C. C. has been our object in preparing this hook; and we hope it will have a living message for you. With pen and pencil and paper and kodak and honest effort has been given to each phase of life here. Look through it, and if you see errors, attribute them to our inability, and not to our insincerity. May this volume prove a perennial recall of the pleasant days we have spent here together.

As summer sheds her wealth on all From Sophomores words of wisdom fall, The fullness of this time o year Is like their wit, so sparkling, clear. As in its glory comes to fall, With ripening grain, rich stores for all, So, Juniors rich in learning, lore, Add wisdom to their bounteous store. Then come the quiet winter days, When songs are sung in solemn lays So are the Seniors, stately, true. Filled with joys past and hopes anew. e 4 OUR ALMA MATER Alma Mater, Alma Mater, If e will ever sing thy praise, Alma Mater, .lima Mater, And the good old college days. Of our lives you had the molding In your strong and ready hands. Ever some new leaf unfolding From it's then enclosing bands. As the rose is slowly opened By the magic of the sun, By a slow but steady process. So your work teas ever done. Every day you taught a lesson. Every day a victory icon. Till your loyal sons and daughters Sing your praise from sun to sun. You have made no perfect roses Though your work has been well done, For the bud which you were opening ft as marred ere you begun. You have made some loyal mothers. You have made some soldiers brave. You have filled our souls with longing Every darkened soul to save. You have made our lives worth living, You have taught our lips to smile. You have filled our hearts with sunshine And we love thee all the while. Alma Mater, Alma Mater, You were e'er a friend in need. Alma Mater, Alma Mater, Our hearts are thine, indeed.

C. q i 1 m Since our lives are measured in deeds not words, it will be fair to recount some of the achievement of the last few months that we hope will make for progress in the history of our Alma Mater. We ought to note first the enlarging place our school has recently been made to occupy in the minds of the people of the Carolinas. The Carolina Enlargement Campaign stressing as it did financial goals and aims also rendered the college a great service in the publicity it received. As token of this awakened interest in many places, letters come almost daily from prospective students whose interest in many cases we are sure was evoked by the campaign. What great progress can Atlantic Christian College have made than that boys and girls of the right type should be attached to us? In manv places children yet in the grades are looking toward us as a training place and parents are giving promise that they will be here. There were two other forward steps taken in the summer that deserve men- tion—the summer school and the repairs. The six weeks’ summer school was un- dertaken at the solicittation of the State Department of Public Instructor and was given its full approval. It was not a large school but it was a good one and it really had the A. C. C. spirit. The sttudents worked hard some of those sweeltering hot July and August days, yet they enjoyed their stay they said and many came to the office with expressions of goodwill for our college. Their goodwill was not taken out in talk either for they sent us some good students. After the summer school was over the improvements which had been planned to be made in three months was put on and rushed through in three weeks. We did not get all we deserved or needed but some things are better as a result of the sev- eral thousand dollars we expended. But the suummer, important, busy, and rushed as it was could be only a side isue to the big thing that came early in September. And by the way the happenings of the day were themselves a proof of progress. The great inrush of new students and the return of so large a proportion of those who had been here before marked the birth of a new7 spirit of loyalty and cooperation, which is both progress and as- surance of further progress. It reduces us to mere figures should we attempt to give numbers of students. Our increase in attendance was almost one-third but that cannot represent all the progress we've made. The whole of it can be represented only in that indefinenable thing that we call college spirit of morale or enthusiasm. That subtle feeling that you are working with a something that is something that counts. That progress has become apparent in class work, athletics and most student activities. Splendid ex- amples of this spirit can be found in some of the departments and their public per- formances and exhibits. True it hasn't all been progresive, we’ve suffered our re- verses and retrograding movements, but the main tendency has been forward and upward. Th is is not to recount all the things that are forward looking. It is enough however to bring us to this thought that progress must continue or a slump is in- evitable. Shall we not continue our advance into next year with a better college than we ever dreamed of in our wildest fancy? H. S. Hilley. Ita 1 Born ;it Acvvorth. Chi., Sept.

C.. and the great held designated her. Dean Mil lev o c? is a young man of pleasing personality, farsighted, open-minded and he has Professor oj Education A. B., Drake University, 1894; A.

Professor Grim is very much interest- ed in the subject of Education—both as a teacher and as a scholar. He has had strong convictions, and a dee]) and abiding faith in Cod and his feilowman. O He is a man of fine executive ability and is wanted in the world of big business. However, he has dedicated his talents and life's service to the Kingdom of God, and has definitely committed him- self to the task of enlarging and equip- ping A. C. C. extensive training in this line of work. ETHEL McDIARMID GRIM, A. M. FRANCES F. HARPER. A. B. Professor of English Graduate of Bethany College. 1897; A.

In order to fully appreciate Mrs. Grim, a person must have one of her courses in English. In addition to the important facts gathered from her lec- tures one soon discovers this outstanding r O characteristic ‘ That she means what she says”. The Expression Department also owes much to her faithful labor, and the beauty of the Dramatic Club room is due to her efforts.

Everyone loves Miss Fannie '. She not only assi-ts students in solving their class-room problems, but those outside as well. She has a wonderful way of winning the confidence of people, and as a result, has meant to us the ‘“friend indeed on many occasions. ithout her A. C. C. could not be quite the same. PERRY CASE, A.

To find one person who is always the same let us utrn to Mr. Case. He possesses that rare individualistic touch which wins for him many friends. Each person who comes in contact with him feels that a personal interest has been shown by him. He has a wonder- ful way of keeping his students awake even during the sleepiest hours of the day. We are sure with his diligent effort the House over the way, will be the handwork of a “Case, and his study will be a favorite haunt for the “philos- phic thinkers. He shows a good visual memory, when he says, “Let's see, its on the left hand page, the last paragraph from the bottom down in the corner. V.

Jefferson Medical Col- lege, Philadelphia, 1920; Present position 1920-1921. Dr. Wooten, or ' King Wooten,’ as he is known to some, came to A. C. C. in September with exceptional ability for his work. In the class room he makes every one feel that work is neces- sary, for at the most importune moment he surprises you with, “Name for me the twelve cranial nerves, please. He has a winning personality and both faculty and students admire and esteem him. He has given us many proofs of his skill as a physician of the body, and soon we fear he will have to heal hearts. We know success awaits him in his medical profession for he thinks, as all others think, that his profession is the summun bon urn. S. LEE SADLER r Head of Department in Social Science Graduate of A.

Mr. Sadler is loved by all the stu- dents for he has not forgotten his school days. He is especially popular when he conducts chapel. We have learned to look forward to those days, for we are sure something interesting is in store for us. SENIOR CLASS POEM Amid bright hopes and joys untold Our class of 21 uas born. Taking honor as our goal We push on to more beyond, Tho' the radiant sure of the juture, Many times did not brighten our way, The glowing flame of discontent Led us on to this starting day. Awake! Awake! My comrades true Stop your dreaming, much must be done, The juture bright hopes holds for you, In the west sinks the glowing sun. Hasten! Prepare! Others on yon depend. Will you not make clearer the way? Yes, rise class of 21, mend With love this broken chord, today. Hasten! Salute the task with a smile, For within you hidden talents lie waiting The world gives the acid test. But you are made of stuff for winning. Win you must! Win you will! For leaders in a cause you be. You are the gold, glistening still From the melting pot of A. C. C. Hail to you! Class of 21, Bound with friendship's tie, Not a day wasted, nor an hour gone, Where do not cherished hopes lie. No more is our goal only honor, But changed it must be anon, Dear to us is our Alma Mater, Yet, there's more beyond, more beyond. A. M, HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS It Custom demands and A. C. C. approves that the history of the class of 1921 shall not go down unwritten; such perfect years of joy and happiness mixed in with hard work and misfortunes seem months to us rather than years. Never were four years spent more profitable, nor more pleasantly than these that have just passed; and if each of us live the life of Methuselah, the years which stand out more distinctly to us than all the others, will he those spent at A. C. C. Our Freshman year seems almost a dream to us, and some parts of it like a nightmare, and a horrible one at that. How green we were! And what fun the old students had! However after a few weeks had passed, and the Sophomores had given us a very nice reception we decided that the world wasn’t so cruel after all, and that a few of the old students were our friends. By the end of the term our “Know it all” feeling had entirely worn off and we left in May realizing fully, that our task had only begun. What thrills of joy and excitement we had in coming back the second year “honest-to-goodness” Sophomores. And how we planned to “welcome the Freshies! Something else however greeted us before we had time to carry out our plans: The influenza and S. A. T. C. What a mixture that was, and how we did have to strive to make that year a success; still by a hard fight we won, and the victory gave us double courage and renewed our zeal. When September of the next year arrived and we found ourselves hack on the campus again, we were only seven strong; hut we never once lost courage nor sight of the goal for which we were striving. We realized that these seven could win any- thing, so our Junior year began full of determination. Much real work was ac- complished that year, and the time was so fully taken up with school problems and social affairs that May and commencement seemed to come upon us in a mad rush. We had long had the goal of Seniorship in view, hut never before had we realized so thoroughly what it meant. Among the days long to be remembered September 7th, 1920, stands near the top. Was there ever a bunch of hoys and girls prouder and more dignified than those of our Senior class? At our first meeting Mabel Lynch was elected President of the class; Marion Brinson, Vice President, and Gladys Peel secretary and treasurer. We were very glad at this time, to welcome a new member, thus making the number eight. It took us only a short time to realize that there was a great deal more to being a Senior than the name, for the responsibilities and duties of college life seemed to crowd upon us in full measure. But just as all other Senior classes over- come their many tasks and responsibilities so did we, and even though our time seemed filled to overflowing with work, we always found time for the many recep- tions and parties given us, and the entire year has been a happy one. We have only a few more days together and our hearts begun to ache, and we grow sad as the year draws near the end. We love you dear old A. C. C. and long, long after we have gone the ties and friendships which we have made here will remain alive and vivid in our memory. There is a spot in our hearts, and a large one at that, for you our Alma Mater. M. K. J. Historian ’21. IB i MABEL LYNCH Dunn, V. C. Beneath that dome of wavy black hair lies an arena of knowledge. With a sympathetic heart and a comprehensive intellect, she reads people, but no one exactly reads her. Her effort is sought by all whose sense of appreciation de- lights in the artistic. Her mastery, her willingness, and her genial good nature have won for her the love of all who know her. “So shows snowy dove trooping with crons As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.

