His untiring devotion and his willing- ness to undertake any task given him has gained tor him the admiration of all who know him. In appreciation ot his years of service and his kindly Christian guidance, we deem it a distinct pleasure to dedicate the Golden Jubilee edition ofthe i956 Centralian to PROFESSOR MARLING J. ELLIOTT. is R. C. MULLINAX A. B., M. A., D. D. Page Eight President's Message The curtains are falling on Central's fiftieth year of service to God, to the church, and to the youth who have been enrolled- fifty sessions opened, fifty faculties, fifty student bodies, and fifty graduation classes. God's presence and blessings have been manifested in each of the fifty years of her operation. lt is indeed a Golden Anniversary. The backward glance over a half century of Central's history brings a great thrill of gratitude, but let us venture to scan the future. A golden glow tints the eastern horizon. lt is not even- ing but dawn. What does the future hold for Central? The answer to that question lies in the hands of the student bodies, the faculties, the Board of Trustees, and the constituencies that shall exist in the years ahead. May each one connected with Central's future dedicate himself to maintaining the ideals of the past and building a greater Central for the future. R. C. MULLINAX r Al r..4--' E. STANLEY BANKER, JR.

Her true Christian life and many fine qualities bespeak her future success. Who's Who EVANGELINE CROWE Evangeline Crowe is one of the outstanding members of her class. As editor of the COL- LEGIAN, secretary at the sophomore class, member of the College Choir and triple trio, she has contributed much to school life at Cen- tral. She also serves as one of the secretaries to President Mullinax. Her spirituality and de- pendability make her one of the best-liked stu- dents on the campus. -,X V. 4 'YY- It In College MILDRED HARTSELL Quiet, friendly, and likable-all these describe the personality of Mildred Hartsell. Scholastically she is at the top of her classes. Because of her capability she serves as sec- retary of the Spanish Club and secretary of the Student Council. She is also talented mu- sically, singing in the College Choir and play- ing the piano and organ. l 'Hn PAUL BAKER WOOD A man who accomplishes what he sets out to do is Paul Baker Wood. Interested in every- thing would well describe him. He works as manager of the Centralian and assistant dean of men. He has really worked diligently to secure funds for a bigger and better CEN- TRALIAN. His leadership ability and his scho- lastic record earn for him a place in Who's Who.

She has a high scholastic average and works faithfully as secretary of her class. She has shown her dramatic ability by appearing in several plays during the years she has been here at Central. Her smiling face and sparkling brown eyes have made her one of the most attractive girls on the campus. We feel that she is very deserving of a place in the 1956 CENTRALIAN Who's Who. WARD CATHY FRENCH One of the most popular boys of the senior class in high school is the president, Ward French. His activities include singing in the choir and participating in various sports. Be- cause of his consistent Christian life and fine personality, he is well-liked by everyone at Central College. We are sure that Ward will make a success in life and add much to the Christian work. JANE RICHARDSON Although Jane is quiet, she is able to make high grades and work efficiently as secretary to Professor Freeze. Her friendliness and her good nature have won many friends for her since she has been here at Central. As she makes plans for her future as a nurse on some foreign field, we feel that the Lord's richest blessings will be upon her and make her a blessing to others as He has made her a blessing to us. ..-J -- fi SENIORS Officers President, WARD FRENCH, Vice President, ROY DENTONp Secretary, JANE RICHARDSON, Treasurer, JANICE DAVIDSON RUTH NAOMI ARTLEY ATLANIA, GEORGIA P.

