THE STAFF v .

It is a familiar sight to see him sharing some amusing story or lead- ing songs in chapel or sitting behind his office desk conversing with a troubled student. Such characteristic pictures as these give him a special place among us and will linger with us. With love and appreciation we dedicate THE OAK of 1 955 to . . .

One girl, thinking thf Girls Mourn Loss Of Friend, Jasp V Do You Agnostic? Have you noticed the sad e. pression on the faces of some i the girls? Perhaps you have beei wondering what caused the gloom. Well, a close friend of the girls died from injuries received in a violent accident. Jasper, the cat, no longer roams through the halls of Wright Dormitory, Main Build- ing, or Davis Building. Several weeks ago, a young gentleman with a coat of fur, green eyes, and a very lovable dis- position entered Wright Dormi- tory during a heavy rain. The girls took him in, fed him, and loved him. As time went on the name of Jasper was given to him. Not only the girls became inter- ested in Jasper, but the boys and teachers saw him occasionally. In one of the services during Religi- ous Emphasis Week he made his formal appearance by prancing around the stage while the guest minister delivered the evening ' s message. Then on the chilly mom of De- cember 1. Jasper met death as a result of injuries received in a fight with a visiting bull-dog; the dog came out victorious. Now the girls have in their hearts an emp- n of the day of iras talking with tance of itance of whom nder the influ- d agnostic, aid my friend, I All he ev religion  ield Mr. Stan- Navy for two years and at the present in the Air Force Reserve.

Miss Wollscheiber told of her childhood shadowed by the inse- curity, privations and horrors of World War II days and of the in- ner peace experienced by her mother and her through contact with the Christian message inter- preted by a Protestant minister.
