10 SCARLET A N D GRAY MR. W. J. GARDNER Principal DePauw University We are fortunate in having as our principal a man who believes in treat¬ ing each pupil justly. To all reasonable requests he grants his permission and at all times is a very jovial personage. At our parties he has shown himself to be ready for a good time, especially when there is an occasion to blow horns or to serve refreshments. MISS MILDRED JESSUP English University of Southern California Miss Jessup is one of our most capable teachers, and if in after years we stutter, instead of expressing our thoughts clear¬ ly and forcibly, the fault will not be hers. As chief custodian of the Library, and as a session room teacher, many of us can testify that she is right there with the goods. She is also chairman of the Con- vo Committee and is largely responsible for the many fine programs which we have enjoyed. MISS FRANCES G. McMAHON Mathematics Purdue University Yes, it is Miss McMahon who comes smiling to school, with a cheery greet¬ ing for everyone she knows. Sometimes in school we pass one another by with never a kind glance or thoughtful word— not so with Miss McMahon. She makes us feel that she is more than a teacher to us; she understands our faults and loves us anyway; she clears up darkness and doubt in these troubled heads of ours—now you know why she is so pop¬ ular. MISS COULTER Latin Indiana University Miss Coulter has been with us only since September, but already has won the sincere friendship of her pupils. She has gained the distinction of being chosen chief faculty advisor for the Sun¬ shine Society and is responsible for an influx of new ideas. We are mighty glad Miss Coulter chose West LaFayette as her stopping place, and only hope she will remain with us.
