• MtSS Fisher Gymnastics Margaret Ellen Fisher came to the Normal this year from Massachusetts. Site is a graduate of tlie Boston High School and Normal School of Gymnastics, besides taking a course in Physics and Chemistry in the Institute of Technology. From 1904-1907 she was assistant instructor in Physical Training in the Bridgewater (Mass.) State Normal School. For one so young, we consider her achievements quite remarkable, namely,—within this short school year she has examined the hearts of all the boys, and the eyes and brains of all the girls. The results are not published. Miss Ewing Assistant in Drauring Constance Lee Ewing came to the Oshkosh Normal last fall. She was educated in the public schools of I .os Angeles, and attended the Normal school there. In 1903. she graduated from Pratt Institute. Before coming to Oshkosh, she taught at Brownell Hall. Omaha, Neb. Strange to say (?), Miss Ewing would have ofttimes been mistaken for a student save for a certain unmistakable dignity which marks the brows of our worthy faculty, and which she so faultlessly carries. Miss Mark History Elvira E. Mark was educated in Illinois, graduating from the State Normal and University, and her record boasts of wide experience in teaching. Shortly before coming here ••lie was instructor in the Albion Normal School of Idaho. If our impressions are mutual. Miss Mark will desire to continue another year with us. Mr. McMillan Algebra Walter MacMillan, commonly called ‘'Pete by the student body, is experiencing a year of Normal life as instructor in Algebra. He was educated in the Illinois University and Monmouth College. Together with his college airs, and the fact that he is the only unmarried man in our faculty, lie has become the center of attraction among the girls. Miss Cun (Iiff Vocal Music Hannah B. CunditT joined the ranks of our illustrious instructors in February, taking the place of Barbara C. Moore in the Musical department ’ Her first studying was done in Detroit, later in Chicago, New Vork. and London, Ontario. After teaching music for several years in the public schools, she took up children’s operatic work, which carried her to California. Nebraska. Minnesota. Missouri, and Canada. Previous to coming to Oshkosh she had charge of the largest Catholic choir in Madison for two years, and last year was soloist in the Congregational choir of that city. Though we sorely feel the loss of Miss Moore, we thoroughly appreciate and enjoy the artistic work done by Miss CundifT. but we are not yet able to follow her through the mazes of her wondrous genius, by which those “full, round tones” arc produced. Miss Breitkreutz Clerk Our new clerk is one of those good-natured, helpful, and pleasant individuals who always make themselves welcome wherever they go. Whether on an excursion, in the office, or wherever she may be. she is always right there. The council has found that to send a boy to the office to study is no longer a punishment. Many are taking lessons in stenography watching the clicking keys of the typewriter ( ?). We certainly are fortunate in our new clerk Miss Beye Composition Marion Beye, a graduate of Smith College, is the last to have been added to our list of instructors, haying come here at the beginning of the spring quarter to fill the position left vacant by the illness of Miss Barden. She was born in Chicago, and made her home there for many years. She has taught in the Port Huron High School and the I-a Salle-Peru Township High School. 23

MiSS Swart Supervisor of Practice Some time during our school course we all come under the supervision of Miss Rose C. Swart. Usually it is with many misgivings and trembling of the knees that we await our first consultation, but we soon feel that in her we have a valuable friend as well as instructor. She began teaching at the age of fifteen, and gradually won her way until in 1871 she became a teacher in the Primary department of this school, and later filled the position of supervisor of practice, which she still holds. Miss Swart holds high rank as an educator in this state. Miss Marvin Grammar Department Jennie E. Marvin is a native of Wisconsin, receiving her education in its schools. She was assistant and then principal of the Preparatory department of our school when that was yet a part of the Normal proper, and later took up the position she now holds, judging from the reports of the practice teachers, the way of the grammar grades is not paved with roses. Miss Stevens Critic. Primary Grades Elizabeth Stevens came from Bridgeport. Conn. She received her early education there, graduating from the High School and the Teachers' Training School; later she took a post graduate course at the Potsdam Normal in New York. She taught in the East before coming to Oshkosh in 1902. Within her domain, the First Primary department, precision and order reign supreme. Woe to the practice teacher who fails to heed it. Miss Henley Director of Kindergarten Faye Henley was born in Wabash. Indiana. She graduated from the Hailmann Training School for Kindergarten Teachers at La Porte. Indiana, and did additional work at Columbia University. She taught primary grades at I-a Porte, and did kindergarten work at Attica, Indiana, and Newark. New Jersey, before coming to Oshkosh. The love of our little kindergartners testifies of the esteem in which she is held in our school. Miss Snyder Assistant in Grammar Grades Grace Snyder holds the position of assistant in the Grammar grades. Born in New York, she graduated from the Oswego Normal school and took up a Critic course there. She has taught in New York and New Jersey. Before coming here in 1906. she was principal in the Grammar department of the State Normal School at Tempe, Arizona. Miss Snyder is much interested in athletics, and, altho she did not appear in the Faculty-Senior basketball game, it is rumored that she practiced faithfully, and became a very efficient center. MiSS Rich Critic, Second Primary. Mary E. Rich‘ has survived two years of teaching in the Oshkosh Normal.” Bom in Oshkosh, she graduated from the advanced course of this school in 1900. Well may Oshkosh boast of her school if her other graduates are as much beloved by their pupils as is Miss Rich. After finishing her course here, she continued her study in the Teachers’ College of Columbia University. She taught in the Normal School at Hampton, Ya., and at Winona. Minn., before coining here in 1905. MtSS O 'Keefe Supervisor of Intermediate Department Miss Mary O’Keefe was born in Ripon, and attended the Ripon Preparatory School. In 1904. she graduated from the Oshkosh Normal. She taught eighth grade work in Appleton, and later was principal of the Brayton School in Madison. This is Miss O’Keefe's first year as instructor in the Normal and she has already won the good will of all who have come in contact with her. Miss Gunther Assistant Supervisor of Practice Emma H. Gunther is a graduate of the Fredonia Normal School, and did special work at Columbia University. She has had considerable experience in teaching, and previous to coming here, she was principal of the Intermediate department in the State Normal at Gene-seo, N. Y. It is said that those who take practice under Miss Gunther are wont to consider themselves efficient teachers—until the end of the term. For further information, “look on my bulletin board.” , MiSS Walker Assistant Supervisor of Practice Ellis Walker, a native of Wisconsin, received her education at the Oshkosh Normal and at the University of Wisconsin. She has taught in Fond du Lac, Indianapolis, and New York City. She came to Oshkosh Normal this year as assistant supervisor of practice “Should you her acquaintance wish to make In very, very short order. Just leave ajar her cupboard door And then make haste for the corridor.
