BALLY Dean of Instruction During this school year of 1958-59 Northeast­ ern has been cast in a double role—your institu­ tion of higher learning and your "home away from home." The student cooperation has been excellent in making for the success of both roles The faculty has striven to give good instruction and to make you feel at home. It is our hope and our prayer that you will cherish the mem­ ories of this year among your best. DR. WESLEY A. DENEKE Dean of Personnel As the Dean of Student Personnel, Dr. Deneke is sincerely interested in helping students to solve their problems so that their college career might achieve the greatest results. He is anxious to assist prospective students in se­ curing the proper housing. His office compiles a lot of personal data of each student relative to the student's background, former school experience, results of standardized tests, and any other information which might assist the faculty to better understand students. He is always interested in counseling with students about their extra-curricular activity program, about the work of the Student Senate in attaining its object­ ives, and helping students with whatever problems that might arise. His office is always open to students for counseling. MISS MILDRED RANDELS Dean of Women i HELEN AINGWORTH RUTH ALLISON Assistant Professor Assistant Professor Biology Art RUTH ARRINGTON L H.
