BUSINESS MANAGER MR. VERNON M. NELSON We are often prone to think of Mr. Xelson wholly as our materialistic administrator of business, our capable automan who keeps W-B squarely on its feet. And truly that is his main capacity for his word is law whether it ' s do the teachers have a raise or do we get a new egg beater down at the club ' But forgetting the slightly ridiculous, we want to say that Mr. Nelson is one of the best managers a school could ask for. And not only in this vein is he outstanding: he possesses a certain charming quality that few can boast. His power, his effervescence, his fascinating little smile — Mr. Nelson, we are proud to claim you as our own. REGIS TD A MISS MABEL FLETCHER With a background of eighteen years at Ward-Belmont, Miss Fletcher graciously officiates this year for the first time as reg- istrar, introducing to the visitors young and eld our Ward-Bel- mont of charm and tradition. Believing in its importance to women of tomorrow, Miss Fletcher centers her life on the ad- vancement of the school ' s ideals. Her radiant enthusiasm and love for Ward-Belmont enhances the magnetic personalities of school and lady. Friends and visitors are most fortunate in having Miss Fletcher introduce them to her beloved Ward-Belmont.

Al OF THE ORY SCHOOL MRS. SUSAN S. SOl ' BY In completing her fourth year as head of the Preparatory School, Mrs. Souby has again proved her capability and intense interest in the affairs of the Ward-Belmont campus. From the first senior-junior competition until the final notes of the organ at prep graduation, students knew they could turn to Mrs. Souby for needed advice and inspiration. Loved and respected, she will remain in the hearts of her students as one of the most outstand- ing figures at Ward-Belmont. f n THE TORY DEAN ALAN IRWIN Across the street from Fidelity Hall, at any time of the day, you may observe the music students going to and from the con- servatory with smiles on their faces. For the students are happy, and this happiness is due in a large measure to the kindness and understanding of Dean Irwin. Majoring in music requires much hard work, but it is well rewarded by Dean Irwin ' s enthusiastic approval of the student ' s accomplishments. Dean Irwin is always sympathetic and helpful, and the students think of him not only as a teacher but also as a friend. In his many years as Dean of Ward-Belmont ' s Conservatory he has helped make it the fine in- stitution that it is today.
