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.

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.

Insurance, furniture, and agriculture interest respectively, Mr. Hotchkiss, Mr. Vossler, and Mr. Weinstock. What of the freshman dean? Well, he's a good scout and a better friend than any. Miss Bessey is new but she's a live wire. Hav- ing studied in China and japan and having taught in Hawaii, she knows how to keep a class stepping. Incidentally too, she has served as health counsellor in a Detroit school and has done much work with the Social Hygiene Council of our city. We take it for granted that the industrial de- partment is full of handy men, but if you want two regular fix-it specialists call Mr. Plough and Mr. Dipman.
