This fishix' and writin’ associate professor of English hides out in his quarters in the Early American room when he isn’t teaching, advising, or telling about the big one that got away.” Mr. Peterson is a real Pitt citizen this year for he has just completed 21 years as a member of the faculty. Students appreciate Pete’s” pleasant sense ot humor and his non-indulgence in sarcasm. To this professor students are real people— not just people. The creative writing department is Mr. Peterson’s greatest contribution to the University. To aid in the development of this program, Pete” gathers the best student writings and publishes them in STUDENT WRIT NO another of his inovations. Mr. Peterson practices the same writing principles that he teaches to his students. His full length, idyllic, -VO LITE SO HAPPY, vividly portrays the delights of fishing. The air force and the Pitt band have shared most of Captain James I). Hunter’s time since he first came to Pitt as a freshman in 1938. Drum major and student director of the band, Jim Hunter still found time to complete four years of ROTC and accept a commission when he graduated in 1942. After service overseas with the Twelfth Air Force, Jim returned to Pitt in 1945 a first lieutenant and became an instructor in the military department. Now a captain, Jim Hunter is a familiar figure as the friendly adjutant of the military department and instructor in air ROTC and also as the joke-cracking drill master of the high stepping 150 piece Pitt band. When June comes bringing recess for some students and summer school for others. Jim Hunter leaves to help train the Pitt air ROTC cadets for the day when they don the shiny new gold bars. More than two decades of Pitt students have studied philosophy under tall red-haired Dr. Mont R. Gabbert. Dr. Gabbert landed on the University faculty in 1921 fresh from Graduate School of Chicago University. Since that time the big man with the quiet voice has s| ent his days calmly explaining philosophy and gently dispelling popular misconceptions and prejudices concerning his field. Philosophy, he will tell you, is the business of every thinking person. As head of the philosophy department, Dr. Gabbert is burdened with many administrative duties, but he can always find time to give individual help to his students. He also makes it his duty to help the new professor in his department become a part of Pitt. Outside school Dr. Gabbert devotes his leisure moments to music, the movies, and a family that furnishes many of his classroom illustrations. I r. GnlilH'rl Some STUDENTS may spend four years at college and meet very few people, but if there is any student at Pitt who doesn't know Dr. Ferguson, we’d like to meet him or her. John Maxwell Ferguson PhD, Jur. I)., professor of economics is the way the faculty directory lists him, but to the entire student body this colorful and beloved prof is just plain Fergie. Cigarette holder in hand, Fergie rarely misses a school event despite a heavy schedule of classes and research work for a new economics text. Fraternity and sorority houses are always open to him, and ancient is the piano that Fergie can’t coax a tune out of at the Greek affairs. Tap day, Scholars day, Spring Festival, all find the good doctor doing his bit to help students get the most of college life. A professor in learning but a student at heart is Pitt’s Doc Ferguson. 23 l)r. Ferguson
