HARRIS DAVID ERICKSON, Professor ofPl1ilosophy.M.'I'l1., Berkeley Divinity School, 1933. Professor Erickson, as head of the Philosophy Department, has contributed much to the stabilif zation of the spiritual life of the students. His simple illustrations, such as starting' at a point and letting the class decide whither bound, have been a means of clarihcation of some of the foggy ideas recovered from the musty archives of the ancient philoso' phers. Incidentally, there is al' ways a point to his lectures. DOROTHY LOUISE GIL- MORE, Instructor in Violin, String Ensemble, and Orclresf tra. Graduate, College of Puget Sound Normal Department, 1927. Here comes Gilmore now! Not with the roar of the lion, but with the strains of a fiddle. Her chief virtue is harmony among the many adverse vibrations emit' ted by her orchestral instruments. She holds her classes at the prop' er pitch and seldom gives them a rest. She has no strings on anything but her orchestra, but the brass of the wind section will lmglp her blow her way through 1 e. VIOLET E. HARRIS, lnstruc' tor in Art. B.F.A., University 0fMlSl1f71gfO71, 1925. The perspective of our vision has been colored by our art in' structor, Miss Harris. Although some of her classes have prof duced work that had to be shaded, there was enough color in each masterpiece to produce a half anced effect. Miss Harris has many lines with which she works, and she sometimes takes a sharp curve, but she invariably has a rhythm that swings into action and creates something beautiful. MABEL R. SHIPLEY, Professor of History. A.M., University of Vtkrshington, 1932. Miss Shipley is the one teacher who lives in the past, and yet who is never out of dates for the present. The phrase, fasten that in your thinking, has come to mean a dark foreboding that in the future the fact referred to will return to haunt the student who, a few weeks earlier, was wool gathering. Miss Shipley's students are reminded of Chau' eer's words, And still they gazed, and still their wonder grew, that one small head could carry all she knew. LILLIAN DANIELSON, Pro' fessor of Speech. A.B., College of Puget Sound, 1924. One thing for which we shall always remember Miss Danielson is that she won for the school this year membership in Pi Kap' pa Delta, a national honorary in Speech. Her courses offer a varif ety of oh's and al1's and shipfaf hoy's, all in variations of gut' teral, nasal, and boisterous tones, but since she is a career woman, she adds her enthusiasm and vigor to her instruction and leads her students through to certain victory. GOLDANELSON KENDRICK, Professor of French. Pl1.D., University of Waslzington, I939. Witlx still another doctor in our midst, there should be no reason for those ill feelings experienced by students walking into a French test. Dr. Kendrick has only one prescription to offer for a satis- fied, healthy condition, and a French A, and that is study, LOUIS HART, Instructor in Physical Education and Direcf tor oj'Atl1letics. A.B., Univerf sity of Southern California, 1937. Louie has been more than Coach to the fellowsg he has been a real pal. Wlietlmer putting varsity men through their paces, calling difficult decisions on the baseball diamond, or chasing an elusive ball around the Foster Golf Course, he has been a friend to everyone. GRACE L. MARSTON, Super' visor of Cadet 'Teaching in the Primary Department. A. B., University of Waslrington, 1933. The tinkle of a little bell and a pleasant voice calling, Get in the line, children, tell us that Mrs. Marston is shepherding her little flock into the training school, where she is 'supervisor of the primary grades. With an eye for the cheerful, colorful things that children lovefancl a thoughtful memory of their birthdays and individual interests, she wins the hearts of pupils and cadet teach- ers alike. . X3

ELSIE C. WATSON, Dean of Women: Instructor, Orleans Seminary, 1910-ll. The Dean of Women commands no little distinction in herself, but Mrs. Watson carries the add' ed prestige of being the wife of the President, so she may well be said to be twice blessed. The high esteem in which she is held because of her ability to advise and still retain as true friends the women of the student body, has won for her a unique place in the hearts of the Assof ciated Women of S.P.C. DOROTHY FRYER, Secretary to the President. A.B., Seattle Pacific College, 1939. We have always appreciated the cheery countenance and willing spirit of helpfulness manifested by Miss Fryer when one enters the oilice. Her eitlicient assistance has been granted to all, and her many capabilities have been a valuable asset in the administraf tion of school business. CAROL H. SCHENCK, Superf visor of Cadet Teaching in IntermediateDepartment.A.B., Seattle Pacijic College, 1937. Although she lives half way to Tacoma, Mrs. Schenck is never out of the interest of the train' ing school. When she characterf istically says, Lesson plans are due on Friday, or kindly sugf gests, You have two or three discipline problems to work out, cadet teachers realize how intif mately she understands those grades she supervises. HARVEY C. MCMILLIN, Pro' fessor of Zoology. Ph.D., Stan- ford University, 1935. When we see dislocated hearts and lungs in the Lab, we know it is Doc McMillin cutting up capers to show his students how they are made. Doc has been called .the largest object on the campus, but nature knew that a great heart like his could not be