He taught History, Civics, and first-year typing. Mr. Rowley turned out many an efficient typist although he complained of the endless noise, almost convinced that someone was deliberately getting the typewriters out of ad- justment to keep him busy.

FAIR WORLD FOR ALL lNFlNlTE HORIZONSH Alice Nygaard One of the assets of E.H.S. was the library manage- ment of Mrs. Nygaard. Her Could I help you? came in very handy and her Quiet please! kept the roof from raising. She taught her junior librarians the fundamentals of librarying and they became skill- ed at such tasks as helping you find a book before Lit. class. As a result, she turned out a competent class of librarians. A library critic, she could give you data on anything from the encyclopedia to the newest adventure story. More than once she had made a Joe Bulldog realize that maybe there was some- thing to this reading stuff. J. Hudson and E. Kohel helped Mrs. Nyslf-lard flQU f' the Iibrary's daily income from overdue books. tShe sure trusted them.J OUR CHANGING GOVERNMENT Arley Vancil While passing room 26 one saw Mr. Vancil at his desk, amid a confusion of books, maps, and students. He was busy taking notes while a student was managing his class. Mr, Vancil always wanted his students to learn the significance of their subjects by taking an active part in the class. The students in his classes, which included Literature and English, American History and Government, World Geogra- phy, and World History, could testify that because of his methods the classes were more interesting and informative. Mr. Vancil was one of the Senior Class Advisors and in charge of the U.N. Pilgrimage Contest. He proved that a farmer can be a wonderful teacher, or that a teacher can farm. YOUR GOVERNMENT Russell Wiseman Everyone at E.H.S. knew and liked Coach Russ Wfiseman. Besides coaching the basketball team, Mr. Wiseman taught American History and civics and managed study halls.

MAKE WAY FOR THE Ah-caught in t-he act-working Editor D. Fer uson and Business Manager Smith looked over annual copy, while Howard Kaynor of the Daily Record offered advice. ELEMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY Merle Kibbe Mr. Kibbe, as usual was busy. There were his industrial arts classes and the Klahiam. Also the photograph-y class and very productive Cam Club were under his supervision. He took for granted that any emergency work was his to do whether it was nailing on a broken heal, fixing a zipper, repair- ing athletic equipment, or fixing a chair. His sense of humor scared the sophomore staff members stiff with April Fool report cards. First time in twenty years of teaching that report cards came out on April firstf' BRAVE DEADLlNE AT DAWN The Klahiam Staff was in a state of complete confusion all year long. Donna Ferguson, editor, had ulcers before the Klahiam ever got to the printers. Terry Camden, photography editor, had streaks of grey among her golden locks. Norine Smith, busi- ness manager, had a crop of corns after running after every businessman in town trying to sell ads or running after her staff to make them do it. The photography staff, the editorial staff, and Mr. Kibbe, the advisor, were working nights to meet all dead- lines. The dummy was a shattered personality. When it wasn't lost it was divided among a dozen people. Someone using the only typewriter caused a waiting line. Some anonymous monster was always hiding pictures which were supposed to be used. A Klahiam photographer was flying out the door with a camera in one hand and a supply of flashbulbs in the other. Receipt books were lying all over with discarded write ups and empty rubber cement bottles. There was a constant flow of traffic going up and down the stairs that led to the dark room. Mr. Kibbe's room looked as if a hurricane had struck. But this happens every year and the Klahiam came out on june 5th as promised, but the staff was prepared to leave town in case it didn't.
