Its ageing bricks, its worn floors, its name-scratched walls, all have their indelible place in our hearts. But it will change; it must change, and in our love we dream great things for this A. C. C. of ours. It will be years—few or many?—before our vision mate- rializes. We see what we now wish for: a larger campus, with paved driveways, beautiful shrubbery, attractive walks, and comfortable benches. In this lovely Southern climate of ours, Nature’s great out-of-doors is our playground in which to receive the rich blessings of beauty. What more do we see? Our greatest need—adequate buildings, with modern equipment for research work; a library of several thousand books; an auditorium with many comfortable seats and a stage to delight the heart of a professional; reception rooms; large, airy bedrooms, with private sitting rooms adjoining. This is our dream! How short is the time we stay here, but long enough to instill in our hearts the desire to see our college grow, and the determination to make our dreams come true. 'W M Eleven Twelve President Howard S. Hilley Among the prominent men whose names have recently been associated with A. C. C.’s growth and development, the foremost figure has been that of Pres- ident Hilley. He has the welfare of the college as his one big objective in life. It is his aim and desire to make Atlantic Christian College one of the first insti- tutions of the South, capable of accomplishing the great tasks which he has before it. Since he came here, about seven years ago, steady progress has been made in the affairs of the college. The student body has grown, until now the build- ings are taxed to their utmost capacity with students. The Library has been increased, and the general standard of instruction has been raised so that it is now a credit to the Disciples of Christ in North Carolina. We predict even great- er changes for the future, for President Hilley is a man of great executive ability, common sense, and with an unfaltering faith, both in his work and humanity.

C. 1924-25 Secretary Senior Class, Secretary Alethian Society Agnes, “our little Senior, is another one of our Wilson girls. Although she will admit that there are many things she would rather do than study (for instance, talk to John), you really would not know this from her marks. Agnes does nothing extreme, and yet does everything well. On short acquaintance, she may seem quiet, but after knowing her better, one sees that she is talkative and full of fun. She is usually smiling and always friendly. “ Never trouble trouble ’til trouble troubles you RUTH J. SKINNER Farmville, N. C. 1922-23—Secretary of H. L. S., Chairman World Fellowship Committee of Y. W. C. A.; 1923-24— Secretary of Fellowship Club, Vice President II. L. S., Chairman Program Committee Y. W. C. A., Member Religious Education Committee, Assistant Business Manager Pine Knot; 1924-25— Winner of Faculty Loving Cup, President Y. W. C. A., President Athletic Association, Critic II. L. S., Assistant Editor Pine Knot, Debater II. L. S. Ruth has a good personality, an indomitable will, tact, and common sense. She is self- expressive, persistent, modest, sensible, courageous, versatile, and practical. She is loved by all—professors and students. She is a very enthusiastic leader. She is a scholar of rare ability. Her future is promising. “ To improve one's mind—ah, that is a worthy ambition ” Eighteen Vivian Holden Dolly Louise Lewis VIVIAN HOLDEN Wilson, N. C. 1924-25—Prophet of Senior Class “She is wise, if I can judge her, and fair she is, if mine eyes be true! But that is not all Vivian is. She is a real “honest to goodness girl. She never pushes herself forward, but she is ready to do her part in anything, at any time. One never asks “Vive to do something and meets with a refusal. She possesses sympathy—that rare quality which makes a friend. She can laugh with the happy, weep with the weary, and as a specialty, she can love with lovers. All in all, she is just the kind of girl one cannot forget. DOLLY LOUISE LEWIS Wilson, N. C. 1924-25—Vice President Senior Class, Critic of A. L. S. Dolly is the type of girl that we all like. Confiding, affectionate, sincere, and faithful, with a keen sense of humor and a deep feeling for the finer things of life—this is our Dolly. She is one of the truest friends a girl ever had. Her winning ways and her ability to prove her friend- ship have won for her a place in manv hearts—both among the students and the professors. We are sure she will succeed in whatever she decides to make her life's work. “Not too sober, not too gay, but a true blue girl in every way Nineteen REBA M. STUBBS Wilson, N. C. 1923-24—President Phi Sigma Tan Sorority; 1924-25—Assistant Business Manager of Pine Knot. Reba is a genuine girl. For four years she has gladdened our hearts with her merry smile and contagious enthusiasm. Though we love her, we are tempted to envy her, for the gods were unusually kind in giving her beauty, dramatic ability, and a charming personality. Her’s i ta life that will find happiness in everything and everywhere. “Her eyes are stars of twilight fair, Like twilightt too, her dusky hair. MAE STANCILL WASHINGTON', N. C. 1924-25—Secretary II. L. S.t President Senior Class, President Sigma Tan Chi Sorority, President A-l Club. Our President, Mae! Capable, energetic, and tactful. We admire her for her loyalty to her school, to her class, and to her friends; we love her for her beauty of character and constancy of purpose. Being a friend to all has made for her a host of friends. We can truly say with Wordsworth: “ A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command Twenty Margaret Louise Tomlinson Parron G. Gallop MARGARET LOUISE TOMLINSON Wilson, N. C. 192 -2o—Wit Editor of the Pine Knot Louise is one of these