MARION B. BRINSON, A. B. Arapahoe, N. C. Marion brings joy to all when he ap- pears, for indeed he bears the motto, “Just he glad,” and truly does he live up to it. Another so gifted as he can hardly he found. He excels in oratory, wins favor on the stage, is a favorite with all the ladies and ro less delights us with a fine tenor voice. He has chosen the ministry as his profession and we know success awaits one so earnest in his work as he. He wins the love and esteem of all who know him.

A black-haired loved-one, graceful and small; Gleeful, ah! filled with fun, and loved by all. Kathlyn has become the “pet” of the Senior Class—it’s “Kat.” Leading yells, she's fine. But “Charlie says, “She's mine.'' She is very optimistic about her work; but she puls “pep” into the Col- lege life and makes it really worth while to spend a few years in A. C. C. However, since “Chalie” has been in Jacksonville, she closes her letters with these words: k7 can't be glad, can'l be gay; II hen kyou' are a thousand miles away.

OUTLAW fj ilmington, N. C. Cecil is the only “Outlaw’’ at A. C. C. but he is different from the “outlaws” as we know them. He was here for the first time back in 1905, but he so loved A. C. C. that he had to come here again this year, and the Senior Class was glad to have a new addition to its number. A. C. C. has found he is not a real “out- law” for he excels in all his studies. xAs an every day man and as a preacher his cheerful disposition causes him to be much admired. We don’t know whether, after graduation, he will want “Moore’ education or not but we do know that he will continue his minis- terial work with greater zeal and under- standing.

By her many deeds of kindness, she wins the good will and warmest friendship of everyone. If she continues in her happy way of bewitch- ing the opposite sex we fear her long- looker-for career of a school teacher will be only a dream. ”There was a soft and pensive grace, A cast of thought upon her face.” Rural Hall, N. C. GLADYS FOUST Wilson, AC C. Gladys has been a faithful and dili- gent student of A. C. C. since 1916 and each year she has grown mentally, musically, socially, spiritually, and artistically, in the estimation of the fac- ulty and student body. She is always ready and willing to do her part in any department of college life, and is happi- est when laboring for others.

To say Gladys is one of the most lovable girls at A. C. C. is putting it mildly. She charms us all with her sweet voice as well as with her gifted touch upon the piano. We have never found anything that she could not do and do well. She has been with us only two vears, hut her intellectual ability is recognized by the entire class. Good luck to you, Gladys, you are sure to win. Siveel is every sound, sweeter thy voice. GLADYS PEELE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY M. B. Brinson, 21. In moments of reverie and noiseless thinking, those moments so sacred to life, the tide of memory rises high over oar hearts, and our throats seem to choke, and our eyes float in tears. The innumerable times when foul has been our play, causes us to regret the past. But the past cannot engage all our thoughts, so we turn to the present. Here we are disappointed, for the present is shifty, its offers are hidden, its time is fleeting, and our ability is limited. So we weary of the present. Yet we have a hope—the future. When we are caught up into the future our sorrows disappear. There is no sorrow there. Man has never wept over his future. The future is all hope and promises. Now it is my happy lot to forget all our past and present sorrows, and pull back the curtain and let you get one view of each of us playing our part on the stage of life. Getting an exact and true account of the future was at first more than 1 felt myself capable of doing, but a magician solved my problem for me. I was told that on a cold night, after the lights have been turned off, if I would remove the valve from my radiator, place my ears against the exhaust, and listen to the steam slowly die down in the boiler, all the time keeping my eyes fixed on a faint star to be seen in the East, then go quietly to bed, with the name of a classmate writ- ten on a paper slip dangling just over my pillow, and go at once to sleep, 1 should get a view of that classmate twenty years in the future. This 1 carefully tried the first night, wondering what the result wouldl be. As my consciousness passed into semi-consciousness I began to feel that I was passing rapidly through both time and space. At length, I seemed to be placed on the earth again, in a place 1 did not know where. It was a mountainous country, and the place looked like a resort. Off on a little level place I saw some young girls playing tennis, and an older women along the side-line delighting in their good plays as this older woman saw me, she came to meet me. It was a happy meeting. It was my old school friend Anna; and she said.we were at Moore’s Springs. We sat down, in the shade of an umbrella tree, and there she told me of her life. Her husband was owner and manager of the resort, and Anna said she was trying to make others happy by teaching the delicate tourists sports that were fascinating and wholesome. I remembered how much like Anna that was: trying to make someone happy. My next night’s slumber brought me to San Francisco. I saw a large, chizzled- rock church, and Japanese people flocking in there. One of them, seeing my wonder, invited me in, saying that any white man was welcome. I went; and to my surprise, Cecil Outlaw was their preacher. After church he told me that he had been there twenty years. He said the Japanese Hocked to our country soon after we left col- lege in 1921, and were giving such trouble that he went over there and began mis- sion work among them and with no help he had made that success. His own men built that church; and they were worthy citizens: most of all loving their “Big White Chief.” On the third night Gladys Foust visited me. Just where, I have forgotten. She told me that one of our annuals, in 1921, got into the exchange, and went to Wash- ington City; and as a result of her drawings in there, the United States Bureau of Typography looked her up, and employed her on a salary of $5,000.00 a year and expenses. She had been practically over the world, and was going abroad again soon to get some information abouut the marshes of Northern Russia. I was now fairly interested in my wrork. The next night 1 wrote Gladys Peels name on the paper. I met Gladys that night at an opera, in New ork. She was accompanist for one of New7 fork's violinists. After the concert I went up and spoke to her; and she introduced me to the violinist as her husband. She was as laughing and as cheerful as she used to be in A. C. C., in 1921. To locate Grady Spiegel was the object of my next night’s sleep. Much as I expected he had gone to school until he received his Ph.D. Then he had accepted the chair of Sociology in the university of his home state, Alabama. Grady’s ser- vice as a preacher was sought every Sunday he felt free to go out. He also wras ap- pointed by the school to follow the workings of ah committees composec o student: there, and to see that they did their work. I asked him how he managed to keep up with everything. His reply was that he had it all set down in his ’’little book. These nights took me all over our country. The next night I went to Florida. There in Jacksonville, I saw a big limousine approaching, and I recognized the lady driving to be “kat. Upon seeing me she brought the limousine to a standstill, and asked me if I would ride. She was on her way home from the Woman’s (dub, of which she w7as President. I went with her to the mansion, which was situated just outside the city limits, by an orange grove, which her husband owned. w‘kat said she was either in the city all the time, or had guests from the city; and that she was “the happiest person in all the world.” Mabel had always been a success, and I wondered where I would find her. I met her at a banquet in a big new hotel in Raleigh. At the banquet the Governor arose and called out, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want to present to you the well known woman in whose honor this banquet is given. At the end of this statement 1 saw7 Mabel stand up, and the guests cheered for almost five minutes. Then the Governor continued: “For ten years she has been Superintendent of Public Instruction in the ’Old North State. When she began, we ranked third from the bottom of all the states in the union, educationally, and now we stand fourth from the top; and all the honor is due to our Superintendent. It now remains for me to tell you about myself; and that will not take long, for in telling of my best friends I have almost forgotten about myself. I remember that I w7as preaching to a large audience in one of our city churches; hut whether I was their regular pastor, or whether 1 was a returned missionary I do not remember. However, I do remember seeing a Harvard classmate of mine who received his Ph.D. the same time I received mine.

