Faculty We, too, were a nlout generation . Betel with employment scarcity, Our niches filled. To our consternation We seemed a superfluity: Became chary of showing determination. Because of certain failure. You knew our need: Showed us wonder in living organisms; freed Our minds to new depths of appreciation Of Keats—beauty Imer—and Shelley; I t us glimpse the surge of nations Fighting upward, and the rich, red embroideries Of the Renaissance. You gave ivory towers Of replenishment, to which, in hours Of turmoil, we could retire, wanting peace, And emerge, refreshed—defiant.

 ! Y I I I Rest Room The Girls’ Rest Room was set aside by President Schofield as a haven to which the women of the school could retire for relaxation or study. Many of the articles that lend cheer to the room have been bought by charging each girl in school a nominal fee each semester. The Rest Room Committee keeps the room in good order and encourages the girls to use it freely. The Library The Library of the school is well equipped. It contains adequate material for reading on every subject offered in the curriculum. The study center of the school, it is always teeming with industry. The librarians. Miss Buchholz, Mrs. Thompson, and Miss Marion Miller, are kept busy supplying material and information to the students. Several student N. Y.A. workers are also designated to help in the large amount of work that the library entails. Geography Room The Geography Room is one of the most completely equipped and attractive classrooms of the college. The class shown here is Mr. Simpson’s Physiography class, the members of which arc being taken on a imaginary trip abroad.
