Ue BURSAR Mr. T. B. Woodmore serves us in the capacity of Bursar and exercises his good judgment in the channeUng of funds for one function or another. He is the man we meet during registration day — the last lap of a hectic race, and he is the man through whom all requisitions pass. Mr. Woodmore also serves on the student employment and publications committees. The business office staff is shown here. Left to right are: James W. Jackson, Assistant Bursar; Mrs. Betty Cox; Mr. Woodmore; Mrs. Mildred Alexander; and Mrs. C A. Wombwell (seated). and Ue REGISTRAR Mr. William B. Judd, the Registrar, graduated from our own school when it was called State Teachers College. His Master of Arts degree was received from Peabody College. In his capacity here he has the unsung hero ' s position of recording grades and credits of the whole stu- dent body and also of notifying them of their academic standing. With the aid of his office staff, he does an out- standing job. Mr. Judd has been with us here at MTSC since 1927. W. B. Judd Now let ' s take a tour through the buildings and along the pathways of the campus. The center of activity is the Administration Building, built in 1911 when the college was first founded. It has since been used as the main housing for all our classes and the majority of our outside activities. Then too, it is the home of all the offices with which each student becomes familiar early in his school career. The offices of the president, the deans, the registrar, and the bursar are all found here.

ke MaUt lUUuf, at M BG U EDUCATION Remember, folks, that this school is primarily noted for the quantity and quality of teachers it graduates each year. That ' s right — when you were here it was called Middle Tennessee Normal and then later, Middle Tennes- see State Teachers College. Well, it still upholds its tra- ditionally fine Education Department. Its primary aim is to produce teachers, both secondary and elementary. Just think, ninety per cent of the graduating class here qualify for teaching certificates and we think all of them are out- standing after being instructed by the department ' s capable faculty. The department is concerned with the selection, guid- ance, general education, and professional growth of those in residence and in service. One particularly unique fac- tor concerning the department, in addition to the Training School, is the agreement between the college and the local high school. We benefit so much by being able to do our secondary practice teaching in an actual situation. Not only that, but the regular teachers at the high school give us the benefit of their extensive experience. The department faculty consists of nine carefully chosen, experienced, and well trained instructors. They are in the picture below, reading from left to right: Dr. m ' f mMiM T sJkJiifiV fl H V ] Joe F. Wilkes, Dr. Wilmoth Bowdin, Dr. S. Belt Keathly, Dr. Howard Kirksey, Miss Mary Hall, Mr. N. C. Beasley, Dr. Ralph Dunham, Mr. Roy Simpson, and Mr. Robert Adkins. These faculty members are always willing to give whatever help may be needed by the students, as is pointed out in the above snapshot.
