l , MATHEMATICS Maud M. Patterson, M.A. Russell J. Erb, M.A. Head of Department Ruth E. Peterson, B.S. William Tiaden, B.S. Bert Bglo, M.A. Frances L. Regan, A.B. Roberta E. Presnell, M.A. There is a very little variety in the choice of these teachers as to a favorite movie, for although Miss Frances Regan did list Gone With the Wind as her other favorite movie, she, as well as Miss Maud Patterson, Miss Ruth Peterson, Mrs. Roberta Presnell, and Miss Bertha Bardo, listed Mrs. Miniver as their best liked movies of the current season. As for a favorite radio program, symphony orchestra concerts and quiz programs rate very high. To Miss Regan or Miss Bardo, a program like the Ford Sunday Evening Hour, or the New York Phil- harmonic gives untold listening pleasure, while for Miss Peterson or Mrs. Presnell, Quiz Kids and Information Please, respectively make a good half hour of listening. .X V - , . , - 'F 'eb-fe?

COMMERCIAL Chester L. Bailey, A.B. Jennie May Strawman, B.S. Head of Department Q Elmer Dewey, Leslie O'Brien, M.A. Elizabeth E. Kemper, M.S. Josephine G. Rounds, B.A. ii V Many and varied are the courses ,enjoyed by these teachers during their years in school because of some practical value which they received. For both Mr. Elmer Dewey and Mr. Leslie O'Brien economics proved to be a very valuable subject because of its help in solving our daily economic problems. Mr. Chester L. Bailey found his course in law contracts a most profitable subject, and to Miss Elizabeth Kemper the course in psychology which she studied was of great interest. As for Miss Jennie Strawman and Miss Josephine Rounds, shorthand for the former and sociology for the latter proved to be of much value, since the practical side of shorthand appealed to Miss Strawman, and the aid in understanding people provided by sociology appealed to Miss Rounds. .

scltuc Lamont M. Clikeman, M.A. Peers F. Ray, M.S. Head of Deparlment S. Alera McEvoy, B.A. Arthur R. S J' ,,f Emery G. Fritsch, M.S. I1 - mgt t is tifm W Guy N. smith, B.s. It is always interesting to know the rules by which various people guide their lives, so here are those rules by which these faculty members live. According to Mr. Raymond Hoisington The world demands of us only that we do our best, while Mr. Emery Fritsch contends that The world wants things done, not excuses. Miss Aleta McEvoy patterns her life along the idea that friends are valuable assets, and Mr. Lamont Clikeman quite definitely states that If a thing is worth doing at all it is worth doing well. Doing today's work today has al- ways helped Mr. Peers Ray along, while Mr. Arthur Satre always looks for the good in his fellowman but doubts if anyone can live by one motto alone. And Mr. Guy Smith contentedly feels that The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence. E173 if?'lf1f:J-r'- ., -,.7l'IF:m+E xjgwf - 4
