DeWITT DAVIS, Professor of Education and Chairman of Education Department Dr.-Davis is proudest of being an old professor of an old school and of working with fine professors and young students. Never, for a minute, have I been unhappy. Dr. Davis has taught at AGI since the fall term of 1932. This teacher of teachers is also rather proud of his home at 715 West Nettie which was planned and built entirely by the Davis family. Constructed of caliche and cement five years ago, this old-world type hacienda home was built for this culture. climate, and vegetation, as well as for the activities of the dwellers. ' For fun, Dr. Davis versifies and plays tennis. A. F. DOERFLER, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds An avid movie photographer oft duty, Mr. Doerfler has come to love AGI in his three years here and plans to make this campus one of the most beauti- ful in the state.

He has begun this work and uses waste water from the remodeled swimming pool for irrigation of the campus. 25 HANT PERRY Agriculture Agriculture ROBERTS RUSSELL 2 E:
