The Faculty Personal and Otherwise t t Conducting a teachers college without a laboratory school would be nothing less than mere sham. It would be on a par with taking swimming lessons by correspondence; on a par with learning to fly an airplane by studying the picture of die mechanism. The A. O. Thomas Elementary School and the A. O. Thomas Junior and Senior High Schools compose the laboratory school of the Kearney State Teachers College. One could not exist without the other. At the head of this laboratory school is Dr. Hans C. Olsen, Nebraska’s friend of education, and the friend of every educational neophyte. Scholarly, alert, progressive Dr. Olsen, surrounded by highly trained co-workers and assistants, directs the training of the men and women who come to Kearney to prepare for the teaching profession. The present high standard in the laboratory school has been attained by Dr. Olsen during his nine years of intelligent leadership. The mark of progress of Kearney State Teachers College shows itself no where more pronouncedly than in the laboratory school; hence the dedication of this annual to Dr. Olsen is most fitting. Dr. Olsen took his doctorate at Columbia. A. E. Burke is the one man on the college faculty who, throughout his seven years of pro- gressive work as principal of the A. O, Thomas High School, has never allowed his endless hours or the constant demands for his time to dwarf his interest in boys and girls, Art” is every pupil’s friend, and every student’s trusted adviser. He may frequently remind his listener of his Hoosier training, but should he forget this little display of pride, the listener would soon note the Hoosier quality, the Hoosier characteristics. The busiest man on the campus, the contact man between college and town, Mr. Burke always takes his time for his Chesterfields, his coffee and hamburger. He received his bachelor’s and his master’s de- gree from Indiana University. As one might expect, Helen Kennedy, assistant principal of the A. O. Thomas High School, is interested in poetry. Every student teacher in the English department of the high school dedicates herself or himself To Helen,” and emerges from the experience a better teacher of English. For six years she has been training teachers of English, and guiding the destiny of the reading experiences of the high school boys and girls. She has studied in Indiana State Teachers College, the University of Chicago, and the University of Iowa, from which she has her master’s degree. Ask the boys of A. O, Thomas High School who guides their athletic destiny and they will tell you Glenn W. Durflinger, alias Daddy.” Educated at the Colorado State Teachers College, Mr. Durflingcr has been supervising the teaching of mathematics in the A, O. Thomas High School for four years. He has served on several important college committees, and is recognized as being a tireless, progressive worker. Joining the faculty of supervisors two years ago, Florin Carlton Williams, another Hoosier, soon was recognized as the heavy weight” among the critics. He has no hobbies, no pastimes, no diversions; he is equally at home among scientists, students of the classics, and school administrators. At present, how- ever, he contents himself with the supervision of the teaching of general science and Latin. He has his master’s degree from Indiana University. A graduate student of the National University of Mexico, with graduate work at the University of Colorado, and a master’s degree from the Colorado State Teachers College, Belle Gleasnian supervises the French and Spanish classes in the A. O. Thomas High School, and the eighth grade English in the Junior High School. She has been at Kearney State Teachers College for six years. Elda Stubbs, supervisor of grades seven and eight, in the Junior High School, has been on the faculty for five years. During the summer session at Kearney, she teaches courses in geography. Vernette Moore, supervisor of grade six, has her degree from the University of Iowa, and has been on the faculty for two years. Anna Van
