the Ball State News and Orient during World War II when manpower, money and supplies were scarce. Both wartime and peacetime found Mrs. DeMotte giving freely of her time and help for her students. For many she found publications jobs and even today keeps in regular touch with them, some of whom have become quite successful. Mrs. DeMotte instituted the founding of a chap- ter of Alpha Phi Gamma, journalism honorary, at Ball State. She also established the workings of the publicity office, now the news bureau. SUSAN TRANE Each year, when Kallista art club has its an- nual art auction, the name of Miss Susan Trane gains extra prominence. The late Miss Trane, who was head emeritus of the art department, was a well known figure both at Ball State and in art circles throughout the entire country. During her 26 years at Ball State, from 1922 until 1948, Miss Trane helped to establish the fine reputation still borne by the art department. A lover of travel, she spent several of her leaves of absence studying and sightseeing in Europe. On one such trip she did extensive studying of Italian art and architecture in Naples and Rome. Another time she attended an international art conference. She had also traveled throughout the continental United States and Alaska. Miss Trane had had numerous speaking engage- ments in Indiana and often had opportunity to tell of Ball State summer art conferences. BARCUS TICHENOR Miss Barcus Tichenor, librarian emeritus, came to Ball State in 1921 when it was still an infant of three years. At that time, the library was housed in the Administration building and Miss Tichenor had entire charge of its 6112 volumes with only one student helper who worked in the afternoons. Miss Tichenor, therefore, saw many improvements in the entire library setup before her retirement in 1947 after 26 years here. A native Hoosier, she now lives in Indianapolis where she graduated from Shortridge High School and Butler University. Her experience prior to her coming to Ball State included library work at Pur- due University and in the catalog department of the Indianapolis library. She traveled in Europe during the summer of 1923. She has done graduate work at the University of Illinois, Butler, Radcliffe College and the school of library science, Columbia University.
