SUP'T. E. J. ERICKSON Mr. E. J. Erickson has been the superintendent for the past twelve years. He also teaches general science III, geometry and physics at the present. Mr. Erickson attended part of his high school term at Northfield Academy but graduated from Montevideo High School. He attended St. Olaf College at Northfield for one year, the University of Minnesota from which he graduated, and took one year of post graduate work at the University of Minnesota and one year at the University of Southern California. His first year of teaching was at Nome, North Dakota in 1920-1921. For the following five years he taught school at St. Clair, Minnesota. After this five year period, he became the supe1'intendent of our school. In 1921 he married Miss. Evelyn Davison of North Dakota. They have two children, Joan, who is in the 7th and 8th grades, and Jacqueline, who is in the 3rd grade. Mr. Erickson saw nine of us seniors enter our first year of school life twelve years ago and will this year witness our leaving this school. He is held in high esteem by the seniors as well as by the rest of the high school. It is quite obvious that most of us seniors in our future life will wish that we could have Mr. Erickson to advise us as he so often has done in the past four years. The senior class of 1940 extend their heartiest thanks to Mr. Erickson for every- thing that he has done for our benefit, and we wish him the best of luck in his future years.
