FACULTY During the period of four years, from September, 1948 to June. 1952, the faculty has guided the class of 1952 and has con- tributed to the development of its mental resources. There have been times when some members of our class have been un- responsive and even somewhat antagonistic toward faculty policies, but these same policies are those which have helped us to reach todav this phase of our develop- ment. The faculty has encouraged us in our extra-curricular activities, for it has realized that emphasis upon mere subject matter alone is not sufficient in the building of a wholesome personality. It has been the in- spiration for our preparation for worthy citizenship. Of the one hundred members of this faculty, thirty-seven have their Doctorates. To this faculty, we are grateful, for its time, its effort and its interest. 10

I he business staff is perennially busv, changing schedules, having conferences, and registering pupils. They have patientk. willingly, and enthusiastically served through four years the class of 1952. To the registrar’s office a student walked, and asked in a worried, yet hopeful manner. “Is my status all right? W ill I graduate in June?” Smiling, he left with his fingers crossed. Then he went upstairs to the dean’s office. “I’d like to drop 210. Yes, I know I registered yesterday, but it’s right after lunch, and I can’t stav awake.” I le then went to the business office, where he obtained a campus job. In the comptroller’s office he sang a woeful song. You charged two dollars fine for a cut just after the Raster holiday, but I went to my class. There is the b x)k store where lines are long at the beginning of the semester, where lxx ks arc high, and where our extra cigarette and coke money goes. L(x k at our cafeteria. They say we are a healthy bunch, but you draw your own conclusions. The infirmary is the place to which we go to get our cuts authorized and to view television.
