FACULTY Arriving in school on September 7, we came to the assembly that we had his usual jokes and laughs before finally making the students get down to business. Good old E. P. The girls not taking shop went to advanced home economics to find Miss lda E. Ratzlaff back again for her second year. Miss Ratzlaff is a teacher with a lot of knowl- edge and is eager to have her students learn. During the last period most of the girls trod off to physical educa- tion and found a little brunette, Miss Virginia Trow- bridge, as the teacher. A pleasing personality makes ev- ery one like her and want to know her. She usually can be seen with her friend, Miss Eva Lee. After a few re- marks on our conduct, we were dismissed, and on the way out stopped to have a few words with Paul, the jani- tor. What would school be without him? After Christmas, Mr. Strutzel, our principal, left us, and'Mr. Fauskin, who is very highly respected by everyone, took the job as principal, and a new teacher, Mr. Seedorf, joined the faculty. The faculty of i948-i949 is an ambitious one and has improved many conditions and started many activi- ties in H.H.S. SNA S had sat in for five long years, only to find four new teachers looking us over. After giving them the going over, we looked around and saw fa- miliar faces such as E. P. Levine, C. J. Fauskin, I. E. Ratzlaff, J. R. Hukee, and the good old janitor, Paul Reitz. After enrolling and talking over the summer, we went to our first class of Social Science to find Mr. Strutzel, the principal, as our teacher. He gave us his ideas on racial prejudice, Democrats and Republicans, inci- dentally, he predicted a Dewey victory. Being shaky in the knees, we rushed from his class eager to find out what the English teacher was like. iWe already noticed his hand and found no ring, so we knew he wasn't married, but thought he was engaged because he wasn't flirting with the young blonde lMiss Leel, and the young brunette iMiss Trowbridgel. We listened intently while he told us about the great changes he was going to make in the English class. iFrankly, we still haven't noticed any changesl After getting our morale boosted by Mr. Whiting, the class split, some going to biology and a few girls going to stenography Il. The ones taking biology found that wonderful masculine man, C. J. Fauskin, who is still coach of an undefeated football team, an outstanding basketball team, track and baseball teams. The girls taking shorthand found a young blond fresh from college, who proved not only to be a good teacher, but a likeable person as well. Coming back from noon hour, we had a speech in the assembly from Mr. Hukee before classes. Naturally, as someone has to, he laid down the rules and made known his authority to the new students in school. The boys and two girls iguess who?l went to shop and received a very hearty wel- come from E. P. Levine. Of course, Mr. Levine was still his jolly self and PAUL REITZ: University of Hard Knocks Janitor. r I , IDA E.
