Devoting Time to Building Spirit Like most things in college, success doesn't come by luck in most cases. To develop a program aimed at benefitting everyone involved, much time must be spent creating new idea~ and perfecting skills which are already in use. When it comes to the job of sponsoring Harding's cheerleaders , this philosophy especially holds true. Mrs. Kathryn Campbell has spent many hours creating new ideas and perfecting the skills for Harding's cheerleaders. Finishing her fourteenth year as a sponsor, Mrs. Campbell has had an opportunity to see the results from her hours of work. Mrs . Campbell began her career at Harding as a student in 1950. In 1953, she left to marry Mr. Eddie Campbell, Harding's current Dean of Men . After two years in Florida , the couple returned to Searcy and graduated from Harding in 1959. During her years as a student, Mrs. Campbell was a member of the Woodson-Harding Comrades, Harding's first social club. She was also a member of the A Cappella Chorus , Alpha Chi Honor Society and she served as secretary for the student association. During the two years following graduation , Mrs. Campbell taught at Georgia Christian School. In 1965, the Campbell's returned to Searcy again and Mrs. Campbell taught at the public schools until 1970. This was the year she began her current career at Harding as a physical education instructor and cheerleading sponsor. Much of Mrs. Campbell's interest is in swimming. Occasionally she has some extra time to enjoy her favorite hobby and this is especially easy since her office is just a few steps away from the new gym pool. Mrs. Campbell also teaches lifesaving and water safety courses. She enjoys increasing her biblical knowledge by reading religious stories when time permits. Along with serving as a sponsor for Harding's cheerleaders, Mrs. Campbell also places much emphais on athletic and spiritual activities. Each day she is kept busy with all her activities. As the years go by, she will continue to reep the benefits of helping build support for Harding's athletic teams by instructing and encouraging the cheerleaders. - Susie Clark and Shelly Evans Cheerleaders 165
