The Business Office is manned by the Business Manager of the Col- lege and the Auditor. The financial records and accounts of the Col- lege are kept in this office, under the plan and system of the State Auditor. The Business Manager is a sort of Chancellor of the Exchequer. His office receives all funds col- lected by the College, Whether from registration and other fees, or from any other source, issuing receipts therefor. From this office come the orders for all purchases and the numerous O. K.'s re- quired on all invoices and vouch- ers. And of course, it is here that the bills are paid.

Administrcxtion gg efiaifzaz P. E. MCDONALD ....... . . . . . . . . . Registrar Regardless of the large number of his duties, it is for his keen mem- ory that those who come in contact with Registrar P. E. McDonald re- member him. lt is local tradition that once Mr. McDonald hears a person's name, and gets the face and name associated, he Will be able to call it Wherever and When- ever he meets that person again. So far, Mr. McDonald has not blasted this story. Mr. McDonald's full title is: Regis- trar, Associate Dean, and Professor of Latin, he received the Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Nashville, and the Master of Arts degree from Southern Methodist University. Primarily upon Mr. McDonald's shoulders fall the duty of attracting students to the College, and wholly upon his shoulders fall the duty of keeping the record of their scho- lastic achievements after they come here. Figures from his office revealed that 1,883 students had enrolled in the College through Ianuary 30, additional enrollments after that date probably brought this number above the l,9OO mark for the long session. The Saturday night picture shows, and other films shown from time to time during the long session and summer session are arranged by Mr. McDonald. That he is keep- ing abreast With the times is at- tested to by the quality and popu- larity of the films he books. ln addition to the usual routine duties of a registrars office, such as admission details, classification, registration, and keeping of rec- ords, the office of the registrar of the College, With the collaboration of the Placement Office, is success- fully maintaining a centralization bureau Where is kept not only the scholastic record of the student, but also data regarding his pre- college history, his personality, his moral and religious standards, his social and professional attitudes, and his success or failure as a teacher. A good impression of the College is assured prospective students in their relations with Mr. McDonald. Cheerful and energetic, we con- sider him one of the friendliest and most alert men on our campus. Page 10

Due largely to the vision and foresight of this one man, the Denton Teachers College is the possessor of what is termed one of the best recrea- tion parks in America. For many years Mr. Fouts, director of the de- partment of physical education, as Well as athletic director, dreamed of installing at the College a recre- ational system that would provide entertainment and healthful recre- ation for every student in the College. Untiringly, Mr. Fouts Worked out his plan for the park and finally got his idea approved. Appropriations then made the park possible. Eight years ago Work was earnestly begun upon this plot of ground that has given us many pleasant hours. With the aid of the members of the physical education department, Mr. Fouts Worked out a program for the system. Seven years ago this -program Was inaugurated, and it has become a great success. At Baylor University, Where Mr. Fouts received his B.
