To thee thou tount ot untorgotten joy, We lift our hearts in everlasting praise, Thy royal robe ot roses would employ A thousand slaves to pruhe thy kingly haze. And tho' a raging sun thy flowers wilt, Or tempests at thy stalwart portals beat, Thou hast as would a Warrior brought with guilt Each monster-crushed and beat to thy feet. Thou art, in truth, an arsenal of strength, A source ot cool, refreshing memories, The years reveal beneath a labyrinth Of pink thy liquid kissed by stirring breeze. Tho' scores of sons have trod thy beaten way, Thou hast in patience borne their smiles and tears, God give thee natural pow'r fore'er to stay And meet the challenge of succeeding years. 1 gqcdfvas iii' 'fwfr' ' F . .--.

During its many years of service, contributors from all parts of the country have made possible its steady circulation. Annually students tour the ii .2 country for subscriptions to insure its upkeep. tf Because of its varied interests and unique presentation of facts, the ACORN t, is to its many friends a source of literary enjoyment. As to content, each copy . contains campus news, feature articles, current events, word studies, alumni news, poetry, and departmental contributions. An efficient staff is selected each year to study the needs of its patrons and , plan accordingly. The April and May issues contain an additional two pages of humorous slants on student life. Other departments have made their contributions to the functioning of the school program. Much may be said of the ACORN for it has earned for itself a vital spot in campus life.

During the year '40-'41, through the leadership of presidents, Clarence Howell, Harry Shelton, Ioseph Winston, George Earle, and their sponsor, Pro- fessor N. Banks, the men of Henderson Hall have enjoyed many varieties of programs along with different types of recreation. For the benefit of the school, the society takes an interest in the appearance of Henderson Hall. Several articles of furniture have been placed in the dor- mitory and slight repairs have been made on the building which will increase the enjoyment of future students. ijfae uncif Quan de Mncif The Vincit Qua se Vincit, of which all the young ladies of Irwin Hall are members, experienced a year of successful accomplishment. A variety of programs, projects, and parties were enjoyed by the girls and campus families under the leadership of Catherine Brooks, Dorothy jenkins, Celia Abney, Sophie Thornton, Dorothy Nickerson, and Mildred Evelyn. The series of Student Recitals and Concerts sponsored by the project during the second semester won high acclaim from the campus residents. ,ff Y f .

This musical organization has been constantly improving under the direction of Elder C. E. Mosely, Ir. The roster includes the following: Misses T. Longware, S. Iohnson, A. Iones, O, Pettway, T. Van Putten, l. Iacksong Messrs. O. White, N. Iolly, W. Brown, W. Starks, V. Boyd, H. Alexander, and M. Maupin. Aside from regular duties of accompanying the Sabbath School and Home Missionary Society in their services the group presented their annual recital which included numbers from Handel, Beethoven, Bortwansky, and Marcelli. Though now in its infancy, the orchestra looks anxiously forward to greater services in the future. in .xg Caloloeffa CAM The A Cappella Choir, which is directed by Professor O. B. Edwards, gives special attention to Negro Spirituals and all standard A Cappella works. This choir is said to be one of the best in the Tennessee Valley. The choir makes several public appearances during the year including the Spring Concert. The Church Choir is a branch of the A Cappella and every Sabbath supplies the musical part of the service. strait SAW! x S' S' S Q Ss Qs 45? Many years ago in accordance with the plan adopted by the General Con- ference of Seventh-day Adventist, Oakwood introduced as a part of its re- ligious function the Sabbath School. The Sabbath School was organized for the training of young men and women who yearn for a deeper spirituality and a greater love for the Almighty. The Oakwood Sabbath School has in a very definite manner provided a channel through which members of the student body may exercise and rein- force their leadership ability. The practice teachers may become better quali- fied to guide others to the Way of Life by serving as teachers in the different classes. The Sabbath School has in addition to this provided, through the generosity of its members, hundreds of dollars for missions, Oakwood stands as a model for other institutions and the Sabbath School at Oakwood stands as a pattern for other Sabbath Schools.

From all parts of the United States and the Islands of the sea come those who comprise this society. This society has centered its efforts on the instruction and guidance of youth, who will be the leaders of tomorrow. Each member of the M. V. Society has the opportunity of cultivating his talent by appearing on Weekly programs in which many visitors and friends are greatly uplifted. Many nearby neighbors who are not as fortunate as the average individual are benefitted by food baskets that are distributed by the society. Many who are suffering from sickness are encouraged by the volunteers who distribute literature among them and conduct Bible studies with them. Through the society the youth is trained in all types of work that will be of benefit to humanity. MXQNDBK!
