ART The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection. — Michael Atigclo. ISABEL SEVIER SCOTT, Direclor of the School of Art Mrs. Scott ' s great vocation is knocking — copper. Karly in the morning she can be seen walking down College avenue toward Lam- bert Mall, nodding and smiling pleasantly to everyone. INIrs. Scott has a motherly way about her that wins the hearts of all the students. .Nothing pleases the boys more than an invitation for an evening at the . ' cott residence, for Mrs. Scott certainly knows how to entertain. ART In the art of design, color is to form what verse is to prose. — Jamison. LUELLA C. SOLLERS. Assisianl in Art Even though Luella has lately attained the distinguished position of a member of the faculty, yet she is still one of us, and is in for as much fun as anyone. She is a hard worker, a good student, a good friend, and an ardent reader of the epistles of Paul. Great was her agitation when she found that one of these epistles was lost. A room hung with thoughts. — Reynolds ART pictures is a room hung with DAISY CLIFTON, B.F.A., Irnlruclor in China Painting and Water Color She ' s a Daisy all right. Her smiling face and rainbow apron are ihe sunshine of the . rt Department. Among her many arts is that of stiuinting at her work and still looking pretty. But her greatest art is tlint of winning friends and staunch ones, too. REIJGIOX Religion crowns the statesman and tlic man. Sole source of ]niblie and of jirivatc peace. — Young. REV. SAMUEL F. DAUGHERTY. A.M., B.D. College Pastor When we tell you that our college pastor has faced the critical eye i ( the faculty and student body for five years with nothing but praise from all, we have told the whole story.

MUSIC Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. To soften rocks or bend a knotted oak. — Congrcvc. GLENN GRANT GRABILL, Director of the Conservatory Under the direction of this ■ Huropean trained musician, the Con- servatory has reached a high degree of excellence. A word of praise from him counts for much. As a teacher he can ' t be beat. His favorite brand of gum is Spearmint. MUSIC Music so softens and disarms the mind That not an arrow does resistance find. ' — Waller. FRANK JORDAN RESLER, Ph.B., Instructor in Voice Everyone loves Dad. He and his little dears, as he calls them, need no eulogy — they warble their own. ' hen his pet phrase, For Heaven ' s sake, frightens the dears into a panic, his I love you dearly, always quiets them. His jokes always take, for he tells when to laugh. MUSIC Nature was here so lavish of her store That she bestowed until she had no more. — Brozcn. MAUD ALICE HANAWALT, Instructor in Piano If anyone ever gets through liss Ilanawalt ' s finger gymnastics without having his fingers deformed or getting his disposition ruined he is lucky. But when he once recovers he is sure to be able to per- form any stunt imaginable on the piano. She rivals Leschetizky him- self when it comes to handling the piano. MUSIC There is a sadness in sweet sound That quickens tears. LUCELLE GILBERT, Instructor in Violin This musician-haired boy has in one brief year established his repu- tation as a violinist. He has also proved himself an able leader of the college band and orchestra. Greater still is his wonderful power of im- personating. He stars most as a representative of the Big Four babboon family. 21

MUSIC r.ive me some music; music, moody food Of us that trade in love. — Shakespeare. VERNON ELLSWORTH FRIES, Mus,B., Instructor in Piano Every faculty must have its youngest memlier, and this is It (ladies excluded). He is a natural musician. He can play with his right hand, with his left hand, or both at one time. It is even said that when an infant he played with his toes. His favorite students are girls. MUSIC Her step is music and her voice is song. — Bailey. GRACE DENTON, Instructor in Piano and Voice This tall, slim, slick sapling hails from the woodlands (Sylvania) of northern Ohio. ] Iiss Denton is a valuable addition to our social functions, for her singing and playing are always in demand. She dotes on her chaperoning ability, but some of tb.e girls, to be n the safe side, prefer an older head. MUSIC Oh, it came over my ear like the sweet south wind that breathes upon a isank of violets, stealing and giving odor! — Shakespeare. LULU MAY BAKER, A.B., Instructor in Piano Miss Baker is known as a thorough teacher and is well liked by her students. She is spending the year in Berlin, where she is toning down her dignity and also studying under the great German masters. We hope that she will not acquire German customs to the e.xtenr of in- troducing pretzels and after dinner coffee (?) into Otterbein society. MATROX We sail the sea of life; a calm one finds. And one a tempest, and the voyage o er, Death is the quiet haven of us all. — U ' orJszeortI-. ANNA V. ZELLER, Matron of Cochran Hall Just as the Sibyl was ready for press and it was impossible to change the copy, we learned of the death of Iiss Zeller. For five years she has nobly filled her position as matron of Coch- ran Hall. During that time she has made many friends among both the boys and the girls. Although her position was i. dimcult one to rill, she was always kind and had the welfare of all at heart. She will be greatly missed and her place will be hard to fill. — Editor. 23
