ture, and caused the reading of it to be as pleasant as (in the case of some of us) it used to be dreadful. 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.

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.

We ' ve spent many an afternoon in the out-of-doors with Miss Moran, absorbed in nature study, and then learned from Miss Waters the principles of climates and weather-belts. We ' ve long since learned to re- spect and value Miss Iler ' s lessons in sportsmanship, her invaluable advice, and her inspiration toward a greater school spirit.
