cfMiss Slizabeth t M. Ketchum Miss Elizabeth M. Ketchum was horn in Oswego, New York, and there re- ceived her early education. Upon her graduation from the Oswego High School she entered the Oswego State Normal and Training School, from which she was graduated with honors. After graduating from the Normal School she entered the Rochester Business Institute for special commercial work, later transferring to Syracuse University and from there to Columbia University, where she was regis- tered for special courses in the higher commercial suhjects. Miss Ketchum ' s first teaching experience was in Oswego, New York, her home town. She organized and was head of the Commercial Department of tile Oswego High School until the September of nineteen hundred twenty-two, at which time the Plattshurgh State Normal School was fortunate in securing her services. Miss Ketchum is held in the. highest esteem by the students of the Normal and has en- deared herself to the students by the interest she has shown and the help she has given in our school activities. While, a student at the Oswego State Normal School she was among the number selected for membership in the Kappa Epsilon Sorority, and always took an active part in its functions. She had not been at the Platt shurgh State Normal School long before she was singled out by the Agonian Sorority for membership, and she has since acted as faculty advisor for that sorority. The Agonian girls are indeed for- tunate in having a woman of her ability and personality among their number, for she has alw ays manifested an unceasing, loyal interest in the welfare of that sorority. Miss Ketchum is an active member of the Catholic Daughters of America, and is now lecturer of that organization. In nineteen hundred twenty-six she organized, and has since been leader of, the Study Club in connection with this society. In addition to this, Miss Ketchum holds membership in the Adelphi Literary Club of this city. The best wishes of the Class of ' 27 are extended to Miss Ketchum for success in whatever she undertakes in the future. Four
