I We learn of other tongues Miss Jeannette Olson, an unforgettable alumna and teach- er, is happy to be back at Park for her second year. Advisor of the Latin Club, she enjoys knitting, reading and music in her spare time. lf Miss Olson hadn't chosen teaching as her profession, she would have liked to become a nurse or social worker. At whatever she had tackled, we know she would have been successful. The mention of the American Field Service of Foreign Exchange brings to mind Miss Margaret Wernecke. Because of her efforts, Park students have become acquainted and worked with repre- sentatives of other countries during the school year and have travelled abroad during the sum- mer. Miss Wernecke herself has travelled exten- sively all over the world. In her spare time, she enioys reading, travel, music, driving her Olds. She is president of the League of Women Voters in Racine, serves on the Adult Education Council and in various church organizations. Three cheers for Miss Wernecke for making us aware of so many wonderful opportunities. 22 .fl
