From the time we are small children, we find those whom vve look to as examples. These hero figures capture our respect, love, admiration, and devotion. We carry these feelings even to adulthood for those strong personalities who effect our lives. One such figure in the lives of many Harding students is Mr. Ed White. Mr. White, in addition to serving the HOL' NYS ,,,,, , students as English professor, is an active sponsor of Kings Men Social Club. An avid sports fan, he plays intramurals and serves on the athletic committee. ln the community, Mr. White is on the board of the Searcy Optimist Club. He has donated eight gallons of blood to the Red Cross. He and his wife Evelyn have three children. lt is the privilege of the Senior Class to dedicate the 7976 Petit Jean to Mr. Ed White.

4 Q While eventful beginnings directly effected Harding Stu- dents, world happenings were of major concern for many. Campus interest reached high proportions as Patty Hearst was finally captured but as sub- sequent months revealed, her saga had only begun. Two assasination attempts on President Ford shocked the nation and started a controversy on presidential security. More controversy raged over Mrs. Ford's frank views on marriage and abortion. South Vietnamese troops were evacuated and many refugees were brought to the U. S., including Fort Chaffee at Fort Smith, Arkansas. Bussing in Louisville prompted demonstrations and teacher strikes were rampant all over the country. inflation continued with the price of postage going up three cents on first class mail. Yet America began cele- brating its existence in that world with its 200 year anniver- sary. Harding was assured of its place in the celebration when it was named a Bicentennial campus. ln the sports world, IV. sets were crowded around as students watched Cincinnati win the World Series in seven games and the Pittsburgh Steelers take its second straight Super Bowl victory. 2 2 Q' 5 YTWQ Q Q, '12, .sr ', U.19f6 Mx if Q INTRODUCTION l 15
