Sometimes there is no way of discern- ing, except in retrospect, what a person is like. There are those people who seem brusque, sour, forbidding, and actually are all these things. And there are those people whom, at first glance, seem just as forbidding—but who, in retrospect, turn out to be memorable characters be- cause of their intensely human nature. Such a person is liable to be a faithful worker and partisan over a period of as much as thirty-three years. It is possible that such a person would make the timid quake with fright, make all others aware of warmth and friendship as liberal as her large pocketbook. Dogs of unknown pedi- gree might find here a friendly, if some- what rough, voice. And though this person would be dismayed to learn that it could be true, she might sometimes scare even the bravest out of a year’s growth because of unorthodox handling of an automobile. A sports fan would this person be. And the amazing thing is that many people would not realize this to be true until much later—in retrospect. Such a per- son is Mildred Ross, to whom we dedicate the 1954 Pine Knot. Mildred’s method of transpor- tation has changed in the last ten years from a bicycle to a car. cv

Dr. Travis A. White the president of Atlantic Christian College Dr. White, our genial president, came to us from Lubbock, Texas. He has his vices . . . loves a good cup of coffee, a day in the coun- try with his huntin’ dog and gun, has never been known to pass up an opportunity to go fishing. He has a soft spot in his heart for a Western movie, hill-billy songs, and square-dancing. And he also has his virtues ... a nimble wit and pronounced flair for mixing humor and philosophy, a deep sense of love and appreciation for youth and a desire to share in their training, a way of just growing into our lives by mere acquaintance. There is just some- thing unique about his person- ality which makes us all admire and respect him.
