Adams Respected by us all as a friend and adviser, Dean Adams cheerfully carries out his many duties. He was born in Maine and still has the refreshing char- acteristics of a New Englander. Dean Adams came to Seminary in 1820 after returning safely from the First World War. He is the man who donates so many bells and demerits, a task of which he is not particularly fond. Dean Adams, as head of the Mathematics Department, teaches advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry, and thoroughly enjoys solving a difficult problem. Being an ardent traveler and amateur photographer, he is waiting patiently until he can continue these hobbies. Dean Adams has a unique sense of humor, and Seminary would not be Seminary Without him. Miss Erma E. Foster Miss Foster, preceptress at Wyoming Seminary, is a graduate of Oberlin College and she has her master's degree from Cornell. Here, Miss Foster teaches algebra. Since she is preceptress, her duties are many and varied, but the most .important is to give the girls help at anytime they may need it. She genuinely enjoys doing this, and perhaps that is the reason Miss Foster is so helpful and so much a part of Seminary. Miss Foster reads Whenever she has time, and the collecting of stamps, coins, and paperweights is her hobby.

.l 'a Y, , flip b l l l , YY, Dr. Wilbur H. Fleck Much of the success of the school at the present time and for the past thirty-four years is due to Dr. Fleck's skill and experience in secondary education and administrative work. Dr. Fleck was born in and grew up in our own state of Pennsylvania. After attending coun- try schools, he entered Gettysburg College, where he became a mem- ber of Phi Beta Kappa. Then for four years at Hazleton High School Dr. Fleck, as vice-principal, taught Latin and mathematics and coached football. Next he attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his M.A. degree. Two years later Dr. Fleck came to Sem- inary, where he started his career by teaching Latin. In 1917 Dr. Fleck became Dean and in 1936, President. Since Dr. Fleck has been president at Seminary, he has had many obstacles to surmount. In 1936 there was the iiood and since then the problems of war to be coped with. In spite of these difficulties Dr. Fleck has succeeded in keeping the wheels of education rolling, and even now the visions of Seminary's great future are beginning to formulate into plans for new dormitories and other renovations. In addition to his administrative position, Dr. Fleck teaches Virgil, ethics, and phychology. For rest and relaxation our busy president spends a good part of his time reading, biological and philosophical works being his favorite type of literature. Otherwise Dr. Fleck loves to travel and did so quite extensively during pre-war days and will continue to do so after the peace is Won. -.,.l ,Hifi lu' Y .fx V317 l QP' Aglfaip' JW, .' f' All 1 5 .
