MR. WlEDEN's tonic personality does much to keep men's athletics running smoothly. He arranges games, directs all athletic schedules. superintends publicity, and provides peppermints. His classes give an excellent background in Social Studies, and practical work in Tests and Measures. Freshmen tirst meet him as administrator of their I. Q. test. lfew realize that we have in Mr. Wieden an expert at badminton and volleyball. but as for golf-well. he's steadily improving. His greatest wish each year is to defeat Farmington both here and there. MR. PACKARD, jack of all trades. is contra-tradi- tionally master of Printing and Metal Work. When anything is needed in Corthell Hall, all roads lead to Paekard's printshop. His boys listened to the World Series while they worked last fall. Under his coach- ing. this year's cross-country team was one of the best in the schoolis history. As adviser of the Y. M. C. A., he often opens his home for meetings. As campus cop, he registers all cars and regulates parking facilities. He possesses a keen sense of humor and conducts a neat Y. M. candy counter in the printshop. MISS W'O0D's return from work at Radcliffe was a very welcome one. We had missed her enlighten' ing historical anecdotes. often introduced by a hushed, Now, did you know , . . ? She says she is more or less of a farmer. as her summers with her parents at Bluehill and her hardy classroom plants attest. Her gift of organizing ability. and her happy faculty for disagreeing pleasantly, suggesting tactf fully. and advising wisely have made her sought after by individuals and by organizations for friendly counsel. Witness as an example her whole- hearted support of the Commuters' Club. MISS LITTLEFIELD, our busy Little Chief, keeps house with Miss Andrews and has a passion for neat bureau drawers. Her superior administra- tive ability is shown by her work behind the scenes of the Superintendents' Day tea, at the Junior High cafeteria, as general costumer, and as teacher of Household Arts to both Normal and junior high pupils. Sports-minded. she excels in tennis, often takes Miss Andrews on in croquet, and appears with her at all games. MISS UPTON delves into the awe-inspiring man's realm of mathematics. and emerges with honors. She is a graduate of Gorham Normal and formerly taught in the Junior High School. This year she was a delegate to the New York Conference. and being also a Columbia 'l'eacher's College grad, she should have met some old friends. She presents in- teresting classes. has a Hne sense of humor, and gives forth with carefully prepared courses in Junior High Math. Algebra, and History of Math. She is always eager to help, and her time is at your disposal. MISS LEWIS, whose classes have the fascination of the unpredictable, specializes in English and Literature. Her mastery of and enthusiasm for her work, combined with her excellent background of English History, make her courses appealing and thorough. She exercises a general omniscience over the GREEN AND Vv7HI'l'lT Board and Poetry Club. members of whom learn to work and play under her guidance. During her infrequent spare moments. she knits mittens for underprivileged children. and tries to keep cltlb members and faithful Victoria out of trouble.

FACULTY Ni21.I.11e WOODBURYJORDAN. B. S. MIRIAM EUNICE ANDREWS, B. S. MISS JORDAN ills her position as Dean of Women with charm and dignity. Her busy dor- mitory life is lightened by her enjoyment of the piano, her superior photography, her radio, and her reading of historical novels and biographies. Her love for England has found expression in two European trips and as teacher of the new linglish History course. A superior penman, she strives to make freshmen handwriting legible. Her summers are often spent at Moosehead Lake, where she has become a proficient angler. MISS ANDREWS, known to intimates as 'Big Chief, teaches Music and Aesthetics. She sacriiced most of last summer for the production, editing, and backing of a new edition of the G. N. S. Song Book-a most praiseworthy accomplishment. She directed the Glee Clubs' fine Pepita. and devotes much time to the orchestra and recently organized band. She plays contract and golf, and as a basket- ball fan led a group up to Farmington to show them what school spirit really is. CLIVITORD O. T.

FACULTY DOROTHY FLINT, B. A.. M. S. Cl IESTER HERBERT SLOAT, A. B., A. M. MISS FLlNT's vitality, sportsmanship, dependable judgment, and new car have combined to make her much in demand as a companion to the Boston Conference and to basketball games. She is in charge of Physical and Health Education, and has organ- ized women's athletics in such a way that all are encouraged to take some part. Her willingness to help has materialized into dancing classes in Center and a conscientious chairmanship of the Recreation Room Committee. lf you haven't seen her do an interpretative dance, or read some of her merry jingles, you don't know Miss Flint. MR. SLOAT, teacher of Journalism and English. has a mosaic of difficult duties: helping get the school Oracle to press. pleading with actors and actresses to learn their parts in the Dramatic Club and the senior class plays, tactfully advising the Kappa Delta Phi fraternity, teaching the rudiments of Latin to a group of lively ninth graders, encour- aging state-wide school publicity through his news- paper course. and training future teachers to talk. He appreciates good music and literature and we defy you to outspell him. His clean-cut manner of speech is an arresting characteristic. LOUIS BN-STAD JENSEN' GWEN DAH1., HAYDEN L. V. ANDERSON, B.
