One year of experience
With a full year of orientation
and learning behind, the
sophomores of 1981 entered Harding with a new attribute, experience. After two semesters of
pledge week, the Pit (Armstrong)
and the Pitette (Cathcart), the
sophomore class was glad to have
their new-found confidence and
knowledge of the campus.
Finally the American Heritage
and the American Studies
Building stopped being confused.
Finally they had realized that
cafeteria food got no better.
Finally it came dear that mom
and
dad
were
at
home
and
couldn't help too much.
Most class members had also
picked one of Searcy's congregations to attend, and the best places
to eat out had already been seoped
out.
The experience gained from the
past year spread into many areas
of campus life. Sophomore Brad
Bradley, from Charlotte, N. c.,
talked about two particular
aspects of growth he witnessed,
.. As a sophomore, you have more
of a grip on your study habits as
compared with your dating life.
This helps you manage time better. Now, you realize that dating
can't rule your life like it did during the freshman year. It just
comes with experience."
"It seems like you have more
tact. You know when to laugh or
not laugh in chapel, when to say
things and who to say them to,"

said Susan Parkey, a sophomore
from Franklin, Tenn., of her
year's growth.
The transition to a "mature"
upperclassman was a good one for
most. All of the freshmen jokes in
chapel were now directed at someone else, and there was a freedom
to laugh along.
With the advantages of "learning the ropes," however, responsibility entered the picture. Many
sophomores restled with academic
major selections ranging from
computing to recreation. More
time was spent in atoning for the
previous year's low grade point
average as hour after hour was put
in at the library.
A signal of the new era in the
sophomore's life was his removal
from the freshman dorm. Now into a more modern structure,
showers and telephone calls were
not quite as big a problem. The
selection of a roomate to fit one's
own personality and tastes also
gave life a smoother road to
travel.
It was a full, active year for the
sophomore class. Although not
weighted down with thoughts of
graduation and leaving, the
second-year students had arrived,
'tnd as one sophomore put it, .. It
felt good!"

"Hello"
If Alexander Graham Bell had
ever known the full impact of his
invention on Harding University.
we still might be using the Pony
Express. The telephone - it rings,
and rings across the campus of
our small university.
Among the telephone answerers
spanning the campus, a phenomenon has developed. There are

totally off guard. Some of these
"hellos" are startling. Some are
humorous. Still others are just
down ~ right strange.
There is the long-standing,
classic answer for the freshman
held up in Armstrong Dorm. The
phone, if answered. will be picked
UP. and then these words come
racing over the wires to some unsuspecting parent or loved one.
"Hello! This is your Armpit. May
I help you?"
Of course, there are other
responses. A few. sweet Southern
women turn their "hello" into
"yellow." as if speaking to a
Chinaman. Some males skip the
social amenities and get right
down to business by answering,
"Whatta ya want?" A few confused aliens do their best. but
generally wind up with only a
"jello!"

occasionally answers. " Batman

On the receiving end in the
women's dormitory, an unsuspecting caller might be greeted by
"Foxes Den - Head Fox speaking," or " Cathcart Hatchery
which chick do you want?"
Yes, there are all kinds of
responses. Whether it be the conventional "hello, " "Kellar first,"
and "Smiths' residence" or the
not so conventional, the new wave
of telephone answering seems to
be here to stay.

