Sayings of the Faculty “I’ll do anything for the children, but you’ll have to ask Sister Riley about that,” says our dignified president Mr. M. P. L. Berry. Then our faces grow longer and broader as Mrs. Riley says “Girls don’t ask for a Stute walk tonight as there has been so much on today” and “When did you ask to go last?” Miss Timberlake takes the joy out of Monday night pictures by assigning lessons with the remark “Be specific” and “Get what the author means by thus and so — He was one of my in- structors at Columbia University.” Miss Collins is always “reminded of a joke I heard” or “Ruby said this that and so.” And “when I was a girl” carries us back to the days when Miss Vamado was the shy maid of sixteen. And now the vision broadens as Mrs. Quisenberry remarks “When I was there in Jerusalem I saw so many of those.” And then travelling on through brings us down to Clinton and the Stute and then chapel and behold! Miss McCool saying “We will have the regular hike this afternoon, Girls working for credit must be there.” Miss Emma always reminds us of our age and conduct by saying “Just go and eat all that stuff and come down here to be waited on. How many classes did you have today?” “Auntie” takes time on her many miles she walks a day to remind us that we “mustn’t put our paper there, cause she has planted flowers there.” Mrs. Berry reminds the girls by “The books that we ordered are here and you may get them as soon as possible.” Mrs. Potter, “If you college girls can’t act like college girls I’m going to treat you like high school girls.” Miss Palme ter “Now dearie, you should eat spinach.” Mr. Slater “My word, my word, let’s get down to brass tacks and learn this thing.” Mrs. Snyder “Well good, that’s grand.” Dr. Watkins “Down to our lesson now girls, you may read Senorita” as he looks over those glasses at the girl he has in mind but cannot call her name.
