Kent State Normal College DAVID OLSON, B. A., M. Sc. Department of Geography. Mr. Olson is a true friend to all students. He exacts thorough and honest work, and in turn gives wide and varied intelligence which is all the more interesting and in- structive because he obtained it from his own observation and experience. He is always ready to counsel and advise his students; and this advice, if accepted and followed, will always stand the test. JOSEPH E. LAYTON, A. B. Department of History and Govern- ment. Mr. Layton, in his individualistic way, sets forth the facts of History and Government in such a manner that he never fails to get results. Perhaps his witty and humorous remarks are factors conducive to efficiency, for they serve to enliven the dry facts of History. Mr. Layton welcomes every opportunity to mingle with the students, both in and out of school. 19

1916 Chestnut-Burr MARGARET DUNBAR, B. L., B. L. S. Our Librarian. Here ' s to her who answers mere ques- tions in one day than seven average women could ask. But she does it patiently, v illingly and gladly. It dcesn ' t matter what your problem is, — whether it is con- cerned with a book or not, — her judgment is always good and she is always pleased to help. In a word, she is worth knowing, and she loves the Bluebird her Buick roadster. ELSIE MABEE, A. B., Ph. B., Pd. M. Training Supervisor. Miss Mabee has the ability to keep her young charges wide awake and eager to know what each day ' s work is to bring to them. She carefully directs them in all their activities, but allows them freedom to decide and choose for themselves. Stu- dents engaged in practice teaching receive great benefit under her direction, for she encourages them to express themselves freely, but is ever ready to advise and sug- gest when perplexities arise. It is always a pleasure to talk with Miss Mabee on topics outside the schoolroom, as well as about questions relating to teach- ing. 18

1916 Chestnut-Burr LEMUEL A. PITTENGER, A. B., A. M. Department of English. The Class of 1916 of K. S. N. C. has certainly missed the elevating and inspiring influence of Professor Pittenger during the past year. Little does the class of 1917 realize what the association with such a personality has meant to the students who have been under his instruction, but it is our sincere and ardent hope that next year they may gain the benefit of this ex- perience. HARVEY L. EBY., A. B. Department of Education. Through his class lectures, Professor Eby teaches educational and moral truths so directly and forcibly, that they become a vital part of the students under his in- struction, and thus aid them in rendering efficient service when they themselves take up the responsibilities of teaching. 20
