DEAN HUNT Dean Hunt is the focal point for most administrative worries, and is probably the busiest man-on-campus nowadays. He ' s the man who interviews the vet- erans, decides their entrance qualifica- tions, and copes with their problems. Besides this he manages to find time for a genuine and friendly interest in the students — and interests as well in Milton, mountain climbing, and music. MR. PERKINS Vice-President as of this year, Mr. Perkins is no newcomer to Swarthmore, having graduated from it, married into it, and registered his small children for future Swarthmore classes. He has a wide academic and administrative background, having been on the Princeton faculty, and later connected with the OPA and Foreign Economic Administration. He is sure to be an able promoter of college interests in the future. MR. THATCHER As our new Comptroller, Mr. That- cher returns to the college after a three year absence working in an industrial plant. He is an alumnus of Swarthmore who later taught engineering here and was chairman of that department from 1927 to ' 36. His practical experience and intimate knowledge of Swarthmore fit him especially for his important position.

MRS. BEEMAN Another newcomer to Swarthmore, Mrs. Cecile A. Beeman, our Women ' s Vocational Director, has become a well-known figure by virtue of her in- formal pajama parties for the girls, her pleasant friendly room on 3rd East, and her readiness to help us with the prob- lems of job-finding and career-choos- ing. A woman of varied and cultured background, Mrs. Beeman has charm and ability. DEAN COBBS Since her arrival last September as our new Dean of Women, Miss Cobbs, has endeared herself to us by her friendliness, warmth, and sympathy — which, coupled with that Randolph-Ma- con drawl, add up to sincere and gen- uine Southern charm. Faced with the task of adjustment to a new college, Miss Cobbs has stepped with ability into her position as teacher of classics to some of us, advisor to many of us, and friend to all of us. MISS MORAN Another new arrival to the adminis- trative staff is the Associate Dean of Women, Alice Moran, who comes from a series of places including Purdue, Bennington, and the Harvard Grad- uate School. Young, attractive, and al- ways busy. Miss Moran can be counted on as solver of and advisor on the countless and ever-present co-ed problems.

Behind the Scenes Early in the morning the central machinery of the college is set in motion; first in the kit- chen and dining room, and then at the switch- board, in the post office, and in the executive offices. From then on, throughout the rest of the day, and through the night, the cogs and wheels of this intricate machine run smoothly and efficiently thanks to those behind the scenes.
