Zimmerman (Picture on Page 17) Dean of College Women Miriam Barge Dean of High School Girls Administrative Staff The members of the Administrative Staff, while not meeting with the students in the classroom for forma! instruction, help to mold the lives of the students through informal contacts, and by working “behind the scenes.” With the development of our school into a four-year college, the Library has been expanding at a rapid rate. Our College Librarian is giving unselfishly of her time to the building up of an adequate library to meet the needs of a growing institution. Although carrying the heavy responsibilities of supervising the building program, doing all the purchasing for the College, supervising the employees of the College, as well as a hundred and one other duties, our Business Manager always has time for a friendly smile and a cheery “Hello” as he meets students in the halls or in his office. The Dean of College Women, Dean of High School Girls, and Dean of Men seek to build Christian character, give vocational guidance, and lead students into a deeper Christian experience through formal interviews, the daily prayer circle periods, and friend- ly informal chats with the students.

Business education is taught with a special emphasis upon the application of Christian principles to business; instruc- tion in the practical arts is in harmony with the Mennonite way of life. The physical education program recognizes the importance of health to a life of service; the fine arts gain new significance as means of adorning Christian personality which is dedicated to enriching the lives of others. The major aim of every teacher is to help each student to a more meaningful Chris- tian experience. To provide a training which will produce capable servants for God is the ultimate goal of the department. The final authority to which all other truth is sub- ordinate is the truth of the Word of God. [ 19 J THY WORD IS TRUTH. —A. Grace Wenger.
