Dekalb College - Barron Yearbook (Clarkston, GA)

Education, someone once said, is a self-induced project; however, a source of outside stimulation is helpful and very often needed. Such a dynamic force is found in Mr. William J. Gardiner, for he has the innate ability to channel the goals and interest of the students into a program of self-im- provement. This is made possible by his competent knowl- edge of history, which he teaches vigorously, and by his capacity to introduce in his lectures the human side of his subject, making it more timely. Since history is the mirror of the future, Mr. Gardiner, projects it in a manner his students can comprehend and appreciate. His willingness to help build and create is evidenced by his acting as Student Senate advisor and tutor to the bas- ketball team while they are on tour, which furthers his desire and enthusiasm for helping students develop their character, principle, and attitude. The Sophomore Class dedicates the 1968 BARON to the man with unlimited cool, Mr. BeeJay Gardiner. DEDICATION 18
