3l'l'0YV THE FACULTY PRIDES ITSELF By MARJORIE BOSLEY Does everyone have certain things that stand out from among the other events in the school year? Naturally! For this reason each teacher was ask- ed two question. First,what has been the highlight of the year for you? Sec- ond, what personal successes might you care to mention such as magazine articles and offices in the branches of the South Dakota Educational Ass'n. Carl Gruhn claims that the high- light of the year for him is the or- ganization ofthe Students' Court and also the work with the newly organiz- ed Courtesy League. On the first of the two topics, the Students' Court System, he has written an article. Merton Hasse's highlight of this year is one that every teacher would whole-heartedly appreciate. This is his discovery that there are five students in school who are doing their best. Bert Popowski has been prominent in S. D. E. A. work and he also has written several articles. He is presi- dent of the school publication group, and a member of the Public Relations Council. His articles have been pu- blished in the Industrial Arts and Vocational Education, Scholastic Editor, Athletic -Ioumal,', and Am- erican Homes during the 1935-36 sch- ool year. Without doubt, the high- light for Mr. Popowski was his disco- very that the 1935 Arrow had won first place at the state press conference. Probably this same event brought unestimated pleasure to Ella Cristen- sen and Judith Johnson. Miss john- son also enjoyed serving as one of the three judges of the state contest of Horatian Odes by Latin students, 18 who also participated in the national contest to celebrate Horace's Bimill- enium. Louis Anderson treated the two questions in a humorous vein. He claims that the highlight of the year for him was his discovery that the state owed him income taxes insteadof vice versa. In reply to what personal successes he might care to mention he said, Modesty forbids! Leopold Rutter has appreciated the personal experience and pleasure of working with a group of nne, loyal young musicians. john Cochran has been the treas- urer of the local Teachers, Associa- tion. His school year's highlight has been the introduction of a new book- keeping system and the division of classes. The highlight of the year for Roy Davidson was the Eagles' defeat of Mitchell in one of the most exciting games he has ever seen. His principal accomplishment for the year is the capturing of the championship of the North Central conference in football. john Linn seems unusually proud since the Booster Club has made such a successful debut this year. He earns considerable credit also since he direct- ed the play Ghost Bird. Cecil Monroe boasts with pride that two of his declamation students received superior rating in state meet. This is the first time since 1913 that one school has received honors in two of the divisions in the same year. The rest of the teachers? They are too bashful or modest to admit their accomplishments. It,s not that they haven't any. 1936
