Evelyn W. Ga ADMINISTRATION The staff in the Registrar ' s office was always ready to help students, and they were responsible for many activities necessary to the smooth functioning of the college. Headed by Dr. Samuel Guerry Stakes, they carried out duties which included publishing the col- lege catalogue and keeping records on each student. Miss Laura Steele, assistant Registrar and Director of Admissions, corresponded with prospective students and interviewed those who visited the college. Secre- taries in the Registrar ' s Office were special students, Barbara Duval and Jean Knapp. Mr. Edward McNair was the Director of Development. The Alumnae Association was recognized as an im- portant part of the Agnes Scott community. Not only have the members in recent years annually contributed to the college a sum of money equal to a million dol- lars of endowment, but they have also helped to pro- vide a vocational service and to maintain the Alumnae house as a guest home for the college. Miss Anne Worthy Johnson and Miss Barbara Northey served in the capacities of Director of Publicity and as Director of Admissions. The Book Store, managed by Mrs. Evelyn W. Gar- wood, sold books and refreshments and was an ideal between-class gathering spot for students and faculty. s Steele; Barbara Northey: Anne Worthy John Eloise H. Ketchin and Mary P. Chapman

ADMINISTRATION As students passed the administrative offices on the first floor of Buttrick. they heard the tapping of type- writers and the sound of cheery voices and they glimpsed pleasant smiles. The administrative officers were capably and efficiently tending to the business of the college. Mrs. Paul Turner, Dr. Alston ' s secretary, might be found drawing up the weekly calendar or typing birthday greetings to students in addition to her other duties. Mr. J. B. Tart. Treasurer, managed the school bank, the post office and book store, took care of tuitions and paid school bills. He was ably assisted by Mrs. Jerry Marshall, a newcomer to Agnes Scott in 195.5 from Kentucky. The Business Manager, Mr. P. J. Rogers, Jr. was busy with the building of the new dormitory. He handled everything bought for the col- lege, from smallest erasers to dining room furniture. His secretary. Miss Jo Ann Dodson. was new to Agnes Scott in 1955 but was not new to the community. The work of Mr. Dexter White, Engineer, and his staff, extended to all parts of the campus community and included tending the steam plant, fixing knocking rad- iators and preparing Presser Hall for chapel services.

Marjorie Noell. and Harriet Ashley. Their friendly and interested atti- tude made this office a center of the Agnes Scott com- munity where everyone was welcome.
