"E!" Robin Pratt, a senior from Fort Smith, AR; John Folding, a freshman from Wesdake, LA, and Christy Cox, a freshman from Smyer, TX, goof off before getting their picture made. Pratt, Folding, and Cox were section editors on the Petit Jean last year. Many sleepless nights were put into completing the book. - photo by Bill Tripp. Petit Jean Petit Jean.

P-E-T-1-T J-E-A-N!! This year's staff worked as hard and as efficiently as usual. "Since it's my first year, I'm not sure what to think of all the work we've done without seeing any results. But when the book comes in I think it will be something I'm very proud of and protective of," said Christy Cox , a freshman from Smyer, TX. A sophomore from Apple Valley, MN, Jennifer Terry says, "Being on the Petit Jean staff has been both rewarding and demanding and I feel that I have gained practical experience and lasting friendships that make it all worthwhile." The editor, David Dearin , a senior from Ames, Iowa , frankly admitted , " I've learned a lot both about yearbook and life in general from editing the book. I really don't need knowledge about journalism but the firsthand experience I've gotten has taught me a lot about how to work with people. Since people are important, my experience on the staff is invaluable. Oh, by the way, I got a girlfriend out of it." The staff had quite a few turnovers over the course of the year and Bill Everett, a junior from Conroe, TX, said, "My roommate was in a tough spot and I wanted to help him out. A lot of David's staffers jumped ship and he took on a lot of the responsibility himself. Besides, I had nothing better to do." John Folding, the organizations editor who was originally asked to be index editor, said, "Being organizations editor has been most beneficial to me. I have met many people (both faculty and students) and made many friends. I'm almost sorry to see all this work come to an end , but then again .. .I need my sleep." Don Strader, who received the sports section (almost too late), said, "It was a great experience working on the staff and it has taught me the limits of myself." Keeping in touch was this year 's goal for the members of Phi Beta Lambda. "In Touch with the Business of America," the creed of Phi Beta Lambda was shown by Harding University's competition record. State and national leadership conferences and award programs achieved two purposes. They helped to promote worthwhile local chapter activities and helped to provide outlets for competitions based on the interests and talents of chapter members. These purposes were some of the activities for the 1987-1988 year for Phi Beta Lambda. According to Dr. D. P. Diffine, Phi Beta Lambda's faculty advisor, commendation should have been given to Christian business leaders. - Jim Hadley and John Folding Petit Jea11 11 g Phi Beta Lambda
