t 4. I Students are not so conscious of their dependence on these three faculty executives-A. R. Jones, Miss Gladys Phinney, and Miss Ella Pixley-as of the professors and teachers with Whom they have constant contact. Asstnning the duties of treasurer of Washburn last year upon the death of D. L. Mclfachron, Mr. Jones resigned early in the second semester to become a member of the state corporation commission. During his short tenure of otlice, he devised a systematic method of paying tuition in in- stallments throughout the semester. and offered a five percent discount for payment of tuition in full. To Mr. Jones was assigned the unpleasant t.ask of approving or disapproving requisites for expenditures from all departments of the college. Miss Phinney, serving her second year as registrar, continues her arduous task of compiling all the college records of enrollment and grades. Recommending and placing graduates as teachers, which for- merly caine under her supervision, was transferred to the education de- partment this year. Now completing her twenty-sixth year behind a desk in Holbrook hall, Miss Ella Pixley, secretary and assistant treasurer, has one of the most desirable positions on the campus-she receives all tuition pay- ments. The remodeled, modernized ollices of secretary and treasurer in Hol- brook allord lighter, more comfortable, and more convenient head- quarters lor their exacting work. By the careful liguring, and planning, and stringent use of college funds, Mr. Jones was able to give a favorable financial report of Wasli- burn at the beginning of this year, stating that its financial condition was the best in years. These three executives are excellent examples of behind-the-scenes workers, necessary to keep business matters running smoothly, but taking no direct part in the administration of affairs. The quiet elliciency and dependability, which characterize their daily service help to carry on the supervision of the business of the college and regulation of school activities. FACULTY EXECUTIVES Gladys Phinuey, Registrar Ella Pixley, Secretary A. R. Jones, Treasurer
