IN MEM ORIAM CLARE CE The Arkansas State Teachers College suffered a great loss in the past year through the death of Clar- ence S. Williams. Mr. Williams was professor and acting head of the Department of Geography when he died in his sleep Iune 26, 1964. A native of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, Mr. Williams made his home in Arkansas following combat air force service in Europe in World War II. He was president S. WILLIAMS of the Higher Education Division of the Arkansas Edu- cation Association. He had also planned a textbook for the geography of Arkansas. In his eleven years at ASTC, Mr. Williams had been a friend and kindly advisor to many students. He had worked with students as sponsor of the Student Senate and Phi Sigma Epsilon as well as in individual contacts. We honor his memory.

DEDI CA TION Many new things have been added to the physical plant of Arkansas State Teachers College. Even though the school has changed physically: we are very glad that the quality of the faculty has not been diluted by the new influx of students. One of the parts of this and any other college campus, that plays an important part, is the library. The library is important for many reasons: first, it provides a place for quiet study, and second, a place in which to find information needed for any class. One thing that most people do not think about is how the books are placed on the shelves so that a person can find them. This is the job of the tech- nical librarian. This person is not always seen, but she is a very important part of the library. She has the responsibility of classifying every book that comes into the library and of recording the book and the place to which it is assigned. The dedication this year is to this person. She has been at ASTC for twelve years. She has spon- sored organizations, and she is always willing to help anyone in need of help. She got her B.A. at Arkansas College, her M.A. at the University of Denver, and she has clone additional work at the University of Washington. During the Second World War she was in the Waves, and she is presently the president of the Technical Processers depart- ment of the American Library Association. She teaches classes in Cataloging and Classification. We dedicate this, the 1965 SCROLL to you, Mrs. Opal Walters, as a small acknowledgment of the work you have done for Arkansas State Teachers College. - Mrs. Opal Walters. Mrs. Walters checks an entry in the catalogue ,ll Mrs. Walters rests for a minute in a hard day.
