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.

Miss Helland spends her day keeping her gym class- es in good physical condition through calis- thenic drills and sports, and Mr. Strand has his hands full with his energetic boys' gym classes, too. Mrs. Dahlgren, our new public health nurse, filled the vacancy left by Miss Ida Twedten. In the hands of our English teachers, Mrs. Berg, Mrs, Leslie, Mrs, McCulla, Mrs. Nach- bar, and Miss Jarman lies the difficult task of correcting our grammar and teaching us to appreciate literature. lndustrious Mr. Wood and Mr. Peterson help shop students make everything from ox-cart centerpieces to tables and cabinets. Our fine music department has come through the efforts and direction of Mr. Thorson. For guidance on matters that range from next year's schedules to information on colleges, our students turn to Miss Johnson, counsellor.
