YE PEDAGOGUE 1933 1 G i ' MISS GLENN MISS NEWITT Always smiling, always patient, always willing and eager to help. lt's no wonder that we all love Miss Glenn and try to do our best for her. Many rooms, both at our college and the grade school. centers, exhibit at- tractive displays which represent her labors. Her interest and her desire to make the works of her girls perfect, accounts for her success in the art field. Few teachers know their methods as well as Miss Glenn does and few are able to transmit that knowledge to the girls. Even those who are not artists are able to make attractive designs after a few touches from her master hand. So to you, Miss Glenn, we wish continued success in your work. We, who vision ourselves as teaching in the near Cor distantj future, gaze with awe upon Miss Newitt and wonder how she manages her big task- teaching successfully in two schools. ln addition to her work at the college, she has classes in art at Northeast Senior High School. Under her capable in- struction the T. C. freshmen learn to make crayon drawings, draw birds, make pen and ink designs, cover and wax boxes, besides many other units of work. lt would seem that instructing in two schools would be enough to keep o.ne teacher busy, but it isn't. ln her spare time, Miss Newitt does art work of such quality that it is exhibited at the art institute.

1933 YE PEDAGOGUE jg. Na if u 'LU ' I 1 , x,-,,fn'w Z! I ,, Y ., .J,. -Let., . 1 MR. SHIRLING DR. PRICE MR' PLOESSER Q When the staff decided to use theimtgfireinotif in the make-up of the 1933 Ye Pedagogue, it appeared logical to dedicate such a volume to Mr. Shirling. Before he came to Teachers College, he was an instructor at Manual High School. He hs taught in many institutions in various sections of the United States. In addition to his regular classes at Teachers College, he conducts a summer session in Estes Park. This year, his summer class will tour the Great Lake Region, visit Abraham Lincoln's birthplace, and spend a pweek at the World's Fair in Chicago. With all of these pedagogical duties he still finds time to enjoy his family, write poetry, and work in his garden, Throughout the Middle West, he is known as the Bird Man of Kansas City. Welcome back, Dr. Price! Two years ago, Mr. Price left Teachers College to study for an additional degree. Last September he returned to us as Dr. Price. He found many duties awaiting him-the making of lengthy public addresses, the writing of numer- ous magazine articles, the coaching of a winning debate tea.m, besides the teach- ing of history and other social sciences. Into all these tasks and responsibilities, he plunged with an enthusiasm that commanded success, for evidence of which, witness our champion debate teams. It seems that each member of the faculty has his own niche that no one else can fill. We are glad that Dr. Price has decided to return to take his old place in the life of the school. Mr. Ploesser, of the science department, father of Betty Ann. Hobby: Betty Ann, main interest: Betty Ann, favorite topic of conversation: Betty Ann. Inspiration: Betty Ann. In fact, to him all life c-enters about Betty Ann. Mr. Ploesser is successful at other things besides talking of Betty Ann, however. He teaches biology, hygiene and physical science and has proved himself a great favorite with the freshman class. Almost every week one can flnd quotations from Mr. Ploesser written in the Scout Weekly. l16 B1 X sl if ij si

1933 YE I f PEDAGOGUE i-ff Miss PICKERELL .T 31,11 Lv? I ' M ' ' 'N if One can say of Miss Pierson that books are to her what kittens are to Miss Clouser, what music is to Miss McCollum-no doubt our dependable and help- ful librarian would smile at the antics of a furry ball of fur and thrill to the strains of a great sonata, but her greatest pleasure comes from handling, classify- ing, checking and reading her beloved books. Although Miss Pierson seldom speaks of herself, it has been discovered that she too follows down the poet's road and is capable of creating beautiful verse. Miss Pierson is helpful, willing and co-operative. She is never too busy to help any student. Her course in library methods has proved very beneficial and helpful to the T. C. students. Miss Pierson has won the friendship, loyalty and allegiance of all the members of the student body. She lent some very valuable aid in the compiling of the annual. One feels like saying, but of course one doesn't, Three cheers for Miss Pierson. One year she was a student, studying, working and playing like the rest of us, and the next year she was elevated to a position of dignity-that of assist- ant librarian. Those who spend much of their time in the library know how ably Miss Pickerell fills that position. They also know how much she would be missed if she were not there: even if at times her presence is made known by a gentle ssh-sh or a pleasant reminder that the library is a place to study, not to visit. However, she not only assists in the work of the library, but also in the office work: she types, files, takes dictation, and in general aids in the routine oflice duties. Anyone who can hold two position, as she does, is to be admired. Truly, Miss Pickerell is a versatile and admirable young lady. E181
