Administration . San Bernardino Valley Junior College Fall, 1941 Dear Betty, Fm keeping busy every minute. I ' d never be able to keep everything straight if it weren ' t for Dr. Allison. She is our Dean of Women, you know, and she really makes the worn ' en ' s activities click. She knows just which of us are in charge of each activity, and I think she knows the ' ' ' ' ' ■ ' ™ name of every girl m school. Since I ' ve been going to the Co-ordination Council meetings, I ' ve even gotten to know Dean Brown and Dr. Ricciardi. From the way the fellows always tremble in their boots when they get their cinch notices, I always thought Dean Brown was an ogre, but he ' s swell. He has the nicest way of explaining things in a slow, earnest voice that makes even me understand. I can ' t help feeling a bit afraid of Dr. Ricciardi, but maybe it ' s a good thing. He ' s not a bit austere at the Co-ordination Council meetings, though. From the number of conferences he attends, we know he ' s really keeping the school up-to-date. I always seem to he going to see Mr. Lamb, the registrar. He does everything, from signing requisitions to arranging details for the stage or --« Social Hall. But with all K dfl Hl duties, he never seems V flH K impatient or worried. IP ' r I B Someone else you should know is Miss Storr, who keeps our junior col- lege library one of the best. She ' s awfully nice, too. I guess I don ' t do o much as I thought 1 did. At any rate, we couldn ' t get along with- out these people. Ginny I

Faculty . . San Bernardino Valley Junior College 19414942 Dear Carol, No, I ' m not a bit tired of jaysee. There are too many things to keep me interested — dances, assemblies, teachers — and speaking of teachers, I suspect that the faculty is the main reason for my continued enjoyment of classes and school activities. All the profs here are specialists in their re spective fields, and they are not only willing to help us with classwork but also with personal problems. Serious as they are about their work, however, every one of them is blessed with a keen sense of humor — and a sense of humor is definitely a necessity, even in a teacher, don ' t you think? Of course, I have some extra special favorites, but all of them are strictly from okay. I am better ac- quainted with the English department than with the other divisions, but I have met almost every member at various school functions; teachers are such grand people outside of classrooms — I mean, they can be so much fun! Well, gosh, I don ' t suppose you are as interested in these people as I am, but I DO like to tell somebody about school things and stuff. Goodbye now, Ginny
