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

JENNIE G. MARVIN. With gentle firmness of speech and manner; with kindness and jnstice: with thoughtfulness alike for pupil and teacher, beloved is Miss Marvin who rules the Grammar department. To he on Miss Marvin's Honor Roll is indeed a matter of no small moment. CECIL M. PALMER. Who is that energetic young woman that with her winning ways and pleasant voice holds sway over all her pupils? That is Miss Palmer,—Miss Marvin’s trusty helper; and well she deserves the confidence placed in her for she is conscientious in everything she docs. She is an enthusiastic lover of birds, and many a morning finds her awake as early as the birds she loves, studying their habits and listening to their matin song. She is best described in the lines:— M Twas her thinking of others made you think of her. ELEANOR HAMPTON. Miss Hampton came to us from Iliopolis at !he beginning of the year. Into her solicitous care are given the difficult problems of the Intermediate department. Miss Hampton is a sincere woman, entirely devoted to the interests of her pupils and the welfare of the school. KATHLYNE J. I.l UREY. Dear to the hearts of all the children is Miss Lihln-y. the teacher of the Second Primary Department. She is loved for her sunny disposition, her sympathy, her gentleness, and her strength. Always ready to lend a helping hand, she insnircs us to better work. I etter deeds, and ln-tter lives. In her prestncc. cares and troubles seem to vanish and contentment and peace come in their stead. ELIZABETH STEVENS. Gentle and patient but firm with little folks. She is a help to all who seek her. You may know she “approves when you see her face light up with that little twinkle in her bright brown eyes. Mi's Stevens is respected by all and loved by tH se who know her. FAYE HENLEY. An earnest, loving worker whose only goal is to direct little hearts and minds along paths which only the noble tread. Each day she watches over all. turns each act into the channel of truth, and sets forth an example of noblest character and sweetest modesty. CLARA MARVIN. Miss Marvin, the private secretary of the President, holds sway over us all. Even the professors must obey her summons. She has the power to interrupt their recitations and call students from their classes. She guards our records faithfully, but what student does not envy her this power before the spelling and mental arithmetic standings are posted. She knows all our successes, as well as our failures, and could tell our tales of woe. One who can keep such important matters secret is admired by us all. LUCY A. POTTER. There is a member of our Faculty who has so many good characteristics that it is hard to enumerate them. Each year as The Qiiver appears many tales are told of her sweet disposition, of her pleasant smile and obliging manner, but the writer is yet to come who can do justice to— Miss Potter.
