AR posters have replaced the riot of gay flowers that once colored the win- dows 0f the Presidents House; those delicate bouquets were an emblem of the gracious, cultural hospitality of Goucher at peace. T oday, glaring war posters constantly remind the students of the sacrifices demanded by total war. This change from flowers to posters is symbolic of a changing Goucher, a college awakening to a full realization of its war-time responsibilities. And our busy administra- tion keeps pace with the quickened step. War has robbed us of some of our most Cherished administrative traditions; we have missed our daily chapel led by dignified President Robertson. A little of the academic glamour is gone. But in its place there is renewed energy and extensive activity. Several of our administrative officers are actively participating in government work. Mr. Turner, the Financial Vice-President, has temporarily left Goucher to fill a war posi- tion. Dean Stimson and Dr. Torrey, the Assistant to the Dean and Head of West House, Mary Fisher Hall, are both employed in part-time government work. Yet, in spite of her numerous administrative duties and her war work, the Dean still has her friendly social Chats With the freshmen and, as Head of West House, Dr. Torrey is an echient director and a comrade. Miss McCurley, the Director of Vocational Education, has ex- panded her advisory post in an increased Administrators at work effort to place students in war jobs. Not only did she help organize defense classes, but also, she could be seen perched on a high stool, bent over her drawing board and mechanical drawing tools. In spite of gas rationing and the tire shortage, Dr. Riches, the Director of Admissions, continues her Visits to secondary schools where she meets the girls who will become next years lllittle sisters. The present condition has disrupted our program, our administrative leaders are aware of their duties, but the college administration con- tinues. Under the able direction of Miss Probst and Miss Troxell, her assistant, the registrarls office functions, sending announce- ments, and recording marks. Miss Ruther- ford, the Psychological Counselor, continues to help Goucher students. Carrying on in the best Goucher tradition, Miss Frances Conner, Student Counselor, is the mainstay of our social activities. Coopera- tive and understanding, she guides us in our plans, both individual and those concerning the whole college community. Miss Conner not only grants us our Annapolis permissions, but even arranges friendly accommodations for us there. One of the characteristics that endears her to all of us is her Willingness to consider all points of View, and to acknowl- edge merit where it is due. Her active interest in the welfare of the school and its students makes Miss Conner an ideal administrator. 29
