She at this time is starring in Ye Goddsf' She has never been out of the United States, with the exception of the time she went to visit Lady Algernon DuPoint. Dorothy Fox. To the members of the class of '24 who have not followed the progress of their class, this is the surprise. Dorothy Fox is the head of the Fox- Cooper seminary for girls. The seminary is one of the best and most up-to-date of any in the country now. Miss Fox and Miss Mildred Cooper, of the faculty of the school year of '23-'24, founded the i11stitu- tion in 1930, and its progress since then has been surprising. lt is located at Hill City, Kansas. and this year there is an enrollment of more than three thousand young ladies from all over the country. Miss Fox is the president of the institution and Miss Mildred Cooper, of the faculty of the year of '24 is the vice president and co-owner with Miss Fox. Both are k11own among the leading educators of the coun- try at the present time. Miss Ruth E. jackson, also of the faculty of Danville in the year the class graduated, is the head of the language department of the school. In this department Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and Chinese are taught. Miss Opal Bosstick is a member of the faculty for the commercial depart- ment of the school. Many leading business houses of the country send to this semin- ary to secure stenographers. Louise Mit- chell is the deall of women. C. C. Hillis is the secretary and treasurer of the institution. So wisely have the funds been handled that plans are under way to build an additional building to the institution within the next few years. Un- der the plan at the present time, with the addition of the new building, the school wll be changed to a co-educational school. An enrollment of about one thousand young men will be sought. Prospective candidates for the head of the boys' part of the school are Harlan Hadley, present editorial sports writer in St. Louis, a rising teacher by the name of Taylor, and a science instructor named Lemley. The position of dean of men at the present time lies between K. H. Smith, of Webb Center, and J. R. Shannon, of Washington, D. C. It seems very probable that with the ex- pansion of the institution, basket ball will be introduced as a sport. It has been fought for some years by Miss Fox, but it is thought that with the addition, she will consent to it. There are three classes of women-the intelleetulal, the beautiful, and the majority
