Johnson Carney Corser Cockburn Braden Gibson Erb Edson THE FACULTY THE faculty meets at sundry and odd times—around the postoffice boxes in the morning, in room 314 to make programs, sometimes at lunch, or Monday afternoons in whatever room the bulletin says—and grades and fails, honor students and plans, rules and methods all come up for discussion (bobbed hair even gets its innings). But three times this year the faculty has met away from school with none of these subjects in mind. On September the thirteenth, ninety broiled T-bone steaks were consumed by the faculty and their families at Glen-wood Park. On little red hot fires, steaks sizzled and coffee sent its fragrant aroma into the chill air. Autumn colorings. rustling leaves, a lovely sunset fed the souls of those who found mere steaks and coffee inadequate; there were none, it may be added, who scorned them altogether. As darkness came down, singing around a blazing bonfire occupied the majority; the minority searched industriously for the cutlery some enterprising cleaner-up had put in the fire. Miss Cockburn invited the women of the faculty to tea at her home on December the seventeenth. They talked by the fire in a gracious, flower-laden atmosphere and drank tea amidst a chatter of Christmas plans. Mr. Cook, with the good excuse for calling for his wife, came late and was prevailed upon to go to the tea table. Next morning he found this bit on his desk: “There was a young man so benighted He didn't know when he was slighted. He went to a party And ate just as hearty As though he’d been really invited.'' On March the thirteenth (teachers it will be noticed have no superstitions about thirteen; they will all start on their vacations on Friday the thirteenth this year) the Edison faculty entertained the staff of the Child Guidance Clinic. After a pleasant dinner in the delightful atmosphere of the Glenwood chateau to the accompaniment of music by the Edison Girls' Orchestra, that near classic. “She Thinks She Smells Smoke. was given by faculty members, and Dr. Lawson G. I.owrey spoke about his work and its relation to the schools. Page 10

Johnson Wallace Teslie Tuttle Lomnicki Pile Martinson By June, spring-fever has done its deadly work, and teachers are relieved that the last note-books, experiments, and themes have been handed in and O Ked. Eagerly they turn to new scenes, new faces, new plans. Breakfast in bed. time to read the morning paper, an opportunity later in the day of renewing acquaintance with the downtown streets and parks of Minneapolis is all that many ask. and these will pleasantly and profitably put in their time at home. For others the call of the Ten Thousand Lakes is strong, and they will seek cottages by the water, trails through the forests, fish in the streams, rest and peace and space where they may be found. Those whose homes are in other states —Iowa. Montana. Wisconsin. Dakota —will tell there the tale of Minnesota. Then there are some, ambitious souls, who will study: half a dozen will be at the University of Minnesota, three at Columbia, three in California. Others will travel. Some will see Niagara, the Thousand Islands. Boston. Virginia, and all points between, via cars-toot-toot. Fords, and other makes. Some will go west: California has a summer song that lines as well as a winter one. Two. at least, will go to Europe; Miss McMillan will spend the summer in England, and Miss Bruce will visit Greece and Egypt as well as Italy. France, and England. There are those who. when asked about their summer plans, were not so definite: some did not know: for others, the state of their finances after the June bills were paid would decide: one man desired to be searched. Others were more definite: one man s summer will be spent in a bee yard, and a woman is sure that hers will be in St. Peter due to over-stiers of school work. September will find everyone back with all the crabbiness and crankiness removed. anxious for the pay check ahead, fit and ready for a new year's work, and glad to greet their friends, the students.