students who take college life more or less seriously—which is why we are inclined to believe her when she tells us that she is going to take her M. A. at Columbia. A girl of high as; irations is our Louise. Truly a pursuer of knowledge for the sake of knowledge, a student in love with her studies. But this is only part of what we like about Louise. Unfailing, loyal, sincere, frank, ready always to sacrifice her own pleasure to that of others—these are the qualities we value most. Although quiet and unassuming, her friends find her sound as the finest of metals. We know she is going to succeed. We wish her happiness. “ To those who know thee not, no words can paint, And those who know thee know that words are faint PARRON G. GALLOP Jarvisburg, N. C. 1922-23—Winner of Inter-Society Oratorical Medal, Secretary of A. L. 5., President of A. L. 5., Manager of Football; 1923-24—President of Junior Class; 1924-25—Dramatic Editor of Pine Knot, Historian of Senior Class. Parron came to A. C. C. four years ago. He is interested in all student activities. He is a main star on the football field. Part of his leisure time he spends in discussing great orators. During his Freshman year he won the inter-societv Oratorical Contest. This year he repre- sented the Alethian Literary Society in the annual debate. We find him difficult to understand at times, but once understood, we have in him a staunch friend. His chief asset is confidence. “ They can who think they can Twenty-one Lill Winstead Charlie Grey Raulen LILL WINSTEAD Elm City, N. C. 1921-22—Chairman Y. W. Finance Committee; 1922-28—Chairman T. W. Social Service, Y. W. C. A. Delegate to Montreal; 1923-24—Secretary Wilson County Club; 1924-25—Vice Presi- dent Y. W. C. A., Student Chairman Red Cross Work. Lill has the reputation of always doing the right thing at the right time. She is well known on the campus for her share in the many activities of school life. Lill is always ready to do her part in any worthy undertaking. She has never let her studies interfere with an all-’round col- lege course, and is a typical Senior in every way. A heart as soft, a heart as kind, As in the whole world thou const find CHARLIE GREY RAULEN Wilson, N. C. 1921-22—Treasurer of A. L. S., Debater for A. L. S., Vice President of Dramatic Club; 1922 23—President of Dramatic Club, Pianist of A. L. S., Art Editor of Pine Knot, Secretary and Treas- urer of Class, Chairman of Program Committee of A. L. S.; 1923-24—President of Wilson County Club, Debater for A. L. S., Chairman of Program Committee of A. L. S., Art Editor of Pine Knot; 1924-25—President of A. L. S., Editor-in-Chief of the Pine Knot. We are told by the seers of old that the fairies attend the christening of souls. In the great throng of good fairies each contributes his favorite gift, but usually certain worthless trophies may be later discarded. Not so with our Charlie Grey. Judging from her extraordinary tal- ents, all of her fairies were true and noble. The versatility of her mind exhibits itself through many channels. Truly, music has its charms in her young life, for, as a music lover, she has dedicated her services as accompanist to amateur aspirants in the realm of son?. Her dramatic achievements have been instrumental in winning for her scores of friends. For does not the world offer laurels to an entertainer who can make sad hearts light and free, fatigued minds exhilarant and add renewed charm to living? Last, but not least, her literary abilities have reached the acme of success in the greatest venture of her life—Editor-in-Chief of the Pine Knot. As may be seen, in whatever realm she labors, success follows her pathway. “ True worth is in being, not seeming Twen tv-two Everett J. Harris Al Heath Mayfield EVERETT J. HARRIS Englehard, N. C. 1922-23—Chaplain A. L. S., President Fellowship Club, Member of Religions Education Com- mittee; 1923-24—Vice President A. L. S., Business Manager Pine Knot, Manager of Baseball; 1924-25—President A. L. S., Manager of Basket Ball, Manager of Baseball, Treasurer of Senior Class. His face shows the strength of his manly character. Eyes that do not waver in facing a prob- lem; a mouth whose firmness portrays his indomitable will. He seeks the truth, he speaks it with conviction. Preparing for a life work that will call upon him for all tasks, both pleasant and unpleasant, has made him patient—an enviable quality. “ would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift” AL HEATH MAYFIELD Austin, Texas 1921-24—University of Texas Al comes to us from Texas University to receive his degree. In these short months he has won for himself many friends. He is a man among men, not only in size, but in intellect. He is a lion among the ladies, admired by all, but like the butterfly, flits quickly from one fair flower to another. “ Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom ” Twenty-three Senior History At last, after years of genuine labor on the part of each individual composing the class of 1925, the time has come when such labor must be rewarded. Gone are the days when any member can recover one lost moment in which something great or good could have been accomplished. During the past four years we have been in train- ing for a worthy purpose, which is either to teach, to preach, or to be in other ways servants to our God in the upbuilding of humanity. During that time we have been guided by the principles and direction of this college, whose influence shall abide with us through- out the coming years. We have been benefited not only mentally, but also spiritually, morally, and socially. It is my purpose to unveil for you a few outstanding characteristics of the ten whose every ambition is to become some day leaders for good. Our class President, Mae Stancill, of Washington, possesses