TRUANT OFFICER Mrs. Marion Boyd is the visiting teacher. In our town's jargon she is the feminine truant officer. She calls on an absentee who has no phone; she tries to persuade students who want to quit school to continue; and she has charge of the rental of school books. These in a nutshell are her duties. Mr . Marion Boyd BUSINESS EXECUTIVES Mr. Clifford Hume (not pictured) left Central in January after teaching typing for only one term ... A large percentage of the pupils at Central take a commercial course. These students inevitably have Miss Scott, an A senior adviser, for office practice . . . Another typing teacher is Miss Zanger. Her favorite place is San Francisco, and her hobbies are reading and seeing movies . . . The teacher of beginning typing is Miss Myrtle Turnquist (not pictured), the department chairman. Her hobby is managing a summer resort at Mille Lacs Lake . . . The hobby of Mr. Nordby is remodeling old houses . . . The sympathy of everyone for war victims is confirmed by Miss Agnes Carey (not pictured) who sent holiday gifts to thirteen veterans at the Veterans' Hospital. She teaches stenography and transcription. Mr. Walter Nordby—Typing. Miss Georgia Scott—Typing and Offico Practico. Miss Helen Zanger—Typing, Bookkoop-ing and Stenography.

ENGLISH EXPERTS Continuing with the English department, we see Mrs. Smith. Her ambition is to see Europe after the war. Seeing Pavlowa dance was her greatest thrill ... A lasting memory will be Mrs. Gamble’s favorite phrase: It's never too late to mend. Her hobby is ornithology ... That teachers are always working to increase their knowledge is evident in Miss Miller who received her Master's Degree at the University of Minnesota in the summer of 1942. She is an instructor of English . . . Mrs. Brice, the librarian, would like to fly to Europe in her own plane: but now she devotes her weekends to the Red Cross in which she is a Nurses' Aide.... Although Miss McDill (not pictured) has traveled all over the world, she likes best to climb the mountain trails of Colorado. She teaches English and Shakespeare. Mrj. Nora Smith—English. Miss Harriet Miller—English. Mrs. Helen Gamble— English. Lower right: Mrs. Jeannette Brice- Librarian. TOWN LIBRARY The library, an important cog in every town, is a much used room at Central. Here the students gather for reference and pleasure reading. It is the center for training the future readers and librarians of our town and the world.

Mr. Guy Lander—Machine Shop, Woodturning and Mechanical Drawing. MASTER MECHANICS And now, you basketball fans, haven't you always wanted to know more about the coaches? Well, here goes about Mitch. Mr. Mitchell's favorite hobby is cows. (Wonder if he supported the back to the farm movement.) His ambition is to live on his farm and raise pedigreed cattle. Mr. Thomai Cunninyhjm - Mechanical Drawing and Architectural Drawing. Mr. Maylon Hopp—Cabinet Shop, Woodturning. and Glider Conduction. At the blackboard below: Mr. Woston Mitchell — Mechanical Drawing. Lower right: Mr. John Dunnewald—Glidor Construction. Because of the pressing need for skilled workers in war plants, Mr. Lander trains machinists. He must be praised for having six full classes a day. Busy as he is, he somehow finds time to fish for muskellunge . . . Another teacher with six classes a day is Mr. Hepp, department chairman. Neither of these teachers has an advisory. The time that Mr. Hepp can spare from construction work he spends in sports ... At the right is Mr. Dunnewald who taught glider construction during the fall semester . . . Also teaching industrial arts is Mr. Cunningham. Because he and his wife love children very much, they care for five orphans. In his classes he is training boys in pre-induction draw-inq for aircraft drafting . . . Our town's cabinet shops this year made folding chairs, folding tables and smoking stands for the Red Cross. 14
