THE LIGHTED WINDOW OF TRINITY CHURCH (February 10, 1963) By Deana Armes Looking at the window of Trinity From the steps just outside the College Shop, We students gazed into Infinity And in an instant felt the world pain stop. The window was more beautiful than night : The lights inside poured through the colors pure To show there was within a God of might Who gave out light the passers-by to lure. Years hence in thoughts we will ourselves find there Since we are by the lighted window bound. How can this art enchant and so inspire That we who beheld it love and peace found? The power flows from God ' s eternal spring And those who merely pass can meet the King. ' copyright 1963 by THE NOCATULA 17

THE NOCATULA recognizes three individuals whose presence has made Tennessee Wesleyan College a better place Mrs. Ralph W. Mohney A more gracious first lady of Tennessee Wesleyan College never h -ed in Blakeslee Hall. Mrs. Mohney is both an ornament and a support for the activities of the College. Whether welcoming students and guests to the campus, accompanying President Mohney on his trips in behalf of the College, or making one of her frequent talks to area civic and religious organizations, Mrs. Mohney is a representative of Tennessee Wesleyan College at its charming best. Professor Charles Sallis The ideal professor is what Mr. Sallis is to most of his students, and through his huge Western Civihzation lecture sections he has come into contact with a larger proportion of the student body than any other academic professor on campus. If he works his students hard, he pushes himself twice as hard. Highly respected by his colleagues whom he represents as president of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors, he is revered by the students who have worked with him in the Wesleyan Scholars, the Roundtable, the Religious Life Council, and Pi Gamma Mu, all organizations which he assists in an ad isory capacity. Mr. Burkett Witt The only sad fact about the opening of the Sherman Fine Arts- College Center was that it marked the passing of Burkett ' s, long a campus institution. The man who gave his popular name to that hole in the wall did himself move into the new Center but as chef in the main kitchen. It was a fine promotion for Burkett, but it is unfortunate that future classes will not be able to know him as well as their predecessors have known him. For Burkett, with his pleasant manner and intelligent read - v dt, has done much to educate many students to an appreciation of racial tolerance. 19
