Compassion Characterizes Petit Jean Queen's Outlook "The relationships we form at Harding will far outlast any degree we might get at another college. We have so many opportunities to become better people and to help others, and that's what makes Harding different from any place else." So said lisa Casto, who was chosen by the student body to reign as Queen at dedication ceremonies for the 1985 Petit Jean in May . Lisa, a mathematics major .from Newport, Ohio, demonstrated her interest in helping others in several ways. She served as devotional director for her social club, Ju Go Ju, and as queen for their brother club , Galaxy. She participated in the Big Sister program, sharing time with a young child, and in "Project Compassion ," aqopting residents of a local nursing home and visiting them regularly. Evangelism was an important aspect of Lisa's outlook toward others. She traveled to Australia on International Campaigns while at Harding, and her future plans included work with the church overseas. Attending Lisa as members of the Petit Jean court were Chi Sigs nominee Fran Coon, from Destin, Florida, and TNT nominee Kay Smith from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Fran, a member of Regina social club, planned to study international law and spend her life in Italy as a vocational missionary . Kay was a special education major who hoped to someday use the classroom as a means of molding the lives of special children. She was a member of Shantih social club. Nineteen nominees, all chosen by the men's social clubs, were presented in chapel in early October. After a vote by the student body, the choice was narrowed to these three , and a second vote determined Lisa as the winner. ~ Attendant Fran Coon - photo by Wes Holland.
