Payne: English, B.S. Mary E. Russell: Spanish, A.B. Zoe G. Scott: English, A.B. Helen E. Swanson: English, A.B., M.A. scores again. Did you know that our language department is very good because Miss Coehrs studied in Spain, Miss Lok, in Germany, Miss Kreuger, in France, Miss Russell, in Mexico, and Mrs. Burton, in Rome and Greece? Or that Miss Brown, the first woman dean of girls at Libbey and a former presi- dent of the T. T. A., has an honorary life membership in the National Education Association? You surely remember that arrival of William Douglas on the very day that his young daddy, Mr. Everhart, began the sale of doughnuts that was to land a mimeograph in the English department! And weren't the freshman thrilled when Miss Swanson told of her motoring through Sweden, while Miss Gosline, Mr. Everhart, and Mrs. Mills chatted of European trips also. As yet Miss DeLisle and Miss Gerdes have not written their travel books, although the former has had poems and articles published, while Miss Gerdes loves to reminisce about her visit to Queen Wilhelmina's castle and the beautiful Words- worth country. Books-why, they're food and drink to Miss Scott! Always enthusiastic Miss Payne goes and goes, but on the way she does things: a text book for the Y. W. C. A., called Famous Women , assistant directorship of Vacation Bible Schools of Ohio, president of T. T. A. Mr. Leiser, young and learned, is editing The Tattler which will be published by the Oxford University Press, was Ter- centenary scholar at Harvard, and will be visiting scholar at the University of Chicago. To Mrs. Burton honor came when she contributed to the Macmillan Company pictures of models made in her Latin classes to be used in Ullman and Henry's Latin texts. Who hasn't heard Miss May launch forth on her hobby of speech and the value of courtesy? And don't you remember Miss Dusha as she trotted gaily off to her French and Italian clubs or to give a book review, perhaps, and when you insisted on know- ing said reluctantly, Yes, I do write and I have lectured in several states besides Ohio, and as a charter member of the women's group of the Alumni Association of Columbia University I was invited to the jubilee dinner ofNicholas Murray Butler at the Waldorf-Astoria . Her love of flowers makes Miss Irwin's room a lovely place for her students to think and grow wiser in-and isn't she generous with her car! Who know, for instance, that out own junior dean was the first student council president at the Univer- sity of Maine, that Mr. Baker talked with Franklin Delano Roosevelt at the Democratic convention in 1920, that Mr. Vander's hobby is philatelics and antique furniture, or that Miss Feller learned to

GLI H AND LA AGES Some nifty models, including the one at the right of the top picture Since the seniors' long themes, the library has done a rushing business It takes a lot of doing to make a peppy faculty, but just listen to the results of the peeping, pry- ing Edelian staff if you would know what Libbey is made of on the teacher side! Pried loose from their text books, the faculty revealed facts both grave and gay, and with this knowledge Libbey Ruth A. Dusha: English, Head of Department, A.B., M.A. G. Maude Brown: English, B.S., M.A. Pauline E. Burton: Latin, A.B. Theresa M. Coehrs: English-Spanish, A.B. Angela M. Costigan: Latin, B.S. in Ed., M.A.

HI TORY USIC polish epigrams while she was trotting round the world? Or could you imagine Miss Lutton owning and managing a farm- and with efficiency, too? We know already the skill of Miss Costigan in dramatics, and Miss Eberth's arrangement of her history tests and programs is as crisp as the report of a gun. When Miss Waite picks up her Buick coupe and floats to St. Ignace each summer, she plans her trips for the year-now east, now west-and is she generous in giving Edelians as prizes! Sudden and decisive Miss Henderson drives, plays tennis, and visits her line brother in New York whenever she can scoot out of Toledo. Folks like Mr. Baker and Miss Feller help to make the Saturday Forum popular. Mr. Orwig combines a grin to cheer the heart of anyone with his hobby of sports. With her Ph.D. in the offing Mrs. Rairdon reads and studies-at Columbia, Ann Arbor, and the Williams- town Institute of Political Science, where she knew William Rappard, former international law teacher at Harvard and a member of the Permanent Mandates Commission of Geneva. Which would you rather do, spend the summer at Harvard or watch a brand new baby get bigger and sweeter? So would Mr. Cony, so he'll stay at home with his new little Patience and plan to take Kent Kaighin- I'd rather lead a band. Roscoe C. Baker: History, Head of Department, B.S., M.A. Roland F.
