Technical Directors james E. Adams Miss Foster There is no teacher on our campus so greatly respected as Miss Foster. Boarder girls, who prob- ably know her better than the other students, find in her a true friend, eager to help and advise them whenever they are in difficulty. As Preceptress, she has won the hearts of all through her abilitly to manage the affairs of Swetland, and she has won recognition in the school world as an excellent mathematics teacher. Miss Foster was born in Dundee, New York, and graduated from Oberlin, where she majored in sociology. She took graduate courses at Ober- lin, Syracuse, and Cornell. Besides her duties as Preceptress, she teaches mathematics, and still finds time to read and to pursue several hobbies. More than anything, Miss Foster likes to discuss with the girls their plans and problems. It is impossible to thank her enough for her innumerable kindnesses to thc dormitory girls. Dean Adams Our Dean, tall and distinguished looking, is one of the paramount reasons for Wyomi1ig's present- day high standing among secondary schools. A New Englander from down Maine , the Dean conducts his administrative duties with experienced proficiency. In addition to assigning classes, iron- ing out demerit difficulties, and keeping the stu- dent body running on an even keel, he heads the Mathematics Department and teaches a class in advanced algebra. Indeed, most of his time is spent in solving problems, whether they be in math- ematics or in some phase of a Seminary undergrad- uate's life. Receiving his Bachelors Degree from the Uni- versity of Maine, Dean Adams continued his edu- cation by earning a Masters Degree at Columbia. Wyoming Seminary could not function as success- fully as she does if it were not for the understand- ing, just, and efficient guidance given to her students by Dean Adams. Erma E. Foster
