Beside Us to Guide Us . . . She's our type -ing teacher, and sten- ography and secretarial practice take up her school hours. Friday nights quite regularly found her sponsoring school dances. Her in- genuity has helped us to produce prize win- ning Locks for the past three years. At station LOCK we don't even have to men- tion her name, but for the newcomers who may have just tuned in, it's Mildred Krusa CB.E.l, of course. When Coach Lindberg explains pigskin plays, it is a case of do as I do, for during his college days, he was a fightin' lllini star. Adolescent Charles Atlases build their muscles in his physical education classes. A well-known figure on the campus is El- mer, the physiology dummy, whom he in- troduces to the freshmen. His best known alias is Moose, but Curly is a reliable substitute. Caring for the sick is one of the practical courses in our curriculum which smiling Mary Cf. Mahoney tR.N.l so pleasantly teaches. Once in a While we'll give her a thought in future years as we raise our families. Pep personifies Eva M. Olson CB.A.l in her girls' physical training classes. lf mermaids are no longer a novelty at Lockport High, it is due to her instructions. A lover of sports, she has conveyed this enthusiasm to many of us with well-planned G.A.A. activities. As dean of girls she deals with the ques- tions of feminine rights. Beware the dangers of the split infinitive and prepare to suffer the tragedy of Ham- let as you enter Iohn L. Pence's tB.A.l jun- ior and senior English classes. Future journ- alists gain practical experience as he di- rects their activities in the publication of The Times.

Plorice Cherry CB.A.l teaches us that the United States is a grand place to live in her American and world history classes. Her frequent quizzes keep us on our toes. For our second term lessie Eggman CB.A.l, a neighbor from Ioliet, taught us the prac- tical side of maintaining a home in her food classes. The latest in new spring outfits were the efforts of her costume design and cloth- ing classes. Manana may have been on the hit parade, but it was no excuse in Lucile Em- mon's CPh.B., M.A.D Spanish or French class- es. American literature was her specialty in the English field. CNot photographedl. Edward Elink's CB.A., M.A.l civics and economic classes gave future Senator Clag- horns a chance in senate classroom ses- sions. As our dean of boys he coped with problem children. As director of athletics he arranged the sports activities of the school. Even though this should have kept him busy, he conducted a water safety class after school. Alice Gleason CB.S.l, better known to us as Miss Duggan, took her sophomore histo- ry class globe trotting, and her senior Eng- lish class did a little imaginary travelling as they studied modern literature. Her fresh- man classes concentrated on reading and writing. Helping the Lock literary staff to develop a flair for writing plus co-sponsor- ing the Iunior Red Cross kept her busy. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Lorina Goerz CB.A., Ph.M.l really threw life ropes to many of us in algebra and geome- try. Teaching general science and co-spon- soring the lunior Bed Cross made spare time an unknown quantity to her. What would our future l-lepburns and Barrymores do without the assistance of Al- ex L. Iohnsonius CB.A., M.A.l in the class plays? Latin is not a dead language when he teaches it. His interesting anecdotes and stories in world history added a pleasant note to many of our sophomore years. TOP: Mrs. Cherry locates an historical city for Chuckie Aumiller. Isabel Grepares receives sewing machine instructions from Mrs. Eggman. Mr. Flink explains an economic theory to Bob Pesavento. BOTTOM: Mrs. Gleason and Gilbert Schade relax for a moment during a make-up period. Miss Goerz explains a complicated geometric problem to Mary Boehme. Mr. Iohnsonius translates a Latin passage for Iohnny Bachmann-or is it Greek?

School can be pleasant if you are in Frank l. Rogers' CB.S., M.S.l world history or physi- cal training classes. His friendly smile is a handshake. An ex-army captain, he has no trouble keeping the boys in line. Besides he gets plenty of homework with those two husky sons of his. As we timidly entered the library as fresh- men, Margaret C. Shepherd kept us from developing a library psychosis as she pa- tiently helped us locate the books. She and Thackeray agree that Man's best friends are books. The Woodpeckers at Lockport High just peck out their melodies in William H. Sterling's CBS., M.S.l wood shop classes. ln A Little Book Shop he spends many extra hours supplying student and faculty needs. Students soon learn that his name fits his character. The best modern techniques are employ- ed by Margaret L. Taylor CB,S.D in her fresh- man and sophomore English classes. She spun the platter for us many times with re- cordings of popular American folk songs, Orson Welles' Iulius Caesar, and other classic recordings. Under her guidance the juniors gave a much talked about prom. lust listing Paul White's CB.S., M.A.l class- es prove he's a busy man. Civics, econom- ics, business training, bookkeeping, com- mercial law, and commercial arithmetic take up his teaching hours. Sparks flew as Crris S. Young CB.S., B.A., M.A.l taught our boys the fundamentals of electricity. Mechanical drawing is another of his specialties. His initials form his nick- name Osy. Gleadis Young CB.S.J brought to us the practical experience which she had gained as a home maker when she joined our facul- ty for the first semester to teach the domes- tic science classes. Her girls missed her cheery ways when she returned to inactive duty the second semester. And now the teachers doff their academic caps and prepare for those soothing sum- mer days during which patience aplenty is stored up for Lockport High's new crop. And so the old professors sign off until station FALL checks them in again in September. TOP HOW: Miss Shepherd checks out a book for Bob Shoop. Robert Carver observes Mr. Ster- ling's technique in jigsaw operation. Miss Taylor plays American Folk Ballads on phonograph for Robert Moraski. SECOND ROW: Mr, White checks Claritta Rutkiewicz's trial balance. Mr. Young demonstrates reversing switch to lohn Reed. Alma Barnes and Mrs. Young experiment with a new recipe.