This was the day they had been eagerly awaiting for some weeks-the first day of school at this institution, still so new that the main building was not yet entirely furnished. In age they ranged from six-year-olds just beginning their education to adults in the Theological Department. Though most of them came from Central and the surrounding territory, a few were there who came from the neighboring states of North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, and three even from as far away as Oklahoma. Taking their places inside the chapel, which was temporarily seated with church pews, they listened to a round of speeches suitable to the occasion-and the school was launched. This new venture was the fulfillment of a dream which began earlier, when Charles B. Smith, a layman of the South Carolina Conference, offered to the Wesleyan Educa- tional Society, at less than cash value, a tract of land for the purpose of the society's establishing a school to serve the Southern District. As the Educational Society was not Miss Ruth Uebele Miss Margaret Gaines J. B. Childs Lyman Lance H. s. GRADUATING CL ss OF 7926 Nana 3454427 y1!','lI,-aw! 'a then financially able to accept the offer, it was agreed that this society would take the title to the land, but that the Missionary Society should establish the school and care for it until the Educational Society was able to maintain it. Accordingly, after some delay, a building was erected, and the Rev. L. J. Harrington was secured as president and his wife, Mrs. Nellie L. Harrington, as preceptress. Together with the Rev. James M. Han- cock and his wife, Mrs. Grace E. Hancock, they constituted the faculty. Education in those earlier years came much cheaper than it does now, as a com- parison of prices will show. Tuition was from one to two dollars a month, owing to the grade. Room and board could be had at the low price of SZ per week of 7 days, which was to be paid in advance. This price included plain meals, room, bedstead, springs, mattress, stove, and stove wood. Students were, however, obliged to furnish their own oil and to build their own fires. Woe be to the boy dr girl who turned over for an extra snooze some morning and arrived late for breakfast! Within one minute after the last bell had been rung, the door was locked: and the luckless student had to wait until the next meal. Mr. F. B.

Mr. 8- Mrs. W. R. French Old Study Hall HISTORY Social privileges were almost non-existent. Ladies and gentlemen, with the exception of brothers, sisters, and cousins, were not permitted to associate together except by permission of the president, They might take their meals together at boarding houses but were not to meet until at the table, and when the meal was over, they were to go out separately. Girls and boys were required to play separately and to have a different campus. Some things, such as visiting and receiving company on the Sab- bath, were prohibited altogether. Also, smoking, chewing or snuffing tobacco, and rubbing snuff, and the use of Coca Cola, and all intoxi- cants, and the use of profane or obscene language were strictly for- bidden. Any boy over fifteen who engaged in fighting was to be ex- pelled, and one under that age was to be chastized by the president or by his parents. These were a few of the rules that governed student life during the early history of the school. ff ill. ll J. B. Hilson, Cal Mickle Charles Fowler R. C. Mullinax, Gaines Evatt George Hilson Orchestra Margaret Gaines Lyman Lance, J. Frank Childs, lMrs. J. B. Childsb Ruth Keeler HISTORY In January, 1909, the school was chartered as a college and au- thorized to grant the degrees of A.B., B.S., and B.D. For many years following, the school maintained all the grades from the first on through four years of college. Finally, the work of the first five grades was dis- continued, and eventually the sixth and seventh grades were also dropped. In April, 1928, the college was reduced to the status of a iunior college, except that a four-year course leading to the Th.B. de- gree was offered in the Theological Department. This degree was changed in 1951 to B.Rel. In 1953 both the high school and iunior college were accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Further recognition of the high quality of work done at Central was given in October, 1955, when the Theological Department was accredited as a Bible College by the Accrediting As- sociation of Bible Institutes and Bible Colleges. For all these blessings I we acknowledge the help and guidance of our Divine Leader.

