J. C. Caldwell I pin? 2C«nt Au Heuotr, ftoaitont (Eatfmiell CENTRAL in the life of our college, for the last nine years, has been the beloved person- ality of President Jesse Cobb Caldwell. Coming from his successful pastorate of the Christian Church at Selma, Alabama, where he had deliberated on the crucial need of greater educational facilities for our people in the Southland, and for a season ministering to the Wilson Christian Church, meanwhile acquiring executive vision for his future work, then assuming our college administration where the beloved President J. J. Harper had so nobly laid it down, he has promoted the interests of Atlantic Christian College with singular efficiency during these memorable years. The material advancement of the institution is marked by its more than doubled dormitory capacity for students, resulting in approximate doubling of its real estate assets. However, of highest importance in the progress he ini- tiated and wrought, is the educational plane to which the college rose, and has been main- tained, receiving co-equal recognition with leading colleges of the State, because of work accomplished and ideals inspired. The relations of Dr. Caldwell to the student body have been markedly happy. Enter- ing with an innate grace into all phases of the college life, religious, academic, aesthetic, social, forensic and athletic, he gave an intimate encouragement to the student’s well rounded individual development. He sent the student from the life of the school into the school of life with all the mental and spiritual equipment practicable for the world’s work. So affable was he that his touch with students in all their needs and resources was notably close, and especially when, during long periods, he resided in one or the other of the dormi- tories. No less distinctly happy was his constant relation to the faculty, in each of whom he engendered and maintained a candid respect toward himself, his policies and his principles. The people of North Carolina will remember Dr. Caldwell largely because of his ser- mons. With his superior pulpit ability, there is combined a forensic and homiletic passion rare indeed in the class of men who primarily must be scholars and administrators in the academic field. Because of his judicious labors in our main State mission fields, and his growing interstate, sectional and national observance and study of our ministry and the problems and resources of our people, the Board of Managers of our North Carolina Chris- tian Missionary Convention has been helped largely by his counsel and initiative. The missionary work of the Disciples of Christ in Charlotte, Wilmington, Greensboro, Rocky Mount, Raleigh and other important centers has been facilitated and evolved in large measure through his preaching and influence. His ministerial passion accounts largely for one third of the active preachers of North Carolina Disciples having been trained or inspired by Atlantic Christian College within its relatively short history. After any considerable association with him, one becomes conscious of an intangible power that gives to his person- ality, in its motor aspects, a contagiousness. This is his moral and spiritual dynamic, the source of his inspirational leadership, recognized in general, but especially in his training of the ministerial students. Being a descendant of the ancient Huguenot Cauldwell Clan, the progenitors of Oliver Cromwell, one might reasonably expect in Dr. Caldwell a virility worthy of the name. This l a l B n 8 uilie Spine Knot I IHIIilliili'linillilltiiil iiinmimnTiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiira ■iiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiii� i he possesses decidedly; not the least of his charming qualities being his hatred of sham and cant, and that which smacks of the effeminate. His manliness, however, is obviously bal- anced with a modesty, constant and real, to student and faculty. His qualifications embrace that rare and sometimes decisively important virtue of versatility. In the opinion of a leading member of the faculty, he can do more things with a higher average proficiency than any college president she has ever known. That quality, however, which more than any other energized and effected his work, is the spirit of self sacrifice, animating him through- out the nine years to do a successful work against heavy odds, of an institution in its initia- tory stages. In passing, we pleasantly mention, as matters of fact, that the president of the first educational institution of academic rank in North Carolina that continued any considerable time, was Dr. David Caldwell, and the first President of the University of North Carolina was Dr. Joseph Caldwell. These two Caldwells were from collateral branches of the parental tree of our own President Jesse Cobb Caldwell. Thus, in North Carolina, the name descends as a traditional synonym of the highest educational ideals. The great- est Statesman of the Carolinas—John Caldwell Calhoun—was likewise a member of this distinguished family. These paragraphs of appreciation would be incomplete without reference to Mrs. Caldwell, who, in her steadfast devotion to highest domestic and institutional ideals, was a constant vitalizing factor in the college entity. The young men will remember especially, her gracious efficiency while resident in the dormitory, and the young women, her many gentle and gracious counsels. Elizabeth, too, blossoming into womanhood, will not be for- gotten; likewise Mildred, with her fascinating baby ways. Worthy of passing consideration is “Prince,” the college pony, the only “pony” allow- able in the institution. May he spend his remaining days contentedly in college service. President Caldwell, adieu! Regretfully, we see you go; yet you will not be gone, for your spirit will live within us, and we will build upon the foundations you have laid. Now, at the inevitable moment, the Blue and White of A. C. C. yields to the Blue and White of Drake, the Disciples’ mightiest institution. You go from the “Land of the Long Leaf Pine,” toward the setting sun, to the “Land of the Golden Rod,” to its metropolitan city, called in sobriquet, “The City of Certainties.” There, may your dynamic energy find its mightiest outflow in the channels of a cosmopolitan service, and we will cherish that in- destructible idealism of your nine years’ implanting, in the imperishable traditions of Atlantic Christian College. niiiiiiiillliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....ilium X 9 1 fi in; 1=1 lillilllllliillliiiillllllllliliillllllillllllllllllllll� (ilje Pin? 2Cnnt loath of ©ruattto ®rrm iixjrirrs 1915 George Hackney, Chairman ........

