$ O II T E N $ Our profs gave their lectures, they returned dreaded exams, and they graded term papers. Most of all, however, they endeavored to instill into our minds, a little of the things which will make our life more meaningful. They listened to our dreams over Cokes in the Bookstore, they argued with us in the Cellar over the solution to the problems of the international world, and they played Softball in the Bowl. Dr. Jones, always scurrying toward Simpson, was never lonesome, for there were students mixing various concoctions in the Chemistry Lab every minute of the day. The friendly smile of our new professor, Dr. Toulmin, made him an immediate favorite with his classes. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and divid- ing. . . . Yes, Dr. Moore taught the Hilltoppers fundamentals in the world of figures as well as the more advanced courses where his Patience of Job was the secret of his success. The quiet dignity of Mr. Mc- Neel gave his classes that air of the admired professor and his earnest students endeavoring to achieve the goal together. That mischievous grin and cheerful attitude of Dr. Malone made such courses as Freshman Algebra much easier. Dr. Malone ' s desire to teach gave him the love of his students. Jokes in class plus his close association with Hilltopper made Dr. Glenn a favorite in class as well as on the volleyball court. The size of the American Government class is only one example of Dr. Park ' s position with Hilltoppers. 18

r A C U L T V . . . Dr. Ab had the energy of two and indeed it was necessary. Dashing from the Cellar to Poetry Class to his productions in the College Theatre kept him from leading a life of ease. In spite of his busy schedule, Dr. Abernethy always listened to the latest peeve of his advisees. The little coupe brought Dr. Scott to and from the Hill. We did not see as much of our Sociology Prof as we would have liked for he had his ministerial duties also, but he was on the campus enough to become sponsor for one of the girl ' s foot- ball teams Sadie Hawkins Day. Girls and their problems. Mrs. Moore had her day filled with those would-be school marms and the duties which accompany the title of Y. W. C. A. advisor. Even Latin is not too difficult when someone with the wit and energy of Dr. Keyes presides over the classes. Dr. Perry, the perfect gentleman of the traditional South, made life on the Hilltop just a little less hectic with his quiet manner at a time when the world was whirling in confusion. Dr. Proedoehl never found a minute in the day when admiring Hilltoppers did not want to discuss their latest philosophy of life with him. With Violin in hand and quick smile, Mr. Grieves had to spend most of his time at the Con- servatory guiding would-be fiddlers. Tony , the endearing name which his students have given him, :s significant in that it shows the warmth and sympathy with which Dr. Constans leads those who find the French phoenetics so difficult. 19
