We are going forth in the finishing of God's worlc. All we want is a fair chance, and just in proportion as this is granted will this recognition be made. We aslc no man for his sympathy. We simply asle of the majority because we are in a minority, an opportunity to develop the faculties which the Creator has given us. Our years of life have built around us a pattern. Our climb through grammar school and secondary school, to the stepping stone of college, has woven into our life's pattern many designs for living. With these designs, we are capable of meeting any emergency. We cannot, however expect to fulfill our chosen destiny without the driving force of clear, clean, and christian thinlcing. We have studied and worlced. We have experienced and benefitted. And now WE ARE DETERMINED to stand by the cause for which we have been trained. The world may woo us, they may court us and try to get us to worship at their shrine, but we are Christian Youth by instinct, and we will be so long as God will allow our proper senses to hold sway over us.-- - Editor Our President There is only one sorrow we have in pulling up stalces now. That is the sorrow of separating from friends that are dear. Shalce- speare must have had a similiar experience that caused. him to write, Parting is such sweet sor- row. But we are not going to pine and sigh because we can not have eternal abode on this campus. Why should we, when day after day as we sat at their feet our teachers have constantly reminded us that they were preparing us for service in the world? And if we fail them their unselfish efforts will all have been in vain. So, we shall go and, when in memory we thinlc of our school days, it will be with a pleasant thought and a prayer of gratefulness for the influence each has lent to mold our lives in the proper way. There is President Moran: Who could ever come to lcnow him without an appreciation for worlc, and his understanding approach toward the problems of students. And Elder Edwards, the most unselfish Christian gentle- man one ever lcnew, always ready to help a fellow in need. Few I 1 Faculty Memoirs - - Dear Miss Baugh: She used to say so softly, l wish I could'say something to help you understand the love of Jesus. She has helped us all in so many ways. He weighs his words but his words weigh much-that's Professor Dent. No one ever made his acquaintance without being impressed with the refinement and court- eousness of him. And Mr. Frazier: Remember how he good-naturedly would aslc when we approached his office Well, what can l do for you today? We can't forget how he has shown interest in our financial problems. The men of Henderson Hall have found in Dean and Mrs. Brantly two excellent friends. Not once has any one lgnoclced at their door and gone away refused. Such a spirit of liberalityl Then there's Miss Gresham, her influence has leaned toward our health. She lcept us supplied with beans, potatoes, cornbread, and pie-all delicately prepared so that we might lceep well and strong we never could forget her. Elder Moseley's sermons have inspired us toward better Christian living. Listen can't you hear him leading out in, Oh My Loving' Brother, When de Worl's on Fiah?', When ever we thinlc of Mr. and Mrs. Street, we shall recall that line, about A smile is worth -you lcnow it. Never have we met either when bad humor was rampant. They always are cheerful. the Faculty Members l l i 1 l l l l i i I l l I S i i i i l ii, l i l l 2 To Steer and Not to Drift Charles Cunningham Visualize with me if you will an ocean scene. The afternoon sun still beats fiercely on the untroubled waters. At the near by pier, many boats are riding at anchor. The stout hawsers that bind the boats to the shore seem strong enough to hold a thousand boats. But the strain and tug of the boats are too much for two of the ropes. Even as we watch, the strains loosen and two boats go Floating down to the sea. Now let us look again,in the evening as the soothing sea-zephyrs carress the parched and fainting land, two husky captains stride swiftly to the pier, untie their boats and move noiselessly down the coast to the oyster beds. No words are spoken, yet the grim look on the faces of the men show as they row, an adamant determination to reach their goal. At the great sheltered pier of Oakwood Jr. College, we the members of the Senior Class along with you, have ridden at anchor for many years. Some