With that in mind, we have pur- posely omitted much of the printed matter in order to give place to a pictorial review. If this volume gives you a correct conception of our college life in its different phases and helps us to keep alive the memory of under- graduate days, then we shall feel that our thoughts, cares and labors have not been in vain. With this twofold object in view, the Pine Knot of 1916 is sent forth upon its mission by The Editors. a m. fine SCnnt TS (Dm Nnu ftoattont Hagmmtft A. rnith, A. HU 1. S. Dr. smith is a Hoosier, and after graduating at Vincennes University he entered Butler College, from which he was graduated in 1900. He immediately became the Pastor of the Kensington Christian Church in Philadelphia, and also a teacher in Elhanan Institute in that city for three years. He also found time to do some graduate work in philosophy in the University of Pennsyl- vania. In 1904, he returned to Butler and received his master’s degree, then entered Yale Divinity School, from which he was gradua- ted with B.D. degree in 1905. He was professor in Atlantic Christian College, 1906-07. During that year, he returned to Indianapolis and was married, and President and Mrs. Smith are very kindly remembered by the people of Wilson. As professor in that institution, he manifested such genuine interest in its affairs and showed such marked teaching and executive ability that President Harper often expressed the wish that he remain and become his successor. On account of business interest in Indianapolis, however, he was compelled to return to that city, where he was en- gaged in preaching and looking after his business until 1913. For the past three years he has been the executive head of Beckley Institute, Beckley, W. Ya. His vital interest in the secondary schools of the State has made him one of the State’s leading educators in the preparation of its teachers. He is also a factor in the development of the Christian Church in that State. Airs. Smith, with the three children, provides a charming home life for the president, while she has ever taken an active interest in the social and club life which has worked for the betterment of her community. The faculty and students were delighted with Dr. Smith’s recent visit to the college, and are very happy that one who has proven so successful and shown such executive ability has been found to be its head.

Raleigh, N. C. From the Dunn High School, Meta came four years ago with high anticipations of a successful college career. These anticipations have been realized, though the struggle was a long one be- cause she was one of the first graduates from her school, whose curriculum at that time was not an advanced one. Bravely has she won her spurs. “True as a needle to the pole Or the dial to the sun.” IRMA CANNON, A.B. Ayden, N. C. Four years ago, Irma came to us from the Ayden High School. She has been a faithful, earnest student, endearing herself by her quiet, unassuming ways and gentle humor. “A creature not too bright or good For human nature’s daily food ” ■ i a i e IPmmTT iru ■! mm 28 jilllililllliiiiliiiniilll'a IIIHIIIIIIilililliHllhiTIillilTrp (the pine 2Cnnt WILLA CHESTNUTT, A.B. Charlottesville, Va. From old Virginia, Willa came, after two years’ work at irginia Christian College. Four years of persistent effort has enabled her to win her degree and go triumphantly home. “If to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face and you’ll forget them all.” SALLIE HADLEY, A.B. WlLLIAMSTON, N. C. Sallie is a product of the Williamston High School who came with the “rep” of a fine student, and has proved worthy of this “rep.” Indeed, she has become so enamored with study and delv- ing into the depths ol philosophy, that she has decided “to climb to heights sublime,” and we wish her the most abundant success in her ascent. “Age cannot wither her, nor custom Stale her infinite variety.” 29 Hgglg i ’ — RUTH HARDY Waycross, Ga. From ’way down south, Ruth came three years ago and she has done excellent work. She grad- uates in both Voice and Expression. She has high ambitions, and hopes to cultivate still further both of her well known talents—if she is not enticed back to Wilson. “Sweet is every sound. Sweeter thy voice, but— Anv sound from thee is sweet.” JESSIE HODGES, A. B. Washington, N. C. Jessie is another girl who loves to stay at A. C. She came to us six years ago, a little girl, and last year received her diploma in Piano. She returned this year and gets her degree. Such courage and persistency are admirable. “Give me a look, give me a face That makes simplicity a grace.” . 30 Uihp Pine Svnnt ilillillllilllllilli SAMUEL M. JONES, A.B. Mesic, N. C. A little boy called “Sam'1 came to us live years ago, and has grown in stature, strength and knowledge as well as in the esteem of his faculty and comrades until now he is a full-fledged A.B. He is ready to begin his chosen profession of Medicine and all good wishes for his continued success attend him. “He hath indeed better bettered expectation.” ELIZABETH KINSEY Lagrange, N. C. Three years ago, came Elizabeth, who had spent a year at the Woman’s College in Richmond, Virginia. Her great delight and her pre-eminent talent is music. This talent she has cultivated assiduously; plays beautifully and graduates in Piano. She proves: “That though on pleasure she was bent She had a musical mind.” 31 Pin? 2vnnt 1— - = FANNIE MANNING, A.B. Williams ton, N. C. Four years ago, Fannie came to us from the Williamston High School with the “rep for brains which she has well sustained. She has absorbed so much philosophy, Bible and litera- ture, that we are inclined to think that her town will consider her a prodigy on her return and it behooves her to prove this true, but we sadly fear that Dan Cupid has marked her for his own. “Her eves are eyes of innocence. And her voice is soft and sweet. JOEL E. VAUSE Kinston, N. C. For some years, “Bro. Joel has been a stu- dent of A. C. C., taking both the academic and ministerial courses. He has also completed the course in Expression and receives his diploma at commencement. He returns next year to finish the required course for an A.B. degree, and the best wishes of the Class of 1916 are with him for his successful completion. “There is method in his madness.” fi M 32 RUTH WHITLEY Wendell, N. C. For four years, Ruth has specialized in her favorite study, Expression, and has completed her required course and graduates in it this year. She has also finished the English course in literature and has cultivated her literary taste to a fine appreciation of the beauties revealed in classic writers. “Her voice was ever soft and gentle and low, an excel- lent thing in woman.” 33 1 alje 33uTe Knot iHIje Pine iKnnt Mentor (Hlaas Jinm Come, comrades!