many charms. Our Vice President, Dolly Lewis, is Wilson’s queen, a loan to us for these four years. Vivian Holden, our prophet, is the beauty I? a ea e Kn attraction of Wilson and of A. C. C. Ruth Skinner, song writer, and Farmville’s future leader, has become a genuine suffragette. Parron Gallop, Historian, de- scribes himself as “Jarvisburg’s bud that is about to bloom.” Agnes Cobb, Secretary, is Wilson’s most notable society belle. Charlie Grey Raulen is without doubt Wilson’s most advanced actress and enter- tainer. Louise Tomlinson, of Wilson, possesses marked ability in domestic art. Reba Stubbs, Wilson’s school madam, is another attractive reader, kill Winstead is Elm City’s first-class artist. Now that we are leaving the college, we wish to acknowledge our debt to the students we have been associated with, and to the faculty for their patience and perseverance. Some day we shall be able to tell you in words and deeds how much we really have appreciated your assistance, your patience, your sym- pathy, and your love. Parron Gallop, Historian Twenty-five Senior Class Prophecy And it came to pass in the second month, on the seventh day of the month, in the fifth year of the reign of Howard of the house of Hilley, as I, Vivian, of the tribe of Seniors, was wandering in the wilderness of ologies and isms with other sojourners in the land of A. C. C., that the spirit of prophecy fell upon me, and I heard a voice saying, “Prophesy,” and I lifted up my voice and prophesied con- cerning the fate of my fellow tribesmen. And lo, I behold before mine eyes a great multitude gathered before the door of a fair palace, and I saw a great sign, and on it in letters of fire the inscription: “Spice of 1934” Featuring Charlie Gray Raulen with J. Park Nunn and other stars And in that day there arose among the people in that same country a certain wise man, Parron, son of Gallop, who, having in his heart the desire to become spokesman of his people, practiced diligently, even as did the great Demosthenes in his day. And lo, the people all harkened to the eloquence of his tongue and they elected him President of the United States. And among those who praised his name was one Everett of the renowned house of Harris, going about throughout all the land telling of his powers—and he spake unto the people, saying: “Hark ye unto the voice of this man, for he cometh to deliver you from the bondage of illiteracy, for in his administration shall be created a National Department of Education, and your public schools shall wax mightily in all the land.” And the words of the campaign speaker pleased the great Parron, and calling all the wise men about him, he questioned them, saying, “How shall I reward one who hath served me long and faithfully?” And they consulted among themselves and made answer, saying, “Give unto him the honor of being first National Secretary of Public Education, for he is a man of great wisdom.” And he said, “It shall be so.” And a voice from among them spake aloud, though with fear and trembling, for they stood in awe of the great Parron, saying unto him, “Master, she whom they call Ruth, of the city of Farm ville, sends greetings. She desires me to say that though ye were once obnoxious to her, being her political rival and not of the party of Democrats, still, doth she will ye no evil, but willeth to be like unto a sister to you, counseling you with words of wisdom concerning the ruling of this great nation.” And having given utterance to these words, he was silent, and the great Parron was pleased and answered, saying, “Verily she is fair of face. I will make her First Lady of the Land. ” And the word went out among the people, and they were glad. And Lill, fair daughter of the house of Winstead, communed with herself, saying, “Behold, what profiteth it me that I should teach all the days of my life Twenty-six j n 3 X a © ai Hfi in the city of Sharpsburg? Rather shall I take unto myself a husband.” And having enticed a young and innocent bridegroom, Joe by name, she departed with him and went into a far country. And all the Sharpsburgites lamented her departure for many days. Then Mae, the Washingtonite, seeing the example of her sister, said, “Lo, I will go and do likewise.” And so saying, she decked herself in purple and fine linen and went forth to meet the bridegroom—and I looked, and behold, it was “Bill.” And in my vision I beheld a room in which there were many little children, and in their midst one speaking to them in a heathen tongue. To her they all gave ear, for she spake as one having authority. And she lifted up her eyes, and beholding me, said. ” Parlez-vous Francaise ” So hearing, I knew it to be Louise. Therefore, I questioned her with these words, “Wherefore find I you here with- out the companion of thy youth, Dolly, of the house of Lewis, for she loved thee well, and in those days would not depart from following after thee ” And she, answering, said unto me, “Verily I say unto thee, she hath not parted from me, but hath abode, lo, these many years in the house of my brother, Louis, first born of my father’s house. And they have waxed strong and mighty in the land of Wilson, being rich in many cattle and fertile fields.” And I knew that it was well with her. And I turned in spirit to the land of A. C. C., which was the native land of the tribe of Seniors, and lo, there I beheld Agnes as she held with dignity and grace the chair of Mathematics, teaching theorems and comic sections to the fair youths and maidens of the land. And her praise was on every tongue, for she had been among them for many years, guiding and directing them in the ways of higher mathematics. And I lifted up my voice and said, “Verily, fair is the fame of my classmates.” And behold, the spirit of prophecy left me. Selah.

