We must hurry if we expect to get dressed on time. Ding-a-ling! It's the call of the old breakfast bell, luring us to a good meal. Boy! Isn't it surprising how hungry you are at breakfast in college?—espe- cially with music to match. . OUR PRESIDENT reetinas FROM OUR PRESIDENT THE PINE KNOT FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE AND WORK IN ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE IS A COLLECTION OF MEMORIES OF THE EXPERIENCES OF COLLEGE LIFE. IT IS MORE THAN THAT, HOWEVER. IT AFFORDS A PERMA- NENT RECORD OF A YEAR'S FELLOWSHIP AND A METHOD OF PRESERVING THAT RECORD, LEST IN AFTER YEARS THOSE REC- OLLECTIONS GROW DIM OR ESCAPE US ENTIRELY. THE HIGHEST VALUE OF THE PINE KNOT LIES EVEN BEYOND THIS MERIT. IT IS ONE OF THE CONTINUITIES THAT CEMENT TOGETHER FROM YEAR TO YEAR, THOSE WHO LOVE ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE AND WHO REVERE HER TRADITIONS. MAY THIS PINE KNOT OF 1941 BE A MEANS OF UNITING US ALL IN LOYALTY TO OUR ALMA MATER AND IN DEVOTION TO THE SERVICE OF OUR FELLOWS IN A DAY OF CONFUSION!

Just a good breath and a general group chat between classes is consid- ered a necessity—especially at a coed college. One goes into the library to study and read. However, not all study is of books. Pay attention, my cherubs! It will mean less outside brain work.

The ad- ministration had just launched the Fresh- man Week plan, and for four days we, the first victims, did nothing except be- come acquainted with each other and wi th the college and take tests. We elected Irma Lee Spencer as president of the class; Julia D. Paschali, vice-president; Susan Al ice Waller, secretary; and Dana Mattox, treasurer. Class officers our sophomore year were: president, John K. Wooten; vice- president, Susan Alice Waller; secretary, Bet Ward; and treasurer, Herbert Willis. This year was the least exciting, perhaps, but we did give the seniors a delightful hayride on one cold April night. Our junior year a Kinstonian rule was set up, all four class officers hailing from Kinston. They were: Irma Lee Spencer, president; John K. Wooten, vice-presi- dent; Bet Ward, secretary; and George Loftin, treasurer. The entire year was spent raising money, which was put into one night—the Junior-Senior Banquet, a night we will not forget soon. To lead the class in its last year we chose Elmer Mottern, president; Burney McCotter, vice-president; Katie Gold Brewer, secretary; and Georqe Loftin, treasurer. It is a sad yet joyful time as we don cap and gown to walk across the stage in Howard Chapel and away from Alma Mater. [13] SENIORS HELEN RUTH BARNES Wilson, N. C. AGNES ELIZABETH BEST Warsaw, N. C.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY One day in September, 1938, a group of confused but determined freshmen (about 65 in number) appeared on the campus of Atlantic Christian College. As they organized to meet this new situa- tion together, they chose as their leaders to take them through the year: Church- well Stallings, president; Vincent Batts, vice-president; and Billy Lee, secretary- treasurer. The year 1939 found these students back on the campus, this time as sopho- mores. In this year the class was under the leadership of Homer Narron as presi- dent; Mary Nackos, vice-president; Ola Mae Kelly, secretary; and Kendrick Tay- lor, treasurer. True to tradition, the sophomores entertained their sister class, the seniors, at a wiener roast at Sold Park. After placing the Daisy Chain at the feet of the seniors, they departed until September, 1940. Freshman Week found many of these, by now juniors, back entertaining the freshmen and helping accustom them to our campus. For officers of the class, James Webster was elected president in the place of Homer Narron; Norma Clay Daniels, vice-president; Jewitt Davis, sec- retary in the place of Gerald Shingleton; and Rachel Glover, treasurer. As a final expression of appreciation and hopes for a successful future, they presented to the seniors the elaborate Junior-Senior Ban- quet. Looking forward to a senior year of th eir own full of responsibility and hap- piness, they leave A. C. for the third time, with ambition in their h earts for their final year, 1941-42.

