The trustees of Park College hold a more important place in the administra¬ tion of the college than most of us realize. They receive gifts and bequests for the college, confer degrees, control the curriculum and instruction, have the power to take measures proper for the advancement and protection of college interests; in short, they manage and operate Park. Their purpose, as stated in their charter, is to spread knowledge, inculcate moral and religious principles and offer the opportunity for training and education to youth.

J. L. ZWINGLE President Parkites have named President Zwingle “The Pere¬ grinating Prexy” because of the meet¬ ings near and far which he attends. Mrs. Z., (as she is sometimes called), runs a close second as the person “most on the go.” Heading the list of activities are the three little girls, Christa, Erla Frank, and Kathy, who have matured from com¬ plete wild Indians to respectable third and first graders, respectively. On Sundays they attend chapel and dinner at Commons with their par¬ ents. Their greatest ambition is to keep a time sheet and tell as many stories as their college baby¬ sitters. The White House is the scene of many social activities involving students, faculty, trustees, and friends of the college. During the year, some two thousand people enjoy its hospitality at receptions, formal dinners, buffets, and picnics. All are told the Park Story and come to feel that here we have a family devoted to this institution. Most students come away surprised and pleased that their pres¬ ident and first lady are friendly, interested people and just human beings after all, except more so. MRS. ZWINGLE ERLA KATHY CHRISTA DR. ZWINGLE

WILLIAM B. DUNSETH JENKIN R. DAVID WILLIAM M. STANTON VICE PRESIDENT William B. Dunseth is one of the busiest persons on campus. As Vice-President of the College, director of fund-raising, public relations and alumni program, his work is very demanding, for each special problem that arises commands immediate attention. In his work with alumni, he often has opportunities to leave campus for trips to various alumni chapters. During this year’s worldwide alumni day, he made visits to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Detroit, joining Mr. David in Chicago and St. Louis. Our vice president initiated the idea of the off-campus work program and sponsored its development into the present system. Always on the go, and alert for possibilities of progress in the in¬ terests of the college, Mr. Dunseth is a man with fresh ideas and suggestions, eager to work with a project to its successful com¬ pletion. ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT Jenkin R. David, as assistant to the president, is director in charge of admissions and special promotions. His office is one of the busiest on campus, although few people realize how much business is carried on there, and what wide and varied contacts Mr. David has. He carries on correspondence with prospective new students, and sends out literature about Park to high schools throughout the country. Originator and sponsor of the Park Singers, Mr. David has developed the group from 1951’s small unit to the present vital organization, making it an integral part of Park’s public rela¬ tions program. To the Park Singers especially, Mrs. David is a familiar figure, not only as a chaperone and chauffeur but as the mother of four lively girls. She and Mr. David have been living here since 1950 when they left the East coast to come to Park College. BUSINESS MANAGER In July, 1951, Mr. Stanton, his wife Lois and their young daughter Linda were welcomed into the Park family. The Stan¬ tons came from Richmond, Indiana, where Mr. Stanton had serv¬ ed as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds at Earlham Col¬ lege. At Park he was made Director of Campus Operations, a position which he held until June, 1952, when the Board of Trus¬ tees elected him Business Manager of the College. In this ca¬ pacity, Mr. Stanton is concerned with all the general administra¬ tion of the dining hall, the printshop, the Student Industries, the offices, the buildings, and the grounds. Mr. Stanton was graduated from the University of Wisconsin after which he worked in Europe with the American Friends Ser¬ vice Committee. It was here that he met Lois, a graduate of Wilson College, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, who was also employed in Quaker work. They were married in 1947, in Darmstadt, Ger¬ many, and later returned to the United States. Now the Stan¬ tons have two children, Linda, who is four years old, and Billy, who is two.
