Who ' s Who The first edition of Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Uni- versities was printed in 1934. In- cluded is a list of college and uni- versity students who have proved outstanding in character, scholar- ship, leadership, and capacity for future usefulness to society. Each year outstanding students are given this distinction of list- ing among the foremost Ameri- can youth. Who ' s Who has several pur- poses : to be an incentive for stu- dents to get the best results from their college experiences, to com- pensate students for genuine achievements, to serve as a stand- ard of measurement for students comparable to that of other rec- ognized scholastic and service or- ganizations, and to recommend successful students to the busi- ness world. Student Council The Student Council is a rep- resentative body serving as a go- between for students and fac- ulty. It consists of nine students, two from each class, one non- resident, together with the two dormitory counselors and the university president. Students el- igible for election to the council are nominated by the faculty. The names are then presented to the respective classes and voted upon. Regular meetings are held each Thursday, with the council presi- dent and vice-president alter- nately presiding. It is one of the many duties of the Student Council to present to the faculty any and all sugges- tions or problems presented by the students. B. Batson, Vice-President ; W. Tressler, A.

Camera Club The Camera Club is composed of the group of students who are interested in photography. Mem- bers are instructed in the funda- mentals of picture-taking, devel- oping, printing and enlarging. At its disposal the club has a well- equipped dark-room, flood-lights and other necessary equipment for the amateur. Members de- light in the magnificent mountain scenery surrounding the univer- sity campus and take full advan- tage of the picture-taking oppor- tunity. Wartime shortage of film and supplies has curtailed activi- ties this past year, and compelled thrifty use of cameras. Neverthe- less, many delightful scenes and events have been snapped to preserve memories of happy hours. Standing — M. Miller, F. Lance, C. Miller, B. Birch, M. Rogers, Prof. Fish, W. Tressler, J.

Shaded spots on the gently rolling, tree-cov- ered campus provide an ideal set- ting for archery, and the merry laughter of the spectators and the determined expressions on the faces of those who draw the bow indicate the combination of pleasure and seriousness with which the archers approach their sport. Despite the many demands on time and energy which compete for the student ' s attention, arch- ery serves a useful function in the recreational life of the uni- versity.

Hermits ' Hall Hermits ' Hall has been the men ' s dormitory for Bryan stu- dents during the past six years. Twelve spacious rooms provide living quarters for the her- mits, this year hailing from ten different states. I ' rom eight o ' clock in the evening until six o ' clock in the morning silence reigns throughout its halls, save for occasional backslidings when a mysteriously-propelled tin can or two clatters down the corri- dor. Late on a Sunday evening the occupants of Hermits ' Hall kneel together in one of the rooms, reverently petitioning the Heavenly Father to bless them together with true fellowship and unity of mind. Many are the hearts that have been touched for Christ within the walls of Her- mits ' I-iall. V. Sorge, W. Tressler, S. Hemberger, C. Miller, D, Baker, F. Lance, E. Miller, Prof. Fish, Counselor; J.

Rev. and Mrs. Brownlee — familiarly known as Pop and Mom — are counsel- ors, comrades, and sympathetic friends to the girls, comforting homesick freshmen or heartsick seniors with equal impartiality. The spacious central lobby, into which all the rooms open, is the center of social life for the girls. Used for study, for parties, for ] rayer-meetings, and on Satur- day nights for dates, the lobby is attractively furnished offering a homey, cheerful welcome to the Octagonettes and their friends.
