vm Coaches Trevor, Saunders, and Turner again headed the Knox athletic department as sports led the extra-curricular interests at Knox. The spirit at Old Siwashv was greatly bolstered during the year by the for- mation of a new pep club, the Tyrants. The outstanding athletic feat of the year was when the Siwashers, coached by Mr. Turner and Mr. Trevor, upset the highly touted Law- rence team 19-l3. Miss Bielefeldt and Mrs. McLaughlin again directed a well organized and varied program for the women on the Knox campus. The girls participated in field hockey, basketball, badminton, swimming, bowling, and golf. The military science department was again commanded by Colonel Serff of the infantry. Colonel Serff, with his staff, operated the Senior Advanced Air R.0.T.C. program in addition to the regular infantry courses.

Below: Dr. Headland, Nurse Sproul, and Nurse Von Goertz study Health Center data. The circulation of the library increased this year as the students made greater use of the library. Mr. Richards continued to add books to the eighty-thousand volume collection that is housed in Seymour library. The record collection expanded rapidly and the students became more acquainted with its value. The library was staffed by twenty persons. Fifteen are students who work on an average from eight to ten hours per week as clerks. Dr. Headland, Miss Sproul, and Miss Von Goertz are the staff of the Knox College Health Center. An insrease in the number of treatments this year is due to the encour- aging fact that many of these treatments were precautionary. All freshmen are required to take a medical examination. The athletic teams provided much of the activity at the health center with numerous strains and sprained ankles. LIBRARY, HEALTH SERVICE 14
