Adviser of the Annual and adviser for Cotillion are man-sized jobs when they involve about two hundred girls. Then, in the field of chemistry is Mr. Raymond French, who has been teacher, councilor, and playmate. His oyster roasts are famous and an mvitation much-prized. Dr. Jeffers has taught us, as well as the outs and ms of microbes, much about his Newfoundland home, and Dr. Stevens, his associate professor, has struggled with us through dissections wondrous to behold. A smile from her is reward enough for our labors. Mr. Grainger, head of the English department, has instilled in us a part of his sincere love for litera-

We ' ve browsed through English literature with Miss Nichols, and enjoyed the wit and vivacity of her teaching, while Miss Jennings, when we finally got down to work, really made the American Clas- sics live for us. As freshmen, we labored painfully with Miss Foster over the rules of grammar, and then came back to enjoy and appreciate the novel course. Miss Hiner ' s warm smile has encouraged us in many an English class. All that we know about the Roosevelt adminis- tration, the old South, or the most recent bill before the House, we owe to Dr. Simpkins. His has been a liberalizing influence.
