THE BRAIN TRUST Along with the rise in enrollment came six additional faculty members to extend fthe curriculum and lceep this new generation out ol' mischief. Among the new were Professor Moore, teacher of religion and logic, and lVlrs. Long. color and design. Then Eureka reached hack in her own files and selected Robert Pugh for history. Coach Borrow joined the ranlcs at the first of the third term in time to turn out a fine haslcethall team, to coach physical educa- tion courses, and re-organize intramural sports. Gur English department intro- duced Nlrs. Cassin to the composition and grammer classes for the fourth term, and welcomed haclc Miss Anne Greene, our post-war grammarian, in Septemher. Professor Nlullcey joined our faculty forces to teach us how our government is sup- posed to function. and Professor Kern taught his pupils to use a test-tuhe in the analysis of chemicals and elements. It would he anything hut proper to mention the new without running a slight preview of our old faithfulsf' Dr. Dickinson is still steering old ship Eurelca into straight channels. Professor T. E. Wiggins continues to entertain his humanities class with diagrams of Hell ala Dante tplenty of food lor thought in that coursel. Professors Higdon and Berry are still in the psychology and sociology depart- ments attempting to put accross enough stimulus to extract a small measure of response from the drowsy early morning classes. Professor Rinlcer toolc his geo- logy class to the Qzarlcs this year. The class learned that Kilroy had already heen there. tThey learned more than that follcs, hut they did have funl. Ol' course there is our beloved Mrs-. Hunt presiding over the Wood. and hecoming more popular with each set ol girls. Miss Lazelle is still in Maggie Hall lceeping the girls on the inside and the hoys on the outside. The Music Department still hoasts of Professors Zeperniclc and Lathrop ,- and Mrs. Tomh is still threatening to malce every Freshman into a singer. Professor Norton turned in his usual line performance in producing an out- standing dehate team, hesides numerous other duties. We saw very little of Pro- fessor Charnoclc this year as he was lcept unusually lousy contacting new and prospective students in his Chicago office. Professor Hagan spent most of his time recruiting new students in other parts of the state. '3
