«Hfe » Furthermore 1 n a further catalogue of officials, Taylor presents a small army. Her faculty and administrative officers are numerous, but their corp of secondaries prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the capability of T. U. to handle five hundred students. Two departments boast of student assistants. In Biology Professor Furbay is assisted by Albert Mathias, a Senior majoring in that field. Likewise, Professor Pogue has Harry Griffiths as his assistant in the Speech department. In the business office there is an efficient force of clerks to handle that end of administration. During the later part of the year Guy Duckwall was added to the staff to supervise the office work. Lola Ayres is the business-like lady who supervises the bookkeeping. Under these regular employees are a number of aids who work full or part time as needed. The Vice-President and Deans have selected secretaries from the student body to take care of their routine duties. In supervising the large dormitory Miss Delia Howard serves ef- ficiently. She has charge of all guest rooms and the hospital rooms. An innovation of the year was the employing of Miss Mary Furbay as the college nurse. It was largely through her work that we have had a mini- mum of disease this year. The very practical side of the university is cared for by Mr. Watkins, known to the student body as Daddy, who superintends the heating plant. He is ably seconded by Mr. Fox, plumbing engineer, who can be seen about the campus most any time. The trouble-chasing depart- ment is headed by Mr. Abbey, who is always on the job to fix things when they are damaged. The student janitors are supervised by William McNeil, who is in charge of the general maintainance of buildings. In conjunction with the university there are a number of institutions which serve very efficiently. The Corner Grocery is an enterprising con- cern under the management of Mrs. Keith. The Bookstore is also owned and operated by the university, under student management. The Taylor University Press is an established concern with a good business. It is successfully managed by Mr. Butsch. In close relation with the college is the Greenhouse which has been leased by Mr. Atkinson. It fills a very necessary place in supplying the dining hall with fresh vegetables. Twenty-Seven

Kletzing, Junior Campbell, Freshman Rhine, Senior Erbst, Special Kenyon, Sophomore The Student Council %, he Student Council this year has been outstanding because of its activity. Its main duty is to create a closer cooperation between the faculty and student body and to accomplish this the Council met several times with the Faculty, presenting the students ' viewpoint on the several ques- tions. Besides this, the Student Council has been active in other fields. On September 22nd it sponsored the first social affair of the year, a recep- tion given for the New Students. Throughout the school year it has been responsible for the Friday night programs in the Dining Hall. At the end of the winter term, the Council, for the first time in six years, sent a student delegate to the National Students Federation Conven- tion at Toledo, which met from December 29 to January 2. Then at the request of the President it divided the student body into twenty prayer and discussion groups. Acting upon a suggestion brought by a delegate to the National Volunteer Convention at Buffalo, a telegram was sent to President Hoover recommending that a student representative be included in the World Disarmament Conference. On April 9th another Faculty- Student get-to-gether was held in the Maytag Gymnasium and its success seemed the fitting end to a very successful year. Twenty-Eight