C. about to make it their new home. We soon learned the knack of all those little tricks and lost some of that obvious greenness. Russell Arnold was elected president and to as- sist him Lillian Lamm, vice-president; Kathryn Jones, secretary; and Hugh Cul- lom, treasurer. Spring came and with it our junior entertainment, bids to sorori- ties and fraternities, annuals to sign and all too soon commencement week. A memorable year was that first one as collegians. Another fall—this time with Naomi Peanut Morris as chief leader; Kirby Watson, vice-president; Edith Cart- wright, secretary; and Howard Blake, treasurer. With a smaller class but great- er spirit we continued our progress. An- other year to pack away and never for- get, and another year to look forward to when we will move up one row in Chapel and be called Juniors.

They are news; the rest are history. This year's freshman class has proved to be real news. During freshman week it was dis- covered that they had talent, which they have been exhibiting ever since. Many of the musical ones are in the glee club. As for dramatic ability—a large percent- age of the roles this year were carried by freshmen. For the first time in the memory of our [31] students a freshman ran for a major office in the elections. In all organizations they have found a place for themselves. En- thusiastically they have backed campus programs and activities. Their leaders were: James Paschali, president; Earle Williams, vice-president; Mary Louise Rose, secretary; and Claud Howard, treasurer. The future for our freshmen carries with it a load of responsibility in keeping up the pace they have set for themselves. FRESHMEN BILLIE ADAMS............. VIRGINIA ADKINS..........

PINE KNOT EDITORIAL STAFF The record of the activities of the students on our campus have been brought together to form a book. This, our yearbook, which we call the Pine Knot, contains records and memories of the various activities that we participated in during the school year 1940-41. With Ray G. Silverthorne, editor-in-chief, and Elizabeth Stoney, asso- ciate editor, we have the book complete and ready for your enjoyment. Those who have combined their efforts with those of the editors are: Irene Langston, Betty Miller, Earle Williams, Eunice James, Evangeline Brinson, Irma Lee Spencer, Lois Woodard, Elmer Mottern, and Frank Wiley, who worked on the literary staff; Mary Tomlinson, who did art work; and Neal Wyndham, who was in charge of snapshots. [ 38 1 PINE KNOT BUSINESS STAFF Frank Wiley, business manager, shown below with two staff members, George Woodall and F. H. Jarman, through the cooperation of the merchants of Wilson, has made it possible for us to put out this 1941 Pine Knot. Along with the above-mentioned people, though not in the picture, who deserve recognition for their services, are: Betty Miller, Earle Williams, and James V. Creasy, Jr., assistant business manager. [39] THE COLLEGIATE EDITORIAL STAFF The Collegiate for a number of years has been a leading publication on our campus, and it strives to develop journalistic qualities in its writers. The picture above was taken in the first staff room, in the basement of the dining hall. Those in the picture: James Creasy, editor; Kirby Wat- son, sports editor; Virginia Lancaster, Naomi Morris, and other staff workers who are not in the picture are: William Gray, Thurman Harper, Lina Edwards, Ruth Beard, Eleanor Smith, Irene Langston, Carrie Davis May, and Dr. Mildred Hartsock, faculty adviser. [40] COLLEGIATE BUSINESS STAFF Selling advertisements, collecting for them, and distributing the papers are some of the duties of the business manager of the Collegiate. But —publicity comes as a part of his work, too. The business manager is responsible for the publicity of the paper which is, in turn, publicity for the school. His job is to increase the number of subscriptions to the paper from outside people. - These duties have been done remarkably well this year by Business Manager Charles Eagles. His staff includes: F. H. Jarman, Earl Hardison, and Dick Whitfield. [41] SIGMA ALPHA The Sigma Alpha Fraternity was founded in 1925. The motto chosen is Semper est amicitia.

Its purpose is to uphold the ideals of Atlantic Christian College and to recognize and encourage character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The requirements for membership are: completion of three college se- mesters with an average of 85 per cent for men and 87.5 per cent for women, the exemplification of outstanding moral character, the desire and ability for constructive leadership, and the willingness to serve in upholding the ideals of the organization.

