There's QI li always a convenient corner of Miss Kellar s desk on which to -sit, although 1 3' Q I do have to be careful not to leave paw marks on her typewriting papers. fl Miss Kellar is the baby of the faculty, but I don't think that limits gtg her to the tiniest place in each student's heart. No, not at all. In fact, QI? I believe she holds a pretty big place there. All the girls hope that P. A.

That may sound unex- -. citing to you, but to me it means that I am going to the movies with one of the world's sweetest people-Mrs. Rich. No, it won't cause trouble- M my fiancee understands perfectly, for she, too, knows Mrs. Rich. Q QQ Mrs. Rich is an understanding friend and a sympathetic teacher, with an If unusual gift of combining appreciation of the beautiful and the practical. ifgj She has a keen interest in accounting Cwhat could be more practical?J and a deep love for the sea Cwhat could be more beautiful?D and whether she is discussing debit and credit, or remembering wind-tossed surf crash- all ing against gray rocks, she shows equal enthusiasm. Perhaps P. A. L. is 32 responsible for her sound sense of values-at any rate, I'd better run along il and call for her, or else I'1l be late.

A A II, H K E Assistcmt Profesisor of Secretarial Studies I Yes, Kappa, I do- love dogs, and especially Boston Terriers l declared Miss Purmort as she gave me- a shorthand notebook to sit on. And even if I've ne-ver had you in class, I feel that we kno-w each other pretty well, after this interview. h And I certainly do kno-w her- well. Listen to what I found out about er. She is just one of the jo-lliest people that I have ever known-and how she can laugh over' a good joke! And she's just crazy over that car of hers. However, did you ever' know that she has one awful failing-and tha,t's a sweet-tooth? I remember a houseparty I went on not so long ago whlch she chaperoned. One of the girls made fudge, really the most delicious fudge I ever tasted. I don't know whether I sho-uld tell tales out of school, but it didn't last very long! And I didn't eat it either! Perhaps it's her fondness for sweets that has made Miss Purmort such a favorite with P. A. L. At any rate it's a well-known fact that she's Aunt Hazel to many of us. And Aunt Hazel will she remain for many' years after we have all put aside our caps and gowns. CYes, I do wear a cap and gownlj IIKE w. Q-- s -. -. one o-f the instruments of the orchestra--and I guess my face showed that I expected a scolding, for Miss Bello-ws laughed in that gay, happy way of hers, and said, Don't be frightened. I'll show you what it's for- And she did, so thoroughly and pleasantly that I quite lost my heart to her, and came very near forsaking my journalistic career for the chores of an oflice dog. And whe-n I heard someone say to her, Hello, Pete! I was quite enraptured. If you can call your instructor by a nickname outside the , classroom, just think ho-w easy it is to ask explanations of her in class. I ELIZABETH WOLVERTON CARVELL . Imstructofr m Seefreta,rw,l Studzes .I was sitting beside a- black, shiny, efficient-looking object with white, nickel-bound keys in Miss Carvell's office, while she was very briskly writ- 1ng in red pencil on some papers with funny little curlicues and things that looked like overgrown quotation marks scrawled all over them. Aren't freshmen the most original beings you eve-r saw ? she said, lavghiilg heartlly. Some of their outlines look like nothing Mr. Gregg ever invented. .I was go-ing to ask who Mr. Gregg was, but decided it was beneath my dignity to display any ignorance. A After a few preliminary remarks concerning the health of Miss Car- vellfs Angora cat-one must be polite, you know-we began to talk. She 1n.v1ted me to visit her classesu. I soon learned why it is that all her pupils love her. Haye you ever seen a teacher so patient, so sweet, even under the most trying clrcumstances? When a girl, studying shorthand with her for the third year, still insisted in spe-lling overlook as two words, and forgot the enclosure Cwhatever that ish, Miss Carvell merely smiled and said, Now, that isn't going to happen again, is it? Just as I had settled down comfortably with the prospect of a happy ilaja r1n'P. A. L., Steve poked his -nose through the crack of the open door. e .

I never see her 4 , around. i if i Why, Kappa, exclaimed Steve, in disgust, didn't you know that she is ' I , teaching in night school? ' I T Not really ! said I. Well, I guess I'll have to go and visit one of ' Q her classes and see how she is getting along these days. i I I And so I did. I found Mrs. Merrill just as competent and efficlent in I I r her night classes as she was in her day classes. And was she glad to see I me! ' - r i Give my re-gards to all the day students, she said. I'd like to see 'N some of them again. I I And so I trotted away, very glad that I had been to see Mrs. Merrill -. among h-er new students. For when I have known a person as lo-ng as I knew Mrs. Merrill, it is queer not ever to see her around, and yet kno-w that she still teaches here. Stay and visit her sometime. I know she'll be glad to see you. I EDWIN MARSHALL ROBINSON, A.B.

It did not take long for me to explain that I wanted a little talk-and we had a delightful half ho-ur. You must visit my oflice, downtown, he said, and as he told me V about It, I began to se-e Just Why Mr. Robinson has been so successful in his work here. He has had extensive experience in dealing with people, and has a Secret formula for turning out perfect secretaries. I I began to be a little frightened when he to-ld me that his office efficiency plan extended even to the office dog, but his hearty laugh reassured me. - Ive heard that he slips a good many laughs into his lectures, too, and when the laugh is on him,-well-he laughs all the more heartily. And theuintuition that gave me my superior position in dogdom tells me , that here is one professor that never loses his temper! I . L y. ,p 1 9 H 9 Q U Q I IRON R bf 1 hirly-sin: I
