Percy GoyNE Alumni Secretary J. M. Witziams Extension Professor bE FEN S ION Percy Goyne completed last fall a sig- nificant accomplishment—the collecting of $25,000, which was given by the Alumni to President J. H. Reynolds for use on the college budget in honor of his silver anni- versary as president. Percy, as he is known to his many friends over the state, is famed for his smile and his suave, alert manner. Energetic and capable, he has been a mem- ber of the staff since graduation from Hendrix a few years ago. Percy was an active an d outstanding stu- dent while at Hendrix and has proved himself capable of carrying on with the same success after graduation. Since coming to Hendrix, Dr. J. M. Williams has continued the character- building work begun during his years as president of Galloway Woman’s College. Being a popular speaker throughout the state, he is away from Conway much of the time filling various pulpits, holding re- ligious training schools, and lecturing on subjects related to the home. Young peo- ple and the home are his special interes‘s. Through the efforts of Dr. Williams, graduates of colleges affiliated with Hen- drix have been able for the past two years to obtain re-issued diplomas in the name of Hendrix.

E. W. Martin Treasurer Guy A. Simmons Registrar B U S IN EE Se Hendrix College could scarcely have found a man better suited for the position of treasurer than E. W. Martin, graduate of Hendrix. His ability to secure money is excelled only by his uncanny knack of holding on to it. He sees that the college money goes where it is most needed. Mr. Martin is a leader in church and civic ac- tivities in Conway. Among his offices are: President of the Rotary Club, artillery of- ficer of the National Guard, trustee, stew- ard, and finance chairman of the Metho- dist Church, and chairman of the finance committee of the city hospital. Registrar G. A. Simmons, outstanding scholar and authority in the classics, came to Hendrix in 1908 as Professor of Greek and Latin and in 1924 assumed his present duties. His accuracy, efficiency, and sys- tematic methods make him well suited for keeping the college records. Persons seek- ing information about the college or its students and alumni have learned to go to Professor Simmons’ newspaper clipping file, for he rarely misses an item about Hendrix. Also serving as official postmas- ter of the college, he is known for his tell- ing of humorous stories. In his spare time Mr. Simmons writes limericks and trans- lates Greek, Latin, and German.