C. It is needless to say that our “Teenie” of the golden hair is loved by all—every- body knows it. Her laughing eyes and radiant smile bespeak a disposition quite as sunny as her locks. She is dependable, resolute and true and A. C. C. is fotunate to have her. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” NELLE WHITEHEAD MOVE Farm ville, V. C. In Nelle we find many of the qualities that make a girl lovable. Nature has en- dowed her with the ability of leadership. She is strong, determined, and true and “E'en her failings lean to virtue’s side.’’ Her impulsiveness makes her all the more charming. ' Her friends are many and her enemies, feiv.” LOTTIE E. WILSON Wilson’s Mills, N. C. Lottie, after finishing her course in Ex- pression last year decided she wanted more knowledge, so she returned to A. C. C. this O 7 year and joined the Junior Class. She is especially talented in music and expres- sion, and has a mind keen enough for any work. She is usually happy and shows a spirit of enthusiasm and pep wherever she goes. But love is blind and lovers cannot see The pretty Jollies they themselves commit. LLOYD CHAPMAN Grijton, N. C. Hesperian “Bud Lloyd is known not only by the students of A. C. C. but by people in town. His sunny disposition and comical way make him a favorite wherever he goes. We do not fear that he will ever have to wear “specks , for he does not believe in letting his studies interfere with his educa- tion. If you are “down and out visit Lloyd. He will make you laugh. We like to think of him as always brightening the path for some one. “A merrier man W ithin the limit of becoming mirth I never spent an hour's talk withal. ELSIE FREEMAN Windsor, V. C. Elsie came to us at the beginning of the second semester from N. C. C. W. She is specializing in expression and we are ex- pecting great things from her. m Th ree long years ago, we, the class of 22, unsophisticated, green, and gawky, appeared on the campus of old A. C. C. Despite the harboring fear in our hearts we tried to look wise and to take every new shock with a composed mien, character- istic of people in our position. We did not have to he told; yes we knew we com- posed the most distinguished and intellectual Freshman class that ever walked a college campus. However, with the nightly visits of the “Sophs” came a few mid- night plunges and other thrilling experiences that made our blood run cold. We began to realize that there were other important personages at A. C. C. besides our- selves. Gradually we felt the superiority slipping away and long before the end of the first semester we settled into our rightful positions in the college life. The re- mainder of the year passed rapidly and we left with a keen determination to show the freshmen of the next year just what an humble position they were expected to occupy. We returned to college the following September with the same youthful antici- pation of fun with the “freshies,”. That seemed to be our biggest task as we saw it— the one thing which we had been looking forward to since the first night the “Sophs” visited us. Even though as Freshmen we had been shown our insignificence in com- parison with the other classmen, we had not had the youth and the love of romance taken from us. We met the “freshies” with all the dignity that we could command and with an air of authority and wisdom, ushered the innocent creatures into more than one waiting trap. As we saw them conforming their desires more and more to ours and the reluctance with which they became real Freshmen, we fully forgave the Sophs of the year before for the deeds they had “done unto us. But fun could not reign supreme in the lives of true Sophomores whe realized that it was “up to them to make a record of which they would be proud in the years to come. So, we, the class of '22 in the second year of our college existence, began real work. We were not to young and thoughtless to realize that true perseverance and honest work each and every day was the only road to Success. And this we determined to have—Suc- cess! We parted for vacation with that same feeling that Success must come. Vacation passed quickly for most of us, and when our little group assembled once again on the old campus we found ourselves much older in both experience and wisdom. Fun was not altogether gone, for we still had a keen sense of humor, but we felt that there were more important things to be done than to trifle with the poor Freshmen. As Juniors our duties had changed and we clothed ourselves with a dis- tinguished dignity. We admired and loved our Seniors, but our devotion was not so intense that we were unable to see their faults, and seeing them, we determined to profit by them. So in these closing months of our Junior year we are still admiring our Seniors and are following in their footsteps just so far as we think best. It is true that each Senior class has the opportunity of being just a little better than the one preceeding. So, logically speaking, it follows that the class of 22 will be the greatest in the history of A. C. C., for we still hold “Success as our goal, and by earnest endeavor we shall reach it—Success! L.

It was the day of peculiar experience, which had been looked forward to by these boys and girls with both delight and dread. The thoughts in the minds of this group were somewhat the same, had been since early spring, which had brought to each of these the joyous honor of dignified “Seniorship in High School. The summertime followed, with its delightful anticipations of College life. “What is College life?” “Am I going to like it?” These questions had repeated themselves in the minds of these boys and girls, as is the case with all who are anticipating going off to College. On that September day those High School Seniors were to begin to find out what College life really is. And the lirst part of the ensuing year proved to them that one cannot bo more than a “poor Freshie” to begin with. But they were ambitious lads and lasses, so they stood with composure and fortitude the cold water thrown on them from the stops above. For they remembered what Shakespeare had said : “But it is a common proof. That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder. Whereto the climber upward turns his face ; But when he once attains the upmost round, He then unto the ladder turns his back. Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend.” They realized that some day they would reach another round—the they polished shoes, and carried alarm clocks, as they hoped some day to them. But that “some day,”—it seemed so far off. There were eight of these boys and girls. And they met one day and organized. They hoped by the organization, and the activities resulting from it, to lose some of their “greeness”— which they themselves realized they were affected with,—for winter was now at hand. There were no restless days, for these students had begun to realize the value of the days ahead, to be spent at this place. As an organization they took as a motto, “Love, labor and laugh.” And they assumed the attitude which this motto implied, and accomplished something for both them- selves and others every day. With January of the following year came the last siege of the “flu” epidemic, but since it was slight this time all the “Freshies” survived. Then Spring brought her warm days, bright sunshine, lovely flowers, singing birds, and alas,—spring fever and “exams.” But spring fever must be disregarded in order to pass those terrible “exams” which were to change the Freshmen to Sophomores. And, of course, all these excellent Freshmen passed. Then they felt no longer fresh and green,” but polished, ready to make a record Sophomore class for old A. C. C. for the next year. At the beginning of another fall term they who returned to pursue the course begun felt anew those words of Shakespeare. They renewed among themselves the spirit of their motto. They were really climbing upward, and they realized it. But, oh, how tall that ladder must be! How far it must extend into the heavens! f the many pleasures, which the new term brought to this particular class, perhaps the greatest was the fact that, although they had lost four of the old members, they had gained seven new ones. Where other Colleges lost, A. C. C. gained. So there was now a large number of “Sophs” to torture that big class of “Freshies” which the new year had brought. This year they have worked more diligeutly than before. Each day their working basis has been aided by what knowledge the day before brought. They have plodded conscientiously through the nine months,—conscious of the great things the future has for them. Well may the class be called a fine one, being composed of a good number, who are of varied dispositions and of well distributed abilities. There have been no very exciting events, no great disturbances in the work this year, and the Sophomores are now nearing the end of half of their College career. To look ahead from the beginning, it seems so far, to look back from tin end, it seems so brief. Half of it now over ! It has seemed such a short time since those “green” boys and girls were initiated by being made to stand on a trunk at midnight and sing for the Juniors and Seniors of today : “How green I am, How green 1 am. Nobody knows How green I am.” The pleasant things always seem to pass quickly, yet there are two years of pleasure to look forward to. Every member of the Sophomore class hopes that they, as Juniors, may have a larger class, and that the Senior class may be the largest ever.” But if this is not true, they will remember that quality is of more importance than quantity, and that even the smallest of classes can do a great deal that is worth while, if they have the right will.

