V v The task of managing the College finance is by no means an easy one. To collect the money owed to the school, to pay the bills that are due, to keep the records accurate, and to keep the institution on a paying basis—Mr. Williams succeeds better than one could expect in these many tasks. In spite of all his duties, he always has a cheery smile for everyone. His relations with the students are always most cordial. Because of the many de¬ lightful dinners for which he has planned, and because of his whole-hearted cooperation in student activities, Mr. Williams is the friend of every student of Marion College. One need scarcely mention his contribution to the success of the school; that is an accomplishment which speaks for itself. JOHN D. WILLIAMS Treasurer Mrs. Dailey is seldom seen on the College campus, but every student knows her as the pleasant, friendly woman with white hair and a pair of twinkling blue eyes. Her fame as a baker of delicious pies is undisputed; those who eat at the school dining room regularly praise her ability as a cook. During the years that Mrs. Dailey has served Marion College, all the students who have known her, have come to love her for her patience and gentleness, and to admire the queenliness of her kindly dis¬ position.

Mrs. Tuggle is greatly interested in her subject; she always encourages her students to attend the exhibits which come to this city. She serves as advisor to art editors of school publications and spends long hours in her studio, painting with her students. Those who know her best, know that a sense of humor is an outstanding characteristic of her interesting per¬ sonality. Her sincere liking for her work and her interest in her students have made for her a high place in the life of Marion College. ELEANOR KING TUGGLE Associate Professor of Fine Applied Arts and Public School Drawing ELIZABETH AYERS Librarian, Dean of Women Mrs. Ayers, my room is too cold,” Mrs. Ayers, may I eat at a different table tomorrow? I need a change.” Do I have any books overdue?” What a task it is to keep a dorm full of girls cheerful and pleasant, and to take care of a library full of books and students. Mrs. Ayers is a capable librarian, and an exceptionally successful diplomat. Preparation for the former she gained in work at library schools, in Marion College where she earned an A. B. degree, and as a librarian at Wisconsin Uni¬ versity. Her wide experience in life, school teaching and other endeavors has afforded her an abundant supply of patience and understanding. The cheerfulness and sanity of her outlook on life, and integrity of her character have made her an inspiration, not only to the girls of the dorm, but to all the students of Marion College. Mrs. Parker is an excellent musician as well as an excellent teacher. She has studied at many conservatories under noted composers and musicians, and has received from Bush Conserva¬ tory the degree of B. S. in Music. She has had ten years experi¬ ence as a private teacher of music. During the four years that she has been a teacher in Marion College, Mrs. Parker has presented her students in chapel programs and studio recitals and has ac¬ companied the Community Chorus. This year she organized and directed a successful Girls’ Glee Club. Mrs. Parker teaches many classes in addition to the hours of private instruction which she gives. Her pupils appreciate not only her understanding of music and the technique of the musical artist, but her seemingly inexhaustible supply of patience. She deserves a large measure of praise for her part in creating a greater appreciation of music among the students of the school. The harmony of her life is as lovely as the harmony of her music.

DANIEL BAKER Superintendent of Grounds True to his motto that anything worth doing is worth doing well, Mr. Baker does his work so thoroughly that the College campus is always clean and prepared for visitors. Leaves to rake in the fall, snow to shovel, and the grass to mow, rooms to sweep and dust,—these and many other tasks keep Mr. Baker busy through the entire year. But he goes about his work with a zeal and a cheery spirit that put slackers to shame and encourages the downhearted. Mr. Baker is a valuable and highly respected man, in the eyes of Marion College students. Marion College is indeed fortunate to have such a loyal and active friend as Rev. Appleman. Those who attend the College church know him as a faithful and earnest pastor. But to all the students, he is known as a man whose chapel addresses are always vigorous and challenging, and whose life corresponds to what he preaches. His interest in the problems of every College student, and his help in the religious activities of the student body, are greatly appreciated. He is admired as a sincere man and a true friend of Marion College and her ideals. REV. GLENN APPLEMAN Pastor of College Church
