James Morlock, A.M. The basement digging mentioned in the 1937 LinC has become a reality, and Dean Morlock, assistant professor of sociology ' , has acquired not only a house but a wife during the past year. This summer he plans a three-week eastern sociology trip which promises to make history in the lives of the fortunate thirty attending, and we hope it will not be so exhausting as to dull that boyish en¬ thusiasm which makes him such an exceptional Dean of Men. George R. McCoy, A.M. Mr. McCoy endeared himself to the education students when he taught during the first semester of last year, but he has had contacts with many more students as Public Relations officer this year, and has maintained a full schedule of trips and appointments as Evansville College contact man. He hails from the same Kentucky stamp¬ ing ground as does Miss Jones, evidenced by the de¬ lightful speech of both. Lucille Springer, B.S. Not only accomplished in a number of handicrafts but an artist at stenography, Mrs. Springer is one of these fortunate people who know how to make time for the things she likes to do. Sponsor of the Gamma Epsilon Sigma society, she has also organized a secretarial club for girls of her department, and is the first person who has been able to get the job of secretary of the faculty away from Professor Walker! Lucile Jones, A.M. An assistant professor of education. Miss Jones manages through the years to impart some of her charm and tact to each of her teacher-students without ever seeming to lose any of it. She enjoys people and likes to talk, a trait which she has made an accomplishment, but she still enjoys the solitude of her Mulberry Street apart¬ ment after a long day. She has served as president of the Association for Childhood Education this year. Isabel Reeves, B.S. Mrs. Reeves leads an interesting life hy teaching in the college Music and Education Departments during the fall and doing whatever she likes during the rest of the year; sometimes she even squeezes in a trip to Mexico during Christmas! Although her short hours at the col¬ lege restrict her contacts, she is known to be interested and interesting. She has traveled quite extensively and is interested in astronomy. Anna Louise Thrall, A.B., B.S. No one has been able to decide just what advanced de¬ gree Librarian Thrall should receive this year, for there is no doubt that she earned one travelling with the col¬ lege choir during February and March! And the best of it is that the choir voted her unanimously a ‘peach of a chaperon ' ! She has been secretary of the Faculty Dames this year, and is a faculty member of the Castalian Society.

10 A. M. SOCIAL SCIENCE Included in the Social Science division are the depart¬ ments of Economics and Sociology, Education and Psy¬ chology, and History and Political Science, That is, those were all until now. Latest revisions by the 1938 LinC editor add the library and the office of the field secretary! But if it simplifies matters any, we won’t heckle further. It might even seem a more logical classification than any other, for we know that students frequently utilize the library more for social pursuits than for either scientific or classical! Charles E. Torbet, A.M., Ed.D. No student remains in college long before he realizes the vital part Dean Torbet plays at Evansville College. He forms the one remaining link to Moores Hill College, our predecessor, and hears with him an amazing accumulation of knowledge and good sense which one can only admire. In moments he can spare from his duties as Dean of the college, he teaches history, enjoys his garden in Washing¬ ton Terrace, and belongs to Pi Gamma Mu. Heber Walker, A.M. Professor Walker said he wasn ' t going to have his picture in the LinC, but we demonstrated a new painless process of taking photographs when unsuspecting people answer knocks on their doors. And therefore, here he is, head of the Department of History and Political Science. He has been further classified as the school ' s most entertaining politician, hut gets pretty stiff competition from the stu¬ dent-officer candidates each spring! Charles E. Reeves, A.M., Ph.D. To some of you, Dr. Reeves may seem very businesslike as he presides over the Department of Education and Psychology from his third-floor office, and it has even been rumored that he causes high blood-pressure in his practice-teachers as he observes them, but we know bet¬ ter because we saw a twinkle in his eye! He is secretary- treasurer of the local Pi Gamma Mu chapter, and duti¬ fully collects the bucks from the chosen few. Dean Long, M.B.A. That really was a dirty trick to catch the oft-acclaimed ‘most popular professor’ at an off-moment as it were, but this is just to illustrate that a good economics professor can do more than cram it into his pupils! Professor Long, head of the Department of Economics and Sociology, has busied himself this year with the Athletic Board of Con¬ trol. It has been rumored that Long comes from Iowa, but he could not be reached for a statement. Alfred B. Cope, A.M. And speaking of eating, it is also true that a certain pro¬ fessor of education and psychology enjoyed a certain Y.W.- Y.M. Christmas party so much that he brought his ice cream and cake into class with him to show the less so¬ cially-inclined what they were missing! In ordinary cir¬ cumstances Professor Cope can be listed as the fairest of the fair, and we don ' t mean he is a blond! He is a mem¬ ber of Pi Gamma Mu and Phi Delta Kappa.

10 A. M. • . A-i OFFICE Ralph E. Olmsted, A.B. Back in the early 1920’s, little Ralph Olmsted was in college; as the years passed he grew and grew, until finally they decided he was big enough to fill the shoes of the executive secretary of that college, and there he is to¬ day! His voice has been heard frequently on the college radio hour (as the announcer!) and he acts as Evans¬ ville College’s chief advisor, whether it concerns working hours, LinC problems, Crescent deficits, N.Y.A., or light bulbs. It is also rumored that he teaches journalism when he remembers the class. Grace Crask No one ever believes that Mrs. Crask has been secretary to all three of Evansville’s presidents, but she has, and can tell some fine stories from this lot of experience. With a college president ' s business calling him hither and yon, it is not only nice but imperative to have a secretary who can handle any emergency arising, and such a person is Mrs. Crask. Marjorie Webster Popularly known as Marge, Mrs. Webster has continued to mix college courses with her duties as assistant registrar, and at latest reports she will be graduated in 1940. She is one of these comfortably obliging persons, and is inter¬ ested in dogs, antiques, flowers, and hunting. Catherine Dyer, A.B. Miss Dyer was graduated from Evansville College a few years ago and, after a fair trial at school-teaching, decided last year to return to her old haunts to become secretary to the executive secretary. She has her troubles, people wanting to charge books, wanting stamps, griping be¬ cause they don ' t get any mail, but they don’t ruffle her. She’s what we call efficient. Marcia McClung Marcia hopes that no one will misinterpret the b ars on her picture, but since she is known to most of the stu¬ dents as the one who demands their money, it seemed fitting to put the bookkeeper behind her window. This is the end of her second year, and she is still keeping her books neatly, so we’ll let her stay!
