F. LEMUEL ANDERSON
During thirty-six years of teaching in Ball State University's School
of Music, you distinguished yourself as an advocate of excellence in
choral music and as an outstanding vocal pedagogue. Your loyalty
and dedication to the betterment of the university, your leadership in
administration as well as education, your part in the development of
curriculum to meet the ever-changing needs of our music students,
and your continuous activity in recruitment are recognized by your
colleagues and will continue to influence those who follow.
ELENA IMAZ BOURGEOT
Your students agree that you will not stand for anything less than
perfection. Your dedication and devotion to your art have been an inspiration to the talented ballet students you taught during your eleven years at Ball State University. Through your choreography, direction, costuming, and production, the Ball State Ballet Company presented many performances, and each dancer had the opportunity to
experience professionalism under your .guidance. The standards you
set in the Department of Applied Studies in Music during your teaching career will continue to be held in highest regard for years to come.
ROBERT L. CARMIN
Your nineteen years of exemplary and dedicated service as dean of the
College of Sciences and Humanities and professor of geography are
remembered by hundreds of faculty and students. In your quiet and
unselfish way you helped direct us from a teachers college to a major
university. Behind the scenes you cajoled and encouraged many to
become dedicated scholars and excellent teachers. You were unswerving in your commitment to excellence in the university and
your profession. Your patience, understanding, sincere concern,
quick wit and pleasant smile touched many of us. Your cigars have
been extinguished but we know your love of travel and zest for living
will bring you great joy in future years.
JULIA A. DENNY
You are a leader who encourages those working with you to grow, a
person who sets high expectations for yourself and your cohorts, and
you capably integrate the dual facets of teacher and nurse. In your fifteen years of service you helped hundreds of Ball State University
students replace the mystery and fear of mental illness with understanding and compassion, thus assisting those so afflicted to cope
with our world. You are an excellent teacher, able to catch and hold
student interest, and students appreciate this quality. We wish you
the happiest of retirements and the ambition and energy to accomplish all the tasks you say you will undertake.
GERALD E. DOEDEN
For twenty-five years you served faithfully as a dedicated teacher and
conscientious colleague in the Department of Chemistry at Ball State
University. You established our first instrumental analysis laboratory
and for a brief time were our only analytical chemist. You accepted
the heavy laboratory work load without complaint and obtained high
quality performances from your students. Many of our students who
have gone on to academic and industrial positions remember the attention to detail and accuracy that you instilled in them. Your students and colleagues are enriched by your efforts and by knowing
you.
ROBERT R. GORDON
Your twenty-two years of service to Ball State University and Burris
Laboratory School enriched your students and served as a model for
your colleagues. Your love of children and your devotion to their education continues as a standard of excellence for those who follow.
Every child in your care was of special importance to you. Through
your teaching and coaching you touched the lives of countless students and contributed to the development of many of the men and
women who are leaders in our community. You gave unselfishly of
your time and talents whenever and wherever they were needed. You
are greatly missed and we wish you weltin future years.
WENDELL L.GRUENEWALD
Throughout Dr. Wendell L. "Roy" Gruenewald's thirty-one years of
service to Ball State University colleagues and students alike benefited from his counsel and concern. His commitment was to
academic excellence and intellectual integrity. His legacy to the university is the creation of the Political Science Department. Under his
leadership the department developed a complete curriculum and initiated new programs emphasizing the practical side of politics. His
retirement in the summer of 1981 marked the culmination of an
academic career spanning several generations. His untimely death in
December 1981 denied his department a friend and colleague, this
university the counsel of an emeritus faculty member, and his students the understanding and patience of a scholar.
AMY K. HINKLE
We are grateful for your thirty-four years of dedicated service to Burris Laboratory School and Ball State University. During this time you
constantly made us aware of the many qualities found in the master
teacher. You had a great impact upon the lives of your students and
your colleagues. Your commitment to the education of the children
in your classes and to the college students you helped was an inspiration to us all. You always expressed a love for children and the deep
concern for each individual placed in your care was a mark of the
truly dedicated professional. We sincerely hope that your future years
will be filled with the joy and happiness you so richly deserve.
,.,
M. ELIZABETH W. HINSHAW
For the past twenty-five years Burris Laboratory School and Ball State
University have benefited from your untiring efforts. You were
highly respected by your colleagues and prized as a teacher by your
students. Your leadership and expertise in English, Latin, and drama
made you a most-valued member of our instructional team. Your
commitment to the training of future Indiana educators strengthened
the contribution we make in teacher education. You are a leader in
your department, the university, and the community. Your service to
the university and to various community organizations is well
documented and brings great credit to you. We are sorry to see you go
and we are much richer for having had you with us.
MARY ELIZABETH JOHNSON
For the past thirty-three years you have played an integral role in the
operation of Burris Laboratory School and Ball State University. Your
dedication to teacher education and to the education of children
marks you as a truly professional teacher. The students you influenced are countless. It would be impossible to list the many ways in
which you have served the university during your tenure. You have
been an able teacher, Burns historian, and the architect of a strong
and viable instructional materials 'center. You will be greatly missed
and we wish you well in retirement.
GERTRUDE KANE
Gentle guardian of the point, pica, and participial phrase, you demonstrated how devotion and talent and hard work could produce
superior publications that reached out to every public of Ball State
University, from prospective students to fifty-year graduates. For
twenty-one years you were planner, editor, writer, counselor, friend,
and manager, all the while serving as the thrifty protector of the
funds allocated for publications. You served this campus with distinction, as you did the Council for Advancement and Support of
Education, and we salute you as you now shape your own designs for
the future.
