Murdaugh hall is the center of the social life of Central State college. Here girls live and work and study. Faculty and friends come for social affairs and in the dining room boys and girls observe their regular dance hour accompanied by the juke box. Luxurious and spacious. iNilll'Lll1!.l5.'i1 is estahlislilna' tradition, always setting an Ll J example of gracious living. The home of the men at Central is Thatcher hall, where they receive friends and guests, play cards, read. have parties and 'ljust talk . This year the Tri- umvirate Dance of Hearts was held in Thatcher hall. The Central State college Infirmary is located at S19 East Edwards, across the street in back of Mur- daugh hall. lt is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., ,. ,-. .4,.

Dormitory calls are made by the doctor and nurse when necessary. Agriculture is now the source of the largest annual money income received from any one business in Ok- lahoma. It is therefore entirely appropriate that 'teachers should be qualified and prepared to teach agriculture in those schools that wish to include that subject in their general curriculum. It is the purpose of the department of agriculture at Central State college to give the best preparation that is possible in order Lo meet the growing demands of agricultural industry. . 5665 Dean of XVomen and Myrtle Shelby, Thatch-

The administrative secretaries are the people behind the scenes who do a tremendous amount of Work with very little recognition. In the registry office are kept the complete academic records of every student who has ever enrolled. This office also handles the enrollment, change of schedule, degree and certificate applications. In the vault of this office are filed the records of more than 75,000 former students and graduates who have attended Central State college at some time since its founding in 1891. Among the things that the veterans office handles are G. E. D. tests for veterans who have not completed highschool, veteran housing problems, and all of the Work in connection with the eligibility and entitle- ment of veterans and all records of veterans' accounts with the book store and the Veterans Administration. The office of the dean of men handles personal re- cords and grades, discipline problems, student housing and student employment. A great deal of time is re-- quired to keep these records complete as they must be Hardin, Frances Hostetter, Betty Bengston, Finance Office in order to do efficient and constructive counseling and guidance. Secretary to the president of Central is no small job. It is a position where the duties are many and varied. Because of her position, this person has a great public relations responsibility, for often she is the only con- tact many people may have with Central State college. These secretaries in the finance office are responsible for all of the money that comes into the college and also all that goes out. This office must account for every cent that is spent by Central State college. From this office, too, comes all requisitions and claims. Every- thing needed for any part of the institution comes through this office. And, of course, this is where fees, room and board, and incidentals are paid. These people have many other duties in addition to handling the state's money. They distribute mail to the faculty and students, handle the mailing for the entire college, and operate a lost and found department. They also make change for anything from postage stamps to cokes, cash checlts and just plain make change. Edna Jones, Alumni Secretary ,-. ., F, . .a - me F ... P., .

Q J The demonstration school of Central State college plays an important part in the institution's program. One of the main functions of the school is to fit the student for teaching in the public schools of this state. Another function of equal importance is to teach the pupil enrolled to become mentally, physi- cally, and socially competent for meeting life's prob- lems at whatever age level he finds himself. The demonstration school in its organization and methods conforms to the best present-day practices in the public schools. Every effort is made to maintain high standards of scholarship. The highschool is fullv accredited in the North Central Association. The administrative staff consists of two members, the director and the principal. The director is the co- ordinator between the college and the demonstration school. He advises with the student teacher and di- rects his training not only in observation of good teaching but also in the actual teaching experience under the competent supervisors of the school. He confers with the administration of the college on any problems concerning the school. He supervises the classroom instruction, determines the policies to be pursued, and with the aid of the principal makes routine rules of administration. The principal or the administrative head of the demonstration school must meet the requirements of the North Central Association of schools, that is, has had at least two years of teaching experience and possesses as a minimum a master,s degree from an in- stitution of higher education qualified to offer grad- uate work. His preparation in school administration and supervision includes an appropriate distribution of graduate Work covering those phases of the school ' .-fa E649 Wiiilie Milam XVinifrccl Stayton Valera Dome Maxine Nale
