Charles Stewart For more than 15 years he has been putting up with students who don't know a Rembrandt original from a calendar print-and he still has a sense of humor. And that genuine ability to make others laugh is the thing that sticks in student's minds-even after they've forgotten what Charles Stewart taught them about art. He has worked to build a top-notch art department at HPC by working with his wife, Maurine, an HPC art professor, to transform old barracks into fine art facilities. And those old barracks were temporary 15 years ago. Stewart has been involved in HPC's athletic program for many years and is long-time chairman of the athletic committee. He is also a member of the college's publications board and at one time served as Lasso sponsor. And it is for this untiring effort that we, the 1965-66 Lasso staff, dedicate our yearbook to Charles Stewart. He has been honored many times for his years of outstanding service to HPC, stretching back to 1947. In 1962 he took the award for most outstanding faculty member and he has been cited for his presidency of the Lone .Star Conference, for his series of drawings and descriptive articles on historical West Texas, for designing a series of brochures for HPC, for a series of articles on Brownwood industry and for his work for the West Texas Art Association. His latest project is the Academy of Freedom mobile, which features colored symbols of Christianity. And someday he may be cited for that book he has been writing for years . ..andyears. .. A native of Blanket, Stewart is a graduate of Brownwood High School and attended both Howard Payne and Daniel Baker Colleges as well as Centenary College in Louisiana before finally taking his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Texas in 1946 and master of fine arts from Texas Christian University in 1951. He is a World War II veteran with service in the Southwest Pacific-but anyone in his classes knows that already. And there is another thing they know-that he is one of the few professors with both the dedication and humor that students remember as the makings of a great teacher and a fine man.
