L'Ami Yearbooks. 40. https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/yearbooks/40 This Book is brought to you for free and open access by the Archives and Museum at Digital Commons @ George Fox University. It has been accepted for inclusion in L'Ami Yearbooks by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ George Fox University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. We of the L'Ami staff are using this opportunity to honor an outstanding member of our faculty, Helen Willcuts. Miss Willcuts came to George Fox in 1945 with a B.S. degree from Kansas State College and an M.H.Ec. degree from Oregon State College. She is the head of the Home Economics Depart- ment, Dean of Women, Treasurer of the college, and former matron of Kanyon Hall. Miss Willcuts, you have given a decade of faithful service and support; your radiant personality, gen- uine interest in each student, and rare combination of wisdom and wit have endeared you to all our hearts. We therefore dedicate, to you, the 1955 L'Ami. 4 • • Unamimous Vote Elects College President; ? Ross to Assume Executive Office June 5 President Milo C Ross His Message Spring, 1955 . As I sit here in my office, the sights and sounds and smells of the present are mine. There is the bell for the next class. I feel the organ being played upon in the chapel. Daphne perfume comes in through my open window—accompanied by a lady-bug from the clinging ivy! Three Freshman girls under one umbrella run squeeling through a shower to the Music Hall. But the L'Ami is not all of the present. It is a tradition to be valued and preserved. It means that the past still lives in the present. For ever since the coming of writing, man has been taking the fleeting present and holding it as best he may until it becomes a part of eternity. When you pick up this book after many years, you will be able to hear the victory bell, the hymns in chapel, the creek running through the canyon. The roses will bloom again. The moon will come up over the black oaks back of the library. Learning, friend- ship, love, hope, ambition, truth, toil, and consecration will wander like free spirits in and out of these pages. And fires, long since kindled, will flare up and burn the more brightly in the soul. These are the real events which happen at George Fox College. They are too subtle for any printed page to tell, but the L'Ami will inspire a thousand recollections, inverting the hour-glass that youth may have its gracious repetitions. 4 DONALD McNICHOLS—DEAN In addition to his duties in teaching literature courses, Dean McNichols finds time to take an interest in each student. Also heading the administrative committee, he has this year worked very diligently on plans for accreditation. MARY C. SUTTON—REGISTRAR Heading the activities of registering the students in the fall and spring is one of several jobs allocated to Miss Sutton. Keeping permanent records of each student, "collecting" grades and transcribing them at the end of each 6 weeks, period, and teaching German help to complete her duties.

As the Seniors returned for their final year, they were met by the welcomes of old friends and parking privileges in front of the Ad- ministration Building.
