Would geometry mean more if you knew that Miss Voorheis, project i'Geometrical Design Notebooks was on display in the University of Michigan High School library the summer of 1935 and that her fine work in education merited for her membership in Pi Lambda Theta? We always get a gay send-off from our little Miss McGuire who has been to Europe as many times as some of us have years. She's broadminded, but she loves Ireland best, with its fairyland in the south and its rugged beauty in the north. The cheapest wings I ever bought, said she, were sent me by Austria dur- ing the War after I had sent money there. In the ab- sence of Mrs. Watson, whose illness made necessary for her a leave of absence, Mrs. Houser, a former Libbeyite, conducts typing classes at school and enjoys her home and youngster, as well as university work. Who knows, for instance, that Mr. Martin is an artist and can do things with photographs, while Mr. Sta- pleton is a movie camera devotee? A linguist, a master of finance, and a mighty versatile 20 Agile fingers plus a nimble brain equal a good typist.

You may need money some day-only if you teach, that is! The great secret of Libbey is Mr. Harvey, who silent- ly enters and leaves our classrooms, communi- cating music to a pupil in some occult manner. If you ever wondered about Mr. Hunt's argu- mentative powers, know now that he was ad- mitted to the bar in 1909. Law and Math made him a dean who dotes on law and order-or should we say ordering. He and Miss Voorheis .share honors in writing, as he has published a book, Commercial Lawn, while the dean of freshman girls gained honor with her Pupil Inventory Booklet when it was placed in the library of the American Eugenics Society in Serious work, being an artist. Isn't it, Jerry? Miss Waite's bulletin boards are interesting. New York City by Dr. Albert E. Wiggam. Mr. Spackey recalls his days as a doughboy in France when he knew the foster-son of Madame Schumann-Heink and spent four- teen dollars for one dinner! Flowers are the interest of Mr. Houser when he is not acting as coach. But he assures us that the training of such men as Glenn Warner, Fielding Yost, Bob Zuppke and Gil Dobie have helped to make him what he is today in athletics. Mr. Lynn and Mr. Harding are pre- cise in math and in athletics, the latter making great plans for his

If you would read your fortune in the stars, consult him and he'll tell by your forehead whether you are Leo, Taurus, or what you wish. Our new Mr. Osgood was born in Manila and has been to China and japan. Now isn't that something to remember when we're getting a program ready? And he was also superintendent of schools in Fort Jennings, Ohio. What you don't know probably is that Miss Snow is an ardent gymnast, and you don't know much if you haven,t learned that Mr. Smith's hobby is fishing and that he writes the names of the seniors on their diplomas. Mrs. Flatz is a fine homemaker, we have been told. To Mrs. Watson, whose illness has kept her at home the greater part of the year, we extend our best wishes. If the bug of education had not caught Miss Gates she might have been a doctor, for she studied medicine. How many have counted the pupils she has boosted with sympathy and money-or the flowers she has brought to Libbey or the research problems she has studied? Regretfully we think that ill health took Miss Shafer to Arizona.
