The Year of the Griffin I Must Have Milked 1,000 Cows Lane Collins ’58 With a doctorate in business administration from the University of Southern California and two degrees from Baylor University, Lane Collins ’58 believes that The Church Farm School instilled a sense of worth and responsibility in him and his fellow students. He lived up to those lessons, first serving in the United States Air Force and later teaching accounting at Baylor University for more than 30 years. More than fifty years ago, a generous Lane and Kaye Collins at home in couple, friends of Colonel Shreiner, Waco, Texas the School’s first Headmaster, brought Lane from his East Falls, Philadelphia neighborhood to CFS where he flourished through high school, eventually winning the Headmaster’s Watch, the School’s top graduation award. A member of a class of only six, he did everything from heading a Milk Squad to lettering in several sports and doing some coaching of the JV basketball team. Along the way he learned lessons about confidence and integrity that stayed with him throughout his life. While a student, Lane gravitated towards CFS’s outstanding math program. At the same time, he sincerely enjoyed his role as Captain of a Milk Squad where he learned the value of rising early while assuming responsibilities that went far beyond milking. To this day, the Best Milker award he won as a freshman, against the older boys, is one of his most cherished memories. After graduation, Lane attended the University of Pennsylvania for a year but sought a better fit. At age 19 he entered the highly selective and rigorous Air Force Aviation Cadet Program, where he earned his commission and navigator wings. He flew missions in Korea and Japan as well as in Thailand and South Viet Nam during the early years of the Viet Nam War. After serving eight years he left the Air Force with the rank of Captain. After the military, Lane and his wife Kaye and two sons moved to Waco, Texas, to attend Baylor University. After earning an undergraduate degree and a master’s, he moved to Los Angeles where he taught accounting while earning his doctorate at the University of Southern California. Five years later, he returned to Baylor where he taught in the business school until his retirement in 2007 as Professor Emeritus of Accounting. Today, his family, travel, Air Force reunions, and golf are among his favorite pastimes. “Looking back I have fond memories of everything at The Church Farm School, even the food,” says Dr. Collins, adding with a wink, “I must have milked 1,000 cows.”