Perpetual motion:
Linda Hilbun
-------------------------------------------------------------- Sophomores
One of her journalism professors describes her as the "girl
who sits back .. . and pretends to
learn what she already knows."
Linda Hilbun smiles about that.
Linda, a journalism major from
Memphis, Tenn., works full-time
as a reporter for the Searcy Daily
Citizen. She also carriers a full
academic load, and has found the
time to work in the Harding
r Sports Information Office and to
win awards for her work on the
BisoD.
There are advantages to the arrangements. "You can apply what
you learn," she says, "and that's
important. Journalism is kind of
abstract in the classroom and you
need a chance to apply it."
Linda's interest in journalism
began while she was a student at
Memphis Harding Academy. "I
was a junior in high schoOl, and
my mother told me I could write,"
she says, smiling. With that encouragement, she began working
on the school newspaper, the
Lion, and spent the following
summer as an intern for the Memphis State Helmsman.
By then, she says, she knew she
wanted to be a journalist.
Linda came to Harding in 1977
("It was natural after going to the
Memphis Academy") and immediately joined the Bison staff as a
reporter. The next year, she
became features editor; the next
year, she was sports editor.
She won four Arkans-as--Publications Association awards, including a first place for her sports
column. She also won the Neil B.
Cope Award for outstanding
sportswriting in 1979 and 1980.
And, somehow, Linda found
the time to "turn pro."
"The Citizen had never hired an
intern before," she recalls. "But I
applied and got the job." Three
wee~s later a reporter quit and
Linda was asked to take his place.
"I've been fortunate working
for the Citizen," she says. "Most
of my stories get to the front page;
if I were on a larger paper, I'd be
writing obits and stuff."
Linda's work week includes
covering night meetings and ball
games. She also has a standing
assignment to write a feature article for the Sunday paper. She
usually writes the articles about
people in the county who are doing something unusual.
"Writing features is a creative
outlet ... a chance to use creative
skills," she says. "And you get a
chance to meet people."
"I've interviewed several
lOO-year-olds on their birthdays,
and I interviewed a 3-year-old
who was taking karate. I enjoy
meeting interesting as well as
famous people."
Linda turns the leaves of her
scrapbook. Each page contains
photos of people she has written
about.
"This is George Fisher, the
cartoonist for the Arkansas
Gazette ... he's one of the best in
the country. He's from White
County . ..
"This is Jerry Eckwood, just
before he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . ..
"But I've learned a lot . . .
that's Russell Hitchcock of Air
Supply ... I wonder what I'm going to say every time, but it works
out ...
"That's Bill Clinton, three or
four weeks before the election. I
got to spend half an hour with
Gov. Clinton alone . . . I was just
panicky."
The scrapbook is thick. There
are pictures of Congressman Ed
Bethune, whom Linda has interviewed "many, many times," and
of singer Gene Cotton, who has
been to Harding so many times
that he calls Linda by name.
Linda's biggest story, was on
Bill Dickey, a member of the
baseball Hall of Fame and a teammate of Lou Gehrig and Babe
Ruth .
"We'd been looking for him for
months," she says. "He lives in
Little Rock and I got his unlisted
phone number. He was pretty hot
about that, at first."
Linda's story appeared in the
Arkansas Democrat and was picked up by the Associated Press. She
still has clippings from papers that
carried the story. "I sent that
home to Mom and Dad," Linda
says.
What's ahead for Linda
Hilbun?
"After graduation . . . I just
don't know," she says. "Over my
career, I'd like to dabble in
everything - public relations,
advertising, and broadcast news.
I'm kind of a restless person. Four
years is a long time to stay in one
place. "
"Curiosity" is what makes Linda Hilbun restless. "I want to see
other places and meet other people and work at other jobs. I have
found that I can be a reporter. I
want to see what else I can do. I
want to see how far I can go."

Betty G riffith . a 4- 11 " senior
nursing major at Harding, looks
harmless. But she isn't defenseless; she has black belts in both
karate and judo.

Griffit h said. "My father really

said. "It is mainly an art which

uses body mechanics and leverage.
I like it better than karate; my size
gives me an advantage in it."
Griffith was awarded her second black belt in karate and her
black belt in judo when she was in
junior college. Although she no
longer takes lessons, she continues
to practice her exercises and falls
for judo and her kicks and jabs
for karate.
She has never had to use her
skills for her own defense, but she
did help her brother out of a sc uffle once. Griffith uses her talents
in other circumstances. "I have
found the use of body mechanics
and leverage very helpful in li fting
patients," she explained.
Because she has confidence in
her ability to defend herself, Griffith has few of the fears that many
women face. But she feels very
firml y that the martial arts are not
fun and games. It should be used
only for self-defense - it's not
something to play around with.
It's a discipline, and you have to
learn not to show it off.
Although Griffith has found interest in karate and judo to be
more widespread in California,
her horne state, it is growing in
popularity. There is a school in
Searcy which offers martial arts
courses to aspiring young -student s. She has not been connected
with the school here , but she
"would recommend it (martial
arts defense) to anyone of any
age. Once you have it, no one can
take it away from you."

