For those of you that went to Beveridge, you may have had Mr. Hultquist for shop. He also coached various teams over the years. Sadly, he passed away Nov 21.
Mr. Hultquist was in the US Air Force from 1954-62 and was deployed to Japan. In the community he was a Tangier Shriner as an active member of the Hospital Float Unit and was a member of Eastern Star for over 50 years, where he served as Worthy Patron.

Share Memories and Support the Family.He supported and treated me, only one of 2 girls in my shop class, in a way that, as a woman now I realize was probably not the norm. I think of that shop class whenever I see men being excused for their behavior because, "that's how it was back then." Mr. Hultquist was a stand up teacher. Also, I still have the chisel we made. 😊
R.I.P. He was one of my favorite teacher and someone who I always looked up too.
What a great teacher he was ,,also my neighbor, RIP.
He was a very nice teacher. I remember him well. May he rest in peace.
Condolences to the Hultquist family. RIP, Mr. Hultquist.
As my best friends dad I can also call him one of my favorite teachers. He had such patience with a kid with no clue for shop or drafting class that only later manifested itself in my life when I was finishing my own basement. All of the lessons he taught me stayed with me for a life time
I remember him and the respect he showed all students Prayers to the family. RIP Mr Hultquist
Prayers for his family
he was a great leader that demanded respect
Great man, wonderful soul♥️
I credit Mr Hultquist for teaching me so many tangible shop skills that I am passing on to my son today. He was amazing.

Yesterday’s post showed Burke’s balcony (now enclosed). Here’s how the other side looks as a classroom.
Very interesting! Great use of space though. I never did understand why that empty balcony space was there in the first place. Unless there were shenanigans missed 😏 #1988
It looks so different than it did in 1991! I remember donating blood for the first time on that balcony.
Neat to see! Did I notice a set of doors on the auditorium side, lower level! Was all open previously.
A few quick pics today at Burke!
They covered the balcony used to be able to look down and see everyone coming in the main doors
