and to map our lifves intelligentlyg There's no number above the door, but every student knows the interior of the room and its friendly, dynamic oc- cupant, Miss Helen A. Shuman.

S. and Dean of Girls are merely safety valves for her re- markable working capacity, plentiful sense of humor and competent execu- tive ability.

As co-chairman of the assembly committee this year, Miss Gernon deserves much credit for the outstanding special programs. The American literature and public speaking classes of Miss Tull give a fine background for good citizenship. On the athletic field and in his classroom, Mr. Dykstra distributes a wealth of information. Lt. Smith left his classes in the spring to spend a month at Fort Riley, Kansas. By Miss lnkster's direction of thought, a new light has been thrown upon the subject of English. Movies and written outlines are used by Miss Webb to clarify lessons in biology. Miss Beardslee has for a basis of her love for culture, the subject she teaches, Latin. Miss Moffett's cool voice seems a part of Room 212 as she reads a translation for a student who is completely stumped. Mr. Azbell has brought new methods to science classes since his addition to the faculty last September. Under the skillful teaching of Miss Ieffers, students learn that roads of the future are built upon experiences of the past.
