The lure of big business takes many and many a stu- dent down the hall to the COMMERCE office, where is to be found an efficient ar- ray of teachers and secre- taries, and a dictaphone that charms all who behold it. Head of the division, Mr. Eugene P. Brown rules with kindly capability in this at- mosphere of efficiency. Mr. Charles E. Christopher teaches merchandising and acts as financial adviser for practically everything. Mrs. Virginia H. Moses presides over struggling typists and with a few mysterious notes produces reams of mimeo- graphing. Miss Maude E. Rich, lately returned from a leave of absence, has resumed her place at the head of the bookkeeping classes and in machine calculation. The ENGLISH LAN- GUAGE AND LITERA- TURE Division holds forth from a cozy office bulwarked with books and copies of the P.M.L.A. (please note pic- ture). Dr. Allison, head of the division, is especially noted for her oral interp. and Shakespeare classes. Mr. Ed- mund J. Robins, co-author of the Term Paper Manual and Model, and author of a book of poetry and, it is rumored, of a novel, makes freshman literature fascina- ting. Mrs. Nora Parker Coy handles her share of prepara- tory English classes and is a favorite for composition courses. Mrs. Glenn B. Mer- ryfield is the guiding angel of the Warwhoop and the perpetrator of the stiff Eng- lish survey course. Mr. Ar- thur R. Truscott exhorts de- Division of Commerce: Mrs. Virginia M.

Dean of Men: Frank B. Lindsa) Dean of Women: Dr. Tempe Allison Registrar-Treasurer: Gilbert C. Lamb represents Colton; Dr. Philip M. Savage, Sr., San Bernardino, and Mr. Wilmer N. Glasscock, Rialto. ■jf Speaking of energetic people and the f ate of minor empires brings us directly to the deans. The DEAN OF MEN, Frank B. Lindsay, from the depths of an office abuzz with activity, dispenses leaves of absence, cinch notices, good humor, and friend- ly advice. Mr. Lindsey acts also as head of the calendar committee, directs the giving of aptitude tests, and has charge of a complicated system of student employment. The DEAN OF WOMEN, Dr. Tempe E. Alli- son, from the recesses of her office, usually a labyrinth of costumes and stage sets, sew- ing machines, ironing boards, and fasci- nating furor, advises the women students, consults all comers about what-they-will, and at times confers with certain specified individuals about cinch slips. Dr. Allison manages in the midst of it all to find time to wangle student scholarships, to supervise student employment, to write, and to direct all of the dramatic productions of the col- lege. Gilbert C. Lamb, REGISTRAR- TREASURER, fills his days, and incident- ally, stacks his office, with blue-prints and tile samples for the new auditorium, and with complicated schedules for the use of the Social Hall and A- 17. He orders chairs and tables for everything from a doughnut sale to an alumni banquet, and makes financing plans for the Cafeteria, the Book- store, and the Warwhoop. 20

The FOREIGN LAN- GUAGES office is so full of exotic foreign posters that we even worked one into the picture. Miss Mattie M. Ramelli, the head of the di- vision and instructor in ad- vanced French and Spanish, left after Spring vacation to secure her doctor ' s degree, and Mr. Matthew U. Weight- man has taken over her classes. Mrs. Marion L. Goodcell sympathetically drills irreg- ular French verbs into thick freshman skulls. And Miss Dorathea Frahm smilingly handles the mysteries of Latin and German and acts as ad- viser for the Y ' se Women and the Bookstore. The Division of ART is represented by Miss Amanda Jacobson, who keeps the halls lined with examples of her students ' work in posters, still-life, and surrealism. A special crafts class has been offered this past semester un- der Miss Laura Andreson of U.C.L.A. From the half-construct- ed rooms of the new MUSIC and Drafting Building, issue high soprano tones and the notes of a saxophone which can be heard way over by the library.
