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

All in all. Margie stands for a lot from the class and shows she can Take it by stealing the whole show in the plays she acts in, by writing marvelous literary crea- tions. by a subtle remark In someone’s direction, or by pulling down many A's in classes.
