HERE AND THERE WITH THE
CLASS NEWS OF ’22.
For the benefit of the person who wrote in last year’s Oriole that an Aluminum was one who “stayed two years and lived to tell about It” — let us make this amendment:
Two years may make an Alumnae, but two years plus two months makes an Aluminum — Oh, how we shine!
Now, speaking of shining, however, we find among the greatest
shiner Alberta Smith, who finds a red racer helps a lot. Oh, yes, and Catherine Coh.ee and Hilda Elben, who ride through Federalsburg with “the man in the moon." Cornelia Wilson, (you’d never think it), hangs her P. A. on her Baltimore bureau. Regarding bright things, we’ve left out Nell Cashell, of ’20, and that new pink bonnet of hers, which travels through Bethesda between Ruby’s Trail’s curly pompadour (Ruby’s so in love with her work) and Louise Barnsley’s (also of '20) French heels. And shine, heaven’s above! Have you seen K. Monday’s diamond. Last time we saw her, she was frantically hunting Aluminum saucepans
(service for two) and Axminster rugs.
But rising from sueh menialthings as kitchen utensils, Dorothy
Jump was quite high last time we saw her — swinging in a swing on
the far side of the U. of Md. Campus, where she was watching C. Roe demonstrating the joys of a Nature (Study lesson in the November woods— to her group of U. of Md. “hikers”(?).
E. Henry also close, still helps (congest the mall system between (here and Richmond.
Janet Duke is still performing her repertoire of darkey songs, but
her audience are no longer the inmates of Newell Hall, but part of the
regular army. V. Fowler, her chum is still wearing out the steps into С.H. M. A., near which she teaches with Elizabeth Palmer, of ’20.
Mary Albert and Frances Garber still inseparable, are teaching in Ha¬
gerstown. Mary is teaching music, and Frances, suffering from ear-
strain, has had to lend her ears to "hock.” T. Bloom is happy, In Williamsport, where she has two pupils who look like Rudolph Valentino. ’Tis the irony of fate which places
Louise Clift and Evelyn Peacock In a place which revels in the name of
Seat Pleasant. Anne Somerville has gone back home to teach and wait
for the “Turn ’er the Tide.” W% found Elizabeth Jump .of '21,
Bessie Robinson, Katherine Krout and Marie Frantz shopping in Baltimore, Saturday for labor-saving devices.
Betty and Miriam are still keeping
the mails and trains busy between
Sandy Spring — (sh! a quiet neighborhood), and Laurel, (a rich, rare
metropolis) ,
But laying all jokes aside, we find
the same sentiment among all the
girls who are now out In the field “if I can just make good" and “show
them" back at Normal, and most of them seem to be in a fair way of doing it.
As to my personal views of teaching, I, (В.B.) still am marvelling over the fact of what a little responsibility has done for many of us and my advice to the Seniors is — Don’t try startling reform, and don’t try to tell quite everything you know, to
the kiddies, the first day — and furthermore, if you’re hunting an ideal
place to teach, you'd better send in your application tomorrow for 1st,
2nd, and 3rd grades — Sandy Spring.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM
THE FRONT.
"Here I am way up here in Hagerstown, and yet It seems that I
must send down to you for books.
I am down so deep in my teaching
career that I do believe It will take
a Baltimore County Course of Study (to pull me out.
How is everything at “ole" Normal? I think of you almost every
day and wish I were with you. I
like teaching very well. I have a
fourth grade In a wonderful school,
only two blocks from home. The
children are the most adorable
things you will find anywhere. The
grades are divided so that 1 have
only the bright group this year.
Mary Albert Is alsd teaching in the
same school. There are about 900
pupils in the whole school, and 65
of those are mine. Can you Imagine
me trying to teach that many “live
wires”? I dearly love every one of
them, though.
I have subscribed for the “Oriole,"
but have not received a copy yet. I
am expecting to get just “oodles”
of suggestions from It, so tell them
to pack it full of good news.”
Marguerite V. Stone.
TEACHERS’ OATH.
I hereby swear as a member of
the teaching profession, to do my
duty toward the nation, the state,
the county, the community, and the
school in which I teach. I will do
all in my power to make the school
a place to learn right, by living
-ight; to work with interest and enthusiasm; and to encourage work
rather than listening among my pupils. I will heartily co-operate with
all members of the teaching profession and I will be honest and sincere in all my undertakings, both
with my pupils and co-workers.