Caldwell over the lads and lasses assembled at Atlantic Christian College, there came to the land of Wilson, a large boy, a small lad in knee trousers and a still smaller girl in short dresses. Their names were respectively, Joel, Sam and Jessie. These three had a hard time during this initiative year, but in the sixth year of the aforesaid reign they were joined by a number of other boys and girls who came to enjoy all the glories of the Freshies. Well will they remember the skirmishes, fights—even battles that were waged upon their devoted heads. These were placed under the rule of the king’s hired servants (the faculty). They placed grievous burdens on these Freshmen, who rose up and went unto their beloved king, and said unto him: “0, king, the burdens of thy servants are too great to be borne. Grant unto us one day of rest from the hands of our masters.” And he said unto them: “Thou shalt continue thy labor as they have commanded thee. Go thy way.” Now, the Freshies were pricked in their hearts at this saying, and it came to pass, as the year drew nigh to a close and they, weary of their heavy yokes, arose in the night and said: “We shall have freedom, even if we disobey our king.” They passed from their walled rooms into the outer court, which opened into the classroom of one of their masters, and prepared a great feast. And it came to pass, while they gathered together the fragments, there stood in their midst one of their taskmasters—Mrs. Barham—both hearing them and asking them questions. And when they saw her they were amazed. She said unto them: “Why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold, I sought from whence the noise came, and find ye thus in your revel. Go to your rooms.” The next day while it was yet early, the Seniors arose in revolt, when they found their diplomas, which were in the classroom, had been ruined by these feasters. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth from the demerits that were heaped upon the innocent Freshies. But, in the seventh year of the reign of the aforesaid king, when the Sophomore Class assembled, familiar faces were missing, having grown weary under the rule of their over-lords. Some new faces were seen, which promised to add spice and excitement to the hitherto work-a-day, colorless existence of this brilliant class. As these toiled, their burdens were lightened, and they became famous in the eyes of the king. And it came to pass, in the eighth year of this honored king’s reign, when the Juniors were assembled, there were in all five and ten souls. To these, the king’s servants sought to give light as they, the Juniors, sat in dark- ness and in the shadow of ignorance to guide their minds into the way of knowledge. The class grew and waxed strong in mind and bod} . Now there arose in the hearts of the mighty Seniors, a desire to send forth an Annual which would proclaim their fame throughout the land. When lo! There came a voice from the Juniors saying: “O, mighty Seniors, it is a true report which we have heard in our own land of your saying, and of your wis- dom. We have tasks that ye know not of; let us, therefore, follow after the things which make for victory in the day when we shall be judged according to our works.” There came unto the king the voice of the Seniors crying: “O king! The Juniors do strive against us in our efforts.” But the strength of the Juniors prevailed. In the last year of our king’s reign, the Class of 1916—eleven in number—chose for themselves a leader, Samuel, and he and all his company did make much sacrifice of rest and peace for the work whereunto they had been called. It came to pass after five months of toil and examinations were passed, there went out from the king a decree unto the eleven which granted unto them many rights and privileges. And there was much gladness among them. And when they have performed ail things according to the law of the king, they will return each unto his own people. And this ends the brilliant history of the college career of this illustrious Class of 1916. But of its mighty doings in the far-reaching future, a stronger hand than mine will have to write. 19 15 .......................................................ii!iiiliiiiii!iiiililliiillliiiliilllilflilill!llllll|il!ll'iil!ii ■ 11M t!; 111! 1111! 11! 111111 1111111111111U1111 It 11111) 1! 111UI ]:' I i 11} 111111111111 !| 11111 (1 HlildlilillllliiM’iiiiiii 11 •- iMl imilfii 1111 . 111 tfij 3 She Pin? Hvttflt frnylifrij I AST summer, while attending the Pan-American Fair, 1 accidentally came upon an old man who was selling some articles to which he would give no name except, “a mystic globe.” Always having had a desire to know something of my future, I eagerly purchased a “'globe” at a price which seemed to me at that time very exorbitant. Since the globe has been in my possession, strange to say, I have never until this day had the courage to ask for a revelation of my own future. Realizing that our college life is nearing its close, and knowing that we might never know the future career of one another, I thought, since it was in my power to give this infor- mation, I owed this duty to my classmates, and for the first time, I sought aid from the “mystic globe.” When I locked the door of my room, I carefully took the globe from my trunk. Softly calling the name of one of my class- mates, Meta Barrington, I placed the globe on the table and breathlessly waited to see what would take place. Slowly, the globe began to revolve and dim outlines of figures appeared. I saw Meta sitting before a large audience. Imagine my surprise when I saw that the faces of the audience were all black As I looked, Meta arose and began delivering a lecture on “The Observance of Parliamentary Rules.” Then I understood—Meta had become a foreign missionary and had organized a very successful “Young Women’s Christian Association,” among the Africans. A slight mist overspread the globe, and when it cleared away, only two figures, a man and his wife, were visible. They were walking together across a large college campus. From the carriage and general appearance of one, he was easily recognizable as a college professor, but the other—surely I had seen that face—oh! I remember now, Willa Chestnutt. Reminiscences of former days at A. C. C. came over me, and there dawned upon me, for the first time perhaps, the real significance of the one grade in Philosophy so much higher than the others. Why had we not realized it before? A slight noise startled me and when I again turned my attention to the globe I noticed a great change. This time the scene was the interior of a church. A handsome blonde was arising to sing a solo. The sweet voice could belong to no other than Ruth Hardy. Then 1 noticed that the church looked familiar to me. Of course it did, the Methodist Church at Wilson—then a problem presented itself to me—all the members of our class were fond of A. C. C. and of Wilson, but why had Ruth chosen to remain there ten years after her graduation? A few moments’ thought helped me to realize that the college, even in Ruth’s Junior year, was not her only attraction at Wilson. Hearing a loud voice, I thought someone was at my door, but soon I perceived that the voice was altogether an imaginary one coming from a large tabernacle presented by the globe. A closer examination revealed an im- mense sign before the entrance; “J. E. Vause, Great Singer and Evangelist, Washington, D. C., Feb. I2th until April 1st.” I further learned through my mystic sphere that he had been holding meetings in all of the large cities of the United States and had been very successful, in spite of the fact that he discarded coat, collar and tie as he proceeded in his sermon. It took me several minutes to convince myself that this second Billy Sunday was “Bro. Joel ” Probably the difficulty partially lay in the fact that his disregard for looks was so utterly different from his attitude while at A. C. C. For a moment I allowed my mind to drift back to A. C. C., but only for an instant, because a slight click in the direction of the globe again drew my attention to it. This time I saw the front page of one of the best papers of New York City. There I read an account of the life of Miss Whitley, the successful playwright of the age, whose masterpiece was to be presented that night in one of the grandest opera houses of the city. The author, herself, was to take the part of the heroine. New York was raving over her plays and the public eagerly clamoring for more. At last, Ruth’s highest aspirations had been attained. She was loved by everybody. This scene glided from view and I saw the interior of a large hospital. A small figure dressed in white was silently going from cot to cot, administering medicine with gentle hands. Was it Irma? Well, why not? Why shouldn’t Irma be a trained nurse? Did she not get her first steps in training—that is in learning how to stay awake at night—at A. C. C.? It was only a natural outcome, but we should never have thought it. While I wras thinking m 15 IB mm 39 (Hit ptttf ik'not iiiiiiiiitnitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinilliiiiiiiiiiiiiiniii i '2.. IMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!, .. „ .

