HAZEL B. DAVIS CMrs. Gordonj Superintendent of Women, and Matron A pleasing personality, a gracious smile, a kind and loving nature, and a helpful, willing spirit, all help to make Mrs. Gor- don Davis the lovely person that she is. She deserves much more praise than we, the students, can give to her. Christ is seen daily in her life as she goes about her work, and as she performs the many duties that are hers to do. As Dean of Women, she has much that holds her attention. Only a life fully yielded to her Saviour would be one that could do the many things that Mrs. Davis does. She helps solve the perplexing problems of stu- dents, selects roommates, and strives to make the life of the girls in the dormitor- ies a happy one. Many of us have won- dered how Mrs. Davis can select girls so well suited to each other as roommates. We believe that her help comes from the Saviour whom she loves and serves. The preparing of menus for each meal and doing the shopping for our household are more of the duties that rest heavily upon her. It is not an easy task, in these days to feed so many people, but Mrs. Davis does a splendid job of keeping us well-fed. Many students who have difficult prob- lems to solve, find much help in the coun- sel of Mrs. Davis. Her eagerness to listen shows that others' burdens are her bur- dens too. Strangers who come into our midst are always made to feel very much at home, and shy folks made to forget their shy- ness by the welcome and gracious spirit shown by her. As we leave these halls and go into the work that the Lord has for us, we shall always remember and praise God for this one who has had so vital a part in making our lives fit vessels for the Master's use. -Grace Rearick. We love Him because He first loved us. -I John 4:19. Page Seventeen

REV. GORDON C. DAVIS wz Q-Dissident We, the Class of 1947, can -ever thank God for Dr. Gordon C. Davis. As we look back over the years, we realize that the blessing he has been to us began with our first correspondence with him before we entered P.B.T.S. Our Heavenly Father must be pleased as He sees the faithful leadership of this one to whom He has entrusted so many for blessed instruction in the things of God. In the classroom Dr. Davis has given us forceful teaching mixed with kindly advice, borne of experience and study. We have learned from many chapel serv- ices his high regard and utter dependence on prayer as the foremost line of action and service for our Lord. The president of P.B.T.S. is God's man in God's place of labor, bearing burdens and gaining vic- tories as the day brings them forth. Outside of class and chapel Dr. Davis has been patient, understanding, inspira- tional, and spiritually a blessing to us as individuals. In these days of uncertainty and tur- moil in the whole world, spiritual as well as material, it has been a benediction to hear him say, God is still on His throne. We feel that it has been a great privilege to know this great man of God and to be under his ministry for these past three years. We wish God's continued and abundant blessing upon him and his work. -By Arthur Meadows. With God all things are possible. --Matt. 19:26. Page Sixteen
