Donald Miller Carson Niefert Motor Jockies If you see a gray Ford whizzing around the pier you know it's Carson Neifert and his Driver's Training Class. Due to bad weather, close to the end of the semester, the recruits are con- fined to cabfn 507 on the third deck. While conhned to their cabin they take a few tests, such as eyesight, reaction, and night driving. The first semester the ciass was open to Seniors only. When Ianuary came sailing in, and the second semester rolled around, Mr. Neifert lowered the ranks so that juniors could take it too. The class is divided into two groups. One group is taken out one day and the other the next so that both groups get an even amount of chances to drive. His class is too large since he admitted Iuniors, so he maneuvered to have a Driver's Training class bath first and second hours. Forward in C s Q x N- A.. - ---4-.,.q.- ---.,f-.0 Hx-- I Notable Naturalist This is the second year Drivcr's Training has been taught aboard D. H. S. Cruising in Dowagiac High School for the hrst time is a tall, red- haired biology instructor. This new member to our fieet is Mr. Don Miller, who can be found in Room 306 or in cabin 200 showing movies. This teacher took his boot training at Northern Illinois State Teach- ers College. Before signing with our crew Mr. Miller did some stu- dent teaching at De Kalb, Illinois and at Aurora, Illinois. Mr. Miller teaches Biology, Senior-high and Iunior-high Conserva- tion. ln his biology class Mr. Miller teaches animal and plant life. facts about insects and germs. Conservation cadets learn about soil and the conservation of forests. If you heard the movie camera running in room 200, most likely the commander in charge of this is Mr. Miller. He has a crew of swabs under him, who run the machine when their commander is busy with his teaching duties. Mr. Miller would like to start a club for the Frosh so they won't forget all they learned by the time their voyage is almost over. Although this is his first trip we hope he registers for our next cruise. F. F. A.

our Field 44 -,, gf- vc-voaaauoq pr- ' ' ' ' Lancllubbers During the first two periods in the morning you will find a class in livestock being taught in Room SOS by Victor Woodrick. Mr. Woodrick has a friendly smile for everyone. This well-liked Ag in- structor also teaches crops and soils Hfth hour. Besides these two ad- vanced classes, he teaches Freshman Agriculture sixth hour. He also guides the Future Farmers of America into smooth waters. You must be a passenger in one of the Ag classes before you can join the F.F.A. This club does many interesting things. For instance, they take field trips, present a Parent and Son banquet, test soil and milk, and sponsor a Rabbit Feed. The Future Farmers of America put on different kinds of sales to- ward raising money. VVith the money they buy equipment, put on banquets and buy textbooks. During this trip they have purchased a livestock clipper and also fifty dollars worth of textbooks. The F.F.A. boys have elected officers which are as follows: Presi- dent, lim Fileg Vice-President, Richard Szymonowskig Secretary, Marion Toneyg Treasurer, Harold Faing Reporter, Glenn Gradyg Sentinel, Bob Ausra. The F.F.A. are also studying parliamentary procedure. They have a team which competes with other teams in the county. Being on the parliamentary procedure team helps these recruits earn points toward their HD. Besides these many activities Mr. W'oodrick is also sponsor of the Sophomore Class. Super-Saluraled lf you feel an explosion rock the ship, grab a lire extinguisher and run for the chemistry lab. Although this will never happen Cwe hopej Chemistry we Victor Woodrick we kid Professor Niefert about it. As we enter cabin USO? we find our shipmates wracking their brains over equations which never seem to come out right. The Chemistry class is made up of stu- dents of higher rank, usually Iuniors and Seniors. The Physics class is made up wholly of Seniors. Like the Chemistry cadets they have lab, but they do not work with chem- icalsg you are more apt to see them dropping pulleys from the IDLISI. NVe find Carson Niefert a busy person on the pigskin field coaching us to a re- spected tie for second place in the Big Seven. ln the spring he is a familiar person at the track meets coaching the recruits on to vic- tory. He also straightens out any problems we may have about Chemistry and Physics. First hour Captain Niefert leaves the ship for his drivers training class. Besides coach- ing and teaching, he is also sponsor for the Varsity Club. This would leave little time for his work with the National Guards, of which he is Battalion Commander of the heavy tank unit. Dr: 'vers Training
