FW THE NORTHERN TRAIL The Faculty T TIME for us to depart has come, and with it comes the realiza- tion of what We have obtained during those four long years of high school. The struggle has been to gain knowledge and wisdom. -With that have come ambitions which we have striven to fuiill. We have been taught muchg and if we are not successful, it is not the fault of our teachers, who have labored patiently with us. It is because we have not put into practice their teachings. They have started us on the road to succe s s and have led us through many difficulties which we encountered during ourrcourse. This was no easy task, as they had to spend many long hours teaching us what we have learned. Just as a great general plans to lead his army in order to win, so did the members of the faculty plan to lead us, so that we might reach the goal of our ambitions. We appreciate the Work of the faculty and we want to thank them with all earnestness and appreciation. u SENIORS OF '29, fe . A Tribute to the Faculty XKYHAT! A quiz! Why can't We, the Senior Class be exempt from tests. It just imposes a great deal of labor upon us and means burning an extra amount of midnight oil, but sometimes marks do take an occasional rise. These thoughts and many similar ones may be found in the minds of the Senior Class. We realize, however, that these tests have been for our own benefit and education, and we also realize the patience required on the part of the instructors in trying to give each and every one of us a square deal and trying to help us gain the neces- sary knowledge that is to be used in the future. We now take this op- portunity to express our heartfelt appreciation to the instructors of the Eagle River High School. To Mr. Wolff we owe an appreciation for his Work on the sucess- ful editing of the Hi Times this year and his untiring eiorts in helping the Senior Class to put out the first annual in seven years. His work is in the field of Latin and English but we wish to thank him for the condition in wh-ich he has kept the high school library for the student body. To Miss Seim We owe an appreciation for keeping the future book- keepers and stenographers in trim by teaching them a vocation that will be of much help in the business world. To Mr. Stuart We owe thanks for the facts of history, which are stored in our cranium never to be forgotten, and also for the clean sports- manship he has taught us in our interscholastic activities.

ITHE NORTHERN TRAIL We wish to thank Miss Bagnall for her help in making the stage setting attractive for the Senior class play. We wish to thank Miss Austin and Miss Walter for their efforts in helping us to render our conduct in accordance with rules and regula- tions, of the high school and their help in .vdeclamatory work. To Mr. Kracht we owevmuch. We know he has used his best ability in preparing us for our future life work. We' especially owe him the suc- - cess of the Senior class play and the success of the financial end of the Annual. We also even appreciate the many deserved lectures received in the assembly 'and science rooms., J ' In conclusion, we feel that if we only follow the instructions which have been given to us by our instructors ,we will make a real success of the business of living. A '93 Soliloquy of a Teacher To scold, or not to scold-that is the question, Whether 'tis easier for a teacher to burn The mid-night, oil in markingiextra papers, Or to glare and threaten, And by scolding end, them. To scold-to work- N o moreg and by an order to say they end The work of the thousand extra papers That they are heir to-'tis an achievement Devoutly to be wished. To grban-to scold- - To scold! Perchance to worki! , Aye, there's the rubg For even if they .scold what students may come ' Who will not work or study? This makes them. pause. This is the thing That brings calamity to their school life, For who would stand the many extra papers The pupils' looks, their bored indifference, That feeling of disgust- those old reviews, The laziness of students, and the wrongs ' That patient teachers of the student take When they might their salvation make With many threats? Who would these burdens bear, To work all through a weary life- But that the dread of something to come-P The insecure position which all Teachers hold, puzzles the will, And makes them rather bear those ills they have Than fly to others that they know not of? Thus conscience doth make cowards of them allg And thus the happy lives of teachers Are threatened by this thought of failure- A matter which often tortures and torments- Because of this their school lives turn awry, And lose the name of joy.
