In a letter to the College, Bartky made it clear that the Navy still wanted to utilize his services and so he would remain Commander until at least the start of the ' 46 fall semester. However, back from the services did come George W. Boyle to resume his job of assistant to the president, William Wattenberg to give the edu- cation department a lift, and John Carter to resume his teaching post in the English department. Other returnees included W. Wilbur Hatfield and Clarence Gilford from sabbatical, and Bernice Boye and James Sanders from leave of absence. Faculty, administration and students mourned the passing of their teacher, friend and colleague in the death of Alta M. Turk in March. Miss Turk ' s ten years in the English department made her position a hard one to fill. Florence C. Ballenger has taken over her class work and has done an exceptional job. With the increased student enrollment due to returning veterans, several new divisions were cre- ated to which Kathryn Cramer, Harlan Hagman and Mary Kirkpatrick of the music, education, and math , K Commander John A. Bartky, Ph.D. President (on Military leave) departments, respectively, were called. Through the year the faculty lost Harry J. Osterhart and Paul Glenister, the latter of whom is at Wilson Junior College. The administration line-up saw James I. Swear- ingen still top man, Boyle as assistant president, Louise C. Robinson as dean and Emma Fleer Muller as the ever efficient registrar. Back to his teaching duties went genial Bill Kaiser who was filling in for Boyle. Biggest headache, although a pleasant one for the administration, was the job of getting the returning servicemen reorientated back into their roles as students. Faculty members were able to complete the year without drastic changes in the curriculum. Late in April the new practice teaching setup was an- nounced after senior class members were called in to supply their ideas on what could be done to make practice more worthwhile. In December Mr. Swear- ingen announced the innovation of a CTC-Wash- burne program that is intended to alleviate the shortage of shop instructors. Even as these new routines are to go into action, the constant efforts to secure a well balanced edu- cational program continues. The war ' s end brought little peace to the administration faculty whose war for better education is never ended. James L Swearingen, M.S. Acting President 10