have rested here longer than others but to us, at least, the call has come to launch out into the deep. -lo leave the sheltered cloisters of our Alma Mater and strike out upon the chan- nel of Reality to the oyster beds of success. ln order to reach this goal we have to set our hearts with the determination to achieve and then persevere to to the end. TO STEER AND NCT TO Dlllfl-rto journey upon life's sea with a tangible goal in view and to stear un- falteringly to the desired l'laven. While we launch with the immediate goal of success in our minds, we are steering toward that Haven of Eternal Rest, l-leaven. As we set our course for this l-laven, we, the Senior Class of 1939, resolve not to let the waves of trials of the storms of perplexities and problems get us off our course. Many young people are drifting along on the high seas of life with out port in view or compass to steer by. The world is full of the wrecks of human lives who have drifted onto the reefs of despair and sin. Drifting brings sure -Destruction. Taking heed from the thousands of examples of destructed lives around us, we choose the Master Pilot for our guide. We have chosen an emblem of Buff and Blue for loyalty and steadfastness, and with these colors on the flagship 'tyouthu we laucnh out into the field of usefulness to steer a straight course to success and not to drift. Mrs. Rose, the art teacher: She taught us many arts, and among our cherished memories are the times when she sacrificed her time to help us with an unfinished task. So longsuffering and patient is she. Among the things that cling close in memories walls is the thought of Mr. Ashby ready with a witty remark to keep one in good spirits. He has cheered many a student who felt downcast and forgotten. Then Professor and Mrs. Johnson: Mr. Johnson is- if he will pardon the term-the most regular fellar one ever knew. Jolly, good-natured and happy always. Mrs. Johnson always wanted us to say the right thing, in the right place at the right time. If our verbs and subjects agreed, then she did too. Dear, dear Faculty-forget them? No never. Yes, There's an album in my memory-An album filled with older, golden pictures in memory and each tells it's own little story to my heart. Farewell Alma Mater By Josephine McQuerry The good ship Alma Mater rides, At anchor in the bay With a happy group of Seniors, ln this merry month of May. for years you have bravely borne us, Now ocean and sea are past, We have come to our destination, We must hold our anchor fast. Now we are past the storms of strife The winds are far behind. We have reached the shore safe and sound With faith that stands Sublime. lo our captains of Alma Mater So loyal faithful and true, Like beacon lights in the darkness, l lave helped us make it throughl Oh good ship Alma Mater we, Shall bid farewell to thee, May those were leaving behind us Faithful and loyal be. MOTTO ON STORMY WAVES TO SUCCESS By-flora Moten Ir is sunset on the pacific ocean. Far out in the sea glides the great :Empress of Britainf' She has left her port with no thought of turning back because the angry billows lash the star-board. l-ler only aim is to cross those stormy waves and to dock successfully in the Eng- lish harbor. lt is 1939. We, a ship-load of seniors launch into a world, likened to a tossing ship without a compass, drifting in the ocean of time, and headed for the shoals of destruction. -lhough the nations are angry and the war clouds gather, though we are criticized, persecuted and beaten with many stripes, we will keep to our compass, the Bible, and sail. We have already started in our march to the goal with a creditable beginning. Although it is impossible to foretell what the future contains, we feel sure that our course will be brightened by the success of our members. Knowing that success of life never comes to him who makes no attempt to combat the storms, or to him who never sets out to sail, but to him who endures and arrives in the harbor, we look to our maker whose word is our guide. The world may try to persuade us that there are shorter ways and easier methods, but we turn a deaf ear and keep our eyes fixed upon our pattern and compass. We, the seniors of 1939 reject the momentary pleasures the folly, the tinsel of this world to be counted worthy of the honor of heaven, and then success will be ours as we sail at last into the harbor and dock on the sea of g ass.

