Salute to the Faculty ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ W HEN THE war started wc all knew that some U. High start me misers would Ik- called into military service, hut very few of us thought we would lose so many of our teachers. List September we felt the first effects when we returned to school to find that Messrs. Virgil Walker, Raymond Kchl. (icrald Voclker, and Edwin Carr had left for army posts. Other former faculty members had gone to other positions in civilian life, and we were surprised to find seventeen new teachers. These new teachers adapted themselves quickly and have become a real part of U. High. Yet wc were still to feel more effects of wartime demands, as for example when Mr. Clark (fill of the social studies department left in November to lake Navy training. Mr. (fill found time to stop in at U. High between his indoctrination course and his departure for active duty, and let us admire him in his Ensign’s uniform. Mr. Manfred Schrupp, boys' physical education instructor, was the next to go, for he was called to dut with the Navy in February, and he left to take up the work of submarine detection. To New London, Conn., went Miss Gladys Koepke, as Ensign Koepke of the Spars. To wish her good luck and show their appreciation for her work members of the Girls’ Club presented her with a stud box and Acme gave her a leather stationery set. Another member of the personnel department, Mr. Walter Johnson, went to work for the Navy and left for Washington under the title of Ensign Johnson. Mr. Cirlislc Anderson, head of manual training department, left in March for Kearney, Nebraska; from there he went to Florida, where after extensive training he will be made an instructor in the Navy Air Corps. Early in spring quarter Mr. James Curtis, assistant director, left as a I.t. Commander, second grade, in the United States Navy. These teachers found it necessary to answer their call to duty with the armed forces. Other teachers, already engaged with a heavy load of duties, took on added responsibilities so the school could run smoothly. This was a real contribution just as it was a contribution for many of U. High’s members to answer the call for military service. The senior class of nineteen hundred and forty-three wishes the faculty and the students in the service and those who are yet to enter the service, every good wish that they will do their jobs well and return home just as quickly as possible. 10
