A. H. PARROTT S. W. HAGAN Registrar Has it ever occurred to you to think of the little yellow class card that your in- structor holds for you in the same way that you think of the little green slips of cur- rency that the government issues? Yet, if the average student spends S350 a year on school expenses and at the end of the year accumulates 50 credits, each credit to be finally recorded represents S7 and each card represents from 37, 3314, 51521, etc., up to occasionally 25105. Each year in this way more than a half-a-million of academic currency is added to the many millions previously accumulated and stored in the vault of the registraris office during the 48 years of the life of this college. Nor is that the only significance of the registrar's office. In that same vault is a file that contains for each student an envelope in which is stored records of his social and economic origins, his high school record and the recommendations of his high school principal, and any special action taken by Council committees, and all creden- tials and recommendations that have been prepared for him. Registrar Parrott is also chairman of the following significant Council commit- tees: Catalog and Circulars, Curriculum, Eligibility to Public Activities, Freshman Ori- entation, Interfraternity Council, Student Activities, Student Attendance and Student Loan Fund. Secreta ry Having little contact with the Secretary's office, the average student may won- der how it justifies its existence. Students on NYA would be the first to proclaim in its behalf for that is the place they draw their wages. In fact, all money goes through this office. The secretary is the custodian of all college property and the purchasing agent for the school. Funds from the government for the military and agriculture departments -extension, experiment stations, and school proper-fare sent here. He authorizes bills, student loans, and what is most familiar to all collects student fees. Page 18

It is Well to emulate the success attained by this vigorous, aggressive native of the Plains and Prairie. The accomplishments of the Bison in competing with its neighbors and in meet- ing the vicissitudes of a rigorous climate are outstanding, and the student who is stim- ulated by the practices of this denizen of the prairie is assured of success in life. The athlete, the musician, the playright, the public speaker, the artist and the columnist of the student body emulate the example of the Bison by stepping forth as effective, organized groups to meet the institutionls Challengers. Clever, courageous leaders were developed by competition between members of the Bison herd, which corresponds to the intramural meets between representatives of student organizations Within the student body. This College Yearbook which bears the name of our mascot offers an outstand- ing challenge and opportunity to each succeeding group of upper-classmen to excel the accomplishments of their predecessors. The results of the Yearbook are creditable and stimulating and the Bison simile unique. J. H. SHEPPERD, PRESIDENT. Page 17
