ADMINISTRATION VETERANS' OFFICE Left to right: Helen McKinley, Marjorie Droste, Lynn Fischer. You may think you've been in some fast Whirlwinds or cyclones, but you ain't seen nothing yet till you hit the Vet's office on regis- tration day or on any other day of the Week. The individual doing all the huffing and puffing and keeping the 375.00 a month boys happy is one-Dean Ploenges. Ploeng probably hears more T.S. stories in a day, in his capacity as Vet's counselor than most chaplains did in a month handling the boys' troubles in service.

A vote of thanks from every veteran is indeed in order for the splendid job Dean Ploenges has done on behalf of their general welfare. To handle the overflow of correspondence questionnaires and proverbial VA. red tape the dean is assisted by two secretaries, Mrs, Helen McKinley and Mrs. Marjorie Droste. Mrs, Lynn Fischer serves as clerk processing grocery slips. Dean Ploenges