CATHERINE LOUGH
Pedagogue, accompanist, and solo pianist, you have earned the esteem of your colleagues. During your thirty-nine years of service your
excellent teaching resulted in successful careers for many of your students. Your high standards in accompanying, solo performances, and
piano duos have set an example for both faculty and students. As one
of the School of Music's most dedicated instructors, you will always
be remembered and respected.
LORENA P. McCONNELL
Your love for students, for parents, and for babies was the key to your
success in teaching and practicing nursing. As coordinator of the
Maternal-Child Nursing Area of the nursing curriculum for many
years, you helped young faculty members develop teaching and clinical expertise. Students love and respect you and they learn not just
theory, but to feel and care for their clients. Hundreds of young parents were prepared for the birth of their babies in your Expectant Parent classes. After serving Ball State University for sixteen years you
will continue to be a provider of many services as a volunteer. We are
richer for having known you and wish you a long and happy
retirement.
CARMEN S. MORESCHINI
Your twenty-four years of service to Ball State University's Burns
Laboratory School were characterized by a high level of professionalism and dedication to education. Your leadership in the development of instructional programs and your concern for providing
students with a quality education established precedents which will
be difficult to equal. You had a positive impact upon the quality of
teachers of physical education throughout Indiana. You represented
the university in an exemplary manne•-at local, state, and national
levels, and brought credit and honor to Burris and Ball State. Your
contributions and your expertise will be truly missed.
ELLEN NICHOLSON
In thirty-eight years of devoted service to Ball State University you
supervised the planning, preparation, and serving of more than 150
million meals. You committed your energy to the selection, training,
and upgrading of dining service staff and you helped students increase
their awareness about proper nutrition as well as develop good eating
habits. The more than thirty residence halls which you helped to
plan as director of Residence Halls Dining Services stand as constant
reminders of your service here. The best wishes of students and staff
go with you as you enter a richly deserved new phase of life.
LILIAN PHILLIPS
Throughout your twenty-four years at Ball State University you gave
your best to music performance and academic studies. You were a
positive force in the development of harpists and harp teachers of professional caliber in Indiana. The quality of your performance as harpist and teacher sparked student and public interest in the harp as a
solo and ensemble instrument, and there has always been a colony of
top quality harp students in the School of Music. You contributed
greatly to the musical education of hundreds of elementary teachers
in Indiana. You will be missed and we wish you many years of happiness and health.
DONALD M. ROYER
You are a man of intense moral integrity, intellectual engagement,
and peace, an ever-vital human being for whom personal responsibility is highly prized. You have always combined keen analysis, solid
expertise, and moral commitment. This you do when talking with
Ball State University students about the ghettoes of the United States
of America or when writing about the relationships between Germans and their pitifully few remaining countrymen who are also
Jewish. This is good sociology and you are a good man. You leave us
after these twelve years but we hope you never completely retire
from the teaching profession.
ELEANOR G. SMITH
Respected colleague, your twenty-seven years at Ball State University
were marked by your patient devotion to children, your profound
love of teaching, your high degree of professionalism, and the dedication you brought to your classroom. Your knowledge and experience
contributed significantly to the development of an elementary
teacher education program of high quality. You had a positive influence on your students and your colleagues, and you brought a high
standard of excellence to the title, "Master Teacher." We hope your
future years will be as rewarding to you as your presence has been an
inspiration to us.
FORREST F. STEVENSON
You are a master of puns and dry wit, a creator of wild flower models
so accurate the bees are confused, a co-developer of biology museum
displays and co-author of programmed instruction in the plant sciences. Affectionately called the "Silver Streak" by your less-inhibited
Ball State University students, you are recognized as one who is devoted to students and to your discipline. Your devotion to botany and
students is exceeded only by your devotion to family—your wife
Willa and daughter Donna. Tireless putterer and home hobbyist, we
wish you well as you turn your attention to new horizons after these
twenty-seven years, perhaps warm winters in Florida or Hawaii, and
the free time to follow your many hobbies and interests.
MERLE T. STROM
The leadership you gave to educational administration during
twenty-seven years of service at Ball State University will long be remembered. Students in your classes profited from your excellence as
a teacher. Twenty years ago communities throughout the state profited from your willingness to pioneer the then-unknown area of
school district reorganization. All those touched by school corporations holding membership in the Indiana Public School Study Council benefited from your unstinting dedication to Study Council programs. We wish for you retirement years that will be as rewarding as
your working years at the university.
PARK A. WISEMAN
Your thirty-four years at Ball State University were marked by your
dedication to excellence in education. You became the first chairman
of the Department of Chemistry in 1965 and set the tone of quality
that we intend to continue. By 1969 you saw the department achieve
accreditation by the American Chemical Society, and you were a
prime mover in establishing a chapter of the Phi Society on our campus. Your dedication to quality teaching is remembered by generations of students, many of them local practitioners of dentistry and
medicine. Your students and colleagues are enriched by your
contributions.
N. NELL YOUNG
When you came into the office of John R. Emens on September 7,
1948, this institution was in the process of enrolling 3,015 students
on a nine-building campus. You sign out thirty-four years later after
serving as aide and friend to five presidents of Ball State University.
You played a major role as Ball State grew into a multi-purpose institution numbering 18,000 students.an a campus of fifty-five buildings. You, in a labor of love, worked with generations of faculty
members and became the expert on their contract details. You are a
legend, partly because of your devotion and services to emeriti, partly
because you are a one-member Humane Society—protector, nurse,
and friend to animals and birds—partly because you are an aficionada
of the dance, but mostly because you are Nell and we love you.
