We had a private opinion of our own with regard to the.r tra ts, but it was lert to all the students of the school to decide for them- selves who is the most popular, most respected, most learned, the faculty dandy, and the one most easily bluffed. The voting voiced the sentiment of the school and showed that our teaching staff is not a hard, stern lot of pedagogues, but really a varied collection of real human beings. 'To know that Nlr. C. Howard Ross is the most popular teacher in school is indeed a pleasure, because this elongated character, with the enormous stride and the grin that endangers his ears, is always to be found where any fun is going on. His high flown utterances given with all cylinders hitting rapidly in succession are doubly interesting from the wide variety of experiences which he has undergone in his career. Those who took hiking trips with him will never forget them. One hike of a weekis duration to Starved Rock in the spring vacation was a red letter event of the year. All of his class work is made exceedingly popular because of the pithy illustrations used to impress the desired points. That surely is no joke about Nfr. Nutting being the most respected member of our staff oflearning. Vve all know what it is to be without a permit when diplomatic relations have been severed between us and some teacher, obliging us to apply to him for the desired consoling document. However, this reputation of his is not entirely fixed upon that one consideration but always when some good sound advice is wanted, we are sure to apply to the man who reposes behind the roll top desk in that space alotted to his business called the office. Everybody realizes that his long term of service and his wide range of experience puts him in a position to know just what is what. Nfiss Julia E. Gettemy is deemed to be the most learned of all of the tutors at present in our school. As head of the English department she is the dictator of the work in that line of study, and all of those who have ever had the pleasure of being pupils in any of her classes realize the extent of her knowledge. The art of teaching depends not so much upon a splendid education as upon ability to use it in terms easily understood. This is her prime quality. lt is rather a broad statement to say that Carl VV. Sagen is the faculty dandy considering that sucha man as Elmer S. Claar roams the concrete floors of our school in the capacity of a teacher. The popular majority goes to the occupant of Room ICQ, and considering everything, the cut of his clothes, his necktie, the fancy shirt, the perfectly good shine always in evidence on his navigators, and his sporting cap, we are convinced that he is the logical man for the job. hlr. Claarls horn rimmed double monocle came very near to turning the tide in his favor, but Nfr. Sagem frustrated that maneuver by artistically draping his watch chain across his chest in such a way that it could not be overlooked. Now comes the delicate part of our task. hliss lX'fantis Bloom is thought to be the most easily bluffed of all the faculty. We trust that this will work no havoc with those taking work in the biological department, as she may think that she is too lenient with her students and take steps to modify the prevailing opinion. lt is our belief that Rfiss Bloom gained this reputation through having taken pity on certain seniors in her Freshman classes and has encouraged them by giving those in the graduating class grades above the usual 75 to enable them to finish with a few good marks to their credit. Thus is charity always rewarded. 18 I1 Numa-rzcm ll ll SEVENTEEN ll
