Books are the ever-burning lamp of accumulated wisdom. —Curtis When we think of Miss Roberts’ companions, books is the first thought resulting. Fiction and biographies are her favorite types, with the Scandinavian writings of Selma Lagerof appealing most strongly. Too often teaching sewing is thought to be the only work of Miss Roberts, who teaches girls how to dress, what to wear, and when to wear it. Costumes for all our presentations are made by her and her classes. Subjects: Sewing. Qraduate of: Keystone State Teacher's College. Post-graduate work at: Muhlenberg College, Columbia University.
