When we see Miss Vickery we start cor- recting our grammar and envying her her Aus- tin. Mixed in with grammar, journalism and poetry is a subtle humor which tests your wit as thoroughly as her exams do your knowledge. If you think that English professors have naught to do but read all day, you don’t know Miss Burton. Her name is on countless com- mittees and her lectures cover such wide areas that they assume the aspects of a travelogue. Interesting things always seem to happen to Miss Burton, and if they don’t come to her she runs out to find them, after which we go to her class for some vicarious living. Mr. Glasheen tries to live a quiet life on Howard Street with his wife and baby, but somehow things can never be too quiet for Mr. Glasheen. He thunderbolts his classes with amazing quotes and quips and his lectures have the tone and quality of an animated New Yorker, but we know very well that it was a little north of New York that he amassed all that learning. If you want to know about the past to pre- pare for the future go to the History Depart- ment, who are more than equipped to teach you all you want to know. Mr. Knapton, with his eternal pipe and Oxford charm, can give you an understanding of people and na- tions, along with a thorough history of the world. If it is America you are interested in Miss Clewes and Mr. Hidy can give you two different, but equally stimulating, aspects of our country. “Miss Clewes, renowned for her lovely hands and subtle sense of humor, gives you the cultural viewpoint of our history and our ancestors. She is always willing to discuss events past and present over a cup of her much needed coffee at Marty’s. Still retaining his Navy dash, Mr. Hidy expounds on the eco- nomic history of our country. Surrounded by innumerous maps and text- books, calm, ever smiling Miss Gulley fills her classes with interesting bits of information and a broad-minded viewpoint toward history and life. ‘The newest acquisition of the De- partment is Miss Sylva. Not long out of col- lege herself she verifies the theory that new professors expect perfection from their stu- dents. Although she doesn’t quite get it all from all of her students she gives it to her classes. If you have any questions about: government go to Miss Sylva. She knows all of the answers. Although they devote most of their time to their majors they manage to find a little to keep the rest of the community up on the news, with their interesting weekly lectures on current events. So if you want to know about life as well as history go to the History Department who, with their combined talents, can give you more than the price of a ticket of admission.

The faces above you look bland and smiling but carefully hoarded behind those pleasant masks are statistics, figures and theories which know all about YOU! They have us Tagged for memory, motivation, flights into fancy and Freudian slips of the tongue. Somehow, however, in the midst of their mazes, graphs and figures, they have all managed to main- tain their own identity. You can’t miss Mr. Shipley. . -he will be carrying a raincoat and supporting a cigarette but not smoking it. If you are still not sure, you cannot miss the long, low “Hi”. To find Miss Rickers just hunt for someone much to peppy to keep up with, speaking fourteen syllable words in fourteen languages. . .all with a Russian accent. Famous for any number of things, we will remember her for eye opening lectures, brain crushing exams, Slavka, her tempermental convertible, and irresistable charm. Miss Amen, famous for her hospitality and cookies, is head of this perspicacious crew. She is wonderfully friendly, as she tries to make budding Gesell’s out of all of the majors; but we harbor a suspicion that her heart belongs to the nursery school. Speaking of the nursery school, we can’t mention the Psych Depart- ment without a few words of praise to Miss Brooks, Miss Fleisher and Miss Thompson who manage to keep things calm and their charges happy while the majors busily observe their activities through a one way screen. After we have learned all there is about the small children, we go on to Mr. Nourse who, Page twenty-two with his kindly manner and slow drawl, in- structs us in the ups and downs of teaching. If you like coffee at Marty’s, a good sense of humor, and the Brooklyn Dodgers, you can’t help but know Miss Schonbar. Life in the classroom with Miss Schonbar is refreshing and informative; life outside is full of laughs and amazing numbers of friends, Wheaton has always been famous for her English Department, and four years of good, solid reading and listening will verify her rep- utation. Mr. Sharp is the head of the Depart- ment, and as such is an inspiring combination of wit and erudition which makes his classes a “must” on any major’s course cards. Mrs. Boas loves a “‘well stored mind”, and there is no better example than her own. Keeping up with Mrs. B. is no less than a mental marathon, but somehow when the bell rings she never seems out of ideas. She is alert and so quick that she can make any of us feel stodgy, but her effect on us is as stimulat- ing as a cup of coffee, and she makes us want to run home and read and read and read. Mr. Earle brings us the quiet, Thoreauean contemplation, and his continuous search for new ideas makes his classes delightfully like a symposium, We can think of no one who more carefully and hopefully merges knowledge of the past with hopes and plans for the future than Mr. Earle. Probably the most quoted man on campus, he makes us think and actual- ly enjoy doing it.
