Mrs. Nannie Worshum Mrs. Nannie Worsham serves the campus as the college nurse and works in cooperation with the col- lege doctor, Dr. Ed Dunaway. She has been man- aging Hendrix's little brown infirmary since 1952 and has two assistants who aid her during the week, Mrs. Gladis Hooten and Mac's wife, Mrs. Rayo Mel-lenry. Our infirmary with its dispensary room, girls ward, and boys' ward has sustained the ills of Hen- drix students since 1918, but it will probably be re- placed by a new modern building within the next year. 9 Mr. Cecil Graddy Superintendent of maintenance, Mr. Cecil Graddy began serving our campus in 1934. His duties to the college include such responsibilities as the care and upkeep of buildings, the maintaining of landscape beauty, and the supervision of dorm cleaning per- sonnel. He is extremely appreciated for his aid in the building of such student projects as theatrical production sets. Mr. Rayo lMacl McHenry Mr. Rayo McHenry, better known to Hendrix students as '6Mac, and his aide, Charley, are- re- sponsible for campus security. A familiar person to all, Mac and his green truck are as much a part of Hendrix as the professors themselves. His work in- cludes the security of all Hendrix property and the supervision of any unauthorized or illegal nocturnal activities. MRS. WORSHAM SUPERVISES the intirmary under the approval ot Dr. Dunaway. college physician. FROM THE MAINTENANCE shop across the street from the college, Mr. Greddy supervises care ot class buildings as well as dormitories. MAC, THE COLLEGE'S chief nightwatchman, lives with his wife in a cottage on the southeast part ot the campus.

GOVERNMENT CLASSES SEE politics in action as they sponsor mock state elections in early November. ACADEMICS Hendrix is ranked among best in South Today higher education has ceased to exist only for the intellectuals. It has become a necessity for most people to obtain a college education, and the increased enrollment at Hendrix bears out this fact. Hendrix College was founded on a sound liberal arts base designed to give students a general scope of knowledge which will prepare them to meet all phases of life effectively. With the higher enrollment this educational plan has been broadened and ex- panded to meet the needs of each student. In the words of Dr. Arthur Johnson, professor of zoology, the instructors at Hendrix are never satisfied with the educational programg they are continually striv- ing to find better ways to meet the increasing de- mandsf' The study of the humanities has long introduced students to the fine literary and philosophical works, provided them with a greater insight into the theorv and execution of art, music. and drama, and enabled them to become acquainted with foreign languages. In the humanities area the curriculum expansion has been quite marked. For the first time students can obtain a drama major instead of a speech-drama major. The philosophy department is now under the direction of two men, both of whom hold doctorates. Two new majors have also been added to the foreign language department. Students may now major in Spanish or German as well as in French. In the area HENDRIX'S ONLY DEPARTURE from liberal arts status is the direct training ot teachers for jobs in education.
