AMOS C. STANBROU GH, the oldest living ,r actuate of Pacific College, is a young man in spirit. Just ask those who have heard him miraculously make Oregon history live as he tells of Ewing Young ' s exploits, or heard him stir their souls as he unfolds the marvels of the universe. For Mr. Stanbrough is professor of physics and mathematics, though he has taught Oregon history, too. It ' s a valuable experience to have known Mr. Stanbrough. Mrs. FLORA STONE is the little lady who always seems to be in a hurry. She is the piano and organ instructor from McMinnville who has done so much for so many struggling pianists this year. An artist herself, Mrs. Stone is unusually patient and understanding with her pupils. Ask her to play for you some time. It ' s a thrill! Miss MARY SUTTON is the patient lady who attempts to straighten out befuddled freshmen (and seniors) in this terrifying experience of registration. Besides this duty, she teaches biology and German and serves on more com- mittees than ' most anyone. An active member of the Newberg Friends church, she teaches a Sunday school class there. Professor OLIVER WEESNER has been a permanent fixture at Pacific College since 1909. Many, many students have learned from him the intricacies of math and related sub- jects, for he is the head of the mathematics department. He is a quiet, unassuming little man, but a mighty force at Pacific College. Big ORAL TISH is the new instructor in the Bible department. Just a kid himself, his class discussions are right along the lines of interest of his students. His three adorable youngsters and very pretty wife take up most of his spare time, and his counseling of the college crowd has already proven invaluable.

Instructing the business courses this year is Mrs. BARBARA BRIGHTUP. Besides her teaching duties, she also takes a few courses and manages successfully her vet ' s house. This is Mrs. Brightup ' s first year as instructor at Pacific. She was a student here a year ago. A man who lives as if For to me to live is Christ were his motto is PAUL M. MILLS, head of the Bible department. With sixteen years of pastoral work and two years evangelistic work to his credit, this prof is unusually well qualified to help students find their place in life. He ' s one to whom anyone can go for help. He ' s fearless and God-centered. He ' s Prof. Mills, the student ' s favorite. Professor of Sociology and Economics is PERRY. D. MACY. Mr. Macy has had much ex- perience in educational work in various parts of the country. His classes are livened up by his inexhaustible store of jokes. If it ' s a genuine Macy, the story is bound to be good. He owns and operates his own farm near Springbrook, Oregon. FLOYD K. RILEY has a way about him. A very successful speech teacher is this man, who serves as head of the speech department. Full of an interesting brand of humor, he ' s a teacher with a real punch. You can ' t help but learn when you ' re in Riley ' s class, a student once observed. Real estate work takes up his time after school hours. LAURENCE F. SKENE, who is now on leave of absence to engage in relief work in Palestine, is Professor of Chemistry. He is expected to be back to his teaching duties probably by the beginning of the school year in 1949. Mr. Skene has a wife and daughter who will join Pacific in welcoming him home.
