Allen C Conger.-- Registrar Donald J Hornberger Treasurer Donald B. Watkins Assistant Treasurer John J. Hickson . - Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds It is interesting to know that the efficient mechanism of this university is supervised primarily by four men. Through their diligent and praiseworthy efforts and methods these men have become known as Administration Heads. Allen C. Conger, official registrar, records the grades of all students and of fraternities and sororities. He also has charge of new student requirements, Mr. Conger ' s greatest interest as a naturalist is the study of birds. He also enjoys working in his yard. Donald J. Hornberger, university treasurer, finds time to make investigations for the college as well as to supervise all business reports. He divides his summers between gardening at home and fishing near his cottage in Michigan. The person in charge of business operations is Donald B. Watkins. It is he who controls the direct business of the dormitories, purchases supplies, and supervises the budget. His hobby is sports, and at the present time he is interested in his own boy ' s athletic ability. John J. Hickson, who is in charge of plant and maintenance, directs all repairs and manages the personnel department. His greatest pleasure is found in traveling, although at times it is only in books.

Leff to right: Sheridan, Fretts, Somerville Ohio Wesleyan has been enjoying the excellent work of Miss Mary Helen Fretts, Dean of Women, for the second year. A graduate of Wesleyan and former Assistant Dean at Ohio University, she has won her way into the hearts of the students and has proved her ability for understanding people by helpfully encouraging many of the coeds. One of her outstanding qualities is her remarkable talent for remem- bering names and small details. She never tires of entertaining at small informal gatherings at her comfortable suite at Monnett. A keen sense of humor and a kindly, sympathetic nature exemplify Joseph Somerville, Dean of Men. He is a graduate of DePauw University where he was president of the senior class. Although the Interfraternity Council is one of his greater responsibilities, he is equally well known for his chaperoning of the pajama parade. The freshman men have a chance to really know him when they seek his advice concerning their many problems and their choice of a life work. His greatest pride is being the father of two charming little daughters. A graduate of the University of Toronto, Harold Sheridan has proved his remarkable efficiency during his four years as Dean of the College. Granting the privilege of unlimited cuts to those on the Dean ' s list, he finds many striving for this worthy goal every year. Upon his announcement that the faculty debated plans for the changing of the grading system, a great deal of interest was aroused. When not acting in his official capacity as Dean, he spends his time at Blind River. 28
