PUBLIC SPEAKING The public speaking course taken by all juniors has proved in- valuable, not only in preparing them for their senior orations, but in teaching them to speak in a self-confident manner, at ease before any audience. Every one realizes how this course benefits him, not only in public appearances, but in any situation of every day life. This course is ably taught by Miss Dorothy Edwards, who is also the director of the Dramatic Club, and faculty adviser of the Plattonian Society. Miss Edwards graduated from the Leland Powers School of the Theater, received her B. S. degree from Boston University, and taught at Endicott Junior College before coming to Seminary. She has proved a valuable friend to all, especially to seniors at the time of their orations. The training received in the public speaking classes will prove useful to us all through our lives, and we have greatly appreciated it. MISS EDWARDS LIBRARY The quiet, studious atmosphere of the Bennett Memorial Library is a direct reflection of the industry and the serious attitude of the typical Seminary student. Our library, which was donated by the Honorable Ziba Bennett in 1855, de- serves our proud consideration. It con- tains a fine collection of books and period- icals to aid in classroom instruction and to guide students in their recreational reading. Under the competent supervision of our pleasant and helpful new librarian, Mrs. Eleanor W. Caswell, and her able assistants, Miriam Davis, Joan Lieu, and Velma Bound, the library has increased advantages for the students and faculty of Wyoming Seminary. We all realize that the Bennett Lib- rary is the backbone of Seminary and that only through it may we fully realize the educational opportunities of our out- standing school. JOAN LIEU, MIRIAM DAVIS, VELMA BOUND ART The third floor of Sprague Hall houses the Art Department. If it were not for the students of this department, there would be no catchy posters announcing dances, plays, and the like, no colorful covers for the Opinator , and many other beautiful drawings such as those that annually adorn the Annual, Who is it that oversees the work of the future Rembrants? The genial Miss Helen V. Anderson, of course, whose cleverness in the art Held would be hard to excel. She teaches not only the fundamentals of drawing and the use of various mediums but also appreciation of art at its best. Another field represented is that of mechanical drawing, and many a successful engineer or architect has had his start in Sem- inary's art room. The quality of the work of Miss Anderson and her group is itself evidence of the importance and worth of this depart- mont. MISS ANDERSON

,.. Mr. C. C. Mack, Miss Stella Golomb OFFICE STAFF The office stall' is as vital a part of Seminary as the managers are to the athletic teams. With- out some one to take care of the mechanics of run- ning the school, the rest of the institution could not possibly function as smoothly. Mr. Mack and Miss Golomb are these men behind the gun so to speak. Proof of their efficiency is the regular mail deliveries and the promptness with which our report cards come home. R. Morris, Miss Dorothy Furnoch, Loraine Keller BOOK STORE Now located next door to the Dean's office, the bookstore has become an essential and friendly part of the daily life of Seminary. Whether it be stationery supplies, athletic equipment, or textbooks needed, or a bill to be paid, Dorothy Furnoh and her two assistants, Rhea Morris and Lorraine Keller, always stand ready to help you in an efficient and friendly manner.

Of all the phases of boarding school life, eat- ing is considered by many to be the most import- ant. Therefore, nothing can be more indispensable than the fine staff of twelve waiters who serve the dining room. The service this year has been ex- cellent because of the friendly, co-operative spirit of this group, the new facilities, and Miss Max- field's helpful suggestions and plans. It is widely agreed that much credit is due to Bill Morgan, the headwaiter for the past two years. Seminary can be proud of this quiet, efficient group that serves the boarders three meals a day.