But what had he to do with my class? Ah! I understood now—Sam was rolling up his fortune with pills and quinine. Being anxious to learn the fate of my roommate, I must have whispered Jessie's name, for immediately the scene in the globe changed. This time showing a letter addressed as I had often seen Jessie address them. No— this time there was an “s” placed after the “Mr.” Jessie, of whom we all expected so much, had made only this matrimonial change. Her address was not Wilson, North Carolina, now, but New Wilson, Oklahoma, and Law- rence was there; hence, Jessie was not worrying over the past. By this time I wondered that none of my classmates were presiding over a school room. The next scene set my mind at rest by revealing that Fannie Myrt had chosen the teaching profession—or perhaps it would be more correct to say “one” of the teaching professions, and now resides at Greenville, N. C. Fain would I have learned more of Fannie’s future, but the globe continued its revolution and I saw this time a very familiar scene. Mr. Muilberger’s studio and Elizabeth Kinsey sitting at the piano—but where was Mr. Muilberger? In an instant it flashed over me that it was now Miss Kinsey’s studio. After several years’ studying in New York, she had returned to her Alma Mater and was successfully filling the position of Director of Music. By this time I felt that I had courage to learn my own fate. Anxiously slipping my chair nearer to the table, I jarred the globe slightly, which, making a final revolution, fell crashing to the floor. May that fateful crash have no significance as to my future. 1 9 1 fi ' H' ••iDiimiaMinniuniWMiim 3 TT ah? pn? 2C«nt rFTpin = Parting Mementos WE, the eleven Seniors, wish to distribute a few of our magic gifts, some owned individually and some collectively, to certain of our schoolmates, professors and friends. Not that we fear w'e will be forgotten unless we leave remembrances to those with whom we have been associated, that we do this. Far from it. We dispense these gifts for various reasons; namely, we like to see people happy and we know that any of our gifts will give joy to the recipients; again we realize the need that some will have for these gifts and the value they will be to the school of which the recipients are a part; finally, we no longer have need for many of these things we are giving away. Elizabeth, who at first would not even listen to the rest of the class when we suggested that she should give to Lillie Belle Hardison her “Penn,” has at last consented to part with this, her best loved possession, with the hope that Belle will not have the difficulty in making “it” write that she has had. Ruth Hardy’s box of rouge is to be given to Elizabeth Brown, who so closely follows in the footsteps of the donor that we find her the most deserving to receive the gift. The one provision is that it will be as carefully used as heretofore. Sallie, who holds the only diamond in the class, because of her love and admiration for Miss Lackey declares she will give it to none other than this teacher whom we kindly request never to tell the school girls that Mrs. Lackey purchased the ring with money received for a “pet cow.” One such experience last year has made the class wise on that subject. Jessie, innocent Jessie, we like her as she is, but we realize that she will have to be more self-asserting and bold after leaving her Alma Mater and, realizing also that Jessie’s innocent manner will be especially beneficial to some- one, we duly bestow this faculty upon the deserving Elsie Respass. Sam, who possesses a keen insight into others’ needs, kindly bestow's his “cinch” on Professor Kent upon John Waters. The entire class hopes this “cinch” will prove as beneficial to John as it has to Sam during the entire year. The class even more perhaps than the possessor, realizes that in giving Willa’s philosophical talent we are be- stowing upon the recipient, Lill Chapman, a most wonderful gift. We wish to give to Lill special caution. Endeavor to use the gift with as much skill as it has been used by its former owner. To Herbert Quinerlv we bestow a voice; one that can in low tones plead for the hearts of fair maidens, can sonorously call to order the noisiest of student meetings, can lead the chapel hymns and Lorelei Chorus and, finally, in an oration win the hearts of judges. Would it be superfluous to say that this voice has heretofore belonged to our classmate, Joel Vause? Irma, with her usual timidity, requests that her dry wit be given to one she feels to be especially needy in this particular commodity—Mildred Harper. Ruth hitley has had double care during her whole college career. Besides the natural protection of her Alma Mater, her affectionate and careful relatives, Misses Fannie and Myrtie Harper, have attended to her every need and desire. Since their assistance can no longer followr their generous hearted niece, Ruth bestows upon her cousin, Grace Holiday, the kindly care of those relatives. Meta desires that we bestow upon two of her chums and schoolmates, Mary Richardson and Maude Russell, a package of letters received at stated intervals from September, 1915, to January, 1916. The package will be found by lifting a plank of the attic floor under the electric light and are to read by them next year when suffering from the blues with the hope that the poems contained therein will cheer their lovesick hearts. Fannie, because she has used all her wit, physical ability and intelligence, save what she deemed wrise to keep for use in her new life, finds no gift other than herself to bestow upon some fortunate one. Considering her request iiIMIIIIilllllliMlliiliiiilliillilii!llliillltliiliiiiriili!|iiy 19 16 ltllfr 41 aiir 2Cnnt that she belong to Professor Peele, we nod approval only with sad hearts, and after considering his frequent letters and anxious and constant visits in trying to keep her from overwork. To Professor Muilberger, we give our best wishes that he may be able to train Maude and Olga to practice as studiously as Sallie and Fannie have done. Upon Miss Salmon, wishing to bestow a gift that will give her a taste of the joy that we have been to her, we have had all our English essays, sketches and themes compiled and these are for our English teacher alone. ’Tis sweet to us, even now, to think of the praise she will give us when telling other classes how such work should be done. To the Juniors we wish to bestow our superior faculty of intelligence. Knowing that the class of next year will be unable to utilize all of this abundant gift, we have provided a list to whom the superfluous intelligence shall be distributed. These are John Rose, Mary Proctor, Ada Gray Dixon, Hervey Vendrick, Rosalind Taylor, Hannah Daniels, Charlie McCotter, Juanita Crockett, Ben Mattox, Ethel McArthur, Fred Wells, Oscar Mattox, Annie Deans, Leamon Whorton. We also bestow upon the Juniors the following privileges: taking long walks, going unchaperoned into drugstores, receiving gentlemen callers once a month, taking lower class girls downtown during the week; and the new' one, our exclusive right of going unchaperoned to moving picture shows. This privilege we deem it best not to give to others. Please do not consider us selfish in withholding this benefit, but w e fear that others might not as conscientiously use this privilege as we have done. And above all else, we hold dear the interest and honor of our Alma Mater. Other Seniors have bestowed their dignity on certain schoolmates, but we find this unnecessary, as we have already diffused their dignity over the w'hole student body. Our love and faithful loyalty we divide between our Alma Mater, the faculty, and Dr. and Mrs. Caldwell and familv. The last share to be taken with them to their new' field of labor. 1 0 1 fi ! ’ ■' ’' 11 i: r U11 • i M:::! 1 :■ Tiilii 42 Ptttp SCnat LILL CHAPMAN Grifton, N. C. Lill loves to stay with us. She was here four years and graduated in Music last year. She came back this year and doubled in English and took post work in Music. She says now that she is going to stay at home, but we hope she will return, for we will miss her sadly. “Time still as he flies adds increase to her truth, And gives to her mind what he takes from her youth.” ALICE PRIVETTE Wilson, N. C. Alice also received her diploma in Piano last May, but with her usual good judgment, returned to college last fall and continued the regular academic course that leads to an A.B., and takes graduate work in Music. She is a fine student, and we are glad to have her with us. In two more years she will win her degree and be an accomplished pianist. “Heart on her lips and soul within her eyes.

