June,1946 THE TECHALOGUE 13 NEWS OF THE TEACHING STAFF The year 1945-1946 has witnessed a greater turn-over of teaching staff than any previous one. Mr. Bertram Tash joined the staff in September as electricity in- structor. Mr. Tash's extensive experience and his mastery of his sub- ject have brought new life to the electrical department. In the middle of the fall term Mr. A. J. Wheaton resigned to re-enter business as a partner in Wheaton Electric. Mr. Wheaton was the first electricity teacher and will long be remembered as the clockman in this school. Mr. H. W. Jenkins, returning from lengthy service in the R.C.A.F. stepped into Mr. Wheatonls place as assistant to Mr. Tash. The revival of the orchestra, school badminton, etc., are all due to Mr. Jenkins leadership. In September, Messrs R. J. Mathers, H. S. Jackson, H. M. Drinkle, and Cyril Verbeke were welcomed back from the services. Mr. Mathers has charge of guidance and counselling among the boys of the school, and his interviews with students have done much to establish a desirable rapport. Mr. Jackson is again head of the machine shop department and is busy putting the lathes in order. His wide experience in the Navy has enhanced his usefulness to this school. Mr. Drinkle, too, was in the Navy, where he organized instructional courses. With his return the essential department of motor engineer- ing is again in full and efficient swing. Mr. Verbeke continues as Mr. Trevoy's assistant. The Techalogue hears echoes of romance in his direction. Mr. Antone Weenk has joined the staff in the motor mechanics section. Mr. George Brent, after nearly four years on active service in the Navy, is once more in accounting and physical training. Mr. Brent has contributed much to the success of boys' sports. Miss Wilna Moore left on leave of absence at New Year's. The Techalogue wishes Miss Moore a full return of health. At present she has a post in the Canadian Embassy in Paris, and word has just come that she will not be back to Tech until September, 1947. Mr. J. E. R. Armstrong, recently released from the Air Force, came to Tech from Yorkton Collegiate Institute to take Miss Moore's work. He has fitted in adrnirably. Notice appears elsewhere of the impending departure of Mr. G. A. Dobson for Toronto, where he has accepted an important position. As the senior teacher in years of service, and as a popular colleague, lVEr. Dobson will be greatly missed. Mr. J. R. Lawrence, it is anti- cipated, will rejoin the staff in commercial work after being on leave for a year because of illness. Mr. L. C. Sherman, who has been on the staff at Nutana for a year, will rejoin the Tech in September, according to information received by the Techalogue. Mr. Sherman is keenly interested in public affairs, being president of the local city organization of the Liberal party. A mixture of pride and regret has been the outcome of the an- nouncement of the resignation of Miss Anne McKillop who has receiv- ed another valuable scholarship at Teachers' College, Columbia

14 THE TECHALOGUE JwIe,1946 University. Previous to this announcement, it had been hoped that Miss McKillop might be back on the staff next September. The Techalogue once more extends on behalf of the students and staff, all good wishes to this brilliant and friendly young lady who in years past contributed so largely to the success of this magazine. Mr. Charles Mair was welcomed back to the staff in mid-autumn after a long period of service with the Canadian army overseas. Major Mair was a senior officer in educational work and his superior talents as an organizer were recognized as invaluable. Mr. L. F. Furse left the staff in December to join the Success Business College, which he has purchased. Mr. Furse is an experienced and successful teacher of commercial work. The Techalogue extends every good wish for success in his new field of work. Z.-gl. COL. P. C. KLAEHN BECOMES BRIGADIER-GENERAL FORMER TECH TEACHER BRINGS HONOR TO SCHOOL A sense of pride is experienced in this school as a result of the announcement that Col. P. C. Klaehn has been promoted to the rank of Brigadier-General with command of all reserve forces in Saskat- chewan. Mr. Klaehn joined the commercial department in Bedford Road in 1924 and is an efficient and popular teacher, specializing in com- mercial law and economics and in Gregg shorthand. Actively inter- ested in all sports, Mr. Klaehn has been particularly keen on basket- ball, curling, rugby, and baseball. In World War I, Mr. Klaehn rose from the ranks in the Princess Patricia Light Infantry, being wounded at Vimy. When World War II broke out, he answered the call at once and went overseas with the rank of captain with the Saskatoon Light Infantry CM.G.j. As the war went on, he was transferred from his own unit to take command of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa. Brigadier Klaehn acted as brigade commander of the 8th Can- adian Brigade in the difficult Scheldt operations. Since his return to Canada late in 1945, he has been Saskatoon district administrator of the Department of Veterans' Affairs, with offices and a large staff in the London Building, Saskatoon. The Techalogue offers congratulations to this capable official and distinguished soldier. We are all proud of him and his record. .T-A-...M TECH LOSES DIRECTOR OF EMPLOYMENT AND PLACEMENT MR.
