Professor of Secretarial Studies lf it's a problem you have, the one person to help you is Dean Stickney for her association with girls has been a long one. Besides teaching school and attending additional classes Saturday mornings, Dean Stickney saves part of her vim, vigor, and vitality for E.T.C.A, conventions, She truthfully admits that these conventions are not all work. NELSON J. GULSKI, MS, in B A., CPA, fMasst Professor of Accounting and Investments Dean of Seniors As Professor of Accounting and Dean of the BA, department Mr Gulski is very diligent and thorough in his efforts to make accountants of those who want to be accountants-and others in the class No problem is too trivial to straighten out and whenever an example is needed, one is provided, For instance, one day, when he had change in his pocket he used the two cents his wife gave him for lunch to illustrate surplus.

MR. E. GARDNER JACOBS, MS. in C. Vice-President and Director of Admissions Mr. Jacobs attended Manlius School, and later came to Bryant, graduating here in l92l. ln his spare time he gives the Tau Ep boys advice and tips on bowling, MISS CLARA BLANEY, B.C.S. Director of Publicity and Public Relations Miss Blaney's job is to see that outsiders know about Bryant and that the students get better acquainted with their College and its activities. She is the spirit behind On the Campus and the Alumni Bulletin , writes the College catalogs, and the one who straightens out problems confronting the editors of the yearbook. Her influence and enthusiasm reach beyond students to alumni with especial attention to all the Bryant rnen in the armed forces. The Bryant Service Club is her special baby and she is always happiest on those days when the BSC, is swamping the post office with packages of candy, cigarettes, sweaters, socks, letters and other things on their way to Bryant fighting men in all parts of the world, MR. JOHN LOGAN ALLAN, MS. in Acct. Executive Secretary Mr. Allan is a graduate of Bryant and has been with the College since l9l9 as a member of the Administrative Staff, He has been besieged lately with queries from the dorm girls as to why they can't have more butter for dinner, and so forth. l-lis absent-minded answers convince us his mind is not alone on wartime food restrictions but also on Bridge, MR. HAROLD S. RIPLEY, BS, in BA. Director of Placements and Student Welfare There's one man at Bryant who knows more about a stu- dent than the student himself does. lvlr. I2ipley's business is to know every student's scholastic standing, ability, and personality so that the employer can be given the person best suited to the job, As the student progresses, teachers and Deans watch his or her character development and study habits, and any other information which may give a clear picture of the student's character is collected in Mr. Ripley's files. Around the campus Mr. Ripley's friendly smile is his trademark and he is always glad to be of service at any time Nine

Although he has been given nicknames such as Sunshine , Chingo , and others not to be mentioned here, we seem to like his brand of humor and work even harder toward ninety-eight, his maximum grade. He indulges in pounding the blackboard to further emphasize an illustration in class, while on the campus his pipe is his tradesmark, His home town is Seekonk, Mass., better known among the bus-drivers as Skunk Hollow . The athlete of the Secretarial Department is Miss Cook. Who knows probably - she may be in the next Olympics, Miss Cook was fortunate to take a week's vacation 5.15 iv this year-no, not in Florida, She had the measles!
