Slippery Rock felt a great loss when Miss Belle Holaway had to leave the campus in November because of illness. It is our sincere hope that she is back on the road to recovery and will be in good health soon. While she was at S. R. Miss Holaway was very active as adviser to the North Hall Dormitory Council, faculty representative to Student Government and the Honor Board, and a member of the Y. W. C. A. and Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. She also taught classes in college orientation for Freshmen women. Her interests arc broad and varied: reading, world affairs, sports, bridge, and traveling. Wc shall always remember her deep-rooted sincerity and her pleasing personality and gracious manner that made Miss Holaway the ideal hostess. 17

One of the earliest post-war additions to our campus was Dr. Dale W. Houk. President of the College. Dr. Houle came to us at the beginning of the second semester in the wake of a splendid record, and already we have been stimulated by his powerful personality. Slippery Rock extends a sincere welcome to its new leader and pledges the production of truly great music through harmony. 16

Miss Margaret Rhoads Slippery Rock's new Dean of Women is Miss Margaret V. Rhoads. Far from being a stranger at S. R., Miss Rhoads was a member of the Laboratory School faculty prior to entering the Women’s Reserve of the United States Navy in 1943. She served as an officer in Ship’s Service at St. Louis, Missouri, for two years and then went to Clinton. Ohio, where she supervised a group of enlisted women reserves. Although she has been back with us only a few months, she has become a real friend of all, and her appealing personality has endeared her to us. We salute you. Miss Rhoads, for you have worked cheerfully and tirelessly for the good of us all. 18
