With calls for a far greater number of teachers than the school can meet coming in each day, E. H. iFARRING- TON, director of the placement division, is faced with the task of placing North Texas graduates in the best teaching spots possible. At the present time, North Texas exes are serving in the profession throughout the country. n ..DliREcToRs Following the death of Dr. I.. A. Sharp, who had served as dean of the graduate division since 1937, DR. JACK JOHNSON officially took over the job of directing the advanced work of those uhighandmightyn students who are putting in overtime working on their master's degree. Dr. johnson also serves as chairman of the graduate council. Director of teacher training and head of the demon- stration school, DR. J. C. MATTHEWS occupies one of the most important spots on the faculty or administrative staff. His is the dual job of seeing that prospective teachers receive practical experience while the students in Demo receive competent classroom instruction. -vv.A.-.-.-.-.-.-.- -,-,.,.-A,.,

Guardian of the college bank book, DIXIE BOYD, business manager, is known to most stu- dents only by his signature on college checks. To the ones who know him personally, however, he's a trusty confidant and friend, who asstunes a ter- rifying bark that is not backed up with bite. A newcomer to the staff of administrative officers this year is DR. IMOGENE BENTLEY, who replaced Miss Edith L. Clark as dean of Women. Though still comparatively new, Dr. Bentley has already made her place in the scheme of college life and has been active in unifying the student body through war projects and all-college social functions. A former football star and all-round college man himself, T. J. FOUTS has proved to be well qualified for the job of dean of men. The fact that there are fewer men on the campus than usual, has only been an inspiration to Fouts to develop a more personal contact with each of the men students.