Not having seriously considered

"Why did you come to Harding?" A student's answer might
include anything from parental
force to spiritual /ife to
a Christian college before, I heard
my mother talk of her years at the
Christian college and her enjoyment there. She boasted of the
many "extras" above the
academic realm that one can enjoy
at a Christian institution. After
visiting Harding, I began to see it
for myself. When on the campus
at Spring Sing and Youth Forum,
I co uld see that there was
so mething here much more
valuable that I could imagine at a
state school or at a non-Christian
private school. Harding had an
environment of Christian friends
and faculty .
When I read Harding's motto,
"Education for Eternity," it
dawned on me that my studies
here would not only prepare me
for life on earth, but could
stregthen my quest for heaven.
Even more, I realized that my
friends at Harding would last not
only through this life. but we
would be together in heaven.
Immediately, I wanted to be a
part of such a wonderful place. I
wanted to be swept into the current of friendliness and love that
radiates from the student body. I
wanted to study under the guidance of Christian teachers. I
wanted to date Christians, and 1 .
wanted to live with Christians in a
healthy, supportive, atmosphere
rather than the non-Christian,
·destructive atmosphere that some
other sc hools offered. In short, I
realized that Harding could offer
me a valuable, well-rounded
education.
I consider it an honor and a
blessing to be here. Academic
standards are high, the faculty
really cares for us, friendships are
eternal and the atmosphere is conducive to almost unlimited spiritual growth. I wholeheartedly
agree with Dr. Carr's proverbial
statement, "It's great to be at
Harding! "

Who cares? Well, perhaps no

breakfasts, noon luncheons, and
A. V. supper parties.
Sue Moore is the sane member
of our happy trio. She specializes
in mimeo work and refers to
herself as "the enforcer." This is
rather difficult to believe can-
sidering her thin frame which, by
the way, causes jealously problems among the three. Add to
that the fact that our enforcer cannot even force her son, Michael,
when he visits the media center
and quickly establishes himself as
king of the castle, to vacate the
premises. She too loves her media
work , as she puts it, "because of
all the fun."
Last and least is Mona
Shackelford . Perhaps her personality is best described by her
maiden name; Scroggins. Her major difficulty at work is learning
the names of the other workers
who come in before noon.
She had the best explanation of
the quality work required by the
astute woman of the media: "It's
all in the know-how. I receive all
of the phone calls from the impor·
tant people wanting equipment. I
copy teachers' test. In fact, I just
recently threw one away. I also
laminate or melt students' copy
work. Overall, this job helps me
complete my mission in life - to
fulfill teachers' longings as far as
A. V. equipment goes.
The beautiful aspect of these
ladies and their work stems from
their strong feelings for one
another. When asked for adjec·
tives to describe each other, they
spouted such words as "pudgy,"
"scum," "skinny," and
"mouthy." One emotionally added, "If one of us were killed, we
would all die."
It's touching and it's true. Here
exist three women not caught in
the midst of a big·time operation,
not egotistical from their high
position on Harding's campus,
and not intellectually improved
from their work with one another.
But without them, the Media Cen·
ter wouldn't be the same, and life
would be just a little more boring.

If you asked a typical Harding
co-ed how she felt about mail, her
reaction probably would have
been like that of freshman Mary
Clark's: "Do you mean m-a-l-e or
m-a-i-l?" Although these homophones represented two very different subjects, it seemed that to
many female students they were at
least interrelated since mail constituted a vital link to males.
"It's great to get mail from
guys, even if they're just good
friends. It's nice to know that they
think enough of you to take their
time and send you a special note
or something," said one co-ed.
Inversely, campus mail was also
useful for communication from
the campus females to the campus
males. " It's easy to just go up and
tell girls what yOll think. It's not
as easy to tell guys if you appreciate them," she continued, "it 's
more special, 1 guess."
While girls openly thrilled over
getting mail from guys, the
masculine personalities played it
more low-key: "it's just like a little surprise or something, " commented Steve Allen about getting
mail from the girlfriend, Sharon.
But, campus mail did not replace the excitement of receiving
letters from home, particularly if
the delivery included money.

