Miss Mary Schlenk Miss Martha Jacques Mrs. Virginia Skinner Mr. C. T. Jenkins Mr. R. J. McGinnis There ' s a school of thought that says Miss Mary Schlenk ' s job is the most important on the campus for she faces the problem of feed- ing some 2,000 students in her position as head of the University boarding department ... if one braves the rather austere name of auditor of student organizations, making the acquaintance of Martha Jacques repays him well . . . she ' s the lady v ho manages some- how to see that everyone gets a ticket to Artist ' s Courses and Junior Proms, in addition to checking the books of our numerous or- ganizations . . . social affairs for our three thousand students are under the direction of Mrs. Laurence Skinner . . . this gracious and charming hostess guarantees the success of social functions ranging from fraternity open houses to the Senior Ball . . . C. T. Jenkins supervises the personnel of tlie University and adds direction of Miami ' s army of NYA students ... he is one more of the men be- hind the scenes who keep the machinery well-oiled and moving smoothly . . . R. J. McGinnis masks a multitude of talents under the title of Journalism instructor . . . public re- lations, the news bureau, supervision of pub- lications, and advisor to would-be newspa- permen are only a few . . . when he begins to be known as Mac , that ' s testimony enough to the high regard in which the students hold him . . . four major additions to Miami ' s build- ing program have given much additional work to Mr. Conrad, superintendent of grounds, and Mr. Everhart, superintendent of maintenance . . . the position of Wallace P. Roudebush as Secretary of the Board of Trustees gives him control of the University pursestrings, but it ' s an efficient control, all of which will go to make Miami a bigger and better school.
