Administration officers enjoy the R.A.picnic for freshmen. Mr. Busche signals for the song to begin. The faculty enjoyed Club 13, too. Ofi, Most Worshipful Professor . , ' No student, as she watches members of the faculty process in their academic robes, can foil to be impressed by the brilliant array of hoods and gold tassels. But their attire is only a symbol of the years of study and prepara- tion they have undergone. Through traveling, as Dr. Moore ' s and Dr. Camper ' s trips to Europe last summer; through further college work, as Mr. Hansen ' s summer of study at the University of Wisconsin; or through independent research, they continue to learn and improve even as they teach. And they are available to the students socially as well as academically. We have a distinguished faculty. Some have authored text-books in their field, and Dr. Shine, in collaboration with his wife, has recently published a book, The Quarterly Review Under Gifford. Mr. Guy has made a name for himself in the field of art; Dr. Hendrickson is an acknowledged authority on David Dale Owen. We have a public-spirited faculty. The members contribute to community services, address meetings, sponsor drives, belong to clubs and organizations. They plan and supervise programs for the handicapped, and they auction their services during the comm unity chest drive. Six men members of the faculty made their debuts as singing waiters at the Kiwanis pancake supper February 13. On campus they are more than classroom instructors; they are counsellors and advisers. They also participate in extra-curricular activities as do the students. This summer Dr. Holcombe is planning and chaperoning a trip to Europe for a group of Mac students. We have a faculty of individuals. They look forward to Friday and long for vacations just as fervently as any student. They have their moods and interests. They, too, have their fun. Every other year, the faculty presents a show for the students. Faculty members are often called upon to present a reading or speech for a school program. We have a faculty we can well be proud of. It forms cm integral part of our college life. 17 »
