DANVILLE, 1008. 11 Frances Pearson Meeks, Ph. B., M. Pd., who has charge of the various history classes, ranks very high as a historian and as instructor in this branch. She has made the work highly interesting, as well as profitable. Mrs. Meeks has had thorough training, having graduated from our school, Illinois Wesleyan University, Michigan State Normal and Cornell University. Mary D. Hawkins, our mathematics instructor, has been with our school for sixteen years, which is proof enough of her high qualities as an instructor. Flavilla Grant, A. B., graduated from our school with the class of 181)4, from whence she went to Fort Worth University, graduating there with high honors. She has charge of the beginning Fnglish classes in which she dearly loves to lecture to our small and microsopic Freshmen, advising them as to the best methods of progress during their course in our school. She assisted very materially in the Senior play, “Scenes in the Union Depot,” which through her efforts was near perfection.

10 THE MEDLEY, VOL. V. Rhue Myrtle Miller, Ph. B., who has charge of the work in German, first organized our German club which has become through her efforts very popular as well as beneficial in an educational way. As a chaperon to class parties, she stands unsurpassed, and has the love of every student in the school. Miss Bertha Harper, B. S., came to our school after finishing the domestic science course in our state university at Urbana, where she was a member of the Chi Omega Sorority. Although unable to obtain any boys in her classes, through her untiring efforts she has made the work very interesting for most of the girls, in learning the various facts required to become efficient “housewives.” Occasionally the faculty are treated to “spreads’ so they may decide for themselves what really has been done in spending the “dough.” Clara Louise Ross, A. B., at the head of the Latin department, is an alumnus of Lake Forest University. As concerns her work in Latin, she has made it very interesting for the student body, and indeed has a complete knowledge of this ancient language, so that she is fully equipped to present it to the struggling student. Carl H. Bramer, A. B., who is another German instructor, graduated from Beloit College with an A. B. degree. Through his earnest efforts Danville triumphed over Kankakee in debate to such a large degree that they were not in it for a minute. He has given invaluable aid to our orators and debaters.
