aafalfzadewfzawliifalafeafm Our highly organized school systems of today are a far cry from the little one-room schoolhouse where scholars six to sixteen sat together on long wooden benches, droning the alphabet and figuring on their slatesg neverthe- less, the readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic of those days are still the backbone of our education. As we enter the main floor of the high school building, we are stopped by Miss Spitz who politely asks us to Please quiet down. Miss Spitz has taught history in Room 2l for several years. That Spanish we hear is coming from Miss Orr's room. She is a real amigo. Room 21A is occupied by Miss Watt, our school nurse, who is always kind and thoughtful to everyone. One of our most loyal faculty members, Mrs. Yenne, teaches English in Room 22. How- ever, this room is used by Mrs. Ehmann fourth period. Mrs. Ehmann is new this year and has recently been elected Dean of Girls. Mr. Wagner, our new government teacher, quickly made friends of all the students and faculty and has ably assisted Coach Scott in athletics. The first room on the south side of the building is Mrs. Lett's. She is the former Miss Williams, who returnea tc W. H. S. as a Mrs. to replace Miss Hert in the Latin department. Beloved Mr. Gehrig, who is never angered by his well-behaved English and German classes, resides in Room 28. Have you ever broken a door? The last room on this floor is the library where Miss Miller retains absolute quiet. We retrace our steps in order to take the correct stairs to the second floor. ln the first room at the top of the stairs, Hank Greenwood, our chief ear-puller, teaches physics and radio. The chemistry room is next on our tour. George Defel's classes have greatly increased in importance as a result of the war. We now come to Room 34 where we find Miss Schmidt and her Trig geniuses. She is very active in all school activities. Here is Miss Reed's room. She teaches Sophomore English and is one of the sponsors of the lnk-Ovation. Mrs. Dant teaches math in Room 37. She has made the subject interesting to a lot of students who never liked it. The next two rooms are used alternately by Mr.: Lehner and Miss Peters, our commercial teachers. Mr. Lehner has been with us for several years. This is Miss Peters' first year in our school and she has contributed greatly to the advancement of her typing and shorthand classes. 18
