Administrative Officers IflPl WM 7 Kiefer B. Sauls John E. Hayes E.H.Holt B. T. Higgs One of the men who best upholds Brigham Young University ' s tradition of being a friendly school is John E. Hayes, the registrar. He is the first to greet us at registration and the last to bid us farewell with a transcript. He says himself: The more or less intimate acquaint- ance with and the friendship of the thousands of students I have been able to serve during my connection with the Registrar ' s office has given me the utmost pleasure and lasting satis- faction. Students of the school will also re- member Registrar Hayes for his quiet and amiable disposition. When students wish advice, money, or infor- mation, Treasurer Holt is usually the source to which they go. For many years he has had the responsibility of handling the funds of the school and is well-acquainted with the details of the administration as well. He has even been called upon to act as temporary presi- dent, and for many years, he has taught several classes in the commercial department, chiefly shorthand, business English and office practice. Treasurer Holt has seen numerous transitions in the school and in his duties, but has success- fully adjusted to them. Behind every executive there is a secretary. He is the detail man; the index to all that has happened and all that is scheduled. For many years this important position has been filled by Kiefer Sauls, secretary to President Harris. He has accompanied the president abroad and served him at home until he has become al- most indispensable. In addition to these many duties, Mr. Sauls is the purchasing agent for the entire school and handles many thousands of dollars every year. Since the early days of the school when there was no upper campus and when there were no gas furnaces, B. T. Higgs has had charge of keeping the buildings and grounds in order. His responsibility has grown until he now has a large number of students engaged in campus work under his direction, and a wide variety of duties. He has probably had as many different people to satisfy as anyone in the in- stitution and he has done it commendably. Custodian Higgs has also been one of the im- portant factors in the cooperation between the school and the students seeking employment. wrrorw n fmmtwm

President Franklin S. Harris TW -WV J -J JV ? Greetings to the students. This Banyan should be one of the most prized of any that has ever been issued, since it is dedicated to the memory of that great man of Brigham Young University, President George H. Brimhall. The Banyan gains in value with the passing of the years. When in after life we are able to turn through its pages and have recalled to our minds the pleasant associations of college days, we get a real thrill. Franklin S. Harris Under the administration of President Har- ris, the institution has grown from a mere hand- ful of three or four hundred students to a great school of sixteen hundred. This growth has taken place in one decade, and it might have even been greater had not lack of means cur- tailed expansion of facilities. President Harris is loved and respected by all students who know him. He is sympathetic and democratic, yet firm in the enforcement of the regulations found necessary for the suc- cessful operation of a Latter-day Saint school.

Every economy possible was effected who, with the cooperation of the student body officers put it over in an excellent manner. An innovation in the form of a Frosh Trek was sponsored by the Blue Key and support- ed by the year ' s officers. Several hundred and a great deal of unnecessary expense was avoided in guiding the student body through 1932-33. The year ' s beginning was climaxed with the students consisting of all the freshmen and a great homecoming program in which the stu- good representation of upper classmen gath- dent body officers played a vital part. Every- ered about six-thirty and after an assembly one who recalls it will think of the most per- program in College Hall began the trek feet day in the school ' s his- tory: a cloudless sky, an im- pressive parade with ten bands and a brilliant array of color, a gorgeous bit of pageantry in the stadium, then the unfor- getable victory over the Utah Aggies and the dance at night formally rounding out the cele- bration.
