Unlike the ordinary type of revenue collector , Father Griffin is one of the most popular figures on campus. His extraordinary wit, blended with a pleasant disposition and a comprehensive understanding of each individuals prob' lems, rates him the affection and respect of all with whom he comes in contact. Father Griffin is also a fine speaker and an excellent diplomat. These qualifications render him invaluable to the school in this regard, and place him in great demand as a speaker for local groups. He is also the Regional Director of the Red Gross, and the advisor to the Chapter here on cam- pus. Mr. John B. Hynes, Business Manager Rev. Th omas F. Griffin, Treasurer Mr. Hynes is the tight-fisted, conservative man with .1 kee for business who protects the money of the college in commercial bargains. Rumors have it that he isn't quite so hard-hearted as he pre' tends to be, but rather has a pretty warm heart. It is he who pro- vides the faculty and students with the physical equipment nece for the progress of our education. His most famous trademark is the pipe which you will invariably find with him. Mr. Latimer is the school accountant as well as being an in structor in Accounting. Although he is generally busy over the books, he never shuns a student who needs assistance with assign ments. He is a pleasant fellow with a ready answer to any comment directed his way. Mr. Wil iiiHi Latimer, B.S., Accountant — 21

John E. Waldron, M.A. Dean of Instruction Dean John Waldron is the genial per' sonality whose responsihility it is to sched- ule the subjects to be taught, and the time and place of each class. He supervises the beloved Orals and Comprehensives which the Seniors gleefully await (??) each year. Dean Waldron is a friendly port in any emergency; he is the man who can give the most prudent answers to many prob- lems. His solutions to our problems and his timely remarks have made him highly re- gard and respected by the student body and faculty alike. Reverend Horbert J . Wolf, M.A. Dean of Men Father Wolf, in his position as Dean of Men, has varied duties to carry out, most of which deal with affairs pertaining to students activities and functions, both academic and and relations between the students and the administration. Because he is the officer upon whom falls the duty of enforcing college policies and rules, it would be a safe assumption that he is in no position to be popular — but this is not the case at all. Victims of his staunch dexter- ity are well aware that his righteousness is founded upon obligaton; on the other hand, many times students are the beneficiaries of his sincere efforts, for he is constantly striv- ing toward the good of the school in general, and thus, the students in particular. As the Student Council faculty advisor he has guided this governing group, aided them in their decisions, and taken part in their activities. We hope that Father Wolf and his six-guns will long be a part of the subse- quent Halloween Parties. — 20 —
