Most of the seniors know Miss Barbara Bartholdi as one of their fellow classmates last year. She came back to Sullins this year to assist in riding, for she has both wide interest and talent in that field. Miss Bartholdi is from Minneapolis, Minnesota. One of her hobbies is riding in horse shows; we owe her much appreciation for the cups and ribbons she has won for Sullins. Our school nurse, Mrs. Guy B. McArthur, is a native of New York. She received her training in Philadelphia at Lakeneau Hospital and at St. Christopher ' s Hospital for Children. In World War I she was a Red Cross nurse. We all realize that Sullins could not get along with- out Mrs. Mac ' s gentle and patient care. We have learned to love and respect her. Because of the efforts of Miss Anne S. Dempster, Sullins lassies are kept comfortable and happy. She supervises the dormitories and sup- plies us with all our room necessities. One would think she would tire of all the complaints and difficulties she is confronted with daily, but she just keeps smiling and quietly solves our problems. Miss Virginia S. Holtzendorff of Arkansas came to Sullins this January as piano accompanist and teacher. She received two years of training at the St. Louis Institute of Music and the Bachelor of Music degree from Louisiana State University. She has also done summer work at Northwestern University. Outs ide of her piano work, Miss Holtzendorff likes to read. Probably one of the most questioned persons on the Sullins campus is Miss Frances C. Baker, our post-mistress. A graduate of Sullins, she also took some lecture courses at William and Mary College. Miss Baker has had a year ' s experience with a well-known interior deco- rator. Besides getting our mail to us, she finds time to collect antique glass and do some interior decorating. At Left (top to bottom): Miss Bartholdi, Miss Holtzendorff, Miss Baker.

Miss Liles came to Sullins last year after serving overseas in the Army Athletic School and other schools in France and in Germany. She received her B. S. degree from Alabama College. Miss Myra Stowe of Belmont, North Carolina, is a member of the physical education department. She received her B. S. degree from the University of North Carolina. Miss Stowe, who is co-sponsor of the Athletic Association, also helps in the afternoon seasonal sports. Her cheerful and friendly manner and her sincere interest in all the girls have made her a place in our hearts. Mrs. Helen Cooper of Bristol, Tennessee, is the capable accom- panist for the dance department. Mrs. Cooper is a graduate of Sullins, where she received her certificate in piano. She is a fine musician and a great help in making the Mardi Gras pageant and the May Day festival successful. One of her activities is playing the console organ. Heading the dance department is Miss Constance Hardinge. She says she has no real native state, for she has lived and studied in New York and London. She is a graduate of the Chalif Normal School. Miss Hardinge, who has taught all kinds of dancing, considers dancing also her hobby. Each year she thrills us with the splendor and grace of Mardi Gras and the May Festival. Miss Jennie Lou Crockett, who heads the riding department this year, was graduated from Sullins in 1943 and came back last year to teach. Miss Crockett is a native of Wytheville, Virginia; like a true Virginian, she says her hobby is horses and more horses. Her friendly, cheerful personality and interest in her work and in the girls make her classes a joy to attend. At Left (top to bottom): Miss Liles, Miss Stowe, Mrs. Cooper.

Mrs. Newton has been very successful in making the Lodge a pleasant place for the girls who live there. They all agree she is a very able person in helping and guiding their lives at college. Mrs. Ernest L. Andrews of Nashville, Tennessee, is our hostess at the Hut. A graduate of Sullins, she has been back for several years helping to make our frequent visits to the Hut pleasant and enjoyable. Mrs. Andrews can always be counted on to furnish the girls with their needs and fulfill their wants cheerfully and willingly. Mrs. Etta R. Granberry is one of the supervisors in the kitchen. She keeps the invoices of the purchase of the food and sees that the Sullins girls have plenty cf the right things to eat. Whenever we meet her in the halls or on the campus, she has a friendly greeting and a cheerful word for us. Mrs. Maud W. Boggess ( ' Aunt Maud to us) is known chiefly on the Sullins campus for her management of Camp Sequoya. Her native state is Mississippi, where she attended the Southern Female College. Mrs. Boggess says that her main interest and pleasure is making Camp Sequoya a more pleasant place; she has not only done this but has made Sullins a more pleasant place.
