ENLIVEN CLASSES Training for future positions on the school paper begins early in Mound, as can be witnessed by the fact that many junior high students took an interest in writing for their” page in the tri-weekly publication. In charge of these eager journalists was Miss Helen Dcgen, English and General Language instructor. Miss Degen was also very active in Junior Red Cross work throughout the year. She is shown here with Virginia Seguine, Trudy Martin, Ruth Inman, Joan Legus, Joan Haddorff, and Carolyn Gooder. First aid is taught in the ninth and twelfth grade health classes. Not only is this a very useful subject in that it can be used all through one’s life but it is an interesting subject, particularly since the war placed so much emphasis on preparedness and civilian defense. MISS HELEN I. DEGEN—General Language, Seventh Grade English, Junior High Broadcaster Advisor, Seventh Grade Advisor, Junior Red Cross Faculty Delegate. MR. IRVING KEPKE—Junior and Senior High Shop. MR. GEORGE M. OHMAN—Seventh and Eighth Grade General Mathematics, Social Studies, Orchestra, Freshman Class Advisor. Not pictured—MR. HARRY H. BOCKHAUS—Junior and Senior High Shop, Wrestling Coach.

In the spring the group took part in the district festival. Miss Hehn is shown below directing the chorus in a daily rehearsal. A more extensive visual education program was put into effect in our school during the past year. More numerous and instructive classroom films were offered for our education and entertainment. Several full length features were also shown to the entire student body. Mr. Harold Rasmussen had charge of the program. It was his job to choose the weekly films and keep all the equipment in repair. He is shown below with several of his student helpers—Clayton Miller, Robert Lee, Ward Whalen, and Bob Kadeshka.

There one finds books for English reports or mysteries to occupy one’s free time. The large selection of literature in our library contains 520 volumes of fiction, 1200 volumes of non-fiction, 180 volumes of reference material. The library also subscribes to some 46 magazines.
