the back porch, Dr. Jarman ' s office, and Longwood. Miss Taliaferro supervises the mail with remarkable exactitude and patience, despite this year ' s conflicting time schedule. The library is synonymous in our minds with peace and quiet, furnishing the atmosphere as well as the material for more serious endeavors. Mrs. Boysworth was responsible for the timely displays on each side of the desk. She and Miss Snead were eagerly sought out when difficulties over parallel or reference began. The dietitian for the college is Miss Annie Shelton and she is assisted by Mrs. TurnbuU. Each year they plan the lovely banquets at Hallowe ' en, Christmas, and Vale ntine ' s. Dr. John P. Wynne directed the Department of Education, with Mr. Holton, Miss Camper, Mr. Coyner, Dr. Swertfeger, and Mr. Johnson assisting in the fields of philosophy and psychology. We progressed from psychology and its theories of learning, to the practicalities of education in the element- ary and secondary schools, and from there to the thought- provoking and disputable philosophical theories of Bode, James, Dewey, and others.

TALIAFERRO Postmistress FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION FROM freshman to senior, every student is in constant con- tact with those who direct and influence all the happen- ings of our college life in a multitude of ways. The academic pursuits of the classroom, the social activities which round out the serious side, the physical education which is particu- larly important in the defense of the nation, and the business transactions necessary in the conduct of affairs ... all receive the attention of a well-trained, experienced faculty and ad- ministration. Rarely a day passes without the necessity (by no means unpleasant) of a visit to Miss Bugg ' s office. As Reg- istrar of the College, she is our consultant on such important and perplexing matters as courses, curricula, and hours of credit. The treasurer ' s office is carefully supervised by Miss Hiner, who minimizes financial worries of the treasurers of organizations. Miss Mary, dignified and gracious, is Head of the Home. Mr. Graham, as Business Manager, appears as an illusive person until one learns his habitual haunts . . .

Mr. Grainger, head of the English Department, chartered the courses of English majors. Each teacher we remember for a particular course from which we benefited greatly: Miss Jennings and her class in Tennyson, Miss Hiner, whose classes caught her love of Browning, Miss Foster and the novel class, the indispensable course in methods, taught by Miss London, and the interesting survey of American and British poetry taught by Miss Nichols. The Speech Depart- ment was directed by Miss Leola Wheeler, who also coached the fall and spring plays produced by the Dramatic Club.
