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!

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

THE OFFICE STAFF Miss June Lindeman came here in 1938 as office secretary. She and Miss Van Derra have enjoyed many picnics and one unforgettable trip together. She likes photography and naturally, movies, which are an example of the best photography. Her favorite pastime is reading. The financial secretary-treasurer of the college board of administration, Miss Carolyn Rolfson, has a job to keep her really busy. However, in her spare time she has many interesting hobbies. She collects old glass and china, too but limits her choice to old blue glass. She likes to travel and has seen both the East and West. In 1935 Miss Rolfson and Miss Swallow went to Alaska together. It was a thrilling trip where Miss Rolfson undoubtedly had time to be active in her favorite sport, skiing. Miss Mary Jane Van Derra, Secretary to the Advanced Standing Committee. She was a freshman here in 1936 with the graduating class of 1940. Miss Van Derra is fond of classical music and blows her own horn, a cornet. She makes all the trips with the college bus and otherwise to hear the personalities in the worlds of music and dramatics. She enjoys reading—has started a library of her own. She likes the out-of-doors—rides horseback, tapdances. Exploring Our State, a radio series, was a very interesting account of various localities in Wisconsin, written and broadcast during 1938-1939 by Miss Marie Swallow, Secretary to the Placement Committee. Wisconsin is Miss Swallow’s hobby. Her broadcasts were designed especially to acquaint the radio audience with our state, its natural resources and beauties, its people, human interest stories, and history. She is very much interested in present day affairs, economical, political, conservational, and personal, and is unusually well prepared to talk or write on any of them. She has traveled throughout the continent. Miss Swallow is a poetess of considerable talent, too. In Exploring Our State she included many of her own poems which accurately distinguish her as one who really knows and loves her state. ...THE WINNAHS! O'DOHERTY, VANDYKE, SPLITEK AND OLSON . . .
