MR. CLARENCE HOLLISTER Mr. Clarence Hollister joined the F enger faculty in 1949 after teaching at Lindblom High for 21 years. He was also principal for three high schools in Wisconsin, totaling 45 years of teaching experience. Mr. Hollister was born in Racine, Wisconsin and received his teacher's training at the University of Wisconsin. Fifteen years of his boyhood were spent at the Taylor Orphan Asylum where he had some of the happiest days of his life. During his years at Fenger, Mr. Hollister has sponsored many activities, having introduced and being the present sponsor of the Senior Sing. Our best wishes are extended to Mr. Hollister in the hopes that will find as much happiness in his retirement as he has brought to F enger faculty and students. MR. WILLIAM NEIL TRIMBLE William Neil Trimble was born on january 16, 1905. He graduated from Kankakee High School in 1922, and then went to Chicago to study music at the American Conservatory, and the Institute of Music and Allied Arts. He received his degree from there in 1926. Also in 1926, Mr. Trimble toured with the Chicago Little Symphony through the Southwest. In 1921, he entered the Chicago school system, assigned to Schurz. From there he transferred to F enger, where he took on the task of building instrumental groups. Mr. Trimble then took a military leave to leave to enlist in the AAF in 1942. He was discharged in May 1943, and returned to Fenger, retiring in 1958 due to ill health. We wish to extend our best wishes to Mr. Trimble as he sits behind his desk in the Clifton Advocate Building, the local newspaper of Clifton, Illinois. MR. CLAUDE SMITTER Mr. Claude Smitter is one of the three remaining F enger teachers who was on our staff when the present building first opened in 1926. He is also one of the three World War I veterans still teaching at F enger. He was appointed to install the course of Careers and Self-Appraisal when it was first introduced into the Chicago Public School system, and continued teaching this subject until it was withdrawn two years ago. In 1946 Mr. Smitter introduced our scholarship program, which has grown from three scholarships valued at S650 to an all time high of one hundred scholarships worth 836,302 per annum. 1949 proved to be a crucial point in the future of our Courier, and Mr. Smitter saved the day when he took over the sponsorship, along with his other duties. Now that he is retiring, we, the students of Fenger, want to thank him for everything he has done for us and wish him success and happiness in the years to come. 17

THO E H0 HAVE ERVED Xi.. w. my ' P ,1,, Q6 QL. lg LJHQD xx- , lf' Mr. Mumford, one of our most popular math teachers, came to Fenger in 1934 from Austin High. Possessing a rich teaching background, he received his BA degree from Allegheny College in Pennsylvania, and then an MA from the University of Chicago. Besides having taught math, Mr. Mumford served as Boys, Counsellor, Class Rank Sponsor, and Chairman of the Math Dept. Indeed, he has been a very loyal and conscientious teacher. His hobbies, painting and astronomy, will undoubtedly take up most of his time in retirement. Thus, Mr. Mumford, both faculty and students wish you the best of health and happiness in future years and hope you will look back at your years at Fenger with both a sense of pride and fulfillment.
