. 1953 CENTRA PuLUJ iL STUDENTS WESLEYAN METHODIST COLLEGE Central, S. C. Dedication Woven in the fabric of Wesleyan Methodist College through the past ten years are the threads of consis- tency, efficiency, and patience as found in the life of Mrs. Myrf e McDaniel, dietitian. Mrs. Mac, as she is more affectionately known, has not only woven a beautiful design of her own life, but also has provided a pattern from which many students are finding help in fashioning their own garments of life. Therefore, in appreciation of such God-likeness, such devotion, and such loyalty, we sincerely dedicate this 1953 Centralian to Mrs. Mac.

Before you lies the great world with its millions of inhabitants, its vast physical resources, its great store of knowledge, and its terrific problems. World civilization stands at the cross roads. Christ is the answer to the world's present need and the hope of its future. Your opportunity is to know Christ yourself and make Him known to others. Central College is yours. It is not operated for the benefit of its board of trustees, its faculty, or its patrons. It exists that you, as students, may grow and develop spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically, and aesthetically. May God grant that you will take ad- vantage of your opportunity and go forth to serve the present age. R. C. MULLINAX f resiclem Poge Twelve administration GORDON H. CARY A. B., M. Rel.

Page Thirty-Three CL j onJer redericlt The Theological Senior who has won this place of honor is Ponder Frederick from West Blocton, Ala- bama. Besides studying, working, and caring for his family, Ponder finds time to teach a Sunday School Class. The consistency of his Christian life, his smile, the genuine interest he shows in others, all insure suc- cess for Ponder as he leaves us to preach the glor- ious Gospel of Jesus Christ. May God's richest blessings be upon him. t lO J bettij I One of the outstanding members of the Sopho- more Class is Betty Voight from Dayton, Ohio. Betty is dependable and efficient as has been shown by her work as Assistant Librarian. She sees things that need to be done and does them. Betty has demon- strated her secretarial ability as the secretary of the FMF. She is also a member of the A Cappella Choir and a Keewanian. Betty's life of devotion to God and her service to others have endeared her to each of us. She plans to continue her education at Marion College. Page Thirty-Four oltn Paul Callxoon Intellectual, dependable, musical—these describe John Paul. He is the son of missionary parents who are now serving in Haiti, West Indies. Three years of service in the A Cappella Choir and two years in the Quartette evidence his musical abil- ity. He was selected to lead the Forensic Club and is active in the PLS. John Paul is an honor student and has won for himself a place in the hearts of everyone. These characteristics and his sterling worth indi- cate future success. wl m WcCatt This capable South Carolinian, who plays the piano exceptionally well, is one of our busiest stu- dents here at WMC. In her work as Associate Editor of the Centralian, she has shown her industrious na- ture; in fact, all of her work is done thoroughly. Peggy Jean finds time for PLS activities. Forensic Club, Spanish Club, FMF, and is a member of the A Cappella Choir. Peggy, who has a humble, sweet Christian spirit, deserves this place of honor in Who's Who. Poge Thirty-Five Cart Wool, 2)c Energetic, friendly, and scholarly are some of the characteristics which distinguish this senior from An- niston, Alabama. Do love of sports and good grades go together? Moody has proved that they can. He is always seen on the ball field if a game is being played and is finishing high school in three years with top grades. Moody is a member of the A Cappella Choir, the Quartelte, the KLS, and is vice-president of his class. God has a place in His harvest fields for one so capable as Moody. y lO J .5rancei csComax Frances Lomax, a senior in high school from Thomosville, North Carolina, is good-natured, en- thusiastic, and reliable. Her leadership ability was recognized by her class; therefore, they elected her to lead them during their senior year. Frances is also a member of the A Cappella Choir, the Forensic Club, and the PLS. Because of her enthusiastic support of the foot- ball team, Frances was a PLS cheerleader. She is Sports Editor of the Centralian. Artistically inclined and interested in interior dec- orating, Frances, a natural leader, will always find a place for herself in life.

The Student Council is fast becoming the strongest organization on the campus. Celebrating its first anniversary this year, the Student Council has undertaken the responsibility of building a Student Rec- reation Center. The Student Council will be conducting the publicity campaign for its school project and will assist in organizing the work. The Student Recreation Center is to be located in the basement of the dining hall which at present is unoccupied. Included in the Recreation Center will be the College Bookstore and Cupboard and offices for the College Collegian and Centralian. For recreation there will be shuffle board, table tennis, and various other indoor games. Dr. C. Maurice Burns has drawn up the plans and the work has begun. It is the aim of the Student Council to have this project completed by the beginning of school next year. Page Forty-Two y - J JC ec wants cHiterarij. Society y W 7 ? The Keewanis Literary Society, whose motto is Kindness, Loyalty, and Service, has participated successfully in football and basketball this year.

The members strive daily to attain these standards. Pag© Forty-Four r � PL ilomcithian JCiL crarij 'Society Prudence, Love, and Service is the motto of the Philomathian Literary Society.

The spiritual side of our life is cer- tainly the most important, and Rev, Wilcox has capably filled this place of responsibility. Of the many outstanding characteristics of our pastor the most out- standing is that he says only what he can prove. For everything that he says in the pulpit, there is always Scripture to back what he is saying. As our guide in spiritual matters for the past three years. Rev. Wilcox has proved himself a true friend, a faithful minister of God, and a humble servant to the people. -ikMGEUSrc REV. L 0 WILCOX College Postor Fall Evangelist V REV. H. K.

NOVEMBER, 1053 NUMBER TWO Youth Convention Held Here We feel that the Southern Area Youth Convention which it., r ted on our campus November 4 and contin- ued through November 7, was a suc- cessful one. Every meeting was thor- oughly enjoyed by the students and visitors. The convention began with a ser- vice in the college church on Tu« day evening in which our song di- rector, Mr Sam Allred, sang two solos. Rev. H K Sheets, the mam speaker and General Secretary of the W. Y. P. S., brought to us a very stirring message taken from Isaiah 8:6. Many interesting events were in progress during the next two days of the convention. The day started with breakfast at 7 00 m the college dining holt, alter which prayer time was conducted in the college church until 8:00. From 9:30 until 10.10 each day dis- cussions of the problems of the W Y P. S. were led by Rev K W Johnston, General President of the W Y. P. S. and pastor at Spartan- burg. S. C. A discussion of Youth's Social Problems was carried on in the col- lege chapel each day at 10:45 through 10:55 by Rev H K Sheets. These discussions proved to interest our young people immensely The morning services, beginning at 11:00, consisted of congregational singing, special singing by Mr All- red and the college choir, and more stirring messages from the Evangel- ist. They wrere followed by the noon meals served in the dining hall. Talent hour, from 2:15 to 3:05, was led by Professor E. Stanley Banker in the college church. It was made up of students and visitors who were talented in different fields such as singing, playing, giving readings, etc. Professor E. Harold Shigicy was in charge of the free time lasting from 3:10 to 5:15. Different recreational activities were carried on among which was a football game between the Philomathian and Keewanis Lit erary Societies. From 6:15 to 6.45 following the supper hour, Rev. Oscar Bynum, pastor in Alabama, conducted Ves- pers on the college campus. The evening services were next, beginning at 7:00. Each of these ser- vices was begun by the chairman. Rev C Wesley Levin. The singing of Mr Allred and messages of Bro Sheets made them unforgettable meetings. Conference W Y. P S president who were present were as follows: Rev Earl Alexander. South Carolina: Rev. George Vernon, Alabama; Rev Charles Hatre, Tennessee; Rev Neal Palmer, South Georgia; Rev. W E Payne. North Georgia; Rev, R W. Garner, Florida: Professor Claude Rickman, North Carolina.

