zrzfd.l YA r i ‘iiiM LuLmL Tjcvuy The following sketches present some little known facts about our well known faculty who have helped us so much with our work,both in and out of school this year. Mr. T. I. Priest is Superintendent of Plattsmouth City Schools. He obtained his A.B. degree from rtom- ingside College and his M.A. from the University of Iowa. Beforehe came to Plattsmouth, he taught in £ Wisner. Mr. Friest patiently puts up with our dashing in for the master key or when he finds his telephone is being used. Mr. Miles Eloe obtained his A.B. and M.B. degrees from Hastings College and the University of Nebraska. He is principal of Plattsmouth High School, teaches Coimercial Math and sponsors the Student Senate. His quite air of authority influences the actions of some of the more active members of the student body. When those who are in his Commercial Math class and get 100 per cent they obtain some publicity by having their name put on the blackboard. Miss Jessie Whalen is a graduate of the University of Nebraska y here she obtained her A.3.and M.A. degrees. Her classes include American History, and Retailing. She is Dean of Girls, Vocational Director, and sponsor of this year1s Senior class. If you have any troubles go to her,and she will do her best to help you iron them out. She is kept very busy practicing the new visual aid program by showing many pictures to her classes and other classes. Miss Pearl Staats is a graduate of the University of Nebraska where she ma- jored in English and obtained her A.B. and M.A. degrees. She teaches .atin I and II, has charge of the Normal Training Department, Library and la English Supervisor. She served as sponsor of the Sophomore class this year. If you had happened to look into the Normal Training classes on some days , you would have been astounded at the actions of acme of the Junior and Senior girls. Some of the members of the class could be acting as teachers and the others would be taking the place of kindergarten pupils. Miss Staats can enforce discipline in the nicest way. Mrs. Pearl Mann received her A.B. from Kearney State Teacher s College. The subjects she teaches are Biology, Chemistry, and Trigonometry. Remember the day when the smell of rotten eggs filled the halls, that was the day the Chemistry class mixedhydrogen- sulphide. Prom all reports somebody is usually spilling acid on laboratory days. In the fall the Biology classes make collections of In- sects and leaves. Some of the butterfly col- lections are espoclally beautiful. When the collections are all turned In they are ar- ranged so everyone may see them. Sounds like a lot of fun doesn't It?
