Til E XIXOXIA OUR FACULTY Look sit the beaming faces on the preceding page and you are introduced to our faculty. Through their efforts and slid they have made it possible for us to accomplish our work as Seniors. First comes Mr. Johnson, our Superintendent and County Superintendent-Fleet. It has been largely through his untiring efforts during the past four years tlnit the Nixon Township High School has become what it is today, lie is a graduate of the Dixon College receiving B. S. degree. He has also done two years of Post Graduate work in the State Normal University. It seems that his favorite hobby is to pound violently on the blackboard when trying to impress the principles of Algebra on his young students. Next you will see Mr. Goodwin, our Principal, who has been with us the past year. He has received bis education in the State Normal University. Asa science teacher lie has successfully made himself a credit to the N. T. H. S. As you gaze upon the picture of Miss Gibson, you might wonder how she can remember the tenses and conjugations of so many different languages as she is the teacher of Knglish, Latin and French. Through a great many questions we have learned that she also knows the Spanish language. She has been with us for two years and we have learned through her teachings that she is well qualified to teach the different languages. She is a graduate of the John Marshall High School of Chicago, and also a graduate of the University of Illinois in 1917, receiving her A.B. degree in that year. Miss Gregory, who is our History teacher, is very well qualified for her position. She graduated from the James Millikin University of Decatur in 1917, receiving her A.B. degree. This, not satisfying her thirst for knowledge, she again went to college and received her A.M. degree in 1918. Although this is her first year of teaching in the N. T. 11. S., she has performed her duties in such a way as to be a credit to the school as well as to herself. Last, but not least, we turn our attention upon the picture of Miss Swain, our Music Supervisor. Look at her! Doesn’t her very face reveal tin music that is surely singing in her soul? Her work in the high school has been appreciated very much during the past year. Class of 1919.
