Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1956 volume:

I the PINE KNOT is published annually by the students of Atlantic Christian College, Wilson, North Carolina. In it we attempt to show the life and activities of our col- lege.

To the sacred halls of Kinsey That we’ve come to love so dear, We sing this song of sadness As our parting is near. We will not forget your mem’ries Of the years we spent with thee; Though your walls remain no longer You will live eternally. And now your halls are hushed; No footsteps can you hear Echo down the halls and disappear. And as we sadly leave Our hearts will ever grieve To know that you no longer will be here. To the sacred halls of Kinsey Where we lived and learned so well, With hearts of love and sorrow Every voice bids farewell. Kinsey Hall— A place where students of five decades have learned the meaning of education; the endless strug- gle to find the meanings of life through the wisdom of the ages—through books------------- A place where religious life is intertwined with the other aspects of education; where all denomi- nations may experience a Christian learning process; where Christianity has become a part of the student’s daily life--------- A place for social development; where opportunities for friendships flourish; where common ex- periences form a binding tie that lasts--------- A place which, standing in the heart of a bustling and growing campus, symbolizes the efforts and roles of men in the past, who seeing possibilities of a unique Christian college, combined into one structure the necessities of a beginning---------- A place which stands now crumbled and worn, yet showing a dignity of accomplishment and achievement; which, long after it has gone, will still remain in spirit to provide the torch for progress----------- To thee, Kinsey Hall, we dedicate this, the Pine Knot of 1956.

C. This has been a happy and wonderful year on the campus because it has been a year of great responsibility in which administration, faculty and students have worked together in the achievement of our greatest year. Sharing with us has been a diligent Board of Trus- tees and an enthusiastic Alumni Association. I need not enumerate the achievements, but I would rather pay tribute to the loyalty, devotion to duty, spirit of co-operation, and unfailing commitment to the ideals of this institution, which have made such achievements possible. You may enjoy a just sense of pride in being a part of this victory. As we look forward to the good things of the future, we remember with humility these achievements of the past.

Advisor ASSOCIATION It is the aim of the Student Christian Association of Atlantic Christian College to create in the individual an awareness of God in all aspects of college life. The programs of this organization, which are developed by the S.C.A. Cabinet, are built around the students’ interests. A monthly schedule includes worship, recreation, discussion, and business. The S.C.A. conducts its pro- grams each Tuesday night. Some of the outstanding programs this year have been: the visit of Kenneth Henry for a vesper service; discussion topics pertain- ing to courtship and marriage; and fellowship hours of singing, square dancing, and folk games. Among the special events sponsored by the S.C.A. this year were Religious Emphasis Week, a Christmas pageant, World Day of Prayer Service, a city-wide Palm Sunday Musical Service, and Pre-Easter Week services. The S.C.A. in all its endeavors strives to promote Christian love and fellowship among the members of our college family with the hope that this love will not die at the end of our college life but will be a binding tie. miu uti til V OVlitO 1 Program Includes Comedy, Traj A delighted audience viewed the three one presented by the Stage and Script in Howad March 1-2.

The first night the amendment was introduced, the board ap- proved it by a 12-2 vote. However, before the amendment could be placed before the student body, Dr. White asked that the board grant the authority to the administration to put the new committee on an j Hello, experimental basis. Despite a 7-4 vote in favor of this, the matter was formally dropped until the . ,. meeting of the Board of Trustees Associa in June. Negative voters felt the | ancLv' students should be consulted and that proposed changes should fol- low more proper channels.

