ADMINISTRATION HEADS OF 0. W. U. w It is these men who see to it that Ohio Wesley an is kept running like a highly specialized machine, smoothly and efficiently. Mr. Donald J. Hornberger, treasurer of the University, is the general svipervisor over all financial reports and business. Much of his time, however, is spent in making investments for the University. Mr. Allen C. Conger, besides teaching several courses in the Zoology department, acts in the capacity of Registrar. It is his duty to take charge of all entrance requirements and the admissions of prospective students. In addition he records the grades of the students and of the fraternities and sororities. Mr. Donald B. Watkins has charge of the busi- ness operations of the college, some of which include the purchasing for the school and supervision of the budget. Moreover, he controls the direct business end of the dormitories. The person in charge of the plant and main- tenance is known to all of us as Mr. John J. Hickson. Among his many duties are those of taking charge of repairs and managing the personnel department. Because of their noteworthy efforts and systematic methods in their work, they have become known to us as the Administration Heads. (Left to rijrht) — Watkins, Cong:er, Hornberger, Hickson.

New to the faculty this year is Miss Mary Helen Fretts, Dean of Women, Wesleyan Graduate, and a form- er dean at Oliio University. Serving in a double capacity, she spends her spare time grading Freshman English themes. She is distinguished by her beautiful iron-gray hair, her sparkling black eyes, her longing for ye olde custome of tea at four (carry-over from a year at Ox- ford), and her enthusiastic singing of fraternity songs in Monnett dining-room. It is rumored that she prefers the title Miss Fretts to that of Dean Fretts. Dean of Men is Joseph Somerville, a graduate of DePauw and President of the Senior Class there at the same time that Prof. Manuel was President of the Student Body. In his official capacity he meets with the Inter-Fra- ternity Council, signs auto license permits, holds confer- ences with all freshman men, and chaperones the pajama parade. A hint — he is prone to dislike those who disturb him before his morning coffee. Harold Sheridan, Dean of the College, is a Uni- versity of Toronto graduate. Mechanically inclined, he tinkers in a shop of his own and has built a cobblestone fireplace at his Blind River cabin. Students know him best for his dignified introductions of chapel speakers, his benign smile, and his Dean ' s List (the empty honor). WESLEYAN DEANS w (left to risht) — Sheridan. Somerville. Fretts
