1W THE DARDA 1927 VOLUME 111 H. H. Austin Edilor- ' .n-Chkf P. R. Brown Business Manager PUBLISHED BV THE STUDENTS OF TREVECCA COLLEGE NASHVILLE, TENN. E, cannot linger forever on the campus of Trevecca and look into the great beyond. The future is only a matter of speculation, but our past years in the old school remain inde- structible in our minds. Soon we shall leave these sacred walls to fight in that great arena toward which we are now looking. And if in fifteen or twenty years from now, when memories have been dimmed and remembrance has faded, you should think of the days that are past and gone; and if you should remove this volume from the shelf and slowly turn the pages and live in your college days again, then the staff of ' 27 will not feel that their work has been in vain. And if, perchance, you should pull little Junior to your side and carefully show him what Dad or Mother did in their youth and so create in him a desire to live in reality those mem- ories which these pages recall, then the joy of service will have been ours. DEDICATION TO REV. H. H. WISE ONE WHO HAS BEEN UNTIRING IN HIS EFFORTS TOWARD THE UPBUILDING OF OUR ALMA MATER THROUGHOUT THE MANY YEARS THAT HE HAS SERVED IT; ONE TO WHOM IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO DEDICATE THIS VOLUME, BECAUSE HE IS A RIGHTEOUS MAN AND LOVES COD AND TRUTH ABOVE ALL THINGS. HE HAS SET FOR US A MOST WORTHY EXAMPLE IN THE PRESENCE OF COD; THEREFORE WE ARE NOT AFRAID TO TRAVEL IN HIS FOOTSTEPS THROUGH- OUT LIFE ' S JOURNEY. REV. H. H. WISE OAY breaks and the shadows flee away, can truly be said of Trevecca College. With the helm held in a steady, experienced hand, a hand that has guided other institutions through the crucial hour, Trevecca College is being successfully headed by none other than Reverend A. O. Henricks, who came to us as a nationally known evangelist, and the former President of Pasadena College, Pasadena, California. Dr. Henricks has ever been successful in all his under- takings. The secret lies in three things: He is a scholar, a financier, and a man who knows God. As President of Tre- vecca College, he has never been so busy that he could not put aside his work for a few minutes to encourage some dis- heartened boy or girl, and never has a student gone from his presence without feeling that he or she has been in the pres- ence of a great man. The day has dawned upon a more brilliant future than Trevecca has ever before known. The shadows of inefficient equipment, unmodernized buildings, unstandardization and un- recognition from the educational world have flown from her, and the shadow of debt is fast be:ng chased away by the rapidly rising sun of co-operation from the entire zone of the Southeastern District. Dr. Henricks has spent all the time that he could away from college working in the field unceasingly, getting Trevecca College before the public. And with a leader of his powerful personality, the people have foreseen and the coming years can only realize, that which can be described in one word — SUC- CESS. Mabel Catherine Coleman. A. o. HENRICK.S HE business management of Trevecca is in the hands of Mr. T. C. Young, an old Trevecca student. Mr. Young has proved his capability of filling the place by the efficiency with which the work is being carried on. Dr. Henricks says that in all of his school work he has never had his superior in the position. Mr. Young is a prominent business man of Nashville, being business manager of the Southwestern Coal Company. Tre- vecca is glad to claim such a successful man on its executive staff. — Esther Mercer.

C , yet we wander about the W I campus and through the halls casting lingering glances here and there, tr ini V M J to recall every detail of our years spent in Trevecca. We think of the first days of our sojourn in the City of Learning. How we were unacquainted and felt out of everything. We think of the hard lessons, long assignments, and tears of exam- inations; of hardships, disappointments, sorrows, and misunderstandings. Hut with these com other memories — memories of the fun, socials, friendships and blessings that have been ours. We would like to begin at the bottom again, but we cannot do so, as the field is already white unto harvest and the laborers are few. We must hasten on ! There are representatives in the Class of ' 27 for every walk of life. Out in the world there are neglected children who need to be taught; there are court rooms that need Godly lawyers; there are fevered brows waiting for a nurse ' s gentle touch; there are bodies bleeding and mangled who need the knife of an experienced surgeon ; there are those beyond the sea who have never heard the story of Life; there are those in the homeland who need the ministry of Christ. We, by the Grace of Him who called us, will be faithful to the trust that He has committed unto us. We will go to the little red schoolhouse; we will plead the cases of those less fortunate than we; the fevered brows will be tenderly bathed by those of our number; we will don tin- surgeon ' s gown and rubber gloves, and, with a hand guided by the Great Physician, will do our best to relieve suffering humanity; we will go to those in heathen darkness; we will stand behind the sacred desk and break the Bread of Life.

