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.

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

HARRIS DAVID ERICKSON, Professor ofPl1ilosophy.M.'I'l1., Berkeley Divinity School, 1933. Professor Erickson, as head of the Philosophy Department, has contributed much to the stabilif zation of the spiritual life of the students. His simple illustrations, such as starting' at a point and letting the class decide whither bound, have been a means of clarihcation of some of the foggy ideas recovered from the musty archives of the ancient philoso' phers. Incidentally, there is al' ways a point to his lectures. DOROTHY LOUISE GIL- MORE, Instructor in Violin, String Ensemble, and Orclresf tra. Graduate, College of Puget Sound Normal Department, 1927. Here comes Gilmore now! Not with the roar of the lion, but with the strains of a fiddle. Her chief virtue is harmony among the many adverse vibrations emit' ted by her orchestral instruments. She holds her classes at the prop' er pitch and seldom gives them a rest. She has no strings on anything but her orchestra, but the brass of the wind section will lmglp her blow her way through 1 e. VIOLET E. HARRIS, lnstruc' tor in Art. B.F.A., University 0fMlSl1f71gfO71, 1925. The perspective of our vision has been colored by our art in' structor, Miss Harris. Although some of her classes have prof duced work that had to be shaded, there was enough color in each masterpiece to produce a half anced effect. Miss Harris has many lines with which she works, and she sometimes takes a sharp curve, but she invariably has a rhythm that swings into action and creates something beautiful. MABEL R. SHIPLEY, Professor of History. A.M., University of Vtkrshington, 1932. Miss Shipley is the one teacher who lives in the past, and yet who is never out of dates for the present. The phrase, fasten that in your thinking, has come to mean a dark foreboding that in the future the fact referred to will return to haunt the student who, a few weeks earlier, was wool gathering. Miss Shipley's students are reminded of Chau' eer's words, And still they gazed, and still their wonder grew, that one small head could carry all she knew. LILLIAN DANIELSON, Pro' fessor of Speech. A.B., College of Puget Sound, 1924. One thing for which we shall always remember Miss Danielson is that she won for the school this year membership in Pi Kap' pa Delta, a national honorary in Speech. Her courses offer a varif ety of oh's and al1's and shipfaf hoy's, all in variations of gut' teral, nasal, and boisterous tones, but since she is a career woman, she adds her enthusiasm and vigor to her instruction and leads her students through to certain victory. GOLDANELSON KENDRICK, Professor of French. Pl1.D., University of Waslzington, I939. Witlx still another doctor in our midst, there should be no reason for those ill feelings experienced by students walking into a French test. Dr. Kendrick has only one prescription to offer for a satis- fied, healthy condition, and a French A, and that is study, LOUIS HART, Instructor in Physical Education and Direcf tor oj'Atl1letics. A.B., Univerf sity of Southern California, 1937. Louie has been more than Coach to the fellowsg he has been a real pal. Wlietlmer putting varsity men through their paces, calling difficult decisions on the baseball diamond, or chasing an elusive ball around the Foster Golf Course, he has been a friend to everyone. GRACE L. MARSTON, Super' visor of Cadet 'Teaching in the Primary Department. A. B., University of Waslrington, 1933. The tinkle of a little bell and a pleasant voice calling, Get in the line, children, tell us that Mrs. Marston is shepherding her little flock into the training school, where she is 'supervisor of the primary grades. With an eye for the cheerful, colorful things that children lovefancl a thoughtful memory of their birthdays and individual interests, she wins the hearts of pupils and cadet teach- ers alike. . X3
