PHILIP F. ASHTON, Vice President and Professor of Psychology. A.M., Ph.D., Uni- versity of XMish.ington, 1937. The administrative position of Dr. Ashton has been invaluable to the school. In addition to his office duties, he has assisted the class advisers. We shall particu- larly remember him for the con- sistent manner in which he breaks chalk at the blackboard, and his contagious smile in chapel accom- panied by the familiar words, We are adjourned. BURTON L. BEEGLE, Regis- trar and Professor of Mathe- matics. M.S., University of MlSlll11glO71, 1936. One reason why Professor Beegle is so popular is that he keeps a record of the pedigrees of all the students. He knows our an- cient history and our family treesg he makes a record of our marks of genius and our feeble efforts. There are many angles to his point of view, and he maintains that hgurcs do not lie. HARRY B. ANSTED, Profes- sor of Economics and Business Administration. Director of Public Relations and Bursar. A.M., F.C.I., Institute of Com- merce Qffnglandj, 1931. Every institution needs a business manager like Professor Ansted, who is the director of our domes- tic and foreign relations. He negotiates treaties for play- grounds, cornerstones, student working hours, and tuition fees, and he handles all labor prob- lems, such as sitfdown strikes and walkouts. FRANK F. WARREN, Dean of School of Religion and Profes' sor of Theology and Biblical Literature. A.M., Drew 'Theo- logical Seminary, 1924. Besides teaching, Professor Wir'- ren has been the narrator on the Fellowship Hour radio program and has lectured throughout the Northwest, being accompanied by the Victory Male Quartette. His Christian character has touched and influenced the life of every student. His is one of the few, the immortal names that was not born to die. OTTO M. MILLER, Dean and Professor of Physics. M.S., Kansas State College, 1932. We shall remember Dean Miller as hurriedly clutching his books and dashing off to class as if he were a student trying to get there on time. His most essential requi- site in teaching is a blackboard and a piece of chalk, without which he would be rendered helpless. As Dean of the School, he has had many opportunities to be a real friend of the student body and to help solve its many perplexing problems. JACOB MOYER, Dean of Men and Professor of Chemistry. A.M., University of Michigan, 1907. Dean Moyer will ever be remem- bered as a true friend of the fellows. As Dean of Men and Supervisor of Alexander Hall, his fatherly advice has come to mean much to all. Who can for- get those sessions'in the Chemis- try Lab, with the bunsen burner and those reeking chemicals? But above all else, those hours in family prayers have lifted him to a place of a real spiritual guide. CANDIS NELSON, Dean of College of Education and Pro- fessor of Education. A.M., University of Nebraska, 1910. One person in this college who believes in education is Miss Nelson. We can bluff all the other teachers, but Miss Nelson always knows when a student completes his four-year loaf and becomes college bred. In spite of the fact that all normal stu- dents have forsaken us, Miss Nelson still maintains that she is a Normal teacher. MABEL JONES MOYER, Direc- tor of School of Music and Instructor in Piano. The firm, energetic step of Mrs. Moyer as she walks across the campus is symbolic of the defi- nite leadership she gives to our music department. Then too, the juniors have appreciated the good times which she and Dean Moyer have made possible, for, as an adviser of the junior Class, she has brought success to this posi- tion where back-seat driving abil- ity is an asset. ll

THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET Doctor Ashton, Professor Beegle, President Watson, Dean Miller, Professor Ansted. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE REETINGS to the Associated Students-381 strong-of the forty-seventh year of this Christian college which is making history in demonstrating that it is possiblefor an institution of higher learning to maintain both high scholarship standards and a deeply spiritual emphasis. Maintaining such an institution does mean sacrifice! Attending such an institution means devotion to an ideal. To keep Spiritffilled and have the approval of God on your life is worth more than worldly honor. It is a real privilege thus to greet you at the threshold of this book. In a splendid way you have portrayed in word and picture something of the beauty of the campus, the wholesomeness of the social life, the spirit of camaraderie in student affairs, loyalty to God's word, devotion to Christian service, and the emphasis placed upon the need of every student building a wellerounded christian personality. Thus to portray the various forms of school life of course requiresumany pictures-pictures of people and places, of gatherings, of events and happenings-candid camera and studio pictures- pictures solemn and sedate-pictures humorous and perhaps sometimes incongruous. Pictures are so common we frequently overlook the scientific miracle involved. The wonderful process by which a sensitized photographic plate is exposed and a picture produced is very simple, however, compared to the mental process by which one's mind receives and holds an image for later use in memory. This miracle of the memory has baffled the philosophers of all time, but its blessings are within the reach of everyone. The 1940 Cascade with its many pictures will assist our memories in making it possible for us from time to time to reflive some of the high points of the year. In this way, though perhaps far removed from one another, we shallpbe able to renew our friendships, extend our sympathies, and enioy again by the miracle of pictures the delightful experiences of this year's fellowship. May God richly bless and keep every one of you! C' C. HOYT WATSON.