Warren Tuwity-eight Twenty-nine Last Will and Testament State of North Carolina County of Wilson We, the Senior Class of Atlantic Christian College, of the session of 1924-25, being of sound mind and conscious of the transitory nature of our Senior dignity, do declare this to be our last will and testament: Section I Item I—To our faculty in general we give our appreciation of the loyal sym- pathy and undying patience shown us by them during the past four years of our trials and tribulations, “joys, and what-nots, ” and a sincere wish for their success in all fields of their undertakings.

Park Nunn PAUL SOUTHARD Stokesdale, N. C. Paul is one of the most beloved members of the Junior class. He is an energetic, loyal preach- er and student. He is pastor of the little West End Christian Church, and is proving himself a true “shepherd of his flock.” “ The world belongs lo the energetic MACON MOORE Wilson, N. C. Macon Moore is a girl of whom the Junior class is exceedingly proud. She has a clear in- tellect and a kind heart. She is dependable, resolute, and true. A. C. C. is fortunate to have her. “A quiet, earnest, upright girl, who meets the world with a brave, ‘7 can. ” J. PARK NUNN Kinston, N. C. Park is the big little man of the Junior class. His office as Business Manager of the Pine Knot expresses our confidence in him. He is a general favorite among both faculty and stu- dents. His special interest lies in English and Dramatics. Our class will ever remain proud of l is ability in this work. “Small in stature, but often wise in judgment Thirty-two J uniors Janie Manning Alfred Flanagan Annie Harper JANIE MANNING Middlesex, N. C. In the sweetness and strength of her face we read the beauty and strength of her character; by the tones of her voice we know the gentleness of her disposition. Loved by all as a friend, admired by all as a ready and willing worker, Janie will hold a permanent place in the hearts of her A. C. friends. “She has a voice of gladness, and a smile, And eloquence of beauty” ALFRED FLANAGAN Farmville, N. C. Alfred Flanagan will be long remembered by those of the Junior class as friend and President. A1 has talents, among others being his ability to sing. On many occasions have we been de- lighted in hearing his melodious voice. A friend to all, and ever with a smile. A1—we hail thee! 14 Talking, he knew not why, and cared not what ” ANNIE HARPER Wilson, N. C. Annie is thoroughly incapable of doing anything wrong or questionable. She is sober-minded, and never becomes wild with joy over anything. Though not a dormitory student, she takes great interest in all college activities, and is always willing to do her part. She is a faithful church worker, and never hesitates when duty calls. All agree that she is one of the most likeable mem- bers of the Junior class. 44How e're it be, it seems to me, ’Tis only noble to be good ” Thirty-three Juniors Losker Bennett Nannie Pearl Quinerly Walter B. F. Randolph LOSKER BENNETT Arapahoe, N. C. Losker, one of A. C. C.’s most enthusiastic students, hails from the little city of Arapahoe. Entering here in the fall of 1920, he has been a regular attendant until Christmas of 1924, when he was married to Miss Sarah Herring of Goldsboro. As a student preacher, every week-end Losker went on a missionary tour in some part of Eastern North Carolina. There are few who surpass him in devotion to what they feel to be right. “ Duty is the sublimest word in the English language; one cannot do more than his duty, nor should he desire to do less. ” NANNIE PEARL QUINERLY Grifton, N.- C. We are expecting even greater things of Nannie Pearl during her Senior year. For three years she has proven herself efficient in all types of work. She is quite an asset to the religious and social life of the college. She is a true and loyal girl, whom we admire for her ability, her willingness, and her cheerfulness. “ The secret of being loved is in being lovely; and the secret of being lovely is in being unselfish WALTER B. F.. RANDOLPH Washington, N. C. For Walter there is nothing more fascinating than the great universe of science. His atti- tude toward a subject is that of curiosity and interest. In the religious side of life he is very active and enthusiastic. Much of his leisure time is spent in the city engineer’s office, and the remainder in the laboratory exploring the great material works of God in His universe. Walter’s philosophy seems to be this: “If it cannot be solved with science, the fault is in the science. I am going to find that fault and make a contribution to the world.” 11 If having a gift toward a field of ivork has anything to do with success, he will win. ” Thirty-four Juniors Belva Adkins Charles James Mittie Wiggins BELVA ADKINS Wilson, N. C. Belva is one of the college “babies,” not in age, but in size- Although she is so small, she has a great spirit, which makes her liked by all. She-is quite an artist, and is very entertain- ing at her work, especially in class. “ How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world CHARLES JAMES Rural Hall, N. C. The memory of Charles will be with us many years after he leaves the college. Courteous, willing, obliging, and similar adjectives describe his personality; grit, energy, and determination characterize his work. “A fertile brain, a calm and purposeful spirit MITTIE WIGGINS Elm City, N. C. Mittie Wiggins, our Junior representative from Elm City, is a quiet, unobtrusive, persistent, ambitious, loyal, lovable personality. Her smiles and curls will alwa s be welcome to our class and to the student body at large. “Her eyes are eyes of innocence, And her voice is soft and sweet Thirty-five Junior History The class of ’20 began as all other Freshman classes. Thirty-nine of the most competent came and organized at Atlantic Christian College. The time of seeing strange sights and saying strange things (common to all Freshmen) was soon over, and we settled down for a while to serious thoughts of study and plans for the future. We soon learned that to be college students we must possess a certain amount of dignity as well as common sense. We were a band of happy friends when we returned in September, 1923, after