MISS FAITH TALCOTT To the student body of the Weaver High School, the name Miss Faith Talcott brings at once to the mind a dear friend, an intimate adviser — indeed, a lady endowed with a noble characteristic — sympathetic understanding. Miss Talcott typifies that sort of individual whose work con stitutes the most important function in lfe. That her duties are always well performed can be seen by the very efficient way in which she handles and solves the various problems of her “Children.” She can always find an answer to the problems of youth — and why not? A woman of her intellect and experience is very well equipped to answer such questions. It can be said, and truly, that all students graduating from Weaver will inevitably carry with them the memory of a lady, endowed with a helpful attitude, who guided them through those days when every little incident meant so much, when every bit of advice proved such a vital factor in later life.

MISS HARRISON Just a few short months ago, there came to Weaver a new and interesting personality. It was with curiosity and eagerness that we anticipated the arrival from London, England, of Miss Kathleen Harrison. Through the medium of the Foreign Exchange Department of the English Speaking Union she replaced Miss Hood on our faculty while Miss Hood assumed her duties in London. At the end of the term she expects to return to England, but only after an extensive tour of the United States. A native of London, Miss Harrison was educated at Girton College, Cambridge, and in Switzerland. For a time she was engaged in settlement work in London. Previous to her trip to America, she taught in St. Paul’s Girls’ School, one of the largest private schools in London. She has found Weaver very different from English schools in nearly every respect, but has adapted herself admirably. Possessing all the qualities of a good teacher — intelligence, good humor, co-operation, and friendliness — she has won many friends, both in the faculty and in the student body. We wish her continued success in the future, and hope that when she returns to England, she may take away pleasant memories of Weaver High School. I 23 I
