Miss Engebretson, Miss Helland, and Mrs. Mc- Culla enjoy a refreshing cup of coffee at the end of a busy day. Faculty We, as teachers, are involved in more than just trying to teach the three R's. At any time we may be called upon to supervise parties, organize a banquet, or assist in the production of a play. We have our own professional ar- ganizations, too, like the Clrookston Education Association, Polk County Education Associa- tion, Minnesota Education Association, and the National Education Association. Mr. Lehr- er acts as president and Miss Dirks as secre- tary-treasurer of the local education group. Peering into our classrooms during the day, you will find us patiently trying to develop and add to our students' knowledge. Miss Probst- field endeavors to explain word problems as simply as she can to her dubious, yet willing, algebra students. ln junior high math classes Mr. Melby and Mr. Nomland face similar problems when it comes to teaching percent- ages and fractions.
