O. HATHCOCK It is with feelings of gratitude, pride, and love that we, the Senior Class of 1953, dedicate this annual to Judge T .0. Hathcock. But for his vision of such a school, his untiring efforts in making that vision a reality, and his generous financial assistance, there would be 110 Atlanta Christian College today. His Christian character reflects itself in the lives and work of our students who look to him for inspiration as they too preach the Word. DIEDHCATHhN CHAPTER I . . . jlte pawl It was many years ago when Judge T. O. Hathcock and his wife, Nora, first foresaw the great need of a college in this area to train young men desiring to enter the ministry. Their purpose was ;;to establish a school where our young people may obtain an education under such influences es shall strengthen them in Christian character and send them into the world with their hearts aflame with a zeal to proclaim Godas word in its original simplicity and purity? At least five attempts were made to establish a Christian college to serve the Southeastern States. The sixth and living attempt began when the doors of Atlanta Christian College opened in Septem- ber, 1937. George W. BonDurant, a young graduate of Cincinnati Bible Seminary, served as presi- dent. As funds were lacking, Mr. BonDurant and the resident students cleared land, cultivated it, and began farming about 20 acres. They specialized in raising vegetables for use in the dining,r hall. A tractor was purchased in the spring of $41. At the beginning, there were no teachers other than Mr. BonDurant and Pearl Presley of Atlanta. Later, various Atlanta ministers graciously gave of their time to teach. The enrollment increased every year except one. JUDGE T. O. HATHCOCK MRS. NORA HATHCOCK GEORGE W. BONDURANT Up until 1942, the only building on the campus was the Main Buildinv. Now, a small office, lo- cated near the faculty parking lot, and a barn were built. In the following years, Stone Cottage, Smith Hall, OiKelly Hall, Scott Hall, the Presidentis home, and McGarvey Hall were built by the combined labor of students and faculty. Student activities increased each year. The first musical groups were the Choral Club, Boy,s Quartet, and Girlis Trio. There was the Declamatory Club, the Oratory Club, and the Debate Club. James Redmon, then minister of the Capitol View Church, organized the first basketball team. The boys practiced in front of Stone Cottage. 194-3 brought two new activities; the first Harvester was published7 and the two literary socie- ties, Chis and Gammas, were formed. Brother Orvel Calhoun Crowder was appointed as President in January, 1948. Since that time, the college has continued to grow under his able leadership. It has grown numerically and has deep- ened spiritually. The facilities of the school have been constantly improved with the building of a new dining hall and more dormitory space. Through the efforts of Brother Crowder, the school has grown in influence and has made friends all over the United States.

You make the present. You are the present. This chapter contains no great climaxes in our story. The characters move in their daily schedule. You will see yourselves as students. It takes the unusual to make characters colorful and especially interestind. ACC students do differ from students in other colleges and universities, so our story is different. It is the story of students who enjoy their class work as much as their recreation. As we look at the present, we see classes, basketball games, literary societieseall these things make up the pages of college life. In each is expressed the same effort. to do all.to the glory of our Author and His Son, Jesus Christ. ORVE PRESIDENT ATLANTA CHRISTIAN COLLEGE EAST POINT, GEORGIA 2531 0:10an DRIVE PH DRVEL EHDWDER.

We have 25 boys serving 22 churches in this Southeastern area. It is well for them to contact the problems and to gain the experience which comes from actual working in con- gregations. Lindsey Herndon is a typical student preacher. He prepares two sermons and a radio talk each week. While he has been at ACC, he has served his home church and in the meantime, has established a new congregation at Newman, Geor- gia. i LINDSEY HERNDON First Row: Estes Taylor, Fred Brown, Charles Moore, Kenneth Hartley, Wallace Altice, Joe Craft.

A number of students serve several Atlanta area churches as choir directors, pianists, and soloists. AOC has a fine music department where these students are trained. ASSISTANT CHOIR DIRECTOR III. TEACHING... Many students teach in Bible schools and young peoples groups. There are a number of classes at ACC which provide practical training for teaching. MINISTER SOLOIST K The past has seen the establishment and up-shoot- ing of Atlanta Christian College. The present sees the fulfillment of dreams;in a firmly established and fast growing Christian institution, in the lives of young men and women being trained for work in the Lords Vineyard, in the service being ren- dered to churches and individuals, and in the Souls being won and strengthened in Christ as a result of Atlanta Christian College. What will the future see? With Godas help and guidance, the future will see M the expansion of Atlanta Christian College to ade- quately care for and instruct 200 resident students and elders, deacons, teachers and Christian workers throughout the Atlanta area. FIRST DEPOSIT INTO THE BUILDING FUND t CHAPTER III ...:7Ae3ufure ? CLASSROOM WALLS ARE GOING UP This expansion will include the completion of a new three-unit buildingeclassrooms, chapel, and library-administratim-e-, the building of two new dormitories, the enlargement of the faculty, the enlargement of the library to 12,000 volumes, the instituting of an adequate student govern- ment, and the enlargement of night school. The classroom unit of the new building is under con- struction now and is to be completed this year. In working toward this expansion plan, Atlanta Christian Collegels future will also see a greater service rendered to the churches of the Southeast in furnishing more Christian workers. There are eighty-seven graduates serving in over fifty churches all over the country and on four foreign mission fields. Twenty-two churches in and around the At- lanta area are being served by student min- isters. And yet, the future can see even greater service rendered. But, even as the past and the present of At- lanta Christian College were depending on you, the future also depends on you. Not only does the future depend on your prayers and financial support, but in the rearing and train- ing of your children in the way of the Lord, and in the inspiring of them with the desire to give their life to the Lord to train for Chris- tian service. The future of Atlanta Christian College depends on the youth of tomorrow and in your seeing that their steps are di- rected toward service for the Lord. DOOR OF THE FUTURE YOUTH LOOKS TOWARD THE FUTURE - A 4 am A heart as big as a ten gallon hat, a smile as wide as the western plains, a charm as winning as that of any Georgia Gentlemanhthat was Roy Davis. He had a dream too. He wanted to travel, recruiting students to ACC. Brother Roy never made those trips. God planned for him another journey. But in the little time he spent on earth, he accomplished more than enough in leading young people to Christhnot by extensive traveling, but by a better wayhhis own Christ- centered life.
