BLY, registrar, was known to the students primarily as the patient listener to pleas for additional hours and as the one responsible for sending out the semester grades. In addition to his regular work, he taught courses in General Applied Psychology and the Far East, hlling the latter course with many interesting first-hand anecdotes. Having been superintendent of a secondary Chinese school for twelve years, his major interests were still in Chinese affairs and language. He has visited Iapan four times, spending a three months wedding trip there. VVhile a student at St. Olaf, he was two-year editor of the Messenger. Lois Brenna, his assistant since 1935, made the tables and summaries of registration and gave the students information as to their academic standings. Wearing his sheepskin coat, Edward C. Cook, kindly Doc, was often seen climbing the gymnasium stairs to his office, where, as director of the student health service, he held independent sway. Known to the student body for his abrupt announcements concerning health lectures, he also delivered required hygiene lectures and taught as a professor in the department of Physical Education. I-Ie has been very active in scouting, and recently received the highest award, the Silver Beaver. Our two cheery nurses, Miss Canutta Stolee, director of the hospital, and Miss Nina Hielman, were new this year, having served previously in a St. Paul hospital. Liked by all for their unfailing good humor and helpfulness, Stolee and Red made friends easily and were as sympathetic with the scared Frosh girls as with embarrassed senior fellows.
