LEECH: Top-notch scholar, genuine Christian, experienced teacher, he is a recognized scientist in the American Chemical Society. Dividing his time between directing the Loma Linda Food Company's research program and La Sierra's Chemistry Department, he impresses his students with the importance of scientific study coupled with usable Christianity. The initial im- pression of an eminently capable scholar with disarming friend- liness is only strengthened as one really gets to know him. Louis C. Palmer Hall WILLIAM D.

LUELLA KRETSCHMAR, lVI.S. Assistant Professor of Chemistry ll. RAYMOND SHELDEN, M.S. MAHLON C. TATRO, Ph.D. Instructor in Chemistry KRETSCHMAR: Intellectual and reserved, she stands waiting to give willing assistance to those who need it. Future chemists find her classes challeng- ingly yet kindly taught. Despite the demands of teaching, she still finds time for gardening, collecting poetry, and, most important of all, her family. SHELDEN: He moves in a world of test tubes and heakers but still finds time to take an energetic part in the many activities of collegiate life. Chemistry students find him an exacting yet friendly teacher who gives only the grades that have been worked and studied for. TATRO: L.S.C.'s new assistant professor of chemistry fills a vital place in the lives of many would-be medical students. Helpful to those who need help, he has little sympathy with those who find procrastination more lucrai tive than delving into the mysteries of chemical analyses.

Q71 . JKLIAN L. THOMPSON. Ph.D. Professor of Physics K yr, LESTER H. CUSHMAN, M.S. Professor of Mathematics SAN FERNANDO HALL-ON the outside, ivy covered in the best academic tradition, on the inside, recently restyled to meet ade- quately the needs of physics and mathematics courses. Twelve classrooms and laboratories are supplemented by ap- paratus rooms, staff offices, a photographic darkroom, a machine shop, and a departmental library-all combining to provide facili- ties for classes, laboratory sections, individual experimental prob- lems, and research. The new Natural Science course, expressly designed to meet the needs of the General Education program, shares these facilities. Special student experimental projects are correlated when possible with current research efforts of the teaching staff: Mr. Cushman in medical electronic equipment, Mr. Riggs in high energy parti- cles: and Dr. Thompson in a spectral-time, study of alternating current arcs. Young's Morlulusw is no mystery to physics students Rene Petigny and Guy Mann as they study into the laws governing the stress and strain on metals. fur l . git. vw TS at 4 L., is ,xl . JAMES RIGGS, M.S. Assistant Professor of Physics THOMPSON: Years of college teaching have served to deepen this pr0fessor's determination to produce quality students. Scholarly but not stuffy, learned but likable, he is widely respected for his Christian qualities in and out of the classroom. On the rare occasions when he agrees to emcee a program, students note with pleasure that scientific study has only sharpened his wit. CUSHMAN: A jack-of-all-trades and master of all, he follows many unique and interesting lines of work. Music, photography, and physics, to name a few, have all felt his touch of thoroughness. An Eisenhower jacket and an in- stantaneous smile keynote a friendly, busy campus per- sonality. RIGGS: With lightning speed this human calculator fills the blackboard with mathematical symbols while fasci- nated freshmen watch with wonderment. He is happier, however, in physics class explaining the relationship be- tween ergs, Joules, and horsepower. His ready smile, quick wit, and willingness to explain scientific mysteries add even the freshmen to his large host of admirers.
