Some people understand that word, and some don’t. Do you? To appreciate anything, you must first of all know its value, as it stands; and next, to what advantage it can be or is used. Do you appreciate one-half of what is done for you? Perhaps not that much. Do you take the rest for granted? Most of us take the largest part of our life and the things done for us for granted. Suppose that your favorite teacher has been very good to the class. Then one day she says, “Mary, John, Bob, Louise, quietly pass to the board.” Then she says “Mary conjugate----------. John--------” and so on and so forth, through many of the recent lessons, which she has already gone over so many times. My! What faces! You haven’t paid enough attention and haven’t studied after all the pains your teacher has taken. Did you appreciate what she was doing while you were inattentive? The answer is “No.” Should you not have appreciated it enough in the first place to study and pay attention? Yes, you should have done so. One great fault with the people of today is that they do not know how to appreciate, at least most things, as they should. Yet, as in the previous case of the teacher and students, who was to blame? Teacher? No. Students? Absolutely! If they had appreciated the teacher’s kindness and goodness, they would surely have done better, and so saved all the trouble. Appreciation is a wonderful thing. Non-appreciation causes misunderstandings, fights, quarrels, and other unpleasantries of life. Try being appreciative for one week and see if everyone isn’t happier. I can assure one thing—all will go much smoother. —Margaret Nye. John W.: “Two tickets, please.” Ticket seller: “What date?” John: “Dorothy, of course.”

We have a well qualified group of instructors, all of whom we mention as follows: MISS HENRIETTA SILLIMAN. Miss Silliman, who has been with the school longer than any of the other instructors, teaches English IV. As principal, she has been with us five years. She is a graduate of Wellesley College where she received an A. B. degree and also a graduate of Columbia University in New York where she received a Master’s degree. She has been abroad three different times during summer vacations. We feel we are very fortunate in having a principal who has traveled so much because that knowledge is in many ways reflected to us. Miss Silliman’s home is in Toulon. V. B. ASKEW. Mr. Askew has been coach of the High School for five years during which time we have had some very successful teams in Football, Basketball, and Track. He attended Normal and also sessions in coaching at the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan. Although Mr. Askew is short in stature and small in build, he has a most commanding way in Football training, Basketball training, Track training, also in Study Hall and his classes in Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing. His home is in Toulon. MISS JEWEL TYLER. Miss Tyler has been a teacher in the Toulon school for the past four years. She teaches English I. II, and III. She attended Stephen’s College for women for two years after which she attended the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, where she specialized in English. She graduated in music from Stephen’s College and received a B. S. degree from the University. She is a Junior class adviser and has charge of The Tolo. Her home is in Columbia, Missouri. MISS ALMA OEHMIvE. Miss Oehmke has been a member of the faculty of Toulon High School for the past three years as a teacher of languages. She teaches a division of English I, Latin I, Latin II, French I, and French II. She has charge of the Girls’ Service Club and is a Freshman class adviser.
