When asked what her hobbies were she immediately replied, Attending com- mittee meetings in the winter and farming in the summer, and in the same breath remarked that she had sold her timothy seed. She also implies that she greatly enjoys her position as adviser of the Kappa Phi Alpha. Miss McKay says little about herself but why should she? Her personality speaks for itself. There is a wee bit of Scotch in this energetic teacher but one would never know it by the generous way in which she gives advice and help. She is quite active in church work, is interested in music, and has a home that is filled with many lovely antiques. Another name to be added to those who have served T. C. for the past decade is that of our eminent psychologist and recently elected vice-president, Mr. Gilbert. His interests lie in a wide field. He is active in the Men's Club, in high school parent- education work, and in Teachers College he has sung in operettas presented by the music department. Dr. Price took his place as head of the social science department just one decade ago. In 1931, five years after his arrival, he left for a year's study at Duke University, returning the following year with a Ph.D. from that university. Since then he has added to the curriculum courses in sociology, history, and economics. His pet peeve, and one to which he often refers, is the ping-pong table in the room next to which he does most of his Upropoundingf' V' l 5 ARTHUR GILBERT l Vice-Prefidefzi Pfychology A .W DR.

V4-...Q -71 Af. f STELLA PIERSON Libfzzrjazfz GENEVIEVE JONES Swimming Adviser to the first student council, adviser to the first weekly paper, and adviser to the first Ye Pedagogue are only a few of the positions which have been held by Miss Pierson during her years at Teachers College. Her earliest ambition was to be a high school librarian. Toward this end she taught literature and history in high school be- fore taking professional library training. While in Library School at the University of Illinois, she accepted a position in the library of the Nebraska State Teachers College at Kearney-from which place she came to T. C. Taking possession of an almost empty room, Miss Pierson has worked to build up a college library of high quality. Miss jones says she knows the girls of T. C. better than any other teacher. She has every reason to, for who doesn't act natural in a swimming pool! Her art of swimming and diving is certainly enviable but these are not her only skills. Not only does she play the piano, but she is also greatly interested in psychology and has studied that subject extensively. Today, twelve years after Miss Cannon's arrival at T. C., the origins of her happy personality and her use of sarcastic pleasantries has been discovered in her own explana- tion of just the nature of the brute. Having been brought up with seven other children in a Methodist household, where bickering was never allowed, she received a stable foundation for adjustment to the groups she now must control at Teachers College. Of the entire faculty, Miss Clouser is the only one that may be righteously accused of having pets -not only a few, but dozens of them. These pets are not of the class- room type, however-but rather a heterogeneous grouping of what she terms her feline friends. We mention only a few as examples: China cats from Vienna, Paris or Scandinavia, and even some from as far south as Italy. ELIZABETH CANNON Music LUCY CLOUSER Edzzmfiofz l12l r 71. Q., V .,, , V PM .

JULIA WARD Edzzmliofz JOHN PLoEssER P19 yfical Science Miss Ward's seems to be a roving career. Her college study has been done in six colleges and universities. She has taught seven years in a rural school at Skidmore, two years in the elementary school of Pueblo, Colorado, was principal of the High School at Milford, Iowa, and a teacher at Missouri Wesleyan and Des Moines University. She has been at T. C. for ten years but has maintained her wanderlust in her hobby, which is driving her car. Mr. Ploesser came to us in 1928, but it wasn't until 1933 that life became worth living for this member of the science department. An interview of that year with Mr. Ploesser resulted as follows: hobby, Betty Ann, main interest, Betty Ann, favorite topic of conversation, Betty Ann, and inspiration, Betty,Ann. Since an interview with him this year would give us no additional information we have merely reprinted this to save time! To T. C. students, the name of Miss Abney is a synonym for poise. She is a very versatile person being a poetess, a lecturer, and a judge of forensics. Students seek her advice not only in speech work but also in creative writing. Who hasn't heard someone say, We have to write a skit. Let's see Miss Abneyf' just four years ago, the faculty welcomed a new member, Miss Kirk, to their ranks. The Quill and Scroll Club, to which she became adviser that year, presented her with a soft, fuzzy little puptwith no particular marking to denote its breed or kind. just as readily as she opened her heart to little Deepstuff, she extended her friendship to everyone in the school.