Why should I be thankful? The fact that you live in Amer- ica is enough to be thankful for. Although the United States isn't all it should be, we do recognize God as the supreme being! We should thank God for providing us with good eyes, limbs, and all the other things that help us enjoy life. We hardly appre- ciate our senses until we see someone who is deprived of his. Do we thank God for giving us good health to work and pro- vide the necessities of life? We should be more thankful for having the opportunity of attending a Christian school where we can better prepare ourselves for our future work. Although wre have had a certain day of the year set aside for Thanksgiving, it is appropriate and correct to praise God for his mercies to us on other days as well. People have always had appreciative hearts, and as Americans we should thank God every day for all the opportunities that are ours. We are prone to take all the good things of life for granted —that it was God’s duty to bestow them upon us. This is the wrong attitude for us to take, because God is no respecter of .persons. One of our greatest needs is to be more thankful! Let us all determine in our own heart to give more thanks to God in the coming year than we have before. As you gather around the dinner table on Thanksgiving Day, may you have a prayer of thanks in your heart that you haven't had before. Then when you return to school after the holidays, remember to show' your thankfulness by thankslwing each day, “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord.” Psalms 42:1.—J, A. J. The President Speaks Mother nature has spread over the campus a lavish display of very gay and gorgeous colors in this autumn season It seems the campus has nev- er been more beautiful. The President motored to Macon, Georgia for a meeting of the Board of Managers of Hephzibah Orphan- age, October 30. It was a blessing to contact the children and workers of this sister institution. A big turkey dinner added to the enjoyment of the occasion. The beautiful office recently fin- ished for the librarian will make for greater administrative efficiency at the library. All signs point to the last of Nov- ember as the beginning date for the construction of another wing to Mc- Donald Hall. At a meeting in Memphis, Tenn- essee the last of November, the Pres- ident is to appear before the Com- mittee on Junior Colleges when the committee considers our application for membership. At this time it will be decided whether a committee will be appointed to continue the study of our application, Pray, Pray, Pray! The annual Christmas dinner which has become traditional in the life of Central College and has meant so much in the matter of Public Re- lations is scheduled for December 18, 1952. The Local Board of Managers is scheduled to have its regular annual meeting Tuesday, January 13, 1953, at 9 A.M. Pray that the Lord may give direction. R. C. Mullinax, WHY EDITORIALS ARE WRITTEN An alarming percentage of our student readers pay little or no at- tention to the editorial section of the newspaper. This is an alarming fac- tor because the purpose of the Col- legian is to serve and the most val- uable service that it can render is to give advice in its editorials. The value of an editorial lies in the lessons which it brings to its readers. Its principle Is self improve- ment, a matter with which most stu- dents should be concerned. The correction of the common, or- dinary faults which act as hindrances to success is the chief object in mind. Schooling is merely a training period for our talents and character; there- ' (Continued on Page 6) NOVEMBER, 1952 THE CENTRAL COLLEGIAN PAGE THREE I s Sti( akin r Sophs!! By MARTHA Sh-h-h-h-h could be heard all through the dormitories on a certain Friday morning at the early hour of 3:00 a.m. Creak, crack, squeak, went the floors as our bare feet slipped quietly out of our rooms. Ddwn the dark alleys, out the street to the old apple shed those mysterious noises went Whispers such as, Where's everybody? Hey, did you forget to wake him up’ ' were heard us one by one we sneak- ing sophomores filed into the shed Yes, it was time for our sophomore sneak, and everything was turning out fine; that is, until all at once we heard a noise. Down the street came some kind of vehicle with no lights. It must have been a funny sight to see us all lying fiat in the apple orchard only to find that It was the bus, which was right on time. Everyone seated himself on the bu and settled down for a happy jour- ney. We were off the campus and still not caught Where were tho « alert, suspicious freshmen? Off we went for Atlanta. Georgia, after meeting our tardy sponsor and his wife in Central. Sighs of relief were breathed as the bus drew fur- ther and further from W M C. Atlanta. Georgia, was reached about 7:30 a.m. Tired, sleepy soph- omores descended from the bus and went in search of breakfast. It wouldn't be a trip without bus trouble and that was the situation Writing cards, window shopping and exploring occupied our time until the bus was ready to roll Among the things that we enjoyed in Atlanta were a visit to Grant Park, the Capitol Building, shopping, and eating dinner. Next place on the list was Chat- tanooga, Tennessee, which we reach- ed about 6:30 p.m. We sighted Hotel Ross and were given our rooms for the night, after which dates were quickly made, und we all went in search of a good place to eat supper. After supper we en- joyed seeing the Halloween celebra- tion on the streets of Chattanooga We oil fitted quite naturally in the crowd of weird figures The next day we began with breakfast at 7:00, and headed straight for Lookout Mountain. A thrilling experience for us was the ride up the mountain on the steep incline, which was in places at about a 72.5 From Our Teachers There's quite a bit of news from our classrooms this month, so let’s get started It seems as if Prof Rick- man's history class might have had a hard time responding to his re- quest of, If that's all on this page, we'll all turn over. The psychology class was a scene of two-faced people Harold Bean in- formed the das that the two side, of a person’s face could show differ- ent emotions. In other words, he said, one side of a person’s face could be beautiful and the other side the ugliest thing on earth.” Then why don’t you turn the other side?” asked Prof. Shiglcy. It seems that Tuaky told the his- tory class that he started reading the dictionary once, but it changed the subject so much that he quit. Prof Rickman told his history class that ns n student he used to stand out” in his classes A bright student, namely Hcrschel, volunteered with this Information, I used to stand out in my classes, too. outside the door. Miss Uebele was telling her fresh- man English class what type of punc- tuation to use before conjunctive ad- verbs. What would you get if you put a comma before these words' she asked Harold Bean piped up with this answer. An F Prof. Shigley really seems to en- joy telling his classes about Hazel ’ She must have been quite a girl. Prof. The college American history clu . was the scene of this brilliant re- mark. We usually think of bare- footed southerners but 1 guess Mary Ellen found herself a barefooted yan- kee. By the way. Bill, why were your shoes off that night—in front of the girls’ dorm at that That’s about it from here If you have any suggestions, be sure to give them to some member of the Colleg- ian staff degree angle We visited as many of the places of interest on the mountain as time would permit. Dinner was eaten in Chattanooga about noon, and after a little looking around town and shop- ping. we were on our way back to Central. Gainesville, Georgia was our stop- ping place for supper, and from there we stopped not once until wc reached W M. C. (Continued on Page 6, Cot, 2) THE rLearful During this past month our Mous- ey has been busy gathering little bits of news on the campus, in dorms, and in classrooms. It has been re- warded by the following bits of cheese John Paul Cal boon has adopted “Peg of My Heart for his theme song, but I can not figure out his crazy whistle when he goes by Peggy Jean's window'’ Can you? Most girls are afraid of mice, but Suggs seems to be Mousey’-ing around. Has Melvin finally melted his heart of stone? Could ■ certain Georgia gal have had anything to do with if’ What about It Jo? Who is the girl who keeps “Crowe- ing around these Sonny-days”? Who is the new girl In the ninth grade, John Olin? Margaret? The only couples that can date, even though they arc not old enough are Henry and Ruth, und Bobby and Margaret. Say Moody, maybe you can explain why you were so upset when the English class was discussing “1 shall’ I will!” Frances, maybe you had bet- ter start saying I will! Perhaps Pat can tell us why Don asked Professor Rickman if “dear could be used as an adjective. Bill, wc hove been quite worried about your making up your mind which Mary to MaHrty. Whose picture has been roving around lately? Could Tommy and Billie tell us” Could an., .me give in information on those letters Bob Bartlett has been receiving. What about it Bob?

I can tell you who the future South Carolina Conference President will be. It’s inherited! What about it, Mary Ellen? Well, so long for this time, we have run out of cheese The Mouse PAGE FOUR THE CENTRAL COLLEGIAN NOVEMBER, 1952 GRADUATE SKETCHES MRS. HELEN PATTI MULLINAX A beautiful, little, black headed, brown eyed baby girl was born in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Ram- pey on April 13, 1908 in Piedmont, S. C. This little gii'l was named Helen Patti Rampey. Mrs. Mullinax attended school at Central in her earlier years, and it was then that her courtship with Dr. R. C. Mullinax began. Little did she dream that after her marriage to him he would become president of Central College. After her marriage in 1929, Mrs. Mullinax left school to rear a fam- ily. In 1950 she decided to continue her education at Central and here she is with us now. Her favorite food is “anything edi- ble.” Among her favorite pastimes are sewing, quilting, and crocheting. We wish for her success and God’s richest blessings. DELLA ANN NORMAN A big bundle of joy arrived on April 2, 1936. This bundle of joy was called Della Ann Norman. She’s al- ways been a big bundle, and has al- ways had a big mouth. We guarantee you, she yells louder than anyone else on the ball field. Della likes football and enjoys being a cheer- leader for the Philomathians. For a hobby, she likes picking at her sister, Olga. When there’s free time and these sisters are together, they usually make the best of it. Della has many friends and we all presume that she will succeed in whatever job she undertakes to do when she’s through with school.

