Employees are: J. G. Martien, Janitor;
George Chester, Janitor Museum; Henry

Some changes were made in tbe salary roll
whicu is a step nearer the recognition several
of the Faculty deserve. By this, Professor
Chase receives an increase of $100 per year;
Professor Adams, $150;' Miss Henley, $150;
Miss Lida Lennon, $100; Miss Lillie Earll,
who is to be an assistant in History, 8550 for
that work in addition to the $350 paid for
serving as stenographer for the President;
Miss WTilkinson $35 additional for services as
Assistant Librarian.
There is a little matter of courtesy that
many of our students, alumni, and some of
our Faculty forget. Let us put it this way:
Is it the proper thing to talk and laugh while
some one is doing his or her best to entertain
you? At the joint reception given the Seniors,
several singers were greatly disconcerted by
thoughtlessness — or worse—on the part of
some of tbe assembly. The same is true of
the Alumni reception. Common sense and
ordinary breeding should prompt better conduct on the part of any one in any way connected with this institution. Let each one
who reads this be resolved that he or she will
show the respect due those contributing to
the entertainment of an assembly
as a monument to Ihe memory of the Progressive Class of June,  '03.
The Class of June '03 is to be commended
for several things that marks them as progressive in the highest degree. When the class was
in its third term it was formally organized, a
constitution adopted and wors conducled in
a business-like way. This set an example
which was rapidly followed by all the other
classes. The next step was the introduction
of a class pilgrimage, which gives ample opportunity for the students to enjoy some
features of class night. It was practically an
entertainment for the students and was thoroughly enjoyed by them.
The last act of the class for which they were
commended quite highly by Doctor Van
Liew, was Ihe establishment of a loan fund.
About fifteen dollars remained from the
Esmeralda drama and this sum was placed in
the hands of the President to be used in assisting the students of any graduating class
deemed worthy of help. The loan made is to
be repaid at the convenience of the graduate,
with or without interest. The principal, with
tha accumulating interest, will   stand   always
We are indebted to Fieedom Hoffmann for
our cover design for this number. The face is
a fair sample of our Sweet Girl Graduates of
June, '03. Freedom, we are glad to he remembered by so distinguished a graduate and
wish you all success at your art work In New
York City this summer.
The fate of The Record for the next five
months lies in the hands of a staff composed
of all new workers, with but two exceptions,
Hazel Crisler and Frank Houke. But knowing
Hazel as we do, we feel perfectly sure that
The Record will be raised one point higher in
its upward course.     The staff is as follows:
Hazel Crisler, Editor in Chief.
Emily Anderson and Bertha Miles,Associate
Editors.
Josephine Dyer, Exchange.
Eva Darst, Alumni.
Josephine Bryan, Joshes.
Albert Reynolds, Social and Athletics.
Frank Rouke and George Chester, Business
Managers.
Ralph Camper. Subscription Mauager.
We wish the new staff every success and
that your work may be appreciated after it is
done.
An Apology.
Due to a rank oversight on the part of
someone, all the members of the Senior B
class were not invited to the commencement
exercises. The graduating class is very sorry
that such a careless thing should have happened in connection with the class. It is a matter
that apologies will not, can not right, but
nevertheless, the class offer their dncerest
regrets to those unintentionally slighted.
JESSAMINE  BURK.
In the absence of any means of obtaining an
expression from the Associated Students in
regard to the death of our schoolmate, Jessamine Burk, the tuditov-in-Cbief takes it upon
himself to voice the sentiment of those who
knew Miss Burk while connected with our
school. Jessamine was always kind and thoughtful as to the happiness of others. Many will
miss her kindness and sympathy when overburdened with cares. She was a bright, faithful student, laboring under a serious disadvantage, however, being forced to cease   work
