Westminster College 27 Miss Helen Martin, B.S. Dean of Women Most of us know little more about Miss Martin than that she is the official guard at the entrance of the sancta sanctorum familiarly known as the Hillside. Just two years ago, however. Miss Martin (who was then known as Helen ) was an undergraduate of Westminster, with the repu- tation of being an industrious student and a star basket ball player. After her graduation Miss Martin was offered the difficult position of Dean of Women, and has since filled it very acceptably. The co-educationally inclined will probably re- member her as a chaperon and a dispenser of limits. More or less unruly members of the Hillside Family will remember her tours of inspection with the inevitable flashlight. But in spite of her faithful performance of these unpopu- lar duties, we will always think of her as a kind and a true friend. The Hillside ROM a feminine point of view, all New Wilmington may be divided into three parts, — the Town, the Senior Lodge, and the Hillside. A few of the young ladies live in the Town, more of them at the Senior Lodge, but by far the most of them inhabit the mansion of mansions. the palace of palaces, — the Hillside. To get down to brass tacks, as the saying goes, the Hillside is a large brick building with accommodations for about ninety young women. It is bounded on the north by the Senior Lodge, on the south by the McElree House, on the east by the road to the Junction, and on the west by green fields and waving forests that roll away into the distance until they blend in a pianissimo of glorious color with the wondrous hues of an autumnal sunset. (That last sentence is copyrighted by Dr. Marsh, of Washington ' s Birthday fame.) We may as well state that when we speak of the Hillside we include the Annex. They are, for all practical purposes at least, inseparable. The Annex may be regarded as a place where they hold the overflow meetings from the Hillside, also as the place where the Hillside family procure their daily bread and butter (not to mention mashed potatoes). To be serious, the Hillside is one of the best equipped dormitories in the state, and no expense has been spared to make it comfortable and attractive. It is the most beautiful of the College buildings.

28 The 1916 Argo Perry Andrew Kuhn For statistics as to the exact number of cubic feet of snow Perry has removed from the walk, of tons of coal he has placed m the furnace, of trillions of blades of grass he has cut, of pounds of chewing gum he has taken from behind the ra- diators, please refer to the pages of former Argos. This little sketch is merely an appre- ciation of one who has served the College most faithfully and zealously for more than thirty years. Like our predecessors, our class has caused Perry infinite labor removing paint, posters, and other evidences of deeds of dark- ness, but his patience and good nature has won our lasting respect. Perry is the cordial friend of students, faculty, and alumni. We assure him of our regard and best wishes. Dr. Jacob Weber Superintendent of Builidngs and Grounds, Head of the Department of Sanitation, President of the Societ}) for the Prevention of Dust, .Official Windoiv-cleaner. When we returned to school last fall from the joys of a summer vacation, we were greeted by a quiet-mannered young man who, with eloquent words and marvelous erudition, requested us to re- frain from expectorating behind the radiators, whistling in the halls, or drawing cartoons on the newly-painted walls. Upon inquiring who the new faculty member was, we learned that he was Dr. Jacob Weber (usually called Jake ), the possessor of the titles noted above. Jake has made a reputation as a speaker in mass meet- ing, and as a candidate for the presidency. We ' ve got to hand to it Dr. Weber for keeping the buildings and grounds in spick and span condi- tion. His motto is, I must dust or bust.
