ACADEMIC DEAN Academic Dean gave ' boost ' to students Dr. Talmadge advises Jimmy concerning the choice of a senior college. The warm mannerthat could calm the most nervous student who sought the guidance of this thought- ful and understanding man is only one of the many qualities of Dr. Paul A. Talmadge, academic dean. His friendly smile and encouraging wel- come to each student helped to make for more congenial student- administration relations. Being able to communicate with eloquent delivery and clearness of thought helped to make a talk with Dr. Talmadge a rewarding experi- ence. Whether you were a part of a large audience which he was ad- dressing or in private consolation Dr. Talmadge ' s personality left a lasting impression on the listener. The hair may be a little longer than it was a few years ago and gold rim glasses may now encircle his face but in this age of changing times Dr. Talmadge stands firmly on his sound convictions and faith in God. Mrs. Ann Hayes takes notes for letter to be sent to students. Dr. Paul Talmadge, Academic Dean of Anderson College. 29

DEAN OF STUDENT AFFASRS Administrator was devoted Mr. J. K. Lawton, a conscientious man who gave freely of his time and energy, retired this year as Dean of Student Affairs. Mr. Lawton is a dedicated indi- vidual who accepted the challenge of his demanding position and was always willing to offer a helping hand to those expressing a need. Much of his time was devoted to counseling or communicating with students. His understanding of human nature, his experience, and his maturity were assets to him. In- volvement was a word Mr. Lawton knew well. Mr. Lawton ' s plans will include moving to Gaffney, filling interim and supply pastorates, traveling, writing, farming and having some fun on the side. Mr. Charles Wooten, an AC alum- nus, began his duties as Mr. Law- ton ' s assistant on January 3 when his in-service training began. A personable and level-headed young man, Mr. Wooten is able to speak the language of the student and at the same time handle his po- sition as an administrator quite well. ■s Mr. J. K. Lawton, Dean of Student Affairs, retired this year. Mr. Charles Wooten, assistant Dean of Student Affairs. 28 Mrs. James Thorne, secretary, is an asset to the deans.
