1982 Martian Dedication With an entire yearbook dedicated to friends and friendship, it is only fitting for the staff to choose to dedicate the book to an individual who has been ,a true friend to students, faculty and administration alike. Dr. Gwin Morris is Academic Dean for ETBC. ln that capacity, he counsels students and helps them file their degree plans when they are ready. His wisdom and genuine interest in each student is apparent as he meets his appointments with dependability. As Academic Dean, Dr. Morris also works closely with the faculty and administration of the college. He Dr. Gwin Morris continually develops projects and plans which are to their best interest and his enthusiasm is motivational. Another of Dr. Morris' functions at the college is as a History teacher. Students have been known to put off taking History until a class with Dr. Morris was available. That in itself speaks to his abilities as a teacher. It would seem enough that Dr. Morris would impress and inspire his colleagues and the ETBC student body on the job, but his influence is much wider than that. He sets a great example as a Christian man who can function dynamically in many roles in life. He is a man, dedicated to his work, but not to the exclusion of his family, his community and his God. Deeply involved in many of the historical organizations of the community and state, Dr. Morris' leadership has been strong and well respected in the community. He is also active in his church' as he directs the Single Adult Sunday School Department. People consider Dr. Morris a total man.'f His work stands as an inspiration to those who know him as well as he, personally, stands as a willing friend to all