A large number of them were Freshmen, even though some people would have taken us to be Seniors, if they had judged us by the “'dignified and important manner ' in which we strolled through the halls and on the campus. . Everyone welcomed us with open arms and made us feel that our days at A. C. C. would be the happiest days of our life. What a time we had getting acquainted with everyone. We were not long in learning the members of our envied Sophomore class. What a horror we had of those highly esteemed Sophs! But to know them was to Jove them. We have since found that some of the kindest liearts are owned by our beloved Sophs.” After those strenuous days of classification, and a number of receptions, we begun our College career at A. C. C. Alas, sad but true, we found that our College life was to be not as we had first thought, a life of ease and entertainment, ljut a life of work and development, (interrupted now and tlien ljy entertainments and jolly good times). We are toiling on and striv- ing with unceasing laljor to reacli the goal and receive a reward for our efforts, a real diploma. Mabel Lynch, ‘21 Christine Whitley, ‘22 Q : FUTURE OF A. C. C. Wilson, North Carolina. Commencement Time, May 1933. Honorable Joseph A. Kinsey, La Grange, N. C. My Dear Brother Kinsey: You are now ninety years old. Many years ago you planted a seed in Wilson, others watered, and now God is giving the increase. It is this increase that I want to tell you about, and in the telling of it record the appreciation of a grateful brotherhood for the part you had in the beginnings of what is now, indeed a splendid institution. We call it A. C. C.—A. You, 1 am sure, know the history of the College as well as any, up to the campaign of ’20. About that time the preaching members of the faculty were called in for full time duty at the College, and 1 have missed those visits during which we had those heart-to-heart talks of the College and other interests of the Kingdom. Beginning at this period, then, let me give you a birds-eye view of the College of today. On account of limited space we shall use a pseudo-military form of letter. Place: The dream of removing the College to another cite was abandoned at a Board meeting in May 21, and an intensive program of development was entered upon. Whitehead, old, Roundtree and Lee have been metamorphosed but still bound the College. Buildings and Equipment: The main building is an outgrowth of the old administration building and girls' dormitory. By strengthening the old walls the architect was enabled to make it a full four-story building. It has elevator service and besides class rooms, the main offices and teachers' apartments, it has accommodations for 300 women. The old chapel has been included in the general scheme and is now adorned with opera seats, a modern stage, and pipe organ. It has seating capacity for 1200 people. President IIi 1 ley's offices are in what was formerly the dining hall. This structure with its deep red pressed brick veneer and the four large fluted colonial columned porch and the roof garden render this a building of attractiveness and class which satisfies the most exacting. President IIi 1 ley's home has been made modern in every particular. Located where the “ W hite House of olden times was, is a Commons Building with Domestic Science Hall and more teachers' apartments. The old Boys' Dormitory has been remodeled into a modern Science Hall and College of Music Building. In what was sometimes called ’’The Valley of Hinnom. or ‘Gehena. is our central heating plant and Gymnasium with swimming pool. On the corner of Lee and Rountree is the new Dormitory for 300 men. Between this building and the Administration Building just opposite the Commons is the new City Library co-operating with the College. We now have an adequate library for any first class institution. In this square of buildings is a most charming court with fountains, flowers, settees, and promenade. Secondary Schools: We have a Girls' High School at -------- and a Boys' Military School at —, both strategic centers lor our people. The schools have proved the wisdom of supporting Secondary Schools as feeders for the College. Faculty: Our faculty is second to none in the South. Endowment: Our endowment is now reaching the $2,000,000.00 mark. You know it is only in the last few years that our brethren have discovered themselves. We are a prosperous people. Brother Kinsey, read this letter again, and let the remembrance of it be for your closing years a source of pleasure, knowing that you are remembered as having an important part in this work of Christian ducation. Ninety years old! By your optimism and energy you have kept sweet and lovable to this good day. You have given us new meaning to the lines of Browning: “Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be. The last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in his hand Who saith, A whole I planned. Youth shows but half; trust Gods See all, nor be afraid —this meaning is for our College. Affectionately, Perry Case. ALUMNI NOTES It does not seem necessary to the Editor of this department to go into a careful history of the alumni of A. C. College, in as much as the facts as to the location and present position of all the old graduates were carefully set forth in the last issue of the Pine Knot by Mr. Farish. Just a word about the class of Nineteen-Twenty, however, will be necessary as these names did not appear in the last Annual. Lawrence Moye is at Eastman's Business College taking a commercial course, in prepara- tion for the business career awaiting him. Rupert Phillips is teaching near Warsaw. Ada Gray Dixon is teaching school near Farmville. Selma Perkins is keeping books for a tobacco concern in Wendell. J. M. Perry is the successful pastor of the Robersonville Christian Church. Lottie Wilson is back at A. C. C. finishing her literary course. It will also be of interest to old students and friends to know that Bonita Wolff, Bessie Hodges, Hatty Hodges, May Anderson and Fannie Manning have married since the issue of the last Pine Knot. Since the history of the class has been so carefully written by my predecessor, nothing remains to me but to say a word about the place and function of an alumni association in the life of a college and to call to my fellow students of other days to rally around Alma Mater. It is a fact that the success or failure of acollege depends to a large degree upon the men and women it graduates. If they go out in life, and standing level with the men and women of other colleges are able to keep the pace and at times take the lead in the march of progress; if they build for themselves a fortune, reputation, standing; if they use their gifts in the exaltation of the nobler qualities of life and stand for the best thing; then the college from which they go is honored. If they fail, the college has failed. The only excuse for the existence of a college is that it is developing life. If it does this, the result will appear in the men and women it sends out. If it fails, the results of its failure will likewise appear. Now it appears to me that A. C. College has much of which to be proud in the men and women who have received their training here. When compared with an equal member of the products ol any other institution in the state, we have not one single thing lor which to apologize. Our men and women have made good. And having made good, they are better qualified than any others to look back upon tlieii experiences here and to say what was good and what was bad, and what would he best for pres- ent and future. There were certain imperishable ideals, certain standards of conduct and de- portment, certain ideals of scholarship and achievement, which were written into the very bolld of every A. C. C. student who was able and worthy to attain the Bachelor's degree. As I look back upon my student days, and think of the things which went into the making of profound regard for our college, it seems to me that the ideals of scholarship with which men like Prof. Barham and others inspired us; the clean-cut, wholesome atmosphere of the campus; the su- preme contempt for sham and cant; and the notion that a man should dignify his work and make service the basis of preeminence, were some of the outstanding contributions which the college made to every thoughtful student. And now, Alumni, what are we going to do about it? Shall we give of that which we received, to every other cause, and withhold our hand when Alma Mater calls? We should be actively directing the major part of the affairs of the college, we should stand by each adminis- tration and see to it that those lundamental ideals which have given us our place shall not perish. Every grain of energy and intelligence which we have should he freely given to this cause which is so amply worthy. If our college is to lie the great school which it ought to be, it will be only when the men and women who have been educated in its halls, and have drunk deeply of its spirit, give to the college a part of their time and their means and this talent. There are so many things we need just now. New buildings, new equipment in laboratory, library, and studios; more endowment; and more students. Who but we can feel these needs so keenly? It is a shame to let the splendid teaching talent of the college go on from year to year under the handicap which has always hindered it. What a pity it is that we cannot have a place adequately equipped in which those vital ideals for which the college stands can be taught with the maximum efficiency! Who shall make the people see the need and hear the call to this larger service, except it be those of us who know by personal contact how sore the need is! It is time, fellow alumni, that we get together and plan large things for our Alma Mater, and then see to it that the plans materialize. It it time for us to perfect an e. .cient organization among ourselves through which the right sort of propaganda may be instituted for the accomplishment of those things which we desire. If we will stand together and do our duty, we can make our college what it should be. Will we do it? I believe we will. S. Lee Sadler. PRIZE WINNERS M. B. Brinson Denny Bros.

It does not claim to be the College nor would it have its students think of themselves as college students. But at the same time it is con- scious of having an important function to perform in the life on many young people in the Carolinas. Without its kindly offices young men and women who are now A.B s would not have had the help and inspiration to make the needed preparation to even enter college. Others who have had to turn aside to battle with the stern realities of every day existence before reaching college have here found courses of study which were suited to their needs and teachers who have labored faithfully in their behalf. Whether the students are destined for college or not it is the aim and purpose to awake within them a desire for the choicest things in life, to train them so that the higher wants may he satisfied and that they may help others in the realization of the things that are most worth while. Mastery over self and over forces of nature and cooperation with others so as to make the best out of the world for all men is the spirit we would seek to instill. The High School is under the supervision of the head of the Department of Education of Atlantic Christian College, Professor Grim. W bile he does all of his teaching in the College he is deeply interested in the High School and gives not a little of his thought and attention to it. He is ably assisted by a corps of well equipped teachers. F. F. Grim. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF A. C. C. 1921 Colors: Old Rose and Silver. Flower: Pink Sweet Pea.