The road has been long and hard, and much of our time has been consumed in scheduling and taking pictures, doing layouts and paste-ups and typing. Now you have the finished product in your hand. If this product could speak, it would tell of the time and labor given in order that it might be typical of our campus life. MUSIC Christian Chorale was formed as a touring group for performances in eastern North Carolina during the spring. They presented programs in various churches and made three television appearances. Their repertoire consisted of madrigals, several jazz numbers, and two large works by Bach and Buxtehude, as well as several short sacred numbers. Members of the chorale were Eleanor Hatsell, Sue Brock, Carolyn Miles, Lynn White, Frances Herring, Julia Banks, Marjorie Blinson, Lelia Mae Goff, Marie Warren, Shirley House, Joe Hardegree, Blackie Jones, Leslie Wilkins, Bill Boswell, B. G. Campbell, Little- john Faulkner, Claude Fulghum, Dick Tyson, and James Kirby. During the first semester the mixed chorus, i with an enrollment of seventy-five students, did a Christmas cantata by Bach, For Unto Us A Child Is Born, as its major work. The principal ; work of the second semester was a Buxtehude ! cantata, Rejoice, Beloved Christians, which was ipresented in a chapel program April 6. Among i the other works performed were Vaughn Wil- liams’ Five Mystical Songs. Besides the chapel programs, the chorus also gave a concert at Homecoming. The Women’s Ensemble, pictured above, pre- sented the Luebeck Christmas Cantata for voices, clarinet, and piano at the annual Christmas program held in Howard Chapel. Miss Eleanor Hatsell, voice student, presented her graduation recital March 20. Her program consisted of a concert aria by Handel, four British songs, and a Telemann cantata, Tempt Me Not, with recorder obligato performed by Miss Lydia James. Miss Betty Jean Outlaw assisted with a group of Chopin Etudes. Miss Hatsell was a student of Professor C. Lynn Brown, director of music. The band of Atlantic Christian College during the first semester was under the baton of Dr. Millard Burt, who faithfully served it for two years. Under his direction, the band participated in the Harvest Festival Parade in Wendell, the Homecoming Parade, and the Wilson Christmas Parade. The band also presented a concert in Howard Chapel as one of the homecoming activities.' For the homecoming parade new majorette uniforms of blue and white satin were made. During the second semester Mr. Arthur Clifford of Wilson has served as director for the band. The main event for this semester was the par- ticipation in the annual Azalea Festi- val held in Wilmington. Other activities have included various con- certs and parades. 7irst row: Mary Ellen Corbett, president; Betty Jean Trott, • ecretary; JoAnne Crumpler, treasurer.

The annual homecoming of Atlantic Christian College was held on Saturday, November 19. The celebration was highlighted by a luncheon, musical program, basketball game, and dance. Because of the prevailing rains, the parade was held on Monday, November 21. On homecoming day open house was observed from 3:30 to 5:30, so that the guests and alumni might visit various buildings on our campus. At eight o’clock the Atlantic Christian Bull- dogs challenged the Norfolk Division of William and Mary in their first game of the season. During the half time the queen, Miss Janet Powell, who v as sponsored by the Freshman Class, and her court were presented. Members of the court were Miss Cecilia Wong, spon- sored by the Student Christian Association; Miss June Young, sponsored by Phi Kappa Alpha Fraternity; Miss Jean Craft, sponsored by Caldwell Hall; and Miss Virginia Capps, sponsored by Junior Class. The final event of the day was the homecoming dance held in the Bert Hardy Dining Hall immediately following the basketball game. 122 The junior class float passing before the courthouse.

The highlight of the dance was the crown- ing of the 1956 Pine Knot queen, Miss Annette Bare- foot, by Mr. Richard Ziglar, editor of the Pine Knot. The figure, composed of ladies who revolved around the queen extending a greeting of “Merry Christmas,” fol- lowed the crowning. After the completion of the figure, a dance was given in honor of the queen and the mem- bers of the figure. Last October Sigma Tau Chi soror- ity sponsored the annual Harvest Dance. To carry .out the idea of the harvest season, the Bert Hardy Din- ing Hall was gaily decorated with autumn leaves, corn stalks, and a golden harvest moon. Tradition was broken on the cam- pus of Atlantic Christian College as the women invited the men to a Leap Year Dance, which was held in the Bert Hardy Dining Hall on February 10. Entertainment was provided by Mr. Leslie Wilkins, Mr. Sammy White, and Mr. Darrell Huff- man who served as master of cere- monies. I' The traditional homecom- ing dance was held on No- vember 19 in the college dining hall. It was well attended by students, alumni, and faculty who participated in the gaiety of the home- coming festivities. AROUND CAMPUS 4.

They, along with the pep band, followed the Bulldogs and pushed them on to victory as the gym echoed with the sounds of “fight, Bulldogs, fight.” The cheerleaders were under the supervision of the Reverend Alan Sharp. His assistance was of great value to the cheerleaders as he arranged transporta- tion and aided them in numerous other ways. The school spirit displayed by the Atlantic Christian student body has been tremendous during the past two years and a great deal of the credit must go to the cheerleaders.

