EXPERIENCES TO

SERVE THE LORD.

oining the college faculty in 1970, Dr.

Jean Macfarlane has served in a variety

of capacities. However, education was

not her original occupation. Dr.

Macfarlane is a Registered Nurse.

When her family moved to Florida, she de­

cided to pursue a new goal—teaching. Doing

this meant starting over in her education. She

had to earn bachelor and graduate degrees in

English, and she finished with her Doctor of

Philosophy from the University of Florida. Dr.

Macfarlane was the chair of the division of

Arts and was a professor of English and Lit­

erature. Her favorite class was Chaucer be­

cause "he is one of the most interesting people

that I have met in literature."

Things have changed since Dr. Macfarlane

began. She taught all the English courses and

three education courses. In addition to those

responsibilities, she was also school nurse, di­

rector for school plays, and yearbook sponsor.

Even though she has seen many changes, Dr.

Macfarlane said that some things still stay the

same. "Our school really was founded by

God, and as long as we are true to Him, we are

fulfilling our mission."
