l BERTHA MARY LEIGHTON Instructor in Secretarial Studies Hiking and mountain climbing are Miss Leighton's hobbies. We all wish she would take us with her on some of her tripsg perhaps we could read those transcripts better on some mountain peak. Miss Leighton finds that college girls are more courteous than highfschool girls, and that in college she is not troubled with problems of discipline. WINIFRED HOWLAND RoGERs, AB. Instructor in Secretarial Studies I have no hobby, but because I feel the lack of it, I advise everyone to find and cultivate some kind of hobby. We need no training to judge great art, whether in music, painting, or sculpture. The galleries and museums of Boston provide excel' lent material for study and entertainf ment which are free of charge, and we should avail ourselves of them. DoRorHY BRIGHAM COREY, B.S.S. Instructor in Secretarial Studies Miss Corey thinks we can change our faces without the use of rouge and powder. Four years in college almost invariably changes a girl's expression. College enriches her per' sonality, and her constantly increasf ing graciousness is reflected in her face, in her dress, and in her manner. j 4 ref She says that the girls also develop through a process of givefandftake from one another. Personal contacfr with the Faculty is another factor, and shebelieves that it behooves the Faculty to set a good example. It is an important part of their duty to the studeniljid to their profession. .SV f 27

r l l 1 l i l I il HESTER ALLEN PITRIS, A.B. Instructor in Secretarial Studies 'If you can summon a smile to meet the demands life makes upon you, your 'best' will be infinitely more attractive to others, and you will be happier in the doing. Some, thing to think about, isn't it? ELIZABETH WOLVERTON CARVELL Instructor in Secretarial Studies work in a private cofeducational boarding school. Then she came to C. S. S. with its ninety students, and has watched it become P. A. L. with its hundreds of students. I am asked to give a message for the girls. Of the many I might send, I shall choose this one: Keep smiling what' ever comes into your lives. If I might be allowed to add one more, I'd say: Don't buy an automobile until you can have a chauffeur to operate it. Very good advice, we think. HAZEL MARION PURMORT, A.B. Instructor in Secretarial Studies I I l 3 W r l l 'I profess not talking, only this M -Let each man do his bestf .i I never before felt any call to il supplement Shakespeare, but to my 4 mind, there is one thing to be added I -the smile. A Miss Carvell finds teaching full of , interest, enthusiasm, and fun-not the p humdrum work that it is sometimes I called. She began teaching in an un' I graded country school, and lived from - Monday until Friday in a farmhouse, ' where she learned to eat apple pie 5 three times a day. She also acquired the skill of keeping a fire in a cylinder stove with green hard wood as fuel. I Teaching in a large city high school u followed her experience as principal V in a graded school and subsequent l Miss Purmort may almost be 5 called our ofHcial chaperone, which i means that we think she is just about l right. She tells me that she thinks l the same of us, and that our spirit here is excellent. The fact that we , all mingle together, sorority and non- sorority girls, goes a long way to bring about a lasting love for P. A. L. i l ' 26 I I l i I 4 I The many clubs and organizations make us feel that we belong, and this contentment is carried into the classroom. On the other hand, a teacher should inspire the pupils to greater knowledge. judging by the questions that are asked, she feels that we are truly seeking wisdom and understanding.

l I LOUISE HENRY SMITH, Ed.B. Instructor in Secretarial Studies Miss Smith tells this one: The Boss: 'Is it true that you leave your typewriter and go when the clock strikes five, even if you are in the middle of a word?' The Stenographer: 'Certainly not. When it gets as near five as that, I never begin a word at all.' ANNIE MCCLINTOCK Director of Physical Education When I went to see Miss McClinf tock, she firmly refused to talk about flatfheeled shoes, and all the other things which we associate with her profession. Instead, she told me that she likes to teach physical education because the girls are so much inter' ested in it. Everyone wants to keep well, therefore, hygiene and physical education are vital subjects to us all. The various kinds of demands made upon her, from hairpins to medical advice, make life interesting. She is very fond of music, outfoffdoor sports, sewing and traveling. What a won' derful trip she had last summer! MARY HELEN CAMPBELL Assistant in Physical Education In whatever line of work a girl may be engaged, especially if she is working with other girls, she should strive for a sense of loyalty and fair play. No one can succeed who thinks only of herself and of getting ahead of her neighbor. This is true of the 28 business world as well as of the professional world. If a young woman wishes to be above the ordinary type, she must develop self' control, loyalty, and a sense of fair play. These qualities are necessary for advancement in any field ofworkf'
