Y W-uf Administrators WITH PATIENCE THESE FOUR STEERED OUR WANDERING WHIMS Principal Lorenzo H. Hatch Cecil Samuelson, Counselor Ann Pehrson, Dean Reho Thorum, Dean Always on hand to help me with extremely baffling problems was Mr. Hatch, a true and understanding counselor. Though to some he appeared a man of great dignity, to me he was a friend with a sharp intellect and a keen sense of humor. In the assemhly I recognized him as an excellent speaker, and at the games, an ardent sports fan. Some day I hope his well-known signature will grace my diploma. In the same front offices, I met three other advisers, Miss Pehrson, dean of women, gracious and kind, Mr. Thorum, dean of men, fun-loving and congenial, and Mr. Samuelson, counselor, composed and symf pathetic. 13
