ever advancing us A FRONT-SEAT .-xnM1N1sTRA'1'oR, President Bancroft Beatley was busier than ever this year when he toured the country speaking at alumnac gatherings in behalf ofthe 5oth Anniversary Appeal. Sim- mons could send no better representative lor its cause than Mr. Beatley, whose forethought, energy, and genialty have been observed in play at Sim- mons as well as during his travels. President Beatley came to Student Government lzinzxeyf two years ago when it became necessary to raise the tuition in order to allow the College to maintain its high standing. He presented and explained the plan to the Council, inviting ques- tions, and giving rebuttals which satisfied the student representatives. The President finds time for hobbies as well as for duties. A well-rounded man, his zealous man- ner may stem from his summertime housepainting or from his model railroad penchant. Simmons salutes President and Mrs. Beatley, genial hosts each year to Stu-G and ICC. Simmons is growing because of them. This yearas graduating class hopes that they will soon see their plans for the new Simmons going into effect. l Q S Il BIIIICTQW 1J,6'l1fIf11', Ed.D., Litl.D., LI..D Rffflillflltg

The Dean must be cominglll Upperclass campus entertains the Dean at dinner many times during the course ofthe year, and the presence of candles and flowers on the table is the sure clue to the fact that Miss Mesick is in the vicinity. Though the light is dim, thc girls around the Dean can still see the glint of interest in her eyes as they quickly dart around the hall, acknowledg- ing smiles and nods with a friendly twinkle. At after-dinner coffee those same eyes are never still- they study each girl as she speaks, and they shine as Miss Mesick entertains with tales of her myriad memories: the matches she has manoeuvredg her adventures with her carg committees and boards she has served on: her trips back to her Alma Nlater, lit. Holyoke .,,. Although campus girls have this extra oppor- tunity to get to know their Dean, commuters be- come familiar with her as well-at conferences, and in the receiving line of the many formals given during the college year. Raconteur, match-maker, counselor, friend. This is Jane Louise lX1esick, Dean of Simmons, Lzoj ,
