Broken window, transplanted shrubbery, a fluorescent light failure, a leaky faucet or the layout for a new driveway. You name it and these men execute it. Behind the scenes the men and women shown on this page contribute to our comfort day and night. Neither the elements or the vagaries of humanity keep this corps from their daily tasks. E. S. Voorhies, director of maintenance, and Floyd Travis his assistant who handles ground maintenance and delivery service, are pictured above. Standing by his faithful truck is W. C. Hastings, who supervises the heating and electrical system, while working in the maintenance shop is C. L. McBroom, supervisor of janitorial and plumbing service; Raymond Brashear, super- visor of carpentry work, Paul Messick and Clyde O. Vance, supervisor of campus police and watchmen service. Below these strategic ofEcers are the tactical forces shown in the upper picture. 28

WHERE OUR AILMEHTS ARE SHORTLIVED Aches and pains are short-lived under the competent care of Mrs. Melba Newton, the registered nurse in charge of and at residence in the infirmary. Although very few stu ' dents are forced to take leave of classes and transfer tempo rary residence to the infirmary, the facilities here are ade- quate to furnish one comfort and ease during the days of convalescing. Dr. William Shacklett is the consultant for the student who needs the attention of an M.D. Here Mrs. Newton takes the temperature of a co-ed Barbara Casey who, no doubt, is very relieved that she is normal. THE POST OFFICE WHERE WE RECEIVE OUR MAIL! Those letters from home which students earnestly await are cheerfully distributed to their boxes by Miss Irene McElroy, the post-mistress. For the easy access of students coming to and from classes, the post office is in the Student Union Building. Pictured are Peggy Garvin and Miss Irene McElroy. Hearty, affable Charles ' Bubber Murphy is that rare combination of gentleman, muscle man, and student that can still attain outstanding success as a coach. His hand- hng of men with maturity and experience or his appre- ciation of the problems of an ambitious but somewhat cal- loused athlete, make our director of athletics a popular coach, and a successful executive. Pictured are Coach Elbert Patty, athletic business manager, and Coach Charles Murphy. 27

Composed of class representatives from Rutledge, Lyon, and Monohan Halls, this organization is concerned with the rules and regulations in the dorms. When the girls fail to abide by the dormitory rules, they come to the attention of the council. This group decides their fate, whether it is a reminder, demerits, or a campus. This method of student discipline works very well, and the Dorm Council have the respect and admiration of all the students. Pictured left to right are: Anita Cook, Jo Ann Redding, Dena Croft, Joyce Cooper, Patricia Wilson, Sue Richardson, Joan Startup. Jones Hall and Smith Hall each have councils for regu- lation of the dorm rules. These councils are concerned with problems arising in the individual dorms. When a problem arises that demands further consideration, it comes to the attention of the Inter-Dorm Council, composed of repre- sentatives from both Smith and Jones Hall. These councils serve m corresponding capacity to the girls ' council. Pictured left to right: standing are: Al Phi!» lips, Bobby Tensfield, Joe Collier, Robert York, Joe Casey. Seated: Lynn Banks, Jerry Kemp, Jim Satterfield, Charles Pigg, Sid Corban, Billy Ray Goodall. OUR SOCIAL EVEHTS ARE PLAHHED BY THE STUDENT SOCIAL COMMITTEE A committee that is concerned with the social aspect of the student life is the social committee. This committee, along with the faculty social committee, is concerned pri- marily with making up the social calendar from quarter to quarter and planning the social events. Each dormitory is represented by two members, plus a Senior representative. The ASB Vice-President serves as chairman for the committee. Pictured left to right are: Peggy Towery, Marie Smith, Ronald McRady, Martha Whitehurst, Ed Baldwin, Juanita Prince, Craig Fox, Wins- ton Bennett, Bebe Drumwright, Mary Joyce Williamson, Elizabeth Hay, and Lynn Banks. 29
