GEORGE ROSS ELLIS B.S., M.B.A.-Business Manager MISS HELEN L. SITTIG R N., B.S., A.M.-Dean of Women I 6 BUSINESS OFFICE The business office, under the direction of Mr. Ross Ellis, con- ducts the financial business of Westminster College. Besides pur- chasing supplies and equipment and taking care of the incoming cash and the expenditures, Mr. Ellis willingly sees all students who desire part time iobs and talks over the possibilities of a job with them. In taking care of this part of the administration, Mr. Ellis has proved to be human, shrewd, and efficient. The first person whom would-be-students meet when they visit Westminster is the kindly, merry little man in Room 201. Mr. William Johns, Director of Public Relations, is responsible for capturing and maintaining the public's interest in and support of the college. Thousands of letters go out each year informing high school seniors of the courses, activities, and fellowship offered by Westminster College. No student successfully graduates from college without some significant contact with the registrar's office. The student at West- minster is no exception. He receives white cards from the office. He learns his grades through notices sent out by the registration office. Perhaps he has to check with the registrar to see if he is fulfilling the requirements for graduation. And no student grad- uates without remembering those registration days he experienced during his college career. The organizer behind all this vast amount of registration work at Westminster is Miss Isabel Ramsey. Miss Ramsey quietly and pleasantly irons out the problems con- nected with this part of the administration. She cheerfully and willingly meets students and helps them with their curricular prob- lems. Miss Ramsey is capably assisted by Miss Sarah Dandy. W. J.

DR. WILL W. ORR After weeks and months of anticipation, a holiday on April 27 proclaimed for Westminster College and New Wilmington that a new presi- dent had arrived on campus. The holiday MRS. ORR THE PRESIDENT began on Tuesday evening in the gym where a pep rally was held followed by dancing. Dr. Will Orr was escorted into town by a special car and motorcycle escort. At L45 p.m. the town and college officially welcomed the president as the band began to play and the floats began to roll. Forty-niners, turtles, horses, circus performers, beauty queens, slaves, and oarsmen all participated in the parade. Fol- lowing the parade the crowd gathered on the South terrace where an informal welcome was extended to the new president and his family by the faculty, students, and alumni. The new president comes to Westminster from Westminster Church in Des Moines, Iowa. He has several interesting avocations, including photography, cabinet-making, and collecting stamps. One of his most unusual hobbies is an elaborate collection of miniature electric trains. He has also spent much time originating youth clubs and lecturing on his plan for combatting iuvenile delinquency. Dr. Orr's past record has shown that he is a sincere and capable man. Westminster looks forward to many years under his leadership. WILSON DAVID ARLISS I5
