C. E. Beard, psychology instructor at FSJC, will retire at
the end of the current semester
after over half a century of dedication to the teaching profession.
After many years in the Fort
Smith public school system as
teacher and principal in various
schools, Beard joined the staff of
the junior college in 1950.
Dean T. E. Fullerton, in an-
nouncing the retirement, said,
"Mr. Beard has been an outstanding educator in our community
for many years and has been an
inspiration to many students and
co-workers. We are deeply grateful for his faithful service at the
junior college and regret to see
him retire."
In this, the final issue of the
Collegian, recognition is taken of
Mr. Beard's many contributions to
FSJC in classroom work, gifts to
the library, and the friendly spirit
of helpfulness so typical of his
everyday conduct on campus.

Elizabeth Hightower
Named Recipient
Of Bollinger Award
E l i z a b e t h Hightower, FSJC
sophomore, was named winner of
the annual Bollinger Award at
the musical Spring Concert held
May 10 at junior college.
The award was established at

The award was presented to
Miss Hightower by a relative of
Mr. Bollinger.
Also presented at the concert
was the first annual Choir Key,
Both of these awards are given

Editorial
This issue of the Collegian is dedicated to C. E. Beard,
retiring after a life-time of devotion to the teaching profession.
Mr. Beard will be replaced as psychology instructor at
junior college, but his place on the faculty will be empty as
far as his spirit of dedication to duty, his friendly helpfulness and personal attention to individual students is concerned.
As he retires from active teaching, Mr. Beard will indeed leave a vacuum in the everyday life of the campus. But
perhaps it is the coming generations of students who will
miss out on the best—they will never know what it means
to sit in one of his classes.
We, the staff of the Collegian, hope that he will honor
the junior college from time to time with his presence on
campus, and not feel retirement means cutting the ties
with Fort Smith Junior College entirely.

Farewell FSJC.
This issue of the Collegian
marks the last publication for
this 1962 spring semester. The
'Coed Eye' would like, without
being too sentimental, to express
the hope that this column and this
paper have been useful and enjoyable to the readers.
The 'Coed Eye' has enjoyed
the opportunity to speak to all
the students through this media
and hopes that this column has
helped the students and teachers
get better acquainted.
The one advantage of the written word is that things can be
said that can't possibly happen.
Therefore, in this last issue, I
would like to give everyone gifts.
But without the proper funds it
will have to be only on paper
and in hopes.
To Dr. Vines, our able president, I donate a new station
wagon; Dean Fullerton, excellent
health; Miss Speakman, a marvelous trip in Europe; Coach Breedlove, another championship team;
Mr. Wilson, a new Cadillac and
twist records; Miss Beck, a Motorcycle; Dr. Butterfield, a needed
rest and a twin to do half her
work; Mr. Rockwell, permanent
exemption from the Air Force;
Mrs. Hastings, more foreign language students; Mrs. Pryor, a
northern accent; Mrs. Westfall, a
new frosting; Miss Woods, another
successful paper and the Sweepstakes; and to all the other faculty members, all the happiness
that life has to offer.

Lions Split Two-Game
Series With Connors JC
In a home and home series
against Connor's Junior College,
May 3rd and 4th, the Lion baseball nine split a pair of games.
The locals won the first tilt 1514 in a thrilling finish and dropped the second in Warner, 11-5.
Playing at Hunts Park in the
opening contest of the series, the
Lions nabbed the victory in the
bottom of the 13th inning on Pat
Martin's ground ball to second
which was thrown wild to first by
the Sooner second sacker and
which allowed Lefty Walkord to
score from second.
The Lions, trailing 13-6 going
into the last of the ninth, were
sparked to a tie by A1 Cosby's
three run homer and freshman
reserve Bill Walkord's pinch hit
single which scored two more
runs.
The wild extra-inning affair saw
the entire Lion squad get into
action before the winning run
finally crossed the plate.
In the losing effort away from
home, Cosby, Martin and Jim Jay
led the hitting attack for the
Lions with two hits each. Cosby

It was conceived of Scholarship and Patience and nurtured

It is handled and mishandled.
It is talked about, talked over,

By turn, it is a friend and
foe. It is taken to dinner and
kept up all night. It gets picked
up, patted and praised. It gets
discussed, cussed, and kicked
across the room.
It gets dog-eared and dogtired. It gets rained on and sat
on. It is thumbed through and
flipped through and flopped over.

derided, and disowned.
