REGENT DELZELL Loyalty and co-operation among students and faculty members are priceless assets for any educational institution. They are the foundation of what we know as school spirit. They are the true measure of the virility of a school and a guaranty that its vital mission of making better citizens is being advanced. It has been my observation during my relatively short period of service as local regent that Central State Teachers College is unusually fortunate in its school spirit. This is especially noteworthy in view of handicaps with which it has been confronted due to reduced budgets for supplies and teachers' salaries and increased enrollment. These handicaps have been assumed in a spirit of cheerfulness and understanding by students and teachers alike, proving there are no 'quitters'' at Central State. That Central State is more interested in solving its problems by constructive action than in complaining about them, that it is committed to a policy of sound progress against all obstacles is an inspiring tribute to the institution. It is, by the same token, eloquent of the devoted and intelligent leadership accorded the school by its new president, E. T. Smith, who came up from the ranks to climax many years of distinguished service as a teacher with administrative qualities destined to carry the institution to new heights of achievement. .

minuittation PRESIDENT SMITH In 1909, Mr. E. T. Smith began teaching in the History Department of the Stevens Point Normal School. He has successfully completed thirty years in that field; he has seen the normal school as a comparatively small school grow and progress and broaden out into the college it is today—one of the leading teachers’ colleges in Wisconsin with an expansive scope of absorbing courses and a large activity program. In the spring of 1939 he became acting president at the withdrawal of President Philip A. Falk. The following fall term, which marks this school year, initiated him as president of our college, a place he well deserves for his meritorious activity in making this school what it is. The veteran faculty member up to his appointment, he is remembered and appreciated by his classes, his colleagues, and his superiors for his infinite wisdom, his philosophy, his kindness, understanding, and wit. A man whose tracks will be printed in the sands of Time. Pag« 11 FROSH BEAR DOWN ON US... THE USUAL GREEN VARIETY

JUNIOR H. S. Mr. Herrick, the congenial head of the Mary J. Bradford Training School, desires to extend the activities of the training school by sending teachers outside to other schools for part of their practice, and at present he is working for a more gradual introduction of the student to the training school. It is not surprising, then, to find that for forty years his hobby and life interest has been the helping of young people. He is also interested in all outdoor sports and spends much of his time at Long Lake. He isn't reluctant either to admit he once caught an eleven pound pike. He has traveled extensively throughout the West. Mr. Pierce, the jovial principal of the J.H.S. has made a hobby of summer schools. He’s now completed his eighteenth summer. He finds them an invigorating experience in that they enable him to meet and confer with prominent men of the country. He likes all outdoor sports, but calls himself a fisher'' rather than a fisherman. He is striving for purposeful activity in the junior high school. Miss Loomer is a mistress-of-all-trades. She has been a switchboard operator, a faculty secretary, a waitress,- she has preached sermons, picked cherries, and done nursing during the World War. At the University of Wisconsin she started the record of the U. Gold Star Boys which now hangs in the Memorial Building. Her teaching has included Latin, English, French, dramatics, history, guidance, library, and music. Through her varied experiences she hopes to aid the student teachers with their problems. She plans to center her work in the social studies, and work out a course more beneficial to students. Mrs. Cutnaw is a new addition to the training school. She hails from Wisconsin originally but taught for ten years in North Dakota before going to Madison this last year. She has made two very thorough trips to Europe and hopes to go again with her two children. Her traveling is spontaneous—she gets that feeling and picks up and goes. She likes to cook, tell fortunes, and write children's stories. At present she is writing a workbook in English essentials. She has planned a program of remedial reading, whereby the voices of pupils will be recorded to analyze their speech and reading defects. We are indeed fortunate in having one who is so thoroughly interested in everyone and every- Miss Adda Tobias took leave of absence in 1930-1931 to get her master's degree at Columbia. She has been first grade critic since 1926. She is an exponent of nature study believing it should be a part of every schoolroom activity. She lives with her mother and enjoys cooking; each new recipe is used as an experiment on her friends. She still has many, many friends—so she must be a good cook. Miss Tobias has written and published several phonics and reading workbooks. Miss Gladys Van Arsdale is quite unusual in her ability to get creative work from her pupils. Perhaps her deep interest in poetry has helped her to gain this objective. She is an ardent collector of choice bits of thing—so amiable, optimistic, understanding, and truly modern.
