Active in both school and church affairs is Mr. Leander Berven, who has been in our Science De- partment at Park for over twenty years. His family, consisting of Mrs. Berven and two sweet daughters, is dear to his heart, as to a lesser degree are music, tools and photography. Through his knowledge, we learn by doing. Interested in photography and music, Mr. William Polley would like to have been a photographer had he not entered the teaching field.
