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.

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.

Miss Wi.lson's philosophy nnds expression in 'Living is an art as well as a science. Her hobbies include collections of modern poetry and stamps. Travel, the art gallery, and music contribute much to her happiness. Ah romance! Miss Cook expects to see a Romeo around every corner. Perhaps that is why she enjoys her position as school nurse, there is a lot of visiting to do and there are a lot of corners to turn. She is quite versatile, being fond of outdoor sports, especially golf, as well as being an ardent collector of lace. She has hopes of going to johns Hopkins hospital in the near future for further study. Pretty, petite, and rapidly becoming popular, Miss Lois Churchill arrived in January. She is an ardent enthusiast of both swimming and horseback riding. Besides being quite an artist with the cook book, she has another quality which has recently won for her considerable admiration, manifested in her declaration, I am not the least bit disturbed by a mouse! Welcome back, Miss Latshaw! When Miss Moore left in February of this year to teach at Southwest High, we secretly doubted that anyone could replace her, but the surprise and delight which greeted Miss Latshaw upon her return to Teachers College, immediately erased all doubts from the minds of the students. Mercedes likes horse- back riding, swimming and apples! The latter, no doubt, may serve as appetizing at- traction to the teaching profession.
