Elementary Teachers KINDERGARTEN: Margaret Don- nell. FIRST GRADE: Barbara Schnable, Thelma Papoi, absent. SECOND GRADE: Marjorie Tuss- ing, Ileen Steffen. THIRD GRADE: Ruth Dierickx, Barbara Koehler. An elementary school teacher is a stu- dent's first contact with education. It is in the elementary grades that pupils start to form their opinions and beliefs. The teach- er must start the young pupils on the right path, teaching them the very basics of edu- cation. An elementary teacher is kind and sympathetic, giving her all to her students. She works with her students with patience and understanding. The only reward that she asks is that her students remember her as someone who tried to understand and give them the best beginning education'' possi- ble. The elementary teacher always wel- comes advancement. New methods are always being employed. An example of this is the teaching of various languages to the young pupils and new methods in math and reading. FOURTH GRADE: Hildegarde Scholl, Emma Schortgen. FIFTH GRADE: Elizabeth Schlot- terbeck, Ruth Ellen Fly. SIXTH GRADE: Gladys Borough, Norma Diedrich. 8
