Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1953 volume:

m mmu Published Annually by the Students of Athens College Athens, Alabama Wcfltion R. H. Richardson, Jr. , a member of a family who for gener- ations has been closely connected with Athens College; who, himself, was on the Board of Trustees until becoming Business Manager and Treasurer of Athens College; who is highly esteemed by the Boards of Trustees, the Administration and the Faculty, the Students, and the Citizens of Athens- -to you, Mr. Richardson, we affectionately dedicate this, our 1953, edition of The Columns. ' W ' ' -f ? ' R. H. Richardson, Jr. A Word from the Editor Words cannot express my appreciation for the wholehearted cooperation I have received in helping to make the 1953 edition of The Columns a success. Without the cooperation of the Staff, the Student- body, and the Faculty, I could have done nothing. This little book represents many hours of planning, work and headaches; but the experience have gained, the people I have met, and the new friends I have made, compensate in full for the discouragements, worries, and the work which have entered into the production of the annual. I I am very grateful to Dr. Fairman, the faculty sponsor, for the generous help he has so freely given; and also to the advertisers for their assistance in helping to make our annual a reality. It has been a privilege, a pleasure, and also an honor to have been entrusted with the responsibility of editing the 1953 Columns. There has been much time and thought given to the anangementof this book. I sincerely hope you will find it interesting. Billy Gene Bullington ilina Mater On Alabama ' s northern border.