W hitehead Lewis Mayo I |(j HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It was a calm Autumn day in September that the ship called “The Class of 1021“ began it’s voyage. What became of the members of the Freshman class we do not know, for not a one of them has remained with us since then. As we think of the past, we wonder if they were not really shipwrecked on some far away unknown island, at the close of that year. The next year soon came, and as we sailed on our voyage, it seemed indeed peaceful, the whole atmosphere was tilled with the music of a perfect melody. Our task was not at all diffi- cult, or it must have been that we as Sophomores knew better how to make our ship glide along than the one that had just passed by. We started out with great determination to accomplish the task before us. At first tin sea was quite calm, and everything went on nicely. Our burdens seemed so few that we forgot what our task really was. As the year was coming to a close, all were lost except three who were able to come back the next year and resume their duties. One who came back was Sallie Adams from Four Oaks, a charming musician, and has won many friends among the students. Sybil Heath says she is from Ayden, a very prosperous little town in Pitt County. Sybil is studious, and tho she has trouble with her love affairs, she always performs her duties well. The third member of that class was Elva Moon who hails from Bath, the oldest town in North Carolina. It is way down in Beaufort County, situated near the Pamlico river. “Tho she fails, she never loses hope.’’ The next year as Juniors we had two more members to join ns on our voyage over tin rough seas. By this time we considered ourselves indeed very wise. In our estimation there were none who could surpass 11s. Garland Gray is from Robersonville. lie is very modest, and a quite fellow. His high- est ambition is to be a doctor. He excelled in football when that game was being played. Alma Stokes is another from Ayden. Sin has as yet failed to develop a love affair, and what she delights in most is going to sleep during study hour. Before joining us she was in school at Ayden Seminary where she did excellent work. Of all the years we had spent this was the happiest one. We had learned to fool the teachers, or we thought we had. Cutting classes and missing chapel was a great delight to us. Most everything seemed to go our way. Our voyage was a pleasant one, although the sea was dark and stormy at times, and our ship seemed as if it were buried beneath the waves. Still we were successful and reached the end of the year’s voyage in good time. At last the time came for us to start on our last voyage. This time our ship was called the “Senior Ship.” Indeed happy were we all. for we hoped to make it the very best year and have it mean more to. 11s than any year in the past. As we started out one beautiful Autumn day, we were surprised yet very glad of having the opportunity of taking with us ten more members which increased our class roll. Three of whom were supposed to have been shipwrecked the year before, somewhere on the Isle of Geometry. One of the lirst things we did was to take a few lessons in “How to Study Effectively.” By this time we all became personally acquainted. The following were the new members who were on board of the “Senior Ship” as it sailed away across the deep blue sea : Rosa Pridgen, Lillie Winstead and Lula Norris Cox, all of whom were from the same little town. Elm City. Rosa added much to our class by her sunny disposition, and was unanimously elected by the girls as being the most athletic. Lillie and Lula Norris worked faithfully, and were always gladly welcomed in any group. Lewis Whitehead hails from Dover, to impart his wonderful knowledge to us. Roger Speir. or “Roger Spare,” he is sometimes called, came from Ayden also, and was always loyal to our ship. Another is Annie Ruth Jones, unconscious of the firmness of the teachers, proceeds to have a good time. Katherine Gage is a most capable girl, and we are indeed glad to have her with us. Her accent tells 11s that sin is from the extreme north, Olivet. Michigan, but she “jits ju” with our Southern good times, and has made many friends. Gladys Williams, Hazel Bathae, and Florence Unarm are from the same place from which our ship started on its long happy voyage, and to which it now returns. Their desire is to do their best and win the goal. There has always been a feeling of good will and sympathy among tin members of our class. We have invariably been interested in the welfare and desirous of gaining the good will of each other. Now that we have almost reached our destination, we look back and see when the class of 1021 first, sailed, it seems years and years ago to us now, tho it has only been a short time. Here’s to the Class of 1021, Here’s to our faculty dear. May its future be bright, May they ever better be ; Here’s to the goal on which they fix, Here’s to the name we love, May they ever keep it in sight ; A. C. C., A. C. C. Elva Moore.

My poem is not of the Longfellow style And it's missing in meter once in a while. Perhaps too you'd like to learn The poet's name, my name is Hearne. They shoved this of] on me And made me the poet of the A. C. C. High School Class of Twenty-One The finest class under the sun. I guess that's about all to be said In explanation, so I'll go ahead, And read you with what my poem is laden A few words about each lad and maiden. Adams of course from Genesis down Heading the list is always found. Sa lie leads in music still, And other things too, but Oh! you “Bill . Rosa Pridgeon, tall, stately and serene, Will win her way as a sweet lovely queen. Lula Norriss Cox—You know what they say? Is young and charming but anxious to be “Cray . Hazel Bethea, the next ice'11 salute. Is very popular, vivacious and cute. Katherine Gage we ll give her her dues, She keeps the class laughing and drives off the blues. Alma Stokes thinks it quite befitting To spend her spare time at A. C. C. just knitting. Next it is my pleasant duly To mention Annie Ruth Jones, our real class beauty. Elva Moore, quiet, sweet and demure Is loved by all, of that am sure. Gladys Williams is charming and young. Her greatest trouble is wagging her tongue. As the lower grades from Sybil Heath fades. May she make the “Grady ’ of all grades. And like Lill Winstead attain great joy, By getting her lessons, likewise a boy. The boys since the Amendment has been passed, Of course, now should be mentioned last! The first oj the last is Garland Gray, Whose teachers say will be President some day, Next is the class favorite, Roger Spear, Who is quite clever for one of his years. At saying things witty he can't be beat. His only desire is, plenty to eat. The sport of the class is Louis IT hitehead. But can't solve Geometrical problems, so tis said. My poem is ended, my duty is done. Of course, how well, I leave it to you And bid one and all, a kind adieu. Florence Emily Hearne. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS Motto: “Labor Conquers All Things.

She delights all who hear her with her musical productions, and indeed A. C. C. is proud to possess so accomplished a daughter as her own.

Miss Lambert is a teacher of much merit, as has been tested by her class in Voice during the past year. She has undoubtedly a decided talent for interpretation; her taste is excellent, reserved and intensely musical. We love her not only for her musical ability but for what she is: A true woman, sympathetic and entirely altruistic. EDWARD T. STALLINGS Insrtuctor in Violin Student in New York School of Music in N.

C. C. He is full of fun and music, and charms us with his violin, for he can make it talk and laugh, cry, and sing to suit each mood and whim of the students. He can make you forget the cares of the world and carry you into realms be- yond. Practice is his watch words. Yet all is not work, for he is a great friend to everyone, and “Honey” is his favorite expression. MRS. MARGARET SPIERS Instructor in Art Mrs. Margaret Spiers is sweet and charming, and easily wins her way into the most hard-hearted of hearts. Al- though she is kept busy painting china for the many brides all over the United States, she has managed to spend some of her most valuable time in cultivating the talent of her pupils. We know and admire her for her many splendid qual- ities. She is a graduate of the N. C. C. W. and continues her study of Art each summer at New York. G. V.

Mr. Anderson, tho' very quiet is full of wit, and when he appears in Chapel the students know to expect something original. He has a gift for writing poetry, and from time to time delights us with poems in Chapel. The busy click of the typewriters showr that he has created the atmosphere of work in his class room.

It gains its vivacity and spirit from its able leader, Mrs. Grim. When Mrs. Grim is present, nothing ever lags; readings are given with more “pep” and enthusiasm; plays go off like clock work under her careful supervision. Certain members of the Dramatic Club have visited neighboring towns arid presented groups of plays. In every instance these presentations have been successful and a credit to the persevering efforts of Mrs. Grim.

Hold fast to the Goddess, Music, the most beautiful thing in the world. “First Violin. By Jessie Fothergill. Music has truly been defined as the language of the emotions, for indeed, what emotion is there which can not be expressed by music. We are all endowed to a certain extent with a love for music from the savage with his rude dances to the highest cultured musician with his know- ledge of Theory, Harmony, Counterpoint, and love for Opera. There are two classes of music lovers: the one class takes delight in the mere sound and jingle of the music; not looking for any higher purpose than this, they content themselves with the purely sensuous enjoyment that the sound affords. The other class looks beneath the surface and strives to fathom the underlying purpose. This second class is made up of those who rec- ognize in music an embodiment of artistic aims, an object of serious and renned enjoyment that appeals to the emotions through the intelligence. A love for the rhythm and jingle of music is born in us, but the love for the higher forms of music must be acquired. The pursuit and enjoyment of music calls for the exercise on the part of its devotees, of three- principle functions widely different. These are the functions of the composer, of the per- former, and of the listener. The composer is the source of all art—music. His aim is to realize the ideals with which his brain is filled. He seeks to give expression to musical ideas which shall call forth sympathetic feeling in those to whom the utterance is addressed. The function of the performer is different in that he is giving utterance to the thought of another. It requires self-control, self-abandonment and a two-fold sympathy, with the composer and with the audience, and personal magnetic power to such an extent that the audience will lose sight of the com- poser and remember only the reproducing artist. The audience must listen intelligently and be in sympathy with the artist. It is necessary, therefore, to know' something of the composer's life, his varying moods, the condition under which a composition is written, if we would fully appreciate it. The American demand for music is the most varied in the world. The public taste for music is improving.. .Musical taste is all a matter of becoming accustomed to certain kinds of music. One reason why the love for music in America has been more tii. .cult to develop in America than in other countries is because Americans have so many more amusements which take their attention. The American people are waking up though, to a realization of what good music is, realizing that it must have more than technic, that it must be inspired. There must be a soul behind the music. Thomas A. Edison says, “Musicians are too ignorant of Science, they do not study the make-up of their instrument as they should.” He says he has heard pianists playing on instru- ments of which one key wmuld vary extra-ordinarily in timbre from the adjacent key, and yet be unaware of it. 1 In regard to the future of our American music, Mr. Edison says: “It is with the children that we must work if we would turn this into a musical nation. Take Germany, the nation is not a musical one, certainly not as musical as our own. Brohms, of all their great composers, is really the only one we may count as a German, Beethoven, a Dutchman; Wagner, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, all Jews. Yet Germany has developed a vast love of music among the people for the simple reason that almost every child is taught some instrument. In a family, each child is given a different instrument to learn and in the home there is cultivated a love of art which proves more alluring than our moving pictures, and how much more inspiring That is what we must do here. It is not the schools and teachers that have in their power the making of a musical nation, but the mothers. If this is done, all our musical problems will solve themselves and a noble musical future will be assured our coming generations. Gladys Peele, ’21.

