PINE KNOT WHO’S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES B. J. BOWDEN has actively participated in school athletics and has been notable for his work in student government and on the college newspaper. CYRUS Lee has been out- standing for his achievement in debating and orating and has demonstrated his executive effi- ciency as president of the co- operative association. Griffith Hamlin has been influential in promoting a more religious atmosphere on the cam- pus and has taken a major part in debating, glee club, and band. Eugene Ogrodowski has been foremost as an able spiritual leader of the students and has attained much in the fields of dramatics, editing, and supervis- ing. The yearbook, Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, compiles annually an ex- tensive list of outstanding students from colleges and universities all over the country as a means of honoring them with national acknowledgment and recognition. Chosen for scholastic attainment, genuine character, ability as influential campus leaders, and poten- tialities; that is, for future usefulness to business and society, these students well deserve all honors conferred upon them. This year Atlantic Christian College is ably represented in this pub- lication by four of its most popular and respected students, selected because through their many accomplishments they have expressed the highest ideals of conduct, courage, and loyalty; and because in the eyes of their fellow stu- dents they more nearly measure up to the standards required of those whose names appear in such a worthy and purposeful compilation. Page Thirty-two NINETEEN THIRTY-NINE Organizations THE PINE KNOT Olivia Fulghum Editor-in-Chief Robert E. Jarman Business Manager JN this volume the staff of the 1939 PINE KNOT has endeavored to reproduce in word and picture most of the active campus life during the year. Under the guidance of our Editor and Business Manager, we have pulled through many trying moments in a desperate effort to present to the students of Atlantic Christian College this yearbook. Headed by Olivia Fulghum, the editorial staff has had its specific duties. With John Yavorski as Pho- tographic Editor, Agnes Futrell as Associate Editor, Woodrow Sugg as Art Editor, Irma Lee Spencer as Feature Editor, Virginia Barkley as Senior Class Editor, Eugene Ogrodowski as Snapshot Editor, and Gene Ange as Sports Editor, we feel that a great deal of creative work has been accomplished. With Robert Jarman heading the busi- ness staff, and with his co-workers, Ray Silverthorne, Leland Farnell, Julia Yates, and James Rogers, the financial affairs have been carefully budgeted. Without the cooperation of the students, this book would have been impossible, and so we, the staff of this 1939 PlNE KNOT, take this opportunity of expressing our gratitude to you for your fine spirit of cooperation and for your confidence in us. Page Thirty-four NINETEEN THIRTY-NINE THE COLLEGIATE 'THROUGHOUT the year the aim of the Collegiate has been to record memorable school activities, to present fairly and impartially its views and attitudes on important controversial subjects, to create and guide student opinion, and to bestow credit on those deserving it. How near this publication has come in achieving its goal must be left to the students to decide. If, in trying to measure up to its ideals, it may have fallen short, it was not from lack of perseverance and endurance through moments of great stress and trial. Without the cooperation and considera- tion which the student body has generously extended, even this would not have been attained, and much recognition should be given them in appreciation of their thought- fulness. The editor and business manager should be con- gratulated for the successful result of their unceasing efforts to make the Collegiate a worthwhile part of the school life, and their efficient staff, composed of students out- standing for competency and capability, deserves abundant praise for its loyal, never-ending labors. Staff members are Mary Frances Bishop, Mary Nackos, Elbert James, Billy Barbour, Mary Matthews, Eugene Ogrodowski, Irma Lee Spencer, Burney McCotter, Sarah Jane Rouse, Sue Harper, John Yavorski, Selma Arner, Sarah Mae Greene, Ruby Barnes, Griffith Hamlin, Bernice Farmer, Ray Silverthorne, Mozelle Morgan, B.

