FORE ORD As the days of autumn come scampering by like squirrels and winter winds brush cold cloudy fingers against our faces and a hint of spring lingers in the air, we know it has come again. As we walk the green framed campus and feel the first soft breezes of spring stroke our hair, we stop and say, Where has it gone ? Perhaps the answer lies in the dai- ly rush and routine of classes or in the half-remembered images of a Homecoming parade. Perhaps we lost the year in a long thoughtful walk or in the looking-glass stillness of an autumn lake. Perhaps we have lost it among the brittle leaves of autumn or in the soft white clusters ofsnow. Perhaps also we have lost it in the spring, among the newborn grass greening toward the world or in the first warm glow of sunset beckoning the summer. Where have we lost the year? Certainly it has not been in our thoughts, for in the passing of each college year we find something that we never knew we possessed. We have gained something very precious in each and every day. Perhaps we have lost a year, but we have gained the gift of insight and wisdom. 4

Dedication of RHETOR in memory of CMS Deans During the past year, CMS has lost two close friends and devoted colleagues. The late Dean D. W. Tieszen and the late Dean Floy A. Timmerman have served the CMS campus in recent years with a sense of unselfishness and devotion. The 1969 RHETOR is dedicated to the memory of the many fine services that each has performed for the college. The late Dean D. W. Tieszen was born in South Dakota in 1912. After graduating from the University of South Dakota, he served as a high school teacher, a principal, and as the Dean of the Black Hills Teacher's College. During World War II he served as a captain in the United States Army. In 1957 he first assumed the position of Dean of Instruction at CMS. Once president of the South Dakota Education Association, Dean Tieszen was a well-known education- al writer and author of the American Legion's handbook on Teach- ing About Communismf' He has also served as Lieutenant Gover- nor of Kiwanis International and on national committees of the American Legion and Phi Delta Kappa. Dean Floy A. Timmerman, Food and Housing Secretary at CMS since 1957 and Dean of Women since 1964, was born in Kipp, Kan- sas, on August 30, 1911. As an under-graduate at the College of Emporia, she served as secretary to the dean. Upon receiving her A.B. in 1933 at Emporia, she served as secretary to the president and as alumni secretary. She received her M.S.E. from CMS in 1961. An active member of Phi Kappa Delta, Pi Gamma Mu, the National Association of Women Deans and Counselors, the National Associ- ation of Colleges and University Housing Offices, and the National Education Association, she also found time to sponsor Alpha Lamb- da Delta and CWENS. Dr. D. W. Tieszen Dean of Instruction W! Mrs. Floy Timmerman Dean of Women The presence of Dean Tieszen and Dean Timmerman will be great- ly missed on the CMS campus. Their service to the college can only be measured in the helpfulness and the time that they have devoted to their positions. Their memories will remain as a part of the edu- cational community and the tradition of CMS. im 'ff LEM, 1 Z Mrs. Floy Timmerman, Dean of Women, talks with Mrs. Gower and CMS coed.
