May the better man win! PHYSICAL EDUCATIO Of course, you'd expect the gym teachers to be pretty peppy in their hobbies, and they are, but both Miss Maher and Miss Bowman are willing to spend time reading, Especially when itis hot , says Miss Bowman. Miss Maher has spent her past few summers working on her master's degree. In addition to being nursemaid to her niece, Miss Bowman goes golfing, swimming, and horse-back riding. Mr. Jeffery in his off days supervises playgrounds, and aids in the civic recreation program. Again in Mr. Ardner we have a former student returned to his old school. You donit remember, but he used to be a pretty fast run- ner on the basketball floor, a popular fellow, and a good student. It's nice he is back and if his first year is any sample of what his future in sports will be, Libbey is sure of a teacher with enthusiasm and vim. Walter Ardner: Physical Education, B.S. in Ed.

Mary M. Kelso: Home Nursing, A.B., B.S. in Ed., R.N. Ruth Lloyd: Home Economics, B.S., M.S. Isla B. Owen: Home Economics, A.B. Helen E. Wylie: Home Economics, B.S. HO E ECG MICS While traveling in New England, Miss Wylie became intensely interested in colonial and the New England type of interior decorating. There she saw furniture just as it was in former days. She says that today, the maple furniture which has become very popular, is a copy of the colonial period, and many modern homes are being fur- nished with it. Among the homes she visited in the East were the House of Seven Gables, home of Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the home of Louisa Alcott. With Miss Owen and Miss Lloyd, Miss Wylie has written notebooks for the freshmen classes. She belongs to the American Association for Women, and to the Scholarship Committee here at Libbey. During the war, Miss Kelso, our nurse, attended a nurses' training camp, open only tofcollege graduates, at Vassar, worked in a farm unit dur- ing the World War, and now enjoys keeping house in her apartment, playing golf, studying, and inspiring and comforting pupils at Libbey. Thelma Liebke fills Old Faithful . Bob Hochmuth-the boy who beat Waite now beats an egg.

L LIBRARY Miss Holtz. Mrs. Kruse: Librarian, B.A.,M.A. Mrs. Sullivan. Miss Vye. a I1 OFFICE Have you ever noticed the piles of things that have to be done in the office? Money, phones, lost and found, mail, questions, bulletins, grade-cards, truant complaints, bad boys, more and more questions-well, you finish it, we are tired. But what do you think of the three persons who make up our office department? Well, if they do get tired, they don't complain, but are pleasant and helpful always. Perhaps Mrs. Sullivan forgets her duties as the treasurer of the school as she motors back and forth to her fine cottage spring and fall. Miss Vye likes to study costumes and play bridge and make interesting salads, in addition to being an efficient manager of the book room. The newest of the group, Miss Holst, has hair that is the envy of the school, and one of her duties is getting out the daily bulletin. The grandest spot in the school is the library, presided over by Mrs. Kruse, who hates worms and loves cocker spaniels. Her great joy comes each spring with the arrival of the new books that are a constant reminder of the generosity of our revered patron, Mr. Edward Drummond Libbey. 26
