Assistant Professor of English LM ])oeti ' y class. 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.

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.

Hei.kn Urapkr U. .S.. M. A. I ' liifesaor of French Bessie H. Jetek Associate Professor of Home Economics Miss Coble presided at the Practice House, where all home economies majors are bound to go sooner or later. Miss Jeter, Miss Tupper, and Miss Bolick taught us to sew, cook, run a house, and do all the other things which make up the work of the Home Ec. Department. Head and sole teacher of the Speech and Dramatic Department is oiir own Miss Wheeler. Each one of us went into her class for the first time scared tn death, and came out dreamy-eyed over her beautifu interpretations of jaoetry, her knowledge of dramatics and speech. In connection with speech and language, the French, Spanish, and Latin classes are taught by Mrs. Martin, Miss Drajjer, and iiiss Rice.
