Jocu 1. MISS IRENE McGuire, our Art teacher, has pronounced the drawings in the DAYESYE quite artistic. The success of this part of our work may be attributed to Miss McGuire s patient helpfulness, and persistent do it all over.” Her trained eye instantly detects many imperfections in productions which we prided ourselves on as real works of art. Miss LAURA Murray, for several years a member of the Faculty, is very successful in leading young minds to discover the beauty behind the lines of our American authors. Longfellow. Bryant. Irving and other national writers have a new group of admirers in our freshmen. Miss Murray’s first Latin class take real pleasure in declensions and conjugations. Miss MARGUERITE Hhckel has succeeded in arousing among the Junior Freshmen, a keen interest, not only in King J ut. but in Plato. Aristotle. Socrates and other famous ancients. Miss BLANCHE Reid, the Gymnasium teacher, puts the Freshmen and Sophomores through many healthful and grace-producing exercises. Her knowledge of our-door games and Folk Dances is an envy to us all. 13

Jdcu U £- TO our distinguished lecturer. Mr. George Benson Hewetson. we are indebted for a series of talks on English masterpieces. The ring of genuine sincerity which characterizes Mr. Hewetson’s utterances, quickened our appreciation for the true and beautiful. His earnest plea for the cultivation of self-expression was paramount in every lecture. Although enlisted in the apostolatc of literature. Mr. Hewetson’s platform often changes to a pulpit. His ever-present vision of 'l abor intrudes itself into all his talks. At such times his face seems to ' shine as the sun.'' as with no slight reluctance, he calmly comes down from the Mount. Constance Carroll Mr. G. B. Hewetson NO more popular instructor claims a place on S. M. A. staff than Mr. Beck. Just a few minutes before eleven o’clock he ushers himself in the west door, his head tossed to one side, and playing a tunc with his bunch of keys. He is soon lost in the swarm of girls, hurrying from the Cafeteria, moving with accelerated velocity towards the Study Hall. Mr. Beck is a big brother then, just one of the crowd, laughing and chatting familiarly with any near-by Miss. When all are assembled, and the big clock thrills the hour, he suddenly ceases to be Mr. Beck and assumes the dignity of our Music Director. Instantaneously. Big Baby Grand responds to his magic touch, and the walls of dear S. M. A. vibrate with harmonious parts of a Mar-chetti's “Ave Maria.” or a Busch's Song of Spring. That chorus hour, and our splendid Music Master shall ever live among pleasant memories. 12 •: Mr. J. J. BF-CK Myrna McGillis
