day in the lobby of the SUB.

after 45 years of teaching. Thir-
ty of these were spent at TJC
A plaque was presented to
her for outstanding service and
dedication to students from
Board of Regents president Dr.
James C. Moore.
Bryant Reeves, faculty coun-
cil president, presented her
with .gifts from the Faculty
Council. She received a crystal
■rosebowl and a rare crystal
heart-shaped pendant made by
Waterford of Irelend.
Dr. Marin R. Felder ex-
pressed the faculty’s apprecia-
tion for her continual service
and invited her to visit TJC.
She said her philosophy for
teaching for 45 years was to
take one day at a time. Most of
the things she wanted in her
career came along and there
were things she usually liked,
she added.
She was also presented with
a corsage and arrangement of
white roses from the Phi Theta
Kappa organization. Miss Haag
was the first sponsor of the or-
ganization.
After a year of teaching at
Taylor the high school math
teacher resigned and she got
the position. “I was prepared,”
she said. “I always try to be pre-
pared.”
In 1960, Miss Haag was the
first sponsor of the Phi Theta
Kappa organization, and was
made an honorary member in
1961.
In reminiscing over her
career Miss Haag remembers
when she helped her friends
with the multiplication tables
in second grade. This was the
beginning of her interest in
teaching which later lead to her
position of mathematics instru -
tor at TJC for 30 years.
Miss Haag’s career began in crocheting, tatting and
1931 when she taught third and embroidery. She also has had a
fourth grades at Seaton School life-time interest in music and
at the age of 18. She then moved plays the organ and has studied
to high school biology at Temple voice. “I’m really ready for
High School afterwhich she at- retirement,” she said.

Haag Estimates
5,500 Pupils
Miss Ethel Haag is quick to
remember her first day as an
elementary teacher in the one-
room Seaton School.
------------v-t “The first day I was afraid,”
tor of America in the same year, she recalls. “It was a new' ex-
She was elected to receive perience and I was wondering
Who s Who in the World of how the pupils would get there.
It was raining that day and only
one student, the principal’s
daughter, came. I got through
that and the second day I wasn’t
afraid.”
She doesn’t remember the
class enrollment that year but
“it was a room full.”
Now, 45 years later, she esti-
mates that more than 5,500
pupils have been listed on her
class rolls. She’s proud that
many of them have continued
their educations and have
become doctors, lawyers,
teachers and distinguished bus-
iness people.
