') i Stye Jarultg ATHERED together at Tempo, in the fruitful Valley of the Salt River, under Arizona’9 blue sky, are twenty - two selected men and women holding sway over the realm known as the Tempo Normal School. At the head of this little kingdom is one Arthur John Matthews, of royal bearing and ample size. On St. Patrick’s Day he forgoes the wearing of the green, for, as he says, the map of Ireland on his face is suf- ficient indication of his ancestry. The “Old Guard” consists of Professors Irish, Hall, Frizzell, Anderson and Johnston. These have been members of the Normal Faculty longest and are well known to Alumni and friends of the Normal as Normal students’ best friends. Prof. Ayers leaves us this year to continue his work in University. But it is sincerely hoped that he will return again to take up his work in Tompe. Dr. Bolton has been a ruler in the Normal kingdom for two years only. He is the only bachelor on the teaching staff and has proved himself a friend and benefactor to every student with whom he comes in contact. His genial, open-hearted manner has won him many friends, both in tiie Normal and in Tempo. Prof. Clark holds sway over the Manual Training Department and has turned out from it many capable teachers in this subject. In the Normal proper there arc only three lady teachers—Miss Burgess, Miss Francis and Miss Fernandez. The first has been with us this year only, but has won her way into the heart of every Normal student, and her work is such as to elevate the Normal standard just a little higher. Miss Francis is ruler over Domestic Arts, and her capability is questioned by none, whilo Miss Fernandez makes Spanish a real pleasure by her enthusi- asm for it. Prof. Felton has the reputation of being able to accomplish more work than any man in Tempc, and he certainly live up to it. Though seemingly a hard driver, he is popular with all of his students and is ever ready to give a helping hand. Miss Dobbs, Secretary to the Pesident and Board, comes in contact with the whole student body and knows every individual in school. She comforts the grieving and praises the successful, and is ever a friend to all. Mr. Phelps, Director of the Training School for the past year, has de- parted to take up work in San Diego. His enthusiasm for his work and his ready counsel have been very valuable to every member of the Class of 1911. 9

When we tum to the Faculty of the Training School we find the people who cause the difference between Juniors and Seniors. It is in the Training School for the first time that we come to a full realization of the meaning of our work. Miss McNulty is undoubtedly the best primary teacher in Arizona, and it would be difficult to find her superior any place. Miss Lynd’s gracious manner and abounding faith in humanity puts many a Senior on her best behavior and inspires her to do her best. Miss Haulot demands promptness and attention, and Seniors usually give her both. Miss Critchley is sweet and gracious to all, giving freely of her best that the raw Juniors may be converted into worthy Seniors. In short, all of the Critic teachers work in harmony, giving their very best to both Seniors and Training School pupils. In future years, any success attained by the Seniors must in part be ac- credited to the right start given them by the Faculty of the Training School. There is one more silent member of the Faculty whose work seems to be easy, but which in reality requires tactful management to be successful, namely, the matron of the Girls’ Dormitory. For three years this position has been filled by Mrs. May Belle Blakely and it is the sincere wish of every girl in the Dormitory that the some person may bo in charge next term.
