n5,;no the four years following the
.sSaatiou of Miss McCarty there were

Niss Luells j. Wittenmyer, OF Seattle
Niss Eva Lombard, of Port Madison;
snd from the Commercial course Mr.. "

,bs first c,ass of teacher that completed
~ Normal course in our Territory.
Miss AIDA George has never practised
.he professiOD for which she prepared
Suy;ne nsr school days. Soon after
saving school she went to Oregon, and
x.s fortunate enough to obtain posi-
ian in the postoffice In Portland, where
ne is employed at the present time.

sitsuds faithfully and we'll to her du-
ties.. Although her tine is 80 much
oecupied with Office work, she does not
neOIect the wants of the mind, which
he satisfies by taking a literary course
of stody.
Mas Wittenmyer commenced tsach-
inc soon after leaving the University,
and has been engaged in that work al
most continuously. At present she is
teaching at Laconner.
Mlss Lombard's history is almost the
zane. She began teaching Ia August,
after leaving school In June, and has
lsaeht ever since, with the exception of
occasional vacations. She has taught
IN the counties of Snohomish, kitsap
and King. At present she il enjoying u
vacation at ber home, now in Seattle.

Although there il nothing brilliant t.
record Of the members of this class,
there Is one thing 10 be said which eau
be.old Of no other class. (save the class
Of three Of last year, two of whom are
yet at sohool) that is that every one
has diligently attended to the duties of
his profession. Ths teachers are teach
sfs still; not one has left the public
school TO become teacher in "a private
school, consisting of only teacher and
pupil. The two employed in postoffices
have been equally faithful to the life
ihsy have chosen.
