Rex Z. Williams Assistant Dean Dean Williams was first associated with the M.S.M. faculty in 1931 as an instructor of me- chanics. He became a full professor in 1946, the same year he was appointed to the office of Assistant Dean. The Dean's many tasks range all the way from student counseling to an excellent job placement program for the graduating seniors. He has been performing an extra service for the students here of late. This new service is in the form of helpful guidance in matters per- taining to the selective service and organized reserve draft status. The Dean is certainly a friend in need and a friend indeed. Page Fourteen Noel Hubbard Registrar When a new student enters our school, his record, from the date of his birth, is compiled in the office of the Registrar. After that student has graduated from this school, his record con- tinues. The man behind this complex file sys- tem is Noel Hubbard. Mr. Hubbard has been with M.S.M. since 1923. Aside from his normal capacities as Registrar, he finds time to take personal inter- est in the problems of the various students. lt is through his fatherly advice and pleasing personality that students have named him Mother Hubbard. M.S.M. is indeed fortunate in having such a commendable man on its staff.

His knowledge in this field earned him the title of Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds . Mr. Hendrix has the essential job of acting as coordinator between the school and the con- tractor. The new buildings on our campus have kept this office intensely busy. Mr. Hendrix is often called upon to straighten out and give pro- fessional guidance to building and grounds jobs which confront his maintenance crew. This past year, for example, Mr. Hendrix came up with a plan of coordinating the Powerhouse with his own office, resulting in a more efficient and economical Powerhouse. Page Fifteen Harry J.
