Despite somewhat crowded quarters and threats of impending lights out , dormitory life has lost none of its appeal during the past year with residents of Julia Anne King and Bertha M. Goodison Residence Halls for women enjoying the customary midnight snacks, bull sessions, and study hours which go to make up dorm life. Miss S. Martha Robbins served Goodison Hall as head resident during the first semester, and Miss Verna Carson took over when she left. Mrs. Minnie Baltzer functioned as assistant head resident. King Hall residents were Miss Alma Carmichael and Miss Wil la- belle F. Carr. Assisting the head residents with the job of maintaining the smooth and efficient running of the dormitories were the dormitory House Councils. John M. Munson Hall, men ' s residence hall, has seen many changes during the past year. On the second, third and fourth floors, bugle calls and G. I. attire designate the somewhat obvious fact that the Army has moved in. On the first floor, however, civilian life remains. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Gildenstein, with their young daughter, continue to efficiently manage this civilian element, making Munson Hall a pleasant campus home for the men living there. dJorfnlioru rreuds j Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Gildenstein.

Hill, Farnham, Steimle. Brown, Rynearson, Isbell. M, t, minidtra It is the administrative officers of our college who assume the duties of guiding the new freshmen through the correct channels until they evolve as trained teachers. Perhaps the most unpretentious department on campus, its importance can only be understood when the value of its guidance to the student is fully realized. Class schedules and general programs have a habit of becoming most confusing. During harassing days of classifying, as well as at all other times, program and schedule difficulties are miraculously ironed out under the capable supervision of Dean of Administration Egbert R. Isbell and Mr. C. P. Steimle, Registrar. Sociai and employment problems present a continuous challenge to the Deans, offices. ' .Hue Kjlli icerS Dean of Women Susan B. Hill, Assistant Dean of Women Frances Farnham, Dean of Men James M. Brown, and Acting Dean of Men Elton Rynearson have done a very commendable job in fulfilling the demands made on them. The responsibilities of both the Dean of Ad- ministration and the Dean of Men have been increased in the past three years through their efforts to keep in contact with Michigan State Normal College men now in some branch of the armed forces. In the turmoil of our busy school year we often fail to express appreciation for the part the Administrative Officers play in making our campus the smoothly running organization that it is. 10

The problem of feeding the dorm-fulls of girls at King and Goodison Residence Halls is one that is of great importance, because their health is dependent — highly dependent on the type of food they eat. During war-time, especially, poor health is a detri- ment to any nation, and so Mrs. Lucy A. Elliott, director of the residence halls, finds her duties highly necessar The past school year has found her serving the residenc halls in a dependable and highly commendable manne which is saying much in these days of food scarcity an ration-point maneuvering. hreulih IKesldi ence Health Residence is a low, modern, well- equipped brick building at the corner of campus, where Dr. Glenadine Snow cap- ably manages her small staff and carries the many respon- sibilities of health residence. Heat and light treatments, care of the injured and sick, and physical examinations are services offered to every student. The general health of the whole student body rests in the hands of the Health Residence Staff, who willingly provide needed services. Beerbower, Snow, Hughes. 12
