We are proud of Mon treat and what her influence has meant in our lives. So let us show our gratitude by becoming a strong body of boosters for the continued growth and progress of a great school. As President, may I urge all of you to join the Alumnae Organiza tion and plan to attend our lunch eon and meeting in May. Hoping to see all of you then, I remain. Sincerely, .lulia Wood Class ’30 Alumnae President MISS ELIZABETH SHIELDS (Continued from Page 1) signed to teach the teachers. Her first textbook, GUIDING KIND ERGARTEN CHILDREN IN THE CHURCH SCHOOL, was written at the request of the Interna tional Council of Religious Edu cation. Others followed which, along with her poems, prayers, and songs, are used interdenom- inationally. Miss Shields is a South Caro linian by birth, but she was reared in Memphis, Tennessee. Upon graduation from Highee School, she began teaching in her home town. Her work with the Southern Presbyterian Church started when she was asked to substitute for the woman who was then writing beginners’ lessons. Then, in 1914, she was asked to go to Richmond as a full-time worker. She stayed there until 1935, when she came to Montreat. But her work did not stop then. Here, along with her hobbies of gardening, sewing, painting, she is still pursuing her writing ca reer. “Montreat,” says Miss Shields, “has given me some of my greatest inspiration for poems about God as revealed in nature.” The sound of the Beethoven Symphony, No. 6, issues from the phonograph at the back of the house, while gay melodies vibrate from several pianos upstairs. Three housekeepers, only slightly confused as to which duties are theirs this week, scurry about at their tasks. Few interi-uptions dis turb their calmness—except per haps Miss Hoyt’s dropping in be fore breakfast to check on the hot water, and, incidentally, staying for a piece of toast. But such sur prise visits are part of the prac tical education for these three ad vanced home economics students who are living at the Practice House for three weeks and get ting actual experience in manag ing a household. Miss Miles has helped the girls—Betty Whittle, Pat Cox, and Florence Buckner— attractively furnish some rooms at the Music Building and is super vising and grading their work. Just to prove that they are full- fledged housekeepers, Betty, Pat, and Flossie have even a “pres sure-cooker” story. Fortunately, the kitchen has several doors, for when the steam started popping, all the cooks headed for exits. Betty now declares that, after —Continued on Page 8 Sophomores Answer Age - Old Question On April 23, the High School sophomores gave a very amus ing play entitled “Why Teachers go Nuts.” The following lovable charac ters evoked much laughter and many comments from the well- pleased audience: Abigail Abbysinice, Betty Chese- brough; Bull Durham, Elaine Jasper; Earnest E.
