Mark Anthony, Georgia star, came to A. C. C. as coach in 1928. When the squad reported in September prospects seemed fairly bright, but right at the beginning of training a jinx grabbed the team and held it throughout the season. Many men were lost because of in- juries: many ofthe best on the squad. The injured men were: Denby, Fulghum, Hawkins. Bass, Howell, VVeddell, and Jones. The team went through the season winning one game and losing seven. Two of the defeats were due directly to fumbles. The boys played great games at times. especially against Catawba and Milligan. Four of the squad were seniors and will be lost next year. Munn and Cherry will be missed especially. The team was christened Bulldogs after the season ended, and we are looking forward to a great season for the Bulldogs next year. 212113031iuiuiuilriui-ui:ini-uioiul-vjoi 1 - 1-wx. ioioiozl 142 ri 311 vi Page Twenty-Six .ioxox -11,1 -1 :pox -1411, noun -11,14-1:1 -1 rx vxn-11 xo1111-f:u1oio1o1u1n:1

Sv' Al h I I We feel, in presenting the Sigma Alpha Fraternity to those who do not ! know them quite as well as they should, much like P. T. Barnum, whose ! rotund breast surely must have swelled with pride as he read the billboard l advertisements of his famous aggregation in which he modestly announced i his show as The Greatest Show on Earth, a Galaxy of Scintillating World- i Wonders Brought from the Four Corners of the Globe at Phenomenal Ex- i pense. - For these menwe are about to introduce are campus-renowned, and, i although all of them are native Americans, many of them have wandered : into the four corners of these United States and back again, bringing with ! them intellectual treasures, and tales of travel picked up here and there at Q random, which thy bestow with reckless abandon upon their Fraternity I Brothers. i The Greek-Letter Societies of Atlantic Christian College are undoubted- Q ly the greatest social and economic influence in the student body of the i college. The extent to which they provide for the material and social wel- i fare of the students is, perhaps, not sufficiently well understood, nor is i there generally an appreciation of the extent to which the students have - gone in providing for their own needs. It may be of general interest, Q therefore, to present some of the facts concerning one of these societies, with some accounts of its establishment and activities. i Sigma Alpha Fraternity of Atlantic Christian College was established in ! the year of 1925 by twelve regular matriculated students of the College. in i an effort to revive the national organiaztion of the same name which ex- i isted at a majority of the colleges in Virginia and various universities 3 throughout the country. g At the present time Sigma Alpha Fraternity maintains a well-equipped i Fraternity House at 602 W. Gold Street. A House Committee is respon- sible for the enforcement of rules and regulations governing the use of the E House. Good order is maintained without difficulty. Infractions of rules ! are infrequent, of a minor character, and are usually punished by the im- ! position of a fine. ! The practical advantages to a student of a house furnished, organized, and administered entirely in his interest are obvious. In no way can his material needs be more satisfactorily met as regards entertainment, hous- ! ing, and conditions under which to pursue his studies. They profit by ' contact with each other and by participation in a community enterprise in G which each has a voice and proportionate responsibility. The self-gove1'n- ' ment of the Fraternity House tends to develop in members self-restraint Q and regard for the rights of others. ! Saturday-night smokers, to which alumni members and candidates ! being rushed for the Fraternity are invited, are frequent in the autumn ! and early winter. Occassionally the Fraternity blossoms forth with a I banquet. Both are successful events of their kind. i I llfyifyilpjqyiqigyiqyiqyiuillui.,i0101u1uiu14,iqiniuit,il34,TIli0i0i0iuiui0iu9gQ Page Twenty-Five ROY LIS It C. L.

Back row, Jones, Mgr., Gillette, Wiggins, Bryant, Coach Anthony. Second row, Uzzle, Bailey, Banks, Bissette. Front row, Fulghum, Captain Brinkley. and Munn. The basketball season was a success. Fulghum ran wild at forward and was one of the highest, if not the highest, scorers in the state for the season. Bailey was a tower of strength at center. Munn and Bis- sette were able helpers for Fulghum at forward. Uzzle played a great defensive game and was ably assisted by Captain Brinkley and Banks, The team will be hard hit this year by the loss of Brinkley, Bailey, Ful- ghum, and Munn. All the above named men except Bailey have served their quota of years. Following is a brief summary of the team and the season: The team played sixteen games, winning nine and losing seven. The percentage placed them well up in the standing of the Little Six Conference. High Point College was the only team to defeat the Christians more than once, the Purple Panthers turning the trick twice. The players on the team were pretty accurate at hitting the hoops and scored in this manner: Fulghum 206 points, Munn 94 points, Bailey 79 points, Brinkley 66 points, Bissette 40 points, and Uz- zle 37 points. The team total for the season was 535 points. Page Twenty-Seven 02114114 11:21 31:11 3 ii 31:1 1 1 1 11:11:10 1
