,L..- ? Truth becomes reality by your own experience and involve ment in it. Someone can explain something to you and you may grasp the overall idea of what they are saying, but until the idea, theory or whatever becomes real to you, it isn't really true for you. A teacher in a geometry class may explain how a problem is worked out, but until the student works out the problem on his own, he doesn't fully grasp how it is worked. People may have explained to you about Jesus Christ dying for your sins, but until you, yourself, grasp the idea that Jesus did literally die-dead for YOU, it is just a lot of meaningless humdrum, or a nice idea but . . . when you do grasp the idea and realize what it means to you -then whatg ah, this! Then the idea is real to you, it isn't just someones idea any more- it is true and by your own experience you find it to be so. 2 A senior walks up to receive his diploma and the truth of his four years of work becomes a vivid, tangible reality. A college graduate begins a job and as she works, the truth of what he learned in college becomes real to him. A high school senior pours over a college catalog and develops an idea of what college life will be like-truth comes the first week on campus. An architect draws a blueprint- then it becomes a bridge across San Francisco Bay. The original idea may have to be modified somewhat by events, but the truth of the idea, its core, will become real, just as the greatest Truth became the greatest Reality when The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth . . .

D14 Golda N Kemfzfzbk Dr. Kendrick at her farm in Woodinville. 4 I 14 Memoriam Dr. Colda Nelson Kendrick is a name which calls up vivid memories for scores of SPC graduates. Usually the first picture called to mind is the former custom of skipping down the aisles of McKinley with her French ma- jors-just in time to decorate the building for Christmas. It was this type of enthusiasm com- bined with her zest for living that made Dr. Kendrick a tradition at SPC. She was born in Dow City, Iowa, and took her basic college workin Illinois and Nebraska. Dr. Kendrick was known for her skill in lan- guages, she came to SPC with a BA. in Creek, and an lVl.A. and a PhD. in French, with minors in the classics and Italian. Spanish and Cerman were only side interests! As an accomplished soloist and a lover of great music, Dr. Kendrick soon found her place on the SPC music faculty. Following the com- pletion of her studies at the University of Washington and some concentrated voice work in London and Paris, Dr. Kendrick became the head of the SPC French department. Those who took courses from Dr. Kendrick found that she was a demanding professor whose infectious love for her subject made her students eager to go beyond the assignment for personal enrichment. I-ler overwhelming curiosity and her academic approach to her questions made her a true scholar, this was her goal for her students as well. Dr. Kendrick finished her work at SPC just as she would have always wanted to-while she was 'istill in the saddlef' She died quietly after a regular day of teaching on October l3, 1964. The SPC students, faculty, and alumni all felt the loss of a dear friend whose notes of encouragement, witty poems, and hilarious speeches had become a part of the colleges way of life.
