FRANK K. MITCHELL. Frank E. Mitchell, intended hy nature to he a philosopher and inventor; forced hy circumstances to teach geography in the Oshkosh Normal School. His wit is uncqualcd. his ability to tell stories would make him famous were he to put them in l»ook form. The students say. “Mitchell’s ail right, isn't he? Clot so much out of the quarter's work! A lot of geography, a lot of geology, a lot of psychology, a lot of physics,—all l ound together by common sense.” KATHERINE S. Al.VORD. Some day when you are wandering thru the corridors of the third Hour you may accidentally spy a door laln-led, “History. If you should, do, not fail to enter, for you will find one who will welcome you cordially. This i Miss Katherine S. Alvord. associate in History and Latin. She is an enthusiast. No one can enter her classes without l cing inspired by her to labor for higher goals. ELLA G. PAR M RLE. One of the best friends of the students is our librarian. No one seeing the students lined up at the library door, anxious to say good morning before their eight o’clock class can doubt this. In the evening it i-» just the same,—the librarian is the last one to whom we say good night. Nov who can justly claim to be more popular than Miss Pannele? AUGUSTUS W. TRETTIEN. As a man’s principles, so the man; and as a man. so his works! We see many men who preach the doctrine, but their words fall upon our ears only a% so many empty syllables simply because their lives do not bear out their words. To have strong principles and live up to them is to be a man. Mr. Trettien is not only this but he combines with it the rare gift of imparting to others the desire to be like him. which power is the gift of the teacher. MARY I. MeFADDEN. Every time I pass her door and see her at her desk and catch her friendly smile I think:— Strong and always true and kind, A better friend you could not find. Practice teachers truly love her And other students roirtd her hover. While with cheery smile and kindly word. All their trials and troubles arc heard. In her beautiful dark brown eyes A look of sympathy lies. L. L. SUMMERS. Mr. Summers believes that a teacher to be worthy the name, should be a doer as well as a thinker. How well lie exemplifies this in his daily routine. All his work is practical, progressive, and inspiring, lie is a man exactly fitted to his chosen work—full of energy and manual ability and still well balanced by his sound pedagogical views. In order to appreciate fully his patience and kindly spirit, one has to spend but a few periods of work under his direction. WALTER F. COOLIIIGK. Where would athletics lie, but for Mr. Coolidgc? The one who is constantly planning means whereby this phase of school work may not be financially wrecked. What would Income of our Iniys, were it not for this man. their adviser and their spur? No amount of work too much. No effort too great. To help the athletes accomplish What they undertake. Page nineteen

GRACH L SHEPARDSON. One of the pleasant reminiscences of Normal days will Ik the time we spent in the gymnasium with our physical instructor. Miss Shepardson, a lady fair, who gently hut firmly rules. Some say he is jolly, some she's a peach. and all say that she has a bright, cheerful word for every one. With a face that never bears the faintest semblance of a frown, she gives command. Patience and kindness our affections win. For her, the gracious ruler of ottr gym. MAURICE H. SMALL. Mr. Small, study yourself, take an introspective view, and you will see a person always doing something for others. Now you arc taking the baby for an airing, or you are helping the worthy (•'acuity to roll up a score at basketball: again you are poring over some program, or cheering a homesick heart, or coaching a debating team,—always a helpful friend. ANNIE L. ROONEY. Annie Rooney, whose name has been made immortal in song, will Ik remembered for her benevolent -spirit and never-failing wit. The Sophomores laud her good work and cheerful demeanor when they return from her classes in composit ion. The Juniors praise her ready assistance on essays and declamations. A happy combination of name and nature. ELSIE L. BOWMAN. Besides Mis . Bowman’s excellent ability along the art line, she has other qualities that possibly are appreciated more by those who are not so fortunate as to have work in her classes. In the short time that she has been here, she has won many friends. When passing down the corridors laden with hooks and worrying over some dreaded examination, we by chance met Miss Bowman and received one of her pleasant smiles and a nod, all our cares for the moment scented to vanish; her happy disposition gave us hope and a desire to put forth our In-st efforts. GRACE R. DARLING. This is Mrs. Darling, with whom we delve among the relics of the past; who. because of her own deep interest, inspire-, in ys an interest in the events of History. Under her direction the study of History becomes a living, animated subject. A we first enter her classes, we begin the customary cramming of facts, but we soon learn what History should mean, and we find ourselves truly enjoying the work. She demands the best one is capable of doing, hut withal she is kind and generous. CARRIE BARDEN. Miss Barden's work consists of conducting classes in Composition and Library Readings, and taking charge of half the Junior Rhetoricals. There is a small teacher named Barden, With no cause to beg any one’s pardon: S9 dainty and neat. So small and so sweet. You ne'er can find one like Miss Barden. MAUDE SHAM EL. A slight figure, quick, bright, blue eyes; a fair, firm face: a pretty head covered with soft golden hair; a clear voice. That's Miss Shame!. Cheerful always, fond of assisting everybody; patient; gentle; sought out by many a disheartened practice teacher; considerate of everybody; loved by all. That's Miss Sliamei. Page tiveiiiy-one