It was debatable, however,
whether handbills, flyers, and
"junk mail" were preferrable to
no mail at all. To many students
the " filler" mail was not only
disappointing, but aggravating.
Few students bothered to peer
beyond their 4x5 inch boxes to see
what happened in the mail room
beyond, however. One student,
having checked her box for the
third time in one morning was
heard to say, "Boy, they're taking
their sweet time today. " Such
demands seemed reminiscent of
the herculean expectations placed
upon pony express riders in the
In spite of complaints from impatient students, however, Dale
Gould, manager of the campus
mailroom and student center said,
HI think we ordinarily do a good
job (of getting the mail up)." The
delivery of first class mail, including those precious letters from
home, was included in the morning mail and was in the students'
boxes by 10:30 or 11 :00.
There were days when the mailroom was flooded, however, and
the notes slid through the slit for
campus mail faster than the
workers could put them in the
respective boxes. Rush seasons included pledge week, Halloween,
and Valentine's Day, but the biggest season of all was Christmas,
according to Gould.
Related to the giving and sending of mail was the post office,
just down tlie hall from the
mailroom. Run by Postmistress
Lucille Bohannon, the Office conducted all the business of a regular
post office, including stamps in
every denomination, money
orders, registers, certifieds, and
parcels. But selling stamps, said
Mrs. Bohannon, is what she did
most at the window. Once a
month she ordered enough stamps
for six weeks, which. at Harding,
was about SlO,OOO worth of
stamps.
While there seemed to be a lot
of money tied up in the mail
business, the expense was not half
as bad as the pony express days.
when delivery of letters was $5 per
half-ounce.
Even in more recent history,
however, Harding students have
been known to conserve. "Why
waste paper?" thought one Harding female, who wrote part of a
letter to her boyfriend on a
napkin. She was actually protesting his typically masucline
habit of using any syntax, any
chicken scratch, and any writing
utensil available at the time to
write her . Nevertheless, her
napkin note was received with
happiness - anything was wel-
come, it seemed. to avoid the
dreaded reality of "air mail."

The first year:
A year of discoveries
Not only at Harding, but aU
across America the word
"freshman" carried with it a central thought. The "freshman
idea" was described by one firstyear student as "a second
childhood." Another more intellectual type said, "it's a most
tempestuous year." To a few upperclassmen, freshmen were just
"gullible," "giggly," "the new
crop," or a host of other things.
Battling against the usual
stereotypes, Harding's freshman
class attempted to adjust to campus life quickly. Learning faces,
class schedule s and proper
buildings to enter was enough to
confuse anyone, but the freshmen
dedicated themselves to their big
task in order to fit in to college activities as soon as possible.
Reflections on their first year at
Harding found different responses from the st udents. Some
claimed the University was more

than they could have ever ex~
pected. Others had come to a
more reali stic view of the school
after bringing delusions of "a
heaven on earth" to their first few
days on campus.
The happy group of freshmen
constituted the majority. Ellen
Reid, a first-year student from
Houston, said, "This year was
very exciting. Freshmen seem to
get a lot of attention. I've grown
so much closer to the people here
because they're Christians. I am
not worrying too much about my
classes; I just keep telling myself
that I've got three more years."
The immense difference from
high school to college was also
stressed by the class. Jeff "Alfred
Lord" Tennyson from Valley
Springs, Ark., commented,
"Developing study habits was the
hard part, since I didn't really
have to in high school. You have
to balance your time better be-
cause of that. Your friends also
seem betler, since they've got so
many similar interests."
Perhaps closer than the other
classes on campus because of
bonds built through pledge week
and the dormitories, the freshmen
as a class participated in many
projects. Their Homecoming
float, "Dream Weaver," ~"n
first place, and the freshmen officers worked in connection with
the other three classes to develop a
dating service on campus.
The many heartaches of a person's first year were eventually to
help most freshmen develop
character. Even though crammed
three to a room with little closet
space, hot water or telephone
usage avai lab le , the college pus a much needed boost.
One can only hope that the
freshmen came smiling through.
newness,
humility and enthusiasm
At times covered with mud, insults and books, new experiences will never wear off. For the
for them all, their spirits of freshmen of today are the seniors
of tomorrow_

