1. Thorp M. Langley. B A.. M A.. 1922. Tho genial Registrar is a man of many duties, geography instructor, vodvil director. head of the Board of Publications. and an able toastmaster. He's there to see and holp get things done. Off duties he fishes at Isle Ro'yale and takes young daughter to hear the mater play tho violin in the Duluth Symphony. And did you know he's a master at cake decorating? (the sissy). Olfico force, left to right: Misses Mabel McKinnon, Gladys Bock. Joyce Williams Lorraino Schuster. One can readily see that this is a posed picture, for look how serious the girls aro! Entiroly different from the cheory greeting we receive from them whon asking for information, or to use the phone. ADMINISTRATION 3. Omer L. Loop. B A.. M.A.. Ph D.. 1919. Dean of Men and education instructor. Mr. Loop has been a political science teacher as woll as S.T.C.'s athletic coach. Hobbies—well, they say he has a wicked swing and loves the pill! A good example to prospective teachers of how to maintain discipline; through understanding and kindness. 4. Ellen M. Clark. A.B.. M A., 1913. Her position as Dean of Womon and one of the most popular instructors brings her close to a majority of the student body. As well as marveling at the continual interest of her classes, we respect and wonder at her executive ability—those teas which go off like clock-work, and the lovely Dormitory dances show evidence of the fact that sho never overlooks a detail. Moreover, she roads widoly and with a critical eye. and goes for plays and fine music. 5. Florence L. Waldo. B Ed.. 1924 Stunning in appearance, helpful and obliging in manner. Miss Walde as assistant librarian is absolutely tops. If you don't believe us. just ask some of the girls who work with her—but only if you have plenty of time to listen while they eulogize 6. Leonard W. Thorp. A.B., B.S.. 1933. Quiet Mr. Thorpe is none the less a gifted conversationalist who knows whereof he speaks. Besides being librarian and a voracious reader he's mightily interested in anthropology, contemporary literature and genealogy. Around the library he is noted for his professional looking wood-work. Notice: Dates after the names of instructors refer to the year that they were appointed to our faculty.

Dr. Jim Dan Hill, president of the college for the past seven years, has constantly strived to maintain standards in accordance with those set up by the leading institutions of the country. The result is that our school ranks with the best of accredited colleges in the nation. He has not only inspired scholastic attainments throughout his term, but has also carried out a beautifying the campus' program of which we are justly proud. In addition to this, he has found time to build up an enviable reputation as an historical author. Replacing Robert E. Curran, who resigned from the Board, Clarence L. Erlanson, Superior business man, is the new member of the State Board of Normal School Regents serving in the capacity of official representative of Superior State. Mr. Erlanson's appointment by Governor La Fol-lette became effective last February. Having been bom, reared, and educated in Superior, our new regent is well qualified to represent us. His two children are attending the McCaskill Junior High School, thus bringing him into direct conta- with the interests of the Demonstration School and the College. He will carry to the Board a long commercial and business experience combined with an appreciation of the College and an enthusiasm for its general welfare.

7be fyacmtu HUBERT C. ALMY, Ph B. M A.. 1917. A supervisor of budding pedagogues and teachers ol education. Mr. Almy guides students of the Grammar-Junlor-High Department, which he heads. However, he's up on not only the latest educational developments, but also tho newest fishing techniques. And we suspect that most of his spare time is spent perfecting them at Lake Minnesuing. CAROLINE W. BARBOUR, graduate of Chicago Kindergarten Inetitute. student of Columbia Teachers College and University of Chicago. 1902. Miss Barbour is known widely as an authority on child pedagogy. She's served as International Kindergarten president, as well as being on the Advisory Board of Associations for Childhood Education. GRACE E. BARNEY. A.B. M.A.. 1921. Mile Barney is a thorough daughter of France (though a native American). She's petite, belle, and full of friendly spirit. Ranks high as Instructor in the estimation of all. Studied in France and is anxiously awaiting for her next trip abroad. And do the Lambdas adore her! VOLNEY E. BRAMAN. Diploma Rockport Normal. Oswego State Normal School. 1912. Industrial Arts instructor, who. as all good carpenters do. knows exactly where his tools are even though he is known for his generosity in lending them out to students or faculty members who are in dire need of them. Is known for his humor and good nature. BESSIE A. BENTON. A B. M.A.. 1925. With her fine sense of humor. Mrs. Benton makes even Gorman interesting. Her students and the Three Arts girls agree that she's simply swell. She’s fun to talk to. but don’t let her get off on tho subject of Timmy (who is really the smartest cat we've seen, tho we don't tell her that). She can tell endless fascinating tales of her travels abroad and makes oven tho trivial entertaining. EDWARD L. BOLENDER. B S.. M.S., 1923. In spite of a heavy teaching load. Mr. Bolendor is a remarkable friend and counselor to tho biology majors in need of advice or a job. He is the custodian of the school's white rats and with them traces the inheritance or lack of inheritance.