a happy and prosperous vacation. After all the wise counsel our beloved pro- fessors gave us, about the importance of “sticking to our task” and getting an education, only nineteen returned, but two more knowledge seekers joined our ranks. We were eager to begin our work as wise Sophomores. The first thing we found real joy in was in treating the “Freshies” as the Sophomores of the year before had treated us. We were kind enough to want to be fair, and so we treated them just about as roughly as does a cat playing with a little mouse. Most of our class are representatives of small towns near Wilson: There are some from Farmville, Washington, Kinston, Grifton, Lueama, Elm City, Middlesex, and Wilson. As a result of this nearness, we can go home often, prob- ably a bad thing for us intellectually and socially (in one way). After another vacation has passed, we are happy to return to our dear old A. C. C. and see all our old friends and to begin the usual process of making new ones. When we meet a Freshman in the hall and he says, “Are you a Freshman, too?” we are proud to say, “No, I am a Junior.” Is it not strange that they cannot tell us from one of their own ? Our group has both decreased and increased. The number has decreased from twenty-one to fourteen. One of these boarded the ship of Matrimony, and is sailing on. The other, a newcomer, this year has left us for other work. We have one “town boy,” who gave up his profession of teaching to join our learned group this year. Our representative from Farmville, A1 Flanagan, our nightingale, decided he liked the A. C. C. Glee Club better than that of Wake Forest. We are glad to have him as our President now. So, in our Junior year, we are proud, of our class, at one time diminishing, and then increasing, but always keeping the best. Mittie Wiggins To the Juniors (With apologies to Joseph Addison Behold, on campus gay and free The Juniors of our A. C. C. The fast approaching final year imparts An anxious hope to the bravest hearts; Hence do their hearts go out to strife. And the future hopes control the love of life. No evil fears can Junior minds control: Heat of progress and noble pride of soul O’erlooking the world, the waiting host; Though study and labor possessed the middle space, That unprovoked they will not fear to pass, Nor study nor labor can stop this noble band, When for need of these the waiting world doth stand. But, O my Muse, what numbers wilt thou find To sing the golden gains of mind? Methinks I hear the Juniors’ cheering sound, The victors’ shouts and songs of glee compound, The cheering rings of victory peal throughout the hall, And onward moves the class, each and all. Tis now many a Junior’s soul has proved That, in the shock of pressing exams unmoved, Amidst confusion, much studying, and despair, Examined all the dreadful scenes of now gone year; In peaceful thought the year of work surveyed, To fainting spirits comes with timely aid Inspiring rest, needed by Juniors all. And again prepare to work when comes the call. So when a Junior by great demand. With rising tempests shakes the land, Such as e’er o’er our America may pass, Calm and serene he drives the furious blast, And, pleased by noble duties to perform, Rides the whirlwind, directs the ship through storm.

We did not realize that the glo- rious year of 1923 would hold such wonderful honors and surprises. Let us go back to see how the start was made two years ago. In September, 1923, there appeared on the campus of A. C. C. representative specimens from all over North Carolina and other states. On our arrival we first matriculated, the face value of which equaled $. Getting settled was like a Chinese wedding. Surprises—welcomed or regretted—awaited us at every turn. Our “wives” and homes were selected for us, and we had to bear the consequences. Banquets and socials were planned for us. We made a few social blunders, but they were covered with smiles because of our importance. Then the old stu- dents decided that they would cure us of what they called our “Freshness,” be- cause we were getting all of the attention. On the whole, we had a very successful year. Our Freshman Class was the largest in the history of the college. We had our “ups and downs,” ’tis true, but we accomplished many things of which we are proud. In the literary socie- ties and in the other activities of our college we achieved success. We made many friendships which will last through life. We had many good times and re- ceived new dreams and aspirations for the future after we had received the cov- eted position of Soph in May. After a happy, though short vacation, we found ourselves back on the campus in September—Sophomores—“upper classmen” at last. Much to our grief and sorrow, we found several missing from our number. What happy days we spent together, renewing “auld acquaintances” and making new friends. T1 e Fresh- men became our special charge. We made it certain that they should receive as good a reception as we had one year before. For several days and especially “nights” we did our best to get them placed and to give them a lively time. No class of A. C. C. has ever had so bright an outlook as the Sophomore Class of this year is now facing. We have hitched our wagon to a star. A. C. C. will receive the best we can give. As to the members of this class, nature has been generous almost to the degree of extravagance, for it was this class that con- tributed two of her noble sons, Boswell and Philpott, for the annual debate. Also the most accomplished voice and piano students, as well as several of dramatic ability, are found in this class. Too, we see signs of the world’s next Mary J. Holmes in Rose Tilghman. And measured by athletic standards, the class is not found wanting. As a class of Sophomores our days are far spent. We have had our work and our play, still we are not satisfied. We know that “a little learning is a dangerous thing. ” We cry for more knowledge, a higher appreciation of life, and more love. Looking backward, we see ourselves standing homesick and afraid at the half open door of the Freshman year; looking forward, we see the glorious “vision” of “Juniordom” beckoning to us to come on.

