Yet, do not misunderstand us! Our facility is not as severe as you might think from their title. Superintendent Bush and Miss Griswold do our major engineering of the Hbig to ,', with Mr. Halter as a close assistant. The other members are roficient with p n n u I . 1 n p the whip, figuratively speaking, in certain specialized fields. Aside from his responsibilities of keeping us well in leash, Mr. Halter has the juniors and seniors performing spectacular experiments in chemistry and physics. Memories of the science exhibit should still be fresh in your minds. Miss Horn holds an uncanny power over us, and while she has us in her spell we find theorems being implanted in our minds. Mr. Buddemeyer has us learning algebra one moment and civics another. A fourth instructor is Miss Marr who makes us respond to highly selected music so that we enjoy it greatly. Mr. Nibeck puts a practical plan of training before both girls and boys. What with household mechanics, wood-turning, and wood-working we get to be rather use- ful members of the circus. Miss Porter and Mr. Christian are the ones who truly put us through our paces in physical education-especially when as juniors we are given a stiff dose of hy- giene. Miss Dearing and Miss Brown will make us learn typing and shorthand yet. And those of us who are not advanced enough for such subjects are drilled until we can perform wonders in bookkeeping at Miss Dearingis command, and have assembled a useful store of information from Miss Brown in office practice. Some of us have gone Spanish, too, along with Miss Brown. Page Four

So far she has only girls in her large sewing 1 classes. We move in a pretty lively fashion to keep pace with her instructions. Miss Eberle. Miss Rogers, and Miss Chamberlain work on us in our various stages of development in English. lvhen we are very new the latter two take us in hand, and in our last two years Miss Eberle puts on our finishing touches. For our more ambitious members she also has a two-year routine in Latin. lt means work, but we have our fun doing it. We can conjugate, decline, and translate to the crack of the whip. Miss Rogers gives us a chance to be expressive little animals in her art labora- tory. She has made a great number of us enjoy her courses as we have tried our hands at varying types of art work. Miss Chamberlain has initiated many of our seniors into interesting facts con- cerning government. We suppose we should be uninformed creatures if Miss Badger were not on hand to school us in history from ancient to modern times. Then there is Miss lvilliams who keeps a watchful eye over us in study hall and who also keeps us from running away with the library. Miss Wahlbrink has a dozen duties from selling us books and supplies to conducting some of us more stubborn ones to class. By these members are we kept under control and through them our circus moves on in its daily whirl. Page Fin- X15 1g -4 1-J LL. I 1 va E
