ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS DR. WALTER C. JACKSON Our Dean of Administration is one of our best friends on the campus. Dr. Jackson is a remark- able personality; he always has time to listen to our troubles and to congratulate us on our suc- cesses. His charm, his personality, his ability to understand college students ore just a few of the things that make Dr. Jackson beloved and respect- ed by all. Dr Jackson is always reedy to advise and capa- bly takes situation into his hands if he deems it necessary; but he has a remarkable facility of stim- ulating initiative in the students to manage their own responsibilities. His belief in a true democratic student government always prevails. DR. WALTER CLINTON JACKSON MISS HARRIET ELLIDT We have been willing to share Miss Elliot this year only because she is serving her country as a member of the Defense Commission. Miss Elliot has absolutely dispelled all of our fears about the cold impersonality of the typical dean of women She has a warm heart and a place in it for every girl at Woman ' s College. Although Miss Elliot has been doing the almost superhuman task of holding two major positions, she has found the time to come back to our campus often this year. She has been aided by the counsellors and Miss May Lottimore who have assumed added responsibilities. lv%ufafiM T AAaa Um£ MISS HARRIET ELLIOT

Our DrunL THE FACULTY During our four years of college life, our faculty has befriended and guided us throughout the devious paths of education. Everything from English novels and history dates to the antics of white rats has been presented to us in a concerted effort to round out our cultural back- ground and increase our appreciotion of life in general. Obviously, it now becomes our duty to show our gratitude by frying to live up to what they have taught us. Our association with our betters has not been merely as note-takers in the classroom as this annual proves. Besides formal teas and receptions and such, most of us will carry away with us pleasant memories of after-dinner coffee at the homes of many of our faculty. How many of us have been favored with the famous cheese biscuits and eagerly begged the recipe from one instructor? How many have been oddly surprised and pleased by the combination of Chinese fruits and ice cream in the home of onother? How many authors and books hove we learned painlessly in amusing gomes? For all of us these will be among the dearest recollections of our college life. Through the mazes of eight hectic registrations ond getting majors and minors unraveled, they hove led the seniors. From the first confused registration as bewildered freshmen who weren ' t quite sure what it was all about, to our sigh of relief with the lost signature on our senior program cord, we morveled at our advisers who seemed to know unerringly exactly what we hod to take when. With such turmoil surrounding them, their calm understanding of our problems has been a continuous source of amazement and thonkfulness on our port. We can thank them for remembering their undergraduate days and trying to orrange those blissful morn- ings without eight o ' clock classes. We have them to thank for Saturdays when we could sleep until twelve. And what college girl con soy that she doesn ' t snatch all possible moments of rest? We meet our faculty in the Junior Shop for conferences. We learn thot one professor has been watching women knit so long that he is an expert critic of the best techniques involved We leorn which professors do not consider knitting a substitute for notes ond we respect their opinions. We cheerfully tuck our needles and yarn owoy to bring them out in other classes. We argue the fate of the world in open forums in the Halls with a professor as chairman. We lounge on sofas and choirs, the floor or whatever we con find, and seriously consider current events. We become better citizens for these discussions pro and con of situations on and off campus. We are learning every minute of our doily life. And so, we proudly present our faculty. Not, perhaps, a combination of all the virtues, but a group of friendly people, interested in us and our problems as individuals and en masse. First, may we introduce Dr, McKee Fisk, head of the department of Secretarial Administration, FISK Dr, B, B, Kendrick, head of the His- tory department, feels that, as in other years, the department ' s mam objective is to instill a knowledge of the finer points of history in those who elect to study in this field. As in other de- partments, plans ore being laid to celebrate cur fiftieth year. The con- tribution of this department and that of the department of Sociology under Mr, Glenn R. Johnson in colloborotion with others, such as Philosophy, is to be a book of essays. The book will be published under the editorship of Miss Vera Largent, Mr. George M. Joyce heads the Commercial department which gives a one-year course in whot the better secretary should know. The Art Gallery has become on in- stitution of the Art department under Mr, Gregory D, Ivy. The special summer course offered at Beoufort under his direction is unique among southern schools. There students work hard to master technique and acquire a sun tan. Another innovation is the class in Advertising and Display in which the girls betake themselves to town and actually decorate shop windows in order to put their theories into prac- tice. Never let it be said, however, that the department omits the trodi- tionol art work, for it doesn ' t. KENDRICK JOHNSON JOYCE IVY llMidui2M T AAai V MS
