Dr. Henry T. Shanks Dean of the College Through his doors have passed the majority of students — for ad- vice, for praise and encouragement or gentle chiding. He is the important link between student and professor, student and home, student and the long card marked permanent record . He is also the students ' best friend, loved, admired, and respected by every goggle-eyed freshman and harried senior. Their only regret is that administrative duties keep him from teaching more history classes. Francis P. Gaines Dean of Men No job too big for his lofty height and tremendous ability, Mr. Gaines oversees fraternity functions, is Assistant to the President, keeps track of organi- zations, is faculty advisor to the Execu- tive Council and the publications, coach- es a championship tennis team, and fur- thermore, delivers lively lectures on American history. Mary Holmes Sensabaugh Dean of Women Friendly, vivacious, energetic, Mrs. Sensabaugh directs the women ' s activities on the Hilltop. The dormitory and Stockham her ciomain, she quietly man- ages resident women, and weathers the 5torm of rushing and receptions with greatly admired ability and charm. Ne-wman M. Yeilding Treasurer Robert W. Walston Bursar The financial brain trust for the college, Mr. Yeilding and Mr. Walston plan and execute the school ' s economy with the tops in administrative skill. With expansion on next year ' s program and finances in their capable hands, the forecast for the future may safely be written in gold.

DR. GEORGE R. STUARl -7L PRESIDENT One has to go no farther than the President to find the keynote of Birmingham-Southern —friendliness, ability, leadership. To the hundreds of alumni and civic associates with whom he works, Jack Stuart is a recognized educational and civic leader. To all the students he is not only the college ' s capable and respected chief administrator but a personal friend. You can find him in the Bookstore adding his two-bits worth to a faculty-student bull ses- sion, or in the Cellar mixing coffee with good humor and brainy talk. When you meet him on the campus he can call you by your first name. When he takes to the lectern at Munger, he doesn ' t lecture, he just talks the kind of talk that students understand. The sound of his booming voice coming through the panelled walls and glass doors of the office marked President has a reassuring quality. You know that behind that voice is a man with strength, abili ty, and foresight, under whose leadership the college will steadily grow to greater heights.
