bl I4 'W77' ': EW 2'E'Nf ART How pretty, Her blushing was, and how she blushed again. -Tennyson. HARRIET GEGNER. Instructor in China and Arts and Crafts. A very leisurely little person is Miss Gegner. She is very precise and care- ful about everything except getting to her meals on time. There is one fault to find,-she has broken the hearts of a number of male members of the student body by the coquettish way she has of using her eyes. Miss Gegner is fond of all kinds of athletics, and is one of the most enthusiastic rooters at all the games. LIBRARY The great consulting-room of a wise man is a librarvf' -Dawson TIRZA I... BARNES, BS. Librarian. Miss Barnes is one of the few members of the Faculty who never appears in the class room. From this we must not conclude that the students estimate her position lightly, for, indeed, she is their constant and untiring friend. It is she who is able to reveal to students and professor alike all the hidden store of knowledge. In the library it is her earnest endeavor to convince all who enter therein that Silence is Golden, and those who fail to appreciate her views are promptly expelled. LIBRARY I-Ier smile was like a rainbow flashing from a misty sky. -Anna K. Green. ANNA DELL LAFEVER, PH. B. Assistant Librarian. Rain or shine, hot or cold, no matter what may be the weather indications, Miss LaFever is always the same cheerful person. She has a smile for everyone, and is a veritable light-house for all ship-wrecked students struggling on the dark seas of long themes and essays, and searching for the Lost Island of Inspiration. Through her efforts the Muses are nearly always brought back from their hiding- places, and shown what is expected of them. IVIATRON Fret not thyself because of evil doers. -Proverbs. MRS. TERESA M. CAREY, Matron of Cochran Hall. It is Mrs. Carey's earnest purpose in life to instil into the frivolous minds of her charges at Cochran Hall that they must live up to the standards which their parents placed for them. Every one believes that she must be endowed with some superhuman power, or she would never be able to withstand the woes and misery naturally connected with the responsibility of such a position.

3'-L? ': 'EW2E'N ' Q I 1-1 ' ' I MUSIC The hidden Soul of Harmony. -Chaucer. MAUDE. ALICE HANAWALT. Instructor in Piano. Ar the opening of every school year IVIiss I-Ianawalt is faced by some new student with the question, Are you a freshman? which is, of course, a hard blow to her dignity. Nevertheless she still maintains both her dignity and pro- ticiency as a teacher. She insists that her pupils relax the wrist and dig for tones until the most awkward of the aspiring musicians cannot help but apply both of her principles some of the time, and probably one of them all the time. MUSIC 'Tis strange how very like a duncef'-Shakespeare. LUCELLE E. GILBERT. Instructor in Violin and Band Instruments. Some people say that Prof. Gilbert uses his violin to beat the band, but we feel that he uses it to draw forth melody from the violin strings. Gil is of a happy hustling nature and has his hilarious moods as well as his sober ones, both of which reproduce themselves in his music. MUSIC Sang in tones of deep emotion, Songs of Iove and songs of longing. -Longfellow. GRACE EDITH DENTON. Instructor in Piano and Voice. It just makes me heart-sick that Miss Denton objects to having her favorite expression published, but since she fears that it will be plagiarized, we shall refrain from exposing it publicly. I-Iowever, if any one is especially eager to know it, he may have his desire by personal solicitation. Aside from her ability to entertain by her singing, this tall, willowly maiden is welcomed into all circles because of her love of fun. ART Art is nature made by man, To man the interpreter of God. -Meredith. BLANCHE E. BASCOM. Instructor in Water Color, Oil, Pencil, and Charcoal. IVIiss Bascom tells that she comes from Pratt Institute where artists make the colors sing. This lady is very devoted to her work, and exacts direct treatment from all her pupils.

DTTEHZEIN I RELIGION Think on thy sins. - Othello. REV. SAMUEL F. DAUGHERTY, A.M., B.D. College Pastor. For the last seven years Rev. Daugherty has served as college pastor. His efforts have been always untiring and faithful, and it is clearly evident that he has the welfare of each and every student at heart. PHYSICAL TRAINING And when a lady's in the case, ' You know all other things give place. --Cray. WILLIAM GARDNER. Physical Director For Men. Mr. Gardner can do almost everything from bucking the strongest line in football and caging a basket ball to looting a flute and entertaining the ladies. It is said, also, that under the proper conditions he can cuss fwhisper ill but we doubt this unless sufficient proof can be given. Our Coach is a graduate from the United States Indian School at Carlisle, Pa., upon which he reflects admirable credit in all his work here. PHYSICAL TRAINING Cold that buys health can never be ill spent, Nor hours laid out in harmless merrimentf'-John Webster. ELSIE FERNE PARSONS. Physical Director for Women. The strongest doctrine this young woman preaches is the proper care of the physical being. I-Ier motto is, A strong mind and a healthy body. This has proved true with her for she has a mind so active and vigorous that she is able to debate fluently and convincingly on questions exactly opposite her beliefs, Hphysicallyf' This accomplishment may be partly due to the experiences she de- rives from association with a certain one of the Senior Class. MONEY But, by the gods, lads, I am glad you have the money. -Shakespeare. W. O. BAKER. Treasurer. Mr. Baker is our Cash Register, and always greets the students with the superfluous question, What can I do for you? We have heard of being finan- cially bruised, bent, and broken, but all these conditions are nothing compared with the total massacre resulting from a visit to the treasurer's office.