She returned with a gentle, willing spirit and completed her Junior work with one or two additional Senior courses and added Art to her course. Next year she will continue her study in Art, and finish the required work and receive a well merited decree. MAUDE RUSSELL, T7, A.B.

Her con- scientious observation of all rules, lady-like deportment, unassuming manner and fine work have won her an en- viable reputation. Next year, if all is well, she receives her degree and returns to her beloved “Palmetto State.” 1 fl 1 t I X zi X JJ r I'illllllllllllllllllllllllllllnliH '' 46 i he pin? 2Cnnt CLEM BRIDGES, ’17, A.B. “The rose is fairest when ’tis budding new.” Clem began her collegiate course three years ago, and soon convinced the faculty that she was as good a student as her sister who had just graduated and had made a fine record. When Clem gets her degree in 1917, she will probably be the youngest graduate who has ever received an A.B. degree at Atlantic Christian College.

Mil a ftp $JutP IK not i nphmttnrr flnrm In the land where the long leaf pine abides, Is a college where many a student resides. By the name of A. C., which has students quite gay, Who remain from September till late in May. Of all the classes none quite can excel The one now of which I am going to tell. It is called the Sophomore Class, you see, Just one step above the poor “Freshie.” Perhaps, as our class is very small, And there’s only one boy in the class—that’s all, You would like to know' just who are we— We Sophomores striving to win a degree. There’s Alice, a very bright maid, you knowr, Wears a smile wherever you meet her; And everywhere that Alice goes, She’s accompanied by her “Nita.” Lucy Brothers, almost a Sophomore in Art, Is always as happy as a meadow' lark; Especially when “Slickums” does ask for a date From this little maid of the “safety eight.” Mary and “Hessie” I surely must mention, Twro jolly game sports, beyond comprehension, The first from Grimesland, the last from Dunn, Who are usually “broke,” and crying for “mon.” Blanche is a cheerful and brilliant young Miss, Who studies and seldom her lesson does miss. Her manner is pleasing and w'ins for her, friends Who indeed will always be true to the end. Grace is a student, sincere and true, Who is usually happy, and never blue L nless “Bob’’ forgets to write That letter to her, yes, every night. Elsie, dear girl, means to study her lesson. For she wants to get a degree in Expression, But always her mind does wander to “Lappin,” ’Tis strange, yet true, but this always happens. Olga Dardin is very bright and gay, And rooms this year with her old chum “Grey.” Winsome is she, in esteem by all held, And her common expression is, “Oh, do tell.” Now here comes “Peachy,” bringing up the rear, Her eyes are always bright and her voice is clear, And to show that vanity is not in her mind, This verse was written by one who is kind. There’s only one male to adorn the class— “Abe” is not least though placed at the last. To be a preacher he doth aspire, But a greater hit he would make in a choir. Now, thirteen verses this poem does possess, But don’t let that worry you, just keep your mind at rest. “ Sophomore, Sophomore, yes you bet Sophomore, Sophomore, we’ll win yet.

Keep them in this solution about three months, applying frequent tests. At Christmas, let them out for two weeks, but subject them to rigid examinations as soon as you get them back. After that, it might be well to strengthen the solution by adding two or three other courses. Keep them in close confinement, except for a few days in April when they have not fully awakened. Repack and keep till the last of May when the weather is so warm that it is safe to let them go for three months. Repeat the process from year to year. Result: Many will have fallen by the wayside, but of those left there will be at least one very effective adding machine, two dictionaries, an encyclopedia, a jumping jack or two, and several professional blockheads.

President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer mpmbpra ®ljr S tuiUmt Unby THE spirit and interest manifested here in college athletics are unexampled anywhere. The athletic spirit is of a finer grade than is usually seen in colleges in that it brings all eligible candidates out to try for the teams. This participation is conducive to bodily health and development, which should be the good of all college sports. The athletic association consists of the whole student body, and is splendidly organized under the direction of the faculty. There are three distinct departments of the association. These are: the tennis department, the basketball department, and the baseball department. The tennis department has a Boys’ Tennis Club and a Girls’ Tennis Club, each with an organization of its own. Tennis is a favorite sport among the students in the fall and spring, and the courts are incessantly in use. The basketball department has two divisions—a Girls’ Team and a Boys’ Team. These are under their managers, coaches and captains, selected at the first of the season. Much enthusiasm and rooting is displayed at the games, and this spirit of all “pulling together” has caused many a forlorn hope to be changed to a victory. With Mr. Cozart, a former student, as coach for this year’s baseball team, and with much promising material with which to work, we are expecting a very successful season. All players must be bona fide students, and any taint of professionalism in the players is not tolerated. 19 15 riiiiiiiiiiiHiniiMii 128 Moxjb’ lasketball Ben Mattox J. B. Farmer, Jr. Penn Watson .