Although the Dramatic Club was greatly hampered by the lack of an auditorium, the four regular major productions were given. The Schoolmistress of Arthur Wing Pinero, a farce, was the fall production. For Christmas, an old medieval church play was adapted by the director, Miss Eleanor Snyder. A group of one-act plays was produced by the play production class for the spring production, and the final production was a comedy given as part of the commencement program. Page Fifty-two NINETEEN THIRTY-NINE CAthletics BASKETBALL The Bulldog basketball team of 1 938-39 was the best that has represented the college in the past four years. Under the new athletic director, William Herring, the team rounded into shape early and turned in some fine games -throughout the season. One big factor in the im- provement of the team was the fact that the first squad was formed of four veterans of the previous season’s squad and a host of experienced replacements. The team how- ever was not fortunate in its contests and as in previous years went down to defeat all too often. However there were bright spots in the otherwise drab season, the most noteworthy being the 32-28 defeat handed to the Teach- ers of East Carolina Teachers College. Other bright spots were the home games with E. C. T. C., Catawba and Lenoir Rhyne. Only one man of this squad will graduate. He is James (Red) Rogers, a guard on the Bulldog team for four years. The rest of the squad should be intact next year and promises of a great season loom for Coach Herring’s 39-40 team. Page Fifty-four NINETEEN THIRTY-NINE BASEBALL The baseball team this year is expected to be the best ever at the college. After two years of defeats piled one upon the other this year seems to be the year for the Bulldogs. With five veterans as a nucleus Coach Herring has built up a strong defensive team. The pitching staff headed by Elbert Moye shows promise of turning in some excellent performances before the end of the year. Of the five veterans of this year's squad only one will be lost by graduation, Irving Lynch. Irving has been a pitcher and first baseman during his college career and during this his senior year he has spent most of his time in the outfield. With the rest of the squad available for the next season the outlook is very bright. The efforts of Coach Herring have been primarily directed towards building this season and he has discovered some real talent. Page Fifty-five PINE KNOT BOXING Boxing, the only minor intercollegiate sport that the college competes in, has also been a stronghold ever since its first appearance on the winter schedule. The record which the boxing team has compiled in its four years of existence is as impressive as that of any other school in the state. This year under the tutelage of a former graduate the boxers won three straight matches, while losing none to continue their undefeated streak of the previous year. With a seven-man squad that is equally as strong as any team of its size in the state the Bulldogs have won seven straight matches in the past two years. The squad for next year will be intact as far as is known, as there are no seniors on this season’s squad. Page hifly six NINETEEN THIRTY-NINE TENNIS Tennis has always been the sports strong- hold on the campus of Atlantic Christian Col- lege. For the past few years the tennis team has been the only consistent winner of the major sports. This year, however, with an inexperienced team, the sport has had a hard time holding its own. With only two men from last season’s squad left as a nucleus the team had to be completely rebuilt. The new men have shown a lot of promise and it seems pos- sible that next year the team will be back on its former level. Archie Daniels, senior and Captain will be the only loss from this year’s squad. He has played at number Four and Five for the last three years and has been a steady member of the team. The team is handicapped by the fact that there is no regular tennis coach and Coach Herring has little time to be with them during Baseball season. Page Fifty-seven PINE KNOT “A” CLUB OFFICERS CARL Jones, President IRVING Lynch, Vice-President A. C. HOLLOMAN. Secretary-Treasurer The “A” Club is one of the oldest organizations of the college.

Page Fifty-eight NINETEEN THIRTY-NINE WOMAN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Woman’s Athletic Association is a popular organization on the campus and has as its aim the promotion of activities which stimulate wholesome competition in athletics among the women. Students automatically become members after they have earned three hundred points by participating in athletic activities. The cabinet members are Selma Arner, President; Evelyn Willis, Vice-President; Agnes Futrell, Secretary; Jessie Daniel, Treasurer; Dorothy Rouse, Junior-Senior Representative; Mary Frances Bishop, Sophomore Representative; Rachel Glover, Freshman Representative; Dorothy Tart, Commercial Representative; and Mrs. Hodges, Physical Edu- cation instructor. The cabinet meets once a week to plan the activi- ties. It promotes class games in volleyball, hockey, soccer, basket- ball, and softball. It organizes individual tournaments in shuffle- board, deck tennis, badminton, tennis, etc. This organization feels the need of physical training for the women.
