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.

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.

Miss Xicliols was busy this year with the dehatiug- team as well as her English literature, and Miss Foster was patient even when she despaired of our ever learning the verbals. The Commercial Department was headed by Mr. Landrum, who showed us the ways and means of ac- counting. Mrs. Wynne was firm about our typing and patient with our shorthand errors. Miss Crad- dock helped us to fors ' et the Columbus method of typing — you know, find it and then land on it — and taught us the correct way.
