W . Fishing in Florida next on sch edule Taking a break from short stories and gram- mar, Mr. Nolan Johnson retired after 25 years of teaching English. He had previously taught at Cambria Union High School in Wisconsin for four years, so his ear- ly retirement had been eagerly anticipated. Mr. Johnson planned a relaxing life for him and his wife as they had pur- chased a home in Florida some years earlier. We will move in August, buy a nice boat, and begin to do some serious fish- ing, he said. His years here were en- joyable. I'll miss the staff and students be- cause I believe they have kept me young fat heartl, he said. Coming here in the fall of l96l, Mr. Johnson found the school enroll- ment larger here. The moment l'll never forget was walking into my first study hall and finding more students in one room than we had in the whole school I had come from, he said. Always interested in students, Mr. Johnson for many years chaper- oned the choir trips. However, as the time neared for retirement, he was ready. The very best moment came this year when we signed our contract which allowed for early retirement, he said. --was-m..,,.,, M hu... ..-11 Alexander Seldon leams how to use the computer in his freshman Eng- lish class from Mr. Nolan Johnson.

Northern Illinois Mr. Ronald Zeilenga - Counselor: B.A., M.A. DePaul Alter 26 years here art chairman retires When the doors opened in February l960, Mr. Donn Berwanger was the chairman of the Art Department. Twenty-six years later he retired to pursue other interests. During these years the department had gone through many changes. At one time art enroll- ment required seven teachers, but now there are only two. ln the past more students had time to take art classes, and they tried to develop some understanding of the materials and pro- cesses. 'I'oday's students tin some casesl seem to bejust bodies in a chair, in a room, at a given time, Mr. Berwanger said. The best part of teach- ing for him was the re- ceptive students. t'When I was fortunate enough to have a receptive group of students, the work could be very reward- ing, he said. In addition to supervis- ing the Art Department, Mr. Berwanger advised the Piper from l96.'5 to 1967 when the school was growing in enroll- ment. After retirement his plans are not definite. I will see if they need help at a humane society to assuage my desire to be a veterinarian, he said. Mr. Donn Berwanger gives specialized help to independent study art Faculty 177
