MISS FLORENCE E. DREW, DEAN Johnson Normal School. Summer School: Clark Uni- versity, Columbia University, Winnetka, Boston University. One Who Understands.” Miss Drew means much in the lives of Sanborn House irls for they have learned to go to her with all their problems. She is never too busy to receive them with understanding and sympathy. Her philosophy is summed up in the following: “There’s so much good in the worst of us.” for she sees the good in every Lyndon girl. MISS ALICE PER NOW Coe College, A. B.; University of Iowa. M. A.; Graduate work Columbia University. “A sweeter person was never known. Although Miss Fernow is one of the quiet type, she till gets a great deal of pleasure out of life. As Dean for the first half of the year, she proved herself very understanding and anxious to do her best for the girls. Miss Fernow teaches the past, lives in the pre- sent. and foretells the future. MISS LORA FRISBY B. S. George Peabody College: M. A. Columbia Uni- versity; Graduate work Columbia University. Wit and wisdom always grow together. When we go over to visit Miss Frisby she always makes us feel welcome. No matter what she is doing she always lays it aside and greets us with a smile. Her Southern charm in entertaining immediately puts us at our ease. She uncovers the silver lining in many a dark cloud. She means the world and all to the Bean Cottage girls and to many of the Sanbornites. 8

MISS ELIZABETH C. HOFFMAN Cortlandt Normal School, Teachers College, Columbia University. “Her voice is ever soft and low An excellent thing in woman. Tolerance, unde rstanding. poise, and a sense of humor are the qualities that best describe Miss Hoff- man. She never gives grudgingly of herself and so is a boon to all unadjusted persons wishing adjustment; introverts longing to be extroverts; burden carriers needing a prop; and bored souls craving a good laugh. As a teacher she is a whole methods course in her- self and an inexhaustible source of ideas. MISS FLORENCE LANGLEY Simmons College, B. S. Sweet, demure and quite sedate She treads her earthward way The troubles that perchance she meets Are all quite soon put far away.” She has a ready smile, a helping hand, and a sense of humor for she can laugh at our foolish and exas- perating mistakes in cooking and sewing. MISS EDITH R. SM ELKER Miami University, B. S.; Cornell University. M. A. Learned of every bird its language. Learned their names and all their secrets, How they built their nest in summer. Where they hid themselves in winter. There is a saying somewhere that runs, After all it is the little everyday services that count the most;” and Miss Smelker certainly does many of these ser- vices for us. She never considers our many problems trivial but gives a sympathetic ear and helpful hand. She is our teacher and true friend. 9
