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.

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.

SENIOR OFFICERS: Seated: George Langeler, pres- ident. Standing: Edith Mae George, secretary; Marvin Engelsdorfer, treasurer; James Schneider, vice-president. WHO ' S WHO Each year, the authors of Who ' s Who among College Students in American Universities and Colleges compile a list of the outstanding senior students of that year, basing their choice upon such things as high scholastic achievements, leadership, ability, character, and willingness to cooperate as indicated in extra-curricular ac- tivities. Elmhurst College students have been included in this book since 1941. It is a widely known fact that this volume provides a source book for industries and businesses and makes possible a wide variety of benefits for prospective employers as well as for the graduating students who are listed in the publication. This year nine Elmhurst College seniors have been honored by inclusion in the 1949 edition of Who ' s Who. They are Lois Sonneborn, Mary- Louise Olsson, Ruth Stoerker, Daniel Lehmann, August Molnar, James Schneider, George Langeler, Paul Achtemeier, and Warren Mc- Govney. This past year showed the biggest senior class in Elmhurst ' s history enjoying its final year at the college. Many hours were spent worrying about such things as a shortage of senior college hours and grade points. Catching up on activi- ties for which they never could find time also gave them a more than crowded schedule — but they enjoyed it immensely. The senior informal and the Student-Faculty Show were their projects for the year. The show again came through with the same high reputa- tion that it has always had. A Senior Week program planned as a final celebration for the class was very well organized so that everyone was assured of an enjoyable time. The contribution of the combined treasury and proceeds of the Student-Faculty Show to the New Dormitory Fund constituted the senior class gift. It is hoped that the senior interest in this project will light the way for those who follow. WHO ' S WHO MEMBERS: Sealed: Lois Sonneborn Mary Louise Olsson, Ruth Stoerker.
