GUY l-l. THOMPSON xl. .44 K' . ' ar ll-CGI 3Tl2l3l l2 Mr. Guy Thompson, Registrar of the college, is faced with an ever more difficult job as the enrollment at S.M.S. continues to increase every year. Chief among the new worries is that of scheduling classes to suit the maximum number of students. Another headache is registra- tion at the beginning of every term, when close to two thousand stu- dents must be handled in two days. l-le and his staff also handle all matters pertaining to admission to the school, information on advanced standing, correspondence and extension work, checking students for graduation or certification, and recommendations for state certificates. ln addition, all attendance records and scholastic records are kept in his office, college catalogs and schedules are prepared there, and grades approved for county certificates. Registrar LIQRQRY Mecca for the students at S.M.S. is the library, which is usually filled to capacity by those students who are doing research work, look- ing for a place to study, or merely glancing through the morning paper. Crowded conditions in both libraries prevent the utmost in effi- ciency, but the present staff handles the situation in such a way that necessary material can be made available to all those seeking it. The library is divided into two sections, with books pertaining to language, mathematics, science, fine arts, literature, history, and recrea- tional reading collections being relegated to the main library. In the South library along with bound and current periodicals, one can find the religious, social science, and education works. ARGARET CREIC-HTON, A.B., B,L.S. JANE FOSTER HOLT, B.S., B.S. in L.S.
