JENSEN Mrs. Anna Mae Dawson came to Bloomington in 1952 and began teaching English, Journalism, and History. She was the first advisor of the Mah-Quh, the school paper. At the present time Mrs. Dawson is one of the student counselors, a position she has held since 1953. She feels the most interesting and rewarding part of her job is her contact with the students of BHS. It is her theory that drive and desire are the most important attributes toward success. She feels that the best prediction of college success is high school success. This is a word to the wise. Counselor to this year's junior class is Mr. Erland Jensen. Kept continually busy handling student's complaints and counseling needs, Mr. Jensen's position is very demanding and time consuming. Acting also as faculty advisor of the Junior Red Cross, a very'active organization at BHS, he finds time quite scarce. Mr. Jensen's fine qualifications and personal traits are proven by his popularity as an advisor and counselor. Our third student counselor is Mr. Clifford Severson, advisor to this year's large group of Sophomores. In his first year of counseling at BHS, Mr. Severson finds his job very interesting and rewarding. Besides his duties as counselor, Mr. Severson teaches three classes of Conservation, and is faculty advisor to the Future Teachers of America Club, known as F.T.A. page 22 CLIFFORD SEVERSON

BETTY BORTH Many office secretaries and clerks are needed to maintain our Bloomington High School office, and to keep it operating on schedule, with its enrollment of approximately 1400 students. Mrs. Darlene Haring, attendance desk clerk, is in charge of keeping records of those students who are absent from day to day. The switchboard proves to be another busy position ably managed by Miss Patricia Erickson, a 1959 graduate of BHS. Working on General office and Library work entitles Miss Betty Borth, a 1958 graduate of BHS, to meet and talk with many students. ELIZABETH ANDERSON PATRICIA ERICKSON Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson, school nurse, attends to those students who become ill or injured in any way, during the school day. A special secretary to the three counselors is also needed. Mrs. Virginia Spangler finds herself continually busy with arranging counseling appointments for all the students. VIRGINIA SPANGLER page 24
