MISS MARION MILLER MRS. ARLENE BLOCK MISS JILL ERICKSON Library and Journalism Home Economics Business Education Vocationalists Attend To keep informed about new trends in the book in- dustry, Miss Miller attended the University of Minnesota last summer. Besides keeping track of the present twenty seven hundred books, she selects and processes two to three hundred new books each year. Courses in methods and clothing introduced me to new ideas and techniques, Mrs. Block, home economics instructor, recalls of her summer session at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin. Food preservation, sewing, marriage and family living, and cookery were studied this year. Fingers flew--or did they--over the keys as students learned to type letters, centering and tabulation prob- lems, and manuscripts. Miss Erickson kept her students busy with one and five minute speed charts which allowed them to compete with themselves and their classmates. Here we find Nancy Deischer giving a few sewing tips to Mary Grotophorst and Elaine Bannon. Concentration seems to be La Vonne Markley's theme; but Marie Wilhelm, a little unsure as to which key to hit, takes a glance at the keyboard.

English at Work '’Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”, a quote from Shakespeare, was studied along with Chaucer and Milton, working up to the modern English literature. Mrs. Marquardt and Miss Mills were the instructors for sen- ior English. American literature, from colonial times to the pres- ent, was included in Junior English, as well as outside reading of American novels. Juniors also had a speech unit, all classes capably being taught by Miss Bredeson. In Mrs. Paulhe’s sophomore English classes, em- phasis of enjoying literature and poetry is channeled through familiarization of such classics as JULIUS CAESAR and SILAS MARNER. She spent her last sum- mer working toward her master's degree at Wisconsin State College at Superior. Freshman English included a literature unit on mystery, a unit on IVANHOE, and units on mythology and entymology. Miss Bredeson and Mrs. Pauihe re- quired the use of the READER'S DIGEST for supple- mental work. In our language lab all four language skills; hearing, speaking, reading, and writing were taught to an ac- ceptable level of proficiency. Mrs. Meyer felt it was necessary to attend summer school at the University of Wisconsin the past three summers to keep up with the changing methods. She recently attended a ten-week in- vitational institute sponsored by the NDEA. ENGLISH TEACHERS: Mrs. Leilani Marquardt, Miss Alice Bredeson, and Mrs. Bernice Pauihe.
