' 16 TOP: Tired, Dr. Kuehner? CENTER, left: Dr. Dav- idson has a conference with one of her majors. CENTER, right: Mr. Rey- nolds is busily engaged in photo copy work both for his and for Civ. classes. BOTTOM: Youd better hurry, Miss Floyd, or your team wont win! We can’t overlook their service on Joint Council and other committees to give us those special privileges, a good library, interesting chapel programs, a literary festival and other special conferences. Nevertheless, we still can’t claim them as our” faculty completely, for they find time to take part in the ac- tivities of the surrounding communities. What do we give in return for all of these contributions which make our college life a rich experience? Sometimes a lot of headaches, work that is not our best but will “get by,” an indifference that shuts the doors of our minds. Yet still our teachers have conferences with us to help us with our special difficulties. They excuse our cuts when we have “more im- portant things to do,” and give us make-up tests. They try to consider our plans in scheduling tests, and cover the same ma- terial again and again. And—miracle of it all—if we grasp one principle, if we master one difficult lesson, if we give one sign of interest or ask one thoughtful question—they ask no other reward and take pleasure in our achievement. These, then, are our teachers who present education as a wonderful adventure and life as a great challenge. And how does the staff do it: manage Coker with us here? We like so well to exercise our glorious privilege of complain- ing, often only because it is our privilege. We criticize and rebel, yet somehow they maintain an air of patience and effi- ciency. They register us for everything from dormitory rooms to blood donations. They take care of such matters as burned out light bulbs and repair such things as heating systems. They advise and counsel, convincing us of the folly of some things and the wisdom of others. They are concerned about a well- planned diet, and a well-ordered laundry. Records must be kept, and so they file them diligently day by day, but inevitably choose to remember the best and forget the worst. In the infirmary, kind and patient hands care for our physical ills. These people are a vital part of our college community— mothers, fathers, doctors, guardians, and friends. Behind the criticism, the complaining and rebelling, we are more than proud of our staff, and more than indebted to them for their services to us.
