M E II 1 I L .„„( ni Y S H; 1 1 E II II I! I T I (I I What about the chedule? GiuLs seeking medical udvicc don ' t hesitate to go to Dr. Florence L. Swanson, who never fails to cheer up even the sickest with her sympathy, sense of humor, and stories of her native Montana mountains. She is especially interested in Psychia- try and in social problems. She has an artistic side too, as is shown in her collection of pictures that she clips from advertisements, and in the fact that she makes her own Christmas cards. She dresses neatly in becoming clothes, and she has beautiful hands. Miss Hagy, before she became the nurse in the infirmary, was a night nurse at the Emory hospital, and at one time a teacher of obstetrics at Emory. She is energetic, ambitious, always does her work well and on time, and is popular with patients. Miss Ruth Baskin assists Miss Hagy at the in- firmary. She is a Cum Laude graduate of Girls ' High in Atlanta, where she received outstanding recognition in Bible; she took her nurse ' s training course at the Grady Hospital, and is now pursuing her studies here. The Physical Education Department helps the students fill their gym requirements. The department is headed by Dr. Swanson, and the Associate Professor is Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, who spent the first part of the year contacting alumnae throughout the country in an effort to gain support for the enlargement of Agnes Scott. After her graduation from Agnes Scott she received a Master ' s degree at Columbia University. Her hearty laugh ringing out through the gymnasium helps to relieve many a girl from the worries of the classroom. Mrs. Harriette Haynes Lapp, Assistant Professor, is in charge of the dancing classes, which we see is no small job when we realize that this includes creating the dances for M ay Day, as well as regular routine work throughout the year. She is especially interested in the German language and people. It was during one of her trips to Germany that she met her husband, who is Dr. Adolphe Lapp. Miss Elisabeth Mitchell, Assistant in Physical Education, has been taking up horseback riding this year with real enthusiasm. Tennis and basketball are the special activities un der her direction. She is a star member of the faculty basket- ball team, which engages in the Brown Jug Tournament every year. Many of the dancing classes are under the direction of Miss Eugenie Louise Dozier, who is an Agnes Scott alumna. Probably her most popular class is the one in which she teaches social dancing, by showing all of the latest steps used in ballroom dancing. Miss Hagy, Miss Chapell, and Dr. Swanson check the list of patients while Moscle looks on.

THE LIBRIRT The Library boasts of an efficient and well-trained staff, under the able direction of Miss Edna Ruth Hanley. She IS always ready to search for any obscure fact that a student may need for her term paper, and she finds it with little difficulty. She is fond of languages, especially of German, and IS a loyal supporter of German Club in helping the members sing Christmas carols during the holiday season. She is inter- ested in architecture too, having helped design the Library, and written a book about the plans of various libraries in the United States. Miss Laura Colvin, as Miss Hanley ' s assistant, keeps the office running smoothly. She also works in the Emory Library. Miss Evelyn Houck helps make the Library the pleasant place that it is for studying. She is friendly, helpful, and popular among the students. Her constant good humor lends a light mood to the study-producing surroundings. She likes to reminisce about her college days in Alabama. Miss Mary Pennel Simonton helps Miss Houck keep up the gay part of the atmosphere. This is her first year as a member of the faculty, being a 1939 alumna of Agnes Scott. While a student at Agnes Scott she was especially inter- ested in dramatics and took part in several Blackfriars plays. Miss Agnes Reagan became a member of the Library staff this year, having completed her Library Course at Emory. Arkansas is her native state, and she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at the state university. Our hats are off to all of our capable librarians for the good job that they do in keeping the Library a practical, pleasant work shop. Library science by Misses Colvin, Reagan, Houck, and Simont.
