The Personnel Office Behind the rows oi ' steel cabinets ranged about the rooms occupied by our Personnel Office lies a story of service antl efficiency. Any information sought by anyone, student or instructor, be it club material, percentile ratings, or what-have-you, can be found here with a minimum of trouble by Dr. Earl F. Sykes himself or by his amiable assistant. Miss : Miklred Scott. Service with a smile is their motto, and the mood seems to be contagious. It is impossible for anyone to feel discouraged or dejected when he is on the receiving end of the famous Sykes wink. We vouns folks are tjrateful for his guidance. DR. EARL F. SYKES The Business Office Alathematical wizards seeking challenges for then- abilities might well apply to the business office tor some suggestions. Keeping books and records alone would be a gigantic task, but the work does not stop here. Add to it the responsibility of selling hundreds of trolley tickets a week and the concern of dispens- ing bills during the semester, and you have a thumb- nail sketch of the colossal job handled so capably by Mr. Ermon M. Postles and his staff. We are all especially fond of the office atmosphere, which is alwaA ' s genial, despite the importance of the staff ' s duties. MR. ERMON M. POSTLES 21

Office of tlie Dean of Women Mam ' footsteps have been felt bv the rug in the office of Mrs. Irene King, our clean ot women, for her office is probablv the most occupied one in the school. Daily it is crowtied with girls asking for ration books, seeking (some times in vain) a paper clip or a post card, peering anxiously into the Blue Book for the approving IMK, or depositing a nickel for the ever-popular master key. Mrs. King, Miss Broadhead, Mrs. Bert, and our highly efficient Miss Eileen McCormick are always on call and respond graciously to any of the crises, large or small, that make up life in the dormitory.

The Infirmarv Orchitis to our nurses! Known primarlN- as dispensers ot pink cards, their abihties extend to other reahiis frequented by over-ambitious Health Education students who bear the badge of battle, the traditional ankle strap. Miss Eves and Mrs. Allewelt hear innumerable tales of vt)e, but there is no ailment that is not made just a little bit better by their cheerful personalities and willing hands. Our Maintenance Department MR We wish that we knew their names, but it doesn ' t really matter; they will always be to us the little men who help keep the school running smoothly. You can never tell when you ' ll rim into one sweepmg the halls ot the dormitory, emptying rubbish, repairing light switches, or preparing the classrooms in the Education Building for another day ot acti ' ity. Under the direction of Mr. Ereel and iMrs. Patterson, the • liinction so silenll ' that we hardly realize their presence. A word, too, lor the pleasant tellows who dole out our tood to us in the cafeteria lines and who dump our dishes out in the kitchen. No matter how grey the morning, there I ALPIl FRI ' KL is always a smile and a cheeiiul word, not to mention concern for those of us who are jiarticular about our choices. ilie.N-, too, are anonymous, but we all like them and look forward to our little chats about the weather ami hie in general as we pass through the lines. Recounition should also be given their boss, t)ur college dietitian, Miss Marv Wilson, lor her efliciency and i)atience. 22
