(7 flRCQ Miss Louise Grant Professor of Voice and Public School Music From the bleak New England shores to the busy metropolis of New Wilmington came Miss Grant. She says that she came here to seek her fortune, but from what we have learned we believe that her stay with us is limited. Miss Grant left her heart in Boston and we well know that no one can well exist without that vital organ. At the beginning of the year she took up her work as teacher of voice and public school music in the conservatory. After Christmas vacation she succeed- ed Miss Cunningham as chaperon of the Cummings House. She at once gained the respect and love of those under her charge and manages her eight girls with the tact and skill of one who thoroughly under- stands her task. Miss Naomi Williams, B.L.I. Director of Pageantry and Assistant in Public Speaking Four ears ago when the present Senior Class were Freshmen there appeared in Westminster a young lady who was very much interested in Public Speak- ing. Not being very well pleased with the Honorable II. S. Hollopeter, she only stayed a month. Now she is back at Westminster again after courses in Slippery Rock and Emerson College of Oratory. Miss Williams caught the old Westminster Spirit when she first came and she has never lost it. She is pepp -, energetic and willing to do ' most anything you ask her to do. Her students will tell you you can ' t get by in her classes. The Senior Lodge can testify as to her ability as a chaperon. She is a good sport and a valuable addition to the faculty. Miss Ina Hanna Chaperon of the Thompson House The girls of the Thompson House are erv fortu- nate in having as their chaperon Miss ina Hanna. Miss Hanna seems almost like a mother to the girls. She is so kind and thoughtful, never too busy to help someone and a charming hostess She is always anxious that the girls have a good time. Perhaps one of the best things that can be said about Miss Hanna is that every girl who is under her care this year in the Thompson House wants to be there again next year. In short, where could we find a more charming mother and chaperon than Miss Hanna. Twenty-seven

flRCQ u Charles Freeman, Ph.D. Dean and Professor of Cbemi:try It is hard to confine to so small a space what we would write in praise of our es- teemed instructor and friend, Dr. Freeman. As a teacher he compels our admiration for the clear, vivid and fascinating manner in which he presents his subjects. He is one of the warmest personal friends and earnest ad- visors of the students. He seeks to be a companion to every one, and in meeti ig him on the campus ou cannot help but feel the warmth of his genial smile and cheerful greeting. May he know that he always has with him the warm admiration and best wishes of the students. Mrs. Alice Strobridce Dean of Women The education of the girls at the Hill- side would be incomplete, were it not for the helpful care and wise supervision of our dean. Mrs. Strobridge has been a mother to all of us for the past two and a half years. She always thinks of our welfare and she does nothing without careful consideration of its outcome. Howeser, we do not always realize that she is doing her best for us, especially when we see the reflection of her candle coming down the hall; when we forget to sign up, when we get boisterous when the boys are downstairs; when we filter in the dining room or when we wind the Victrola like a watch. But when all is said and done, She is just the only one Who can be to us a mother, So you see, we want no other. Tweoty six n

flREQ J. D. Barr. M.A., D.D. Chair of Bible Doctor Barr — Westminster ' s conscientious man! His daily duties are performed to tiie very best of his ability for the best interests of his Biblical classes. 1 lis reverence, his kindheartedness, and his stature of mind and body, make him the real Chris- tain man that he is. But Doctor Barr has humor with his seriousness, too. If you don ' t believe it, just isit one of his classes some day and enjoy yourself with the beauti- ful pictures he draws on the board. Trulv, we find a man of real worth in Doctor Barr. R. G. Ferguson, D.D., LL.D. President limeritiis It is good for the hearts of all to meet again and again with Westminster ' s Grand Old Man. He is the most lovable and respected figure on the campus. The cares of a faculty meml.er and teacher have not dampened the warm spirit of fellowship that he extends to all, nor his ever-ready smile and kind, cheerful words. He is the embodiment of the spirit of Westminster. The college is as much a part of him as he is of it. 1 le likes to mingle freely with the student body and we are always glad to |-.a e him be just one of us. J.AMES Osc R Campbell, M.. ' ., D.D. Professor of History and Political Science Isn ' t he good looking? Well, he may not be hantlsome. but he surelv is good to Look at. When ()u enter his classroom and sink down into a chair in the back row, and look into Doc ' s face, a sort of peace and restfulness comes over your troubled soul. He has a knowledge of history that few men possess and that fairly amazes those who attend his classes. Doc is a true friend of us all and we feel that he can help us through manv difficulties. It surelv vsould be a poor student who wouldn ' t ha e a big warm spot in his heart for Doctor C ampbell Twenty-eight
