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
