They stay when We're away Even when all the students depart on weekends or holidays, there are a few families who, calling the JCJC campus home, stay to keep home fires burning for the rest of us who come and go. Everyone knows that President and Mrs. Tisdale with son James live in the lovely house across the lake. Besides them on campus live Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Waldrup, the Director of Student Services and his wife, the Dean of Women, Dean of the College Ronald Whitehead and his wife Charlotte and two children, Dean of Men Joe Flynt and Mrs. Flynt, and Mr. and Mrs. George Arnold and their three sons. Dr. and Mrs. Whitehead live in the old president's home. Mrs. Whitehead, who teaches mathematics, says she can even look out her classroom window and see her children playing. Interested in the school's history, Mrs. Whitehead pointed out that the house they live in was built in two weeks during the depression by lOO people with the WPA and CCC who labored from sunrise to sunset to put it up. Known around campus as Daddy , Joe Flynt, Dean of Men, likes his job even though he is at work 24 hours a day. The boys say they sometimes catch him listening to them gossip and that he gets along with everybody. Flynt says he meets new people every day and never has to look at the same old faces. Mr. and Mrs. Waldrup with their daughter, Missie Lee, live in Girls Dorm lll and they are blessed with having about 200 babysitters right at their doorstep- Missie I-ee has Three on the trampoline the three Arnold sons with parents George and learned to communicate with both Jo Arnold keep things lively in their corner of the campus girls and boys. The Waldrups feel that in living on campus they have gotten to know the students as people and not just as faces or numbers. On the other side of the campus, George Arnold, the band director, his wife Jo and three sons, live in one of the oldest houses on campus, next door to the Fine Arts building. Students are frequent visitors in their home. Mrs. Arnold, who works in Student Services on campus, is able to check on her children easily. One of the boys enjoys going to the band hall to hear the band practice. All of these families hold the place together, keeping things alive during holidays and weekends. At home on the campus, they stay, when we're away. 71 . Mr. and Mrs. Joe Flynt keep an apartment in the boys' dorm although they have a house not far from the campus. l76 I Faculty on Campus 3 wx-

If tastes like they made it from scratch! by Kara Kimbrough Imagine cooking dinner for approximately 2,200 people! And to make things even more difficult, what if they were starving, tired, drenched, demanding, ravenously hungry students! This task would send most homemakers into a cardiac arrest, but to the talented cooks of JC, it's nothing to worry about. Cooking for the mass of people that eat in the Iunchroom is slightly different from cooking for a cozy family of three, so it takes very special cooks to handle the job. At the break of dawn, the faithful workers in their spotless white uniforms, gather behind their monstrous stoves and begin preparing delicious and nutritious meals. To some, slaving all day in a hot kitchen would seem to be tedious and tiresome work, but most of the employees find their work satisfying and enjoyable. Getting to know the students on a personal basis is one of the rewards of being a Iunchroom employee. Students become friends and acquaintances, not just strange faces. And, of course, we wouldn't have it any other way. Nlr. Elliott Palmer, the new manager, feels that on the whole, the cafeteria is a good place to eat. l eat 95fXn of my meals here - l think the food is nutritious and we try to offer a variety. Mr. Palmer claims that much consideration, time and effort is put into preparing a meal that everyone will enjoy. We do everything ourselves, from peeling the potatoes to icing the cake. Can you imagine peeling 2,000 potatoes? Since the cafeteria caters to such a large crowd, it is often hard to please everyone, after all, they can't serve everyone's favorite dish every day. And of course, it is awfully hard to measure up to the culinary efforts of Mama that most are used to and enjoy. Overcoming these obstacles is what the devoted staff strives to do every day, and 99M of the time, they do overcome them. So, it is safe to say that, along with EVERYTHING else at JCJC, the cafeteria is xr 1.
