i 35 COUNSELING with one ot his home room pupils, Mr. Molander studies her report card hoping that his suggestions will give incentive for improvement. Graduate This teacher's personality had none ot the sac- charine sweetness which satiates so quickly and be- comes boring so soon. His was that acid tartness which inspires, sometimes angers, and irritates, but also brings out the best in the student mind. Gener- ations of graduate engineers return to testify to the ability of this man. An enthusiastic follower ot athletics and long time coach, Mr. Molander attended all sports events in the high school. The buzz that started the basketball games and the gun resounding at the track meets originated from the hand of Mr. Mo- lander. Roger and Earl, his twin sons, graduate this year with high honors, and their father retires with equal honors. Hisposition will be filled, but Room 212 will never be the same for Mr. Molander had his own unique characteristics. LECTURES were an important part ot his math classes giving students the background tor their daily assign ments.

UNI UE in the annals of Marinette High School is the retirement of a distinguished faculty member, vtr. Molander, and the simultaneous graduation of his twin sons Roger and Earl. MR JOHN A MOLANDER I ln an era when conformity is the greatest of virtues, the independent personality of Mr. John A. Molander towered conspicuously on the educational scene. Long before the Russian Sputnik sparked the American renaissance in education, Mr. Molander, with the single mindedness of the dedicated man, stood with the ostracized minority which believed scholarship was the chief goal in education. His purpose never wavered--in his classes one learned mathematics. One had to learn, Mr. Molander willed it so--and his was a strong will. Never satis- fied, he strove for the perfection which can be ap- proached, but never attained. Mr. Molander co- joled and threatened, pushing always toward the ultimate end--more knowledge for his students.
