Page Three Quieti working in the background, supplying a con- stant source of materials for the building of a Bridge of Education, has been our field representative, Mr. D. L. Jones. He is not only associated with Wesleyan Methodist College, but he has also served the church in various other capacities. For a number of years he was the well-beloved director of Hephzibah Home as well as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. The three years Mr. Jones lived near the college campus were years of privilege for students and friends who, through this close association, grew to know him better. Though most often unseen, Mr. Jones has been an unending in- spiration to all with whom he has come in contact. In ap- preciation of a life lived in unswerving devotion to God and the cause of Christian Education, the Cenfralian staff of 1954 most heartily dedicates this book to a faithful bridge builder, Mr. D. L. Jones. Page Si Mr. D. L. Junes Page Seven The President The stream of time flows on—seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, milleniums—eternity. One generation builds,- another occupies. No one liveth to himself alone. Central College exists for the purpose of helping build a better world; the chief corner stone is Christ. The material with which she builds is composed of the boys and girls who inhabit her campus. This material must be shaped, polished, and fitted to its proper place in the structure. Future generations will determine how well she has succeeded. Poge Eight A I] MIN 1ST II ATI IIN Dean of Dean of College Assistant President FACULTY C.

These activities, as well as those of choir accompanist, pres- ident of the Spanish Club, and editor of the 1953- 1954 Co egian, have not kept her name off the college honor roll. She has been a whole-hearted sup- porter of the Keewanis Literary Society. Contagious friend- liness and capability are characteristic of her. Her con- sistent Christian life has challenged her fellow students. Margaret Ann well deserves a place in Who's Who. William Billing Spiritual, dependable, talented—these adjectives de- scribe Bill. His two years in the college choir have af- forded pleasure for all who have associated with him in that group. Not only has Bill led the sophomore class and the Philomathian Literary Society, but as president of the student body, he has also led the entire group through a year of spiritual and scholastic progress. Living with his family near the campus, he has wielded on influence for God. His friendliness, willingness to work, and humble Christian spirit have made him a campus favorite. These qualities, along with many others, are indicative of one well on the way to success. WHO’S WHO Poge Sixleen Tamua Mr.Mi 11;in In the past two years Tomea has not only excelled in scholarship, but hos also efficiently edited the 1953 54 Centrolian. In a quiet, unassuming way she has lived on College Hill, ever willing to help when called upon. She has loyally supported the Keewanis Literary Society. Her qualities of leadership have been evident in class activities. As she continues to let God direct her life, we are sure she will be a blessing to those with whom she comes in contact. Her leadership, scholarship, and character hove set an example for those who will follow. With con- fidence she has been given this place in Who's Who. W II D ’ K YY IIII R ii Ii h i r , 11! a n W o n d Decorating for the Christmas dinner, giving o puppet show, working as Professor Banker's efficient secretary, and helping with a Philomathion program are only a few of the things the versatile Bobbie Jean Wood, a college sophomore from Atlanta, Georgia, does. She also sings in the College Choir and gives readings during the choir services. Faithfully she has served as literary editor of the Cenfrolion. She belongs to the Forensic Club. Presto Music Club, Bt-Phy-Chem, and W.Y.P.S. Bobbie Jean is always ready to lend a helping hand to someone in need. She is a sincere Christian, a capable and willing leader. Pag SmniMi Gloria Diirsi? Diligence in study has placed Gloria near the top of her class scholastically. Students and friends of Cen- tral College have found a true, dependable friend in her. She has given her support to such varied activities as the Girls' Athletic Association, Forensic Club, Choir, F.M.F.;and K.L.S. Her congeniality and cooperativeness have made her a leader in the Senior Class. Gloria's life of devotion to God and her service to others have en- deared her to each of us. She is well deserving of this place of honor in Who's Who. WHO’S WHO H a h French Friendly, capable, and energetic is Bob. As pro- gram committee chairman of the Philomalhian Literary Society, he has produced entertaining and informing pro- grams. He has capably served as assistant business man- ager of the Collegian. As trombonist and reader he has been a blessing to many. His industrious nature has been evident in the many and varied activities of the Senior Class. His consistent Christian life, his smile, and his in- terest in others all insure success. May God's richest bles- sings be upon him. Page Eighteen GRADUATES ....
