Senior class officers. Seniors Brad Gist, from Racine, WI, Lisa Rushing, from Miami, FL, Gary Ashley, from Bontia , CA, and Brent Abney, from Asheville, NC, serve their class by represnting them in the Student Association. The Student Association consisted of many different committees that were student run, such as the Movie Committee and the Food Services Committee. - photo by Bill Tripp. One senior's natural sadness S ue Cason was not an average Harding senior (if there is such a thing). The elementary education major was a single mother of two who managed to juggle the roles of parent and student responsibly. Sue was a native of England who came to the U.S. with her family 18 years ago. She came to Searcy as an LPN to work at a local hospital but decided to pursue a degree in elementary education at Harding. She was asked about the diferences she notices in being a senior compared to previous years. "I think I have more time as a senior. My first two years all I ever thought about was doing well in my classes. Now I'm more confident in that area." Her advice to underclassmen going through that struggle? "Don't let it overwhelm you. Take it one thing at a time. Think of what you need to do today - just like the Lord tells us. And remember you're not alone." Sue credited her faith and prayers as having helped her through many difficult classes and situations. Sue's faith went through some evolutionary st.ages during her st.ay at Harding. She was not a member of the church of Christ when she came to Searcy. "I was impressed by the unity of the people here." She will miss the daily opportunity to assemble with thousands of Christians in singing praises to God. Where else can you do that?" she said. Sue was baptized into Christ three months ago. After realizing the distinction between her sprinkling and immersion, she had a tremendous desire rather suddenly to be baptized" I realized that was one command I had not obeyed." Since she first came to Harding, Sue cherished the thought of going on an international campaign. Having a love for travel and desire to help others, she saw campaigns as a great opportunity. " If I didn't have two children I would definitely have gone on one." One of her goals after graduation was to teach children to read in a mission field, perhaps in an African country. "If someone doesn't learn to read they can never know the Bible," she points out. Although she felt the natural sadness that goes along with leaving a place, Sue was eager to get on with her life.
