■ THE STORY OF THE YEAR 1942-45 AT WESLEYAN METHODIST COLLEGE IN CENTRAL, SOUTH CAROLINA FOREWORD No matter what happens this year or the next, there is one power which the enemies of freedom cannot with- stand—music. It is music which builds morale, which urges people on to accomplish deeds of worth, which soothes the harassed and troubled mind, and which in spires men to fight to win! It is in schools like Central College that the youth of America is given the opportunity to love and appreciate and to make that kind of music which will sway men toward a deeper knowledge of God and toward a more rich and meaningful life. So—FORWARD MARCI I WITH MUSIC! THE MELODY ADMINISTRATION ★ THE HARMONY CLASSES ★ THE RHYTHM ACTIVITIES DEDICATION In appreciation of Mrs. Margaret Gaines Childs and Professor I A. Harvev we dedicate to them this 1943 (. cntralian, because they have done much to foster the love and appreciation of music in our hearts and lives, because the have urged the devel- opment of a receptive attitude in us for the best music, and because it is through their efforts that our music department has grown and progressed. It is onl natural, then, that we should dedicate this book to our two music instructors, who are truly music lovers. Mrs. Margaret Gaines Guilds Fiiof. L. A.

MITCHELL ★ A pure, consistent Christian life is al- ways admired. Mr. Mitchell is a true example of such an experience. Already in active service lor God, his superior qualities of leadership and his friendly, cheerful personality are carrying him far toward a genuinely successful ministry'. He readily assumes responsibility and per- forms his duties in a manner that is above reproach. MARIE EVATT In even one of the varied fields in which she has participated, Marie has proved her- self to be an exceptional personality. Be- cause she throws herself wholeheartedly into her work as well as her recreation, she fulfills her duties a little more efficiently than someone else might. Always bub- bling over with energetic vitality, she creates a splendid example of sportsman- ship and fairplay. COLLEGE Theological Seniors ViRGii Mitchell Central.