Some of them came up from Trevecca Academic regions, while others journeyed from Foreign Countries. They were all with one accord in search of a treasure called Knowledge, which, when found, would give them a richer, fuller and more useful life. To make their work more effective they organized and chose as their leader Mr. Francis Hemmerly, and called themselves the Junior Class of Twenty-six. Their search led them into fields of Mathematics, Science, Language and History. These new lands held many dangers, the most powerful being the danger of Flunking, but this was victoriously overcome by midnight oil and ambition. From time to time other young searchers were added to their band while others dropped out to go to other states, and two anchored on the Fsle of Matrimony. At the beginning of the second year there were sixteen continuing their search. They reorganized and elected as their president, Mr. Homer Austin, and with pride changed their names to the Senior Class of Twenty-seven, and took for their motto, Labor conquers all things. Their colors were blue and white, and their Mower the for- get-me-not. This journey was not all through places of hard work and discouragement, but happened upon pleasant ways and they enjoyed together wiener roasts, outings, and many other good times. Twice they engaged in memorable contests between the Reds and Blues, which waxed warm and interesting. They journeyed on until now they have reached th; Gates of Graduation, whence they will part their ways each to continue his search alone in different fields. May they continue on until one by one they shall be decorated with the medal of Success. — FsTHFU MliRCER. 24 THE NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN DARDA CLASS POEM T o live J To feel the earth ' s pulsating heart against your own; To share your life with others, to realize you ' re not (done.

Seniors Rest Seniors, rest, thy school days o ' er, Take the rest that knows no breaking; Dream of teachers ' frown no more, Books and classrooms all forsaking. For in our dorm ' s enchanted hall, Things unseen your way is strewing; On the breeze your music falls, Every sense in slumber dewing. Seniors, rest, thy school days o ' er, Dream of teachers ' frown no more ; Take the rest that knows no ending, Now you are through with all pretending. No loud bell shall reach thine ear, Teachers ' voice or student champing; No summons to the office hear, Nor to the Physics class go tramping, Since your senior year rolled round. No more theorems to expound — At this thought beat loud our drum, And say farewell to classes hum. Written rules shall none be near, Deans ' nor matrons ' challenge hear. Now no boss shall have us routing, And no test shall have us stamping. Seniors, rest, thy journey ' s done. While thy joyous spells assail ye, Work not with the rising sun. Hells here shall not sound reveille. Rest! Our books are in their den; Rest! Our toils are by us lying; Rest! Don ' t dream in yonder ' s glen, How thy exams kept thee sighing. Seniors, rest! Thy race is run. Think not of thy rising sun, And the burdens that assail ye. Here no hells shall sound reveille. — Lucille Frost. 34 THE NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN DARDA Class History HESE are the names of the children of Promise which came up out of the land of Ignorance: Bertha and Amanda of the tribe of Gunn, Evans of the tribe of Burnett, Gladys of the tribe of Damron, Frances of the tribe of Thompson, Martha anil George of the tribe of Mc(ihee and Vinnie Eee of the tribe of McManus. And the number of the children of Promise was seven. Now these children were exceedingh ambitious and increased daily in the desire for knowledge and the land was filled with them. But there was set over them taskmasters to afflict them with burdens. But the more the) afflicted them the more they desired to increase in knowledge. The taskmasters of the land of Ignorance made them to serve with rigor. And made their lives bitter with hard bondage. And it came to pass in those days that there was raised up a deliverer. Now this deliverer kept his flocks in the coast country. And there appeared unto him a messenger saying: You have surely seen the afflictions of your brethren who are in the Southland and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters. Will you not come down and deliver them out of the land of Ignorance, and bring them up out of this land, into a land of Knowledge, Wisdom, Power and Prosperity? And the deliverer said unto the messenger, Who am I that I should go unto the great king of Ignorance, and that I should bring forth the children of Promise out of his land? Then the messenger said unto him. Go, and gather together all the elders of the church, and members of the board, and say unto them that their messenger who appeared unto you has promised help and support if all work together. And it came to pass that the deliverer took his wife and two sons, and journeyed to the Southland. He went unto the king of Ignorance and said, Eet my people go, that they max feast in the fields of learning, and drink at the fountain of knowledge. But the king said, Who are you that I should obey your voice, and let the children of Promise go? Behold the people of the land of Ignorance are now many and you make them rest from their burdens. And he said, Let there be more work laid upon them. But it came to pass that the king let the children go out of the land of bondage. And when the king saw what he had done, he pursued the children with all his hosts and overtook them camping by the sea of Difficult). Through faith and courage the waters rolled back and the children of Promise walked through on dry land. The king in close pursuit entered into the sea and was destroyed when the mighty waters rushed together. It came to pass when the children of Promise were gone out of the land of Ignorance, the same day came they unto the wilderness of Training. Others joining them were Lillie Sue ol the tribe of Redford, Lucille of the tribe of Frost, Rebecca of the tribe of Mackey, Clyde of the tribe of Aiken, Clarence of the tribe of Smith, Jesse of the tribe of Meggs, Clyde of the tribe of Morris, Reed of the tribe of Pierce, Chester of the tribe of Wilkerson, Beverh and Earl of the tribe of Vennum, Imogene of the tribe of Thrasher, Charles of the tribe of Pegram, and Robert of the tribe of Carr. Then the deliverer went unto the elders commanding the children of Promise not to come near unto the meeting. And when he came out he spoke unto the children, saving: Thou shalt not leave the campus. Thou shalt not speak to those of opposite sex. Thou slmlt no t speak in study hall. Thou shalt attend chapel. Thou shalt not deface school property. Thou 35 THE NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN DARDA shalt not use a double socket in your room. Boys shall not enter girls ' parlors. Thou shalt extinguish all lights at 10 p.m. Thou shalt rise at 6 a.m. Girls shall not appear in public with- out middies and skirts. And when he had finished he said, Now these are the commandments which the hoard gave me to set before you, saying that it you keep these commandments you will surely see the land of Knowledge. And it came to pass that they kept the commandments set before them and journeyed on toward the long-looked-for land of Knowledge. But when they came to the walls of the land there was the river of Opposition. Remembering the experience at the sea of Difficulty they had faith and courage. The waters divided, and the children of Promise walked over into the land of Knowledge and started their new life — never to forget to give thanks to their deliverer and appreciate the many things he had done for them. — Martha McGhee.

