Thompson of Hillsdale, Illinois, has accepted a position as an admissions counselor for north- ern Illinois and southern Wiscon- sin. He was formerly principal of the Hillsdale Community High school. His daughter Jo Ann is a student at Wesleyan. Wesleyan is offering evening classes to employees of the State Farm Insurance companies. These are college credit courses. The com- pany has also made it possible to take some day courses on company time. This is an excellent opportu- nity for many to continue their ed- ucation. Among the evening courses offered are speech, business law, shorthand, business psychology, and principals of accounting. Increased enrollment has made it necessary to change convocation rules. For the rest of the year, freshmen and seniors will alternate with sophomores and juniors in at- tending convocation.
