DEAN OF MEN Mr. Mercer, whose outstanding record of schol- arship at the University of Colorado may be envied by all students, is one of the new faculty members. Many facts might be mentioned concerning his teaching but in this limited space let it be said that Mr. Mercer is happily married, owns a Springer spaniel, enjoys teaching economics and likes our Mon- tana climate. Mr. Mercer ' s true-false tests are master- pieces in trickery but it is just such wizardry that makes his classes interesting. BLAINE E. MERCER Prof, of Economics and Sociology DEAN OF WOMEN More can perhaps be gleaned of Mrs. Vera Faxon ' s experience in education by a glance at her record than in any other manner.

LAWLESS Associate Prof, of Musical Education The highlight of the music department for the year 1947 can be found in a new song. Not just any song. Mr. Lawless wrote the words and music; his wife, the accompaniment. Introduced at a chapel meeting, this song promises to become one of Poly ' s best, if not the best.
