DIRECTORS W 1 HESE ARE the directors of our jilav, the inclivicluals who sit behind the foothghts to guide and direct the actions on the pedagogical stage. To them is left the design ot the various scenes ot the plot, from the more serious endeavour of the classroom to the morning scramble for bacon and eggs. At the top of the list are the State Department ot Public In- struction as represented by Dr. Ade, the Board of Trustees, and President Swope. To them we are indebted tor much ot our m- dividual happiness at college; particularly at present are we following the results of their endeavours as evidenced by the clamour arising from the hole in the western campus which presently will be a fine new recitation hall. Next in order of direct influence upon the actors are the four deans and the faculty, the latter group obligingly taking the part of promptors in the learning of the script. Besides this list of officers, there is another parallel group which serves the actors in various departments. Among these groups are included the Maintenance Department, through which necessities of the college are bought; the Health Service, which takes care of the health of the students; the Business Administration, which genially sees that everyone pays his bills; the Dietitian and her work- ers, who supply what an army and also a student body live on; and the Personnel Department, which cares for those who work either because of desire or necessity. Last among the minor directors are the Student Government officers, the class officers and all the other student officials and their assistants. The efforts of all these directors are centered on the actors, the core of the whole svstem. Eigfiteen

c TRUSTEES L HE MOVING force behind a living enterprise is very seldom seen, although its tlynamic power is sensed by the most casual observer. This force, which is the driving energy behind the machinery of administration, is responsible tor the degree of excellence with which the enterprise is conducted. A visitor to the Capitol of our nation at Washington is first struck by the beauty and state- Hness of the building. However, there is something in the air, an electric, dynamic something. that is sensed by all who stop to gaze and meditate. This force, this unseen something, is the personification of the j 0f B will of one hundred million people, a will which makes itself t m m knt)wn and which works for the good of these people. So it is with West Chester. Behind all these buildings, these acres, the faculty, the administrative machinery is a force which is working for the best interests of the College. The force, in this case, is the Board of Trustees, the guiding influence behind the scenes, the influence that is making for a better West Chester. Mr. Merrill B. Cann, President John A.
