The personalities behind the desks . . . GENIAL MEN AND WOMEN W1-Io BECAME FAST FRIENDS OW many spokes in a wheel? Nature al- ways collects. This is Dean HOPKINS. Known, revered, feared, this abrupt, jolly char- acter exemplifies individualism and zestful living at its best. Ever conscious of the vastness of natural life and living, the Dean revives deadened person- alities vvith vigor and vitality. To this institution of service, free thought, and strength, homage is due. A valid equation of Chris- tian living is Professor IN- GOLD, the sum total of thirty-seven years of solutions, both mathematical and life- matical. Teacher and preach- er, this monument of industry and utility verifies the truth of Johnson: life, like any other blessing, derives its value from its use alone. To the many churches he has served, and to students of many years this expression reveals his personality. His ladder problem and the new short wave radio station vividly recalls to mind, that vital force, Professor BOYDSTON, who can make a two hour lecture seem like a ten minute chat. Ever searching, ever aiding, Doctor BROWN reveals mysteries through the test tube. He is a scientific genius who has no peer Prof. Ingold in his chosen field of chemistry.

Another headache . . . REGISTRANT AND REGISTRAR CCORDING to Webster the process of registration is for the registrant to appear at the registry before the registrar to be registered . . . but Webster never went to Culver-Stockton! Unsuspecting Freshmen just walked into the gymnasium and beheld a half-moon of desks with the Dean gracing the head of the semicircle and Mr. Stout at the exit-in the intervening space were the faculty seated, bored, disgruntled, disgusted, complacent in their knowledge of the pro- cedure-due to a preceeding faculty meeting. Little did the Freshmen know what was in store for them. With light-hearted enthusiasm they began-seasoned upper-classmen sighed and prepared for the trial. First, at Mr. Spencer's desk the students received blue cards, white cards, cards, cards . . . car-owning students searched for the Dean-Freshmen and most of the upper-classmen purchased matriculation card before they could approach the enrollment entanglement. Not to be dis- mayed, the students waded through dozens of forms, questions, etc. The next step was to stand in the lineup before the scrutiny Amid the hustle 2114 the , , scurry of registration of the Dean. Mistakes-curt remarks about learning to follow direction, new cards and life began to assume the proportions of a bowl of sour grapes . . . Finally passed, the Freshmen and uppe'r-classmen attempted to make prearranged schedules concur with classes changed at the last moment by profs who didn't want to get up for a 7:40, or liked to sleep an hour after lunch. Back and forth across the gym floor- conferences-arguments-more walking- uncertain professors-the boy friend wait- ing impatiently-signing for any course in desperation-stifling heat-class cards -instructions . . . finished . . . Not yet- there was Mr. Stout-another long line- I'll have the money soon, Mr. Stout. - everything completed. As the students dragged themselves from the ordeal, some- body was saying, Geez, it was simple this year! Lineup on registration day Eleven

Religion is living. No more valid proof of this assumption can be found than in the many years of Doctor ROBISON. As a creator of logical thinking and ethical reasoning, this young- est old mind stands unsurpassed. Respected for his sound judgment this venerable sage makes Christianity assume greater significance and scope to those who sit at his feet. Keen in his inquiry, sound in his mental processes, none can leave this intellect without gain- ing some new proportion of life. Truly he is the herald of tomor- row's achievement in the vast science of fruitful living. New, this year, to the Hill, Doctor EDGAR has already won a niche of respect and friendship from discerning students. Stirring Dr. Robison the embers of latent minds and adding fuel to undernourished l thought is the accomplishment of this young but profound per- sonality. Universally accepted as a prince of a fellow, Professor Stephen B. WILLIAMS is an accomplished pianist, a versatile organist, an excellent choir director, and an understanding friend and coun- selor to all that flock around him. A fine wit and an ability to provide a never-ending flow of entertainment combined with his complete personality makes Mr. Steve a more than welcome addi- tion to any group. His choir members know him for his patience, his humor, and his aptitude in blending a host of voices and in- if Dr- Edgar dividuals into a melodious whole. The man with the fiddle is Professor Ralph YOUNG, whose endeavor is recognized by all interested in instrumental music. Handicapped in the past, Mr. Young presented a band of note this year, and his string quartet shows evidence of earnest and talented efforts. A nationally known composer and concert pianist, Mr. JOHNSON is unique for his interest in collegiate musical hopefuls. He combines dignity and poise with under- standing and talent to produce a more than adequate composition of life. Another newcomer to the Hill this year is Miss EARL. Combining lines and color to form pleasing pictures is the attainment of this personality, whether on canvas, paper or in dresses . . . If anyone thinks this is all the faculty, they're badly mistaken. I Prof. Williams Prof. Young Mr. Johnson Miss Earl Thirteen
