WHO'S WHO Fourteen LeTourneau students were honored in the 1976-77 Who's Who selection. These are second sememster juniors who are listed in Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Dean Caneday, assisted by members of the faculty and administration, nominated the students. Selection was based ona student's academic achievements, extra-curricular activities, and community loyalty and participation. The goal of Who’s Who is to recognize students who not only excel academically, but who also demonstrate a solid support for the American way of life. The prestige and significance of the award is recognized in industry, although the award provides no financial stipend. Pictured L to R are: Rick Noel, Brian Schmidt, and Keith Leonhart. 128

There are many ways to honor students and faculty who have excelled. Faculty members have been chosen for recognition by student groups and their peers. Students have been named to Gold Key Club and Who’s Who. Many are honored when fellow students elect them to office in the Student Senate or one of the campus groups which serve student needs. However, it is often true that some people render in- valuable service to the campus without official recognition. The PIONEER staff, thus honors eight who have made the campus better for their lives among us. This is not an official honor, but a very personal acknowledgement that service does not go unnoticed. WE HONOR LEE BEACHY has been ‘‘Mr. IM’’ for most of his college career. It is true that he has held an official position on the staff, but his contribution to intramural sports has gone far beyond a job. His soft-spoken firmness established a stability to a program which involves well over 50% of the students in one of the most comprehensive IM programs in the nation. His spiritual contribution was evident in his initiation of the Wednesday night prayer services and in his consistent quiet testimony. His trademark has been a never-ending supply of tee-shirts commemorating long-distance races he has competed in. 130 MR. JACK CRAWFORD has now completed thirty years of service to LeTourneau College, something of a record for a college with thirty-one years of history. A major portion of his professional career has been performed here on the campus. He can regale you with tales of the “old days,’’ but his students can detect a very definite interest in the issues of contemporary life. He has taught just about every mathematics course in the curriculum and well deserves recognition for his loyalty to the institution.
