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.

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
