TEACHING STAFF Gentle. kind and thoughtful, Brother Graybill's inliuence here at school has touched the lives of all of us. His days are Well filled with the duties,o.f. bishop of the Weave1'la1id district, principal of L.M.S'.', teacher of Bible, editor of the Pastoral Nlcsseng-e1','fatlier, and truck farmer. As principal and bishop, he has the welfare of the school much on his heart. Many morn- ings his chapel talks have been a source of real spiritual inspiration to us. Brother Good in the science room, in the chapel, in the office, on hikes, in conjoint prayer circle, in committee meetings, in his home, or swinging the axe as recreation after supper--these are familiar pictures of our dean. He carries with him a sense of purpose, decision, and friendliness. He dis- tinguished himself this February by earning his M. S. in Education at the University of Pennsylvania. His place is a very large and important one. Although much is required of him at L.M.S., he also lills his place as minister at Reading and is a member of the Commission for Christian Education. As the stately tree fills its place, calm and dependable, so Brother Stoner fills an important place among us. Bookkeeping, typing. shorthand, music are all his field, besides the cares of being secretary-treasurer for L.M.S. If something goes wrong about the buildings, a window is broken or a pump won't Work, Brother Stoner listens with a never failing cheer- fulness and patience. His mixed chorus periods are very popular. Z

She keeps scores of famous lines in her memoryg and, what is more, she is a poetess herself, our poet laureate of L.M.S. 5 for whenever we need a a poem for a social, her clever pen is ready. The M 'ill Stream. is her special charge. She gives to it a great deal of its success. To her Latin classes she brings not only a love for Latin, but also a wide range of interests: nature, literature, and art. VV ho needs help in math? Ask Brother VVenger. VV ho needs a basket- ball referee? Ask Brother 'Wenger Who will take charge of the social? Who'll help us get tennis courts? Who had prayer circle last night and had charge of the boys' dorm? Brother Wenger did. Brother Wenger is a pal to the boys, and god-father to the freshmen. What is to be done he does with a native ease of manner. Other interests take a share of his abilities. A man of many affairs, Brother Hess has given to us of his wealth of knowledge of the Scriptures, has planted and watered. First things come First with him. Hle is a tennis player, hall manager, an executive in all that he does, editor of the Missionary Messenger, and a member of the Mission Board and Executive Committee. Brother Hess has answered the call to service for two years among us g a louder call has come to him from Africa. Nobility of character and high purposes belong to Sister Hess. Read- ing is her chief pastime. If you need to know anything in the line of social studies, she can tell youQ Beautiful models and projects have been made by students in her history classes. History doesn't take all her time. We need her to plan for our Friday afternoon programs and to supervise the Home- making Club, and to teach penmanship and spelling. Alert and animated, Sister Garber inspires in her students her own enthusiasm for the literature she teaches. Many students have been led to appreciate our birds and wild flowers in the Nature Study Club which she sponsors. Guided by her, star study groups meet on the front campus on clear moonless nights. Sister Garber is always a welcome member of any social group. VV e can feel that she is concerned that each one of us shall realize in our lives God's highest purpose. Our Lady of the Halls is a very indispensable person about L.M.S. She keeps the girls moving in the right direction. She is the presiding spirit of the dining hall. A wide background of experience and a. real interest in the girls enriches her ministry here. A person of many gifts, she knits and crochets, paints, sings, teaches, plays tennis, plans our delicious meals, and writes. Watch for her name in our church papers. 3