Fran, as she is bet- ter known to most of us, was born seventeen years ago on April 25 in Thomasville, N. C., into the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Lomax. As a result of a scholarship which she won, Fran came to W. M. C. three years ago. She is President of the Senior Class, a member of the choir, on the Centralian staff, and a Philomathian cheerleader. Her favorite sport is football and, need- less to say, her favorite player is Moody. Her favorite subject is Eng- lish, she likes to eat (and talk), and her favorite color is green. Fran’s pet peeve is seeing a girl in a suit and bobby sox. She has not as yet decided on her future plans, or at least she won’t tell us, but we hope she will be back at W. M. C. next year. HARMON MARTIN As the March winds ceased to blow, a rolly-polly, blue-eyed youngster was welcomed into the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Martin of Mount Airy, North Carolina. After search- ing endlessly for a name to rightly fit this “little one”, they finally de- cided to call him “Enormous” for short and for formality, Harmon Martin. He came to Central in his sopho- more year, but ages have passed now and the once mischievous “Enor- mous” is now one of our high school •seniors in the class of ’53. He is a loyal Philomathian. Harmon says his hobbies are “hot- rods . . . his favorite dinner would include: creamy mashed potatoes and crisply fried salmon patties. His only pet peeve seems to be conceited peo- ple; whereas, his likes, which no one at Central would question, are gals, the type music that comes from the hills of Tennessee, and cars. We wish Harmon God’s guidance in the future. BARBARA ANNE COALSON In the town of Birmingham, Ala- bama, on February 16, 1935, a pretty, brown-eyed girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Coalson. They decided to name her Barbara Anne. Today, a senior in high school, Barbara has dark brown hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. She is an attractive, slender girl, 5 feet, 6 inches tall and has a very friendly smile for everyone. When asked if she liked any spec- ial guy she blushed and with a shy grin replied, “Not necessarily; I like them all.” We really wonder! Barbara has three hobbies, draw- ing, reading, and, of all things, col- lecting letters! Her favorite food is carrot salad; her favorite colors are blue and yellow. She likes people in general and wishes to teach school for her career. Barbara is majoring in foreign languages. God bless you in the future, Bar- bara. BETTY JEANNE SMITH One bright morning, October 15, 1932, a loud, cute little baby girl came into the world to begin her happy life in Birmingham, Alabama. The proud parents were Mr. and Mrs. N. N. Smith, and the cute lit- tle girl was none other than Betty Jeanne Smith. Betty has been at Central two and a half years, and she considers the school a wonderful place to be. Besides Central, Betty likes Eng- lish and poetry. Her favorite quota- tion is, “There is nothing too hard for God.” Dishonest people and English peas seem to be her greatest dislikes. Although she isn’t sure, Betty thinks she will choose either Evan- gelistic work or nursing for her life’s work. Her greatest desire is to be in the will of the Lord. May God bless her. PAT PATRICK February 27, 1935, a bleak rainy day, brought a bundle of blessing to the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Pat- rick, This bundle was a darling baby girl whom they named Jimmie Pa- tricia, better known as Pat to her friends. .. Pat, with her dark hair, brown eyes, and charming personality, hails from Birmingham, Alabama. Everyone has his likes and dis- likes and of course Pat is no excep- tion. The most predominate like in Pat’s life is Don. Pat also likes oy- sters and shrimp. She says she definitely detests nos- ey people and “tattlers”, and she is not very fond of Spam. Pat came to Central for her first year in high school. She will grad- uate this Spring and truly we all hope for her the very best God has. NOVEMBER. 1952 PAGE FIVE THE CENTRAL COLLEGIAN GRADUATE SKETCHES RUTH MAW If you were observing the Seniors on College Hill, there is one young lady who would attract your ..tten- tion. Of course I'm speaking of the quiet, blonde haired, blue eyed girl named Ruth Maw. Mr. and Mrs, W. J, Maw must surely have been proud parents on November 7, 1934 when Ruth came into their lives Ruth has been at Hepzibah Or- phanage since she was nine years of age. She has two brothers. Quietly Ruth has gone around the campus since last year, making friends in her own quiet way. She likes almost all sports, and about everything that contains chocolate. She also like?- quartet music If Ruth has any dislikes no one will ever know about them. Ruth has no definite plans for the future as she graduates from high school this year. Moy God richly bless you, Ruth, wherever He may- lead you. EVANGELINE PRESSLEY It was on January 5, 1935, that Evangeline Pressley was born into the family of Rev. and Mrs. F. H Pressley of Felzer, South Carotin She attended grammar - .-hool in Piedmont and is getting her high school education here at W. M C Van , as most of us call her, has brown eyes and brown hair, stands 5 feet, 5 1-2 inches, and tips the scales at 124 pound:- She likes al- most anything that is edible, espec- ially Hershey candy bars «could that he because Hershey and Herschel are sort of common? They are both sweet)! One of her dislike, i conceited people, especially when they are boys. Van’s hobby and pastime is playing the piano. She is a member of the college choir and the K.L S. Van is undecided as to what her career will be. May she be in the Lord’s will and have His smile of approval on her life! CAROLYN JOSEPHINE TILLMAN One summer morning, August 20, 1935, a baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Tillman. They named their new daughter Carolyn Jose- phine Tillman. Carolyn comes from a rather large family consisting of six sisters, one step sister and brother. Since being around so many girls it isn't hard for her to find dormitory life very pleasant, Carolyn specialise, in commercial work After graduating she plans to work in an office. Big brown eye-:, curly brown hair, and soft baby complexion are just a few of her physical ttir action- Don’t get the idea that she is con- ceited just because she is quiet; she is a lot of fun when you really gi-t dors landing, and trustworthy. May God’s love ever shine forth in your life. BRUCE SHEETS It wii. during a thunderstorm on April 16, 1933 that Mr. and Mrs £ of lightening In their home In the Sheets. Hi.1� home town.

If I did not enjoy my work so much I would say that I was tired, but 1 have to admit that I have enjoyed having at least one of my questions answered by stu- dents instead of teachers. After scratching around in several of the sawdust piles around here I found the reason why so many of our stu- dents decided to come to Central Col- lege. I thought that you might like to know why the following students chose Central College: Fred Thompson — I had been out of school for a year and a half when the Lord spoke to me and told me to go back to school. He showed me very plainly that I should come to Central College. I came by faith and have not been disappointed. Mary Ann Howard — I came be- cause of the Christian influence of the school. I thought that the teach- ers would be more understanding and interested in the student as an individual. Harold McCutcheon — 1 want to be an engineer designer and I thought that Central College would be the ideal place for me to get my science background. Mother and Daddy also influenced me to come. Frances Paschel — The Lord call- ed me to Central College. Sam Allred: “Has Brother Sheets arrived yet?” Prof. Banker: “No, he hasn’t.” Sam Allred: “If he doesn’t come do you think we’ll be short-Sheet- ed?” Why Editorials Are Written (Continued from Page 2) fore scholastic improvement, as well as that of ourself, is often dealt with in this section. In each editorial the editors try to present helpful guidance that will be practical to you. The advice offered here will be useful in keeping W.M.C. standards on the present high level Editorials may not be as sensation- al as the other articles, but they are essential. If the reader will give due attention to this section we believe he will find that the editorials often give a helping hand in many every- day problems.