The largest number in its history. The Club is one of the most active and energetic organizations of the college and furnishes the school with a large part of its enter- tainment. One of the interesting features of the Dramatic Club is the occasional afternoon meetings which are held from five to six o'clock in the club room. The money earned by the club itself has made it possible to have this room refurnished, the walls retinted, and new draperies hung. The potted plants give a still more home- like appearance. The place is unusually attractive and restful and we find more than one student spending his spare moments there after a tiresome day. The Christmas party given just before the holidays was an unusual success. A short but interesting program was given and several contests were participated in. An immense Christmas pie was brought in, the contents of which proved to be small suitable gifts with appropriate rhymmes attached, for each one present. The rhymes were read aloud, causing much amusement. The Club members who were fortunate enough to be in several of the popular plays have enjoyed trips to some of the smaller towns. Plays were presented at Wendell, kenley and Stantonsburg and we feel that the trip to Grifton on the fourth of February deserves special mention. In spite of the fact that the night was dark and rainy, the sum of one hundred and ten dollars was received. The members of the cast were most delightfully entertained for the night by Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Chapman and several of their friends. At present the Dramatic Club is at work on two new plays! “Esmeralda,” the setting of which is laid in the mountains of western North Carolina, and “Valley Farm,” a play of the old homestead type. One of these will be given in the early spring and the other will be our Commencement play. On the whole we feel that this year has been perhaps the most successful since the organization of the Expression department into a club.

The old saying reminds us that our specials play a much larger place in our corporate life than we might think. They have all had good years and it is well to sum up their work and activities as a whole and as it contributes to the success of the college. The largest special department is as usual music: piano, voice and violin. The same members of the faculty .who have taught piano for several years have maintained their former high standard of training. This has been manifested not only in the music furnished for our ordinary school life hut also in the special programs and public recitals given from time to time. Mention should he made in this department of the work done in connection with the Glee Club. This new organization has afforded us pleasure in the chapel performances and has rendered valuable service in some of its appearances especially during the State Convention at Goldsboro in October. The violin department under Mr. Stalling's direction has made great strides and is making for itself a real place in the life of the college. The work of the voice and violin departments in public reminds us of the splendid plays put on by the Dramatic Club and the expression pupils. How they have delighted us with num- erous pla’s they have presented and how well they have expended what thy have earned in fur- nishing a room in the girls dormitory for the pleasure and convenience of all We should not overlook either the great work that the Dramatic Club has done in advertising A. C. C. in a series of performances over much of Eastern Cardin. These have been favorably received and should he great student getters. Then we mention our baby china painting. This revival in a modest way of a line of endeavor that formerly played a large part in the college life has proved highly pleasing. In spite of the depressed financial situation, the class maintained its life and has done some excellent work. The display at the Wilson County Fair won all the china painting prizes offered and won much enthusiastic prais from those who saw it. This exhibit at the Fair was due largely to the interest and spirit of the other strong special, the Domestic Science Class. The goodies, canned fruits and vegetables, and various work of the class made us all wish we were taking Domestic Science. This class has not been lar e this year hut it has been well taught. Its lack of equipment has handicapped it but we expect it in the years to come to surpass with some equipment its splendid work of the term in preparing our girls to be home makers of tomorrow. Last hut not least either in number or in possibility of teaching a useful and serviceable work is the business school. For the first awe we have had a teacher giving his whole time to this work. Though hampered by the closeness of its quarters and by lack of su..cient equipment this part of our college has made splendid progress. The constant click of typewriters, the strange hiroglyphics on the board, and the stray sheets of ledger sheets are proof that the classes in business subjects were really on a business basis. Such in outline is the work of these lines of study outside the beaten track of literary sub- jects. They draw many students to us and they give us opportunity to equip many of them for a fuller life. Some say, long live the specitl in prosperity and progress with all that we have at A. C. C. H. S.

There are, at present, eighteen members of this group and we believe that each one would say that the meetings are of inestimable value to him. There is a certain loneliness in the life of one who attempts to lead the van of moral progress. The great army of believers moves but slowly, and the torch-bearer is in danger of infinite solitude as he pushes on, in the hope that the people will follow the gleam. The true minister is like, in part, to a great lighthouse, which must stand alone amidst the breakers, its light ever beckoning the mariner to the haven under the lea. And the minister, does he not too often have to stand alone amidst the wreckage and waste, pointing men to the haven of security? Now, this task has its compensations. There is supreme joy “over one sinner that repenteth . And many a friendly salute will be heard from the ships that pass in the night. Nevertheless the human fact remains that the minister has an isolated and somewhat lonely life. And in order to overcome this condition in every city there are Ministerial Unions, composed of all the ministers of that city. In their meetings they talk together and pray and sing together; they have fellowship with kindred souls; and they go forth renewed for their tasks. It is some such function as that which the “Fellowship fulfills. We tell our experience, talk over our prob- lems, pray together, and in this way keep the bond of fellowship. It is our purpose to make the Fellowship a real factor in the life of every boy who goes out from the Collge to preach the gospel of our Lord. ■ : “FELLOWSHIP’’ MEMBERSHIP Cecil F.

There is constant effort to develop and promote growth of Christian principles in the lives of students. Among die young men, the “Thursday Night Prayer Meeting ' and among die young women, die Y. W. C. A. exert a wholesome, helpful influ- ence, and many are die seed thoughts found in lliese meetings which bear fruit and stimulate to higher ideals of life and action. The young preachers, in their “Fellowship' meetings have opportunity to discuss widi members of die Faculty who are preachers, their successes and failures, thus gaining the necessary development for practical work. A number of students find means ol preparing themselves for service in a Mission Chapel near the College where they make talks, teach in the Sunday School, and lead the music. Ideals of service are placed before the students by means of Chapel talks and private conference. Thu s does Atlantic Christian College en- deavors to carry out her belief that “The soul of education is the education of the soul. Frances F. Harper. mimuiju iflnmiiinmuniimiii lrmTinn i11 n n i a imimTuiimminim 1111 i m imiTnrmiiU oiirrm urn mrrm inTTTTTTTnTrrrhm-i mi mnf Among the boys there is a splendid expression of the religious spirit. Not only in mid-week prayer-meetings but also in Sunday Sshool attendance they are religiously active. It is understood that each and every boy should attend some Bible school on Sundays and they respond willingly and gladly. They assist in making drives and canvasses, lend their aid in revival meetings, in the song service or in any way they can and are ready to respond to any call in the religious activity of the school and its community. Surely they are doing much to extend His King- dom here on earth. From among the boys have been chosen teachers and leaders for our down-town Bible school and also for the mission work in the western part of our city. Others are serving as leaders and shepherds of flocks in places easily reached by raiload. During the spring short revival meetings will be held at some of the nearby points and the boys have volunteered to assist in every way they can, especially in rendering special musical selections. Not only are they active in the general occurrences in our religious life, but they serve often on special duties. They participate in the five minute missionary talks in the Sunday School, which has been observed for some time. These short speeches are both interesting and instructive and their aim is to present from time to time the call of the mission field. Bro. Stuart has been using the ministerial students in his morning services. They are allowed to have charge of the prelimi- naries of this portion of the day’s worship, thus encouraging and assisting the boys as much as he can. We realize that we must not neglect the spiritual part of life and here we try to lay much emphasis. There exists among the boys a splendid morale and we desie to promote its growth that they, when they return to their own communities may be beacon lights for Him. nmmmmiinnr JUNIORS L. J.

It was organized in 1919-20 and was composed of the members of English J Class of the College. In that year there were eight active members and the instructor, Prof. Grim was the only honorary member. The meetings were held at 6:30 on Thursday veiling. Four of its members participated in the annual inter-society debate. This year, 1920-21, the members of last year's club and Professor and Mrs. Grim constitute the honorary ones. The Wranglers now meet on Thursday at 10:30. One of the active members and three of the honorary ones will take part in the inter-society debate. The word “Wranglers” is suggestive of the nature of the organization. “The object of the Wranglers is to awaken a greater interest in the student body of A. C. C. in the art of public speaking and in the proper use of Parliamentary Law and to train its members to the end that they shall become effective public speakers and skilled Parliamentarians. To accomplish this object we lake up the study of Parliamentary Law during the first half hour and the rest of the hour we spend in practicing in our business what we have learned. Throughout the year we have debates in which every active member participates. Our work is not at all uninteresting and we feel that The Wranglers is one of the livesl organizations in the school, and to make things more lively we once in a while have a social hour. Since organizing the club we realize more than ever how necessary our work is in preparing us for citizenship of the better kind and for conducting public assemblies of any nature. And who knows but that some of us may become Presidents, Senators or Governors? irn.iar� HiTnni'nr.iiM i|i;iTH'-n'i!.iTi inn him i imm miuiui1 mm n m ii i'.!! lllllJIsmr.: • 1!11! • JH M N! 11M1 • llr..111i 1111 mCHIT HESPERIAN LITERARY SOCIETY DEBATORS Marion B.

