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

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

. . . Coach Thompson Through the years, on every college campus throughout the country, eventually emerges a figure who becomes as integral a part of the college as the buildings themselves. The College of the Pacific has its Alonzo Stagg, but Slippery Rock reserves the honor of having N. Kerr Thompson, a momentous figure in the realm of coaching and athletic supervision. His superior guidance and organizing ability have developed the type of teams coveted by all coaches. His ever present sense of humor and congenial manner have instilled in his teams nor only the will to win, but the courage to go down to defeat and come up smiling. So, to a great man. doing a grand job, we attribute all the credit in the world, knowing full well that Coach is deserving of all that we can bestow upon him. Mr. Archie Dodds . . . Slippery Rock welcomes back to its campus Mr. Archie Dodds, who is now acting as Dean of Men. Tall, dark, and handsome well describe this active gentleman who recently returned from nearly four years of service in Uncle Sam’s Navy. In addition to supervising activity at South Hall, Mr. Dodds also finds time to head the Physical Education Department, to teach Anatomy and Organization, and to act as an adviser to Student Government. We like his calm but business-like manner and his brisk efficiency. To put it briefly, he’s tops!
