LEE seems to have a never-ending supply of apt mottoes, the reason is that she is a collector of them. Miss Lee received a B.S.

To learn of the latest possible scienti- fic advances Mr. Finlay has studied under the General Electric Fellowship Program at Union College and the National Science Fellowship Program at Clarkson College of Technology. Since the world has grown smaller by the scientific advance of communications and transpor- tation, there is a great need for understanding the political and socio-economic situations of the peoples of many nations. Naturally, this under- standing is achieved much more easily if we are able to speak the languages peculiar to each country. Although we cannot leam all the lan- guages necessary for such an understanding, our adventures in a foreign language at least take us a step or two in the right direction. Five members are included in the Language Department of our school. An A.B. Degree from Elmira College is credited to MINNIE BALTIMORE, who enjoys sewing in her leisure time.

We are learning to seek and find beauty in the most humble and most magnificent surroundings it can offer. Mr. McKaig is well qualified to guide us in our search for beauty since he received both his B.F.A. and M.F.A. Degrees from Syracuse University.
