VIRGIL H. LAWYER's third year at Harding College has proven as equally challenging as the previous two in his positions of Dean of Students and Director of Admissions. The addition of Ken Dunn as field representative to the Dean's office has alleviated some of the need of his being away from the school so much during the year to can tact prospective students. Mr. Lawyer is well-known among students for his friendly smile, encouraging words, and daily chapel announcements to which he often adds a bit of humor. His kindly counsel is welcomed by students who need help with either academic or personal problems. Usually, when absent from the office, he will be found with his family or perhaps playing golf.
