Declicatiou.. ' ELDOM DO TWO PEOPLE become such an integral part of a campus in three short years as have DR. AND IVIRS. L. L. CLIFTON during their tenure at Oklahoma City University. The Cliftons came here from Huntingdon College for Women in Mont- gomery, Alabama, where Dr. Clifton served as dean and Mrs. Clifton taught French and Spanish. Dr. Clifton has become known to CCU students as the little man with the big black cigar ana' the repertoire of only slightly corny jokesf, l-lis psychology and education classes are always full because, as one student put it, Her a regular guy . . . ana' his lectures are interesting, too. lolly and good-natured describe hlrs. Clifton, whose patience and sense of fairness have made her a favorite with the student body. That she is highly respected by her students is reflected in the following remark: Oh, people just a'ori't claeat in .Mrs. Cliftorfs classes . . . slae's too nice! Both are qualihed teachers in their respective fields. Dr. Clifton received his B.A. degree from the University of Oklahoma and holds M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago and Colorado State College of Education, respec- tively. Mrs. Clifton's B.A. degree is from indiana University, and she has done graduate work at the Academic Querbes in Nlontreal and at the University of Colorado. Dr. Clifton belongs to the National Society for the Study of Education and to the National Society of College Teachers of Education. He served two years as Administrative Dean at CCU and, at present, is head of the Education De- partment. Mrs. Clifton is afhliated with the American Association of University Women and the National Education Association. She teaches French at OCU and founded and sponsors the French club, Tous Unis. Off the campus, the Cliftons are much like any other happily married couple. l-le jokes about his mother-in-law while she makes remarks about uthat husband of mine. I-le likes to come home in the evening and smoke his cigar and read the paper while his wife Puts dinner on the table. So, because they're sincere and fair, because they enjoy a good joke, because theyire real people in every sense of the word, we are happy to dedicate Til-IE 1949 KESHENA to DR. AND MRS. L. L. CLIFTON. 73age 5
