l Mr Crissey finds Lannabxs sl ort or tall MR. DON CARTER- Vocational agriculture, F u t u r e Farmer sponsor, part-time school, adult night-school. Iowa State College had Mr. Carter in tow most of the summer of 1943, but he 'snook away long enough to get in a few good licks on a farm. He co-operated on the Food for Victory and Farming for Victory programs. The summer sports were pic- nics, shows and college events, with fall came the athletic games. Mr. Carter is one of the coin collecting enthusiasts. MR. WAIJTER E. CRISSEY- Physics, general science, biology, chemistry, athletics Qfootball, track, junior-high bas- ketballj. During the summer Mr. Crissey proved himself a clothing salesman, supervised detasseling crews, cultivated a garden and a hemp field. He served as chairman of the County Physical Fitness program and as a member of the Food for Pro- duction committee. The illness of Mrs. Crisscy introduced both of the Crisseys to the great wonders of Rochester, Minnesota. MR. JOHN FELLOVVS-NVorld and American history, civics, economics, junior high football. Last summer DeKalb found a good detasseling inspector in Mr. Fellows. When not working with his gang, he donned a chic little cap and some crusty-looking coveralls, and with paint and brush brightened up the coats of some of the village homes. Mr. Fellows super- vised the various high school bond and stamp sales. A bit of fishing and pheasant hunting got into the schedule somehow, fishing and pheasant hunting got into the schedule somehow. MISS ALMA JOHNSON- Algebra, geometry, arithme- tic, sophomore sponsor. Miss johnson housecleaned her very spacious city abode as soon as school closed last spring. Then she drove into the country to help her sister with the house- work and to assist in feeding the busy farm folk.

lin-Pilots MISS ANNA ALTMAN-Normal training, freshman English, sponsor of: Pedagogical club, D. of D., freshmen, news program. Last summer Miss Altman visited the Amana colony and called on friends in Cedar Rapids. With this ex- ception, she spent vacation from school work in fighting the Weeds in a garden, winning out, and accordingly giving her- self another job-canning. Sewing, mending, and Red Cross duties also demanded time. Miss Altman kept fit mentally and physically by reading books and magazines and taking walks. MR. O. CLIFFORD ANDERSON-I n s t r u mental music, business training. When summer came the older band members went to work, but thc sprouts kept Mr. Anderson in tune. When not busy with music classes, he donned his overalls and work shirt, and went carpentering, remodeling first his own house, and later joining up with a construction duo. Two gardens challenged his ability with the hoe, and 200 chickens cackled, If you feed us, we'll feed you. In March Mr. Anderson resigned and joined the ranks of the farmers. MRS. ARDIS BOYD-Vocal music fgrades and high schooll. Last summer Mrs. Boyd served the public in the capa- city of a telephone operator and helped with Red Cross dress- ings. During the first semester and into the second, she had a full schedule of vocal music. At the end of February, Mr. O. Clifford Anderson, the director of instrumental music, re- signed to join the ranks of the agriculturists. Then Mrs. Boyd, relieved of some of her grade schedule, took over the band and small instrumental groups, and carried on till school closed. MISS LUCILE BRYAN-English, grammar, Spanish, Latin, dramatics, co-sponsor of Wildcat Wailf' sponsor of The Register, and the Lost and Found department. If a person can't travel, why should she not enjoy the landscape at home? That is just what Miss Bryan thought, and with her tools she set about last summer to do some carpentering and digging to produce a landscaped garden. Then a brisk swim did things for the tired muscles. Next came some good reading, and a substantial part of that was in Spanish-just for fun. llll Miss Altman finds tomatoes on queer vines Musicman Andei-son's saw puts on the lone Mrs. Boyd's overseas mail has good news. Miss Bryan takes off with radio artists.

Coach Jones explains a sprained muscle Ill S Chef Myers and cooks plan the hot lunch uq Miss Peterson really did run a combln MR. VICTOR JONES-Grade shop, physical education, athletics fhasketball, football, baseballj, N. T. agriculture. Mr. Jones was a genuine farmer last summer, helping his father with his problems, in addition to managing an eighty on his own accord. There never was an athletic director who didn't enjoy fishing, and this one was no exception. To keep in extra spiffy trim during the winter, Mr. Jones did a bit of bowling. The draft threatened in April, got him in May. MISS RUTH MEYER-Smith-Hughes home manage- ment, adult night-school, junior co-sponsor. It was a Victory garden, sewing, knitting, cooking and, quoting Miss Meyer, whatnot Qean't we hear her say it?J that took time last summer. Fall brought the regular school duties, together with the extras, such as, Red Cross knitting and sewing, and the hot lunch project. Shows created a little color. It is whispered -there was a trip te Chicago. But, hush, don't tell on her. MISS MIRIAM PETERSON- Bookkeeping, t y p i n g, shorthand, co-sponsor of Wildcat Wail. By way of serving as a delegate to a National church conference, Miss Peterson got herself a trip and a week's visit at Minneapolis last summer. Otherwise she did gardening, housework, office work and, if the snapshot tells the truth, some farming. Miss Peterson finds rest from the regular routine of school work or household cares in reading and sewing, or in erocheting and embroidering. MRS. BERNICE SMITH-juiiior high English, geog- raphy, law, business training. One teacher after another dropped off the faculty roll, and at midyear, Mrs. Smith kindly came in to stuff a gap here, fill a rip there. As she had been in the system before, her appearance on the teaching force was indeed most welcome. Mrs. Smith is one of those capable persons who uses .i pen, pushes a lawnmower, and wields a Cooking spoon-all with equal efficiency. Nephew john helps.
