THE RESUME 19)6 THE FACULTY. Miss Bernice l’rickctt, mathematics instructor, is a graduate of the Fairfield (Nebraska) High School and also of the State University. She taught two year, ■it Davenjiort, Nebraska, and one-half year at Sidney, Nebraska, before coining here. She has been with us two years, during which time she has added her share o the enthusiasm of school activities and often brought to mind Shakespeare s Muse not that 1 thus suddenly proceed; For what J will, 1 will, and there's an end. Miss Helen Hanes, instructor of domestic science, is a graduate of the University of Illinois. She has been with us only one year and lias already shown us what a fair sample of Illinois may lie like. She was sponsor for the Junior Class and manager of one of the most successful Junior-Senior banquets in the annals of the High School. The work in the domestic science department, as everywhere else, has met with success and appreciation from outsiders, and she has -jften made us think that to obtain perfection it is not necessary to do singular things, but to do common tilings singularly well. l’rof. L. L. Smith, manual training instructor, is a graduate of the High School at 1 loisingtoii, 'Kansas, and attended the State Agricultural College at Manhattan for three years and a half. He ha, been with us two and one-half years, and during that time acted as football coach and boys gymasium instructor, in addition to his regular work. Mr. Smith has worked unceasingly in supplying •pep” and giving everybody else a dose, generous and invigorating, loo much rredit cannot be given to the work accomplished in this department, for you now— . . One constant element in luck Is genuine, solid, old Teutonic pluck. Mrs. DeWald is a supplementary teacher and has been working with us for the better part of two vears. She has attended High School at Lincoln and is a graduate of 1 lamilton College at Lexington, Kentucky. Besides the excellent Work accomplished in the classroom, Mrs. DeWald has given us the pleasure of hearing many readings of the best books and authors. No convocation period has lieen spent more enjoyable than in listening to Mrs. DeWald. “Then read from the treasured volume The poem of thy choice. And lend to the rhyme of the poet The beauty of thy voice. Miss Ethel Rough, commercial teacher, is a graduate of Weeping Water Academy and Doane College. She has been in our school only one year, l he commercial department is new in the school and Miss Rough, though laboring under this difficulty, has set a standard in this department which cannot easily be surpassed. Many students feel they have laid one stone in the foundation of their business career which really counts and have truly learned from Miss Rough through “preaching and example” that “an intense hour will do more than dreamy years.” Miss Helen Mattison, teacher of music, is a graduate of Rockwell City High School in Iowa and of Thomas Normal 1 raining School in Illinois. She lias organized and drilled two very successful glee clubs—one boys’ and one girls’—and also the High School Orchestra. These three departments have appeared on various programs and too much cannot be said of Miss Mattison’s faithful and efficient work. It embodies the truth that— “Music resembles poetry; in each And which a master hand alone can reach.”
