Mrs. Gurney is an enthusiastic and a moving spirit in faculty discussion groups and classes. This year she or- ganized a Russian class and demon- strates her linguistic powers. Mr. Judd Lewis enjoys fishing and readies his tackle for the Spring sea- son. Living in the woods the Lewises maintain a bird feeding station and welcome other wild life--even stu- dents and faculty. Our director, Joseph Smiddy, is a popular after-dinner speaker with a fabulous col- lection of jokes. An able biologist he has combined his talents to develop a slide lec- ture on butterflies. Faculty Have Many Talents Besides their specialties which they teach with skill and understand- ing, the members of the faculty have many hobbies and special interests which they use for their own entertainment and the en- richment ofthe community. The faculty are a lively group. Hik- ing mountain trails, costume parties, discussion groups, chess and gardening are only a few of their activities. The Kaimens are folkdancers extraordinaire. They have a folk dance group on Thursday night at the college and then travel far and wide to dance with other groups. Hilcers, nature lovers, and party givers are also their titles.

One lone student seems as INSIGNIFIC ANT as a pawn until he has moved himself into a position of importance. ADVANCING slowly and cautiously, the pawns realize that they cannot retreat but can be easily captured unless they are always ALERT. Pawns cannot capture in a backward direction, therefore, each must be aware of the impor- tance of going forward and maintaining the tempo of the game. The wise pawn realizes his weakness and expendability. He knows that COOPERATION , planning, and steady advancing is much more important in the game of education than isolated forays. FREEDOM to move, to learn, to seek the truth is the key to the strength of the pawn. For a mobile pawn is strong. Clinch Valley College is the chess board where the student frees himself from error, bias, lack of knowledge which pins him down. With freedom he can be PROMOTED to Queen or Bishop. Thus education provides the way of metamorphosis for the FOOT SOLDIERS OF THE GAME.
