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.

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. .

TRAINING SCHOOL verse and writing. She is eager to develop a new hobby in color photography. In 1933 Miss Van Arsdale received her master’s degree from Columbia. She came here as third grade critic in 1934. Another primary critic teacher of infinite experience is Miss Frances Dearborn who has at one time or another been affiliated with eight different universities. Her home is in southwestern Iowa and she received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees there. She delights in writing children's books— How the Indians Lived ’ and Daily Life Language Series are two of them. Her spare time is devoted to revising these. Sonny is her pride and joy, as well as her prime source of worry. He’s fond of books, too (he worries them, as a puppy will!!). Miss Dearborn enjoys travel. She had spent four years in California before taking a position here in 1938. Although she has covered nearly all of the U.S. except the Northwest, she has never been abroad. She prefers travel by train to automobile. Miss Dearborn has quite an extensive collection of old glass. Her major activity is bowling. Dr. Jayne has extended what he has called his hobby, visual education, into a field of professional attainment. He used material obtained through recordings of teachers conducting classes as his thesis for his degree of doctor of philosophy. These sound records were analyzed and Dr. Jayne has published articles on his results in the Journal of Experimental Education. He highly advocates the use of films in teaching. He has prepared a series of radio broadcasts on the subject— What of Our Movies? —in which he discusses the effect of films upon children and makes a review of pictures that can be used. Dr. Jayne’s work has distinguished him and our school as well. His only recreation during the past few years has been travel. He can give exciting reports of the Puget Sound region. Last summer he traveled in Canada and Spokane, Washington where he was born and lived for many years. Miss Leah Diehl is also interested in visual education of a kind—color photography and candid camera. She has enjoyed travel in the East and West but has never been in the South or abroad. She spends most of her summers teaching. She was in Stevens Point last summer and enjoyed it. For four or five years now she has been a Girl Scout Counselor. She likes hiking. Another hobby is collecting old glass and china. Miss Lydia Pfeiffer, fifth grade critic in the training school, is well known and well liked by all her student teachers. Her pleasant nature and her understanding have endeared her to her pupils. She received her bachelor of philosophy degree at the University of Wisconsin and her Master of Arts from Columbia. She has made a record for herself and for the school in the field of intermediate education. The enrollment in this department is small, but placement is excellent.
