Good themes are rare in the Eng- lish classes. but Professor Wilson occasionally finds one which pro- vides a good chuckle. The English office is a place where Professors Wilson, Geronimo, and Gurney plot the downfall of unsuspecting students. Language Is the Ba i Stud Mr. Geronimo is calm and serene until he starts to interpret a poem or explain a novel. Professor W. L. Wilson is the philosopher of the English department, and adds zest to his English composition and speech classes' with Tidbits of his philosophy of lite. Mr. John Geronimo, young instructor of English literature and composition, has a few interpretations of literature which are original and sometimes exotic. As are telephones, Mrs. Georgie Gurney is ubiquitous. Besides teaching Eng- lish literature and composition, she takes an active part in Glee Club, Seminar, German Club and Social Committee, iniecting vim and vigor into these organi- zations. Miss Lucia S. Kegler, congenial, vivacious instructor ot three Romance lan- guages, speaks English with ease. Miss Kegler teaches not only the language of France, Spain, and Ger- many to her students but the art, customs, and geography of these . , . Beneath Mrs. Georgie Gurneys natural enthusiasm and Counmes as well' friendly extrovert personality ,there lies a caustic wit, which bursts forth in her English composition classes.

Those students sitting around with their chins in their hands are not idle, they are Mr. Lewis' students contemplating Plato, Huxley, and Adam Smith. Besides being Dean of the college, Dr. Archer Jones entertains his students in European history and political science with colorful sidelights and illustra- tions. His is a nimble mind, full of historical facts and statistical detail to illus- trate any situation. Beneath the rough voice of Edward L. Henson lies the friendly sympathetic personality of a historian whose bark is worse than his bite. He plans gay social functions such as the Holly Ball and the Spring Formal. Mrs. Helen Lewis is professor of sociology, besides being sponsor of the OUT- POST and chief problem solver on the campus. She is patient, understanding and popping with good ideas. Dr. H. Stuart Bacon, a clinical psychologist with the University of Tennessee, comes up from Knoxville each week to work with the local U.M.W. Hospital.
