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 . . .

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!

aintenancc Behind the scenes of an institution such as ours are the people who carry on activities that make things click and tick and mighty comfortable! They keep us clean they keep us warm—they keep us safe. When we stop to think, we appreciate it all; but we get to be pretty much matter-of-fact and take-it-for-granted about such things. Which all goes to say that we ought to stop and we ought to think and why not say Thanks” while we re at it? Mr. Stein, the wizard of the heating staff, is responsible for making the wheels go round; and a better job was never done. He has spent spare time trying to compensate for everyone’s gripes about the weather for the last twenty years. The busiest man in school is Mr. Parks who is in charge of the maintenance staff. He has a solution for every difficulty and is especially handy with locks—not picking them; fixing them. COMMITTEES HARD AT WORK . . . THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS PRESENTED . . . Page 28
