k n H I » I Ross McCain at his desk. When we think of Agnes Scott, our thoughts immedi- ately turn to Dr. McCain, its able president, just as his first regard is for Agnes Scott. His genuine interest in the college has shown itself in h is constant striving towards its educational and physical growth. That his intelligent lead- ership is recognized, not only by those who live every day on the campus, but also by business men and educators, can be seen in the number of offices which he holds in various educational organizations. He is the newly-elected president of the Association of Georgia Colleges, and a member of the executive committee of the Southern Uni- versity of Colleges. He is also a senator of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. Sincerity and simphcity are the characteristics which cause chapel programs led by Dr. McCain to be remembered long after graduation. Despite his dignity, he enters whole- heartedly, like a true sport, into the campus activities; and every faculty-student hockey game sees him holding valiantly his position as goalie; and every A. A. Fair finds him riding the merry-go-round and drinking pink lemon- ade. He is never too busy to listen sympathetically to students ' requests and problems. The President His secretary. Miss Laura Steel, is an Agnes Scott graduate of ' 37. She was prominent in campus activities as editor of the Agonistic, as the weekly publication was then called, and as a member of Mortar Board. Her present position keeps her busily occupied taking care of Dr. McCain ' s varied activities and corre- spondence. She is swamped by letters and com- petitive examination entries from prospective students. She fulfills the qualifications of an ideal secretary, in keeping both her personal and office articles in good order. Miss Smith, Miss Torrance, and Mr. Holt, as the members of the Electives Committee, are indispensable to the upperclassmen, whose credits they check and recheck to make sure that each one has completed a sufficient number of hours for graduation or class standing. Miss Smith, Miss Torrance and Mr . Holt check on those blue cards
