Cary Wheeler, senior class president, drops into the Dean ' s office to discuss Founders ' Day plans with Miss Scan- drett. Dean of Women is a formidable title, but Miss Carrie Scandrett ' s sense of humor and personal interest in every girl are responsible for the waiting line to be found outside of her office at any hour. Equally ready to hear tales of woe or the high lights of last night ' s date, she has the ability to be a perfect listener and to draw out the most timid freshman. Taking over the heavy responsibility of keeping five hundred girls happy and of urging them on to higher attainments. Miss Scandrett deserves praise for her work this year. Miss Charlotte Hunter and Mr. S. G. Stukes meet in the daily routine of ad- ministration affairs. Miss hHunter has won a following of student admirers in her first year back at her Alma Mater. Mr. Stukes is registrar of the school and dean of the faculty. The conversation turna to dollars and cents when Mr. R. B. Cunningham and Mr. J. C. Tart get together. Mr. Cun- ningham is the shrewd business man- ager, known for his keen sense of humor and his willingness to stop on the quad- rangle for long chats with the students. Mr. Tart, quick-witted and energetic, is efficiency personified in his dealings with patrons of the bank.
