The 'Sl for spirit is one letter among many that has come into its own, and to impress the fact that emphasizing alphabet letters does not go out with primary school days, consider 'I' for interest, 'C' for cooperation, 'El for earnest- ness and 'P' for personality. All these factors are interwoven into teaching as tightly as the warp and woof of the best fabrics. Each teacher at S.T.C. is equipped with these tools, the best available, to mould and improve the material that presents itself each term at S.T.C. Increasing enrollments are further indication that the faculty are striving to prepare the young people of today to help solve the problems of tomorrow. W. V. CHEEK, PHD. j. H. COLLINS, M.P.E.

Qs It Professor Shannon is head of the History Department, but he does not limit his activities to that work, for he also takes part in civic affairs. He has been chosen Rotarian of the Year by Springfield Rotarians and is their candidate for district governor. He is a member of the Boy Scout Council, the Springfield Public Library Board, and the Community Chest. Students find him easy to talk to and earnestly interested in their problems. Professor Shannon probably dislikes being termed an example, even a good example, but he is one among many at S.T.C. Such a person brings more to the students in his classroom than systematized data. He puts spirit into every action, every association, a spirit of teacher- student friendship rather than the strained relationship of years ago school days. ANNA Lou BLAIR, HOWARD H. BLAIR, AM. F. W.

Instructor in Commerce No enrollment increases miracu- lously unless there is something miraculous about work and coopera- tion and effortg it is just these things that have put S.T.C. on the collegiate map. Her greatness lies not in the size of her halls, the height of the buildings, her hneness rests not on one man's virtue or another man's knovvledgeg her fame cannot be at- tributed to one student's success or one professorls personality. S.T.C. is a combine, a spirit, and a cooperative. Students come here to school with confidence that S.T.C. offers genuine instruction, coordinated to best meet their demands and taught by exem- plary instructors. That the studentis interest is of primary importance is evidenced by the freshmen orienta- tion program. This year, under Dr. Richard Wilkinson's leadership, a new program was inaugurated to further help the students to meet
