"Swallowing a goldfish while pledging for the Phi Nu Society at MacMurray College was one of my craziest experiences," giggled Miss Diane Schlieckert, one of Maine's new math teachers.
A math career was the remotest thing from Miss Schlieckert's mind when she graduated from Maine East. Foreign language and elementary education were her intentional majors, but she later changed to math which she found more to her liking. Finally, remembering she had been an above average math student in high school, she decided to take a calculus course "for the fun of it."
A "Best Student Teacher of the Year Award" was presented to Miss Schlieckert in her senior year at MacMurray, where she served as an assistant. In her, junior year, Miss Schlieckert was presented with the Blackburn Award, which acknowledged her standing as the best math major.
Participation in the Student Government as a legislative board member for four years was among Miss Schlieckert's extra‑curricular activities in college.
Indoor recreation appeals more to her than indoor sports, although she is a good swimmer. Oil painting, bowling, and bridge also occupy her spare time.
"Shyness," said Miss Schlieckert, "is a problem which pledging can correct. After singing on a table in a potato sack in the school union, a future teacher isn't as likely to get embarrassed in front of a class."

"A student who gives up is my pet peeve." remarked Mr. Robert Carlton, new mathematics teacher. "Students must have perseverance if they wish to succeed."
Mr. Carlton attended Georgetown University and obtained his M.S. degree from Northwestern. Before coming to Maine West he taught for four years at Maine East.
Playing chess, coin collecting, bowling, and playing bridge rate high as pastimes for him, lie enjoys "working with Maine West students and faculty."
"Maine West's students seem to be friendly and co‑operative, although I've met a few who aren't," mentioned Mr. Carlton.
"I can't emphasize too much the reasons a student shouldn't give up in any course he undertakes," emphasized Mr. Carlton.
