At certain times of the year “Pop” BURSAR Miss Dunkle would prefer that Miss Dunkle forget us but unfortunately she has the memory of a circus elephant for bills. However, bills are not the only things she collects for even the President has delved into her collection of private jokes. For a newcomer to Wheaton’s circus, Miss Noyes has behaved like a real trouper.

Our thanks to her for straightening out our courses so that we do not graduate a Math major instead of an English major. Miss Townsend sees more girls’ faces than practically any of the administration but she still can tell us one from the other.
