The most prominent place in our curriculum is given to Bible study. To Rev. Foley we fed especially indebted, for he has taught here so long and has given us freely of his rich knowledge of the Word of Truth. Dr. Validityne, by his apt illustrations, has illumined to us the pages of the Gospels, while Mr. Moyer ' s admonition to read the Book will not readily leave us. The academic subjects of our course are ably handled by teachers who are well fitted lor their particular tasks. In Dr. Roberts ' and Mr. Butler ' s classes we have learned how to meet the need on the foreign and home fields respec¬ tively Mr. Rutt and Mr. Loken have done all in their power to bring us to

itlrs. 3. J. TOootinU We arc continually being reminded of the fact that God is vitally interested in every detail of our lives. Last summer while looking forward to our Senior year, we were praying earnestly that God would send to be our Dean of Women, one of His own choice. As is often the case, God answered our prayers more abundantly than we could ask or even think. October first came and the southern skies opened up to be¬ stow upon us a real Mother, Mrs. I. J. Woodall of Ashville, North Carolina, Wc know that wc have found a jewel —not a diamond in the rough, but pol¬ ished sure enough. She has had a rich, wide experience in the Master’s ser¬ vice which has equipped her exception¬ ally well to be a leader of young people. For a number of years Mrs, Woodall taught the Bible and Music in the State Baptist College in Ouichita. Arkansas, and later in the State Baptist College of Tennessee. Perhaps her greatest work was the fifteen years spent in the Mountain Schools of North Carolina, teach¬ ing the Bible and literature, and at the same time having hundreds of young women under Her direct supervision. Her implicit faith in God and His Word has been an inspiration to us. In the times of doubt and impatience she has calmed and steadied us with the admonition to wait and not run ahead of Him. We have often marvelled at her skilful ness in diagnosing not only our spiritual but also our physical ail¬ ments. Her constant thought and care in our behalf has made our home life bright and sweet. Our memories of her will always be precious and we pray that God will give her many years of fruitful service in the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School. 7

Mr, St ix rood ' s practical lectures on Sunday School organization have been of great help, and Church History has been made intensely interesting by our instructor, Mr. Payne. In Mr. Robb we have a parliamentarian who tells us how to do things ‘ in decency and in order.” The English department, in connection with which a course in public speaking is given, is under the supervision of Miss Acomb. She and Miss Hultcrantz. together with the student teachers, have done their part in prepar¬ ing us to be used in our Master s service. We believe we have a faculty of whom we can be justly proud. The only way in which we can express our appreciation is by proclaiming the blessed truths here learned, and thus souls will be added to their hire. 9
