ell Ledger. While a student at Lowell High School he wrote a weekly "Teen of the Week" column, and during summer va-cations from college he joined the Ledger's reporting staff. In 1962 he began writing "Stiff Lip." a column of personal ob-servations on the local scene.

He graduated from Lowell High in 1955 as co-salutatorian of his class. In 1959 he received his A.B. degree from Dart-mouth College in Hanover, N. H., and from there he went on to the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kan., where he did graduate work In English while teaching part time as a mem-ber of the university's English faculty.

Between 1961 and 1963 he was an Instructor in English and Creative Writing at Hamline Universitv. St. Paul. Minnesota. During this time he acted as adviser to the campus literary magazine and the college news-paper.

Last fall he enrolled In Colum-bia as a scholarship student. During his training he special ized In the field of critical writing ("I 've reviewed every grade Z movie In New York!") and wrote his master 's thesis on the sublect of communica-tions satellites.

"The year here has been pretty hectic—and exciting!" he said last week. "New York, of course, is one of the big news centers in the United States, and the faculty here made sure we were always in the thick of It."

Mr. Stiff said that during the year he was assigned to cover such people as President John-son. Governor Rockefeller and Mayor Robert Wagner as well as events like the World's Fair, U. N. meetings, and the New York reaction to the Kennedy assassination.

"For me. the LBJ assign-ment was the most Interesting." he said. "I didn't have any trouble getting past the police barricades around the Johnson hotel. I had a camera around my neck, and the Secret Ser-vicemen didn't bother to ask me for identification. They were too busy looking for potential snipers hanging out of windows a block and a half away. For all they knew. I could have been another Oswald.

"When LBJ finally came out of his hotel—practically at a dead run—ho passed within three feet of me, T was so close to him that I could have stab-bed him with a knitting needle If I had wanted to. But I was too busy struggling with my camera at the time—the damn flash wouldn't work. And just fighting my way through the mob of yelling photographers was a full-time occupation in itself. I managed to get my picture, though."

Mr. Stiff, who Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cary P. Stiff of Ada. has not yet decided how he will use his Sherwood scholar-ship. "Everything has happen-ed so fast." he said, "that I haven't had a chance yet to sit down to chart out a program."

A study of weekly newspapers like the Lowell ledger , he add-ed. "might be a possibility."

In the meantime he will join the staff of the Denver Post to gain "some much-needed ex-perience" in dally journalism.

Saved by a Lamb There Is an old but true story of a man who was traveling In Germany. He

went to see a ehorch in a ee rHn town. As he looked up at the tower, he saw

the earved figure of a lamb near the top. He asked why It had been placed In

this position and was told the following Incident;

One day when the church was belnR built, a workman fell from the high scaf-

fold about the tower. The men working with him saw him fall and were trans-

fixed with fear. They reached the ground as quickly as possible expecting to find

the body dashed to pieces. To their surprise, their companion was virtually unhurt.

A flock of sheep was being driven past the church at the moment of his H I . He

had fallen on one of the lambs. The Iamb was crushed to death, but the n n n was

saved.

The carved figure of a lamb was pliced on the tower not only to commemo-

rate the event but to remind all of the Son of God, who came into this world to

die as the Lamb of God in the place of every sinner who would receive Him. "He

was Hounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities" (Isaiah

53:5). —Author Unknown