WOMEN’S INTRAMURAL The Women’s Intramural Program of Atlantic Christian Col- lege is organized primarily for the women on campus who are interested in sports. The program is directed by the Intra- mural Council. During the first semester the activities included contests in volleyball, ping-pong, and soccer. The second semester included basketball, softball, tennis, and a Field and Sports Day. The competing groups range from sorority and dormitory women to day students. The Field and Sports Day was held in the spring. The events included relays, skill contests, and a softball game. Points were awarded to each participant, and prizes were given to the win- ners. The climax of the day was a wiener roast. The activities of the intramural program required a great deal of planning. It is only through the Intramural Council that the women can have such a beneficial and entertaining program. 1.

The little “Dogs” battled through a 20 game schedule and finished with a 12-8 record. Among the opposition faced by Percise’s charges were the strong freshman teams from Carolina and Duke and a number of top flight junior college quints. Kinston High School afforded the Bullpups their co-captains for the campaign. Darwin Williams and Robert Whaley, who once captained the Red Devils, were elected by their teammates. Whaley led the scoring for the freshmen squad, and Williams, who was voted the most valuable player in the East-West All-Star Game, proved himself with a fine floor game and scoring ability. Both boys did double duty as they also played varsity ball. Another freshman standout, Harold Woodruff, saw varsity action. Excluding high school and semi-pro competi- tion, the Bullpups averaged better than 80 points per game. Their best night’s work came against the JV team from Pfeiffer College when they downed the visitors 107-98. Ronald Percise Freshman Coach Robert Whaley High Scorer First row: Moore, D.

Jack McComas’ crew went to work this year in a bad spot. They were champions and they were the team to beat. In their opening con- ference game, the ’Dogs found that the going was to be rough when the High Point Panthers grabbed a 103-94 decision from them. The Bulldogs were to taste defeat three more times during the regular conference season. They lost to Elon, East Carolina, and Lenoir Rhyne to bring their record to a 12-4 mark and rode into Lexington seeded number two in the an- nual tournament. In battling their way through the rough cam- paign, McComas’ fifth at A.C., the Bulldogs extended their home winning streak to 32 games. Lenoir Rhyne was the last club to turn the trick on the ’Dogs stomping grounds, and that was December 11, 1953. Four seniors finished their college careers at Lexington. Bill Beacham, Jerry Williams, Bill Tomlinson, and Kim Buchanan rounded out their four years of eligibility. The conference tournament at Lexington matched the four seeded teams against the four second-division clubs. A.C. was pitted against Western Carolina in the opening round. After one of the wierdest and most thrilling games in tournament history the ’Dogs disposed of the Catamounts, 82-80. Three overtime periods were required, and in each of the five minute periods, Widgeon held the ball for four and one-half minutes. Then A.C. worked for one shot and each time they missed. Finally, as the third period ended, Beacham was fouled. He hit both his tosses and A.C. had earned the right to meet Lenoir Rhyne in the semi-finals. The long, gruelling contest had taken its toll, and the Bulldogs surrended a 113-96 shooting match to the Bears. A high scoring outfit, A.C. posted a ninety-two per cent average for the year. Their best effort came against Pikeville, Kentucky, in a 120-70 rout of the boys from the blue grass state. A.C. placed two men on the all-conference team. Kim Buchanan was a top choice, and John Marley made the honor squad for the second year in a row. Marley’s forty-seven point total against Western Carolina was the top individual scoring effort for a single game in the state this year. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Coach McComas got good pitching from his moundsmen, but his hitters could- not deliver at crucial points. A.C. ended its season by splitting a double-header with East Carolina, the conference champions. The 1955 club included the following: First row: Norman Catlett, Raeford Fulghum, Dick Rogers, Jimmy Williams, James Davis, John Kernodle, Perry Moore, Ronald Percise. Second row: Jerry Wil- liams, Ronald Baker, Jack Harris, Kenneth Thomas, Scott McPhail, Billy Williams, Thurmond Phillips, Durwood Vick, Kenneth Fulghum.
