lash. DEAN IRVINE A yellow envelope in our mail box . . . a short terse note in- side . . . Report to Dean Irvine between the hours --l' . . . Many of us have had the experi- ence of receiving such a note. With fear and trembling we mounted the stairs leading to Dean Irvine's office and reluc- tantly knocked on the door. Come in! and like the con- demned we felt we were walking the last mile .... Once inside we were pleasantly surprised. No Simon Legree was there to meet us with stern look and waving Instead, we met the smil- ing face of one who was willing to lend a helping hand .... Dean Irvine is as much Marietta Col- lege as the Elms, the Rivers, the Pioneer Sprit. Kindly, sympa- thetic, an all around good fellow is this Dean. We are proud that he belongs to MC .... There is a rumor to the effect that he can be pretty mean. Also a good shot. Ask the thieves who in- vaded his farm. . sx-fiahxh. :I-- f sr- , R fl-milf . X al X .5 'Xp AQ? Q. ' DEAN WILCOX 'fTry that last scene over. . . . I don't like that backdrop. Strange words to be coming from the dean of women of any campus except Old MC. Jolly, smiling, versatile are the ad- jectives used to describe the Dean .... One visit to her office and you like her .... Attend a course in speech taught under her able direction and you think there is none other like her .... Act in 'a play which she directs and you love her .... This is Dean Wilcox, better known as Boss Lady.

Administrative Council ,I X ff, ff, f 'mt A X ' N J E. L. Krause VV. Bay I9 t'ine Mc0'9'ill R. Patterson The year 1948 brought several changes to MC and one of these was the installation of an Administrative Council instead of a College President .... The Trustees chose Eng- lish Prof. and violinist Dr. Merrill Patterson, Chemistry Prof. E. L. Krause, and Dean W. Bay Irvine to head the college .... Eyebrows were raised at this new policy, and many people sat back and waited for the whole college system to collapse. Who ever heard of a college without a president? . . . The record of the past year is the proof of these men's ability. Improvements have been made on the campus and more are coming. The remark has been made by many members of this staff who have Worked intimately vvith the council that this has been a great year. The council has proved themselves capable of any task and everyone has enjoyed working with them. . . . To the Ad- ministrative Council We say 'ibest Wishes for 1949 and our heartiest congraulations for a fine job well done.
