The teachers of Music with faces asmile Make us forget our hard work for awhile. With patience and care they teach us the way All great people learn how to sing and play. Their ability to teach every pupil is shown When in Chapel these pupils make themselves known. Mr. Solomon, who is always cheerful, Can keep anyone from feeling fearful. In class he laughs and talks and jokes, That's why we like him more than most folks. He goes to the Training School sometimes to stay, Then children smile and keep workin' away. And he laughs with them, sings with them, And tells stories true i So they wish they'd been born a supervisor, too. Miss james, a fine instructor in voice, lVe know is not here altogether by choice. lt's no wonder to some that she is so cross For the people she teaches all need a boss. Every little movement that's made she sees, And soon is heard, l-et's have quiet please. Though she. in her way, is very stern, She teaches so that all may learn. 11 illluair Miss Hinsdell, the little, the quiet, the meek, Sits at the piano from week to week. She teaches the girls and boys how to play, And on her face there's a smile every day. VVith a happy heart and a willing hand, She does for everyone what she can. And one never does his duty shirk, For this kind of teacher all like to work. Mrs. Newkirk, new in faculty, ls as brilliant as rays of the sun on the sea. Her work, which expresses most of all feeling, Is, to all who have heard her, very appealing. l1Vhen in Chapel for us she renders a selection In us, she deepens for herself our affection. And we hope that she will among us remain So we may hear her again and again. Mr. Meyer, the teacher of stringed instruments grand Has for us excellent programmes planned. He has given to us much pleasure and amusement And this should be to all an inducement, For he arouses in us that great ambition To someday become a famous musician. His work, being such, pleases all we know, Here's hoping it e'er will remain just so. To you some knowledge of our teachers is given, To be nearly like them all have striven, This Music Department is grandest yet, If you've had work in it, you'll ne'er it forget. Our rank over all other schools we know Especially in Music you'll find this is so. You may search the Normals of Grand Old Mizzoup .-Xnd you'll Find for yourself that these statements are true. 5 JJ ,

Recorded too, we hear them say, On page upon page, day after day. The teachers in science are six in a line- To pass us much knowledge in a very short time, They prepare us for teachers of science they say, So we can help others to climb some day. Svrivnrr Biology is taught in Room 1-l. Mr. Gantz is the teacher, he reigns supreme. There's one thing to remember, he says every day, That's to keep those jaws closed and hear what I say In Room D, Prof. Morrow holds sway. There all students a visit should pay. Now come on, he says, when we say, 1 don't know He's willing to help both the quick and the slow. A O In ROOIU 21, MF- VV-2lt0fS IS SCCY1. l In Room 11, the teachers are two.

He is telling of electricity, light, and of sound, He pokes jokes at girls But ne'er asks answers from the students around. And notebooks at boys And corn throwing contests are some of his joys. sei. se QT n m m P 1' r i at I ' I-IE. Commercial Department of this school was organized in the fall of l909 with Prof. Charles E. Staehling Q of Chicago University, in charge. In the fall of I9l l Professor Staehling resigned to accept a similar posi- tion in the High School of St. Paul, Minn., and Prof. E. Magee, a graduate of one of the Universities of the East, was electedto succeed Professor Staehling. Professor Magee remained one year, and Prof. I-I. G. Ellis, a graduate of Cedar Rapids Business College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and a student of Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, took charge of the department at the beginning of the fall term of l9l3. One slight change has been made in the arrangement of the work for undergraduates, in that they must have Junior standing before they can take any of the Commercial subjects, with the exception of Penmanship. Pen- manship is a very popular subject, judging from the number who are enrolled in this class each term. Mr. Ellis. while proficient in all the Commercial branches, excels in Penmanship. The other teachers of the school co- operate in securing very gratifying results. The department is becoming more popular as time goes on, and the progress will be more evident as voca- tional training expands. The life and success of this department is assured since the I-Iigh Schools thruout the country are demanding efficient commercial teachers. There are several well-trained students who will be pre- pared to fill these positions next fall. The department has for its motto thoroness and perfection based upon a well-balanced and broad education. 20 Q21
