It may have been at the Main Street School, at the Harrisonburg High School, or in one of the outlying communities, Dayton, Bridge- water, or Pleasant Hill — to which you commuted in the college car. But the problems were essentially the same: lesson plans, which always worked out in the way exactly opposite to what you wanted, when someone asked the wrong question; individual differences of children — if they had only been made all alike, they might stick together; conferences, in which you discussed everything from the child ' s history to the ethics of a future teacher; home visiting, when you didn ' t know what to say, so you said nothing. These were the trials of a student teacher, but it wasn ' t so bad after all ; and you got practical experience for the years in which you are to follow the profession.

HAMAKER Assistant to the Business Manager DORIS HEATWOLE Assistant Secretary to the President WILLIETTE HOPKINS Supervisor of Dormitories RUTH HUDSON Social Director Necessary to the last degree and very vital to the smooth running of the college was the administrative staff. It was the mission of Miss Hopkins to inspect our rooms and to see that our dormitories looked up-to-standard. She always came on the one morning of the week when we had decided to sleep late and had dashed out of bed as the bell rang for class — showering the room with our possessions, causing it to look as if a cyclone had just hit. Remember the dandelions which came up all over the campus? Mr. Long, who supervised their clipping when they grew up into puff balls, also had men ready when anything needed moving or any repair jobs were to be done. His duties were taken over during the spring quarter by Mr. Early, and we saw the buildings given a new exterior trimming in the form of a coat of paint. Most of this staff worked in offices. It was Miss Blain ' s and Miss Carr ' s responsibility to aid the Dean of Women in her sanctum, keep-
