X., X .gt if WC gulf' f Lawrence C. Thomas teaches biology and kindred subjects to those of an inquisitive turn of mind. With such things as skeletons and sharks to look forward to Cto say nothing of the dull classesl it's no wonder Dr. Thomas can't get to class on time. Who wouldn't prefer to stay at home and entertain his daughter rather than go to class to cut up frogs? Walter S. Long, professor of chemistry, has a long list of letters after his name. ln addition to being able to drag down so many degrees, Dr. Long, though most deem him to be the quietest of faculty members, is very witty and is constantly making puns. Now that you know it, perhaps next year you'll be able to keep up with him. CNotice that word perhapsj bmi Fitzpatrick McCarty is instructor in English composition. CRhetoric to you, frosh.D Behold her who encourages the green freshmen to write long harrangues about the wind or sunflowers or rain and then to their misery announces that the next theme will be oral. l-low- ever, with all her attempts to be hard or rigid, Mrs. McCarty is a general favorite. Rev, l.. F. Arend, pastor of University Church is a graduate of Wesleyan and the father of a son and daughter who are present students. Rev. Arend is especially close to the college Che lives just across the streetj. Seriously, though, he is as good a friend as any Wesleyan student has, Dr. Thomas Dr. Long Rev. Arend Dr. Cornett Miss Birch Prof. Clair and the college is fortunate in having him as leader of the church at the gates of the campus. John S. Cornett, professor of history and government, is a very conscientious advocate of library research, just look up the list of his degrees and imagine how much he's done. l-le's an authority on what king followed who and speaking of authorities, it has been rumored that he is a connoisseur of peanuts. Margaret Birch, instructor in art, is just finishing her first year on the campus. During that time she has built up a fine department. We have also noticed a marked tendency on her part toward becoming musical CNeed the violin be mentioned'?D Ruth Law Mackie has charge of physical education for women. Fore! Look at that swing! lt can't be said of Mrs. Mackie that she asks others to do what she herself cannot. Between gym classes, she perfects her golf strokes, swims, does exercises, and manages coach. Arnold Clair, professor of violin, though he is a new- comer on the campus has already made a name for himself as a musician. lt was he who piloted the band through a more or less successful season even though it was a stormy one. Prof. Clair's car is seen parked in front of the dorm sometimes. COh, yes he eats there.D lPagc 241 Mrs. McCarty Mrs. Mackie

Edna Lamb Weis is instructor in French. ln addition to her linguistic ability, Mrs. Weis is adept at making clever cookies and other lovely dainties. No doubt she too puts into practice the adage the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. N'est pas? F. C. Peters, professor of German is another of those people who like diversion. When the declensions and conjugations become monotonous he distributes the song books and the class sings Stille Nacht, O Tannen- baum and the like. Sometimes, he enjoys a romantic session when he assigns l-loher als die Kirchef' l-le is one professor who is informal, natural, and yet forceful in his classroom. Kansas Wesleyan is his hobby and he spends much of his time in promotion work. Walter S. Adams, professor of economics, speaks in terms of food consumed per capita, the price of wheat in Liverpool, and gold as a medium of exchange. Prof. Adams is very thorough and requires minute detail. Ofou might know he would be since he is a debate coachD. l-lis class- room manner is very calm as is proved by the story of the freshman who went to sleep one morning and woke up in the midst of a senior economics class. Alexander Brown Mackie is the man who puts those fighting Coyote teams on the athletic fields. Despite the fact that Coach had to work pretty hard to pull his football squad through Psychology 'l, they were conference -cv . , gf is champions. l-lowever, his basketballers coul , y wwf difficulty, surpass the girls' team coached b er half. Pearl Adair Jessen is instructor in public s usic and art. She is accomplished at singing do fact, so accomplished that she succeeded in teaching s e of it to a class at the unsightly hour of 6:45 A. M. lt is M . Jessen also who makes the fuzzy little dogs and tin- stemmed flowers. Georgia Gildersleeve, librarian, watches the books and also keeps an eye on the would-be-students who can't find any other reason to see the girl friend so they park behind the books whose unsuspecting authors would be shocked to know that half of the same were read up side down. Mary Dillenback teaches the gentle art of home econ- nomics. Miss Dillenback is an authority on vitamins and it is to her that all the cute young things go to learn how to boil water and to darn socks. She also undertakes to teach a few of the rudiments of cooking to Wesleyan's male advocates of a well rounded education. Luther Broiles is assistant caretaker of the notes in the auditor's office. Mr. Broiles admits his wife to be the boss and he likes it! The two little Broileses came into college life at an early age as assistants to the cheer leader. l.uther's pet hobby is arguing the opposite on any question, regard- Mrs. Weis Prof. Peters Prof. Adams Coach Mackie Mrs. Jessen Miss Gildersleeve Miss Dillenback Mr. Broiles less of his beliefs. ummm: f Q 5

CWhat purse?D Mr. Woerten- dyke is busy all the time, During enrollment he takes in the notes and the rest of the semester he writes those little notices and places them on his bulletin board. ln one year he has gone a long ways towards putting the auditor's office on a good business basis. Bula Gardner is professor of Latin. When in Rome, do as Romans do, was a policy which Miss Gardner followed and now her classes are enriched by her references to personal adventures in the land of Romulus and Remus. Sometimes we imagine she feels very much like saying Et tu, Brute but her patience is never-ending it seems. Margaret l-lagy helps Miss Gildersleeve watch the date hounds in Wesleyan's public date room. CSome call it the library.j Mrs. l-lagy causes those day-dreamy expres- sions which you see by not letting them talk. She really knows the books and can always help you find your reference. Ben F. Kimpel, professor of philosophy and Bible, realized a new talent this year. l-le was both playwrite and actor in the howling success, 'Soup Gets in Your Eye. Dr. Kimpel 's courses are popular and draw a good attend- ance in spite of the danger of getting an F. Thelma Book is the young lady who has charge of the dean's office. Miss Book is the one who has to be bribed if you would change your chapel seat so that the new girl friend will be next to you. She answers very well as an information bureau in case you need such. Carl F. Jessen represents Kansas Wesleyan very creditably on the radio, in civic music events, in the church, in concert, or what have you? l-lis is the difficult task of playing the accompaniment so well that students will be inspired to sing in chapel. l-lis hobbies are doing metal cuttings and helping Mrs. Jessen present pianoperettas, Edward Ploenges is one professor with whom all stu- dents are acquainted, One reason for this is the fact that when he leaves his classroom door open you can hear him lecture all over the building. Other reasons are his genuine interest in student affairs and his numerous chapel appearances. Professor Ploenges teaches mathematics with a vim. lt was as if Wesleyan had lost a land-mark when Prof. traded off the Pontiac with the green stripe, Lena Smith, secretary to the president, gained many friends in her short stay on our campus. There was a rumor that she took a special interest in things philosophical. We wonderf? She returned to her former position as secretary to the president of Oklahoma City U. about the middle of the year and Mrs. Ruth Plott took her position here. l Mrs. l-lagy Dr. Kimpel Prof. Jessen Miss Smith
