1 'T l Dr. Ash Mrs. Roberts Prof. Crink Dr. Knapp An insatiable thirst for the hnest in the field of letters is characteristic of this tall, bespectacled, individualistic thinker. Doctor ASI-l is known for his love of literature and his lectures which encompass all of living, yet contain vast stores of truth for the inquiring mind. Reveling in the desire of an open mind to know and reaping great rewards in blasting convention- . locked mentalities are the pastime and labor of this unusual i and unconquered intellect. There need be no fear for the propo- gation of literature so long as there are personalities such as Dr. Ash. English is a science, but becomes an art when used. In- tensely interested in student's progress and expansion, Mrs. ROBERTS presents not only a concise and correct perspective of English mechanics to those who would strive, but a bulwark of encouragement and modernism as well. Students never go to sleep in Professor CRlNK'S speech and drama classes-they never have the opportunity. A dynamic current of energy and ability is evidenced by the fine dramatic productions, the records of the forensic organization, and last but not least, the quantity of term papers produced each semester. Progressive education is not only a necessity but a coming reality. Such is the introduction to Doctor KNAPP, ever- interested in student problems, trends of thought, and attitudes of behavior and conduct. Freshmen know him as the conductor of adaptability and psychology exams which tl1I'11 daylight into darkness the first of the school year, but later he emerges as a vital and integral factor in determining more complete approaches to this problem known to so very few as the art of living. His is the task of checking the finished product of college training in the field of higher education-a responsibility that he handles well. The Reference Book of Culver-Stockton is appropriate for Mr. SPENCER, who has spent long hours in rebuilding the college's fire-depleted liabrary. I-le is always ready to expend any effort to aid a seeker in his search for the truth. Upsetting pet theories of education, students finds Professor ELLIS at his best. Hu- morous and entertaining, he never lets his classes become dull. Mr. Spencer Prof. Ellis F mwteen

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

Unveiling the pages of the annuals of the history of mankind is competently ac- complished by Doctor HEATON, student, scholar, instructor, and observer. Com- manding history, music, religion, philosophy and politics, and correlating them into a coherent whole to present a composite picture of the past in the unusual achievement of this capable individual. I-le is at his best when creating valid analogies of past and present events. Custodian of the Bookshop, Professor I-IOOTMAN equips many students with a thorough and complete knowledge of the fundamentals and rudiments of business ad- ministration, business law, and accounting. Economics unravels in its complexity in his revealing lectures and practices. 1 -eee- eWe-Mwf--f--- A chattering room of flying fingers producing ream after ' ream of typewritten pages is evidence of Mrs. BOYDSTON, who exposes the secrets of those funny little curls which is the creation of shorthand. Efiiciency in office administration is complete proof of her fine work. A mustache, a twinkle, and a command of the modern lang- uages is the boast of Professor ELKINS. The secrets and intrac- acies of French and German are exposed in his interesting class- room. Modern in his approach, yet thorough in his scope, Mr. Elkins provides all who would learn with ample and complete tools to mould foreign tongues into understandable syllables. The Mighty Mite of the M.C.A.U. is significant of Coach SCOTT, who has produced a championship football team for the first time in the history of the school. Known and respected by all, Scotty ever strives toward a full physical education pro- gram. He is a forceful, driving individual, yet understanding and helpful, who places a supreme value on his men and sportsmanship. , Another newcomer to the Culver-Stockton campus this year is MISS OTTERBACHER, who builds feminine bodies without exposing muscles to the critical eye. She has captured the fellow- ship of otherwise languid creatures in a frenzy of physical activity -which is no mean accomplishment.