ELSIE C. WATSON, Dean of Women: Instructor, Orleans Seminary, 1910-ll. The Dean of Women commands no little distinction in herself, but Mrs. Watson carries the add' ed prestige of being the wife of the President, so she may well be said to be twice blessed. The high esteem in which she is held because of her ability to advise and still retain as true friends the women of the student body, has won for her a unique place in the hearts of the Assof ciated Women of S.P.C. DOROTHY FRYER, Secretary to the President. A.B., Seattle Pacific College, 1939. We have always appreciated the cheery countenance and willing spirit of helpfulness manifested by Miss Fryer when one enters the oilice. Her eitlicient assistance has been granted to all, and her many capabilities have been a valuable asset in the administraf tion of school business. CAROL H. SCHENCK, Superf visor of Cadet Teaching in IntermediateDepartment.A.B., Seattle Pacijic College, 1937. Although she lives half way to Tacoma, Mrs. Schenck is never out of the interest of the train' ing school. When she characterf istically says, Lesson plans are due on Friday, or kindly sugf gests, You have two or three discipline problems to work out, cadet teachers realize how intif mately she understands those grades she supervises. HARVEY C. MCMILLIN, Pro' fessor of Zoology. Ph.D., Stan- ford University, 1935. When we see dislocated hearts and lungs in the Lab, we know it is Doc McMillin cutting up capers to show his students how they are made. Doc has been called .the largest object on the campus, but nature knew that a great heart like his could not be confined in a small body. lilf MARGARET A. BURSELL, Librarian. B.S., University of Xkhishington, 1931. Quiet and unassuming, yet eihf cient and responsible is our librarian, Miss Bursell. She moves so quietly through the library that we never know she is about until we wish to tell those favor' ite jokes which were better told outside. Although she is small of stature we cannot deny her strength, for she has put such men as Caesar, Napoleon, Foch, Moltke, and Hitler on the shelf and laid world empires aside. VIVIAN K. BLAIR, Instructor in Christian Education. M.R.E., Biblical Seminary, New York, 1934. Although one of the newest addif tions to the faculty, Mrs. Blair has iilled a very prominent posi' tion this year in her Christian Education classes. Her interest seems to have been divided among the children in books and an infant at home. We expect that some day the baby girl will be signing up with Mama and Papa for courses at S.P.C. C. MAY MARSTON, Professor of English. A.M., University of Vkhsliington, 1914. Miss Marston's classes are quite the ideal, as her style of teaching is always as you like it. Often she takes her students through the tempest, and they begin to 'feel love's labor lost, but at the end of the quarter they know that all's well that ends well. LILLIAN PICKENS, Precep- tress, Instructor in English. A.B.,-Greenville College, 1916, Shhh! lt's study hour, girls - Miss Pickens is on the job! Her sweet disposition and unlimited patience will be remembered a great deal longer than her apolof getic, Now, girls, l don't like to make these speeches, but . . . Bringing sandwiches or cake in the evening or remembering the girls' birthdays with a favor cup -these are expressions of her kindly supervision of Grace Tiff fany Hall.
