Standing: Theodore Krohne, Admissions Counselor; Robert G. Leonliardt, Business Manager. Seated: Florence L. Cosgrove, Bookkeeper; Alma SchaefFer, Secretary to the President. An essential part of any institution is its office force. Books must be kept, bills must be paid, correspondence must be kept up to date, and much other work must be done m order to keep a college running smoothly. One of the first men whom all freshmen meet upon their first day here is the under- standing Mr. Leonhardt. As the business man- ager, he makes out bills and handles all other business transactions. His efficient assistant is Mrs. Cosgrove. She collects all payments due the college and sees to it that all bills are paid. It is to her that the students fly to get their long-awaited checks cashed. Just down the hall from the business office is the general office. Here we find the secre- taries to the Dean and to the President, Mrs. Langhorst and Mrs. Schaeffer. These women handle correspondence of their bosses ' , make dates for the students who wish conferences with either of these men, reproduce the exam sheets for the profs, and send out our grade cards. Ted Krohne, u the class of ' 36 and a one- time editor of the Elm Bark, has filled the position of Public Relations Director. This office was created during the past year, and so far Mr. Krohne has handled it very suc- cessfully. His job is to take care ot student solicitations and the publicity for the college. During the second semester, a gripe com- mit tee, which is to act as a go-between be- tween the students and the administration, was organized under the leadership of Mr. Kr(jhne. 14
