JAMES BEVER HORACE RAHSKOPF MRS. F. F. 'l'lTATC'l'lER , . V MARIORYE JOHNSON OB111' Gllaza Ahnianra Four splendid people have been thinking for us, working for us, hoping for us for 11. whole year. Eaeli oi' The 'four confidently expect great things of us. We must not disappoint lhem. The Senior Class of nineteen hundred twenty-two has been very fortunate in its class advisors. They are: Mr. Hover, Miss Earliart, Miss Druse and Doeior Miller. Just how sfrenuous their task has been, only they can know. Indeed, not until we are about to leave, does E1 full 1'ez1liza.tio11 of all they have done, of just how inueh of our load they have carried, eomes home to us. Each of lhe four is ai person of wide experience and growth. They have high hopes and ideals and broad professional vision. They stand for an constant raising and improving of our sehoolys staiiclards. Mr. Bever has the reputalion of being the busiest, kindest and niost patient man in school. Patient. he needs to be, with Mary Jones eternally insisting on twenty hours and Liza, Sehupp forever deinmid- ing grnclliatiiori with six credits short. His days are brimming over 14

Only he, who bears the brunt of it year in and year out, ean tell how exhaustive programming really is. Then there is the immense work ol! eheeking over the work of hundreds of seniors every year. How he keeps so valm and eool is a, mystery to all of'Us. Mr. Bever knows when to he conservative and xx hen to be radieal. HQ hgldg rigidly to the things that tend to keep up the mlorale and status of the insitutiong yet he is among the first to diseard old, out- worn ideas and aeeept the new. Mr. Beyer has been helpful in ear- rying out some of the si-hool's best measures. No one works quite so hard for us as Miss Earllart, head of the Training Sehool. ller time is filled wi1l1 diagnosing our eases and preseribing just the right bit olf teaelling in the 'ifraining School and the oily. Just now she is ineredibly busy hunting up positions for us and getting us placed, She doesn'l. forget us when we are goneg she keeps us in mind and 'Feels responsible for us. NVith a woman like Miss Earliart thinking about us and feeling responsible for us, we simply have to make good. Miss Druse is another of our well-wishers and benefaetors. She has been art eritie of the Klipsun for several years and mueh of the beauty and ilf'El'El.CiLiVCIlCSS of the yearly sueeess we eall our annual K D D . - . . 1 -.4 inspired by her. Miss Druse is ever ready to serve as judge of our eontests and, indeed ,to help and befriend us in every way. One man there is who does his work behind the scenes. That inan is Dr, Miller. Ile gnfeomplislles things so quietly and so well that few oi? us know they are done and most of us imagine that they just H.i1iI1J1N'll.H The wonders he has worked since he took ehztrge of the departinent of edueation in l9l7 are almost unbelievable. His work, thought and intluenee have changed and broadened the eurrieulum materially. He has left the eoneeption of the all-round teacher to die a natural death, and has introduced specialization thru the minor and major system. Ile is largely responsible for the introduction of standardized tests in the common branches. He worked hard for tl1e mental test and won it. He is constantly growing and insists on growth in the members of his department. Dr. Miller, in accomplishing these things, has done every one of us a personal serviee. His work is not spectacular. His ambition is to do as much good as he can without being detected in it. He has succeeded. Actually, though not oiTieia.l,l,y, Mr. Kolstad is at senior elass ad- visor. lle is the man who makes it his business to see that we enjoy ourselves at Norniul. No party, no pienie, no gathering of any kind, quite eoinuplete without him. lle, too, stands for a bigger and bet- ter sellooly with ever-elilnbing stai1darr,ls. l5
