ROSE C. SWART. In order to know tlu- extent of Miss Swart's work mid influence, one must take a practice class under Iter supervision. I'hcn and then only, will the full realization of what Miss Swart has done for the school he impressed upon him. In fact five minutes’ consultation with her will give the most discouraged practice teacher an inspiration for a whole week's work. Our supervisor is known and respected not only within the Normal hut throughout the country, and prowl is the student who goes forth with Miss Swart's recommendation as a teacher. Page thirteen

EMILY 1 WEBSTER. Think of her, whom you will find in the Mathematics classroom at almost any hour helping some class, her whose warm heart goes out to every student, her who trains to “accuracy and rapidity —that is Miss Webster. Our interests are her interests at all times. As we know and appreciate her. there come genuine admiration and love for her. LYDON W. BRIGGS. In Mr. Briggs we find a true friend and adviser. To him we turn in our sadder hours for practical, cheering advice, and to him we look in our gayer moods as an indulgent believer in good, wholesome amusements. His wide experience in the teaching profession makes his word of recognized value not only in our school but thruout a large portion of our state. His friendship is therefore valuable while we are in school and doubly so when we are ready to go forth in search of a position. HARRIET E. CLARK. To pursue a forgetful Sophomore who failed to present a declamation; to endure untold suffering while an aspiring Junior stumbles thru A Plea for Cuba.” to help a dignified Senior adapt a weighty lecture to the minds of inferior lower classmen,- these are a few of the things which Miss Clark must do in one day. But in spite of it all her bright face and active manner make the time s|K-nt in her company thoroly delightful. MARY E. APTHORP. | ew of the students not pursuing the Latin course realize what a witty, altogether delightful individual presides at the desk in the Latin room. To those blessed by her instruction the recitation hour—even tho it Ik? in dreaded prose—is one to be looked forward to Minionl the day. Her present regret is that a cat instead of a goddess docs not guard her door. Until the feline can be provided there are a hundred Junior girls ready to protect Miss Apthorp from all hann. HARRIET CECIL MAGEE. An artist who works because the spirit is in her—and she cannot he silent if she would. This earnestness of purpose and spirit of optimism are the distinctive characteristics which make Miss Magee what she is—an uplifting |xnvcr. As her voice directs us to a study and appreciation of nature, so her whole life leads us to a keener and broader insight of the mysteries of life. WALTER C. HEWITT. The W(itty) C(ourageous) II (umorist) of the Faculty, who teaches the classes in School Management. Geometry, Spelling. Mental Arithmetic. Trigonometry. Physical Geography. Algebra, and any other subject that is left, holds first place in the hearts of the students. His unrivaled enthusiasm in either work or play makes a success of anything he undertakes, as is evidenced in the high standard of the rural schools ami his phenomenal golf scores. And, as some one has said: Mr. Hewitt is the lxrst yet; he can’t he heat. JOSEPHINE 11EXDERSON. It is truly marvelous how great the influence upon those who come under the power of this quiet, dignified woman and friend. Who can ever fail to cxjwricncc a fervent desire to he “up ami doing after spending forty minutes in a Rhetoric class under her inspiring: influence? She is a helper that we all appreciate more and more as we grow better acquainted with her. and when we have finished our course in Rhetoric we only wfM that we could take more of our studies under Miss Henderson.
