Some of the classes that were the most fun were home economics for the girls, and the shop classes for the boys. Some boys in wood shop made lamps from wood, while others in metal shop made wrought iron rails and utensils. Driver training was another fun class. The driver training car took a lot of punishment from hopeful future drivers, but it still was running at the end of the year. Mr. Milo Fowler, shop; Mr. Finer Anderson, driver training; Mr. Orion Peik, biology, wood shop. Mrs. Corrie Ober, secretary to the principal; Mrs. Ruby Barnes, secretary to the principal. Often we had been in the office, either getting passes, writing announcements in the bulletins, or giving club funds to Mrs. Ober for depositing. If we ever wanted to find someone, the office was usually the first place we went to. Or. if we needed supplies of some kind, they usually could be found there. 12 Mrs. Patricia Board, secretary to the superintendent; Mr. Robert Haig, business monager; Mrs. Harriet Gleason, secretary to the superintendent.

With the chemistry classes trying to blow up the school, the biology classes disecting frogs and taking nature hikes, and the trig, classes surveying the school grounds, we found enough things of interest in our science and math departments to keep us busy. These departments have grown so much that this year a new teacher, Mr. Hinkley, taught the overflow of chemistry and plane geometry students, and Mr. Morseth acquired higher algebra students for the first time. Mr. Bristol was kept busy with his two algebra and two solid geometry classes. For those who didn’t go on to solid geometry and trig., there was senior math from Mr. Millard to struggle with. Phy. ed. always had been fun. Although it is required for sophomores, many upper classmen took it as an extra subject. They did the usual things this year, including combined classes with the boys and girls during the dancing units. In the fall, they went outside and could be seen from the windows doing exercises and playing soccer, and in the spring they could be seen shooting at targets during their archery period. 11

Mr. Georgo - koch, supervising engineer; Mr. Orville Neutgens, engineering stoff; Mr. John Collins, engineering staff; Mr. Rudolph Kokesh, engineering staff. Mrs. Mary Geise, district nurse; Mrs. Margaret Nelson, secretary to the nurse. NOT PICTURED: Mrs. Christenson, district nurse. We have always been very dependent on the cooks and the janitors. We’ve especially realized the importance of the cooks third or fourth hour right before lunch, when we were the hungriest. Whenever we were locked out of a room, or whenever our lockers were jammed, the janitors were always there ready to help us. In the fall of the year we had histoplasmosis tests, and later on in the year we were given the usual diphtheria-tetanus and smallpox shots, if we needed them. The nurse plays an important part in our school, keeping detailed health reports on each student and arranging good health programs for us. Mrs. Adelino Koch, kitchen personnel; Mrs. Irma Johnson, kitchen personnel; Mrs. Katherine Young, kitchen personnel. 13
