BEHIND THE SCENES at the people, the real live people, behind those professor’s masks. The student body-faculty relationships are especially close at PAMC and we hope this “inside look” will make them On these pages we have attempted to give you a brief look | even better. Have you ever seen a “Terrible?” You can talk to one while waiting to see President McKee, just in case Mrs. Reiswig, President’s secretary, is too busy to entertain you. Dean Freeman McKee seems happy with his intro- duction to “Terrible Tom”... he probably compares favorably with some ik of the students. As you may have noticed, PAMC professors can come up with more than grade cards and exams . . . witness this picture of a typical “proud papa.” David Perry (this makes three) was born to Professor and Mrs. A. G. Bates on November 22, 1959. Professor Bates is in the School of Music, and Mrs. Bates, also an accomplished musician, is in charge of the choir at Goodwell Methodist Church. Fall Convocation is another of the outside duties of the faculty. : President McKee and Reverend Jim Rogers listen appreciatively to | Mr. Milton Bradley and the A Cappella Choir and their special ar- rangement of Bach’s t Honor and Glory.” :

THE FACULTY We accept the presence of our busy faculty, competent and capable, the faces above the lecterns or over a lab table, but sometimes it’s easy to forget that they have other lives to lead, too. President Marvin McKee, heading our able faculty, is shown delivering his anual Fall Convocation address which has become part of Panhandle A M tradition. There never seems to be a dull moment for Nurse Truva Hood. The long cold winter made much flu bugs, colds and headaches, all to be tended between classes and in off hours. Being nurse and student at the same time poses a big problem, though one that is capably handled by our nurse. Just ask Betty Hood how well cared for PAMC Infirmary cases are. i Gossipping is not reserved for women alone ... as you ) can see by checking this huddle. However, appear- i ances can be deceiving, and Mr. Bradley, Dean McKee 4 and Captain Ellis may only be discussing the head- i aches of enrollment during this break,
