THE DIRECTOR OF MUSIC To the staff of the 1935 Carontawan and to its subscribers, I wish to extend a cordial greeting from the Music Education Department and to express my personal appreciation of a project well begun and finely carried out. An undertaking such as this means much to the graduates of the col- lege. It will mean more as the years pass. Grace E. Steadman. THE DIRECTOR OF HOME ECONOMICS Although our purpose is to train teachers of Home Economics, inciden- tally there are many other phases of the field for whic h our various courses furnish a suitable foundation. Above all, training for life needs is one of the greatest contributions any course can offer. Go out and live the philosophy you have embraced, continuing your cultural development until you establish that perfect place to put it into practice — a home. Elizabeth B. Morales. THE PRINCIPAL OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The student teaching in the Junior High School appears always to be done with excellent enthusiasm. This is one quality always expected in the student teacher, and always found to a most satisfactory degree. In 1934 a new policy was adopted having as its object the improvement of the instruction in the Junior High School. The student teacher is now given a senior teaching assignment during the sophomore year. Oppor- tunities are given during the sophomore and junior years to study pupils, subject matter and method. Myron Webster. THE DIRECTOR OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL. The period through which we are passing is teaching us with increas- ing emphasis that there are values which are fundamental and which have been too much neglected in the conventional school of the past. In the Training School we are particularly interested in the present lives of the boys and girls in our care. It is our concern that this school life shall incul- cate ideals and attitudes of right living which shall persist in the out-of- school life of both the present and the future. George A. Retan.

THE DEAN OF WOMEN Through the agencies of the Student Council which develops the powers of self-control and responsibility for others; the membership in clubs which works toward social ease; service on committees which gives experience in the technique of handling parties, concerts, and fellow committee members, students gain worthwhile qualities for living together in a college community. These quali ties combined with intellectual achievement will form an adequate background for the teaching profession. Victoria Frederick. THE DEAN OF MEN Life at college is constantly evolving. It is a continuous chain of events which are especially rich and progressive in those ideals with which are associated the most cherished memories of college life. As a more substantial foundation of this chain of events we have the privilege of meeting new friends — faculty and fellow students, knowledge of new fields of learning, new living habits, and new demands of ourselves in every phase of life. One of the greatest compensations accruing from college associations is to be found with its close associations of life. This in brief is college life! Today, more than ever before, we are forced to develop a moral stability which will convert precept into action, knowledge into character and the discoveries of new truths into a real spiritual progress. It has been my privilege as well as my pleasure to accompany you during this period. It is associations like these that make life a real joy. May the future find you ready to meet your responsibilities as you met them here. H. W. Olson. 25