M. H. Grant, Ladies' Coach M. H. Grant, Coach W BRINSON In the midst of a busy senior year, in which lie is active in all college activities, Marion found time to spend a few hours each day on the Football field. He was placed at right end and was not replaced in a single game. Although somewhat awkward at first, he developed into a fast and steady end. To see him sack a forward pass was a real treat. He was also man- ager, and managed the team very creditably. Our regret is that he will not he with the squad next year. WILLIAMS Williams, who distinguished himself most with his splendid tackles, deserves lots of praise. He played left end and it was almost impossible for the opposing team to get away with anything. He tackled big and little, large and small with equal vim and they were sure to stop. He is small bill full of pep whether on the practice ground or in a game. REEL Archie was among the first to report for Football. He was with the squad in the first game, and was in the Iray in the lasL, but in different posi- tions. He was first placed at left-tackle but was changed to half-back. In this position he found his place, and became distinguished for his ability to twist and squirm his way through the opposing line. It may be said he showed as much football knowledge as one could the first year. We are looking for him to be a “Reel” factor in the line-up next year. JEFFERSON Milton never felt discouraged. He knew how to encourage a man when encouragement was needed. He was captain ol I he team; and his field position was full-back. No one was ever too quick or too big for “Captain Jeff.” in miniT.

He loved the game and showed it in his playing. Altho little, he made that up with speed and hard work. He will no doubt be an indis- pensible man next year. Coack called him the ‘ Wandering Missionary ” but he made a good football player. BOWEN “Tim ’ Bowen, guard, was a Stonewall in the line and always did his share and more every lime.He was in every game and con Id always be depended on. Looking forward to next year we predict “Tim” being one of the best Football men A. C. C. will ever turn out. ROUSE ‘ Dick” came gradually. He served his apprentice as a “sub”, but before the season ended he was one of the first eleven. ‘Dick” probably made more progress than any other fellow on the team. The gayety with which he scans the field is sure to win admiration. He has been appointed Captain for next year, and is in good live to hold the position of either end or tackle. MANNING “Bill” played left end, and was distinguished by the confidence which the team placed in him for going forward and receiving a long pass. When the young ladies in the grand stand could stop admiring his beauty, then they admired his playing. He looks a bit delicate, but he is all a man. JEFFERSON Bonner, or “Snookie” as he is known, cannot occupy much ground at one time, but he was found to always hold the important position. He is distinguished for always coming out late for practice. He delighted in the effort of an opposing team to run a play over our right ‘half-back”. GREY “Reliable” Grey, who was one of our fastest and most reliable men this season deserves much credit (for his brilliant playing). His position was at left and Grey was always there for the ball. He played a last end and it took a good man to stap with him. Grey was a credit to the squad and school. We expect to hear from him more next year. WHITEHEAD Whitehead, known on the field as wuApplewhite , was the long man on the team. He did justice to his position, left guard. He was always out for practice and ready to go in the game no matter who was opposing him. BRINSON Zeb is the tackle who doesn't say much about it, but who makes the play go. What he lacks in height he makes up in velocity. He trusts everybody like a gentleman, and expects to be trusted the same way. He is good to work a trick for his own side, or catch up with one from the other team. The boys all like him. HOOTEN Hooten loves the game. He is known to us as “Rube”, but visiting teams know him as w‘hot center ’. Just before the ball is snapped he shakes hands with the opposite center, and as soon as it is snapped he gets by him. You can count on him for some clever remark; and he always wants to know “When is the next game?” BOWEN Hilary Bowen, although not a regular on the Football eleven, did good work during the time that he was in. He held his guard down excellently, and also made some bad holes in the opposing line. Hilary is expected to be one of the team’s most reliable men next season. He was one of the most consistent men on the squad. mimmiuiiirjgmunfliminrmiinruimLinninnuiTrrmiTmriirrairinia ATHLETICS OF A. C. C. The spirit and the interest manifested here in College athletics are unexcelled anywhere. The athletic spirit is of a finer grade than is usually seen in college in that it brings all eligible candidates out to try for the teams. The athletic association corsists of the whole student body, and is well organized. There are four distinct departments of the association. These are: the tennis de- partment, the basketball department, the football department and the baseball de- partment. Tennis is a favorite game among the students in the fall and spring and the courts are in use from early morn until dusk. The basketball depaitment has two divisions. A boy’s team and agirl’s team, teams have been better this year than ever before. Much enthusiasm and rooting are displayed at the games and mingled with these is that pull together spirit which makes the teams victorious. The football department was added to our association this year. The team was unexperienced but they played the game with the determination to win for our col- lege fame in the athletic world. Lnder Captain Milton Jefferson, one of the best un- experienced players, and a splendid leader, and under Coach Blackburn’s guidance, the team developed into a splendid working machine and was full of fight from the beginning until the final whistle. With Mr. M. H. Grant, one fo the State's best athletes, as coach for this year's baseball team, and with much promising material with which to work, we are an- ticipating a very successful season in baseball.

M., ’21. : HI c AN APPRECIATION OF LOWELL’S To the Dandelion Come with me and lets hasten through the halls of imagination to the side of the road where we stop to fix our gaze upon a bed of flowers. Lowell's vision was wide, his imagination vivid, although simple thoughts were portrayed in this poem. To our minds quickly comes the picture. The simplicity and the commonness of the flower seems to suggest some quality to make it more beautiful still to the onlooker, and thus we ponder on the words: “Dear common jloiccr, that groiv’st beside the way, Fringing the dusky road with harmless gold, until nature’s beauty reaches forth and claims it as her own. Found by the wondering, roaming child the flower gives it message of love and sunshine. Glistening as from a pot of gold over- turned the splendor is matchless. To no one does it deny its fragrance, the hearts of rich and poor alike does it gladden iu springtime. Its value few realize and few know that, Tis the Spring's largess, which she scatters now To rich and poor alike, with lavish hand. Though most hearts never understand To take it at God's value, but pass by The offered wealth with unrewarded eye. A peace, a warmth, and a glow is found while looking upon this bed. Our thoughts are turned back to warmer climes and time and space are not heeded for the eye is within the heart. To the bee in summer-time a great store room it is for sweets, and in for the waiting ones. It's mission it fulfills for the shadows of grass cannot hide it, and breeze only makes the gleam more brilliant. Childhood's thoughts are linked with those things so beautiful and gay for thus, The sight of thee calls back the robin's song, who from the dark old tree Beside the door, sang clearly all day long. The song is so beautiful that our thoughts wander again to the realms above. Radiant forms seem to be heralding the song of quiet. Every day stays unstained and pure in my lile, when for my companions I have the flowers and birds. These to us show some glympse of God's world of beauty in the common place. On swift wings do they speed. We liken their movings to the passing of time and the remembering of past deeds both happy and sad. No way of seeing God's love is so good as observing it in nature. It doth reveal to us that she is, “Full of deep love thou art, yet not more full Than all the common brethren of the ground, Wherein, were we not dull. Some ivords of highest wisdom might be found; and brings soothings to life's bitterest aches and longings. Again, How like a prodigal doth Nature seem. When thou, tor all thy gold, so sommon art! The beauty thus appears fresh and we dream of its use. Flowers teach us the secret of peace, the sacredness of the human heart, and reflect to us the joy of God's heaven if we would but listen to their message. Each flower represents an open page in God's great book. Nature is comforting and cheering. Simple beauty is her theme for happiness. Here high and noble thoughts are found so true to the atmosphere in which they were created. No one grows too old to enjoy the beautiful, and flowers have the perfume of youth, and indeed to them let us say, “Ah, ive owe Well more than half life's holiness to these Nature's first lowly influences. At thought of which the heart's glad doors burst open, In dreariest days, to welcome peace and hope. A. M., ’21. ft. VVIm OJLfc. cK. l j3A vs_y nrsxt' I 1 PHI EPSILON TAU Established at A. C.

Just icon dering if this way, hell chance to pass along. To watch here by this window, will you, pray with me, And if your eyes are very good, this it what you'll see. Slow from near the window merges soft a form, Tears like he's waiting there for a certain one. But its now past eleven, sleeping all should be Must be some one wailing, waiting there for me. Then out of the door I passed, feeling oh! so queer. Hoping still, you see, that no one else could hear; Alas! when I reached the landing, I listened long and halted, Down from the second floor, flowed sounds of doors unbolted; Breathlessly I wailed, straining ears lor sounds, Silence mocked at me, so I chanced to venture down. sat upon the stairway, longing so jor someone, IT hen slowly toward me moved, this charming, mystic person; Chills of fear then smote me, I knew not whence he came. So upon the steps I lingered, wondering what's his name; 11 hen slow my courage faltered, I dared not look for awe. The moonlight was so bright, that quid: and soon I saw— Oh! quick what did you see, of me so many ask, Alas! vou see 'tis true, he was sitting there at last, IT as just waiting here for you,'' he murmured soft and low, “ was so very lonely over in the Dorm' you know. Glancing up a second, I saw him wondrous tall. If hen on my burning cheek, a tear did chance to fall. Crossing swift the campus, hand in hand we sped. And with these words he stopped me quick, and then he said, “Why not let's go —and then the door—it opened wide In walked the Dean, ‘’Why child! she cried. And by the window waiting, wondering still am I, On those fancies pondering, wondering why I sigh. Oh! cruel dreams to take this hour o' mine, I wake to find tis but a dream—I pine; The gong soon sounds the hour, the time has gone, I find A precious date I've lost, alas! fate is unkind.

