From the thrill of Homecoming Week to the beauty of May Fete, from the green beanie to the black mortar board, we hope to convey some of the warmth, some of the aca- demic spirit, and some of the sense of challenge we find in this place. Over the past years the Spectrum has been dedicated to many diH'erent types of people. There has not always been one of the faculty or one of the Deans. For that matter there has been little that one can say about the dedicatees which would, or for that matter could, be called a com- mon thread which would tie them all to- gether. But looking over the list of people who have been the recipients of this honor there is one thing which becomes apparent about all of them: they have all given of themselves in the form of significant to the College, and certainly no one person has more exemplified this tradition than Mavis, In 1959, Mavis Erdman graduated from North Central College, but she was not long to be gone from its hallowed halls. She returned to take up the position of seCretary to the Chaplain, and it was in this capacity that she rose to become As- sistant to the Chaplain in the Fall of 1963. Any person with the proper training could fill the job that she was assigned, but then filling that job was not what made either her or the job significant, It was the person. It is in this big job that the small things that she did which served to make her and the position the entity that it has become. How many of us have walked by the office and just because we felt like or because we needed it we stopped in? Maybe all we wanted were some of those little candies that she always keeps around or maybe we just wanted to sit a spell, but no matter what the reason we found one thing: we left with more than we came with. What each of us took with us, was some- thing uniquely ours. It was the product of our interaction with the smile across the desk. Therefore, it would be of little use to say more, for that which would be said could not mirror the many refiections each person found in the office with the sign over the door, which read simply Chaplain
