Dr. Travis A. White the president of Atlantic Christian College Dr. White, our genial president, came to us from Lubbock, Texas. He has his vices . . . loves a good cup of coffee, a day in the coun- try with his huntin’ dog and gun, has never been known to pass up an opportunity to go fishing. He has a soft spot in his heart for a Western movie, hill-billy songs, and square-dancing. And he also has his virtues ... a nimble wit and pronounced flair for mixing humor and philosophy, a deep sense of love and appreciation for youth and a desire to share in their training, a way of just growing into our lives by mere acquaintance. There is just some- thing unique about his person- ality which makes us all admire and respect him.

Wilson, N. C. The Student Body: I stood by as you eagerly hustled on to the campus with bag and bundles that Sun- day afternoon in September as school opened; My heart swelled with pride as I stood on the Courthouse steps and witnessed our Homecoming parade; There was a deep satisfaction as I watched one of our ministerial students preside with dignity and ability over the worship services of one of our great churches; I watched a group of boys play their hearts out in a basketball game—it was good, clean ball they played; I was part of an audience that heard one of our future teachers preside over the pro- gram of the afternoon—she did it with modest charm and grace; I listened with you to the beauty of our Christmas musicale and felt again the holi- ness of that season; I have shared your periods of relaxation at Tweeties—and enjoyed them; I’ve observed you come and go to your classes in Old Kinsey—not much life left in the old building, but your zeal and enthusiasm is that of youth with a purpose; For this “adopted Tar Heel” its been a wonderful year.
