As time passes and our lives are influenced by countless individuals, some stand out from others because of their interest in our welfare and growth. The man to whom this dedication goes is one who has influenced hundreds of young people in his service at the college and Camp Wyldewood. Coach, as he is affectionately called by many former Wyldewood campers, has been highly effective in his work with high school age campers through his teaching, preaching and counseling. His history of service to Harding expands over 25 years. He joined the faculty of Harding Academy in the fall of 1952 as Bible teacher and physical education teacher and coach. During the five years he coached at the academy, he produced some outstanding football, basketball and track teams. When intercollegiate athletics were resumed at the college in 1957, after a period of 19 years of only intramurals, he was chosen as basketball and track coach. He continued as basketball coach until the fall of 1969 when he became Athletic Director. In the summer of 1958, he began teaching Bible classes and serving in other capacities at Camp Wyldewood and became director for the 1968 session. Beginning in January, 1977, he terminated 25 Years of effective work at Harding to devote full time as director at Camp Wyldewood. He has been an example of Christian living to all those he has come in contact with. He serves as a deacon at College church of Christ and preached for several years for the church at Providence, Ark. Because of his love for Christ, his love for us and his love for Harding College, the Senior class dedicates the 1977 Petit Jean to lVlr. Hugh M.
