Ah his smile and sincere friendliness to all, make mr. kupke a popular figure around campus, no more capable man could have been chosen to fulfill the chairmanship of the religion depart- ment. mr. bullinger is our general science and biology instructor. his warm and friendly personality is not only present in himself, he also carries it over to his students and into all of his classes daily. mrs. beck, school secretary, and our business man- ager, mrs. dierker, are familiar and welcome peo- ple in our school office. it is to these two women to whom much of the efficiency of the school can be accredited.
