Although she believes teen-agers are given far too much attention, she feels Park a fine school inhabited by many fine people. 26

with these skills. , In his second year of teaching here is Mr. Paul Wegman, Park machine shop instructor. A na- tive of the southern part of the United States, Mr. Wegman enjoys flying airplanes, swimming, tennis and his four children as his spare time interests. Vitally concerned with his chosen vocation-teaching, he can't imagine doing anything else . . . we hope this interest keeps him here with us a long time. ANL A truly likeable individual, Mr. Theo- dore Beach hos been a member of the Park faculty for twenty-six years. His hobbies are in wood-working, al- though he tells us he would have enjoyed providing the services to man- kind given by a doctor. Before coming to our Industrial Arts Department, Mr. Beach was a member of the McKinley Junior High School staff. Another athletically inclined gentleman of our facul- ty, Mr. Robert Cairns enjoys bowling and golf, along with his chosen vocation of teaching shop.

Today's and tomorrow's roads will be safer as they are peopled with more and more of the pupils of Mr. Arthur Ritt, Park driving teacher of the last eight years. The most rib-tickling experience of this pleasant man occured while he was instructing a carful of pupils on one of our busy streets-the lady ahead signaled a left turn, manually, her direc- tionals signalled a right and she calmly proceeded straight ahead-obviously not a Park driving student! Father of two Park alumni is Mr. Erwin Wall of the Commercial Department. Mr. Wall's spare time interests are bee-keeping, the American Legion and Badger Boys' State. Wit- ness at speeches by William J. Bryan, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower, all agree he's a honey and ever young in heart.
