Henry, a lover of youth and possessor of a God-given aptitude for teaching, has demonstrated to the world and to Athens College in particular by his life and deeds the fact that he possesses all the requirements of a true Christian gentleman. Dr. Henry is an inspiration to both the faculty and the students of Athens College. To you. Dr. Henry, this edition of The Columns is dedicated. WAIGHTS G. HENRY, Ph. D., LL. D. FROM THE EDITOR: When I began my work as editor of the Columns last November, I knew that it would be a big job, but that was not the half of it--this little book required more work than one would ever believe. However, what I have learned about people and the experience I have gained com- pensate in full for the work and worries so frequently encountered. Words cannot express my thanks to those members of The Columns Staff, the faculty, and the student body who have worked so faithfully and cooperatively . To the faculty sponsor. Dr. Fair- man, an apology for the almost continual disturbance — he has been ever helpful. Thank you, advertisers, for your assistance in helping to make our annual a success. It has been a privilege and a pleasure as well as an honor to have been entrusted with such a responsibility. Again, thanks to everyone v o has contributed in anyway toward making The Columns of 1952 a reality. Mack ?  Cy cman FROM THE STAFF: Thestaff takes pride in presenting this publication to you with the hope that it will preserve at least a portion of the spirit of our college days. To our college friends we hope that The Columns will give you a better understanding of what is being done at Athens College. Much time and thought have been given to the assimilation of this edition — we hope you like it. illma Mater On Alabama ' s northern border, Reared against the sky.
