'- ' ginrau Euler' Zlirerzsra -s - One day I wandered into room eight and said to the teacher: Miss Petersen, I came to get a few facts concerning your life. Oh, I see, said that very reserved lady. For the Annual, I suppose? Yes, you a1'e right. First, how old are you? Excuse me if I seem impudent. This is the life of a re- porter. ' ' After a long pause she said, Well, I'm 20-i-, 20+ I say. Q20-I-20:40, so Gllmllly says.j Now do you know any more than you did before? No, I don't. For we all expected it but did not suppose you would confess it yourself. Now tell me where you were educated and where you have held positions. I donit know what you mean by that first part and I want to get you out of here as quickly as you can, so I will answer those questions at once. I graduated from Britt High School, and Iowa State University. Was assistant principal at Garner, Iowa. I suppose you know I am now teaching Latin and English in Stoi-in Lake High School. Now go! Thank you,', and I was gone. I suppose she'll Hunk me for this, but what do I care! M. D. After chasing Miss Davis all over the building, I iinally cornered her in room 9, and began to fire questions at her. The result was that I learned the whole history of her life with the exception of the date of her birth. Why is it that teachers will never tell their age? But I should judge she iirst opened her eyes on this big world about 1890. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but lived there onlyva short time, moving, while still a baby, to Marshalltown, Iowa. There she spent her childhood on a farm. She had seven brothers and sisters and, being the youngest girl, had little work to do. She spent much time on horseback. In 1909 she went to a preparatory school instead of a high school and in 1911 graduated from the normal college at Cedar Falls. She wanted to go as a missionary but could not pass the health examination. When I asked her how many love affairs she had had, having used up all her fingers on one hand in counting them, she stopped in confusion and said, Just say that I've had so many I can't count them. She said her ideal of a man was too high to express in words. She loves to play tennis. She guides her life by this motto, Do what you think is right in spite of gosgipjt Miss Davis says she loves her work, and we can account for her being a good teacher by the fact that her father and mother, all her sisters, and all but one brother are now or have at one time been teachers. She taught one year at Walnut, Iowa, and two years at Tipton, Iowa. Sho has Spent nearly a year here in Storm Lake and She says she likes Storm Lake better than any other town. M, S,