Fifty-six A Freshman s First Letter Home Dere Folks: I am writing you to let you know I am still hear. The eushins I brought with me shure did help out a whole lot. I am still using one of them. I got here to Wilson and the kunductor put me off right at the station. I didn’t know where the collige wuz, so dreckly a man asked me wuz I goin to school here. I told him no sir, but I would like to. He carried me to the collige in a auto, and left me there. Before he left he held out his hand and said 50 cents. I thought he was pretty stingy to make a feller pay just because he give him a lift. Well, I went around and did what they call matrickalatin. I didn’t know what I had done, but they said that was what it was, so I didn’t argey. You know you all told me not to show off any. The boy I have to room with is a preacher. I tried to sleep on a little, narrow bed, but every time I would go to sleep, the bed would turn over and lay on top of me. About 12 o’clock sum boys come around and told me to come with them. They earned me out and stood me on a post and said ‘‘Sing. ” I did the best I could, but they took me down and used a whole lot of belts on me. They made me take a cold bath, but I didn’t need one cause I took one the week before I left home. They shure do feed you here. Prunes is the national dish of this collige. One of my teachers told me I was a verdant student. I haven’t looked that word up yet, but it was something funny, cause everybody laughed. Well, Pa, here cums the man what makes us go to bed. Will write again soon. Your homesick boy. Fifty-seven Fifty-eight 9 Fifty-nine An Appreciation “Music is the universal language which appeals to the universal heart of mankind. Its thrills pervade all nature—in the hum of the tiniest insect, in the tops of the wind-smitten pines, in the sol- emn diapason of oceans.'’ Music represents the joyful, the beautiful, making its appeal through the ear to the heart. The emotions of primitive man were expressed in rhythmical movements of his feet, or the clapping of his hands. The music of the mother’s lullaby is one of the first sounds heard by the infant. There is no language so meaningful, that in its very emotion finds its expression. It has played a very important part in youth, in love, in patriotism, in worship, and in every field of action. Pure music is no longer written merely for the sake of art, but to express some feel- ing. However, it may be said that music is the most beautiful and ideal of all arts. “ In music the most indefinite and profound mysteries are revealed and placed outside ns as a gracious marvelous globe; the very secret of the soul is brought forth and set in the audible world.” Sixtv Ivy May Smith, B.

It is headed this year by a very capable set of officers, with J. Park Nunn as President. Ruby Crockett as Secretary, and Hilton Windley as Treasurer. It is a very successful organization, and one of the most prac- tical and democratic clubs on the campus. It has contributed much to the school and especially to the societies in the way of entertainment. Two programs of special interest have been given this year. “Daddy Long Legs,” the commencement play, was repeated in September, playing to a large audience. The second was given for the benefit of the Boys’ Lobby Fund, and was composed of several readings and a one-act comedy, “Thursday Evening.” The Club has a few engagements scheduled at neighboring towns for the next month. These will finish the Club’s work for the year, as no commencement play will be given. “Daddy Lo” A Four-Act Comedy Presented by the Dramatic Club Characters Jervis Pendleton, an aristocratic bachelor.......

The latest methods and devices are being used successfully. This class is made up mostly of town students, although there are many boarding students taking this work.

But there are other states which have made a recognized contribution, as have members of other denominations throughout the Eastern section. In the year 1900 several faithful Disciples in North Carolina had the vision of a great college for the purpose of training young men and women for Christian service. These men, by sacri- fice, toil, and hard work, brought their ideals to realities by presenting to the Disciples in North Carolina the great cause, which was so readily accepted. They met the need like real men by responding with their hard-earned money to be used in starting a college. From October 30 to November 2, 1901, the 57th North Carolina Missionary Convention met at Kinston, N. C., at which time a committee reported the purchasing of the Kinsey Seminary in Wilson, N. C., from the Wilson Education Association. The institution was named Atlantic Christian College and incorporated May 1, 1902. From that time the college has grown, until we now have an A-grade institution. We owe all this to the churches, and without the fine support given by them in money and service, there could never have existed such a school as this one, of which we are so proud today. Not only are the churches responsible for the origin and life of the college; they are responsible for a majority of the student body. The churches do not send their boys and girls to Atlantic Christian College because the school is made possible by them and because they would support it with numbers of students; they send their boys and girls here because the college offers work that is superior, for the purpose of training Christian men and women for the duties of tomorrow. The college seeks to train them in unity with all people, and as broad-minded, well-balanced men and women. The college is indebted to the churches who have been so loyal in making possible the main- tenance that has permitted such a great work to be done here. For the past five years Disciples in the Carolinas have averaged giving $7,094.79 a year, purely for maintaining Atlantic Christian College. They have also established an endowment fund. This shows that the college has a backing financially with Christians, which has made it possible for us to exist and grow. It owes to them its educational ideals. These ideals will lead humanity on into higher and more abundant life. These are made realistic here under the efficient, Christian leadership of President H. S. Hilley. Many of the greatest Christian leaders help in this by coming to the Chapel and addressing the student body on some of the most vital questions, which make possi- ble the development of these ideals into Christian character. The college owes to the churches its largest opportunity to serve. The field is large and the laborers are few. The college can render a greater sendee to the needs of the world if the churches will use this matchless opportunity. All we are and all we hope to be we owe to them. They alone can make possible a larger life for the college, which will glorify God and serve mankind in this world, and in the world to come give eternal life to many, by continuing this greatly need- ed help. Paul C. Southard Seventy-seven T. W. C. A. There are many organizations in school whose purpose it is to foster the prin- ciples and teachings of Jesus about the eternal things of life. However, the re- ligious organization which demands and obtains the loyalty of every girl’s heart is our Y. W. C. A. Each Sunday evening all the girls assemble for worship. These vesper sendees are a source of inspiration and inculcation of noble ideals in the girls’ lives. The Y. W. C. A. also provides social affairs and occasional hikes, though this phase has not been greatly emphasized recently. Each alumnus carries with her pleasant memories of our Alma Mater—in her heart of hearts the tenderest regard for her own organization—the Young Women’s Christian Association. T. W. C. A.

