leading role he has played in building the Park of today. In John Coleman Long, the incoming president, we feel is one who will lead to an even better Park of tomorrow. Mr. 1). M. Knight, our business manager, is not only the man in direct charge of all the financial matters of the entire college but also the possessor of a cheerful, patient and friendly disposition, a rare accomplishment indeed. His pleasantness in all financial transactions with the students makes him a very popular man. Although only the senior class can recall the presidency of Dr. Hawley, it is evident to every stu¬ dent that Park has not been built overnight. On every hand we can see the evidence of the courage¬ ous and creative Christian leadership that character¬ ized the twenty-two years of Dr. Hawley’s adminis¬ tration. Mr. D. M.

9m OF MEN HEM OF WOIHEI If the Philosophy Professor had not ultimately become the Dean of Men, it is certain that the Dean of Men, regardless of who he was, would ultimately have become a philosopher.

Whether advising freshman girls, teaching Home Economics, or acting as chairman of the student-faculty social committee, Mrs. Baxter is always gracious and sincere.
