John p. Wynne B. A., M. A., PH. D. Frofeasar of Education rector of student teachiug, he fulfills an office of im- portance in the college. Mr. Holton, of the Educa- tion 335, 336, 337 classes, began the philosophy of our Education, and told us of our teaching trials . . . but that ' s another story. Dr. Swertfeger was new this year, and our interest in his philosophy lectures went beyond his class room, even to heated discussion at the head table. Whether it ' s schedules or dances, caps and gowns or chemistry formulas, Ave all nm to Mr. Mac, whose logic and ingenuity have never failed us. The lab claims most of his time in his position as head of the Chemistry Department, but he manages to give long- hours each week to The Vieginian, his pet extra- curricular activity.

Dr. Jeffers was honored this year with the presidency of the National Biology Teachers ' Association. He and Dr. Stevens instructed the biologically-minded of us, even to holding tea-parties after lab some afternoon. Dr. Simpkins ' humor was a delight to us all. We

Mr. Graham kept his usual busy pace, and between times went off for his fishing or hunting trips (al- ways promising we could go). The Registrar ' s Office, when the smell of fresh paint wore away, eft ' ectively checked our grades, schedules, and class cuts. Miss Bugg held the usual conferences with us and prevented schedules from be- coming too perplexing. We kept the Business Office busy, and Miss Hiner, who never became impatient, helped us with financial matters. The Book Room and Post Office, iliss Taliaferro ' s domain, never was out of stamps or music books or laboratory manuals. Mrs. Shelton planned the menus again and gave us lovely banquets at Hallowe ' en and Christmas. Miss Lila London was the math, genius, and liss Taliaferro saw us through the agonies of Calculus and Trig. We learned kinesiology ( and even how to spell it) from ] liss Barlow as well as the enlighten- ing information of health education. Plead of the Geography Department, Miss Grace Moran, with her shining white hair and lovely face, fielped us pursue the problems of world population. Miss Waters, ab- sent in the fall quarter because of sickness, returned after Christmas to resume her work in the Geography Department. Each year we have seen the music department enlarge its programs under Mr. Strick, who this yeai ' has done even more in arranging the excellent concert with Harvard and Duke. He tire- lessly accompanies Chapel hymns, and IMiss Purdom directs from the state, wielding a trusty baton. Dr. Wynne had his room redecorated, and no one could pass without paying tribute to the new furnish- ings. As head of the Education Department and di- LisABETH Purdom B.

We learned Civil War from start to finish under Miss Tucker, and got to know the ancients under Miss Peck ' s tutelage. The education of each one of ns was not complete until we had taken the marriage coiirse taught by Miss Stubbs. It seemed rather superfluous to obtain credits for taking Shakespeare under Mr. Grainger when our enjo ' anent in the class made it more an interest than a burden. Miss Jennings taught us Tennyson, and ] Iiss London revealed to us the intricacies of Browning so that we could quote volumes from each of teaching English in the secondary schools.
