Seated — Elizabeth Griffith, Ermon Postles, Mary Kelley Standing — Harold Hunsberger, Helen Patten, Mary Mears, BUSINESS OFFICE Systematic and efficient management of fiscal matters is a necessity to any organiza- tion. Mr Ermon Postles and his competent staff serve us admirably in administering college finances. Not only must individual bills for more than fifteen hundred students be made out for their college expenses but a receipt must be presented and careful records kept when every bill is paid. In addition to this very vital pecuniary duty, many lesser ones face this department. Perhaps the most important of these — at least to the students — is the sale of trolley tickets, which can be purchased through the school at half-price. Methodical at all times, this staff renders immeasur- able service to the college. Without our business office, progress would be impossible. MR. ERMON POSTLES Twenty-seven

MR. WINFIELD W. MENHENNETT, B.S., M.A. Dean of Instruction March 28, 1940 To the Class of 1940: In a society that is characterized as telic rather than static, changes are constantly occurring. No social group con be a port of such a society without having many changes in its character and make-up. You, the Class of 1940, through your participation in the life and activities of our college, are not an exception to the rule. Many changes have come as a natural process of growth, progress, and development. Many of the changes have been subtle and difficult to measure, such as keener sense of spiritual values; changed attitudes and ideals,- new loyalties to college, social groups, and individuals. Other changes can be measured more directly. Whole areas of knowledge have been explored, and many memories have been established. New ideas, habits, and skills have been formed. Vour records permit me to say that through practice and training these have become a part of your equipment. As commencement draws near, I see the Class of 1940 in bold relief against the memory of the Freshmen of 1936. With greater maturity and new values, you have a broadened outlook on the future. Your possession of a vast fund of useful tools for life s work will further your spiritual, mental, and physical development. May you go forth with courage and optimism to undertake life ' s tasks and duties. Cordially yours, W. W. MENHENNETT Tvv ' enty-six