It is up to date, and furnishes necessary information in Theology, Science, History, English, Philosophy, etc. In connection with the library is a reading room well supplied with leading magazines and daily papers. Many busy and happy hours are spent with these books and magazines, in order that there may be the best possible growth. = all iiiniiMlIllinlilllillW | 1 il X H I inili!HWiiii!1llli will iint ■ lllllll ' Hill, 134 m ..........................................................................................................niillin......ii;!!llll,n!jl|!iimiH!l|ii!il pin? 5Cnut llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll[|llilllllli||ll!lll!llllllllllllllllllllll!llll)l!!ll[l!llli;|i!lllllllllllllllll)llllll!liilllllllllllll[lll]lll!iil,l:i rn iUuatttgH nf an Alumnus THE dream of the college student in the Freshman year is not so much of social life, student body honors, athletic starring, making a hit with the Faculty or even standing high in the estimation of some certain individual, as it is of that one great prize that stimulates him to enter the race and run it with patience—his Diploma. The vision of that to be gained at the end of four years’ drudgery causes everything else to be eclipsed and grow insignificant. Then the realization of the hard, stern facts of college work, with all of its attendant hardships tends to increase the desire of the Freshman to finish his years of toil and enter upon life’s duties—a finished product. As the years drag on, the student yearns more and more to reach his goal and end his course. This desire often blinds one to the real appreciation of the greater joys of college life. It is not until the opening of college the next autumn that the graduate begins to realize that his college days are over; and these days, never to be forgotten and never to be relived, have completed a finished chapter in his life—and perhaps the most important chapter, too. And, as the months roll on and reports begin to reach one of the student body activities; basketball, tennis and other athletic sports around the old familiar campus, society activities, receptions at which some other fellow is receiving the attention of the “wee sweet damsel” whose time you monopolized the night you won the honor for your Society, amid a clash of oratory or argument that would have excited the envy of a Demosthenes or a Socrates;—when she wore off the medal that you had spent the whole winter in trying to win and with it the bouquet of flowers your Society presented to you, and you lay awake the rest of the night after the reception was over thinking of all the pretty things your friends had said about you and wondering if a Certain One was at that time sighing on a mid- night pillow which covered the tiny piece of gold that your energy had placed there. Yes, these and hundreds of other scenes and incidents assail one’s mind as he thinks of the many incidents of college days that in their realiza- tion seemed to be such very commonplace and very little things. Thus, as I sit alone to-night and think of the old familiar scenes and festivities of the seasons never to be re- lived, I am reminded that though out in the world with its glitter and applause where honors are given and taken; where festivities are the order of the season and responsibility is promoting mature manhood and womanhood; that the applause that sounded loudest and touched deepest and abides now while the regard for the more recently earned honors is passing away, were the applause and honors won in the dear old dayrs at A. C. C. This musing blends into a dream, as I sit before the dy'ing embers. Ah! there appears before me the faces of those I know so well and have learned to love more and more as the years have rolled by' since we toiled together in the halls of our Alma Mater. As I look upon these pictures, flitting before me in the twilight shades, and the memories of the days gone by are revived, the firelight’s glow- and the music of its sparkling roar attracts the Muse to my ear and causes her to touch her sweetest note upon the poet’s lyrre; aye, even time has turned back in her flight and I again am the college poet just for to-night. Vergil sung of arms and of heroes. That same theme stirs my soul to-night as there passes down the aisles of my memory the images of my college mates as vividly as they passed down the halls of A. C. C. Each one arouses a poet’s verse as they appear. Lo! who comes here. Ah! ’tis none other than who I thought: Mrs. G. A. Patterson, nee, Mary Moy'e: “Aye, faithful to her task was she— And faithful still to A. C. C. Noble, true in thought and deed, In all of life she will succeed. “Glad were the days of college fun! We wish ’twere now that they'’d begun. You always have and e’er will be Enshrined in mem’ries of A. C. C. ” Yes, Mary, you will recall those happy day's, as will many' others at college. We have met around the festal board since those student day's and happy' has been the occasions when the fellowship of winters past has been renewed. Not one of us but who would rejoice at the opportunity' to turn the hand of time back a space and live again those student day's. But one visage blends into another, even while I muse! Behold! another face is formed. Who appears here? Why, Mary Anderson. Well, may I ask if you rejoice in the memories of our student day's? Yes, what does she say: “Happy' were my' college days,— As happy as could be. I hear the song bird’s roundelay's, His chirruping in the tree. I well recall the rising bell, The closing bell at night, These memories I love so well, They’ll ne’er be put to flight. m i 1 8 1 fi 135 I ;uiiilllililiiillllliiiillillliiiilliiiiim 7T1, , - H : ''i;.' rrfmrniTMmTPiii 11 nirmfniurfnfiriiTimTTwiiTTTpinnn'fTi nrmriTiTmfTmiifflinMiTrrnimnnii L X? 13UIP IMllU | “’Twas bells at morning, noon and night, 1 1 = How harsh then was their sound, But music now by no means slight i That makes our hearts rebound.’’ 1 We were happy then, each and all, though we did not realize and appreciate it. = i But while I muse upon this face so familiar and known so well to the Alumni, it fades before my gaze and 1 another appears in its stead. Who is this but Hattie Dailey? Earlv was the age of the college you honored in 1 1 your youth. Happy were the days spent there with those you knew and have learned to love better with the I EE increasing years of separation. What has the real experiences of life taught you as to the appreciation of the valued 1 influence of A. C. C. and the ties formed there? The answer couched in poetic form must be: i 1 “Happy the days beneath the trees, 1 Around the Campus, too, I == Cool and refreshing was the breeze; | == The skies were summer blue. The friends I made were stanch and true; 1 | The ties that bind are strong; t- = Those college days, clear through and through, = 1 I Were right and never wrong.” = 1 Ah! a burst of sparks changes the figure and whose is it that appears instead but Mrs. Clay Andrews, once m | Ruth Howard. Then, Ruth, what is your estimate of the student days? Again the Muse sings: M = “Give me once more a dav of the past = I On the Campus of A. C. C. | 1 And gather around me, friends,—’till the last 1 I One of old times I see. = EE Let’s sing the songs that once did cheer = EE Our hearts in other days. e§ i We know no sigh and have no fear, == 1 So loud our voices raise. 1 §j The song ceases and a happy throng of former students fade from view until all are gone but one. Who is = she? Why, Clyde Farmer, now Mrs. Palmer Harris. May I ask you to testifv as to the abiding impressions of 1 your college days?

