DEDICATIO 2 O R G E H . H O L M E S , the man behind the news but seldom in the news himself . . . ANew Yorker by birth . . . a middlewesterner by adoption . . . and more partic- ularly, a loyal supporter of Iowa State Teachers College and its stu- dent body. He's always busy, but not too busy to talk over a student's for a faculty member'sj problems. A true journalist, he sees a story or a picture in everything-even when members of his feature-writing class cannot. Next to his work, as Director of the Bureau of Publications, visual- izing and developing new ideas is his favorite hobby. Evidence of a very fertile mind is the story of his sound camera experiment in a phys- ics class at his alma mater-U. of Michigan. After many hours of experiment young George present- ed a crude construction, fundamen- tally the same as our modern sound camera, to his instructor. The in- structor foresaw no future for the instrument, however, and labeled it as impractical, thereby discourag- ing any aspirations of the would-be inventor. Born and reared in the Empire State, he temporarily abandoned his high school studies in the war years for office work in a brass foundry. With the cessation of European hostilities, young George enrolled at Buffalo Technical High, to be graduated with honors and a two-year scholarship to the University of Buffalo. His under- graduate studies were continued at the University of Michigan, from which he was graduated in l92S with Cum Laude honors in rhet- oric. After a summer as reporter in Cleveland, Ohio, he returned to Michigan for his Master's Degree and a year as assistant and director of the Journalism Laboratory, VVith Horace G reeley's advice in mind, the next stop was South Da- kota, where he occupied the posi- tion of Instructor of Journalism and Director of Publicity at the State University until 1929. In that year, at the request of President Latham, Mr. Holmes came to Iowa State Teachers College, where he has since served as Director of the Bureau of Publications. Fond parent of two sons, George 'K-luniorl' and Richard, he gets no keener enjoyment than the hours spent with them skating, swimming, movie-going or even riding in the family V-8.
