Efficient Administrative Sta f Directs SMS Activities There is no vacation season in the office of Guy H. Thompson, Registrar, for the job of issuing transcripts, preparing and revising class schedules, and keeping individual student records is one that never stops. All matters concerning admissions, registra- tion, preparation of college catalogues, and check- ing students for graduation are handled through the registrar's office with an efficiency which has become almost legendary. Mr. Thompson also cer- tifies students for graduation and throughout the school year his office handles all correspondence and extension work. Miss Bertha Wells, Dean of Women, presides over one of the busiest offices on campus. Her many duties range from scheduling all college func- tions which do not take place in the Student Center, to issuing locker keys and taking care of lost and found articles. She also handles absentee reports, takes emergency calls for students, and approves posters for the bulletin boards. ln addition, she keeps a complete list of data on approved student housing. I Miss Wells has made many friends during her years as Dean of Women at SMS, and students and faculty alike will miss her helpful presence and advice after she retires this spring.
