EDWARD CARTER The Activities of the men on campus are the primary re¬ sponsibility of Dean Carter, a man who will meet you most any time with a smile. He spends much of his time in some one else’s hot water—not an easy job, but one that he does conscientiously and well. He also supervises social activities, student government and campus athletics. Dean Carter is in charge of veterans’ affairs, chairman of the Admissions and Scholarship Committee and a member of numerous other administrative committees. He is assistant professor of psychology. JESSICA LINNEMAN Dean Linneman is counsellor to the women and all foreign students on campus. As E)ean of Women, she has the respon¬ sibilities of directing the health program and serving as advisor to the Interclub Council, Student Council, Women’s Judicial Council and Women’s Legislative Council. She is chairman of the Student Enterprise Fund Committee and the Personnel Council, and she is also associate professor of psychology. 12

JAMES W. GRISWOLD Jim Griswold has frequent contacts with the student body in his little Commons’ chats.The familiar gong rings, and Grizzy gets up to talk heart-to-heart with the students about why there is no hot water at Herr House and no cold water at the Quonsets, or to exhort the fellows not to shoot college cows. It has been his serious policy to keep no secrets, but to let the students know how the college is being run. He has done well, and is one of the best liked of the staff. This is his fifth year as business manager. He has done a remarkable job of keeping the institution in sound financial condition during that time. DAVID MACK KNIGHT Mr. Knight has been a cog in the works at Park for a long time, coming to Park in 1916. He was business manager until 1946, and doubled as Professor of Accounting and Business Law part of those years. Since 1918 he has been secretary to the Board of Trustees. It is this job that keeps him on campus now; you can find him most any day in his little cubbyhole in the T.O. ARTHUR N. FERRIS To most of the Copley girls, Mr. Ferris is simply the husband of their housemother, Mrs. Ferris. This isn’t really adequate, however. His official title after the big reorganization last summer is Purchasing Agent and Director of Maintenance and Construction.” He directs, maintains, and constructs all over the place, keeping roads in good shape, buildings painted and the heat plant going. He’s a hard man to work for, because he demands good work. And that’s what he produces. J. FRANK RINGER All students at Park have brushed up against Mr. Ringer whether they know it or not, for he is a cog in the Family work program. He wrestles with schedules, time sheets, and Miss Smith (figuratively, of course) trying to produce an efficient program and keep everyo ne happy. The Industry Office and Mr. Ringer have become almost a legend; both have contributed much to our liberal arts education. M

I WILLIAM R. YINGLING For the past five years, the little office in the Chapel tower has hummed with planning. Neither Dean Bill nor Dr. Zwingle were satisfied with chapel program, and it has been Dr. Yingling’s tremendous responsibility to create a better one. Perhaps not even the family work program was subjected to as much organized criticism as the chapel program. Some good and creative work has been done toward building an integrated weekday chapel curriculum. In December Dr. Yingling left to take a position as director of youth work in the Synod of Pennsylvania. He has done a good job here—one that will be appreciated more and more as the religious program he began grows. HOMER L. WILLIAMS Prof. Williams was first known to the class of ’50 as Soci¬ ology. Professor. Since 1947 he has been Registrar. After the big project of getting everyone in a classroom at least 12 hours a week, he begins the round of class drops, transfer records, transcripts and class schedules that keep him busy and haggard until next enrollment. FRANCES FISHBURN Miss Fishburn is Park’s very able librarian. Students who find themselves with an obstinate research prob¬ lem find her ready and willing to help them solve it. She has the responsibility of ordering books in co¬ operation with the faculty, directing the staff, and in general keeping the library a modern, efficient, useful place. DOROTHY YINGLING Guiding and directing the growth of Student In¬ dustries for four years, Mrs. Yingling has set up one of the brightest spots in the work program. To her fell the difficult task of pioneering in the job of making the work program a constructive factor in the growth of the students. Those students who have worked with Mrs. Y. know that she will not easily be replaced as she leaves to join Dr. Yingling in his new work. 13
