Kent State Normal College ANNE MAUD SHAMEL, Department of Music. It has been said that music is the lan- guage of the soul. As an interpreter of this language from its most elementary to its most classical and elevated phases, Miss Shamel has no superior. There is a per- sonal charm and grace in her every act that sets it apart and above the commonplace. She acts with quiet decision in every situa- tion, and her ability as a leader is singularly effective. BERTHA L. NIXSON, B. S. Department of Household Arts. Miss Nixson is a most capable, energetic instructor, and faithfully strives to kindle a like spirit in her students. Most com- mendably does she teach the principles and methods of home-making, and inculcates them with a thoroughness which will have a lasting effect in the home-life of her stu- dents. 25

This is evident not only in his own preparation for teach- ing, having studied in some of the best colleges of the United States, and also in Germany, France, and the Rousseau In- stitute of Switzerland, but it is seen in his work as a teacher. Those who profit by his instructions will find themselves thoroughly prepared for professional service. ZOE BURRELL BAYLISS She teaches early, She teaches late. Her criticisms You all must take.

1916 Chestnut-Burr AMANDA B. GLASER, B. S. Department of German. Miss Glaser believes in teaching German in a practical way having shown us some of her work in this respect in the production of a German play in the auditorium. Anyone desiring to get the opinion of the High School students, need only to mention her name in their presence to learn that she is popular among those whom she teaches. Any student who cannot learn German under her instruction, should invent a new method of mastering this subject. MARGUERITE CADWALLADER, B. A. Training Supervisor. Miss Cadwallader is one of the new mem- bers of the faculty, but she has surely proved that she is very capable in her work as a supervisor of training. Her prepara- tion is excellent, and to this preparation is added a magnetic personality which gives force and meaning to her every action. Her friendly criticism of the student teacher helps him to correct his faults, and to become what every real student of K. S. N. C. desires to become, — a successful teacher. 26