The music man
Whether you call him Bill. Dr.
Holloway, DRWWH, or just
plain ole "Doc," Dr. William
Wood Holloway is a unique man
who contributes to Harding University in many ways.
Holloway, a North Little Rock
native who has been at Harding
for 15 years, mainly works within
the University's music department. He teaches piano lessons as
well as classes in music theory and
orchestration. Along with these
duties, Holloway has completed
approximately eight band compositions and five choral arrangeGlenn Carr - Bolivar, MO

ments. In addition, Holloway
composed the patriotic piece,
"An American Creed," for the
dedication of the new Benson
Auditorium.
Obviously, Holloway's interests, as well as expertise, are in
music. He enjoys most what the
general public would call classical
music. After finishing his doctorate work at North Texas State,
which he calls one of the highlights of his life, the talented pro~
fessor came to Harding to teach
his specialty, the piano. He exhibits a tremendous skill on this in-
strument by playing a single nursery rhyme a number of ways and
improvising three randomly selected notes into a song spontaneously.
Holloway also mentioned another interest of his~ the TNT social
club. Since 1970, he has served as
sponsor for this group. "Doc"
stated that this has allowed him a
great opportunity to meet a larger
segment of the college students.
For the past six years, he has even
housed one or two club members.
"I think just about everyone
who knows Doc would say that he
is the best sponsor around. He
gives us a lot of maturity and
guidance. He's just a really good
man that
respect highly,"
commented Gary McClanahan, a
TNT officer, in speaking of
Holloway.
Finally the musician summed
up .. is involvement with the University by saying, "I have really
enjoyed my work here at Harding,
especially with the young people. I
like the small town atmosphere of
Searcy. If I had it all to do over
again, I would do it the same
way."

New wave dating
"If you feel funny. things.-just
work out better." At least that's
the philosophy of Harding's
creative dater, Hal West.
Hal is a 22-year-old senior from
Nashville, Tenn., and if you've
ever received a lemon in your mail
box with a note attached that
reads, "This is your first lemon,
you'11 get another one on Salurday night," then you're probably
the next participant in Hal's
dating extravaganza.
He likes to call it "New Wave
Dating." It originates from his
"Steve Martin sense of humor,"
and the desire to use his creativity.
Hal extends his philosophy of "if
TRENDSETTERS Jay Justus and
Hal West display their creative
costumes with their dates Kerri
Haugland and Sally Florence.
you feel funny. things just work
out better." and concludes that
on ·dates, "If you dress up funny,
nothing can go wrong."
(That theory could have been
questioned when, on one of his
dates, Hal was hit in the forehead
with a coconut and received stitches at the White County Hospital
emergency room .. . arrayed in
red leotards, blue shorts, a superman cape, and furry shoes. Nevertheless, his theory remained unshaken and the stitches are chalked up as the biggest surprise amid
a night of surprises.)
The attire, however, is of prime
importance and requires particular planning. Hal may show
up for his date in a superman outfit. Or a Japanese kimono - Hal
has an outfit for every occasion.
How do his dates react? Some
laugh, some are embarrassed, but
"everybody likes to take
pictures." He likes to get to know
his dates and doesn ' t try "to be a
Romeo or anything like that. "
Still,' Hal's main motivation remains: "If you can laugh at
yourself you'll go far in life."
There is a serious side to Hal's
personality as well. An accounting
major and a member of the Business Team 1 he will likely hold a
job in a prestigious firm when he
graduates. But will his dating style
continue?
"I've joked with a lot of friends
and said the accounting profession just isn't ready for Hal West
yet, but they'll jU3t have to
adjust," says Hal. Most people
tend to agree.
During the day, he plans to be
the typical business man, but
when night falls . . . beware of
Harding 's own fly-by-night, Hal
West.