C. C. Were years of toil and stress. No battle could there ever be ’Along soldiers as hard to press! But on we toiled through sun and shower— Undaunted, unafraid. Discouragement could never cower; Nor courage be gainsaid. So on we fought and prayed and toiled, The battle sure to win. At last our banner raised unsoiled, We did the march begin! “And often now my memory turns To scenes that haunt me-still, And in my heart a longing burns. And doth my bosom fill, To live once more ’mong comrades there As in the days gone by— And once again our blessings share. These mem’ries ne’er shall die.” Yes, that's the song I knew you would sing as you dream of the days of old. The ties once formed at A. C. C. shall never be severed and we will keep the memories green until life’s race is run. But another shower of sparks hides you from my view, and the faces of other comrades pass so rapidly in suc- cession that the Muse sings only a stanza as they pass before my enchanted view. Whose is the face that beams out of the firelight’s glow just now? Why, it is none other than the face of Sallie May Wilson! Well, what is your song from the embers’ glow? Listen to the stanza sung: “Happy were the days we spent In the halls of A. C. C. Deeply lies all that they meant; And blessed e’er will be. The influence that came my way. The ties there formed abide— And ever shall my future sway, No matter what betide.” Another face, another song! Well, it is the face of Ersie Walker, now Airs. Dunlap Neely. Listen to her song: “The days that in my girlhood passed In music halls so gay, Were those that in my mem’ry fast Abide until to-day.” While the song rolls, the sparks hide this face to reveal another, the face of Alabel Jones, who is now wearing the name of Airs. J. H. Chinnis. I know you have a song of cheer for old time’s sake. What is it? “Adusic, friends, and all good cheer Ring out in song so clear. The faces of those friends of old Wake mem’ries ne’er grown cold, As often as I think of days Of happiness that bides always.” Whose is the face that presents itself but that of Sue Yelverton, who is now Mrs. C. S. Eagles! Well, Sue, what can you say? “School days, happiness supreme,— I love thy memory still. On me my comrades’ faces beam, Sweet dreams my heart e’er fill.” And beside Adrs. Eagles there appears no other face than that of Elizabeth Eagles, now Mrs. Ivey Smith. So you, too, have a song to sing, yes: “The sweetest scenes of girlhood days That linger with me evermore, As on life’s mem’ry book I gaze Are those, my college days of yore.” IF. 1 9 1 fi 111111H HI! 11H H1111111111 I I i 111111 i 11 !■ 111111 ....... 137 B a he pine ICttnt liuiLiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiininHiiiuiiiiiiiiiiir mm! : l|li)lilll!Mlim:;3MIII!i;ill« .. HiUHyil 1 But there are two others of the Class of 1910 who appear before me now, and they are really the faces of Verdie Noble and Mary Edwards. How like the olden days to see the familiar faces of these old school mates before me! Well, what have you to say in behalf of A. C. C. ? “Our days have every one been filled, Since out of school we’ve been; But e’er those songs and scenes have thrilled— And bide with us as they did then—” And as these faces sink from sight in the glowing coals, behold, the entire Class of 1911 glides into view. Are they all here? Let’s see: A es, there is Lossie Davis, Mattie Phillips (who is now Mrs. Eugene Wood), Mattie Neely, Harriett Settle, Georgia Howard, Elsie Gardner, Carrie Lewis and Ann Estelle Griffin. Well, this is a loyal group of Alumni. I know they have a song to cheer: “Come, comrades, join now hand in hand, We’ll sing a song of cheer As once again, the happy band, Our graduating year We were and ever more shall be. In loyalty we'll stand, Until the end, by A. C. C. A happy, trusting band.” Well, the song of this class has scarcely died away and the faces faded from view before the Class of 1912 passes before me. There is the whole quintet. A well remembered class! We will listen to what they have to say: “College days, college days, bright and full and gay— We long again to turn our steps Unto thy realms and walk thy way. We cherish highly thy precepts, And are guided by them day by day.” Such expressions could come only from a class composed of J. J. Walker, Kenneth B. Bowen, Horrace H. Settle, Carrie Bowen and Agnes Spain, who is now Airs. Horrace Settle. But another class of equal recognition present themselves to view. This is the Class of 1913 and is com- posed of Susie Grey Woodard, Elsie Langley, Sallie Bridges (now Mrs. Henry Scott), Lillie Hewitt and Eunice Andrews. Listen to what this class have to say. “Let time turn back for once in its flight, And take us to college just for to-night. There let us sing and play as of old— Where joys we experienced, aye, blessings untold.” Aye, the group now presenting themselves are those of my own class, the Class of 1914. Yes, we are not altogether forgotten. Of course we have a song to sing! Just listen to the rhyme of Ben Oden, Blanche Wells, Kathryne Wells, Elsie Pugh, Alice Privette and the dreamer: “Of all the happy days we’ve spent, Our college days are best. Our gratitude no pen can vent For time we did invest Within thy walls, oh, A. C. C., So we will sing thy praise, And sacred shall thy memory be; Loud, loud our songs we’ll raise.” Ah! there is but one more group that can appear and that is the Class of 1915, composed of Henrietta Moye, Fannie A4oye, Mary Belle Smith, Bessie Hodges, Jessie Hodges, Hattie Hodges and Lill Chapman. They say: “Oh! college grand, our A. C. C., We’ll ne’er erase thy memory, Nor lose a single song, But ever blest our lives shall be; And ever true, yes, true to thee, Our service doth belong.” Well, my dream is ended and the songs of these classes and individuals have died away. But their memories linger still. It may have been that we were once anxious to get out into the whirl and din of the world’s battle, but since getting there we have begun to see what happiness was ours while in the college family. So let each of us be loyal to the institution that has started us successfully on life's path. First Christian Church Belhaven, N. C. Adarch 21, 1916.

