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

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

1916 Chestnut-Burr KATHERINE E. CORBETT, B. Pd., B. S. Training Supervisor. Too much cannot be said about the good qualities of our training teachers, and certainly we cannot say enough of this splendid woman. She sincerely loves children and sym- pathizes with their little worries and troub- les, which seem so great to them. She is kind, yet firm in her judgments. We student teachers could not help lov- ing her, as she co-operates so well with us all, criticizing us so kindly and in such a way that training with her is considered a joy and privilege. Miss Corbett has wonderful ability, does everything she attempts well, and has a sweet and winning disposition. A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, to command. FLORENCE B. CRUTTENDEN, B. S. Miss Cruttenden of the History Depart- ment has :■ a ' pleasing personality and is charming in , conversation. She has the friendship and esteem of all who know her. Her chief aim in the teaching of History is to lead the students to independent re- search, original thinking, and the grasping of new ideas. i She is quick to acknowledge the efficient student and she can make history as fas- cinating as fiction. None knew thee but to love thee; None named thee but to praise. 28
