Allen Hawley, Paul McKenzie Miss Peg Maple Miss Constance Wood As grade-dispenser and programvchecker Miss Wood's duties are exacting, often involve difficulties which she has solved capably, ex pertly in her last year in this capacity. Director of Public Relations for Pomona College is Allen Hawley, whose services to the college are many, important, keep him as busy as anyone on the hardworking administrations force, For public relations are of extreme importance to a small liberal arts college which must depend on private endowments and popularity for its best functioning. Also an aid along this line is Paul McKenzie, hardworking Editor of the News Service. From his office are released all of the publicity, pictures and news items which reach hometown newspapers. Of infinite worth to the glee club trips are his publicity releases to con cert cities, his posters and pictures. Releases to big-time newspapers are usually along the picture-with-a-story line, make women's sports and popularity contests a heyday for Paul.

ADMINISTRATION Mrs Eula Frey Miss Lucille Gramse Earl I. Merritt H Dr Ioseph Griggs Superintendent of kitchens and head dietician for all dining halls is competent Lucille P. Gramse, whose duties lie along the lines of supplying balanced, tasteful meals at low cost for nine hundred men and womeny in direct charge of the women's dining hall is cheerful Edith McDaniels. Together they have made Pomona meals outstanding through the whole country. Genial Mrs. Eula Frey is Director of Men's Dormitories. Under her direction budgets and plans, equipment and science are applied in earnest endeavor to provide a smooth, efficient and most of all a comfortable home for the four hundred men living in Smiley and Clark Halls. Energetic is Men's Social Director and Campus resident Earl Merritt, who also advises the freshmen and coaches football and track. ln spite of the somewhat irksome job of keeping an eye on the boys in Clark, Fuzz holds esteem, enjoys the fun. Claremont Colleges physician and director of college health service, Dr. Ioseph F. Griggs proved resourceful, active again this year. Out- standing points in a packed year were as advisor to the Sunday evening forums, lec- turer in Dr. Baber's marriage classes, instigator of the new medical service plan, under which staff would be increased, each student would pay a small sum for complete and adequate service. The plan has been set aside for the present, because of prohibitive costs, but has not been tabled. After this year, Dr. Griggs will return to Washington to resume private practice. Greatly missed will be his cheerful smile, spirited vitality, geniality. ln the excitement and tension of ordinary campus life, students very seldom realize the importance of the people they see about them daily-people whose duties are dedicated to making smooth-working living conditions an achievement instead of an ideal. Biggest problem presented is by sophomore houses, whose age and growing de- lapidation require larger and more expensive repairs each year. Plans for a new women's dormitory are already under way, may become definite in the next two years. ln spite of this separation of sophomores from the rest of the campus, sophomores are well acquainted with other classes, eat at the same ining halls, thanks to well-man- aged staffs, are an indispensable part of s l life S E P T E M R 1 9 3 9 23
