el- 11 Mrcmt BURGER Q35 +--CM Tl-IE FACULTY: AN APPRECIATION Thou wer! our guide, flIff0S0f1l07', and f1fz'mzdf' Now that we realize that we are to sit as learners at the feet of the Faculty no longer, we begin to appreciate the worth of the daily intercourse. At first. we were inclined to look for aid from other sources, but as the years passed by we came to know and love our Faculty. We began to feel their sympathy with all our student interests and the willingness and eagerness with which they always helped us. W'e have met the teachers face to face, seen their intelligence and ability, and have found inspiration in all our tasks. It was South who said, Ile that governs well leads the blind: but he that teaches gives him eyesf' Qur teachers are skillful not only in the sciences which they teach, but also in the method of teaching. They have broken no promises, served no private ends, gained no title, but in the years to come may they see an abundant harvest of the good seed they have sown. Possessing great tact and earnestness, they have two chief requisites of the successful Faculty. Our teachers have patiently counselled and directed us through our most difficult years at school. They set forth examples of lives devoted to a noble purpose, allowing nothing to prevent the fulfillment of their duties. VVe appreciate their kindly interest in our welfare and leave with sincere regrets. W'e thank every member of the Faculty for the sacrifices made for us and for the cheerfulness shown at all times. We have spent four important years of our lives under their care and have received the training, which forms a large part of the equipment for life, under their faithful guidance. Vkle have passed through this course with a deep conviction that each department is presided over by one worthy to represent it. VVe cannot repay our teachers for all they have done, but we trust that our lives will be centers of greater influence for having been under their wise and patient guidance. Wle truly think of our Faculty as ........ . such better souls Communing in an equal fellowship, As clear in intellect, as brightly clear In every high conception, and as warm In all emotions . . lending Their inspiration unto all who feel The glow of their benignity and dwell Blessed in their steady sunshine. -BON NIE Mu: BEAM.

.1.1. THE NECKLENBUBGEH -1-ees THE FACULTY It was decided by a popular vote of the Faculty that the pictures of the faculty members would not appear in this volume of The MvrkIv1zInn'gvr. For that reason the following articles appear. ln these we have made an attempt to portray our instructors as we see them: not only that, but we want to show the progress and merits of each department. THE OFFICE All things must have a beginning, even so with this article. The natural starting point for a discussion of the school and its activities is the office. Here new plans for the betterment of our system are constantly being formulated. Miss Frances Beatty, Dr. Garringer's secretary, is never too busy to stop alld listen to our tales of Woe and graciously give us an Admit Card. Miss Beatty herself was a member of the student body last year, but her present position does not rob her of sympathy. This completes Dr. Elmer H. Garringer's second year with us, During these two years he has put forth every effort to make our school one of the best. The results of the system now in operation, the key-note of which is co-operation, prove its merit. Dr. Garringer is right with us in our athletics and his loyalty and school spirit is an inspiration to the whole student body. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT ln this department students are trained for the business world. Mrs. Myrtle Asbury is at the head of this course and instructs the students in typ-ewriting and shorthand. VVe can count on Mrs. Asbury and her students to help us put anything across when it comes to typewriting. The work of this department is one of the big things in our school. The students are tirm believers in the maxim that practice makes perfect. As we pass down the hall we can hear the steady, musical click, click of their typewriters and sometimes we wonder if they are not all musicians. A course in retail salesmanship has been installed this year. Although this subject is new, we feel sure that under Miss Carolyn Rita Holt's able supervision it will be very successful. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Herein lies our strength. The work of this department is in the hands of thirteen capable instructors: The English course is directed by Miss Jessie Henderson, Miss Minnie Downs, Mrs. E. H. Garringer, Miss Margaret Newland, Miss Lucille Little, and Miss Ethel Rea: in the mighty subject of Latin we are taught by Miss Ellie P. Grier, Miss Anna Mae Donnan, and Miss Georgia Neal: Miss Katherine Blett Smith and Miss Connie Horne have charge of the French studentsg Mrs. Elizabeth Hoyle Rucker and Mrs. Helen Laughlin have charge of the Spanish students. We regard English as a major in our Senior year and we appreciate the untiring efforts of Miss Jessie Henderson and Miss Downs i11 helping us in our attempts to conquer this subject. As for Junior English-go to it, Juniors, your trials now were ours last year, and we came out all right and so can you, with Mrs. ,Garringer and Miss Jessie to direct you. You will always End them ready and willing to help you over the rough places. Miss Little 59612.52 Civ L
