	SKETCHES
   On the last Japanese lux-
ury liner, Tatsuta Maru,
bound for the United States
in the summer of 1941 from
Japan, was Miss Elizabeth
M.Evans,case worker in the
Public Welfare department.
For 30 years she was a
teacher in the Northern Star
Girls' high school in Sap-
poro, a city situated on
the island of Hokkaido.
   Those three decades that
she spent in Japan gave her
an opportunity to acquaint
and adapt herself with Ja-
panese culture, festivals,
ways of living,and the peo-
ple themselves.   She is able
to converse fluently in Jap-
anese, but modestly claims
she is not able to read or
write the language.
   As a teacher in the
girls’  high school, Miss
Evans found that Japanese
girls are exceedingly good
actresses and fond of drama.
Her ability as an enthuse-
astic participant in student
activities,plus her sympa-
thetic nature, won a place
in the girls’ hearts.
   M i s s
Evans was
raised on
the west-
ern prai-
r i e s ,
for her
parents
were home
missiona-
ries among the Sioux Indians
in South Dakota.  There she
climbed trees, rode horse-
back, and slid down hills
in old worn-out dishpans
with the Indian boys and
girls.   This experience
proved invaluable, for she
has been able to make closer
contacts with the Japanese
girls by skiing, skating
and hiking with them.
   Miss Evans graduated
from Huron college, S.Dak.,
with a BA in history.   She
later did some post-grad-
uate work at the University
of Minnesota.
   Her belief is, "one
should know a little about
everything and everything
about something."   Once she
served as an interpreter
between a Japanese doctor
and his American patients
during two major operations.
