taught here for several years and
will be remembered by some of
the earlier high school students.
The fourth G ra d e teacher at
the time was Alice Bigalk, who is
now Mrs. Edward Fokler, who
lives on Flathead L k at Big
Fork. Strangely enough, Mrs.
Fokler also visited Browning
friends last week in company of
her husband. W h o represents
school supply house.
Mrs. Gay Garfield was the fifth
grade teacher. The Cantields op-
Grated a lumber yard (Scotty's)
here at that time and will be re-
membered by som e Browning

the picture. Doug says that this

ASSEMBLY SPEAKER

<AoSA1RtAA&AA IA
At a 3 o'clock assembly in the
junior high gym on Tuesday,
Dec. 6, Marguerite Soule Shoe
maker, deep-sea diver and ma
turalist, addressed a fascinated
audience of junior and senior
high school students.
Mrs. Shoemaker recounted
some Of her adventures during
II years as a professional diver.
She told that her decision to
learn helmet diving followed
an unsuccessful rescue effort in
which she took part after a
lake accident. In that case, the
life of a girl might have been
saved had there been a helmet
diver in the party. Mrs. Shoe
maker became so interested,
however, in the underwater
animals and the beautiful
sights which she saw during
her practice dives that she de-
cided to give up teaching and
become a student of under-sea
life.
After mastering her helmet
diving, she learned deep sea
