16 THE NORM AL LIGHT 1925 Faculty DR. P. W. MOORE Principal A. M., LI. D., Shaw University. You have heard of a poet-laureate but perhaps you have not heard of a Principal-laureate. Well, if you haven ' t here is your chance. We give him this name, for surely Dr. Moore should be crowned with laurel. Since the organization of the school in 1892 he has devoted his time wholly to its success. PROF. J. H. BIAS - Vice--Principal A. B., Lincoln University (Mo.) He can truly be called the father of Education. In the drama of our school life he repre- sents zeal, intellectualism, and eloquence. The short time he has been with us Prof. Bias has spent his time in trying to make us see the importance of using our time well. MISS OTHELLO HARRIS Science and Education A. B., Howard University, M. A., Columbia University. Where does light go when it is blown out? How can the dot washed from the blackboard be used again? Ask Miss Harris. She can surely give an answer. PROF. L. L. HENDERSON Education and History Ph. B., Drake University. He knows the history of the whole world as we know our alphabet. We think he must have been present at the Hundred Years War from the way he can talk about it. PROF. C. F. HOLMES Mathematics A. B., Howard University. Chalk and talk is his motto. He wants you to explain the proposition while putting it down. He can work anything pertaining to mathematics except subtract chickens from pigs . MRS. M. E. DOLES Education and Critic Supervisor A. B., Shaw University. A pleasing personality and remarkable ability as a critic teacher are the excellent possess- ions of our supervisor of the Normal Department. Under her direction the work progresses smoothly. MISS W. M. KING English, Latin and French A. B., Wilberforce University. Bonjour, Mademoiselle, comment-allez-vous? Bonjour, je me porte bien. When you leave Miss King ' s class, you are able to speak French with the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte, Jean D ' Arc or Marie Antoinette. MISS E. J. LEWIS - — English A. B., University of Michigan. We believe that she knows everything about English. She is thoroughness personified and puts English right there for us. If we don ' t get it, it isn ' t any fault of hers. She is the Senior High School class adviser and gives us the real advice. MISS L. D. QUARLES French and Latin A. B., Howard University. Un, deux, trois, et unus, duo, tres these are her subjects and these she can teach. Talk about coming in late — oh, no! and cut class if you dare! She finishes her classes by saying, What are vou going to do? REV. J. T. DOLES History and Civics H. B., Shaw University. Wait a minute, daughter is his favorite expression. Everyone likes his method of teach- ing History for he makes it a delightful story. At prayer meeting he points out the straight and narrow path. MISS A. M. DAVIS Music A. B., Fisk University. When she sits down and begins to play Time is forgotten and flies away. MRS. JULIA MARSH Domestic Art A. B., Howard University. Sewing is essential. Mrs. Marsh can teach one to make a dress from a pair of trousers. She takes the scissors and says to them, Cut , and they obey her. Her fashion shows are not surpassed by the Federated Stvle Shows of New York. MISS M. E . OSBY Domestic Science Fisk University. She teaches the baking of cakes and pies, Bread, doughnuts and cookies, too; With flour and spice and all things nice She shows us what to do.
