Mr. Nelson I. Thorp Teaches Ag. and Agricultural Occupations classes at Catlin High I was born and raised on a large central Illinois farm. I attended grade school and high school at Wapella , where in high school I was in FFA , held offices in the FFA and class, and a member of the honor society. Raising purebred sheep and working on Dad's farm took up most of my idle hours. At Southern Illinois University, at Carbondale, I obtained my BS degree in Ag. Education. As a freshman at college, I com- pleted requirements for my pilot's license and became a member of the flying club and collegiate FFA. I held the office of president in both organizations and the National Intercollegiate Flying Association. After college , the U . S . Army was a part of my education for nearly 3 years. I then taught Ag. for 3 years at Waterloo , Illinois and moved with my wife and daughter to Catlin in 1974.

Mrs. Barbara Winkler Home Economics Mrs. Winkler attended a small school right after the war. Due to the war, teachers were scarce so their classes were overcrowded. There were 35 kids in one English class. Teachers at this time were scarce and always on the move. So in one year there were 7 teachers! Imagine! Mrs. Wink1er's memorable experience was the suppposed discipline in the classroom. Of course we weren't supposed to talk - but we did!

Mrs . Brenda Ferguson Art My dad used to tell me that I was like a school custo- dian, I was the first to arrive and the last to leave. During my four years at Carlyle High School I participated in GAA , FHA , FTA CFuture Teachers of Americaj, school musicals, senior play, newspaper, 'Choraliers' , and I was Democratic chairperson for a mock Johnson-Goldwater presidential campaign. My most memorable experience, if I must choose was when the 'Choraliers' went to Springfield. We were a song and dance group that traveled around the state and per- formed for various organizations. On this occasion we were performing at a convention in honor of our governor, Otto Kerner. After the performance we had breakfast with the governor and we all got to shake his hand. ww,
