Mr. Grim, our Professor of Education, is loved, admired and esteemed by all the students. His cheerful disposition and ready smile win for him a place in the hearts of all. He is not satis- fied with the present things, but continues to strive for the higher, as is evidenced by the fact that he usually spends his vacations in Univer- sity work. He is a faithful worker, and gives service to those who need help. We wish for him the best things in every way that life has to offer. 11 His life was gentle, and the elements so mix'd in him, that Nature might stand up and sag to all the world, ‘ This was a man. ’ ” Ethel McDiarmid Grim, A.M.

Mrs. Grim, familiarly known to the Dramatic Club members as “step-mama,” is a real En- glish teacher; she keeps the students alert, wait- ing to hear what she will say next. One of her favorite “stunts” is to read a part of a story in class, and leave it for the student to finish before, another recitation, thus stimulating interest She is no less gifted in teaching Expression. Mrs Grim is noted for her ability to entertain, and through her excellent leadership, the Dramatic Club parties have become famois.

ft. ft. ftilltp E want to subject President Hilley to the and endurance. three-fold test of speed, style, He is now thirty-one years of age, and has been College President two years, College Dean one year, Director of Vocational Guidance in Atlanta, Georgia, one year, College Professor two years, and President of the Wilson Rotary Club one year. He is a graduate of Transylvania College and of Oxford University—having spent three years in that time-honored institution as a Rhodes scholar from Ken- tucky. Few young men have shown greater speed in the attainment of success. His style is likewise attractive. When he was made Dean of Atlantic Christian College that adolescent was still wearing “C” clothing. After he was President one year the State said a “ B’1 suit would fit. But nothing less than an “ A’ ’ gar- ment would satisfy the academic style of the new President, and so when the graduates leave at the close of the twenty-first session, their caps and gowns will be cut and fitted in an educational style-shop of the first order with “Tailor” Hilley as the head designer. The next test is not so easily applied. We can guess, but that is not testing. Personally we believe there is no quality of his make-up more promising. We would guess that the first two qualifies which have given him such standing in the confidence of the Disciples of North Carolina, will be continually enhanced by years of efficient service. We would guess, again, that if the brotherhood will respond to the demands of an “A” grade College, with President Hilley’s sane and constructive program, the Church of Christ in the Old North State in a few years need not be ashamed to compare her college with any church school in the South. A weakening on the part of the brotherhood in this regard is the only handicap to the last named quality, and this is indeed an improbable eventuality. Never has Atlantic Christian College gone forward with more rapid strides than now. Never has she looked fairer to her admirers and fiiends. Never has she needed more sorely the continued statesmanlike administration of the present. Mr. Hilley, you are the Man of the Hour.

She does not feel at home at any place other than the “math” classroom and the halls of A. C. C. Even though she is always peeping to see if there is a boy wherever she sees a girl, all of us love her. She is a woman of quiet dignity, and she always has the interest of the girls at heart. “Miss Fannie” has a wonderful way of showing her interest in us, and is a real friend to all who know her at A.
