Awhile ago we were talking about our past teachers after Norm mentioned that he had stopped by to see Miss (Grace) Anderson when he was in Clear Lake some years back.  A number of us were trying to name our various teachers and had some difficulty with several of them.  After a little research I submit the following list for the start of the 1943 school year:

LINCOLN  SCHOOL
Kindergarten - Florence Walberg from St. Paul, MN
First grade - Verna Dieckman from Farmersburg, IA
Second grade - Grace Anderson (Principal) from Thompson, IA
Third grade - Elvira Mellem from Northwood, IA
Fourth grade - Myrtle Olson from Atkins, IA

Second grade - Hazel Ziegler from Rockwell, IA
Third grade - Lura West from Ankeny, IA
Fourth grade - Mayme Christ from Cresco, IA
Fifth grade - Muriel L. Anderson from Alta, IA

There was a Verne Lace who taught in 7th & 8th and also in High School.  He was a art teacher.  Some of the other names for High Shool that I remember are a Mr. Edwards, Mr. Noble, Miss Christiansen, Mr. Martin, Mr McCallum, Miss Sponheim, Mr. Mully, Miss Bonoff, Mr. Gillispie, and Miss Friedman.  If I can think of any more of them I'll send the names on to you.  You all are doing a great job.  Keep up the good work.

I seem to remember Hanna & I going to school together & it was snowing & Icy & we had this small hill & there in the street was Miss Brose & she was on her hands & feet crawling & we got on each side of her & I asked her if she wanted to race! Even if my memory is bad, it's a good story. She taught my Grandmother, I was told.   Norm Hansen
