lin-Pilots MISS ANNA ALTMAN-Normal training, freshman English, sponsor of: Pedagogical club, D. of D., freshmen, news program. Last summer Miss Altman visited the Amana colony and called on friends in Cedar Rapids. With this ex- ception, she spent vacation from school work in fighting the Weeds in a garden, winning out, and accordingly giving her- self another job-canning. Sewing, mending, and Red Cross duties also demanded time. Miss Altman kept fit mentally and physically by reading books and magazines and taking walks. MR. O. CLIFFORD ANDERSON-I n s t r u mental music, business training. When summer came the older band members went to work, but thc sprouts kept Mr. Anderson in tune. When not busy with music classes, he donned his overalls and work shirt, and went carpentering, remodeling first his own house, and later joining up with a construction duo. Two gardens challenged his ability with the hoe, and 200 chickens cackled, If you feed us, we'll feed you. In March Mr. Anderson resigned and joined the ranks of the farmers. MRS. ARDIS BOYD-Vocal music fgrades and high schooll. Last summer Mrs. Boyd served the public in the capa- city of a telephone operator and helped with Red Cross dress- ings. During the first semester and into the second, she had a full schedule of vocal music. At the end of February, Mr. O. Clifford Anderson, the director of instrumental music, re- signed to join the ranks of the agriculturists. Then Mrs. Boyd, relieved of some of her grade schedule, took over the band and small instrumental groups, and carried on till school closed. MISS LUCILE BRYAN-English, grammar, Spanish, Latin, dramatics, co-sponsor of Wildcat Wailf' sponsor of The Register, and the Lost and Found department. If a person can't travel, why should she not enjoy the landscape at home? That is just what Miss Bryan thought, and with her tools she set about last summer to do some carpentering and digging to produce a landscaped garden. Then a brisk swim did things for the tired muscles. Next came some good reading, and a substantial part of that was in Spanish-just for fun. llll Miss Altman finds tomatoes on queer vines Musicman Andei-son's saw puts on the lone Mrs. Boyd's overseas mail has good news. Miss Bryan takes off with radio artists.
