% IE T E N ' $ Dr. Hutson, guided those in the ministerial field, was faculty adviser for Chi Sigma Phi, and Religious Council, and still had time to make great accomplishments on the Faculty Softball team. Dr. Alan T. Wager settled many of the disputes which concerned the atomic bomb with his knowledge of this phenomenon. Miss Lewis never had problems of her own which she placed above those of her students. Her work in the gym was significant of her interest in Hilltoppers. Dr. Frierson, of necessity, spent most of his time in labs with struggling students in the world of modern science. Dr. Leon Sensabaugh, with his International Relations Course, his Portuguese classes, and his fondness for the softball diamond, found that his friends included every type of student from the would-be diplo- mat to the athletes. Mr. Mc Williams, head of the Plumanities Division, read the Middle English in Chau- cer ' s Canterbury Tales as well as modern poetry which he is forced to read as a prize at Hilltop auc- tions. Dr. Whiting with his biology adherents is surrounded by students from his cup of coffee in the Cafeteria in the morning until late afternoon. 20

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

FAC L T ¥ The brusk Hello and the tweeds typify Dr. Hunt. The wit and notes of personal interest in his Drama classes are remembered. How Miss Crawford does so many things during twenty-four hours is the eighth wonder of the world. From chasing Mr. Ogburn to getting a door-knob replaced to typing three-hundred letters, her day is a busy one. Even with all this, she has time to act as hostess to visitors to the Hilltop. Mrs. Roper ' s jovial personality behind the counter in the Bookstore make her the per- sonal friend to each student. Mr. Hernandez has made Spanish classes interesting with his bright interest and enthusiasm for this subject. With so many returning Pre-med students, Dr. Reynolds had a busy year. He prepared students for Med schools, made out schedules and still had time to direct the Church Choir at McCoy. Vincent Town r end was not seen too often on the campus, but everyone realized that he was the man behind the publicity which the Hilltop received. He made the wheels of the Southern Accent and the Hilltop News turn with his authority. 21