V am pish Hooter Even Outlaws can be very sympathetic at times. Our Outlaw was heard to remark in a hushed tone: “The poor lrog is dead and does not know it.” A. C. C. is well known for its distinguished people. At one time there was seen on the campus a Batchelor, an Angel, a Wolff, a Bishop and an Outlaw. Dr. fl oaten: “How many axones and dendrites does a neurone have?” Kat: “Any number of axones and a pile ol dendrites.” A child’s definition of Sentences: I. Some sentences tell you to do something. Some ask questions and the others are those that make you hurry up. Mrs. Grim: “Who is the author ol the prodigal son?” Lloyd Chapman: “Isn't it Poe?” Dark: “Who was King during the war of the Iloses, Brown? Brown : “I Iardane I la.” Dr. II oaten: “Is there anyone in the room who has never been vaccinated for small pox?” Mary Lamm: “1 never have.” Dr. Wooten: “I knew there was someone in here trying to evade the law. Mr. Outlaw: “You are a regular Outlaw, Mary?” Agnes Jenkins (naming Shakespeare’s plays): “Macbeth, Hamlet,, The Vicar of Wake- field.” Miss Smith (to a piano student who seemed unconscious that she was repeatedly striking wrong notes) : “If you’d fix your hair another way you could tell when you strike a wrong note.” Rosa Dridgeon (to Roy Vandilord, who was sitting on the campus with Ruby Cannon and Pearl Peed): “Roy, which do you like better, Rubies or Pearls?” Roy: “1 like Roses better.” Dr. Wooten: “How do you know that a Euglena is an animal instead of a plant?” Dolly: “It is isn’t stationary. It can lake up its feet and walk.” Zoology Class: “Why does the worm have so many hearts?” Dr. Woaten: “It is a hearty animal.” One hot afternoon while the boys were practicing football, Milton Jefferson was putting forth a great effort and finally sent the ball bounding away. Bonner (seriously): Now, Milton, I guess you will have to wash your feet. English E had been studying the style of various writers. After discussing such words as tinkle, murmur, and thunder, Lloyd Chapman very seriously asks, “Mrs. Grim, are those words what you call stylish?” Mr. Outlaw, when asked to compare the earthworm’s stomach with that of the cray fish, dryly said: The earthworm’s stomach is one long intestine.” Miss Kearney and Christine Whitley were walking on the campus. Christine: “Here goes Mutt and Jeff. Miss Kearney: “Ob, no, I have on my high heel shoes today. I have to write on the board and I wore these shoes so I would not have to stand on the chalk box.” Bible Exam: I. Who was Matthew? Kat: “A Republican.” Droj. Grim: “I thought he was a Democrat.” Marion Brinson walks into the room where English Examination is being given exactly one- half hour late, looks around with a puzzled expression and remarks, “Oh, you see, 1 needed thirty minutes extra study.” Grady: “Mr. Sadler, if we use this book for outside reading then we can get credits in any University, can't we? Mr. Sadler: “Yes, if you tell them who taught it. Dr. W oaten: ‘TIow many vertebrae in the frog, Mr. Bowen?” “Tim”: “You mean in the foot?” Dr. Wooten, (solemnly): “Ves.” Agnes: “That hole in the vertebrae is called foramen.” Dr. Wooten: “The phonerang ? ? ! ! I jus' shivered and shuck, though sure I d freeze, Sumptin tickled my nose. I hud to sneeze— Ker-choo, ker-choo! mi soon gety ou ! Ker-choo, ker-choo! What ever'iI I do?

It seems as though it is far away and yet it's steady clink clink, clink, comes so persistently that I am sure it must be near by. As 1 listen my thoughts wander while 1 stare out of the window, at nothing in particular. Yet I appear to be seeing something very interesting. I am again at A. C. C. It has been raining all night and even now I can hear the windows rattle as the fierce north wind khizzes around the corner and comes in to pinch my nose. Yaugely I am aware of a sound in the distance. Nearer and nearer it comes until its mes- sage ‘get up. ‘‘get up reaches my ears. Is this me, or is it some one else? Surely I must be dreaming. Why that can't be the rising bell. I have just gone to sleep. Slowly I raise myself up far enough to peep out of the window. Now 1 know 1 was dreaming, for see how dark it is without? I'll just snuggle down for a comfortable morning nap. One can sleep so soundly when the rain is lazily pattering down and no one seems to be stirring around. Hark! I hear another sound. Surely that can't be the breakfast bell. No. It is only one of the girls singing: “Oh. Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone? Why can't people learn to be considerate? If 1 had to get up and prowl around in the middle of the night 1 am sure I should not try to keep every one else awake. Even the pillow will not drown the strains of the beautiful melody. Someone calls out. “Where is my middy tie, who wore it last? Very much disgusted I manage to open my eyes long enough to look at my watch. Without further hesitation I step into my bed-room slippers, and in exactly ten minutes I am calmly standing back of my chair in the dining room with my hair neatly combed and my collar all straight. No one seems surprised to see me there. C. W., ’22. CAMPUSED A balmy day in bleak December, I innocently ate candy sweet In Katie's room, as I remember When soft! we heard the tread of feet! The deanery entered—with a look to vamp us; “Girls, you know, this means you're campused.” In vain we cried aloud for mercy. And ice have dates with Charlie, Percy. H e said the candy smelled so good— Could she deny us such good food? She shook her head, this art would stamp us. And doomed we'd be for one week campused. Up came Bill with a cheery grin, 'I reckon I'll see you at one today . looked so guiltless, without a sin And said in a sort of ordinary ways ‘7 could—but I'm scared the dean would lamp us. For a week, Billy boy, yours truly is campused. E.

Paul fell down and broke his crown, And Beth came tumbling after. Dell ittf , DeW itte. the banker s son, Failed in his classes one by one. Classes were fleet, and DeWitte was beat, And DeWitte went running down the street. There teas a girl in our class. And she teas wondrous wise. She jumped into biology. And broke three sets of knives. And when she found she'd broken them, W ith all her might and main She went to work and tried to mend The broken knives again. JAttic Miss “Kat Sat on a mat Fating her curds and whey; When along came a rat. Who sat on the mat And frightened Miss “Kat’’ away. There was a stern dean Who lived in her room. She had so many children They 'most spelled her doom. She fed them on soup Without any bread. And scolded them soundly And sent them to bed. Aye, aye! Mrs. Ross, have you any food? Yes sir, yes sir, three plates full. One for the girls and one for the boys, And one for the faculty who make a great noise. What Is Research? SUPPOSE that a stove burns too much coal for the amount of heat that it radiates. The manufacturer hires a man familiar with the principles of combustion and heat radiation to make experiments which will indicate desirable changes in design. The stove selected as the most efficient is the result of research. Suppose that you want to make a ruby in a factory —not a mere imitation, but a real ruby, indistinguish- able by any chemical or physical test from the natural stone. You begin by analyzing rubies chemically and physically. Then you try to make rubies just as nature did, with the same chemicals and under similar conditions. Your rubies are the result of research— research of a different type from that required to improve the stove. Suppose, as you melted up your chemicals to pro- duce rubies and experimented with high temperatures, you began to wonder how hot the earth must have been millions of years ago when rubies were first crystallized, and what were the forces at play that made this planet what it is. You begin an investigation that leads you far from rubies and causes you to formulate theories to explain how the earth, and, for that matter, how the whole solar system was created. That would be research of a still different type—pioneering into the unknown to satisfy an insatiable curiosity. Researchofall threetypes isconducted in the Laboratoriesof the General Electric Company. But it is the third type of research— pioneering into the unknown—that means most, in the long run, even though it is undertaken with no practical benefit in view. At the present time, for example, the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company are exploring matter with X-rays in order to discover not only how the atoms in different sub- stances are arranged but how the atoms themselves are built up. The more you know about a substance, the more you can do with it. Some day this X-ray work will enable scientists to answer more definitely than they can now the question: Why is iron magnetic? And then the electrical industry will take a great step forward, and more real progress will be made in five years than can be made in a century of experimenting with existing electrical apparatus. You can add wings and stories to an old house. But to build a new house, you must begin with the foundation. Schenectady, N. Y. 95-379-1 THE WILSON SANATORIUM Drs.