The students and visitors were then given a chance to show their missionary favor as pledges were taken. Us Sneaking Sophs (Continued from Page 3) In mountain clothes and with ri- fles the freshmen welcomed us back. The cleverly planned reception was made up of welcome speeches, sneak- ing songs, relating of the sneak events, sympathizing with Dari Fow- ler because of his pretended sick- ness, etc. Marcella Johnson was crowned “Queen Brain” because of her part in the sneak plans, and Bill Baker was crowned “King Sucker,” because of his contribution to the waking of Bill Cornell the night of the sneak. Another feature in the reception was the rendition the sophomores sang to the freshmen to the tune of “Bicycle Built for Two.” The sophomore sneak of '52 will certainly be remembered in years to come by all who took part.

There have been four society games played with each team winning two games. In the first game of the season, the K L S. eked out a hard fought but well earned victory over the Philo- mnthians 6-0 It was nip and tuck all the way and with only three minutes remain- ing Carlton McCoy passed 35 yards to end Moody Davis for the only score of the game. The second game was one of the most thrilling games played on the Wesleyan grounds in quite iwhilc ami was won by the K L S 14-12 Th«' Keewanis scored midway In the sec ond quarter when McCoy paused 20 yards to Glenn Rader, but the P.L.S came charging right back and pushed over two touchdowns within eight minutes. The first one came with Ja- cobs passing to Childers and it wa- 6-6 Six minutes later, the P L S had another score. Thh one wn again from Jacobs to Childers from 40 yards out The half ended 12-6 and remained that way until the fourth period when Bill Fllnchum broke through rmd blocked one of Jacobs’ punts. The score was now P L. S. 12, K. L S. 8 Then with only 45 seconds remaining Melvin Smith tossed to Moody Davis on the P. L S five yard line nd Davi- v :;t into the end zone. The piny covered 40 yards and put the K L S. aheud to stay 14-12. The third game was won by the P. L. S. 12-3 Neither team could score during the first three period but early in the fourth period the K. L. S. drove all the way from their 35 to the P. L. S 18 yard line from which point Sonny Lusk split the uprights for a field goal and gave the Keewanis a short lived 3-0 lead The P L. S, scored again, this time from the K L. S 30 yard line, Ja- cobs passing to Rogers for the tally The final statistics showed the K. L. S. with a net total of 163 yards and 5 first downs while the P. L. S. had a net total of 142 yards and three first downs. In the fourth game the Philomath- inns rolled up a 13-0 halftime leud and added another touchdown in the waning minutes of the final quarter. Their first score came as a result of a blocked punt by George Gaines on the K L S 10 yard line The ball bounced into the end zone with Bill Baker recovering for the P L. S. The second score came on a 23 yard pass from Jacobs to Matherlcc. Ja- cobs converted and it was 13-0. Jacobs passed to Childers who int- ended to Rogei- for the P L S fin d score.

Minute Sermon Ye are not your own. I Cor. 6:19. Who has you? What possesses and controls your life? These are impor- tant questions. They need to be asked and answered honestly. Christ has made full provision for our re- demption, but have we yielded our- selves to Him? Or do we insist on our own right to ourselves? It is one thing to have been redeemed; it is quite another to let Christ have the control of the whole of self. Does Christ have you? Or is it pleasure, ambition, or the world which has you? Some personalities are in the dutches of the evil one and of the evil habits and evil passions which come from him. Yes, the price has been paid—paid by the blood of Calvary! Paid in a way which proves the great love of Him who paid the price! Dare we resist His love? Dare we delay in yielding to Him full sovereignty and sway in our lives? Rev, Leslie D. Wilcox HOW'S YOURS? How’s your school spirit? Are you “all the way for WMC, or do you occasionally criticize and find fault with the faculty, the other students, or the wa the school is run? How do you support your society? Do you try to help all you can by entering into the programs, yelling at all the ball games; or do you sit back and say. “Well, they don't seem to want me. because they didn’t ask me to be on their program, or “They don’t want me to play ball, so I’ll just sit back and let everyone else do the work. They don't need me anyway. Of course they need you! Come on out and enter into everything and feel that you are as much a part and that you are needed as much as anyone else. Do you help to keep our school buildings and grounds as dean as possible? Let’s not go around littering up the campus with candy wrappers and orange peelings. If you see someone forget and drop something, pic k it up Lets do our best to keep the campus clean and unlittered. Do you enter into all the social activities? Don’t let everyone else have all the fun. but join in and take a part in all the gath- erings. Be a part of the group. Don’t stand back by your- self. but help to make the gathering a bigger success. Last of all, but most important, are you helping to make Central a better place by being at your very best spiritually? Maybe you could help someone else if you would spend more time taking and living as God would have you to. Do you read and pray as you should? Let’s be at our very best for God and try to make WMC the very best we can.—M. A. C. The President Speaks It was the privilege of Dean Rick- man and the President to represent the Institution at the annual meet- ing of the Southern Association which was held at Memphis. Tenn- essee, beginning December 1. We ap- peared before the committee which reviewed our written application and we feel that our report made a fav- orable impression The result of the consultation is given in the follow- ing quotation from Dr. J. M. Godard, Executive Secretary of the Associa- tion: 'The committee on Jr. Colleges has approved an association survey of your institution contingent upon the approval of your high school di- vision by the appropriate state com- mittee cif the Southern Association, such approval to be secured before a survey is made.” The substance of this decision is to the effect that as soon as the state committee approves the High School, the Association is ready to proceed with the survey. We are greatly en- couraged over this decision and ex- pect to press along toward securing approval for the High School as soon as possible. Regional accreditation, however, generally requires time and we must not become impatient. R. C. Mullinax, President.

MOUSE PAGE FOUR THE CENTRAL COLLEGIAN DECEMBER, 1932 GRADUATE SKETCHES HERSCHEL SMITH On Febniary 21, 1935, a baby boy, with a tenor voice, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Elbert D. Smith, Birming- ham, Alabama. They decided to call him Herschel. We are very happy to have him here in school with us. He is a loyal member of the K.L.S., a member of the choir, and sings first tenor in the college quartet. Herschel has just “one” favorite girl friend. Although he travels a lot with the quartet, he likes very much to hear our college pastor, Brother Wilcox. His favorite sports are football and “slugging.” When asked what he liked most to eat he replied, “Just food.” When he finishes high school he plans “to go to school again, ii pos- sible.” May the Lord richly bless you, Herschel, in whatever you do. JAMES ROWE On January 27, 1936, the “Louis- ville Kentucky Destroyer”, a prom- inent newspaper, boldly announced the birth of a bouncing baby boy named James at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Rowe. Jim Rowed” his way to W. M. C. in 1951. He will graduate from high school this spring. Like most boys, especially those preparing for the ministry, his fav- orite eats are fried chicken and cream potatoes. His pet peeves are Georgia girls—especially one. He is a loyal Philomathian and participates in the athletic games. He also enjoys horse- back riding, swimming, and basket- ball. As he prepares for evangelistic wmrk we hope for him God’s best and His guiding hand upon him. ELIZABETH HOUSER Mr. and Mrs. H. C, Lewis of Clin- ton, N. C., became the proud parents of a daughter, Elizabeth, on May 2, 1952. Later they moved to High Point where Elizabeth spent most of her childhood. She came to Central in her Junior year of high school. While at Cen- tral she met Gene. They were mar- ried August 22, 1950 and Lib drop- ped school in favor of housekeeping. She entered school again this fall and will graduate in the spring. ROBERT WAGER On December 20. 1934, way over in Southern China, a small, blue- eyed, black haired boy was born to Rev. and Mrs. WiLliam N. Wager. Of course this was the one and only Bob Wager. At the age of one, he was brought to the 'United States. Then at the age of eleven he went back to China. He stayed there four years and in Japan three years. Then he returned to the United Slates, then at the tered Central. Bob is the baby of the family. He has two sisters. His dislikes are for people to judge other people. His likes are poetry and “pretty girls.” All Chinese foods are his favorites. He is a loyal Philomathian. Bob plans to be a missionary. May God be with him. LILA JEAN WILLIAMS Mrs. F. B. Williams beamed with happiness on September 28, 1935, at Central, S. C. when she presented to her husband a darling brown eyed, brown haired baby girl. Rev. Wil- liams at that time was pastor of the Second Church, They moved away later and then returned to Central in 1947. Lila entered high school as a freshman in 1949-1950. .Lila is a loyal member of the Phi- lomathian Literary Society and one of the cheerleaders. She is also a member of Presto Music Club, For- ensic Club, College Choir, and Typist for the Collegian. Like everyone else she has her likes, among these are out-of-door (anytime), music, frank people, and “Southern” cooking. She dislikes “sissy people,” “sloppy people,” gin- gerbread, and holidays on the cam- pus when everybody leaves. Whatever her plans are for the future I am sure with God’s help she will make a success. Lib is a P.L.S. and F.M.F. mem- ber. Her hobby is sewing and play- ing the piano. She is a faithful work- er in the mission at Seneca and we hope she will be as faithful when she and Gene go to Japan as mission- aries. JEANETTE LEONARD Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Leonard could not have helped being overwhelmed with joy on the arrival of the little girl born to them on July 1, 1935. Featuring beautiful gray eyes and light brown hair, Jeanette came into the world at High Point, N. C. This 5 ft., 2 in., 110 lb. lass is a member of the K.L.S. and an en- thusiastic cheerleader for that socie- ty. Jeanette, now from Baltimore, Md., attended the Pilgrim Bible Col- lege in Kernersville, N. C. for two years. This is her first year with us at Central. She likes sports, watermelon, and Joe. Her smiling face and pleasant personality are proof that she has hardly any dislikes at all. Jokingly Jeanette said that after graduation she would “get a job and settle down.” Seriously, she would like to do secretarial work. May God grant her success. DON CROUSE Don doesn’t remember what the weather was like but he does re- member that it was wash day and February 21, when he first opened his eyes oh this dreary old world in Thomasville, N. C. Don’s parents moved to High Point when he was four so Don went along. As many of Uncle Sam's nephews, Don was called to serve a hitch in the Army. After his discharge he came to Central. Don’s favorite food is ham and eggs and he likes traveling, fly- ing, sports, and working in the cup- board. His pet peeves are “pets and big shots.” Don is a member of the Philomathian Literary Society. As he continues dating Pat and in preparation for the ministry we wish for him God’s best.

