Unlike most tourists' suitcases bulging with miscellanies, Miss Keist- er's cases carried yards ot beautiful cloth. This is typical of her liking for her work as sewing in- structor. By contrast, she enjoys outdoor sports. Her ambition is to make each day the best pos- sible. MRS. MARY JEAN KEWLEY A natural ambition for a teacher of language is to travel around the worldfthe dream of Mrs. Kewley, who meantime does a fine job helping her students catch glimpses ot foreign lands.
