A. W. Birdwell, president of Stephen F. Austin State Teachers College— Dr. Johnson had attained the highest ranking in his chosen field of chemistry. Along with his fine scholarship, he was straight, clean, and honest. I have never known a more honest gentle- man. Dr. R. H. Adams, SFA biology professor— Dr. Johnson was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He was a sincere man with a sound code of ethics; a man whose friendship 1 valued very highly. Fred Dorsey, SFA student- I think that his memory will live in our lives. He was always interested in students in school and watched them after school. He constantly thought of ex-students and their work. We will remember him not only as a teacher but also a friend and a counsellor.

Gibbs Hall, the new girls ' dormitory, which was first opened in the summer session of 1939, is the pride of the cam- pus in the way of hous- ihg. It is the home of 90 girls who decorate its comfortable and stylish interior and entertain in its attractively furnished lounges. The acme of the modern equipment, efficiency, and beauty, it stands apart from the rest of the buildings and yet it is the center of many of the prominent events of the year. It is named for Mrs. Eleanor H. Gibbs, Head of the Art Department for many years, who was loved by faculty and stu- dents alike. Its halls and furnishings reflect her spirit of refinement and artistic eood taste. Within the two build- ings pictured on this page occurs some of the most exciting action of our drama. The Boys ' Dormitory, located just a few steps behind the Main Building, was completed in 1936. It is equipped with the lat- est room communication system and with electric coolers on each floor. In addition to attractive and comfortable rooms for seventy-six boys, it houses the fashionable and inexpensive cafe- teria which is open to all of the student body. In the social room of the cafeteria many of the year ' s banquets and parties are held. Coach and Mrs. Willis are the successful foster parents of all the boys, and Miss Berrier manages the Cafeteria in addition to planning the meals for Gibbs Hall.
