16 pm? , at P' ',-,, G eye 1fwine55 Behind the scenes of any organization are many people whose work too often goes un- noticed and unheralded. In the various college offices, staffs of efficient workers devote their time to the detailed matters of the business of operating a college. Heading the business office staff is Mr. Ross Ellis, business manager who directs the financial program of the college. Miss Isabel Ramsey, registrar, has the difiictul task of keeping complete and accurate rec- ords of each student in the college. Her interest in students and the continual checking of in- dividual records to see that each student is meeting require- ments for graduation has helped more than one person in planning his curriculum and has aided the college in main- taining its standing. Mr. William A. Johns, director of admissions and public relations, directs the promotion of college interest off campus. One service of value to both the college and individual students is his help in the placement of grad- uates of every department. The development of promotional litreature, investi- gation of industrial placement, the visiting of high schools to interview prospective students, and the establishment and maintenance of good public relations between the pub- lic and the college are a few of his responsibilities.
