We, the class of 1979, proudly dedicate ttiis edition of the ARROW to Mr. ED SILSBEE. In the execution of his duties as security offi- cer for the Burns Security System, Ed brings warmth, understanding, and a friendly, Hi, How ya ' doing? to the students of Lycoming College. As a native of the area, Ed recalls playing football on the field which is now the quad, the construction of many buildings presently on campus, and those who lived in the Angel Factory. Following a long career at Sears Roebuck (downtown Williamsport), Ed and his wife Bubbles toured the western part of the United States. In the late sixties, Ed joined the Burns guards and was assigned Lycoming College. He is equipped with many stories of the college in its earlier days and some of the more humor- ous things which have happened while in the service of Lycoming. This openness and free- ness of conversation are qualities that stu- dents have come to appreciate over the years. Ed is never too busy to have a chat. When informed that he had been chosen by the senior class for the dedication of this yearbook, Ed simply replied, It seems to me that with all those professors with all their degrees, that they would be more worthy than I. It ' s not the education that we are acknowl- edging, but the efforts of an individual who daily goes out of his way to be friendly. In many ways the guard job is like my personnel job for Sears, Ed commented. In business you have to treat a man with respect and trust until you are shown you must treat him differently — the same is true with the students. He said that the secret for getting along with the students well is, treating them as you would want to be treated. While this is a simple philosophy, it is an endearing one. As he makes his rounds, Ed tries to let the students be themselves while maintaining order and protecting the rights of others. It is for the dedication and friendliness of this man and for the addition he makes in our lives on this campus that we dedicate the 1 979 ARROW to our dear friend, Ed.
