I J Alumni records are found in secretary Kenney L. Ford ' s office. Amid stacks of books, William F. Baehr, librarian, is found. New students are admitted and registered by E. M. Gerritz. Mother and Dad asked you to find the address of an old classmate, so you went to the office of Kenney L. Ford, alumni secretary. There you found up-to- date records of K-State alumni. When the new stacks opened in the Library, you were able to do more research on the term papers that accumulated toward the end of each semester. Wil- liam F. Baehr, librarian, and his staff were busy with the opening of the new stacks early in the year. A new K-Stater this year was E. M. Gerritz, regis- trar, who enrolled other new K-Staters. You thought he had his hands quite full keeping track of who were coming here from where next year and their ap- plications. Helping Dean Craig outline the student activity program was one of Philip H. Sorensen ' s many task s. As assistant dean of students, he also participated on various student committees in an advisory capacity. Lining up the big-name dance bands was credited to him, too. It was a woman ' s world for Helen Moore, K-State dean of women. She sought to develop social, educa- tional and vocational activities of women students between themselves and others. Assisting the dean of students is Philip H. Sorensen ' s job. All women students receive advice and supen-ision in dorm and campus activities from Helen Moore, K-State ' s dean of women.

Budgeting confronts A. R. Jones, dean of financial adminis- tration, who is the financial liaison with the legislature. Students ' problems and organizations at K-State find William G. Craig, dean of students, willing to offer a helping hand. When you thought how some of your accounting problems had stumped you for days, you wondered how A. R. Jones, dean of financial administration, helped allot College funds and co-ordinated budget requests for the legislature. How those extra-curricular activities kept you on the jump! But you decided William G. Craig, dean of students, was a wee bit busier than you. He was responsible for the direction and correlation of stu- dent activities, government and other affairs. Summertime was a lazy time for you but for Paul Young, new director of summer school in 195$, It was as lively as any other time of the year. While most of your interests were centered around the College and its activities, you discovered that it was nearly the opposite for Max W. Milbourn, direc- tor of public service. He kept the various College publics uppermost in his mind. Buzz sessions quite often took care of your col- legiate problems, but there were times when even these wouldn ' t help. It was then that you sought ad- vice from Sumner B. Morris, director of the guidance center. You heard president emeritus F. D. Farrell talk at several meetings and read some of his series of re- search studies done on rural institutions. Summer school and its activi- ties are directed by Paul Young. Public services is Max W. Mil- bourn ' s responsibility. The student counseling center A former president, F. D. Far- is under Sumner B. Morris. rell is now president emeritus.

Recognition is given to Doretta M. Schlaphoff, new dean of the School of Home Economics, at a tea in Southeast hall. . . . and readm ' , writin ' aeam head the list The ' 54- ' 5 5 school season began in earnest with the kick-off of the first football game and many teas and mixers. As summer days dwindled into fall weeks, readin ' and writin ' took up where swimmin ' and fishin ' were forced to leave off. New classes brought many new faces, but also revived some of last year ' s adventures and misadventures. And finally you realized you were back in school. Worm fall days draw beads of perspiration as students and instructors meet outside for classes. Students insist that concentration is at a higher peak when they ' re in the correct setting on days like these. The first football game, against Colorado A M, brings ardent for their favorite team. Studies go to the back of collegiate Wildcat supporters out in the open again .... this time to cheer heads, as Corky Taylor (23) helped renew football enthusiasm.