THE NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN DARDA THE NINETEEN TWENTY -SEVEN DARDA Trevecca Sckool of Religion JHROUGH this department in Trevecca College, various types ■ C A of workers in the church revive their training for efficient serv- ice. Efficiency and economy are the two big principles which underlie the present organization of curricula in the School of Religion. The following courses of study are offered: The Ministerial Course, the Theological High School Course, and th° Theological College Course. Graduation from the Ministerial Course of three years meets all the educational requirements for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene. This is offered those who for various reasons do not care to pursue their education further. The Theological High School Course of four years enables a student to graduate from the regular accredited four year High School Course and the Ministerial Course at the same time. The Theological College Course of three years enables the stu- dent to graduate from the accredited Junior College and get the Theo- logical degree (Th.H.) at the same time. This plan, of course, offers a great economy in time and money to the ministerial and missionary students. Money and at least from one to two years in time is saved to the student in taking these courses. Only persons definitely called to church work can register in this department. The instructors in this department are keenly conscious of their great responsibility to the church and their ripe scholarship, experience as teachers, and the Baptism w ith the Holy Ghost, added to an impassioned spirit of evangelism and soul- winning, assures this department of continued blessing and achievement in training for the church a fire-baptised ministry.

THE NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN DARDA THE NINETEEN TWENTY -SEVEN DARDA THE NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN DARDA CHORUS FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT THE NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN DARDA THE NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN DARDA The Sun Never Sets on Trevecca Students HI ' , greatest and most lasting impressions of Trevecca is her spirit of missions and missionary work on the foreign field. She has sent more missionaries to the foreign field than any other school of our movement. The fact that this department is the outstanding feature and the nucleus around which the school was founded should make our hearts rejoice over the growth each year. We feel greatly blessed and highly honored in having in our school and as mem- bers of our faculty four returned missionaries. This year is the best year Trevecca has ever known. There are more missionaries in training than there has been in any year previous. We have eight preparing to labor in Africa, two in China,, and two in India. When we toss a small pebble into the great sea we can never tell what the waves may bring to shore. Just so we are never able to tell what a life that answers the call of God to a Foreign mission will bring forth or the love, light, life and joy a soul that is given up to God may impart to a benighted heathen domain. Trevecca, like a blacksmith ' s anvil sending out sparks into the dark, sends out the light of the Gospel to the dark lands beyond the deep. There will be many souls redeemed through the effort of Trevecca ' s own laborers. And as the light of the Gospel is spread into heathendom, and some precious soul there picks up the thread of the message and carries it on to others it makes a strong band around the world that will touch lives that never would have been touched and reached if some one of Trevecca ' s own students had not answered the call. No other school in the world could have done the work that Trevecca has in this line, for it was created for this purpose and to this end has it stood. We all have a place to fill in this big old world of ours even if it is very small and nothing or anyone can fill it for us.
