A rends- horst, held the position of clerk of the draft board. Soon after school started Bernie” was promoted to state auditor of draft books and Daniel J. Zwemer took over his class.

The Department of Business Administra- tion gives excellent training to those students who are entering business, and an expert background for those who intend to study law. 12

DEAN AND OFFICE PERSONNEL The faculty works, and the students work harder, but the dean, the registrar and the rest of the office personnel just sit around all day and run the place.... Diminutive Elizabeth Lichty, Dean of Women, has her finger in more pies than anybody can count. As dean, she takes a sympathetic interest in the personnel, vocational, and academic problems of the girls of the college, giving unsparingly of her time for individual conferences with all new girls, and with any girl who wants to talk over a problem with her. Every spring she writes out dozens of carefully thought out recommendations for senior girls. She is an ex officio member of W. A. L. and W. A. A. boards, of faculty committees on social affairs and on student guidance; she is an advisor to Alcor, the Voorhees-Van Vleck house-board, and French Club! She takes in her stride such extra curricular activities as knitting for a brand-new nephew, a full social calendar, and planning meals for the dorm while Mrs. Van Zomeren is sick! The row of letters after her name stand for a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lake Forest College, and Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees form the University of Wisconsin. Head man in the upstairs office is white-haired Thomas E. Welmers, Registrar, who earned an A.B. degree from Hope, and a B.D. from Princeton, spent a year of post-graduate study there, and also did a year and a half of graduate- work at the University of Berlin, in Germany. Thossy” is the man who attends to such matters as matriculation and credits. He's the man who tangles and untangles schedules, the final authority in academic programs; he tells the freshmen how many hours they may carry, and the seniors whether they have credits enough to graduate or not. The files in his new office contain reams of fascinating information about everybody on campus. From his tower he rules the fates of the student body, and not even a broken arm impairs his brusque efficiency! Secretary to the president is Mildred Schuppert's official title, but that only covers a small part of her duties. She reigns supreme in the main office. She is reception clerk and tuition taker. She sells bluebooks for Y. cashes checks, keeps accounts in a big book, writes receipts, keeps track of everybody from Charlie the janitor to Prexy, and answers thousands of questions about every- thing on campus for everybody on campus—in fact, as the saying goes. When in doubt, ask Millie!” This is all incidental to her real job as Dr. Wichers' secretary, but it never seems to perturb her. She has a cheerful smile and a helpful word for all who enter the office. Millie” is part of the college in more ways than one. for she is an Orange and Blue alumna, possessing an A.B. degree from Hope. Mary Bolema, general factotum of the upstairs office, also has an A.B. degree from Hope. Mary is officially Personnel Secretary, but, as with Millie's job, that's just the beginning. As Personnel Secretary, she writes letters to all prospective students, keeps files for them, and takes care of other personnel work; as assistant to the Registrar, she makes out transcripts; as secretary to the Army, the Navy and the Marines, she takes care of correspondence and records for Doc Raymond and the War (Pilot) Training Service; she is also connected with the National Youth Administration and serves as stenographer and typist for the faculty in general. In addition she carries on an involved and lengthy correspondence with a certain person in the Army Medical Corps. It takes up her spare time. II
