Harding College - Petit Jean Yearbook (Searcy, AR)

1961 Petit Jean dedicated to Charles G. Pitner Many of us met him our freshman year as we enrolled for classes in basic math. We can still re- member his first days questioning, hNow, Bill, where did we get the number system we now use? And after this, as we began tn see new and practical mean- ings attached to old mathematical figures, we praised his ability to interest us in the field which he under- stands so thoroughly. We have become accustmrled to seeing him step- ping leisurely along the walk between the Student Center and the Science Building. And in casual con- versations and student activities he has shown his in- terest in the things that we think are important. To an outstanding teacher and a devoted man, the senior class dedicates the 1961 Petit Jean - to MR. CHARLES GREY PITNER.
