v If you are in pursuit of happiness, you will find that it springs from work. The world as we know it today is the product of work-work with the hands or work with the brain. Work is not a form of oppression or of punishment, but it is the fundamental activity of people. Our industrial history is rich in illustra- tions of the happiness of men who began their life work at the very bottom of the scale to rise to posts of highest authority by their efforts and their own excellence. Remember that it is work which gives flavor to life and generates happiness. fi?-'Q fs- Y DARL T. FEELHAVER f nr Heller Education N. in his daily round of interviews. i'l-leading the system of the Independent School District, the Board of Education is constantly on its toes to provide the best edu- cational machinery for the several thousand pupils in Fort Dodge. Superintendent Harold bl. Williaiiis, in his first year, has kept the machine well-oiled and in excellent condi- tion. 'kThe other members of the group which governs Fort Dodge High are Prin- cipal Carl T. lfeelhaver and Vice-Principal Iired N. Cooper who have helped many stu- dents through the mill. As class after class passes on, success is evidenced by the growing record files in the office which give detailed accounts of the accomplishments of Dodger alumni and which have proved invaluable to employers and employees alike. In all their work these administrators have aimed toward developing good citizens for school, com- munity, and nation. 'fAnd now let us raise the Dodger flag on the year 1941.

Literature, 5peeeh,l1rama llehale and .Ieurnalism HARIKIET IJEMOREST, A.B. Those who have been in one of Miss Demorestis classes QEnglish 3 and Remedial Readingj or have known her in her capacity of assistant advisor for Student Council, appreciate most the tactful, meticulous way in which she handles her work. Realizing the importance of a well- balanced vocabulary, she urges students to use dictionaries constantly as an aid to cor- rectness in reading, writing, and speaking. RUTH Goooiucri A.B., M.A. Head of the department of English, Miss Goodrich super- vises all sophomore, junior, and senior courses. She believes that reading and expression are important, not only for themselves, but as the basis for all other learning. For this pur- pose thirty English classes meet daily to enjoy interesting and intensive study of various phases of this subject-composition, litera- ture, journalism, speech, debate, and drama. WILMA HAS'fIE, A.B. Both English and American Literature classes meet in Room 103. The model of a Shakespearean theater in the picture was made by a student during her study of the Elizabethcan drama, a feature of the first semester of English literature. Miss Hastie does not confine her activities to teaching alone, but has for seven years helped greatly in building Senior Girl Reserves. As one of the senior class advisors, she has super- vised class day programs and making of hun- dreds of yards of the symbolic daisy chain. Naomi LIEWEL1., A.B., M.A. Witli teaching English 3 and 4, coaching one-act plays, and directing Operetta dialogue, Miss Jewell, ever alive and alert, has little time to indulge in her favorite diversions. As one important fea- ture of her work ample opportunity is given to each student to develop his conversational ability, so that he may talk easily with others. Page 12
