. . . BUSINESS MANAGER GLENN M. ABEL MiLLERSVILLE StATE Teachers ' College AS BUSINESS MANAGER of the York Junior College, Glenn M. Abel has estab- lished a competent and workable organization. Mr. Abel is constantly trying to simplify the student problems of supply and finance. As regards veterans, he has reduced the red tape until it is practically non-existent. Through his interest in the numerous and varied college activities he has slipped from the ranks of the cold businessmen. To mention all activities would be an impossibility, but we should like to cite an example: He travels with the basketball team as official scorekeeper. Further, his interest in athletics extends to any sport appearing in the school. His time is our time. We pause here to make special mention of the fact that he spent several hours checking with, and aiding the financial staff of this publication. As we survey our experiences of the last two years at York Junior College, we find that there are many people who have made it infinitely easier for us who are students. Mr. Abel is outstanding among these people. Page 15

DEAN . . . DR. PAUL Z. RUMMEL Juniata College A.B. University of Pittsburgh M.A. Harvard University Ed.M. Boston University Ph.D. THE DEAN is the most important link between the home environment and the new college life. He usually is the first member of the faculty with whom the students come into contact. It is through him that their first impression is formed. No one knows better than the Dean, that for students to make a suc- cess in college work, they must like college; he helps them to formulate this like. He is honest and sincere in his attempt to do so, and they appreciate these efforts, since he has their confidence. He is able to determine their atti- tudes and desires with respect to the outcome of college training. In plan- ning their schedules, he must take into account their abilities as well as their wishes and give each its appropriate evaluation in order to decide upon an attainable goal. The kind and understanding nature of Dean Rummel , im- pressed upon all students from their first meeting, makes it possible for them to come to him whenever they have difficulties, either scholastic or personal. They always find him willing to give his time in an effort to solve their prob- lems. His knowledge of human nature, influenced undoubtedly by the fact that he is a psychology professor, makes him more capable of giving advice to them, his student friends. Page 14

SECRETARIAL STAFF . . . How soon will the new literature books be in? When may I speak to the dean? Is Mr. Johnson in? These and numerous other questions are an- swered every day by our efficient secretaries. Miss Sprenkle is very patient with the many college students who are for- ever strolling in and out of Mr. Abel ' s office for books, pencils and informa- tion relative and not relative to a business office. Within the administrative hub, Mrs. Lookingbill greets all callers with a smile and lends assistance to many students. As secretary to the president, she quietly but convincingly attends to office routine and to the switchboard. Adding a dash of wit and glamour. Miss Wherley, secretary to the dean, answers all student academic requests in a business-like manner. After two fleeting years of amicable relationship, we sophomores appre- ciate your personal favors. Page 16
