MR. W. R. GAWTHROP A strict disciplinarian and exacting instructor in the classroom. Mr. Gawthrop is possessed of a genial and most sociable mood elsewhere on the campus. In his second year at Ursinus. affiliating himself with several of the extracurricular activities, he has added to himself the respect of the student body. As coach of Schaffs anniversary play this year. Mr. Gaw throp's work has resulted in the staging of one of the society's greatest successes -the production of Sherwood.'’ Aside from his other duties as instructor of chemistry and physics. Mr. Gawthrop finds time to pursue courses in the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School and is the holder of a valuable scholarship there. When on the campus we know him best as another of the faculty tennis fiends, a soccer enthusiast and a golf devotee. lie huilJeJ heller than he netD. MR. VEO F. SMALL Monsieur Small is our professor of French. His classes, always interesting, arc given new-life this year because of his visit to France during the past summer. While in France. Prof. Small had special privileges in travel and instruction because he was awarded the Jusser-and Travelling Fellowship, for study and travel in France, by the University of Pennsylvania. His favorite recreations arc romping with La Petite Mademoiselle and playing tennis, in which sport he excels. The value of Prof. Small to Ursinus may be judged by his size rather than by his name.

MR. PAUL K. EDWARDS I lave you heard of the seven wonders of Ursinus? Here we have the exponent of the seventh wonder-’ Prof. I-Ulwards. guardian of the newly acquired but flourishing E. and B. A. Group. Coming to Ursinus only last September, he has already made many friends here. A college campus seems to be his natural environment since he is the son of President Edwards, of Earlham College, in Indiana. As an important addition to the faculty, to our list of tennis fiends and. as the possessor of a fine baritone voice. Prof. Edwards should prove an asset in many phases of activities at Ursinus. Truth hath a quiet breast. MR. MARTIN W. WITMER It is true, indeed, that life is a battle where, in most cases, the fittest survive. This is shown and proved in composition classes taught by Prof. Witmcr. Any one who enters his classes unprepared or expecting to take a nap. ' belongs to the class of students who do not survive as far as grades arc concerned. But this shows the efficiency and accuracy of his teaching and the work he expects to get from the students. Yet this rather stern man. in the classroom, possesses one of the cheeriest smiles and dispositions to be found. Thus we think of Mr. Witmer as a man who works when he works but who finds time to enter our social life, who boosts the College with 'Sinus pep. who becomes an adviser in “Y and Sunday School and who demands our sincere friendship. Be earnest, life's a ivarfarc.

MISS Cl.AKA E. WALDRON No better quotation could we find, nor one more suitable, than this one which she herself has chosen as the motto to preside over her studio. For. truly, she speaks to us many times, both with her own melodies and in the renditions of musical compositions which her pupils give us. Her ability in interpreting the magic of the staff is truly artistic, but no less artistic is her competence in instructing Ursinus' would-be Paderewskis; for that is where she really shines. Aside from being an able instructress, she presides over the largest girls' dormitory as capably as she docs over the music department and Shreinerites arc proud to call her their own. Melody is the absolute language in which the musician speaks to every heart.'' MISS MADELINE D. ROE Miss Roe is director of physical training and instructor in public speaking for young women, according to the Ursinus Bulletin. But. to us. she is the athletic coach who has built up strong and successful teams in hockey and basketball. Her gym exhibitions and May Day Dances speak for her success as a physical director. And from behind closed doors, wild ravings, in the voices of girls but the language of authors, reveal the diligence, as a result of pressure with which her expression students prepare their assignments. Miss Roe is also principal of the Maples” and more than that, she is a friend to all the girls, aiding and encouraging them in both their curricular and extra-curricular activities. Her step is music and her voice is song.
