Miss Agnes Tysse, A.B. This year an assistant librarian was added to the staff in the person of Miss Agnes Tysse, who is a graduate of Hope College. Miss Tysse is characterized by her friend- liness, and readiness to help in all situa- tions. As a guide at reading either in re- cent literature or along classical lines, she is most valuable. Miss Magdaline De Free Ask Miss De Free. Questions no one- else can answer are referred to her. Keen, understanding, sympathetic, but firm, Miss De Free is a person on the campus, and has been ever since her advent about fif- teen years ago. She reads widely and in- telligently, and expresses herself with a succinctness Calvin Coolidge might envy. Although not trained m a library school. Miss De Free has done a remark- able piece of work in cataloguing, and arranging a library of some twenty-eight thousand volumes. Miss La Vada G. Fulmer. A.M. A vivid sense of humor and a depth of understanding has endeared her to us. Miss Fulmer obtained her A.B. at Findley college, and is also a graduate in violin from the Western Pennsylvania Classical and Scientific Conservatory. She received her A.M. at Grove City College in Eng- lish and History. She then took special work at the University of Fittsburgh and taught English for a period of two years in the public schools of Pennsylvania. After two years of teaching at Findley College she became one of us. Mrs. Edith Walvoord Mrs. Walvoord ' s pleasant countenance is best known to Voorhees girls and the young men who take their repast in the Hall, for she holds the position of matron and is responsible for the dining room. It is to her that girls turn in case of ill- ness and stress and her ready understand- ing has eased many a situation. « 29 »
