PERSONNEL OFFICE There will be no chapel today; pro- ceed to your ten-thirty classes. This is just one oF the many announcements that are broadcast in Anderson hHoll. Through the Personnel Office we hear these an- nouncements and obtain information on class ratings, club credits, alumni news, and student employment on campus. Dr. Earl F. Sykes was our personnel director for many years, but because of a reorganization in the administrative offices, Mr. Emil - . Messikomer was appointed his successor. Our new personnel direc- tor has numerous responsibilities. Al- ready his pleasant manner has done much to facilitate his tasks, which bring him into such frequent contacts with the student body. MR. EMIL MESSIKOMER • • • THE BUSINESS OFFICE Behind the seemingly endless clicking of typewriters is the efficient and hard work- ing staff of the Business Office headed by Mr. Everett E. Shaefer. Keeping books and records covering all the financial matters of the college is a gigantic task, but the hard work does not stop here. Add to it the responsibility of selling hundreds of trolley tickets a week and the task of collecting and paying the bills during the semester, and you have a thumb- nail sketch of the colossal job handled so capably by the staff of the Business Office. MR. EVERETT E. SHAEFER 27

OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF WOMEN Probably the most popular office in our school, the Dean of Women ' s Office ,has been the scene of many groans and much rejoicing. Always crowded with girls who are signing out, looking for that famed I.M.K. in the blue-book, or depositing a nickel for that life-saver master key, Mrs. King ' s office has been a refuge for all of us at one time or another. We extend a hearty vote of appreciation and thanks to Mrs. Clyde L. King, our gracious and sincere dean of women, to Miiss Leone E. Broadhead, our conscien- tious and efficient assistant dean of women, to Mrs. Elsie Bert, our understanding house- mother and loyal friend, and to Miss Eileen McCormick, fondly known as Mc- Corm, who has shared our many head- aches with us. They have, indeed, helped mcke life in Old Main enjoyable and worthwhile. MRS. CLYDE L. KING • • • OFFICE OF DEAN OF MEN Few offices on campus have played so important a role in the lives of our men students as has the Office of the Dean of Men. This office, under the supervision of Mr. W. Glenn Killinger and his assis- tant, Mr. William Banner, attempts to orientate our new students to college life. Throughout the semesters Dean Killinger is on hand to advise men students both in personal and scholastic problems and to help coordinate the college life of our men and women students. With the return of many veterans, the housing of our male population was a major issue. The placement of these men was made possible through the coopera- tive efforts of Dean Killinger and various West Chester residents. The supervision of West Chester ' s Veterans Emergency hlousing Units will also be placed under Dean Killinger ' s jurisdiction. MR. W. GLENN KILLINGER 26

DIRECTOR OF STUDENT TEACHING AND PLACEMENT The Placement Bureau has already es- tablished a reputation for service to the college and to the community. It has aided many of our graduates in securing positions. Dr. Earl F. Sykes has been appointed Director of Student Teaching and Place- ment. To him has fallen the difficult task of assisting superintendents, principals, and school directors in selecting qualified candidates for positions. At the same time he directs student teachers on campus. The numerous services that the Bureau offers require no charge either to the candidate or to the employer. Our gratitude is unbounded for the aid the Bureau and Dr. Sykes have already given us in solving our problem, that of obtaining a position. DR. EARL F. SYKES • • REGISTRAR AND DIRECTOR OF ADMISSION Along with the many new features of expansion. West Chester has a new official, the Registrar and Director of Ad- missions, Dr. B. Paul Ross, who comes to us from Alderson-Broaddus College in Vir- ginia. Dr. Ross handles the admission and regis- tration of all new students, a task requiring tact and foresight. Part of the responsi- bility of this new department is that of recruiting. Judging from the efficient and pleasant attitude Dr. Ross has shown in the short time he has been with us, we feel that this department will gain a repu- tation of being one of the most valuable additions to the administration. DR. B. PAUL ROSS 28