The new wing will consist of four rooms and a bath m the basement. The parlor, which will be 36 x 16, will occupy � 11 of first Moor except for one room and bath. The second floor will have four rooms and a bath, and the third floor will have three rooms and a bath Prof J B Childs, with the aid of his helpers, should be commended for the splendid work he has accom- plished since the foundation was laid on November 20. 1952 The frames for the doors and windows have been set up and each sunny day brings nearer the completion of the new wing. • La Rue Speaks Here Central College was honored by the presence of Rev, Glenn F La Rue, of the China Inland Mission, who spoke at the Foreign Missions Fellowship on January 16. 1953 Rev La Rue spent sixteen years in missionary work among the tribal peoples of soulhw'cst China He is now the Assistant Executive Secre- tary of the China Inland Mission Rev La Rue showed two films The first film, Flower of Tibet,' was the life story of a Tibetan girl whose leperous mother was driven from home by her father when she was but a baby. The girl and her mother wondered for many years seeking help but none could be found. ‘Continued on Page 6, Col. 3 Youth Week To Be February 5-8 We are all eagerly looking forward to Youth Week which is scheduled to begin on W M C, Campus on the fifth of February, and to continue through the eighth of that month. This occasion will be in the form of ■ i Missionary Convention This will interest the students greatly, as many of them are preparing for the mis- -ion field, and most of us are inter- ested in our mission work. Several of the Wesleyan Mission- aries who are home on furlough arc expected to be present to speak in different services They and their fields of work are as follows; Rev. aid Mr William Wager. China and Japan. Miss Stella Wood, Australia ,md India Miss Grace Wood, India.

Day services will be held also; although the arrange- ments have not been determined as yet. There will be three services on Sunday, and a Chapel Service on Sat- urday as well as on the school days We are expecting God to meet with us and give us wonderful services Remember Youth Week in your pray- ers.

Yes, we are fast approaching the middle of this school year. What opportunities have we, as students at Central, had thus far? There are so many until it is difficult to know where to begin. Some may ask the question, “Why make good grades and study every night? I will be satisfied if I only pass!” We should not forget that if we have this attitude toward our school work, we will probably have this attitude throughout life. All of us should have higher ambitions than this. If you are one of those who are pleased with just getting by, do better this next semester. It won’t hurt any of us to do more! We have had opportunity after opportunity to help each other. Have we been as good a roommate as we could have been? Have we been as friendly to others as we have wanted them to be to us or have we been selfish in all of our motives? None of us are expected to please everybody by what we do; but if we are friendly and kind in the right way, our life on col- lege hill will be more pleasant. These are only a few suggestions that will make life more en- joyable for all of us. As we are approaching the close of this semester, may we as individuals recollect the things we wanted to accomplish but never did get around to with these things in mind, may we start our next semester with a greater determina- tion to do our best in everything. Although this part of the school year is almost gone, the other part lies before us like a large sheet of blank paper. What are you going to write on it in the days ahead?—J. A. J. The President Speaks These are the highlights of the president’s annual report. The Local Board met for its an- nual session January 13, 1953. Re- ports indicated some degree of prog- ress during the year. Total enroll- ment for the school year is 237 as compared to 256 for the correspond- ing period of last year. Non-veteran enrollment has been exactly the same for last year while the veteran en- rollment has been less by 19. Total receipts for the year amounted to $135,765.52 whereas total disburse- ments amounted to $131,673.17. Fin- ancial gains were summarized as follows: gained by cash on hand, $4,092 35; gained by reduction of lia- bilities, $5,900.02; gained by capital outlay, $3,462.84; total gain for the year, $13,455.21. During 1952 the mortgage on the campus which had come as a result of a building pro- gram was paid in full. Among the materia] improvements for the year were the construction of an office for the librarian, redecoration of the basement of the administration build- ing, installation of a stoker for Smith Hall furnace, completion of the chem- istry laboratory, and the beginning of McDonald Hall wing. From the academic standpoint the institution has made some forward strides. Dr. C. Maurice Burns, Head of the Science Department, is the first teacher with a PhD to grace the faculty of Central College. Professor C. R Rickman received the M.A. in Social Science from the University of North Carolina last summer. Sev- eral of the teachers attended summer sessions. Dean Rickman and the President attended a Junior College Workshop at the University of North Carolina during the summer. Some of the Music Faculty attended Music Workshops. The Institution became a member of the American Association of Jun- ior Colleges in June of 1952, The Southern Association after having re- ceived our extensive written applica- tion, and after a conference with Dean Rickman and the President at Memphis, Tenn., authorized a survey study contingent upon approval of the state committee for the high school department, Last fall the in- stitution was approved for training veterans under public law 550.

Although we missed Miss Uebele very much, we were very glad to have Dr, Mullinax for the Freshman and Sophomore teacher. During one of the Freshmen’s very enjoyable sessions the Dr. asked Betty Ruth Crosby, Would you say 5 and 3 are —or 5 and 3 is—nine?” With much confidence she answered, Why, 5 and 3 IS nine.” The Dr, replied, I thought 5 and 3 were 8.” A Dunkard, as Prof, Rickman de- scribes it, is a man with a long beard. During a discussion of one of his classes, Janice Warmenhoven said she used to go with one. When Prof, asked her about it, she replied, But he didn’t have a beard. This one is also from Prof, Rick- man. His English class was writing letters of application. Frances Lomax was reading hers and when she clos- ed it she said, “I remain—Yours sin- cerely.” With that, Moody Davis turned to her and replied, You told me last night you were mine!

PAGE SIX THE CENTRAL COLLEGIAN JANUARY, 1953 New Books In The High School Wins Minute Sermon A new year has dawned! What will it bring? What lies be hnd the veil of the future? No one can pene- trate the dark mysteries of that un- known world which lies just around the corner of tomorrow. But what- ever that futute may hold, it need have no terrors for the child of God. His Father is the One who fashioned this universe, and who holds the reins of its destiny in His hands. Certainly we have every right to put unshaken trust in Him! More than that, we ought to face the future with an aggressive atti- tude, not supinely taking whatever of sin and wrong it may hold, but with aggressive faith determining that by God’s help we shall do all in our power to make this new year count for God and holiness. In actuality, the prayer room has more to do with shaping the future than the council chamber, the legislative hall, or the congressional committee room. Will you be one to stand in the gap to make this new year count for God? Rev. Leslie D. Wilcox. Marriages9 isi tors, Etc. Rev. and Mrs. W. C. Cockman, of Clover, S.

