Deans Plan Acac Dean Raymond Van Cleef, Assistant Professor of Physical Education, Baseball Coach, and Acting Dean of Men. Dean Laurene Lighthouse, Assistant Professor of Education and Dean of Women. A successful year is no accident. The details of every activity of the year must be skillfully planned and thoroughly integrated before the year can be successful. Throughout the summer, the offices of the Deans have been working on the class schedules, the activities and rules for the year. As the students arrive, the ac¬ curacy of their plans begins to be tested. Mrs. Dorothy Felker, Secretary to Department of Education and Graduate School. Mrs. Becky Terry, Secretary to the Deans of Students.

On a local campus, one person is ultimately responsible for all the activities of the campus—that person is the President of the College. On him rests the responsibility of initiating plans for the welfare of the institution and the happiness of the stu¬ dents. In the face of the busy schedule of the presidential office, it is often hard to see when he has time to plan at all; yet the fact that the institution progresses is ample evidence that he does find the opportunity. President Bryan Wildenthal came to Sul Ross State College in 1952 from San Angelo Junior College, where he had also served as president. Since his arrival on campus Dr. Wildenthal has engineered many changes in the institution: new buildings have been constructed to care for the needs of an expanding student population, the faculty has increased and the degree of their preparation has grown, the academic standards of the classes have climbed, and the reputation of Sul Ross has been en¬ hanced throughout its area. He would be the last to claim that all these advancements are the result of his efforts, but he has been a central and guiding spirit in every one of them. President and Mrs. Wildenthal have two sons, both of whom attended Sul Ross, and a little granddaughter of which they are very proud. Mrs. Wildenthal, with her proverbial green thumb, has made the campus colorful with her beautiful flowers, and Dr. Wildenthal keeps a freezer full of freshly caught fish to share with faculty, friends, and students. J w m Mrs. Etta Koch assists President Wildenthal in his never-ending work. High Level Planning Begins the Year 9

mic and Student Life Dr. Delbert A. Dyke became the Dean of Sul Ross State College in 1961. He has been a member of the Sul Ross faculty since 1952, but he has extended his service on two occasions.

Dr. Frances Phillips, Chairman of the Gradu¬ ate Department, Chair¬ man of the Division of Social Studies, and Pro¬ fessor of History, return¬ ed to Sul Ross in the summer of 1962 to re¬ sume her connection with the college. Although she is a little woman, to most students who have contact with her, she is the epitome of scholarly exactness and sympathetic planning. Miss Kay White, Secretary to the Dean of the College. 11
