Our teachers and administration have meant more to us than just classroom educators. As the year progressed, we grew to know them better and appreciate them more. They gave us challenges and encouraged us in our personal interests as well as in our academic studies. After we have graduated, we will appreciate even more the help they have given us.

Mr. Gerald Bolmeier, counselor; Miss Evelyn Mo, assistant principal, Latin; and Mrs. Barbara Drolet, speech therapist. PMNClPfll FACULTY Us. Mildred Nelson, English, Spanish; Miss Olg° Huebner, English; Mr. John Raymond, English, speech; Mis. Margaret Heinen, nglish, Latin; Miss Mary Phelan, English, journal! ™; Mr. Ernest DeSantis, English; Mrs. Eloise F.ck, Engl.sh, French. All of us know Miss Mo. If we haven't been in her Latin class we've been in her office at least one morning to have her sign an absence blank. Mr. Bolmier’s office is next to Miss Mo’s; that’s where all of us had counseling when we needed advice on school problems or future plans. Some of us also had extra help from our new speech therapist. Mrs. Drolet. Also new this year were two English teachers. Miss Heinen and Mr. DeSantis. Students in senior English this year couldn’t possibly forget Macbeth, especially when they had to memorize lines and in w several instances, scenes, which were presented in full costume on stage to the rest of the class. It wasn’t too long before the juniors began quoting lines from the “Thanntopsis,” and the sophomores had their first taste of memorizing “Idylls of the King.” Besides memorizing, we also read books, gave speeches, and wrote research papers. Miss Huebner's sophomores wrote notebooks containing figures of speech, granynar, and pronunciation snags; and Mrs. Pick's seniors compiled a notebook of essays, themes, and original contributions, together with the material covered in class. 9
