The High School Faculty. Mr. B. J. Walters. Our genial Superintendent, Mr. Walters, came to us last year from Indiana, (but is unfortunate incident should not be held up against him.) He received his ele¬ mentary education in the public schools of Wood county, Ohio, and obtained his A. B. degree from a classical course at the Tri-State College, Angola, Indiana. He is striv¬ ing towards a degree at Columbia College, Hew York City, having spent several sum¬ mer terms at that institution. He has had many years experience as an instructor, having taught district school three years, two years Principal of the McGill, Ohio. High school, one and one-half years Principal at Berne, Indiana, and five and one-half years Superintendent at Warren, Indiana. While at Berne he formed the acquaint¬ ance of Prof. Winans, our former Superintendent, who was at that time Superintend¬ ent of the schools in that city. Mr. Edward E. Robbins. Instructor of Mathematics and Science and Principal of the High school. Mr. Robbins is a graduate of Warsaw, Indiana, High school and University of Indiana. He has had considerable experience in teaching, (the Momence students being respon¬ sible for not a little of it.) He has taught four years in district schools, one year in Marengo High school, one year as Principal of the Lexington, Illinois High school and one year as Principal at Clinton, Illinois. Mr. Robbins is a clean-cut man in every sense of the word, and has the respect of the students. The Board of Education has done well in re-electing him for another year. Miss La Rue Dayton. Miss LaRue Dayton, instructor in English and History, is a native of Paris, Illi¬ nois, where she was graduated from the High school, after which she attended the University of Illinois, receiving her A. B. degree in 1909. The following year she en¬ tered upon her career as a teacher, having filled the English and History position at Georgetown for two successive years. “When the law can stop the blades of grass from growin’ as they grow, And when the leaves in summer time their verdure dare not show, Then I will change the color I wear in my carbeen, But till that day, please God, I’ll stick to wearin’ of the green.” Miss Margaret Vanden. Miss Margaret Vanden, instructor in Latin and German, graduated from the High school at Gallipolis, Ohio, and then attended the Episcopal Boarding School in Ten¬ nessee. She took her A. B. and Pd. B. degrees from Hillsdale, Michigan. Thence she transferred the scene of he r labors to Stamburg, Michigan, where she remained two years, coming to Momence in the fall of 1911. Miss Vanden will probably be with us the coming year.
