"Good night" my body said to my mind. "Good night" the tired
muscles and bones repeated more severely. Honestly my mind is
dumb my wide eyes saw. It's not cognizantof the fact that bedtime is
finally here. Insomnia Is a miserable condition.
One two. . . My those are nice sheep parading before me. . . three
four Doesn't that little lamb know he's straying too far from the
fold? The shepherd will find him.
Look there's a naked sheep bleating after his shearing. Now I feel
guilty about my wool winter wardrobe. My coat didn't have to be dry-
cleaned when the sheep still owned it. That Blind Sheep Is so vain it's
fortunate he doesn't know he looks pathetic to eyes that see. Oddly
he sees the blemishes of others In the fold but not his own.
There's old Black Sheep trying to find his place in the pasture. The
flock won't have anything to do with him because he got lost once and
came home dreadfully dirty. They don't realize that the shepherd
himself has completely forgotten about the incident. For a gregarious
' group of animals who need each other those sheep are rather choosy
about what sort of lambs are accepted In the flock.
Across the meadow is Ms. Chic Sheep. She has Blind Sheep fooled
about her intentions because she's so smooth and Innocent on the ex-
terior. But the shepherd sees she's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Listen to Theo Logical Sheep who thinks he has all the answers.
What T.L doesn't know Is that he's not even asking the right ques-
tions. Once when he was arguing across the fence with Lee Gallstic
Sheep there was a tragedy nearby. They were debating about-whether
lambs should wash in the rain's showers or wait for theprlnkles to
form a puddle and then be dunked for a bath. A straying woolly
creature stumbled Into an accumulated rain puddle bleated to no
avail and drowned unnoticed Immersed in bubbles of "baah" as the
quarrel Intensified.
The only truly unselfish one among them is Sacrificial Lamb. He
serves them. Even so he's misunderstood and-ostracized by the
others. The flock is plotting secretly to kil! him outside the pasture.
The shepherd could prevent them from doing It but he won't; he'll let
them decide by free choice. Long after Lamb has left the flock he will
be remembered. Some formerly cruel hearts will change and become
humble but their servitude will really be an exercise of freedom.
Those servants will be elevated to the same glory the
shepherd's family enjoys. It's a paradox but sheep never understand
the shepherd's ways.
"Good morning" my alarm clock sounded. "You're kidding" my
senses replied. "Flockling you must go feed In the meadow. Then you
will be ready to serve the flock. Do something different Lambkin. This
week pour put your heart in ah allegory for art's sake"

'Jack-of-all-trades' is
Dean of Music School
ByRITAGEYER
Special Features Writer
One could probably say Dr. T.W.
"Jack" Dean dean of the HSU
School of Music Is a Jack-of-all
trades with a wide variety of In-
terests ranging from farming and
ranching to airplanes and music
his chosen profession.
Dean doesn't choose to call his
diversity of interests merely hob-
bies however. "I don't really have
a hobby" he said. "I Just enjoy
many different areas. I enjoy
hunting and fishing."
Dean an very articulate in-
dividual has spent much of his life
in the out-of-doors growing up on a
farm In Tennessee where he
helped his father manage the
family business.
According to Dean his father
served as a county official who
spent 16 years in public service.
Dean therefore spent much of his
time in the courthouse along with
his father. "I think Dad thought I
would be a lawyer or a politician"
Dean stated thoughtfully. "He
might have been disappointed."
Dean and his wife currently live
on a 72-acre farm where they have
lived for nine-and-a-half years so
one might assume the outdoors
life has lingered with him through
the years.
"I grew up on a farm with dairy
cattle" Dean said. "I love to fool
with animals. Animals are very
sensitive to conversation and learn
the meanings of specific com-
mands. They know about you and
your attitude toward them."
During his life on the Tennessee
farm Dean developed another
loveairplanes. According to
Dean his first sight of an airplane
was after World War I when a "Jen-
ny" flew over his farm.
"I've been hooked ever since"
he said. During a four-year stint In
World War II he even taught
navigation to naval pilots.
Dean says he loves anything
mechanical and says he Is an avid
reader of scientific magazines. He
also admits to enjoying history and
news magazines.
Music however is the skill for
which he Is most known at HSU
having been on the faculty for 14
years along with being an HSU
alumnus.
According to Dean his interest
In music began when he was a boy
yet much of his learning at this
time was prohibited by the lack of
funding for music programs. Dean
said that school band programs
didn't begin until the 1920s and
this was due largely to the fact that
football became a popular sport.
Choirs he said developed in the
1930s and full-time church must-
