t Mrs. Kramer—Her piano touches, tonical; her organ rolls, Miltonical. Mr. Larsen -A good listener; but when he speaks he says something worth-while, clever, and apt. Miss Larson Like Quintilian she thinks that the learned under- stand the reason for art; the unlearned the pleasure. Mrs. Leaka —Bags and bags of mail. Not fan letters; her cor- respondence comes from students who want credit for what they write. Miss Ludden—In dissecting life she finds that there is some- thing of the divine in everyone. Dr. Mantor—His aversions, war and the quasi-historical; his diversions, military forts and good screen comedies. Miss Morris—Not only imparts literary knowledge, but stimu- lates the pupil in its love and pursuit. Miss Nigh—She believes that the 5 R's and the 2 Y's should be given a place in every college program. Miss O'Connell—A woman nobly planned, to warn, to com- fort, and command. Dr. Olsen—He has found through research that vitamin M (Methods) will make A. O. Thomas School thrive. Mr. Olsen- He is almost as much at home in the pulpit, or in 1 the choir loft as he is before a carpenter's bench. Mr. Pate—Mathematically correct, and yet Cupid figures in his thinking. All his doubts are dispelled by logarithm computation. Miss Payne —Almost pagan in her worship of the speed-god Mercury. She thinks that shorthand is not prodigal of time - or space. - Miss Phillips— She reasons that it is in the learning of music that many youthful hearts learn to love the world. Mr. Powell—His education, Chicagoan; his interest, rural; his hobby, political. Mrs. Powell—Enthusiastic in seeing that parents and teachers work hand in hand to educate the young. ; Page 29

Miss Rae Her qualifications for library cataloguer are Bod- leian. Has an Aristotelian bent for classification. Miss Robinson—Human, humanistic, humanitarian. With a classical repose of spirits she asks coeds to be bonae puellae , and bonae studentae . Mr. Ryan—A Parent-Teacher propagandist; a purist; an ideal- ist; a columnist. In short, says Micawber, Indefatig- able. Miss Scott—Her most striking characteristic is her friendliness. Little first graders feel the warmth of it, and grown-ups the strength of it. Miss Skinner—She has a sense of discrimination. Shows taste in clothes, books, and pictures. Miss Smith—Her final reward, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me. Miss Smithey—Keeper of the biggest book in the college. In it she records systematically merits and demerits of all reg- istrants. Dr. Steinbach—He should be a member of the Royal Society of Oxford, for he deduces events by experimentation, not by self-evident truths. Mr. Stout—A humorist in a profound way. Believes that a man's soul has more to do with his behavior than his glands. Miss Stubbs—A dutiful daughter; a useful citizen; a faithful friend; a helpful supervisor. Miss Van Brussel—Young in spirit; small in body; big in heart; broad in attitude. Mr. Weaver—Gently pessimistic like Sir Thomas Browne. To him the world is a stage where the major characters are out-plaved by clowns, fools. Sir Tobys, murderers, and educators. Miss Whitney — Her movements flexuous and quiescent; her humor infectious and quintessent. Miss Williams—Believes in dictators . Without them she'd have no letters to take down perfectly and speedily in shorthand. Miss Wirt—She wears Minerva's segis. Her Baedeker—the seven cardinal principles of education. Dr. Zeiqel—Scholarly, flashing, sartorially correct. The youth who is diligent will find him an excellent friend and helper.
