AND THE DEANS OFF FOR A WELL-EARNED REST, dean of the college William E. NIcholl took his sabbatical second senaester. His duties, at present filled by dean Kenneth Duncan, are general coordinator of college activities, chairman of College Life committee. Probably his most distinguished insignia is the little blue hat donned upon state occasions. WHILE MISS GIBSON took her sabbatical during the first semester, Ellen Bowers, shown here chatting with some information-seekers, held the fort down, was made assistant dean of women. It is her thankless job to de- cide who shall have the use of the new AWS station wagon. DEAN OF WOMEN Jessie Gibson and acting dean of the college Kenneth Duncan had a hand in the awarding of scholarships, buckled down near the end of the year to help decide what students will enter Pomona next fall, write them reams of welcoming and advising letters.

FURTHER DECIMATION of capital re- sources is effected by a brusque two-minute chat with Miss Amelia Smith, who relieves the exchequers of the Hubbies and 750 other families, of sums ranging skyward from $390 per semester, for board and room. A SADDER BUT WISER GIRL about red p ' tape and registration, Martha discovers that as far as entering college Is concerned there is no getting anywhere without stand- ing In long lines. World-weary, she beats a path to the Coop to consort with a coke.

THEN THERE IS THE FACULTY FIRST YOU SEE THEM in flowing robes and sober faces, bound for convocation. The procession is slow, full of tradition and shadows of the past. It ends in Little Bridges, the professors assembled on the stage. The convo- cation begins. The professors are merely faces on a stage. And then you see them in class. The faces become sources of facts, dates, great ideas, biting satire and subtle wit. Your classes are small; you see your professors as the camera lens saw English Instructor Joseph Angell. .
