University of Pennsylvania, M.S. Chemistry The natural science courses are studied avidly by many Penn State Freshmen, pre- medlcal students and science majors. The two basic courses are chemistry, which treats of the composition and transformation of matter, and physics, which treats of the physical phenomena associated with matter. These subjects are taught by lecture- demonstrations of the basic laws, theories and computations. Further association of these laws is made possible by experimentation In the laboratory. In this way, each student is able to verify all classroom discussion by his own work In the laboratory. 23

BUSINESS MANAGER Glenn M. Abel Mr. Glen M. Abel, the popular business manager of York Junior College, conducts all matters pertaining to finances in his new, well-equipped office. It is Glen who attends to all veterans ' af- fairs, including the vets ' certificates, fees and records. He also acts as mediator when difficulties arise with the Veterans ' Admin- istration. For the non-veterans, it is Glen who handles tuition, fees, text-books and other equipment. If an organization wishes to use the lounge for a meeting, it is Glen who must be contacted for permission. It is Glen who super- vises the rental of the gymnasium, and who is vitally interested in the school ' s athletic program. And if the students run-out of nickels, and the change machine is empty, who else but Glen would con- vert their dimes and quarters? i-lowever, this year Mr. Abel has found time to assume a new role, that of co-director of You Can ' t Take It With You. Because of his interest in the students and his desire to make York Junior College a reputable school, he is recognized as the real friend and counsellor of the students, and as an invaluable aid to the faculty and other administrators.
