In addition to her duties as secretary-clerk she is the College Registrar and as such becomes a sort of liaison officer between students and faculty-administration. Miss Gatlin might be called Miss Connors because from being a student she went directly into office work here at the College and has remained. She knows us from the inside-out of dormitory life to faculty row and through it all is congenial and nice to know and work with. As our next longest-in-service employee we honor her in the 1952-1953 Con-Rah! -THE HOURS May Come, The Hours May Go, But In Our Hearts There'll Always Be, The Lovely Thoughts We Hold For Thee - Ctune closedj.

The residence hall in which you lived from September, 1952 to May, 1953, was a sort of second home for you. You did a heap o' livin' it you made some new friends, took part in campus activities, tried to make a good scholastic record, and learned how to adjust your lite to meet changing conditions. If you did all these things there was growth - mental, emotional, spiritual. As you look back over your 1952-53 school year at Connors I hope you will try to forget the unpleasant things which might have come your way, and remem- ber only the pleasant experiences. The heaviest load anyone can carry is a mind full oi resentments and disappointments. I have enjoyed working with each of you, and con- sider every student who attended Connors in 1952-53 a good personal friend of mine. May I extend to each of you my very best wishes for a long and happy life spent in the service ot' your fellow man. Sincerel y, Si A. B. Childress Dean .Q . MR. A. B. CI-IILDRESS, our Dean.
