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

% 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

% © II T E N ' § Dr. Bathurst left us before the year was over, but his interest in his students who followed the Psychology profession will certainly be remembered. Dr. Hunter was on the campus only during the summer quar- ter. Nevertheless, he became a favorite Hilltop prof. Dr. Prodoehl, with his spirit and life, called his students of German Brother and they loved it. The vigor with which he attacked the difficulties in his classes made German and Philosophy more meaningful to every student. Statistics and the economic situation never took that quick grin from Dr. Beaudry ' s face. His capable management of his numerous advisees who were following the career of the busi ness world was especially noticeable. Miss Wiley ' s classes were different because she realized that some of the antics of our ancient ancestors were absurd, and her common sense attitude toward Hilltoppers found her admirers included meek Freshmen, Vets and the eager intelligencia. With his own love for music so deep, Mr. Anderson could hardly do anything but instill some of this love into the heart of the Hilltop. His patience and effort to produce great music saw results in the powerful choir which he developed. 22
