Perhaps this old adage applies to a boss / secretary relationship, too. It does if you are considering President Ganus and his secretary Miss Edwina Pace. Miss Pace has been Dr. Ganus' secretary for 30 years. "I had a good friend who asked me if I wanted a job with Harding College . I replied , 'Harding who?' " she said with a smile. "You see," she continued , "I was not raised in the church. For three years I worked for the Columbia county Welfare Department as secre tary and stenographer. My employer was a member, and she and one of my co-workers taught me about the Bible and got my job here. " Miss Pace became Dr. Ganus' secretary when he returned from getting hi s degree as an administrator. At that time he was made vice-president and head of the American Stud ies program. As far as her secretarial work goes, Miss Pace is adept in the arts of typing, filing, answering the phone , composing letters , and a number of other essential clerical skills. She has quite a few speCia l responsibilities, too. One major role she fills is that o f program organizer for chapel. It is her job to inform the Student Personne l office what the chapel program is for each day. Beginning her work at 8:30 every morning, Miss Pace immediately checks in with Student Personnel and finishes correspondence remaining from the previous work day. Dr. Ganus daily compiles a list of her duties and tasks he needs for her to carry out. When Dr . Ganus must be away from the campus, Miss Pace's 166 Sophomores largest responsibi li ty is to see that everything runs smoothly . She even misses him when he is gone. "It is so quiet here, " she said. "People seem to know when he is not here , so they don't come." After 30 years of serving the president in th is capacity, Miss Pace has onl y good things to say abou t Ganus. "He is the most even-tempered person I've met. He has excell ent self-control." she remarked. "He is also extremely fair-minded. " Miss Pace was. of the first people to receive the Distinguished Staff Award at Harding. Her extreme efficiency and organization won her the tit le. "I love my job," she said warmly. " I like working with people. 1 can' t think of any place else I'd rather be. " _ Lisa Pigg 1.