confined in a small body. lilf MARGARET A. BURSELL, Librarian. B.S., University of Xkhishington, 1931. Quiet and unassuming, yet eihf cient and responsible is our librarian, Miss Bursell. She moves so quietly through the library that we never know she is about until we wish to tell those favor' ite jokes which were better told outside. Although she is small of stature we cannot deny her strength, for she has put such men as Caesar, Napoleon, Foch, Moltke, and Hitler on the shelf and laid world empires aside. VIVIAN K. BLAIR, Instructor in Christian Education. M.R.E., Biblical Seminary, New York, 1934. Although one of the newest addif tions to the faculty, Mrs. Blair has iilled a very prominent posi' tion this year in her Christian Education classes. Her interest seems to have been divided among the children in books and an infant at home. We expect that some day the baby girl will be signing up with Mama and Papa for courses at S.P.C. C. MAY MARSTON, Professor of English. A.M., University of Vkhsliington, 1914. Miss Marston's classes are quite the ideal, as her style of teaching is always as you like it. Often she takes her students through the tempest, and they begin to 'feel love's labor lost, but at the end of the quarter they know that all's well that ends well. LILLIAN PICKENS, Precep- tress, Instructor in English. A.B.,-Greenville College, 1916, Shhh! lt's study hour, girls - Miss Pickens is on the job! Her sweet disposition and unlimited patience will be remembered a great deal longer than her apolof getic, Now, girls, l don't like to make these speeches, but . . . Bringing sandwiches or cake in the evening or remembering the girls' birthdays with a favor cup -these are expressions of her kindly supervision of Grace Tiff fany Hall.

ETHEL GERTRUDE RAY- MOND, Supervisor of Cadet Teaching in Intermediate De- partment, and Instructor in Spanish. A.M., University of Washington, 1930. Ability to lead children mildly and unobtrusively is the oft- mentioned characteristic of Miss Raymond, under whose super- vision the seventh and eighth grades of the training school have been for several years. We shall miss her next year when she goes to California with a new name. Best wishes, Miss Raymond! LUCILE SECORD WARREN, Instructor in Nutrition and History of Nursing. A.B., Seattle Paciyic College, 19245 R.N. McPherson County Hos- pital, Kansas, 1922. One department of our educa- tional held which trains workers for a worthy service is the pre- nursing course. Mrs. Vkhrren has very capably filled her position as instructor. Besides teaching her students the science of nurs- ing, she has personally given them of herself spiritually. Many a needy soul will reap of this benefit through the nurses who will go out from her classes. FRANCIS E. BARNARD, Associate Professor of Mtlsic. Detroit Institute of Musical Art, 1932. Seattle Pacific has been fortu- nate in having on her staff such an outstanding artist as Profes- sor Barnard, one who has gone far in his musical accomplish- ments. Who of his listeners has not thrilled at his touch on the keys, and who has not been in- spired by his ability? He has given much to our radio prof grams, as well as to numerous concerts in our school. ANNA ELLEN BURNS,Assist- ant Professor in English. A.M., University of Washing- ton, 1932. There is a hedge all Freshmen must hurdle hy chasing commas and parts of sentences i-n English Comp with Miss Burns. Under her thorough instruction, stu- dents hecome pun-conscious and strive to master their grammar for examinations. As for weekly themes, one breathes a sigh of relief after the second quarter and is reminded of Poe's immor- tal words, Quoth the raven, 'Nevermoref MARION JOY STOLL, Instruc- tor in Voice and Public School Music. A.M., Claremont Col' lege, 1934. Miss Stoll is a melodious person- ality who radiates joy through song. As the director of the A Capella Choir, she arranged outstanding musical programs which have been highlights of college activity. Her Winsome ways make her a favorite among the students. WINIFRED E. WETER, Pro- fessor of Classical Languages. Ph.D., University of Chicago, 1933. One could hardly imagine that two Helds so widely diverse as Greek and Gymnasium would capture the interests of Miss Weter. In her is the personifica- tion of the adage, Still water runs deep. Her quiet, unassum- ing manner and her ever-present smile add much to the charm of her personality. EDWARD P. BLAIR, Professor of Biblical Literature. S.'l .B., Biblical Seminary, New York, 19345 Pl1.D., 'Yale University, 1939. To speak with him convinces one that wisdom did not die with our forefathers. A long man with long lectures and a full briefcase may well describe him. His spirit of archeology Ends its way into every classroom, for he is forever unearthing genius or the antithe- sis. With him we have journeyed the road to Damascus and sailed the Galilee. There is much action in his classes, but all of the acts are not the Acts of the Apostles. WILMA WARKENTINE, School Nurse. R.N., South- western 'Training School of Nurses, Wichita, Kansas. Our school nurse has given un- stintingly of her time and ener- gies for the well-being of all in Seattle Pacific College. During the influenza epidemic of last winter, without complaint, she set her lessons aside to give her full time to ministering to the sick. In the sickroom her cheery smile and kind disposition made it easy to taken even the most disagreeable pills.
