The Spider Web, 1920 Macomb High School Our Faculty Miss Peterson is another new teacher. lien she entered the halls of M. H. S. the first time, one student asked another. “A Sen ior?” and received the reply. No. a Junior. I think. How absurd. Miss Peterson finished her Junior year years ago. She has won the hearts of many especially Seniors. Mr. Jack is our instructor in Higher Mathematics. He is a graduate of Illinois State Normal. His bright smile invariable brings the kinks out of your ill nature and sends you singing Imp pile the rest of your way. Miss Templin. instructor in Social Sciences, has fast won a place in our school. She has shown herself very well trained in her line of work, the Seniors can testify, as they have been under her instruction in various classes during the year. Miss Randolph is another one who is doing her very best for us. It seems as if we have been espeeiallv blessed this year in having a complete, up-to-date ami enthusiastic faculty. Miss F.llison. our Knglish and Physical Training instructor, was one of our new teachers this year. She lias proven a very fine and accomplished instructor in her line of work. Miss Cordell is also one of our new faculty members. She is loved by all her classes and held in the highest esteem by all the M. H. S. students. Mr. Koch, one of the alumni, could not stay awav from his Alma Mater, has returned as an instructor in the Junior High School. He is one of the most (mpular instructors in M. H. S. If you doubt this, just take a peep at his class room door morning, noon and night. Mr. Motter came into our midst, smiling and mistaken at first for a classmate. As time went on we gre w to revere and honor him very highly. He was our athletic coach during the foot hall and basket ball seasons. The team may attribute much of their success in winning so many victories to Mr. Motter. He also taught our Junior High School, readin’, writin. and spellin'. M. H. S. regretted Mr. Motter’s leaving very much. Mr. Graham came to fill tin- vacancy made by Mr. Mutter’s leaving. He is very well qualified in his work. Altho new at the vocation of coaching, we are confident of his success. Mrs. Hunt is our new Art instructor. She is very efficient along this line of work and we earnestly hojK she will remain with us. FouMmo

The Spider Web, iqvo Macomb High School Our Faculty 'Thnnka for the sympothira ye have ahtncn, The xcorda of frirndahip, comfort and aaaiaiance. IIK Macomb High School in still fortunate in retaining its most able faculty. Words can but feebly express our appreciation of their noble and untiring efforts to promote the welfare of each and every student; to awaken in the student a knowledge of his own powers and a sympathetic response to the claims and beckoning of the Helds of knowledge lying about on every hand. We feel that they have been sympathetic and interested in the students to an unusual degree. Their appreciation of every honest effort has been a constant encouragement to the timid and doubting. We cannot come in contact with such noble lines without being the better for it without receiving a clearer faith, a larger hope, and a better understanding of the |M ssibilities and the meaning of life. We will realise more and more, as time passes, that the members of the faculty are true teachers; and we. the members of the Senior Class, unite in wishing them many years of successful work. The Faculty owe much of their success to Mr. I.ynch ami Mr. Wriglcy. our su| crintcndcnt and principal. We have, under their direction, grown into an institution of harmony and discipline, with a school spirit of which we may well In- proud. Mr. I.vnch came to us from Davenport, Iowa. He is well qualiHcd educationally, having 1). I), and A. B. degrees; ami having Im-cii elected a member of the Alpha chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa society of Iowa. It was thru his strenuous efforts that the teachers are to receive an increase in their salaries. He has accomplished a great deal in bringing the Maromli Public Schmds up to a high standard and they arc now pros| cring. .Mr. Wriglcy, our principal, was also with us again this year and we earnestly ho|M‘ he will remain with the Macoinh High for many years to come. The Seniors of '20 owe a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Wriglcy. for it was thru his efforts that the Macomb High Sclioo) was placed on the accredited list of the L of I. and also the Northwestern University. Misses Horton. Fuller. Foster. Langcnstcin. McCollum. Pack, and Holden and Mrs. Walker and Mr. Bugg came back to M. H. S. again this year. They are well known to all of us thru their former years of teaching here. Mrs. Hungcrford mothers a part of our flock in History. She is so quiet and demure that it took us a while to get acquainted. Mr. Rodgers is new—terribly so but we have become acquainted with him. We have found him kind. good and considerate. Miss Harkness drifted with her great big smile like a sunbeam into our midst. She is our advisor and we drink to her health a toast, for she is jolly. gcaal and wise. Miss Dorset! is our Botany and Commercial Geography ins true tor. We were not as well acquainted with her ns we would have liked to have been. Vet. here's to her success as a teacher in the Macomb High. Hiiftrm
