Dr. Higgins Cortland Normal is fortunate in having an efficient Board of Visitors as its gov- erning body. lNith Dr. Paul Higgins at the helm, the members concern thems- selves with the problems of teacher education. The board members are apt to be found gracing our important social functions, too, just to prove their interest in the entire school.

The nerve center of the school, here ac- tivities are planned, scheduled and ad- ministered. Here We have 'lthe inter- views, are called on the carpet, or seek the solution of our difficulties. How the office force ever gets the volume of work done is a mystery to all. Miss Bogardus Mrs. Moguin Mlm DI

1151- Dr. Harry DeWitt DeGroat 0UR PRINCIPAL S 'Physical and Social Fitness, the gen- eral theme of the l94l Didascaleion, has an especial significance in these mo- mentous days. To the Senior class of this year, who are all students in Physi- cal Education, it has obviously and nat- urally a professional importance, but l am thinking now of the broader impli- cation and application of the term for all of us, students and 'faculty alike. Qur country needs as never before in our lifetimes to feel sure of the integrity PEAKS and loyalty of every one of us as citizens, as Americans, ready to serve her in Whatever capacity she may reguire. National defense means far more than bearing arms. lt means doing with en- ergy and efficiency the tasks that are ours in the home, the school and in all the social relationships We must fulfill. To be good Americans we must as never before be strong, be busy, be capable. We must be physically and socially fit.

Dr. Brown can be found deep behind his high-topped desk up on second floor where he holds forth with Miss Haw- kins' assistance. This is the office from whence is exercised the general direction of the teacher-training pro- gram and the administration of an intri- cate schedule of work for students and faculty. With patience and understand- ing the Delphic Oracle speaks and a hundred individual snarls are untangled that rules don't touch. X And if you want to know the middle name of' Claude l-larris, here a while in 1925, or how many times Susie Summers cut Biology in 1931-32, ask Mildred Hawkins. Mr. Natoli--fbetter known as l'Angie to the students who pass through Cort- land's portals-left the office force in Mr. Natoli March for service as a draftee. HAngie apparently renders the same splendid service to Uncle Sam as he did to Cort- land Normal, for latest dispatches from Fort Niagara say that llAngie is acting as secretary to Major Gwen. Though we miss him, Miss Drexel and Mrs. Thurber continue to keep things humming with their cheery smiles and Grade A work. M155 Drexel Mrs. Tl'1LlI'bG1'
