Mr. Howard Brown, auditor, sees that the books balance; Mrs. Florence L. Cosgrove, bursar, has the job of making the necessary financial arrangements with the students and also distributes student pay . Mrs. Kross also aids in the efficient handling of the financial duties of the college. Serving the students at any emergency, the student-nurses have had a sizeable job giving proper medical treatment, including that of particular cases of mumps and chicken pox which kept cropping out during the winter months. The registered nurses working in the infirmary this year were Ruth Johnsen, Jean Thornton, and Aileen Sterchi. Mrs. Hermann, house mother for the girls in South Hall, has a position comparable to that in children ' s rhyme about the person who had so many children she didn ' t know what to do. Miss Diane Low, the new secretary to the School of Music since the beginning of 1949, has proved to be a very pleasant acquaintance with House mother and counsellor of South Hall, Mrs. Hermann.

Upper: Miss Jane Beckman, secretary to Mr. Krohne. Lower: General office staff: Mrs. B. Cummings, J. Moore, Miss Gayla Bruce, Mrs. A. Schaeffer. One of the busiest men on campus is none other than our own Business Manager, Mr. Ted Krohne. Mr. Krohne ' s services are in such demand that he has, in addition to his new appointment, retained his old post of Director of Public Relations for the college as well as being the acting secretary for the Alumni As- sociation and the faculty advisor for the Elm Bark, the weekly publication of the Student Union. As Business Manager, Mr. Krohne ' s duties have consisted of such things as the purchasing of new equipment, supervising the use of present equipment, and the procuring of adequate food supplies for the Commons. As Publicity Direc- tor, he has provided means whereby the name and function of Elmhurst College may be kept before the public. To those who know him best, Mr. Krohne, a quiet-spoken man with a genial disposition and a disarming smile, has done much to promote Elmhurst in these last few years in which the enrollment has more than doubled, and has bent every effort to make the students ' stay here at Elmhurst a smooth and pleasant one. He is also handy with a camera. One of the greatest helps to Mr. Krohne in his office in Kranz Hall is the capable help of his faithful secretary, Miss Jane Beckman. To her falls the task of performing the many clerical duties inevitably associated with such an office. Also helping in the work of Public Relations is Miss Williamson, who goes about to the vari- ous high schools and interested groups, using field publicity techniques as a representative of Elmhurst College. The one office that every student invariably enteres before very long is that of the General Office. It is here that all student files are kept and where all reports are .compiled. Those patient ladies who work in the General Office are Mrs. Alma Schaeffer, secretary to President Dinkmeyer; Miss Gayla Bruce, secre- tary to the deans; and Mrs. Bette Cummings, the switchboard operator.

The technical problems of the campus rest upon its chief engineer, Paul Hein and his helpers such as Roy Wiemerslage and Walter Pfaff who does the carpentry work. Ultimately, when it come to maintenance of the campus, Emil VonderOhe is the man to see. Helping Emil in this task is Birl Mooney, in charge of Irion Hall; his wife, Betty, is in charge of South Hall. Pete Maier takes care of the gym and sets up the chairs and bleachers. Inga Albright, the chief cook and dietician for the Commons, has the huge task of feeding the hungry line of students three times each day. Those helping her are Nellie Caldwell, Grace Marwood, and Amelia Wagner. Their jobs get bigger every year, but they seem to handle the task admirably. Mrs. E. Voigt has always faithfully carried out her duties as hostess and matron of Commons.