The first half saw very little scoring and end- ed with the college ahead 14-7. Smith, who was tagged with five personals long before the game ended, saw only partial action in the second half. Hopper also fouled out in the second half. The third quarter ended 23-21 with the college still on top but Rowe and Davis began to “hit” and led their team on to victory with 14 and 11 points. Flinchum led the col- lege team with 8 points. Box Score: High school: D. Gaines 2, Rowe 14, Davis 11, Hopper 4, D. Mullinax 2, Lusk. College: Flinchum 8, Childers 4, Smith 7, Rader 7, C.

Coaxing, pleading, arguing, promise of untold wonders brought from him nothing but the stubborn ultimatum; “No country for me.” “But why not?” his mother asked. “Because, he said, “they have thrashing machines down there, and it’s bad enough when they do it by hand.” La Rue Speaks Here (Continued from Page 1, Col. 2) Finally, after wondering over moun- tains, plains, etc., the pair finally reached the Borden Memorial Leper- osarium.

The try for the extra point failed and it was 6-0. Neither team could get another drive underway until the fourth quarter when the high school drove all the way from their own 35 yard line. The scoring play came on a pass from Lusk to Davis. The play covered 33 yards. The ex- tra point attempt failed and the score remained 6-6. With only two minutes remaining in the game, the high school intercepted a College pass at mid-field and in three plays drove to the college 10 yard line and with time for only one play Lusk’s pass was batted down in the end- zone. This is yours truly’s last article as Sports Editor of the Collegian. I would like to take this space to ex- press my appreciation to the students and the members of the faculty for their cooperation in helping me on these articles, and of course to my bosses and the staff thanks”. Gene Choir Team Beaten Although we haven’t started the basketball games between the liter- ary societies, we have played one game between the choir and non- choir teams. This was a close game with the non-choir team eking out a 50 to 43 decision. With Rader and M. Smith leading the way the non-choir team rolled up a 28 to 21 halftime margin. The choir team came back strong early in the third period to take a five point lead, but trailed at the end of the quarter by one point. The non-choir team was led by Rader and Flinchum, with 17 and 14 points respectively. They were fol- lowed closely by M. Smith with 13 Basketball Preview Since the basketball season is late getting underway at W M. C., it is a good chance for us to give a few comments on how the two society points. Leading the way for the choir team were Davis with 14 and Lusk with 13. Each team lost one member via the personal foul route as Mc- Coy and Banker were caught for five personals. Box Score: Choir: Denton, Rowe 11, Davis 14, Lusk 13, Banker 5, Patrick, H. Smith. Non-choir: Flinchum 14, D. Gaines 2, M. Smith 13, C. McCoy 4, Rader 17, Childers, D. Mullinax. Score by quarters: Choir __ __ __ . „.12 21 38 43 Non-choir 16 28 39 50 teams stand as far as players are concerned. The Keewanis have six men from last year's squad and are expecting their captain and star center, “Nig ’ Turner, to return for second semes- ter work. The Philomathians have only three men from last year’s squad, but one of these, Doug Childers, will have to leave school to answer the call of Uncle Sam. They are expecting their high scorer, Dick Chandler, to return second semester. As for new men it stands fairly even. Expecting to help the Keewanis a great deal is Melvin Smith, a 6' 2” center, who excels on rebounds. Also a new man is Danny Gaines, a six footer. The Philomathians have Bill Dil- ling, a six footer, who has played three years of high school ball on a triple A team. He averaged 12 points a game and lettered his three years. George Gaines will also help consid- erably. As the games get underway, we want each of you students to be on the court rooting for your team. It gives the players more zeal to fight for their banners when you are sup- porting them. CLlu' fcaslcu |Jnu iTss Printers -- Publishers Office Supplies PHONE 6861 EASLEY, S, C.

The Central Collegian VOLUME TEN CENTRAL, S. C., FEBRUARY, 1953 NUMBER FIVE Youth Sponsor Missionary Convention The Missionary Convention, spon- sored by the Youth of Central Col- lege, opened here Thursday night, February 5. The aim of the conven- tion was to present as many of our Wesleyan Mission fields to our youth as we could. Students and visitors were stirred by the wonderful mes- sages of our own foreign missionar- ies. On Thursday evening, Rev. A. J. Argo presented the African field to us in a challenging message. On Fri- day morning, Bro. Wager brought an- other stirring message in which he told us about the fields in China and Japan. On Friday night, Bro. Wager showed slides on the China mission. Mrs. Argo brought an inspiring mes- sage on Africa Saturday morning. The convention was climaxed on Sunday with the regular services conducted by the Wagers and an afternoon district Youth Convention in which all three of the fields were presented to us again. Special music was rendered throughout the conven- tion by students and faculty mem- bers. God richly blessed us by allowing us to have this wonderful fellowship together and by allowing us to hear these soul-stirring message. McClain Discusses Alcohol Problem Rev, Howard G. McClain, the ex- ecutive director of the Christian Ac- tion Council in South Carolina, spent the day of February 12 on the cam- pus. During the day Rev, McClain lectured in several classes and show- ed films on the alcoholic situation. The Council fights the alcohol prob- lem and has in its’ membership ten denominations of which the Wesleyan Methodist Church is one. Rev. McClain has had experience in this field and after graduating from the Southern Baptist Seminary at Louisville and has spent two years in graduate study at the University of North Carolina. Projeci Presented Vividly showing the need and what we all could do to help, the four officers of the student council and their sponsor, along with Dr. Burns presented the project of the proposed student union in an assem- bly program February 13. Doug Childers first called our at- tention to the need and then Glenn Rader developed the need. After Prof, Shigley told what had already been done toward the project, Dr. Burns presented to the audience an eight by ten diagram of the union. Jane Blake and Carlton McCoy then discussed what each student and faculty member could do to help make this project a realization. Pledge cards were distributed and are now being filled out by eager students who are donating work and money. Have you made your dona- tion yet? In Memoriam It is with a deep sense of reverence that we dedicate this issue of the COLLGIAN to the memory of three loyal supporters of Central College, Revs. W. D, Correll, W. R. French, and J. T. Bartlett. The loss of these men has been felt by all of us who knew them and the many people all over the Southern Area that have been influenced by their lives. After a period of about six months’ illness, Rev. J. T. Bartlett, a resi- dent of Clemson, South Carolina, passed away on December 24, 1952. Rev. Bartlett had spread his influ- ence over a wide area in the capac- ity of a song evangelist during his faithful service for his Savior. Rev. W. D. Correll, pastor at Car- lisle, South Carolina, passed away after a week’s illness at Spartan- burg, South Carolina, on February 2, 1953. Rev. Correll was for many years a member of the local board of managers and a leader in the Again! Yes, grade cards again. For some it was a pleasure to look at the fruit of their labor for the first semester but for others it was a tragedy. Those that looked with pleasure were the ones with a “B” average or higher. John Paul Calhoon led the college department with a 3.00 average while Kenneth Bauer topped the high school with 2.55. Below is a list of students making at least a “B” av- erage.

South Carolina Conference. Rev. W. R. French, pastor of the Alice Mill Church in Easley, South Carolina, passed away February 17, 1953 after a sudden heart attack. Rev. French was a frequent visitor on the campus from his home nearby and was held in deep esteem by the faculty and students.

