For the last several years it has been known that Dr. Haugh was much sought after for the THIRTEEN CANDIDATES presidency of various junior col¬ leges. Until now he has preferred to remain at PCC, but it was ob¬ vious that a man of, his caliber couldn’t be retained in the same position forever.

Both Barker and Scoville have received National Merit Scholar¬ ship letters of commendation and life membership in the California Scholarship Federation. Barker is a mathematics major while Well miss him Like the dentist frequently says, “Hold on tight, this is only going to hurt for a little while.” Such is the case with the many students of Pasadena City College who are used to using Dr. Robert D. Haugh, dean of student activities, as almost a father confessor. The exact number of students who have had the benefit of Dr. Haugh’s excellent advice in his seven year stay as head man in the Student Activities Office is hard to ascertain, but the total would be astounding if one could count that high. Yes, the loss of Dr. Haugh will sting like the devil for quite a while, but as they say, time heals all wounds. The void left by Dr. Haugh in the Office of Student Activities will un¬ doubtedly be filled by a well qualified person, but the void that Dr. Haugh leaves in our hearts will remain. We take this opportunity to wish Dean Haugh smooth sailing. He is one person we won’t forget. — A.G. Scoville is pointing towards a ca¬ reer in engineering.