CABINET OFFICERS Seventy-nine The Religious Activities of the College Atlantic Christian College is very active in religious activities, since its stu- dent body is made up largely of students who come from Christian homes, and the college is supported by the churches and led by Christian leaders. Every morning at ten o’clock the students and faculty assemble in the audi- torium for worship. The services are conducted by members of the faculty and visiting ministers. Brief addresses and lectures are given on religion, morals, good manners, the choosing of professions and vocations in life. Pupils are required to attend church and Bible school at the church of their choice every Lord’s day. They are very enthusiastic and take a very active part in many ways. One of the greatest religious activities of the college is the organization com- posed of ministers and religious workers, which is known as the Fellowship Club. This club meets every week and discusses practical problems in religion, which will aid them in rendering more efficient service in their chosen fields. Some of the most prominent ministers address this club and give the students splendid advice about beginning their great work. Another organization which parallels the Fellowship Club is the Young Wom- en’s Christian Assoc ation. This is composed of girls for the purpose of creating a better Christian spirit and developing Christian leaders. Every Wednesday evening the boys meet in the lobby and engage in a prayer meeting. This gives them an opportunity to speak in public and learn to pray. The religious interest and welfare of the students are fostered by a standing Committee on Religious Education. This committee enriches the Christian spirit of the college by projects and by securing religious lecturers. The students spiritual life is trained here at the college, in order that each may live an efficient life in a great age.

With only a small squad to select from, A. C. C. was unable to put in the field a team to compete with the bigger teams of the state. The boys played creditably, and were well led by Captain Banks. On the squad were Banks, Reel, Winfield, Barnhill, Tilghman, Conekin, Bouch- 'er, Privette, Murray, Brookbank, Ross, Boswell, Underwood, Gallop, Flanagan, Tomlinson, Mellwgan, Lawson, and Barnes. The team was managed successfully by Moses Moye, who scheduled several important games and showed his ability to care for his men. The outlook is bright for 1925, as practically all of the team will be back in college. Basket ball of the 1925 season has been very successful. The team, managed by Everett Harris, has played several important games, winning three of them. With efficient coaching, the boys are constantly improving. As all of the team will be back in ’25 and ’26, we may be assured of a successful season. The baseball outlook for A. C. C. is very promising. Under the tutelage of Coach Barclay, the team is developing into a strong one, and good results can be expected this year. On the team are Reel, Belangia, Barnhill (Captain), Winfield, Barnes, Clarke, Tilghman, Mercer, Boswell, Brookbank, Mcllwean, and Lawson. Ninety-two Athletic Association Officers Ruth J.

Another tournament will probably be staged this commencement, as was done last year. There will be several new competitors for the championship, both in the doubles and in the singles. John Ross won in the singles last year, and will be a formidable foe to all candidates this year. Much fun and recreation are being enjoyed by all the students. Gym Training for Girls The Physical Culture Class which meets twice each week, has proved to be the greatest factor in the athletic life of the college girls for the school year of ’24-’2o. The lack of athletic teams among the girls has left practically all the physical development to this class. It is composed of the boarding girls and several day students. Miss Varina Woodard has made a very capable instructor, her interest in the girls winning for her their respect and co-operation. She has made herself one of us, taking part in the games and stunts we have enjoyed. Most of the work of the class has been within doors, but now that we have warm and favorable weather, outdoor work may be carried on successfully. The class is looking forward to hikes and other amusements Ninety-seven Nifit ty-eight CLUBS Ninety-nine Phi Sigma Tau Colors: Black and (Told Flower: Black-eyed Susan Motto: “Cor Unum, Via Una” SORORES IN URBE 1912 Mrs. H.

