But whence it should come to pass, that a mind enriched with knowledge of so many things should not become more quick and sprightly, and that a gross and vulgar understanding should lodge within it, without correcting and im- proving itself, all the discourses if judgments of the greatest minds the world ever had, I am yet to seek.

3.- With careful consideration, Mrs. Frederick helps Prose Readers, Betty Gager and Alice Nelson, to select suitable short stories. Ideals are like stars, you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny? Carl Schurz While teaching five classes a day and coaching speech students 1S hectic work Mrs. Frederick finds lunch time pleasant period of relaxation. What is done in our classrooms today will be Mrs. Frederick attended Illinois State Normal Uni- versity for two years and then graduated from the University of Illinois after two additional years. She also obtained her mastefs degree from the University of Illinois. At the beginning of her teaching career, she taught English and Speech at Rankin, Illinois and also directed Dramatics. While at East Moline, she has taught Iunior Composition A, Public Speaking, and English Literature. In addition, she has devoted her coaching time to Declamation, Prose Reading, Original Oration, Original Monologue, Poetry, After-dinner Speaking, and American Legion Oratory. y Under her guidance, East Moline has advanced and prospered in the area of Speech. She has been in- strumental in entering U.T.H.S. in all speech activities at the district, sectional, and state levels. During her coaching at Rankin and East 'Moline, her speech Stu- dents have won first, second, or third place in In- dividual Events at the State Speech Finals. With such an outstanding career in the teaching profession, Mrs. Frederick symbolizes the word teacher.', Teachers might be considered craftsmen rather than instructors. They shape the minds of our youth and prepare them to meet the challenges of the coming years. Thus, the entire future owes its success or failure to the standards our teachers set up. As long as our youth continue to receive expert knowledge and the high ideals of life from such devoted teachers as Mrs. Frederick, our country and its citizens can con- tinue the quest for peace and fulfillment. reflected in the success or failure of civilization tomorrow. Not what we have, but what we useg Not what we see, but what we choose, These are the things that mar or bless the sum of human happiness? Joseph Newton An interesting interpretation of this Declama- tion by Mrs. Frederick encourages speech stu- dents, Cayle Hamerlinck and Andrea Lundeen, to continue their efforts in Comedy Reading. As the school day closes Mrs Frederick aided by Alice Nelson prepares to retum home. In spite of a stack of unior Themes to grade, she manages to smile