"The game of the mind"
A new game was added to Harding's roster of intercollegiate
competition this year. Played by a
four-member team, the game demands skill, speed and versatility
from each competitor. Yet the
players need not be athletes,
rather scholars: The game is College Bowl, "the game of the
mind."
Harding's all-star team was
selected through a doubleelimination intramural quiz tournament which involved more than
100 students on 27 teams. The
competition climaxed as two
finalist teams, "AGO" and
208
Freshmen
"IQ-2," met in a championship
match during the chapel period
Dec. II.
Composing the winning team
were Jeff McKinzie, a senior
Biology major from Chester, Va.;
Joel Ragland, a junior music
education major from Cookeville,
Tenn.; Eugene Smith, a senior
chemistry and math major from
Dallas and Greg York, a senior Bible major from Louisville, Ky.
The four became the core varsity
players.
Rounding out the varsity team
were Rick Foster. a senior English
major from Memphis; Philip
Gould, a senior history and speech
major from Searcy; Wade Huffman, a freshman science major
from Fayetteville, Ark., and Jon
Sherrod, a senior biology major
from Belle Mead. N.J., who were
selected on the basis of their individual speed and accuracy in
answering questions during the intramural tournament.
Faculty sponsors for the team
were Dr. Fred Jewell of the
history department and Dr. Larry
Long and Dr. Dennis Organ, both
of the English department.
Harding competed in a Region
12 meet at Texas A & M in
February. challenging" 15 other
colleges and universities from
Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana.
"More than anything else," Dr.
Long stated, "the competition is a
lot of fun; but the further the
team goes, the more it becomes an
honor for the contestants and for
the school."
Fifteen U.S. regions compete in
College Bowl quiz competition.
Matches are organized and partially funded by the Association of
College Unions-International.
Questions for the game ·are researched by the Reader's Digest
editorial staff. Regional winners
compete annually for national
honors and $25,000 in awards.

A pet's name usually reflects its

By the time he entered school,
Boo used no other name. He used

The biggest adjustment for

student put it less delicately, "You

You don't see that in many big city papers.
Another issue that drew front
page coverage from the paper was
the blood drive. Most of the front
page blood in Metropolis, USA
was on the ground flowing out of
open wounds.
There are financial squeezes in a
small town to which city people
must adjust. Leo from Chicago
noted, "For this being the land of

another kick to the wallet. "Prices
are basically higher because
there's not enough competition."
•• If you have a girlfriend, you

senior art major added.
One student reported that prejudice seemed to thrive in a small
town atmosphere. "I was told it
would be difficult for me to get a
job at a local restaurant because
the manager was prejudiced. "
Mabry chipped in, "When I'm
cruising on my Yamaha 650, some
conservative type people seem to
think I'm from Hell's Angels."
But Joe seemed to speak for
most of the slickers when asked if
he would return to Searcy if he

Greased lightening
In a world where all the
obstacles are 42 inches high, it
takes a lot of confidence to get
through the day.
Dwayne Allen, a fresh man
from Harrisburg, Penn .• has got
that confidence.
"I prefer to go to the '84 Olympics in the hurdles," Allen is saying ... I run the dash es, from the
100 to the 400, but basically, I'm a
high hurdler."
Allen came to Harding and in
his first four or five meets - he's
not sure just how many they've
had - he's won all the hurdle
events he's entered.
In January. Allen represented
Harding at the Track and Field of
America meet in Kansas City.
Allen placed third in the 60-yard
hurdles with a time of 7.37
seconds. He was the only A merican to place in the international
field.
"Yeah, well in Kansas City I
ran against a few Olympians and
they got me by experience," Allen
says. "I ran a decent race. I felt I
should have run better. But the
best is yet to come. I learned a few
things. You do learn things in
first-rate competition."
Another outing against an international field at the Mason-Dixon
games in Louisville was not so inspiring.
"I crashed at the third hurdle,"

