Dean of Men The Men's Council is an organization consisting of the adviser, Dean Anderson, and representatives from each class and each major organization in the school. The student representatives of the council are Mate Pilling, president; William Holtrop, vice president; Hugh Eisenhart, secretary and treasurer; Dick Hartford, Darrell Stultz, Herbert Smith and Joe Jacobson. The purpose of the organization is to arrange programs for the men’s meetings and to take care of the men’s loan fund. This council has nothing to do with the general routine of the dean's business but is merely an aid to him by taking the duties already mentioned off his shoulders. The council meets twice each month, at which times it con- ducts the necessary business and arranges for the men’s meetings which are held the third Thursday of each month. The council tries to arrange for student programs as much as possible. The men’s loan fund is controlled by the finance committee consisting of the Men’s Council, Dean Anderson, and President Martin. All loans arc passed upon by this com- mittee before they are made. The committee reports that the fund has been increased very materially in the last two years. The men students have cooperated in a campaign to raise money for this purpose, from which a number of deserving students have received aid. Dr. J. T. Anderson, in addition to his instructional duties, is the Dean of Men and the adviser of the Men’s Council, and serves on many of the most important faculty' committees. The enrollment in his classes is large because of his popularity with the students who know him. In discussing the popularity of his classes one student said, Mr. Anderson is my idea of an ideal teacher. I admire his method of teaching.” Mr. Anderson has a pleasing personality and is always willing to help a student with his problems and perplexities.

Dean of Women All girls in school arc members of Women’s League, A group of girls known as Dean's Council, chosen from classes and campus organizations, forms the executive body of Women’s League. Each year the Dean’s Council sponsors the sale of magazines during the summer quarter. The commission re- ceived from these sales lias made possible several contributions to the school during the last few years. Among the more outstanding have been: a brass tea service, linen, seats for the campus and the dormitory gardens, a one hundred dollar payment on the pipe organ, another one hundred dollar con- tribution toward the stage curtains, the third floor drinking fountain, four oil paintings, dishes for school functions, and jardinieres and vases for decoration. This year fifty dollars was expended for beautifying Mrs. Elliott’s office. Dean Elliott Contributions from Women’s League members maintain a loan fund which over a period of years has accumulated almost five hundred dollars. Under the direction of Genevieve Keenan the Council sponsored the Hallowe’en Festival, one of the largest all-school affairs of the year. Neither students nor townspeople will soon forget the parade and the stunts which preceded the costume dance held in the gym rhat night. A hay rack decorated to resemble the home of The Old Woman Who Lived in the Shoe” gave first prize among the floats to the girls of Green Terrace. First place among the stunts went to a comic boxing match presented by the Y. M. C. A. The horse drawn hearse complete with flower girls, mourners, torch bearers, and grave diggers followed by the Caledonian float took second place in the float contest, while the burial service which re- vealed the deceased to be Wayne Teachers College gave the Cals second in the stunts as well. Third place among stunts went to the Aspasiam; in the floats, to the Y. W, C. A. Dean's Council Top Row—G. Keenan. E. Albrecht. V. Bart, C. Carter. C, Clark, A. Eckhardt. First Row—E. Forsyth, £ .

L Anna V. Jennings Floy C. Carrol! Hazel Rea The Library The library is the most helpful department in the college, and the librarians try from year to year to make it more helpful to students. It is administered by Miss Anna V. Jennings, the librarian, who received her B. L. S. degree from the University of Illinois in 190S. Miss Jennings has been in her present position for twenty-nine years. She is assisted by Miss Hazel Rea, the library cataloguer, who received her B. S. degree from Southwest Missouri State Teachers College in 1925; her B, S. degree in Library Science from the University of Illinois in 1927; her A. M. degree from the same institution in 1929; and she did six weeks of graduate study at Columbia University in the summer of 1932. Miss Rea has been in her present position four years. Miss Floy C, Carroll is the supervisor of the A. O. Thomas School libraries. She received her A. B. degree from Knox College in 1925; her B. S. degree in Library Science from the University of Illinois in 1927; her A. M. degree from the same institution in 1929. Miss Carroll has been employed here five years. These librarians are assisted by an efficient student force consisting of Harriet Graf, the typist, Alvin Anderson, Carlisle Anderson, Marion Nelson, Matt Pilling, Evelyne Bussell, and Gladys Nelson. The library is furnished for the students’ advantage and, to make it a greater advantage, it has been kept open evenings since the depression to give students, who have had to work during the day to make their way through college, an opportunity to use it. A browsing corner which students may use during their leisure time has been provided. Pictures are bought with the lost book and fine funds. Last year the painting October Gold” by Elizabeth Dolan was added to the wall attractions. This is one of Miss Dolan’s outstanding pictures. She is a Nebraska artist and has murals in the State Capitol and Morrell Hall at Lincoln. The library has a textbook collection of elementary and secondary books. This collec- tion was started in the summer of 1934. The texts are furnished by the publishers and can- not be removed from the library. This textbook library opens into the Elementary school library and is administered by its librarian. M. Pilling. A- Anderson. C. Anderson. W. Bruce. E. Bussell. H. Graf, D. Nelson. M. Nelson.
