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

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

Kent State Normal College EMILY C. SMITH. Matron of Lowry Hall. O ' er Lowry Hall, she reigns supreme, Their dignified and lovely queen. Her many rules, they dare not break, Although they do advantage take. Her dignity, we must confess, Oft holds them in much dire distress. But she is good and very kind, Her equal, they could never find. So we admire and do commend Their counsellor, their guide and friend. FLORENCE BARBARA DOLPH, Training Supervisor. Quiet and unassuming, this member of the Faculty came to us this year and has proved herself a friend to all. Ever go to her for help? Then it is an assured fact that you were not disappointed. She is a little midget but she has a heart large enough for a person twice her size. 27