ALL IN ONE DAY In the course of one day the basement of the dining hall was cleared of all the junk and odds and ends that had been placed there. Less than twenty-five persons accomplished this to pave the way for the concrete floor that will be poured there. These students cooperated and all pitched in to do the job. Those of you who know how littered the basement was, know that this was quite a task. As you have probably already guessed, my subject is co- operation. Most of us would say, “My, but they must have co- operated in order to clean the place out in one day,” but let us look at it in a different light. Less than twenty-five persons did the work that will benefit every student and faculty member on the campus. The ratio then would be about 25:250 or about 1:10. Does this sound like cooperation to you? The subject of cooperation is a broad one and much can be said about it, but let us look at it only in the light of the student center for a minute. Students, this is your project, this is for your benefit and if it gets done, you will have to do it. Don’t let some of the students do all the work. When the student cen- ter is finished I venture to say that every one of us will be there enioving it. Will you be ashamed then because you didn’t heln now? Pledge cards are coming in very slowly but those that are working are working hard to make this much needed project a realization. Won’t you cooperate and donate your leisure time and money. As Rev. Bryant so ably put it in a recent chapel service, “If you itch for something, let’s be willing to scratch for it.”—G. E. R. The President Speaks At the annual meeting of the Board of Managers of Central Col- lege which was held January 13 and 14, the Rev. Foster Piatt, President of the Florida Conference, and Rev. D. L. Zavitz, pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Macon, Geor- gia, were welcomed as new members. The Board expressed its confidence in the faculty members by nominat- ing each for another year of service. The Board expressed appreciation to Professor Harvey for his faithfulness in his service as Dean of Men. Since Professor Harvey declined to con- tinue in that office, Professor Rick- man was nominated to succeed him. The green light was given to a project to develop a student union in the basement of the dining room. Students, faculty, and alumni groups were authorized to raise funds for this project and the labor is to be donated. Professor Childs will super- vise the construction. The Board adopted plans for rais- ing funds for the construction of a music building and appointed a building committee to make recom- mendations regarding the location and type of building. The committee has recommended that a combina- tion of music building and auditor- ium be constructed on the site where Teter Hall now stands. The music building is to be a two story struc- ture, 30’ x 80’ and is to face the highway. The rear of the building is to be an auditorium 68’ x 90’. The entire structure is to be built of ce- ment block and veneered with brick. The recommendations of the commit- tee are subject to approval or mod- ification by the Board. By action of the Board the College is purchasing from the Chicago E%'angelistic Institute the laboratory equipment previously owned by Kletzing College of University Park, Iowa. This equipment will enable us to teach college physics, organic chemistry, and qualitative and quan- titative analysis. The cost of the equipment if new would be approx- imately $3,300. The Board is also endeavoring to develop a project known as ‘‘Facul- ty Heights” to be located across the valley, northwest of the library building. Faculty housing is a “must” for the future development of Cen- (Coniinued on Page 6, Col. 2) FEBRUARY, 1953 THE CENTRAL COLLEGIAN PAGE THREE From Our Teachers It seems that the discussion in So- ciology class was along the line of the problems of the school and Prof. Shigley had been telling of the dif- ferent ways of competition. “Now if I were to pack up and leave Central it might help the situation a little.’' This was the instructor’s way of ex- plaining his point but he got this an- swer from Carlton, “Why, I’d guar- antee it.” In a class meeting Dari was read- ing a letter from Mary. This was the incident that she related, Harold Ad- cock was to pick Dari up at the hos- pital to bring him back to school and asked for “Mary Cockman’s husband” when he knocked at the door. It looks as if Mary will be pay- ing board at two places soon. By the way, since when does the fellow take the girl’s name? We don’t have a writing class at Central but if we did a few students would make good use of it. It seems that when they want to spell a word that for some reason is too hard they just put down the first couple of letters and make a wavy line after them. We’ve also noticed a few teachers doing it but they were just in a big hurry. Yes, Miss Uebele made a slip the other day. While she was calling the roll in Lit class she had to ask twice if Mr. Outen was present—and Ruth isn’t even married yet! Some teachers at Central just aren’t doing their job! While Rev. McClain was talking to a class he asked what the basic institutions were. After a long pause he wrote the first one on the board. Prof, Shigley began to feel ashamed so he began coaching Harold Bean. You know, to tell you the truth, I really don’t believe we had come to that part of the book yet. Flash! A student of the College American history class brought this startling news to class the other day, “There are still a few people in the world who really believe that the North won the Civil War.” Can you imagine that? Some of the high school boys were shooting matches from clothes pin guns. Mrs. Calhoon seemed disgusted over the fact that there were so many matches on the steps of the ad build- ing and remarked to Prof. Rickman, “Can’t something be done about this?” “Sure,” was his reply, “why don’t you give ’em a whipping? ROVING REPORTER By MARTHA It is very interesting and in many cases amusing to hear the almost always prompt replies to my ques- tion, “What do you think of teen- age marriages?” Let me share with you some of the answers. Alice Puilin—“In this age, teen- agers aren’t settled enough.” Carlton McCoy — “The circum- stances are more important than the age.” Nancy Jo Busby — If ho is the right man, marry him.” Margaret Jo Bryant—“I think it’s okay if you really love him and are in the Lord's Will.” Barbara Coalson—“Oh! I think they’re just grand. I think I'll get married.” Sally Woodruff—“I think they’re kinda crazy, but if someone would ask me—.” Phyllis Babcock—“They’re awful, unless you're nineteen.” Sara Cockman—“The best thing to do is to be an old maid.” Bill Cornell—“Tops. Mary Ellen Tuggle— I haven’t had my chance.” Dari Fowler— I think they’re won- derful.” (He should know.) Professor Rickman — “Some are better adapted for marriage in their teens than when they’re thirty or thirty-five. Of course some are nev- er adapted for it. Gene Abston — If you’re over eighteen it’s okay, but if under eight- een, no good. Ann Crittendon— They’re wonder- ful.” Moody Davis — “I’m agin ’em. There may be a few exceptions.” Peggy Jean McCall—“I'd jump at the chance.” Prof. Rickman: “Dick, do you have the suit that you were married in this summer? Dick: “Of course not, do you us- ually keep the bandages after an ac- cident?” We are sorry that we don’t have more news about more teachers but if we don’t know about it we can’t print it. Tell someone on the staff the things that happen in your class- rooms. THE (jSr EARFUL Our Mousey has lots of cheese to nibble on this month, so let’s get started. Everyone is wondering what has happened to Joyce Childers. She seems to be Hopp(er)ing around quite a bit. It looks as if we have a modern “Romeo and Juliet” on our campus now. Bill Cornell has at last found his pot of “Gold.” How about it, Jean? Doug Hames is Wand(a)ering around the campus in a daze again. Tamea has at last made up her mind to settle down. Congratula- tions, Moody. Sonny was caught outside Margar- et Ann’s window about 10:00 one night. What were you doing, Sonny? Singing “Indian Love Call?” All the girls are wondering why Steve Johnson doesn’t give them a chance. Come on, Steve, don’t be a woman-hater any longer. Billie Faye is “Gaining quite a bit lately. Better watch out, George. Barbara Jones goes around the campus sort of droopy lately. Could it be because Jack has gone to the Navy? Jim Singleton is “Park«er� ing” around on the Ad Building steps quite often now. I wonder if a girl named Maxine has anything to do with it. Ruth can’t seem to get her mind on her lessons any more. It’s always in Alabama. David doesn’t seem to be “Mac'lng out so good lately. What's wrong, Dave? Bruce, how did you succeed when you took Tamea an apple? Did she come down to see you? That’s about all for now. Keep putting your suggestions in the “Earful” for next month’s issue. Who is the fellow that has been picking Della Ann Norman up late- ly? He sure has a nice car. It seems that Margaret Ann Crowe enjoys playing “Mamma” to little boys rather than being in the big- time racket as a full-fledged girl friends — ask Mrs. Calhoon. PAGE FOUR THE CENTRAL COLLEGIAN FEBRUARY, 1953 GRADUATE SKETCHES RACHEL SAWYER GENE HOUSER Judging from Rachel’s clean, neat appearance, it is not surprising that sewing is among her hobbies. An- other of her hobbies is cooking, and naturally she specializes in her fav- orite foods—steak and strawberry shortcake. Even though skating has its downfalls and uprisings she en- joys trying. If you think she is reserved just remember that most bashful people appear that way; however, you will find that her quiet personality con- tains a sincerity that anyone would appreciate. She is an active member of the K.L.S. of which she is secre- tary. Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Sawyer of Sophia, N. C. received with joy a small bundle of delight on March 28, 1934 when Rachel was presented to them. Rachel is not certain what tomor- row may bring, but her hope is in Christ. ROBERT CARLTON McCOY Iva, S. C. was the birthplace of this active sophomore on February 9, 1934. During his four year stay at Central he has been a consistent honor roll member and is often seen on the athletic field. Carlton was captain of the K. L. S. football team this year. Being president of the K. L. S., treasurer of the Student Council, and vice president ot his class keeps him busy when he’s not working or writing letters to Altavista. Carlton likes blue and gray, girls, and food. Nosey people and non co- operation rate as his pet peeves. By the way, he’s still single. After graduation this spring, Carl- ton plans to join the Air Force ca- dets before Uncle Sam puts him in the Army, May he have God’s bless- ing. Stalin was looking through a Sears- Roebuck catalogue with wonderment gleaming from his eyes. Finally he placed the book aside and exclaimed to himself, “My, look at all the swell new things for us to invent!” Gene Houser is the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Houser of Kings Moun- tain, North Carolina. He was born August 6, 1929 in Cleveland County. He went into the service in 1946. When he came out of the Marines in 1948, he entered Central the last semester. Gene finished High School in 1949- 50 and married Elizabeth Louis of High Point, North Carolina, August 22, 1950. Gene is now one of our fine Soph- omores. His hobbies are working on cars, reading, and collecting wild pets. He likes anything edible. When he finishes college he plans to teach until he gets his visa to Japan as a Missionary. May God be with Gene and Lib as they prepare for His service. MILLARD HANGER Millard was born December 16, 1929, at Detroit, Michigan. His fath- er traveled a lot so before Millard was very old he had been as far south as Florida and as far west as California. Finally, they settled down in the state of Virginia where Mil- lard finished high school. Millard has been at Central for four years. During this time he met Marie Corn whom he married on May 30, 1952. He will graduate from Junior College this spring. Blue is the favorite color of Mil- lard's and sauer kraut and hot dogs are his favorite foods. He is a very agreeable person but doesn’t like people who don’t live what they pro- fess. We wish Millard and Marie the best in the future. GLENN RADER This active student was born on December 30, 1933, on a small farm in Ohio, He first came to Central as a freshman in College. During his two years at Central, Glenn has been active in sports and other extra-curricular activities. He is vice president of the Student Council and the K.L.S. as well as editor of the Collegian. Any extra time is spent working on the dormi- tory or studying “just enough to MARY ELLEN TUGGLE Five feet, six inches, eyes of blue, lots of fun—who else could it be but Mary Ellen Tuggle, called “Tug” for short. Everyone at Central knows and likes this girl. She was born on October 26, 1932 and having been here for three years, “Tug” is more or less a permanent fixture on Col- lege Hill. She is an active Keewanis and is all out for sports, especially basketball. Her favorite pastime this year appears to be roller skating. Mary Ellen is makeup editor of the Collegian and works very hard at the job. “Tug” is very fond of read- ing and says Psychology is her fav- orite subject. She utterly abhors bossy people and states that brag- ging is quite disagreeable. Mary El- len’s plans for the future are unde- cided, however, she does plan to further her education elsewhere. May God make her a blessing. RUTH OUTEN Who is the attractive girl serving trays to our sick? Why it is none other than our assistant nurse Ruth Outen. For the past six years, Ruth has contributed much to the enjoy- ment of our daily life on the cam- pus. She has also enriched the lives of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Outen of Kannapolis, N. C. Ruth was born in Kannapolis on June 10, 1933. During her stay at W.M.C., she has been an active member of the Kee- wanis Literary Society, the Presto Music Club, W.Y.P.S., College Con- ference, N. C. State Club, F.M.F., Forensic Club, and Scince Club. On Sunday mornings she can be found helping with the Beginners’ Sunday School Class. May God’s richest blessings rest upon Ruth as she seeks His guidance for her future. Doug: “Who introduced you to Pat?” Don: “We just met, I’m not blam- ing it on anyone.” make the honor roll.” Glenn is also a member of the Forensic Club. He married Blanche Tesnow Aug- ust 15, 1952, and they are now living in Teter Hall. Glenn likes to travel and play basketball. He is captain of that team for the K.L.S. this year. He dislikes washing dishes and his pet peeve is “show-offs.” After graduation from Central, Glenn plans to continue his educa- tion at Marion College. FEBRUARY, 1953 THE CENTRAL COLLEGIAN PAGE FIVE GRADUATE SKETCHES BETTY VOIGHT A bashful little blonde-headed, blue-eyed baby girl was born on Sept, 3, 1927, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Voight, Betty, as she was named, weighed only 3 lbs. How glad we are that she survived and not too many years later came to Central College. She has been at Central- almost two years and is a member of the Kcewanis Literary Society, the col- lege choir, and F. M. F., of which she is secretary and treasurer. Among many other things, Betty likes to play the piano, sew, and read. Being a quiet, reserved person herself, she does not like people wiTo talk too much. This pleasant, intelligent sopho- more plans to finish college at Mar- ion, Indiana, but she is not sure as to what her future work will be. Her earnest Christian life will do much to help her in whatever she may choose to do. The Lord’s bless- ings be upon her. VALETA SUGGS Valeta, with her twinkling grey eyes and hearty laughter, could qual- ify as the friendliest girl at Central College. Valeta practices the policy of putting God first, others second, and self last and it is certain that if she continues to follow this pol- icy she will be a real blessing for the cause of Christ. Long walks in the calm of the night have always been a source of inspiration to her, however, she en- joys staying indoors when she is reading a good book. As you can tell by looking at her, Valeta is a big eater, and Southern fried chicken and lemon pie only encourage her the more. When there is a school game you can be sure Valeta is on the sidelines yelling for her favorite team, the K. L. S. September 14, 1933 will always be a great day for Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Suggs of Tabor City, N. C. because that is the day they fell captive to the charms of their second daughter, Valeta. Prof. Harvey: “What is an ex- clamation point?” Harmon: “A period that has blown its top.” WALTER LEWIS PIPPIN Among those on our campus who keep us laughing, is a fellow with a forehead that goes back a little too far and very jolly eyes. He is none other than “Pippin”. He was born in Warrenton, N. C., on September 5, 1917. He left his service in the Post Office at Durham, N. C. for service in God’s Kingdom. He likes to eat, as well as sleep. His hobbies are sports and selling shoes. “Pippin entered W’. M C. May 28, 1951. He is a loyal member of the P. L. S., Vets., and the Spanish Club. When he finishes Central, he plans to enter home mission work. May God bless and keep him. Wanted — Trained Christian Youth The Bureau of Placement Service, Rapid City, S. D., is happy to assist Christian young people who are train- ed as teachers, nurses, office workers, or those who have had training in other fields of skilled service.

