Business Manager Many of the practical changes seen around campus this year can be traced back to the foresight and initiative of our new business man- ager, IVIr. Paul Keller. Formerly on the music staff, Mr. Keller has as- sumed his responsibilities with amazing efficiency. Under his management, class- rooms have been beautified, candy- vending machines installed in vari- our buildings, and the Walker Museum moved to its new home on the first floor of the Administration Building. Business Office Siaff Some of the unsung heros of Tay- lor University can be found in the business office. There, in a spirit of co-operation and friendliness, the business office staff has carried on the very necessary work connected with finances. All the calculations, records, and hnancial reports are compiled by this group of workers. This year a new look was given to the business office due to their initiative. Pictured are Fern Clark, Evelyn Meyers, Deloris Rhoades, Betty Furbay and Jane Lewis. Switchboard The cheerful smile that greets students and visitors upon entering the Administration Building comes from Mrs. Herber, chief telephone operator. Her work consists of ans- wering inquiries, making connec- tions with telephones all over the campus, and taking charge of all lost and found articles. Typing Pool Needing anything in quantity? These two ladies type and mimeo- graph material for both students and professors. One of their main as- signments is that of preparing copies of the examinations which profes- sors are only too prone to give. Though their work has often been behind the scenes, it has always been performed with graciousness and accuracy. Pictured are Mrs. Margaret Gillis and Mrs. Rowena Hoover. 25

Registrar One of Ihe busiest women on campus this year was Dr. Gladys Trevithick, Registrar and Director of Admissions. Being responsible for the receiving of applicants and pav- ing the way for their entrance to Taylor, plus many other duties per- taining to academic life made her an invaluable member of the Taylor family. Field Representative Prior to his resignation, Dan Esau, also a 1951 graduate, worked as field representative for Taylor. He was responsible for representing Taylor in surrounding areas, ac quainting people with the school and soliciting funds. Taylor was glad for the work that he did. Public Relations Director Marion Wilson, A Taylor graduate of last year, has returned to work in the Public Relations department. Her work is composed of writing news releases, compiling Taylor Bulletins, and handling all the ad- vertising and contributions made to the school. Her pleasing personality helps to make up the friendly atmos- phere found at Taylor. Secretaries Filling the position of secretary to Dean Wiebe , Valoyce Nordberg has demonstrated unusual efficiency. As a member of the senior class, she has attained Who ' s Who In Ameri- can Colleges and Universities. Roberta Kessler, another 1951 graduate, has been employed this year as receptionist and secretary to President Bergwall. Robbie , as she is known to most Taylor stu- dents, has become a real friend to the student body.

Permeated with the discussion and learning ot many students, the classrooms at Taylor have again this year been places of discovery and challenge. Learning, however, has often been carried outside the classroom into many areas of school life. For instance, progressive educa- tion teaches that the best way to grasp a lan- guage is by repeating sweet nothings to your favorite beaux outside class. Business, history, English, P.E., foreign lan- guages, psychology, speech — all have taken their toll of the students ' valuable time. Never- theless, classrooms, and all they imply, have be- come a treasured part of Taylor memories. Knowledge Comes Leil: Chemist, at work. Upper Right: asdf jkl;.