The faculty and Senior Class constituted the receiving line. A short program was rendered and refreshments were served. It is with deep regret we note that illness necessitates the absence of Prof, and Mrs. E. L. Barham from the college this year. Prof. Barham resigned his work before Christmas last year, and was unable to return at the opening of the session. The Annual Hallowe’en Party was given on the 29th of October. This occasion always brings joy to the student body. It is just long enough after the opening of school for Cupid’s poisoned arrows to afflict their victims. For- tune telling was a specialty. The decorations and refreshments were suggestive of the season. Since the opening of school we hear of the marriage of two of the former members of the faculty. On Novem- ber 15th, Miss Elizabeth Ford, former Professor of Language in Atlantic Christian College, was married to Air. VV. C. Cooper at her home in Georgetown, Ky. On November 3d, several of the members of our faculty attended the marriage of Miss Meta LTzzle of Wilson’s Mills, N. C. Miss Uzzle was Assistant Art and Pianoforte Professor in A. C. C., several years ago. Wednesday, November 15th, was a momentous day in the history of the literary societies of the college. The girls’ and boys’ societies had been separated for two years, and the faculty decided better work would be done under the old regime. Bonfires, yells and Hag-raisings were campus features of the evening. On Thanksgiving evening, from eight until eleven o’clock, the girls of the Hesperian Society entertained the faculty and Alethian Society in honor of the Hesperian boys. The reception hall was decorated in the society colors, red and white, and this color scheme was carried out throughout the evening. Games were played, but the main feature of the evening consisted of contests. Refreshments of cream, cake and mints were served. The Alethian Society girls were at home to the faculty and Alethian boys in the College Library, Monday evening, November 22d. The receiving line was composed of the officers of the society. Musical selections were rendered and games were played. Punch, and chocolate and divinity fudge were served. All too soon the time for departure arrived. After the boys’ and girls’ societies were combined into the literary societies, the boys realized the necessity of a debating club for their own benefit. On 'Tuesday night, December 7th, the young men, assisted by several members of the faculty, effected the organization of the Adelphian Debating Club. They have a zeal for loyalty and work. According to custom, the forces of the two societies were mustered February 22d to cheer the two representa- tive orators from each society. Representing the Alethian Society were Tom Mattox and Joel E. Vause. Repre- senting the Hesperians were Ernest Paschali and Carlyle Dempsey. The palm was awarded to the Alethians, and a page of literary society was turned. For various reasons a Y. W. C. A. has not been a part of our college until this year. During November, the young ladies, assisted by Misses Humphrey and Lackey, effected a promising organization. The organization began its work with a membership of one hundred per cent of the young ladies. The topics and leaders for each meeting were chosen for the whole year. Some of the topics discussed are “A Clean Page,” “Spiritual Muscle,” “The Power of Thoughts,” “Opportunities for Service,” “Importance of Ideals,” and “The Easter Triumph.” The meetings are held every Sunday evening at six o’clock and are doing much to elevate the spiritual life of our young ladies. Many of the members are taking part and are interested in the association work.

I just look at the towel.” Abe: “Boys, do you think we will have a shower tonight?” A Voice: “We won’t, but you will be better off if you do.” Elsie: “Tell me, am I the first girl you ever loved?” Warren: “Yes, my dear.” Elsie: “I thought so. Well, go away and don’t come back until you get some experience.” “Tonight,” announced the leader of the Ministerial Association, “Mr. Waters will read a paper on The Devil.’ Please be prompt in attendance, for Brother Waters has spent much time on the paper and is full of his subject.” Miss Humphrey: “Mr. Quinerly, what is a synonym?” Quinerly: “A synonym is a word you use when you don’t know how to spell the other one.” Brown: “‘Kow,’ does collect and congregate mean the same thing?” “Kow”: “They may. But from my experience, there is a vast difference in a congre- gation and a collection.” Prof. Lappin (on Physics): “Mr. Walker, is the water in your home town hard or soft?” “Bush”: “It must be hard.

He has traveled and worked among many of the leading Professional Studios of America, as well as having personally conducted some up-to-date and artistic galleries of the country. He is a member of the Tri-State Association of Photographic Artists of Virginia and the Carolinas, which fact is a high recommendation within itself. During the six years he has been established at Wilson he has taken the place of Wilson’s leading Photographer in that he has displayed some of the most artistic workmanship, of which this city has reaped the benefit. Mr. Foust has been the photographer for Atlantic Christian College for six years, and in view of that fact we feel capable of speaking in behalf of his ability and commending him to the public as an artist from the standpoint of natural ability, thorough training, and broad experience. His work will give satisfaction in a high degree. We heartily invite the attention of our readers to the photo- graphic work displayed in this book, and then allow them to decide whether we are just in commending Mr. Foust, Wilson’s Leading Photographer, to the Public 3 Do You Know— On What Correct Prescription- Compounding Depends? Correct prescription-compounding depends absolutely upon knowledge and experience. The better knowledge and longer experience the druggist has, the more capable he is in selecting only those drugs which are most powerfully potent and give-us the greatest degree of medical purity. The better knowl- edge and longer experience the druggist has, the more capable he is in com- pounding remedies, because in this work, as in all walks of life, it is experience and knowledge that count.

It was organized by Doctors C. E. Moore and Albert Anderson and operated by the firm Moore and Anderson. The following year the old building wras moved off the site and a larger and more appropriate building was erected on the same site. In 1902 Dr. E. T. Dickinson purchased one-third interest in the institution, and it was then operated as a private hospital by the firm of Moore, Anderson and Dickinson until 1907, when Doctors Moore and Dickinson purchased Dr. Ander- son’s interest. It was then operated as a private institution by the firm of Moore and Dickinson until February, 1913, when Dr. A. F. W illiams purchased the interest of Dr. Moore. The establishment since then and at present is operated by the firm of Drs. Dickinson and Williams as a private institution. The institution has enjoyed a good reputation and patronage, which have steadily increased throughout its history. At the present time it is being modern- ized by numerous changes in the interior, such as placing electric elevators, lab- oratory apparatus, etc. The equipment is capable of accommodating twenty-five to thirty patients. It is located in the most attractive part of the city, adjoining the largest and most modern hotel. Drs. Dickinson and W illiams are the College Physicians and strong friends of the Atlantic Christian College. 13 H ' � • • d sf M'... . 1 ,‘v , o.' j-u ST lz? •• ' rVf' 'SI lv’ ? •. • fi H
