5- :- an A SMILING EAGERNESS to help others is one ol' the virtues which mane Mrs. Muir an invaluable friend to all who know her. Included in her responsibilities is that ever-important one of seeing that we learn and practice correct grammar. She has induced us to be more appre- ciative of the finer types of literature by offering courses in American and English literature. To those of us who want to improve our writing ability, she teaches journalism and creative writ- ing. These classes prepare us to rank high in literary contests and to publish interesting Pemmicans and creditable Wyomalos. She sponsors the Quill and Scroll and the National Honor Society, honor- ary societies for outstanding students in journalistic abilities and in character, scholarship, leadership and service. Mrs. Muir fills the position ot' assis- tant foreman, and when the foreman is away, she assumes all the responsibili- ties and duties ot' the foreman. 'HS MUIR 'She .received her E. A. at Penn College and later took graduate work at illf University ot' Chicago. Regardless of how grown-up we feel. or how independent wc consider oui selves, it is always hard to get along without thc guidance ot' our mothers, no mattei what our position may be. The realization ot' this need is lessened for those ot' Us on the ol' home ranch by Mrs. Muir's presence. Nowhere could there be found 4 better substitute than this amiable member ot' our ranch hands. img l . tt , .afmgfw . .3 Eel' :zl . H . a-J

EVERYBODYS RIGHT HAND is a suitable title for our office girl. She is one of the busiest members of our out- fitg she can always be found busily at work in the foreman's office. Her du- ties included acting as official stenog- rapher for Mr. Strother, attending to the printing of all the printed material , used on the ranch, and keeping an ac- curate record of everything we do. Some time ago the government es- tablished a fund to aid students in their schooling. This cowhand supervised the work of the N. Y. A. girls and as- signed to each of them numerous tasks around the ranch, such as mimeograph- ing tests and making out reports. She was always willing to help us find any information which we might be seeking or to answer the numerous questions we had. lVhen we wanted the correct information about any of the activities and records of the ranch we went to her for it. She was more than an office girl to most of us: she was a sympathetic friend, never too M1357-NEI-I-EH busy to listen to our troubles and offer her advice and suggestions. She graduated from Johnson County High School and later attended Barnes Commercial School in Denver, Colorado. She spends many evenings doing needle work, which is one of her favorite pas- times. She also enjoys reading and helping her brother find additions to his stamp collection. During the summer she likes to work in her garden and go fishing. lVe point with pride to Miss Louise Mueller, our office girl. What the ranch would do without her is hard to imagine. -ag. I

NO RANCH SETTING is complete without a good storyteller-someone to relate the legends, customs, and accom- plishments of the old timers. In the evenings, we ranch hands gathered around the campfire to sing, tell jokes, and reminisce. The gang was always careful to talk plainly and make good usage of grammar when Mr. Den- ison was around. because he was sure to give us a good talking to if we said aint or them cows. At thc first of the week when the postman brought the mail, and we cow- boys read about some governmental de- ss partmcnt doing something or other, we A went to Mr. Denison to have him ex- plain wh-it that department is for and what it does. Gt 9 Y? KC . Y? K X I V 9 X s X X C XVhen a question for argument arose, and our outfit wanted to have its opinion known, he always took charge of instructing the cowhands who were Mn. nmmsos to do the talking so that they would make an impressive speech. He also attended the meetings of the ranch council and gave his advice to the members when they were making plans for the ranch's future or coming to a de- cision about some problem. Mr. Denison received an A. B. from the University of Nebraska, obtained his M. A. degree at the Colorado State College of Education, and also attended the Babson Institute in Boston and the University of Colorado. M .1 .