I' After a period of adjournment, the Education Club was reorganized in May, 1939, under the leadership of Professor F. F. Grimm, sponsor. The purpose of this organization is to develop and make effective the personality of its members; and to promote: a closer relationship among these students in the Education Department; teaching as a profession; accept higher ethical standards and to discuss problems which shall be of interest to all Americans, especially those who plan to teach. The opportunity for training in leadership is obtained in parliamentary procedure and in public speaking. Officers are elected at the end of each ten weeks, giving more students experience.

DRAMATIC CLUB Besides having a monthly meeting, often both informative and enter- taining, the Dramatic Club is responsible for the following productions: a fall production, a Christmas pageant in cooperation with the Verse Speaking Choir and Glee Club, a spring play, and a commencement play. Off icers for this year are: president, Johnny Green; vice-president, Lib Stoney; secretary-treasurer, Ruth Beard; and program chairman, Susan Al ice Waller. Th is scene is a room in the Bishop's house taken from The Bishop Mis- behaves, the 1940 commencement play. All set? Well, here we are—ready for two and a half hours of study for tomorrow's classes. Don't shirk the task, though, for you will please teacher tomorrow with a lively discussion. Nope—we can't neglect our social duties! So before retiring, gather around the piano for a few songs and a little dancing. Good night, and pleasant dreams of that girl across the campus! COACH HERRING Coach W. A. Herring has been on the campus for three years; and, in conse- quence, we have seen athletics grow. As a result of his untiring efforts, each year has seen us higher in the estimation of athletic circles. From the bottom of the little eight he brought us to a vic- tory over N. C. State in basketball. The baseball team is tops—much to his credit. So to Coach Bill Herring we take off our hats. CHEERLEADERS Th is group saw that the school cheered the Bull Dogs in victory or defeat. Jack Martin is head cheerleader. Others are: Ann Wainwright, Louise Williams, Dick Whitfield, Virginia Lancaster, and Frances Oakes. [64 j r 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 the athletic contests. The club has done much worth-while work on the campus this year. The A college and work. Glenn Holmes, president; Marion Lassiter, vice-president; Frank Wiley, secretary-treasurer. Club is one of the oldest organizations of the we are expecting many more years of successful [65 ] I I I i , k VARSITY Above is pictured the hardest fighting group of ball-hawking basketball players Coach Bill Herring has ever presented to the sports fans of A. C. College. The Bull Dogs surprised the entire sports section of Eastern North Carolina as they downed the fighting Red Terrors of N. C. State 26-25. Adding more honors to their record, they climbed into sixth position in the North State Conference. For the future—they have the Jay Vees who are a promising crew with a record all their own. [66] BASEBALL With eight lettermen back in harness, and the most promising freshman material in years, Coach Bill Herring is looking for a banner year in the North State Conference. Although we can't print the facts late enough to get in this book, we feel safe in saying that A. C. baseball fans really have something to feel proud of. TENNIS This year's team was built around the two returning lettermen, B. C. Scott and Joe Holliday. Although they were handicapped by a lack of experience, the boys showed a strong determination to win. With no seniors on the team, it is hoped that 1941-42 will top all others in tennis honors. This year's team was captained by Joe Holliday. [68] W. A. A The Woman's Athletic Association is composed of girls on the campus who are interested in the promotion of wholesome recreation and competition in athletics. Plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and exercise everyone must have; and this organization feels the need for physical and health training habits most keenly. The sports stressed are: volley ball, hockey, soccer, basketball, softball, shuffleboard, desk tennis, bad- minton, croquet, archery, tennis, and ping-pong.

MAY DAY To the cheering of a crowd of interested friends and relatives, Janie Fitzgerald and Winton Odham were crowned Queen and King of May in a ceremony held on the front campus. They were surrounded by a court of beautiful women and handsome men chosen from the Junior and Senior classes. Freshman and Sophomore girls performed dances for the occasion. Special features were a couple dance, and the winding of a red, white, and blue Maypole. Attendants were: Minnie Dees, Frank Wiley, Cartheine Hoell, and John K. Wooten.

SENIOR STATISTICS Editor's Note: Below is listed the members of the Senior Class, together with the organizations with which each is affiliated. The section has been omitted from the regular Senior Section because the editors feel that while some students contribute a good part of their time to extra-curricular activities, others are more devoted to the academic college life. Therefore, in keeping with the democratic spirit characteristic of Atlantic Christian, we feel this section is more suitable for presenting such information.
