WAPLES, R.N. School Nurse ing straight how many week-ends we had been off campus during one quarter, seeing to our date slips and late permissions. Mrs. Funkhouser assisted the registrar in keeping our essentials for graduation and our class cuts. Mrs. Hamaker, Miss Roller, and Mrs. Sharpes worked in the business manager ' s office and presided over the records and our bank accounts — which were usually at the status of zero. Miss Waples helped Dr. Weems in the college infirmary to cure our ailments, which ranged from flu and mumps to cuts and bruises. They always had some healing salve or pills to administer. Miss Ralston ' s work was to keep the lines at the switchboard straight and to put the mail, when there was any, into the right box. Miss Thomas saw that our food was on time, and Miss Hudson super- vised the social activities of the seniors. Yes, theirs were necessary ministries, and they performed for us services which we shall not soon forget.

I 19-1.0 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS The Senior Class chose for its officers girls having leadership ability — but they also had other distinc- tive characteristics. When it was time for business, they were business-like; but when it was time for fun, they were ready to join in. Meda, although small in body, had a rich personality. She was friendly to everyone and always wore a smile. No matter what the issue was, Meda worked for the good of her class and used her voice to sound the opinions of those whom she served. The responsibilities be- longing to a class president she assumed willingly, and effectively fulfilled. Nor did Marcella fail in any way to do her part as vice-president. She was a very capable girl and one who gladly co- operated with the other officers at all times in working for the welfare of her class. She was a typical college student — one who was admired by those who knew her. The class also made a wise choice when it selected Charlotte for secretary. She was very willing to serve her fellow-stu- dents and always did her work well. Charlotte ' s appearance was striking and her person- ality attractive. In college she was a friend to all she met. For treasurer the class needed a person who was both responsible and accurate. To fill this office Gerry was chosen, and never during her year of service did she fail to come up to the high standards which had been set for her. She accepted her re- sponsibilities in a good-natured manner, and was al- ways just the girl her class needed in that office. Dot ' s ability and striking personality fitted her for many services, but the class was especially fortu- nate in selecting her for sergeant-at-arms. She was a very capable officer, and one who willingly did her part in carrying on the activities of the Senior Class. Her good disposition has been admired by all who knew her. Certainly the class needed a capable person for Marie Walker. Frances Cole, Virginia Shreclchise, Almeda Greyard reporter, and this office was efficiently filled Peggy. She was interested in the activities of class and desired to serve in the best way she could those who had selected her. Her personality was admirable and her friends numerous. She met everyone with a smile and a friendly hello. In this small space only a few things could be said about these six girls who so efficiently served as the lead- [26] by ler
