1919 1' R A NSCEN1) E N T A L I S T 1919 a particular fondness for red ink. In spite of this peculiarity Miss Yackle is very popular among her students. Miss Ream came to us a week late and although at first we considered her a beginner we soon learned that, she had four years of High School experience and was not ashamed to tell her. age. She teaches Seniors in particular English, Economics, (’ivies, or U. S. History and Juniors English. Is it any wonder she is accused of sectionalism? Miss Ream has an unlimited supply of school spirit, even cutting Psychology class one Friday night to attend a basket ball game, thereby setting a bad example for students who play “hookey”. She is a member of the Red Ink Club, as Senior test papers, themes, and book reports testify. A is for annual, our school’s delight, Best of all books, satisfaction in sight.

1919 T R A NSC E N 1) E NTALIS T 1919 .MISS REAM. Things are seldom what they seem Except our Helen Ream— Sarcasm, wit, pop eyes and bangs. That is our Helen Ream. As Senior Advisor this class she has guided. You understand, our Helen Ream While other classes feel slighted By Senior Class Mother, Miss Ream. MR. THACKER. If you had a thousand ears you’d hear no more. Than our dear W. P. For every time we talk or laugh, there in the door Stands our dear W. P. If in his high esteem you wish to stand Be honest as our dear W .P. But don’t forget that now a daddy grand Is our dear W. P. X. T. H. S. FACULTY. W hen school started in September we had, besides the Freshies, some new faculty members in our midst. Mr. Thacker had changed his official position from Supt. to Prin. He reigns supreme the first two periods of the day and tries to instil geometiy exercises into the Sophs and a few other selects. Next he teaches physiology to an odd bunch of flunkers, and bright students who wish to carry five subjects. The last period of the morning, when not otherwise engaged, he assists in teaching Algebra I. Rarely do we have opening exercises but when we do Mr. Thacker's pencil helps us keep perfect time in singing our little ditties. In his spare moments of the afternoon he teaches book-keeping to a large Freshmen class and through all his trials and trouble he remains patient to the end. Miss Ellington, the assistant, principal, came to us with several years of experience in the Cairo High School. She teaches Science and Mathematics and never loses her smile even when the whole Senior class fails to pass a Physics test. Miss Ellington keeps the record and quite often appears before the Assembly with a long list of culprits who “must bring excuses at once.” Mrs. Eekhoff, o' r Latin teacher, has a favorite expression which she uses each morn: “Let’s have it quiet, the bell has rung. Eventually, why not now? So the Study Hall quiets down after a few taps of her pencil on tne desk. Latin I is very common with three classes, but Cicero is granted to a select few—five in fact. Mrs. Eekhoff is loved by all, and what better recommendation could anyone want? Miss Schenker is spending her first year as a “school marm” with us, having come as an ’18 graduate from Illinois Wessleyan. She came to teach Domestic Science, but found the new school and equipment wanting. She stayed, however, and is teaching Sewing, French and History. Aside from school affairs Miss Schenker is quite noticeably interested in the farm and letter waiting. Miss Yackle from the beginning has had charge of the Freshmen room and we need never worry about our ‘.babies” for she is always very solicitous concerning their special welfare. This may account for the many half holidays they earn. She is kept very busy teaching English to the Freshies and Sophs as well as History to one division. Her returned themes show PAGE FIVE
