N MEMORY OF GEQRGE FISHE Death is but a name, a date, A milestone by the stormy road, Where you may lay aside your load And bow your face and rest and await, Defying fear, defying fate. Joaquin Miller Relative to What? ,uv-ef - 1' i in When a brilliant man dies, something in all of us dies with him. When he is a young man like George Fisher. the loss is even more keenly felt. Mr. Fisher was a brilliant young artist, a dedicated educator and eritie of sorts-with a superb record of achievement and a behind-the-scenes worker. He will be greatly missed. but then everything is relative. Time is relative. Anytime you evaluate anything, you must make it relative to something. It may be a standard, a value or death.

DEDIC 4 TI ON 'elf we work upon marble, it will perish. If we work upon brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work upon men's immortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternityf' Dan- iel Webster The structuring of immortal minds has been the task of Mr. Johnny Halsell since 1952 when he became, not just another teacher, but an untiring, unfaltering mathe- matics personality whom all students will eventually quote during their stay at Utica. From the small town of Toomsuba, Mississippi to Alcorn College to the University of Indiana, Mr. Halsell has become an integral part of Utica Junior College and its stu- dent body. The Hyoungstersw, as he so fondly prefers- to call them, find strength and awe from the classroom procedures. A smile, a word, a joke--these Mr. Halsell al- ways has. For his service, his dedication to the molding of minds, his willingness to work and many more admirable traits, the 1972 Uticanite is dedicated to Mr. Johnny Halsell, Using Cicero as our guide we can say unot only is there an art in knowing a thing, but also a certain art in teaching itfi
