FACULTY September of 1940 found the school alive with many youths ready for the year's activities. Yet we find that one, and the most important member of our faculty, was not with us, for reasons which make us all sorry. kr. Wohlford, our principal, was taken ill during the latter part of the summer and at the time school opened he was in the hospital in a very serious condition. With the aid of Kr. intendent, we were able smoothly.

At his leaving, Mrs. Elvy from Freeport, came and took over Mr. Hoke's classes. Of course we had our Hups and downs,H but on the whole everything went fine. We were eager to hear the report of Mr. Wohlford each day, and looked forward to the time when he could be back with us. After having undergone sev- eral serious operations he was reported as improv- ing with time. , Finally the day arrived for him to come home, and occasionally we could see him at the window off fl F w V his home.

When we returned to schodl after Christmas Vacat tion we found that during that time Miss Cbchran had chosen to change her name to Mrs. Carl Schille, and that she no longer would continue teaching. However she taught for several weeks until a new teacher could be had, and than she and her husband made their home in Rockford. Mr. Roy Wolff, from Whitewater, Wisconsin, came to be our teacher. Though there seems to have been many changes in our faculty during the year, with great patience and cooperation an Bhe part vef bkrh Wohlford and the other teachers we have been able to have a very successful and progressive year at Dakota High School. BOARD OF EDUCATION First of all we wish to thank the board for the new equipment that has been placed in our school for use this year. The new home economics room is much appreciated by the girls,- for they realize what a great advantage it is to have the opportuni- ties provided for their use, 1 4 Mr. Frank Thomas, the president, resigned during the year and Mr. William Pfile was placed on the board as the new member. Ford Wise was elected as president for the term. IQ T fftwass g't -r'-t- ifadnhn--me W- an ' of gX1 t ' W '- '-'Y--'---f I refine-ii.ii,11iiig-.ii:'i:i:'f::i.Efbe a
