The yearbook staff wishes to dedicate the 1975 TARN to Mrs. Lois Mackey, with sincere appreciation of her support and assistance. The TARN Staff It was challenging It was work It was interesting. So just a few weeks ago, Mrs. Mackey summed up a consultant ' s visit. So it has been for her, for all of us, these too brief, wonderful years she has been with us. There is no way to express what she is, what she does. I don ' t pretend to know the hours she has put in, the trips she has taken on her own, the outside work she has done. For me, she will never leave . . . 1 early recognized my inadequacy to say what I feel; and so, I have asked for words from some who knew her best . . . And, Mrs. Mackey, we commit ourselves — On the firm foundation you left. The faith you built — It will go on. Barbara B. Luchsinger Chairman, Communications Mrs. Mackey has made a definite and worthwhile contribution to Rend Lake College. She has been totally committed and dedicated to providing the best educational program that is possible. The time she has spent on campus has never seemed to be a concern of hers, but rather, to do the best job possible. I can only say that she is truly a wonderful instructor. James M. Snyder President, Rend Lake College I am completing my 35th year as an educator and I would rank Mrs. Mackey among the very top instructors I have had the privilege of working with. No greater dedication is shown in a life than that which proves an attitude of patience and perfection in accomplishment. A student achieves in the classroom by continuous trials and failures under the guidance of a competent, and unyielding instructor. Philosopher Henry Adams has stated: A teacher affects eternity; she never knows where her influence will stop. I think these lines could well refer to Mrs. Mackey, one who has encouraged her students to think and to gain literary perspective. Her real enthusiasm for all that is good, all that is worthwhile in life will continue to inspire all who come in contact with her, with strength in the face of adversity. James F. Yates Director of Admissions and Registrar Even before Mt. Vernon Community College became Rend Lake College, the faculty realized the need for instruction in reading. Dr. Snyder approved the employment of a reading specialist and the college was fortunate to obtain the services of Lois Mackey. Her dedication to both subject matter and student, her willingness to spend long hours, her patience, and her encouragement have enabled many students to stay in school who might otherwise have withdrawn. With her retirement, the college loses the services of a loyal and valuable instructor. Howard Rawlinson Dean of Mt. Vernon Community College, Rend Lake College, 1967-1972. 2
