Mr. Gieske. As musical director of R. T. H. S., Mr. Gieske leads the students in the paths of song. He has opened the door to Music Appreciation to many by his teaching and directing. It is largely through his efforts that the band is able to have new uniforms this year, As a side line he takes colored slides. Miss Leffingwell. Entiende espanol, usted? Do you understand Spanish? Miss Lefiingwell teaches this romance language. Spanish, English, and Latin help keep her busy. When the day is through, she is not sure which language is which, but she still knows how to ask for a cup of coffee. Anyway, a student of Miss Leff- ingwell's is always able to say Yo amo te . Mr. Posorskc. This is Mr. Posorske's first year here. It is his job to instruct the freshmen in the mysteries of algebra I and math. If the weather is ever discussed with Mr. Posorske, it will be no idle subject, for he was a weather man in the Air Force during the war. This year he helped Mr. Skoglund coach the light- weight football team. POSORSKE, WILLIAINI Mathematics University of Wisconsing Illinois State Normal University, M. S. ROE, LOIS Ar!
