  • THE CULLOWHEE YODEL RUTH OLIVER, BURSAR Miss Oliver came to Cullowhee in the latter part of May, 1924, and accepted a temporary position as Assistant Secretary to the President. Her diligence in work and her fine training soon proved that she was a young woman of unusual business qualities, and within three months, her duties were enlarged to that of Secretary and Bookkeeper. Her responsibilities continued to increase, and in August, 1926, she was relieved of Secretarial duties and appointed by Governor McLean, upon the recommendation of President Hunter, as Budget Officer of the School under the new State Budget System. Upon the death of Mr. W. N. Coward, Bursar, in January, 1928, Miss Oliver served as Acting Bursar until the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees in May, when she was officially appointed Bursar of the School. This position involves the handling of the entire financial resources of the School and requires the making of a $10,000 bond. Miss Oliver was born November 13, 1905, in Sylva, North Carolina, and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Oliver. After completing her elementary school training in Bryson City and Sylva graded schools, she entered the Sylva High School, where she graduated in 1923. Following her graduation she entered North Carolina College for Women and completed the Commercial Course offered at that institution in the spring of 1924. Since coming to Cullowhee, Miss Oliver has won for herself the confidence and good-will of all her associates. She is retiring in her manner, but is always courteous to her friends both in business and social relationships. Her efficiency in her work and her neatness in keeping her records have brought repeated commendations from the State Auditors and members of the Budgeting Commission. It is quite safe to assert that no other young woman in North Carolina of Miss Oliver's age is being entrusted with such heavy responsibilities in keeping the records and handling the State's finanses. Mr. S. B. Hutchinson and Mr. Nor- val Rofrers, former students of Cullowhee, were welcomed visitors on the campus Tuesday, the 8th.

We are glad to see our exchange list grow not only in quanity but also in quality. Among the new exchanges are: The Eastern Progress—the publication of Eastern College, Richmond, Ky., is a well balanced paper. It has just enough of the college events, college sentiment and fun. We like especially the editorials. The Chalk Line—published by E. T. S. T. C, Johnson City, Tenn., is very interesting. When we read the first page we just have to read the rest of it because the next article always looks so inviting. The Campus Chronicle -a weekly publication of the students of California State Teachers College, California, Penna. The Yodel is glad to welcome this Northern friend. Through its pages, perhaps, the Cullowhee students may come to know of the problems which confronts teachers in other sections of our country. The Blue Flame—The Seniors of Pickens High School, Pickens, S. C, deserve the highest of praise for this publication. In their Foreword, we find this statement, "We are presenting to you the characteristics of our high school life." In the body of their magazine we find ample proof of the statement, and a very interesting life it must be! Campus View from Neighboring Hill