Second Semester Students
Allen says. "That was it. But I'll
remember that~ I learn something
from each race." ·
The 7 .37-second time at Kansas
City was electronic; it convinced a
lot of people that Allen is serious
about '84.
"Coach (Ted) Lloyd and coach
(Clift) Sharp ... we sat down and
talked about the Texas Relays, the
Kansas Relays, the Penn Relays,"
Allen says.
"Well, the time's all right, but
I've got to be able to run with the
world record holder. That's
Renoldo Skeets Nehemiah. Yeah.
He does it in 6.89.
"And it's I3 flat in the 110.
That's the one I'm interested in. I
feel my race is outdoors."
That's the one for ' 84.
"It's just not the same here in
college," Allen is saying. "I'm an
undecided major. I'm just trying
to keep my grades up between all
this traveling. It gets rough .
Believe me. It gets rough."
Allen has spent the last two and
a half years training - "straight
through" - as he puts it. "You
don't have time for no two month
vacations," he says.
"In high school, you had to be
out there. The team needed you.
In college, it's more me now. Individual running. You have to
take responsibility for yourself.
You have to know what you want
to do."
Allen began to get exposure in
his junior year in high school. As
a senior, he was second in the nation in the 6O-yard hurdles, fourth
in the I lO's outdoors.
"It got me a couple of AllAmericans, " Allen says. "I ran
some pretty good times .... "
It also got Allen "about
ninety" scholarship offers. He
remembers being recruited by
Kansas, LSU, Tennessee, and
Minnesota.
"It was July, and I knew it was
late," Allen says. "I'm a Christian, and I thought, 'With the
goals I want to achieve, I ought to
go to a Christian school.' "
The decision pleased his parents; it also left him a long way
from home.
"Dad had a lot to do with my
taking up track," Allen says. "He
would coach us, but he would
never force us. He was just behind
us one hundred percent.
.. And my Mom, you just look
at her and you know she's behind
you a hundred percent.
"My father was the coordinator
of my race. He would review every
hurdle even though he never saw
me race. From start to finish, he'd
ask me about it and tell me what I
did wrong.
"I was the defending state
champion in the 110's my senior
year. I won it my junior year. My
Dad had to go to the hospital and ,
when I went to see him, he told
me, 'The only way you'll lose it, is
if you false-start. '
"Yeah. I false-started. I just
didn't remember ... "
Allen has been in college long
enough for the competition in the
AIC to know who he is. But he
isn't worried that other AlC
hurdlers have a job to do - to
beat Dwayne Allen.
"I ran the same way against
world-class," Allen says. "I never
under-rate anybody. I take nobody for granted."
And the pressure?
"Over the last year, I've learned
to channel my emotions. You definitely can peak too soon.
"I know I can' t win 'em all. My
best could win it every time 1 run.
But I can't say it will happen.
There are other men on the track
and what they do I can't control. I
just don't take it as pressure. The
Lord ain't gonna let me run no
faster than I'm able, that's for
sure."
Allen is too concerned with developing his own race to worry
about the competition.
"I've got to be strong on top,"
he says, commenting on the
weight training he hopes will give
him more arm drive into the hurdles. "This fall, I just plan on sitting down and working it all out.
To get my whole body in shape.
I've never had a chance to do that
before."
Allen considers himself a
"technique runner" and has been
working on his "raw" speed.
"I've be.en running hundreds

Allen thinks it over. "Sacrifice

"That's what it takes."
And confidence i.n your race and in yourself. Just enough to get

