The addition of new departments was a rather fre- quent occurrence until the decade of the twenties was well under way. Practically all of the department, and most of the non- department clubs were organized after 1925. The classes found in the good old days were organi- zations in the strict- est sense of the word. Each class had a flower, a col- or, and perhaps a bird or an animal a girls could write pages of poetry and in behalf of which the boys would willingly annihilate any neighboring classmen and his own Sunday-go-meetin' suit. Yes, the world changes. The material presented in the 1934 Sequel is divided into two sec- tions. In this first division are found all things relating to the factors which are positively necessary to the organization of the school. It is in this section that they articles on the departments embracing pictures and editorial comment on the faculty bout which the THE COLLEGE and department clubs, are found. Classes are presented in this section, accompanied by accounts of the class elections and the outstanding activities of these four large groups into which the student body of the college is segregated. The- features in this section of The Sequel are the ones which appear in every college and high school year- book in one form or another. Frequently an editor is asked, why not toss away the old traditions of annuals and dis- pense with the ever present faculty pic- tures and the mo- notonous pages of class panels? Yet they always appear in the next issue. The answer is sim- ple. An account of a year in college cannot be complete, in fact must be to- tally inadequate, unless the faculty, the classes, and their affiliated groups are presented. And so it is that as long as schools have faculty and classes they needs must be included in any year-book which to any degree attempts to present a panorama of a school year. It is with pleasure that The 1934 Sequel presents the organizations, faculty and students, which constitute the college. It serves as a means of connect- ing that face and name which has been such a puzzle before. One can see just who did belongto his depart- ment and its organization.

Administration MATTERS of administration are directed at Western by Presi- dent Walter P. Morgan and handled by an eiiicient staff employing the most recent methods used in the larger colleges and universities of the country. The greatest advance made during the year is found in the record- ing department Where a new filing system has been installed and has been brought up to date in so far as records of former students permitted. Rec- ords of students in school today are much more detailed and complete and filed very much more compactly than ever before. Miss Hertha Voss and Miss Velna Sollars have been in charge of the new system of records. H. F. Currens has served his tenth year as dean of the Western faculty this year. He has taken charge of the school during the absences of Presi- dent Morgan. Dr. Currens has a host of other duties to handle in connec- tion with the administration of the school. In the ofHce of the registrar most of the routine business, with which the students come in contact, is dis- charged. O. L. Champion has been school registrar since 1920, and has been associated with the school con- S President and Mrs. Morgan, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bailey of Macomb, as they appeared at the reception for President Fairchild of Old Normal. Mr. Bailey is one of the members of the Normal School Board. i211
