NE, I Agfa? MR. J. F. MCKEEVER It is with a good deal of regret, and yet with the pleasure that must accompany a job well done, that The Tattler in this issue bids farewell to j. F. McKeever, head of the Department of Manual Arts. Coming to North Division twenty-eight years ago in the in- fancy of our school, he has been one of the stalwarts who helped to mold its policies and its future. Meticulous in his demands for excellent work in his department, he early achieved the respect and admiration of his colleagues. Many of his pupils have been placed in positions of responsibility in industry, and there is a record that one of the largest industrial firms in the city has always been willing to accept a recruit from his classes without question. ' In the building, Mr. McKeever was always a champion of law and order. To him, rules honestly made should be honestly enforced, and in this he set a standard which was respected and appreciated by faculty and pupils alike. The Wisconsin Journal of Education pays the following tribute to Mr. McKeever in the April issue: The 'journal' search for unusual teaching records has brought to light a fine record of professional service on the part of F. McKeever, North Division High School, Milwaukee. Mr. Mc- Keever says that he started teaching at seventeen, and has piled up a record of more than fifty years of teaching, in ,most every kind of school: as teacher in one-room rural schools, principal of village graded schools, principal of city graded schools, and for the past twenty-eight years a teacher at North Division High School . . . 'and am still going strong' 'Them was the days' when Mr. McKeever started pedding. His first assignment netted him thirty per month for a term of three months, and his teaching was so successful that the follow- ing year he got a raise of S2 per month. 'There was no age limit recognized for pupils in those good, old days,' reports Mr. McKeever. 'Mature, bewhiskered young men attended during the winter months-and children three years of age were often sent to school with their older sisters so that their mothers would be relieved of this extra burden on their busy days. Compulsory attendance was unheard of. Attendance was more a matter of convenience' North Division will miss him much. May we express the hope that his retirement will bring with it the rewards of leisure he so justly deserves. 937 I5
