 CLARISSE H. MALL Cares of college files anil records rest upon Mrs. Hall, yet beneath her burden she not only ex- acts efficiency in the high- est degree, but also retains an ever-increasing ability to win friends and to maintain a disposition un- ruffled, frictionless. (Registrar PON the accuracy and com- pleteness of the records is built a super-structure of transferred credits, references for business purposes, and settlement of disputed credit rights. Through her ability to keep the multitudin- ous figures at pencil point, and her accuracy in all details, the calls made upon the school’s files arc answered quickly and correctly by Mrs. Hall. The file, containing the registry cards of the entire student body, stands formidably in the office defying anyone to solve its intrica- cies. Mrs. Hall meets its challenge and keeps it constantly correct and ready. Alumni records and all stu- dent body transactions are kept with the same scrupulousness. UR highest steps rest beneath a tall Gothic arch. It is a gateway to higher knowl- edge, a gateway to the land of books wherein past and present may be read and understood, broadening the views and ideas cf students and their relation to life and its complex problems. It is an inspiration to lovers of symmetry, a work of architectural art. Page 2}

GUY H. HURST Trained by experience as an accountant, Dr. Hurst is prepared to give to his students the attitude of present-day men of affairs hi this field. Like his clothing, his temper is never ruffled. He is a teacher who commands respect, yet commands it in such a way as to ob- tain friendship at the same time. ONG ago, when these stairs were new, their charm was in their splendid beauty of form. Now, after years of increas- ing wear, they still hold as their chief attraction that same beauty with an added touch of tradition that clings to them, acquired through years of service and toil as a winding way into upward retreats for quiet study. (BusinessCAdministratioJi HE realm of finance and economics the Judges of Precision and Accuracy dic- tate with unyielding justice. Figures must be found that will chart the course of the ship of finance over the turbulent seas of Business. The work of the student special- izing in this field has been done with the desire to gain accurate training in business problems. Courses in ac- counting have been given through- out the year, efficiency in quick tabulation being gained by contin- ued practice. In the autumn quar- ter a study of commercial problems opened the door into new vocations. Winter found the group engrossed in details of effective marketing, and the spring in questions of public finance. Page 22

 1 a F. C. VAN BUREN Through his own deep appreciation for a clean w adolescent life, through yjr his long observant ex- $ perience with the main- it. tenance of health, Mr. Van '% Burets has been in a pos- ition to give superior it direction for the building A? of better physiques. it cPhysical Education HE department of physical education has conscientious- —ly and persistently labored to build into the students’ minds an ideal of wholesome living and a plan for nttainine- greatest bodv ef- fiency. Gymnasium floorwork is given during the entire year. Muscle- building and body-training exercis- es mould the students into form; games of basketball and soccer add to the zest of competition. Inter- class activities develop a desire for athletic perfection while class lec- tures promote an understanding of health aims and education. As spring approaches, novelties are introduced. Each year during early May the entire department presents a gym circus, featuring stunts with cleverly-constructed animal mimics and attractively costumed dancing choruses. At times, musical comedies set in real- istic backgrounds are given as in- novations. Interest is kept at a max- imum throughout the year, climax- ed by the circus or special work during the final weeks. ULL of beauty, in simplicity and strength, the arch is an opening into realms in which great masters of science, literature, and religion hold prominence in each of their definite fields of achieve- ment. On the staircase leading to it are marks made by youth, an un- ceasing surge of young men and women that have attended during years of academy and junior college history. Every thumb-print has be- hind it some quaint experience, every scratch upon the metal cap- ping, a story of hurrying feet. If wood and metal could talk, what tales the old steps might tell! Page 24