Compliments of CENTRAL MILLS Central, South Carolina PAGE SIX THE CENTRAL COLLEGIAN FEBRUARY, 1953 Minute Sermon Today the sun shines; tomorrow the rain may fall. One day fortune seems to smile upon us, but the next some baffling problem or dark, im- penetrable providence may confront us. In such fashion does life present its changes. Nothing about us in the material world is stable or lasting. Everything decays, grows old, gets out of date, or changes in some fash- ion. These changes may bring to us disappointments, sadness, and sor- row. But whatever change may come, or whatever the effects of that change in our own lives, we may rest our souls in supreme confidence on an unchanging Christ. James tells us that with God there is no variable- ness or shadow of changing. (James 1:17). A shadow is that which bears the profile or has a resemblance to the object which casts the shadow. In other words, with God there is no changing, nor even a semblance of it! If shadows come into our lives, those shadows are not cast by any change with God! It may be a change in men! It may be a change in our point of view! But there are no shad- ows cast by any change on God's part. He is the same, yesterday, to- day, and forever. Leslie D. Wilcox. Visitors Our campus is always open for visitors. Whether you have a friend or just want to see the progress of our school, you are welcome. A few of the visitors for the past month are: Rev. Richard Addison, pastor at Ararat, Virginia, seems to have a very special interest at W.M.C. and was a visitor recently.

The non-choir boys hit a hot streak in the third period and rack- ed up 16 points to 5 for the choir. As the fourth period began the choir was behind 29-17 but they be- gan to close the gap and with two minutes left, went into the lead 33- 32 but the non-choir put on a rally to pull the game out of the fire.