Sentinel President's Address Excerpts from the Address of Norman Simons At a long, long last we lift our feet out of plains of romance and peace into the mountains of more serious realities. At last we contemplate the actual taslt of Being an example to the believers. The stern challenge of the world, the even more serious challenge of our Master has been heard here. We have counted the cost, we have weighed the tasl4, today,,clear mindly, cheerfully, even eagerly we accept the challenge and throw our weight into the time long fray for right and for God. We are aminated by the same unconquerable, indomin- able spirit that has actuated youth in every age and time, to arouse to the call of special events and situations, leaving behind impressions on time and the heart of man that are even more ineffacable than the time honored granite. for the more lasting pieces have enured for only a few thousand years at most, while Christian young men ahd women have had their names and figures carved in bas-relief and placed among the art treasures of God. Some one has said, The world's interests are under God, in the hands fff the youngf, Dictators and rulers recognize the importance of youth for military conquests'- for they form the flower of their battalions of death. Lilcewise God has placed much importance on us as youth for spiritual confiuest. Today the ranlts of aged color bearers issthinning, death and iniquity talce their toll leaving gaps to be filled with the new generation, today the new genera- tion is filling those gaps and tomorrow this new corps armed with the mighty sword of God shall complete the taslc begun some five thousand years ago. It is the worldys supreme hour'it is the supreme hour for youth. Youth that triumphed in the past will not falter now. Courageous youth has dared the impossible, lt has altered nations, held the banner of God in the high places of the earth, faced persecution and death, spanned continents, and surmounted the worlds crests. Youth have conquered physically, youth have con- quered socially, youth have conquered politically. lt has stood at both poles, conquered innumerable diseases, charted unltnown seas, mastered pathless wilds, in times of stress and emergency it has born the brunt. Today the people of the seven seas call, for that call in this day we muster unprecedented fearlessness and faith and say Ul3y the grace of God,fl.et the world come on. Class Cration Excerpts from Speech delivered by Clifford Clemmons. SPIRIT OF DEVOTION And David longed, and said, Ch that one would give me to drinlc of the water, of the well of Bethlehem which is by the gatel And three mighty men bralte forth through the host of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and brought it to David, nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord. And he said, 'Be it far from me 0 Lord, that l should do this, is not this the blood of men who went in jeopardy for their lives? Therefore he would not drinlc it. Judged by material standards, this is a tale of folly from beginning to end. It seemed foolish for David to utter this wish, it was doubly foolish for his captains to rislc their lives to compass it, it was trebly foolish for him to waste the gift which had been won at so great a price. l do not mean that all who read this story would criti- cize it the same way, but when we are dealing, not with exceptional matter of ancient history, but with this every day world of the twentieth century and begin to place values on little deeds of heroism, instead of the great ones, we are prone to use material standards and call them common sense. We are apt to judge worlc by its definite and measurable results and to malee these results the motive for service, and the criterion for success and to condemn as misplaced sentiment, anything which sacri- fices or risl4 a tangible manifestation of loyalty or devo- tion. All the achievements of modern science and de- mocracy will be worth little, if in the long run, they teach people to regard lcnowledge for the salce of the return which it brings, and measures success in life by the concrete resultwith which men can credit themselves. Now may we say as did paul, l am persuaded that neither life nor death nor angels or principalities nor things present, nor things to come nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christlesusf' May it be our privilege to preach this gospel of self-sacrificing action and share in revealing the meaning of this gospel to the generations which are to come. Thus living out in our lives the Spirit of -lrue Devotion.

CLASS PROPHECY By Catherine Brooks As the curtain of time is drawn back and we are per- mitted to look ten years into the future, the graduates of the class of '39 are seen scattered here and there through- out the globe. Cornell Rowell, the Doctor Carver of the Advent Movement, has returned to his Alma Mater, Qakwood Senior College where he superintends the Science Dept. Thelma Russell now realizes the fulfillment of her dreams, now that she is brain surgeon at St. Helena Hospital and Sanitarium. At a recent visit to Qakwood Senior College, l was confronted with the question, What does Mitchellena Gibson mean by traversing through the halls of the girls new home with that huge flashlight? l was told that she is Dean of Women. Good old Mitch still taking things as good naturedly as ever. Marion Cantrell and Ernest Rogers, are fighting with all their might to conquer the Sunday Blue Law. lf they defeat this bill in Congress, they will stand in the hall of Fame with Elder Longacre and others who have worked toward the same goal.

