THE FACULTY Vividly and convincingly does the faculty exemplify the theme of the 1952 Chatterbox for its members daily present in classroom, in laboratory, and in shops the Here . . . the There . . . and the Everywhere. Here . . . in the classrooms. Chemistry teaches us the power of com- pressed gases: corks are shot at unsuspecting students by the use of dry ice gas. In English, we are taught the truth of Shakespeare's immortal words: brevity is the soul of wit. How to measure buildings and towers is taught to us in trigonometry when we learn the use of a transit. Quiet finally comes to a Latin party when a rule is enforced that limits all speaking to the Latin language. History makes us realize that today's events, since they are merely outgrowths of the past, can be judged by past events. Th87'e . . , from the alma mater of our teachers. Westminster College methods are imbibed by our Triple Trio in choir. Anecdotes from Bread Loaf School of English keep us smiling in English. Plaudits go to Colorado College of Education which provides our boys with a guiding hand while Ripon College is responsible for another of our administrators. St. Olaf College, San lose State College, Stout Institute, University of California . . . all represented by our home economics department. Our dramatic talent in the Silver Masque is finely polished thru the teachings presented by the Pasadena Playhouse. E7Je1'ytwhe1'6 . . .thru the world travels of our teachers we too visit old coffee houses of England and see Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford-on-Avon. By the borders of Belgium during the First World War and in search of chem- icals and minerals thru Canada we travel vicariously with our science teach- ers. Tales of geographical sights from never-forgotten memories of the British Isles are made vivid for us. Mexico and Cuba bring us tales of Latin America color and dash. Memories of our nation's capital linger . . . memories that never will be forgotten. Off to Europe, 'round the world . . . a survey is made for us thru the eyes of our instructors. F5

As each of us recognizes high spiritual values. and as each of us practices the homely virtues of honesty, integ- rity, and basic intelligence, so do we determine the level of pub- lic morality in government, in business, and in society. The influ- ences oi Fond du Lac students will be felt in far places, and others will also make their contribution here. BCY W. THIEL, President Fond du Lac Board of Education 44
