FACULTY Miss Haroldson's movements in the musical world are followed with interest by her Wliittier friends. And speaking of movements, this violinist sways to her music -with a grace Worthy of emulation by the students of the posture exercise classes. John Harlow Mills-His is a well-nigh insatiable thirst after knowledge, and he has not yet depleted his over-supply of ambition. Even now when he has completed a lecture, he can be seen hurrying up the hill to hear a fellow-professor deliver another one. Miss Lohmann-Here is little of the traditionally over-delicate artist, and it's true one might at Hrst think of an American co-ed majoring in P. E. by the hearty jolliry of her Ways. Dr. Evans- Praise God from Whom all blessings flow . . . If Wliittier students excel at this hymn, it is because Dr. Evans' good humor goaded us on to full volume. Miss Van Loan, who knows just how it is, prepares education majors for the shock of adolescents singing in their various de- grees of rhythm and pitch. . Mrs. Carroll Clevenger is one of the champions Whittier sends in to defend a near-lost piano art from the insouciant at- tacks by one Marx brother.

FACULTY Dr. Smith-Few schools boast within. their history department an embryonic Alpine climber such as he, whose academic enthusiasmfor Stubbs and Henry Adams includes clambering upon the blackboard in pressing home a principle to a delighted student audience. Dr. Henley-A Carolina boyhood or competition among basketball players may not relate to current economic problems, but used as illustrations, they have caused Dr. Henley's students to forget sometimes the novels they carry to other lectures. Charles B. Spaulding, sociologist, is an- other man of the brief case. His long legs have been seen to take the five porch steps of Redwood at one leap. Dr. Coffin is one of those few professors who have the courage to let the students speak themselves. Panel discussions are his prime enjoyment. His pince-nez and manila folders crammed with lecture outlines are seen on OXy's campus as well as in Founder's Hall. Dr. Baldwin has, perhaps by employing words found useful in discipline of Ward- man Hall, discovered his own gentle talent of evoking improvement in psychology students. J. Gustav White's office is to the right of that big palm tree of Redwood library. Vocational counsels, aptitude tests, and Y. M. C. A. secretaryships are his specialties.

FACULTY Miss Martin is a popular figure around the gym. Who would not like courses in shuffleboard and ping-pong in ten easy lessons? Miss Verhulst-May We say that only the remarkable lung-power of Miss Lucille Verhulst could and did control the antics of Spring Festival visitors upon initiation into folk-dancing? Wallace Newman-A reporter, tele- phoning Chief for baseball results, received the answer, Chapman Won. Thatis Chief -if you don't Win, it was the other team that Won. You don't say you lost. And Chief, personally applying bandages at the 15-yard-line or sitting by his bottle of water on the bench, instills more than a little of that philosophy into his teams. Crawford Peek--The importance of paper hats for a successful dinner was a fea- ture of a Spring Festival lecture by Coach Peek. And if you are the least interested in red skies at sunset, he can talk of that, too. B. G. Whitten has been it in the game of ''Who-speaks-in-the-reading-room? The readers of the Athletic Iouwfzrzl must have been ventriloquists, for many's the time an innocent wrong party was tagged by the Well-meaning B. G. Mr. A. A. Clarke is our unobtrusive but eiiicient Y.M. C. A. librarian, and we haven't seen him grouchy yet!
