University of Minnesota of Minnesota of Minnesota FACULTY DECAUSE many studeius have expressed an interest in knowing to which colleges our faculty members have gone, the names of those schools at which the teachers have done the majority of their work are given in this section. Several changes were made in our teaching staff this term. At the beginning of the fall semester Miss Birkmaicr, Miss Leland. Mr. Porter, and Mr. Guzy began teaching at Edison. Miss Leland t x k over the classes of Mrs. ingebretson, who is no longer with the physical education department. Added to the faculty the second semester were Miss McCullough and Mr. Hume, of the English and commercial departments respectively. Miss Ber, who taught German in Edison for a number of years, is in Hawaii this year as an exchange teacher. The informal faculty snapshots at the end of this section hear strong evidence to the fact that our instructors, besides managing their teaching duties and oftentimes advising some school club, still find time to develop many-sided personalities. Some of them, with a leaning toward the more practical things of life, devote their spare moments to vegetable gardens or bee farms; others of the active type spend their leisure time in golfing, playing tennis, and horseback riding; while still others prefer traveling to any other form of amusement. When the students realize what a wide range of interests and abilities their instructors possess, they have a much better opportunity of establishing personal and pleasant relationships with them.

The work of this small, efficient group is vastly important; the smoothness of a day’s routine depends a good deal on their efforts. Mrs. Rcndernick, in charge of the library, is assisted by Miss Chandonnet. The management of the lunchroom is the responsibility of Mrs. Claussen. She is aided by a group of women, two girls, a janitor, and the members of Miss Garvey’s cafeteria classes. Mr. Stewart, chief engineer, is at the head of a crew of competent janitors. Together these people make up a small group of vastly responsible persons; their entire day is given to the service of others — to the administrations, to the faculty, and to the students. They have proved themselves to he highly reliable; we admire and respect them for the effective way in which they perform their respective duties in our school. A characteristic of each department, the office, the library, and the cafeteria, is the corporative method they use in their work. Each is a helpmate to the other, and all devote the majority of their time to the students. C 183
