Erickson, B.A. Marie I.. Johnson, M.S. Publimtiom Adviser After having taught good literature to so many students, it is only natural that some book or some ficti- tious character has become a favorite with these teachers. Miss Mellie john expresses a distinct preference for the Forsyte Saga as her favorite books, and Miss Ruth Ann White thinks that for a current book The Good Shepherd is excellent. Both Miss Mignon Erickson and Miss Marie Johnson favor current books also, Miss Erickson's being Behind the Face of japan, and Miss Johnsons the The Key's of The Kingdom. Miles Bjornstrom in Main Street impressed Miss Mary Hills very much, and The Problems of Lasting Peace ap- peals to Miss Edith Lawson. V 1 T-is-x -:rw A . ' X wil.. 3 'f'A?x'5s7'l-ygf - ., . . .'

Then too, there is Miss Catherine Needham's favorite, Sebelius' Symphony Number l, and Miss Jacquelyn Anderson's universally well loved Tschaikowsky's Fifth Symphony.
