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!

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 Bess Canright Doxsee has, in her erratic, beneficent manner, endeared herself to those connected with her art department. Typical are a cheerful, quizzical smile, a willingness to help. Elsie Gordanier, sociologically-minded, has proven a most able assistant to the art head in both executive and teaching capaci- ties. She has loftiness in ideals, profundity in thought. I Johnny Whitehead- Stuff is here and it's really mellow. A characteristic White- head statement typical of many that dapper Johnny has made in the past two years to put Wliittier on the map POETically. His are enthusiasm, initiative, personality. Miss Holmberg-As secretary to Dr. Mendenhall and the power in the outer oHice, Miss Holmberg is capable but withdrawing, eager to help yet unobtrusive. Constantly interrupted, she looks up unruflled from her littered desk to answer demands for postage stamps, thumb tacks, or the whereabouts of a faculty member. Miss Rudder-Making change rapidly :ind balancing books are but the most evident of Miss Rudderas accomplishments. She knows how to laugh, to joke, and brighten her corner with unexpected wit. Miss Haig-Because she proceeds in a quiet, unassuming way, many have come to know Miss Haig only through registration and have missed the acquaintance with a pleasing person.
