Www gw,x L: fri ,H ,I r. V. .74 James A. Atkinson, Deon of Students DedkaHon A Warm philosophy of life . . . an interest in anything which the student is interested . . . talents that demand appreciation . . . a life devoted to God and the cause of Christian education . . . and excel- lence in friendship characterize Jim Atkinson, Dean of Students. Busy? Extremely, but never too busy to help students in any way possible. Having sponsored the class for three years, your sensitive counsel, expressed with animated humor, has guided Harding students and won for you their regard. There is no tribute great enough to mark our appreciation for the contributions you have made toward improving life on our campus. It is with respect and gratitude that We - the class of 1958 -dedicate the 1958 Petit lean to you, Jim Atkinson.

Having grown up and been educated at Abi- lene. Texas . . . and having mastered the round. pear- shaped tones of the professional radio man during four years with a Lubbock, Texas. radio station . . . Jim Atkinson left the plains of West Texas to become Field Representative for Harding College. Because of his ability and perseverance, he was soon pro- moted to Director of the Personnel Office and next to Dean of Students. His work requires many hours and much 'imidnight oil', which he gives unself- ishly. A master of verbal brilliance, Dean Atkinson will not only be remembered for his fairness as an administrator but also for his mercurial mind . . . his nimble tongue . . . the rapier thrust of his verbal retorts and puns . . . and his jocular personality: Q L ' Q, Oafr,.isLfC fn -s f ' 7 UT LV ,A.g,g,M-,x fofs,f.,e,z, 14:11 vi-fvvhvffj V I .
