The primary duty of this group of teachers is to give their students a more thorough knowledge of the English language. Freshman English is solely under the direction of Miss Ross, while Sophomore English is taught by Miss YVendtland, Miss Williams, and Miss McAfee. Miss Williams also teaches Art, and Miss McAfee Junior English. In addition to her three classes in Junior English, Miss Stanfield teaches Senior English, which is elective. . u i . i • II- , THOUGHTFUL CONCENTRATION Miss Bechtolt is the librarian, and during the we come not to bury caesar, but to learn of him course of the year she gives the Freshmen a short course in Library Science.

As the Board of Directors of an Airline Corporation establishes the business policies of the organization and sanctions plans made by the Administration, so the Board of Education formulates the school’s policies and makes decisions regarding all plans and suggestions offered by the faculty and the Administration. Its members are busy, active citizens of Reedsburg, the landing field, but one finds them willingly devoting much of their time to the interest of the school. One of the most valuable contributions they arc making is a long-term educational program which ultimately should make the city of Reedsburg the possessor of one of the finest and most efficient school systems in the state. As conditions and finances permit, this program is to be developed. Members of the Gleaner Staff and the Senior Class as a whole are fully aware of the fine help they have rendered and wish to take this opportunity to express their sincere appreciation. “Esther,” as most everyone calls her, is familiar to students and teachers alike, but here is some information about her that is perhaps not generally known. She was graduated from R. H. S. in 1934, and returned for a post-graduate course in ’35. She then worked for Otto Krause and Son as secretary for a year. She began work in the High School office in 193b and has been there ever since. Being an alumna, she knows the school from A to Z. Her winning smile, her obliging manner, and her splendid efficiency combine to ESTHER MF.DF.NWAI.D make her a fine secretary. Page eight

This section of the ground crew, the Science and Mathematics Department, teaches conditionally elective courses which may be directly connected with aviation itself. Surely such courses as Geometry, Physics, and Advanced Math, have a definite place in a course in Aeronautics. In the foreground of the Math field we find Mr. Delong teaching two classes in Geometry and one in Advanced Math, besides a class in Senior Science. He is ably assisted by Miss Gensch, who teaches three classes of Algebra in addition to two in General Science. A new simply studying SENIOR science course, General Math, is taught by Mr. bugs and all the inside dope Jerdeman. While Miss McAfee leads the Sophomores in their study of life. Biology, Mr. Lathrope teaches to boys in all classes one of Wisconsin’s foremost sciences, Agriculture.
