CHILDS ■ r i To our beloved president, John Crank Childs, who. in his eighteen years of service as teacher, treasurer, and president, has labored patiently and tirelessly for the upbuilding of character; who has been big enough to undertake courageously the most difficult tasks that were presented to him, yet humble enough to do the most menial ones that claimed his attention; who has faithfully and uncomplainingly carried the burden in times of adversity as well as prosperity do we dedicate this sixth volume of the CENTRAL!. X. THE 1940 CenTRflLlfln Seven CONFERENCE Central is an indispensable factor in the progress of the various annual conferences. Trained in her classrooms and blessed by her spiritual environment, men and women have gone out to fill the ranks of the conferences as loyal lay-members, efficient pastors, and progres- sive conference leaders. EDUCATION By contributing college presidents, educational leaders, and a host of Christian teachers who have been prepared in her halls. Central has blessed the Wesleyan Church and society through her service in the educational field. CONNECTION The entire Wesleyan Methodist Connection has felt the influence of Central College. Thus her sphere of service has become nation-wide. WORLD Beyond conference lines, geographical regions, and national boundaries, rays of service have radiated from Central to touch and bless the world. Truly may we say, “Central Serves.” E.

THE 1940 CenTRflLIRn T toe nty-seven DRAWING OF PROPOSED NEW DORMITORY Realizing that the present overcrowded girls’ dormitory is not conducive to good health, progressive learning, and deep spirituality, many friends are working and contribut- ing so that an adequate building may be erected. As the church was possible only through friends, so the new dormi- tory is possible only through the offerings of those who can help Central grow in this respect. Twenty-eight In the fall of 1939 a group of boys and girls registered as seniors at the Wesleyan Methodist College. Immediately plans were made to organize the senior class, On September fifteenth there was a meeting for the purpose of electing officers. Preston Spruiell was chosen as president, Brownie Shigley as vice- president, Faith Newton as secretary and treasurer, Prof. J. B. Childs as class sponsor, and David Mullinax as mascot. High lights during the year were the senior banquet, given by Miss Cleo Newton at Hotel Easley, and the junior-senior enter- tainment. Thirty SEN BROW NIK SH1GLKY BRENT, ALA. K. L.

Platform manners, expres sion of thought, study, and research are developed and improved. Doth natural and acquired ability are expanded by study and practice. £=£ d=£Xf a= Xi THE K EEW AN IS LITERARY' SOCIETY has throughout another year maintained her high standards of achievements. For winning the CENTRALIAN sales contest, the silver loving cup was awarded her for the second consecutive year. Also, she won first places in the declamatory contest. In the softball games she was victorious. Ever keeping her purpose before her, she prepares her members for service: first to God; secondly, to the school; thirdly, to their fellow men. cenTRflLtfln Forty-seven Declamatory Contestants Debate Team CONTEST WINNERS This year’s declamatory contest caused much concern. Each member of the Philomathia and the Keewanis Literary Societies hoped that his own organization would win, but all could not receive prizes. Both first prizes went to members of the Keewanis Society. Mrs. Louise Rich rendered “Tipping off Teacher, and S. 1). Herron’s selection was “My Country, My Mother, Mv God.” Second honors went to Edna Lawrence and Karl Johnston of the Philomathia Society. Gi-fla Q-S DEBATING Debating, with its varied means of development, has in a profound way, aided us to serve more efficiently. It inspires intellectual integrity and depth, spurs onward to nobler efforts of utterance and expression, and broadens our knowledge of persons, places, and things. Earnestly we strive, and have enthustically striven to prepare ourselves to serve others better. C3=a c=s=sa cz= TEAMS A ff ir mative Coach ,w Negative 5. D, Herron Prof. R. C.

More than $100 was raised for the furtherance erf evangelization in Africa. S. D. Herron is the faithful president. W. Y. P. S. The . V. P.

COLLEGE CONFERENCE If you desire to see Central College youth in action in the field of service, you should go with the College Conference groups to their various appointments. Go with them as they serve humanity in hos- pitals, jails, street services, from house to house, at local churches, and over a nearby broadcasting station. Your heart would be warmed as you see how God uses the College Conference to manifest Christ to those whom they serve. Wesleyan youth are winning victories for Christ through this organization.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION This yearbook records the faces, activities, and memories of another school year at Y. M. C. In the future mam will open this book to refresh their memories of the pleasant incidents it records. And. as time slips away, the value of this volume will be enhanced. No doubt the year has brought problems as well as pleasures to many of the students. But it takes both of these to develop the well-rounded personality. This has not been ju t a year of preparing to live; it has been a year of real life. The exj erieiices of this year and other years of the past form the foundation on which the life's structure must rest. The writer trusts that the foundation of each student has been made secure in Hod's will, and that each life will he spent in such a wav as to bring honor to our Saviour and blessings to our fellovvmen. May the graduating class which is about to join tlit ever enlarging group of alumni ever maintain those high ideals received at V. M.
