William Johns. Director of Pub- lic Relations, fills the large order of making nostalgic freshmen learn to think of Westminster as a second home as well as represent- ing Westminster to future college students. In this, his cheerful dis- position is not a small ingredient of his success. Miss Helen Giffin Hauck, li- brarian, and Miss Margaretta Barr, assistant librarian, find that keep- ing records of out-going books is only a small portion of their job. Besides the complex job of keeping the books and file in order, they arc often obliged to walk quietly from table to table, shushing those who are not studying, or studying aloud, as the case may be. The introduction this year of a course for psychology majors marked an advancement in the Department of Psychology and Education. The department is headed by Dr. William L. Reuter, B.S., M.Ed. Assisting Dr. Reuter in training prospective teachers are Miss Margaret P. Graff, A.B., M.A., who is also the House Di- rector of Browne Hall, and Dr. Carroll Leeds, A.B.. M.A., Ph.D. As well as training future teachers in psychology and methods of teaching, the Psychology Depart- ment gives vocational aptitude and intelligence tests to help the stu- dents of the college discover their abilities.

Our Leaders 04t the n.o AJt ta lecAt u , , , QaUiieaiU Dr. Robert Ferguson Galbreath, president of Westminster College, is recognized by all students as possessing that dignity which por- trays Westminster. One has only to step into his office to get that lift in morale which comes with a sincere readiness to sympathize and guide. To Dr. Galbreath, every boy and girl is an individual preparing himself for inde- pendence; and, with this in mind, whether in private consultation or in his Sunday evening services at chapel, Prexy conveys his import- ant message of inspiration. Maxwell R. Kelso, dean of the college, and professor of History, now the acting head of the History Department in Dr. Marshall ' s absence, can still find time to direct successfully the affairs of students. Weighty problems con- cerning low grades, overcuts, the business of six weeks white cards, all seem to straighten themselves up beautifully — after Dean Kelso has helped to solve them. For her ready laughter and sympathetic understanding, for her progressive leadership in helping make Westminster what it is today; for her spontaneous personality; for the experience of simply having known her, students will long remember Mary E. Turner, dean of women. Heading the list of those who keep import- ant things like registration cards in order is Miss Corinne Mercer, secretary to the president of the college. Miss Mary Isabelle Ramsey is the recorder, who has the added duty of seeing that the millions of articles left in the lost and found department are returned to their owners, Mr. Ross Ellis is the college business manager. Mrs. Louise Kepple Sewall, accountant, is the secretary of busy Mr. Ellis. Other members of the business staff are Miss Elsie Johnson, secre- tary; Miss Clara McCandless, assistant cashier; and Mr. Alfred Shaffer, superintendent of buildings and grounds. I ' aiii ' Tivilvr

Comes warm weather, Cap- py forsakes his figures and theories for a bag of clubs and his favorite golf course. Mr. Herbert C. Graebner, assistant professor of Economics, B.S., Valparaiso; M.B.A., Northwestern, di- vides his time between teaching ac- counting and playing tennis. The new- est professor in the department is a former Titan football and basketball star, Mr. Frank Bretthole, B.B. A., Westminster ' 39; M.A., Chicago. HARRY BROWNSCOMBE . . . Ali- quippa. Pa. . . .
