DEDICATION A silent figure walks across campus. When spoken to, he replies with a smile. Behind that smile and unwavering blue eyes is a love for teaching, and a dedication toward inspiring his students to learn more than curriculum requirements. A man loved and admired by his students, he became almost a legend on campus. His classes were like no other math courses any had been in before. They learned his subject and knew their time had not been wasted at semester ' s end. Patience? — he was never observed with- out it. Understanding? — he understood, and he was the friend of many students who were unaware. Fairness? — there was no other way. A man who teaches, one who works to develop the minds of young adults, one who enjoys living. The face is that of Mr. J. D. Stonestreet, instructor of algebra and math- ematics for ten years at MDJC. To him we dedicate this 1964-1965 edition of the Retrospect.
