Miss Adele Davidoff came here last year and is now Director of Women's Athletics. Students know her by her Hi! It is a cheery indication of her youth and amiability. The intramural program and informal dancing she promotes foster health and fellowship. Believe us, her day is a full one and tough—but does it get her down? Never! And she can outplay the best of them in bridge. She flies to her home in New York City for vacations. Her father has had her sheepskins framed and shows them off. Who can blame him? Coach Eddie Kotal has been named The Builder of Champions. That s a title to live up to,-but he has been untiring in his purpose to develop real championship teams at C.S.T.C. Though he’s a strenuous competitor, a side-line agitator and a hard loser, he’s always a good sport. He's superstitious where his teams are concerned and a gambler at heart when he takes a long shot on a play—but his experience and knowledge qualify his chances as a sure thing. There's no chance in tiddly-winks, however—Tommy beats his dad at this big sport regularly. Coach played pro football with the Green Bay Packers for four years. He's a licensed boxing referee and has a lifetime pass to all games in the National Professional Football League. Besides, he’s no mean psychologist (just ask ‘im!)—he studied psych at the University of Southern California last summer! QUICKLY RECOVERED WHEN YOU DISCOVERED HE WENT STEADY WITH FRIEND Pase 25

IPSO FACTO Mr. Steiner, Dean of Men and Chairman of the History Department, finds his greatest enjoyment in fishing—Ask to see his fishing hat sometime! He is fond of all sports, fostering his interest as a Valley Conference official and as a member of the Athletic Board. He used to be an active participant in football. In addition, he is an inveterate reader, has traveled to both coasts and up north, and really loves great music. He has directed church choirs and sung here in school for many years. As yet he hasn t become reconciled to modern music. Incidentally, he and Mr. Evans used to put on some pretty good minstrel shows. Mr. Steiner feels that the aim of the history department is progress Dr. H. M. Tolo, an advocate of ye goode life,” likes to design and remodel other peoples' homes. He’s interested in music, individual athletics, bowling, and blondes,- he’s a violent addict of golf, has traveled through the East, West, and Canada, and he dreams of taking a sabbatical year to study at the University of London with Mr. Burroughs, and of installing a handball court on the campus. He never fails to be optimistic and jolly toward everyone. He likes to take a jaunt with the football fellows or debaters and everyone enjoys his company. He gloats over his doubledoored office and pictures of all of his brothers. He and Mrs. Tolo are seen at theater first nights and dinner parties and dances. They both take an active interest in student activities and students themselves. Mr. Robert D. Morrison was chosen this year to replace Mr. Smith in the department of cultural and ancient history. He has proved to be a splendid choice. Being himself a man of vast experience, and having a wealth of information at his command, Mr. Morrison does not need to depend upon the reputation of his father, Dr. H. C. Morrison of Chicago University. He has traveled extensively. In 1931 he went to Turkey as a member of an archeological expedition from the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. He, with other members of the party, had tea with the prime minister in the old Sultan’s palace. In 1934 Mr. Morrison was supervisor of archeology in Morgan County, Alabama. He can tell you anything about snakes. He has spent many evenings intently watching Mr. Rightsell’s engine. Mr. Morrison reads much and has a keen sense of humor—two more assets to his courses that have become so popular. He often drops into the library to tease Miss Mansur or Miss Mason (and usually in time for a party!) or else he meets Mr. Jenkins in the inner office and between the two of them they plan fantastic organizations to do away with librarians and put the world aright.

HEALTH Dr. Fred Marrs and Nurse Mary Neuberger, Dean of Women, are indispensable to our school. Their services in rendering first aid and advice are greatly appreciated. Di. Marrs is a fine physician and surgeon. Their crusade against tuberculosis and syphilis is a great cause and a worthy one. Have you been down to try the new cold machine? It’s a virtual vacuum cleaner— both faculty and students are for it. Careful reports of every case are kept on file. Drop in at the library and see the bound volumes of these reports and you will know that the work of the Health Office is no small matter. In addition to her office duties, Miss Neu-berger checks rooms at the dorm weekly and finds time for movies and visits. After summer school she likes a trip— she s been West and is planning for another direction this summer. DORMITORY Mrs. Josephine Finch, house mother of Nelson Hall, is a spiritual leader as Coach is an athletic leader and the Doc and Nurse are health leaders. She has endeared herself to her girls by her generous understanding and consideration. Mrs. Finch's girls are her real hobby, and her grandchildren are her true love. She has a cottage at Waupaca where she takes them during vacations and enjoys the physical-mental cure of relaxation with Nature. She hasn’t much time for recreation, but she reads a great deal. She is a fascinating conversationalist. Her knitting and crocheting are beautiful. She goes for early morning walks very often and once in a while for a late evening one!