Second Semester Students . - ---[
Through the years, key Petit
Jean personnel have been selected
from almost every field of study.
As might be expected, these
former staffers are now scattered
- through the science department, the language department,
the history department, the
Business School, even the administrative offices at Harding
University,
Dr. David Burks, dean of the
School of Business, might seem an
unlikely candidate for head
photographer of the yearbook,
but that he was, for both the '63
and '64 volumes.
" I had worked my way through
high school helping a professional
photographer, " Burks explained,
"and taking pictures for the Petit
Jean helped me to work my way
through college." He earned a
year of experience as assistant
photographer before serving as
head of the photography staff
during his sophomore and junior
years. His work on the book made
him feel that he was contributing
to his school.
"Through my close work with
the other staff members and with
Dr. Joe, " he added, "my attitude
toward Christian education was
strengthened. It was part of a total
experience at Harding which made
me want to come back when the
invitation was given."
Mike James had much less experience when he tried out for the
photographer's position in 1970.
" I'd only been taking pictures for
a year," he said . " It was just a
hobby when I was in the Army."
Dr. Joe announced the need for a
photographer, so the freshman
math major tried out and got the
job.
" I didn't know anything when I
started, but I've learned a lot since
then!" He served as head shutterbug from 1970-73, and later stepped very naturally into a position
as photographer for the Harding
publicity office.
Unlike Burks, who seldom
takes pictures now, James has his
own studio. He is director of
photography for the University,
and two years ago he began
teaching the photography courses
in the journalism curriculum.
Not only photographers, but
also business managers have come
from the Petit Jean office to their
own Harding offices.
"I don't know how I got the
job ," said Dr. Jack Wood Sears,
chairman of the biology department. With no more background
than a few ad sales, he took the
position of business manager of
the 1940 book. The senior
chemistry and biology major
scientifically went about developing "a budget we could live with"
and effected some of the best
photo and printing contracts the
Petit Jean has ever had.
" At least it made me appreciate
what others go through in that line
of work," Sears said, not eager to
attempt the task again.
Another department chairman,
Winfred Wright (modern foreign
languages), did get some training
before he served as business manager for the '56 book. He began
working on the business staff as a
sophomore and served as assistant
business manager his junior year.
"The job made me a liaison between the school and the city,
when we were selling and collecting for ads," he said. The task
was not a natural complement to
his Bible and Biblical languages
major, nor was it an asset when he
taught social studies at Crowley's
Ridge - not even when he was
studying French and conducting
mission work in Belgium.
"But," he laughed, "I'm again
serving as liaison between the
school and the community, " referring to his work as director of
the Cooperative Education Program.
Only DavId Tucker felt qualified as business manager and returned to Harding in a related
field.
Having been sports editor of his
high school yearbook, Tucker was
interested in the Petit Jean, as well
as in receiving practical business
experience. Especially enjoyable,
he said, was the contact with Searcy businessmen .• 'That experience
looked good to prospective employers, too," he added. Tucker
joined the faculty this year as an
associate professor of economics.
Virgil Lawyer, associate professor of history, served as assistant editor of the book during the
time when yearbook activity was a
senior privilege. "I didn't have
any experience, " Lawyer said,
" And 1 did very little." The editor
of their 1946 volume was the
knowledgeable one, he said.
The editor of the 1943 book
would not have dared to say he
"did very little." Clifton L.
Ganus Jr. , now president of the
University, was involved in nearly
every activity available, including
all sports, band and choir. He
served in class and club offices
and edited sports for the Bison. "I
guess I did about everything there
was to do," Ganus admitted ,
humbly suggesting that he was trying to fill vacancies created by the
war.
"Those were rough times. We
had to make do with what we had.
In some instances," he recalled,
"we could allow only one picture
per group ."
"It was a good experience,
though, frustrating as it was."
Unchallenged, Dr. Joseph E.
Pryor, known to his students as
"Dr. Joe, " holds the longevity
record for involvement with the.
Petit Jean .
Because his parents considered
him too young to travel with the
basketball team, Dr. Joe sought
activity on campus. He found the
Bison, which he edited for two
years'; working alongside the Petit
Jean staff in the student publications office. At times, he was able
to sneak in on some of the seniors'
yearbook work. In his own senior
year, in 1937, he gave up the Bison
to edit the Petit Jean.
Eigth years later, Dr. Joe
became yearbook sponsor. He has
worked closely with the yearbook
staff for 36 years and has supervised the production of 22 AllAmerican books, the last 21 being
consecutive.
In the past, other former yearbook workers have joined the
faculty or staff at Harding.
Perhaps the Petit Jean office encourages a special closeness to the
workers' alma mater.
Says Editor Melanie McMillen,
"I'd love to work at Harding. I
like the atmosphere, I like the people and r like their attitude about
what they're doing."
Because she has a degree is
psychology and an interest in law,
she doesn't anticipate an offer to
return to Harding in the near
future. But judging by her versatile predecessors, who knows?
Professor McMillen may one day
teach math at Harding.

some time as the College church
youth minister. Now Henderson is
again enrolled at Harding as a
graduate student in the English
Department. He also works as an
assistant in the writing lab and as
Sub T-16 sponsor.
In speaking of his time here,
Henderson said, "My years in
Searcy have been extremely beneficial. As far as real mission for
my life and understanding my
purpose, they have both been
found while here. The best friendships 9f my life are also a result of
being in Searcy."
Henderson mentioned the biggest highlights of his 10 years in
Searcy as meeting his wife, working at Wyldewood, and watching
his child, Andrew, come into the

Henderson's long stay in Searcy
may be coming to an end. His
plans call for either advanced
graduate study on a doctorate or a
return to teaching. Whatever his
future may hold , however,
Henderson can look back to many
good years in a town he has grown
to love.