Simmons Vice-Presidentfl-lortense Moran Secretary-Anna Mae Ebron Assistant Secretary-Bertha Turner lreasurerHJohn Wise Assistant Treasurer-Arthelia Watlington Announcement that Professor I.. E. Johnson should be faculty sponsor brought a burst of applause from the class. Initial evidences all point to the happy thought that very capable successors shall shoulder the responsi- bility of school betterment which the graduating class of '39 shall leave upon its departure. Class preference as to destination of the annual Junior Class hike centered in the college' famous Iwo-Mile Mountain. April Q4 hearts crystal-clear paced briskly under the crystal stars of early morn-Their object?-the beckoning summits in the distance. About an hour's time found happy, hiking, but hungry Juniors unanimous in the de- cision that their fast should be brokenl Camp fires brought warm drink to ideal farenheit. Buns, eggs Cfried with cheeseb, together with hot fried potatoes spoke satisfact- ion to healthy appetites. After breakfast, the glorious spectacle of the rising sun, as its crimson face blushed from the beauty of the moun- tain barrier adorned in its spring garb, shot inspiration to youthful souls. lhat day neither altitude nor rocks of difficulty could repress that inward cry for higher heightsf' Qnce on top of the mountain, the company either rested on inviting logs, basked in the warmth of the sun- light, or reclined under the shade of the oaks. Less exertion was experienced in the descent. The valley below offered an exquisite picture of southern landscape. Across this garden of beauty the Juniors made their return trip. Triumphant on the picnic grounds of school soil, they whetted appetites for their noonday meal in a rousing ball game. Some occupied themselves in the majesty of a nearby woods. Cthers welcomed quiet naps in the whispering breeze. Twelve o'clock witnessed cheerful, trailworn Juniors as they sought dormitory comfort and early dreams. Class President. Religious Activities of the Class of '39 By Roy Stone Throughout the nation thousands of students will wear the cap and gown as evidence of their scholastic attain- ment. Many of these youth have bowed low at the shrine of human wisdom, they have drunk deeply at the well of great me'n's philosophy. Because they know not God, the earthly is exalted, the divine abased, and the minds of many are turned from the true God. As the senior class contemplated its soon departure from its Alma Mater, the necessity of prayer and the need of divine guidance for the days ahead were realized. Therefore, the class assembled in the College Chapel for worship each Sabbath morning after its organization. Both quest speakers and members of the faculty brought messages which provoked much serious thought. President J. I.. Moran, the first speaker, impressed the group by enlarging upon Rev. 3:90 'Behold I stand at the door and knock fi' I-le stated that the greatest musician, the greatest artist, or the greatest man along any line is the one who can see Christ in what he is doing. I-le further stated the need of permitting Christ to come into our hearts, but reminded the group that the latch is on the inside, and Christ never forces an en- trance. Elder B. W. Abney, return Missionary from South Africa, followed. Basing his remarks on Joel Q:'I5-'I7, he spoke about the solemnity of the times which calls for greater and wider service. Among other speakers were Prof. J. F. Dent and Elder Q. B. Edwards. Their timely admonition was readily accepted by the attentive listeners. SENIOR DAY Senior-Day has almost become traditional at Q. J. C. May 'I3 the Senior Class conducted all the religious activities of the day. Sabbath School began with an atmosphere of rever- ence and holy awe as a sixteen voice chorus sang lNlearer lo The l-leart of God. After a moment of silent prayer, Marion Cantrell lifted his voice in prayer to God. The entire school then united in singng one of the songs of Zion. Was it a spelling bee, did you say? No, it was just nine young ladies spelling S-E-N-I-Q-I2 D-A-Y with scripture-a verse beginning with each letter. As usual, Elizabeth Jackson thrilled all with her rich, melodius voice, and before it had died away, Corine Williams was talking to Roy Stanford. She told him about the program and the part the Sabbath School was playing in carrying it on. lhen at that very time a mission broad- cast i'I3rovidentially and 'icoincidentallyu came on. As the radio was dialed, sweet strains of quartet music em- inated from the loud-speaker. lhen a voice was heard: Norman Simons presented flora Moten who stirred the radio audience with her portrayal of the needs in South Africafs Mission lands. Walter Starks conducted an interesting and pointed review of the previous Sabbath s lesson. Classes then separated for the lesson study. As the school re-assembled it was favored with the blending of two well known voices, they were those of Vivian McRae and Lester Carter. livery senior took an active part in making senior-day in the Sabbath School one of the most interesting and enjoyable of the year. Among other highlights in the religious activities of the day was the Mothers Day program given by the Mis- sionary Volunteer Society of which Norman Simons, the class president, acted as leader. After viewing a word picture of the one who rocks the cradle of the world, after getting a vague but im- pressive insight into her sufferings and sacrifices the thoughts of many were turned to mother and home. And then, as if not already enough sentimental, an octette of select voices sang with much pathos and tender- ness Going l'lome'f by Dvorak. This was a very excellent contribution, and if thoughts of mother and home were entertained before, they were strengthened now, and many were suffering from nostalgia. lhus Senior-Day came to a close, and only sweet memo- ries remained to gladden the hearts of the class of '39 as they continue their indomitable conquest of life.

