IDHI ISTHITIOI Headed by dignified, responsible Dean J. W. Branson the war wheels oi State College turned more and more efficiently as the year went on. Faced with the prospect of few or no students at all, Dean Branson managed to get the navy to take over our machine shops and housing facilities, then went ahead and worked toward getting an army contingent stationed here. Affable Mrs. Hamicl again presides as keeper of the watch word and is a friend of all who need to confer with Dean Branson. Members of the board this school year were: M. A. THREET, Las Cruces, President FRANK LIGHT, Silver City, Secret.iry. Treasurer J. A. SWEET, Las Cruces JOHN TWEEDY, Rosweil ALBERT K. MITCHELL, Albert The board was presented to the student body during a student assembly in the first semester, and each member gave a short talk to the students.

T H E D E I I S . . . . Five Deans were faced with many a complex task during the current school year, and each entered in the war spirit with a zeal that was not the hking of Herr Hitler. Few student toes had to be trampled on and the Deans are considered swell fellows by all campus personnel. Dean Bawden took over W. B. ODonnell s office and the many activities as Greek Council and S u- denl Commission sponsor. He was a friend in need with fugitives from the draft boards who had many problems that concern a wartime student. H T. BAWDEN Dean Bovard, helping recruit WAACS and WAVES, held down a job which requires the combined services of two or three peo- ple during normal times. Hearing her call to the colors she married Bar.y Jones, U. S. Army, soon after the second semester began. BERDINE JACKMAN JONES
