a mental note of THATU And to top this she has a niece who will be coming to Hood one of these days. But there's not just an air of business efii- ciency surrounding her. A bicycle looms on the horizon, we squint our eyes, take a second F . Qi? 4 GQQIQ look-and breezing by en route to Ad or Cob- lentz is our Director of Student Personnel . . . a bandbox appearance and a dash of vogue . . . stylish, competent . . . our own Miss Perry. MR. FCRD pl! RINGING to mind another campus 'executive is this line from an old rhyme: The Queen was in her parlor eating bread and honey, but the King was in his counting house counting out his money. Hood's Counting House is an inner sanctum which is to some of us merely an impressive name plate spelling out in raised letters the name of the chief counter himself-Mr. Ford. Busily executing the endless jobs that confront a college treasurer, Mr. Ford is as hard to con- tact as a royal money counter must have been. But once inside his ofiice we of the vivid imagi- nation who might like to picture our treasurer as sitting amidst piles of gold coins and stacks of greenbacks avidly counting and recounting Hood's loot would find our jaws drop and our eyes pop. For there he sits at his shiny flat top desk, black rimmed glasses perched on his nose, efliciently executing his duties. And gosh, rhere's not a dime in sight! Only a select few have ever been inside this oflice. Most people have only a hazy concep- tion of what Mr. Ford looks like and what he has to do. That is, you have only a hazy conception until your father forgets to send your last tuition check on time! Then you are ushered rather hurriedly into his office. Here you will find one of the nicest and most in- teresting people on campus. Mr. Ford will come right to the point, as he always does in business transactions. After you have told him why you are there, he'll do all he can to help you. Your business com- pleted, you still won't want to leave because you'll be held spell-botmd by the many interest- ing ancedotes that he'll tell you. Some of them will have taken place on campus and others will be about his son, Raymond, who expects to be discharged at any time. Don't think, however, that he spends his time conversing. It is his job to keep all the opposing factors of a college in accord, besides running the financial affairs. And we might well add that's quite a job! And so we see that caps and gowns, titles and ofiices do not alone tell the story of these college executives. They are I-Iood's personali- ties, guiding and shaping smaller personalities into what we hope someday will reflect their efforts.
