DEDICATED TO SCHOOL DAYS The happiest and most fruitful days of our Jives have been the ones spent here at Atlantic Christian College.

This group, under the leader- ship of Professor Fontaine gives programs in churches all over the eastern part of the state. The Glee Club contributes to the spiritual and social life of the school as a whole and does much toward the musical education of its members.

Through the devotional services held, problems are brought to the group which they are likely to face while in school and afterwards. The programs are arranged to give a well rounded view of life and its problems to the girls. PAGE FIFTY-FIVE Marshals Two marshals are selected every year from each class on scholastic basis, with the exception of the Chief Marshal who is chosen by popular vote. Their duty is to assist at any student activity or entertainment which is given in connection with the College. The Marshals for this year are as follows: Sara Jane Rouse, Chief Marshal; Selma Arner, Senior Marshal; James Suber, Senior Marshal; Julian Roebuck, Junior Marshal; Agnes Best, Junior Marshal; M. W. Hudson, Sophomore Marshal; Katie Gold Brewer, Sophomore Marshal. Supervisors The Board of Supervisors has a representative for each phase of work done on or about the campus. The duty of each supervisor is to oversee work in his respective field. The smoothness and efficiency with which the system has worked is evidence of the hard and excellent work carried on by this year’s board. Bob Windham, supervisor of dining hall, is chairman of the board. Hazel McKcel is the other dining hall supervisor; Agnes Raybourne, supervisor of the Girls’ Buildings, and the office; Elbert James, supervisor of grounds: Neal Wyndham, supervisor of buildings. South Carolina Club The South Carolina Club appeared on the campus for the first time this year. It is made up entirely of students from our neighboring state of South Carolina. The club is under the capable leadership of Miss Agnes Raybourne, President. International Relations Club JIM ED MILES . . . President Under the able direction of Dr. Morgan, Social Science professor, this club holds weekly meetings to discuss current political and social problems. The club is composed of those students who are interested in this phase of Social Science. Dramatics Several programs pertaining to dramatics have been sponsored this year by the Dramatic Club. In addition, the club has dramatized several plays. The first play of the season given Homecoming week-end, “The Passing of the Third Floor Back,” christened the stage of the Howard Chapel. At Christmas the annual pageant was presented, and in the spring a group of one-act plays'were given; one, “Everyman,” went to Chapel Hill to be presented as a guest performance for the annual Drama Festival. The final produc- tion, a comedy, took its usual place in commencement week. Busettes WILBUR POWELL .......................................President VIRGINIA LANCASTER..............................Vice-President KIRBY WATSON.........................................Treasurer ETHEL SHEPHERD.......................................Secretary The Busettes are commercial students who are not planning on going four years to col- lege, and are planning on going immediately into the business world. This club tries to bring the business students closer to the other campus activities, and also present speak- ers who will enlighten the students on problems of the business world. This club was born out of the old commercial club which failed to function to a high degree of efficiency. A number of speakers were brought to the club this year and much interest was created in the students. PAGE FIFTY-NINE Basketball This year, for the first time in history, the Bulldogs presented a line-up that rarely changed during the course of the game. These regular starters were com- monly known as the “Big Five” among the students and they lived up to their name both in ability and thrills. They were a hard-working bunch of boys and were always in there giving their best. They played a most important part in the successes of the 1939-?40 Bulldogs and were the dreaded combination of the North State Conference. In order as above: Marion Lassiter, guard; A. C. (Breezy) Holloman, forward; Warren (Red) Broughton, center; Eugene (Ace) Ange, forward; and Burney McCotter, guard. COACH “BILL” HERRING PAGE SIXTY-TWO Basketball The basketball team that Coach Bill Herring unfurled before the eyes of Bulldog fans this past season was one of the best to ever take to the floorboards in Wilson Gymnasium. A team, made up of five battlescarred veterans, that could hold its own against any foe. The team piled up the best record of any Bulldog club in the past ten years when they racked up four conference victories while losing six and copping eleven of their twenty- two non-conference battles. Although three seniors were on the squad and the team will lose them next season prospects are bright for another great season with three letter men returning to form the nucleus of a brand new team. The Club Roster MUTT GARDNER, FRANK WILEY, MARION LASSITER, RED BROUGHTON, GENE ANGE, BREEZY HOLLOMAN, JOE FRANK DRAPER, PEE-WEE HOLMES, JOHNNY HICKS, EDDIE MARTIN, THURMAN HOLMES, JIMMY BANKS, BURNEY McCOTTER, and A. J. HAYES — LESTER EDWARDS, Manager. PAGE SIXTY-THREE Baseball At the close of last baseball season it was evident that we needed new and better material, so Coach Herring secured several good prospects from the present freshman class. These boys appear to have what it takes to make good ball players and we are counting on them to supplement the lettermen from last year and complete what we hope is a well-rounded ball club. There are two men graduating this year. They are Elbert Moye, a pitcher, and Maynard Gardner, an outfielder. PAGE SIXTY-FOUR Tennis The Tennis Team this year had to depend on new material since there were only three men with former intercollegiate experience. They were greatly handicapped, but they showed much fight, sportsmanship, and a strong will to win. Captain Bob Windham is the only man on the squad who will graduate this year. Boxing The Boxing Team, under the direction of Coach “Chick” Andrews, turned in several stellar performances this year. Led by Captain Jim Brown Holliday, the boys gave a good account of themselves in every encounter. We are hoping to secure more matches next year than we had this year, and since there are no seniors on the squad we are looking for veteran performances. PAGE SIXTY-FIVE A Club This monogram club is composed of the boys on the campus who have made a letter in one or more intercollegiate sports. Its purpose is to create a better feeling between the athletes and to promote sportsmanship in all athletic contests. Headed by President A. C. Holloman the club has done much worth while work on the campus this year. The “A” Club is one of the oldest organizations of the college and we are expecting many more years of successful work. A. C. Holloman, President; Maynard Gardner, Vice-President: Neal Wyndham, Secretary-! reasurcr. PAGE SIXTY-SIX Woman’s Athletic Association OFFICERS JESSIE DANIEL.....................................................President JACQUELINE DANIEL.......................................... Vice-President SELMA ARNER.......................................................Secretary RACHEL GLOVER.....................................................Treasurer The Woman’s Athletic Association is composed of girls on the campus who are interested in the promotion of intramural sports. The sports that they stress are: Volley ball, hockey, soccer, basketball, soft ball, shuffleboard, deck tennis, badminton, tennis, and ping-pong. This group deserves much credit, since they are responsible for all the plan- ning of women’s athletics. SPORTS LEADERS: Eleanor Smith, Freshmen Representative; Ola Mae Kelly, Sophomore Representative; Irma Lee Spencer, Junior and Senior Representative; Virginia Lancaster, Commercial Representative. Other Sports The Staff feels that Freshman Basketball should receive some recognition in this annual edition of the PINE KNOT. The Bull Pups have compiled an enviable record among Freshman Basketball clubs in the state. Pictured below with them are five cheerleaders who so capably led the Bulldog cheering section through the season. !§� I.

Queen of May was Virginia Barclay, and the King was Howard Roberson. Agnes Futrell and Olivia Fulghum were the Queen’s attendants; Oliver Johnson and Felix Dodd, the King’s attendants. Students from the Junior and Senior classes were courtiers, while students from all other classes participated in the dances and other activities.
