Faculty LIBRARY Second Row: Litter, Bates Rosentreter, Cleveringa. First Row: Milliman, M., Andrews, Trabilcox, Milliman, D. During final exam and term-paper time the library is o continual beehive of feverish ac- tivity on the part of students. Students are constontly searching among the reference books and periodicals for a little more information. Of great value to early elementary students is the collection of children ' s text-books on the second floor. The library staff, headed by Miss Elsie V. Andrews and v ell trained assistants, is alv ays ready and willing to help bewildered students. The speech department staff, though small in number, is nonetheless great in importance. To Dr. J. P. Kelly and Marion F. Stowe, oral interpretation and poise in public speaking remain still a necessity. The responsibility of training and coaching ' amoteurish freshmen in their public speaking and poetry reading is one that is grave indeed. Courses in public speaking and interpretative reading taught by these enthusiastic instructors have enabled Michigan Normal Students to enter inter- collegiate contests in debating, extemporaneous speaking, and in poetry and prose reading.