J Playtime for Seniors By Walter Starks Qn the wings of the morning the age old sandman fled from the visages of the Seniors as they joyfully an- ticipated the activities of the morrow. probably not a man slept over an hour during the night, the anticipations like the ringing of sirens kept their ears tingling so that sleep was practically impossible. None too soon but as a lion stalks his prey, stealthily, the morning crept upon them and with a thunderous l-loorayl they were off. Bus loaded with students, truck loaded with food, real good picnic food, a combination that can't be beat. With the brisk morning air driving all the remaining sleep from their eyes, the seniors rode to their destination. Just to give you and idea and to whet your appetite a bit, take a look at the menu. first after a hardy two hours of games, baseball and horse-shoes, at 6 ofclock the fires were lighted, and at 6:30 the first and last call for breakfast came. Eggs and Cheese-french fried Potatoes-Georgia Del- monte peaches l'lot Cocoa-l'lot buttered rolls. No one could be better fortified for the days routine. Dishes washed ard put away, did l say dishes? Away with ,all such paraphanalia. for after burning the paper plates, and washing the silverware, the real fun began. for a while the din of the mixed voices of males and females as they gleefully played games was hard to de- scribe, lacking too much in harmony to be called music and not distinct enough to be classed as noise. All this finally subsided and nothing was heard but the musical ripple of the big creek, broken at moderate intervals by the sound of oars, then by the loud splash of some over energetic senior as he developed enough courage to divide the cooling stream. But all the canoeing and fun of the morning did not hinder the call to dinner, for at the first announcement the forsaken paths were alive with fifty seniors as they made ready to feast on the appetizing meal. Now, not to make you hungry, but just to give you an idea of a delicious dinner: English peas-Creamed lrish potatoes!-Roast and Jelly-Ritz crackers, Lemon Pie- Punch. -fhere were not many physical activitics after dinner, mostly mental, and the shade of the juniper trees was enough to permit sleepor rest as the occasion demanded. Under the able supervision of lVlr. T. -l. Frazier, the faculty Advisor, all enjoyed wholesome fun. As the shade of the evening began to veil the lace of old King Sol, the last of the refreshments were served. Just a little H-l'easer this time. lce cream+Cake-Punch. The familiar whir of the motor reminded us that it was time to make our way homeward. Car fenders ornamented with seniors, and a full capacity taken inside the Bus, we reluctantly rolled to the campus, bidding farewell to l:owler's Park some forever, some until l94'l. A joyous beginning, a joyous ending, we bid farewell to the Aspiring Juniors of 7939. A Storehouse of Good Amid the activities that the close of school brings, such as the Junior-Senior Banquet, the Presidents recep- tion, and Commencement, everyone is not privileged to have part. lhere is however, something that every student looks forward to, the Annual Picnic. for weeks the Annual Picnic has been taking its time about arriving, but like every other date it finally succumbed to the march of time, May 3. Welcoming the arrival of May 3, the student body joyfully made its way to a new picnic ground. There the big Oakes provided ample shade for the dining room, and a refreshing retreat for the picnickers. We cannot go into detail with the picnickers for another surprise awaits you on the 7th, the Junior-Senior Banquet. l-lere the Seniors are given the l-ligher seat of honor and encouraged by the Juniors to greater fields of progress. The Senior Presidents response, coupled with the responses of the faculty advisors of the classes and season- ed with the voice and mature advice of the College President causes oneis mind to soar to the heavens, and be filled with inspiration and determination, not only to conquer self but Goliaths and powers if need be. Leaving the Banquet we take you over another cycle of sevens which brings you to the 'l4th. And the presi- dent's reception. It you're not too old, go back to the time when mother used to let your playmates come over in the big room and play games and serve tea and cookies, myl but you had a grand time. Then you can see what an enjoyable time was had at the l3resident's reception, for the same big room is present and the Presidents storehouse of enter- tainment seems endless. The only noticeable change is you're quite grown up now and naturally your privileges are greater. Don't fail to find yourself next year within the confines of Q. J. C. Remember greater things are in store, bigger and better days are ahead. .