Through- out the ages, like a will-o’-the-wisp, it has lured men to venture bold and daring feats, as well as to conquer apparently insurmountable difficulties. Tradition leaves a rich heritage both in ballad and song, relating the experiences of ancient knights who spent the very essence of their existence in search of the “Holy Grail, ’’ which men deemed to possess magical life-giving qualities. Again, new worlds have been discovered by men who were searching for a renewal of youth. On such an adventure, Ponce de Leon, the Spanish knight errant, chanced upon the shores of our own sunny state of Florida. The only visible rewards were declining strength and approaching old age. The futility of finding a panacea for physical death has then been adequately demonstrated in the experience of the race. Yet, there is a death which is more disastrous in its consequences than the cessation of earthly existence. The panacea for this latter death is here given in the college motto, “They shall have the light of life.” Light is necessary to all life. Just as plants perish without contacts with the heavenly sun, so human lives shrivel and atrophy with- out the streams of energy which may be obtained from communication with worlds beyond their own mental horizon. This institution, as well as others of its kind, seeks to give light and life to its students through the presentation of truth. Truth is eternal. Any institu- tion whose dominant aim is to establish truth is, therefore, striving to build for eternity, for knowledge is the cornerstone of life. While knowledge does insure light, one must avoid superficial knowledge, that his light may not be perverted. “To know the Father is life eternal. ’’ Mor- One Hundred. Sixteen tals learn to know God through His handiwork, but often these glimpses are fal- lible, and must be refined. Through some influence, knowledge and skills must be translated into ideals and attitudes which will result in character. The prism, par excellence, for breaking these light rays is religious education. Its purpose is to interpret all the phenomena of God’s universe in such a way as to make His revelation more complete and influential in the lives of men. This, in a word, is the contribution which our college desires to make to civi- lization. It is an effort to serve the rising generations by presenting the truth in its proper perspective and showing how it may be profitably utilized in the realization of God’s Kingdom on earth. The inevitable by-product of this pro- cedure is divine satisfaction in life itself.

Would you ever believe it? Well, probably it is because they never visit within our campus limits. We have fun from September to May. Who wouldn't laugh on the first day of school when the nervous Freshmen take their first les- sons in college behavior? It requires equipment to take this course. The Freshman “man” must have his stiff straws hat with a red and white polka dot band, a tie to match in yellow, a raincoat, an umbrella, and some lunch wrapped in a newspaper, which his mother has fixed for him, for fear he will miss his dinner, although his train is due in Wilson at 5:40 A. M. That’s not unwise, however, because it is a 1-o-n-g way from the X. and S. stopping station to the A. C. mess hall. It is a peculiar thing that all Freshmen come from the country and all Seniors are city men. The little “man is surprised when someone suddenly jerks his hat off and tears off his red and white hat band. “What right have you to wear Red and White?” are the words that ring in his ears until he learns what it is all about. Then he understands, too, that the same thing would have happened to the tie had it been blue and gold. The evoluting “man” whom we all know as Ick, was soon relieved of his green coat by the College Campus Cows.. His mother made him another one of gray, because Ick wrote her that “Gray is being worn exclusively. He told her that “his old suit was supremely ragged while hazing.” A return letter offered these suggestions: “Be perticular and don take thet lesson no more. From all I hear about hazing I don want my boy to haf nothing to do with it.” Ick made his first visit home (Hinkinville) at Christmas, and even his “Diffie” teased him about his college air. He seemed above her, somehow. The crust was rebroken, however, when he presented her with a mirror. “I haven’t ever seen anything pretty in one yet, but maybe you can. I see all the girls up at the college have 'em and they’re always looking in ’em. I thought you’d like one. Soon after Christmas holidays he took a heavy cold, and on investigation by Charles Kendall, it was discovered that he sacrificed his blankets to keep the radiator warm. Well,’tis no wonder, because Ick was always so kindhearted. He told Louise Harrison that he hated to impose his weight upon a mule, consequently he had walked five miles to school for four years. Ick’s second year in school showed that he meant business. He coveted Leman’s Edna, Harvey’s Ada, and many other popular jewels, but he knew no way of approach, so he rushed the “new girls.” Now, much to his hidden joy, Mary Etheridge, Eloise Bowers, Faye Adams, and even Mary Jones often risked smiles at him. By the end of his Sophomore year he had learned to smoke. Ho grew a mustache, put hair tonic on his hair, and powder on his face. He told his mother that Paul Southard and Oscar Merritt were the cause of his doing that. His second summer at home proved the cause of sullen discontent for Diffie. Ick was always raving about Lyma’s hair, Janie’s complexion, Miss Remsberg’s eyes, or something that she didn’t have. Junior days were different from all others. Ick discovered his popularity by finding him- self a member of the “Puppy Nursers’ Club (Pres. Harvey Underwood), the “Pipe Suckers’ Club” (Pres. Park Nunn), the “Ladies First Club” (Pres. Ray Mcllwean), and others of similar type. His greatest success in his Junior year was a speech made in chapel. His first words were, “I can prove evolution to you—just look here. Now Ick is a Senior. He has grown above Diffie, and cares little for her, but continues to avow his affections for her. His last letter told her that he wished she could be here; that “We have ice, steam, or nothing fifteen minutes a day. Only one two-candle power light is allowed. I am required to attend two classes a day and one chapel service, so I just can’t find time to write to you but once a day. “P. S. Please address your next letter with ink. It is hard to estimate the value of what Ick has done here. Not all of his tracks are in the College Square, but he lias made many “footprints in the sands of time” around A. C.