I review your pages with a feeling I can't express! I almost wish I could begin again on the fifth day of September. Let's see-it went something like this . . . SEPTEMBER 5 I had the first look at my new home for the whole year as the dormitory doors opened and students poured in from lots of different places. lt looks like a grand year is ahead. SEPTEMBER 8 Well, finally after long hours of standing in line, I am quite formally a student of Wesleyan Methodist College. Registration is over. SEPTEMBER 9 Classes began. This day has been full of wonderful surprises. We formally met the faculty in chapel and became really acquainted with them at the gathering tonight in the dining hall. SEPTEMBER 28 How sweet and surprised Miss Virginia Hooker, our missionary to Haiti, looked when we gave her a sur- prise shower in the library at nine o'clock tonight! The accrediting committee came down to look over the campus today, too. The students co-operated well in cleaning the halls, rooms, and grounds to make a good impression on the committee. Then we all crossed our fingers. OCTOBER 2 Although Rally Day was observed at the college church, most of the students went to their home churches. OCTOBER 5 All the college classes met and reorganized. At the recommendation of the accrediting committee, many college students dropped out of the Junior College Department to ioin the theologues. lPardon me-Bible Col- lege.J OCTOBER 6 Somebody sneaked up on the sophomores sneaking! Prof. Freeze's car gave them a merry chase, but the sophs paid absolutely no attention and drove right on down to Charleston! OCTOBER 8 And the sophomores came sailing in! A real military reception, including a trial for the AWOL sophs, was given them by the freshmen. OCTOBER 9 A group of students went to the Second Church where Brother Hill was holding his last night of revival. So many souls were wonderfully helped. OCTOBER I3 Our own fall revival opened with the Rev. Don Fisher of Ohio as the evangelist. OCTOBER 23 The revival closed tonight. Truly, Central was revived and students sought the Lord, believers were sanc- tified, and others received help. OCTOBER 21 Another annual Harvest Day rolled around, and as usual there were many visitors on the campus. Stu- dents were glad to see their pastors, families, and friends enjoying the day's activities. OCTOBER 26 What wonderful news came to the students and faculty members who had worked so hard on Sept. 28 and 29, when Dr. Mullinax made the official announcement- Wesleyan Methodist College is now an accredited Bible College! NOVEMBER I We students heard what a wonderful time the faculty had as they took time out for their annual faculty party. Someone said that Paul B. Wood actually stumped Miss Uebele on some famous quotations! NOVEMBER 3 Seniors snuck! Uuniors saw you, kids!! NOVEMBER 5 But they didn't stay gone. They, too, had a lovely time at Charleston, and came sailing in complete with sailor hats. The reception must have been wonderful! NOVEMBER 21 Rev. E. L. Eddy was at the college church yesterday, and tonight we were privileged to see his missionary films on Africa at the college chapel. NOVEMBER 23 Our first vacation came today as classes were dismissed, bags packed, and students poured out of the dormitory for Thanksgiving holidays. NOVEMBER 28 The longer you stay away from Central, the gladder you are to come back! At least, most of us were. We all came back to eat once again at Mrs. Mac's tables. lt's good to be back home, ' DECEMBER 2 Regions Beyond was shown in the college chapel. lt was a very good film with a soul-stirring message. DIARY DECEMBER 3 Once again the students' co-operative efforts paid off, and dear old W. M. C. walked away with a S50 check for having the best Christmas float in the Central parade. lt's good to be best! DECEMBER 'l5 Everyone came to supper all dressed up! Yes, it was the Christmas banquet-and what a banquet! The A Cappella Choir rendered some beautiful music to accent the delicious meal. Some one later remarked to Prof. Banker that he believed Prof. could take a group of folks who didn't know one note from the other and turn them into Metropolitan Opera stars! I'm almost convinced it's true! DECEMBER I6 Nope, it wasn't a fire that made the buildings clear so quickly. At ll a.m. Christmas holidays began. By noon, Not a creature was stirring . . . fAt least, not on College Hillli JANUARY 3 lt was good to come back and show off all our Christmas presents, but even better was the news we re- ceived today. Miss Hooker received her visa. JANUARY 24-27 Cram! Cram! Cram! Exams, books, worried looks. Everybody that passed them breathed a sigh of relief. JANUARY 30 How quickly this day came! We made it! We registered for second-semester courses, and it didn't take so long since we were old hands at filling out all those cards! Eleven new students also registered. FEBRUARY 9-T2 How hearts were stirred as the missionary convention brought six missionary speakers to us! There were inspiring messages at least three times a day every day during the convention, we realized so vividly our op- portunities, privileges, and responsibilities concerning missions. FEBRUARY 2'l-23 The Southern Area Ministerial Convention brought to our doors many visitors. Dr. F. R. Eddy was the special speaker. MARCH 9-T9 We had another wonderful revival with the Rev. Gerald Cary from Kansas as the evangelist. MARCH 25 The College Chorus presented the beautiful oratorio, THE HOLY CITY today, and it was beautifully pre- sented. MARCH 29 The students, many of whom were beginning to suffer from the dread disease of spring fever, were re- leased, from school to spend their spring holidays at home. APRIL 3 All the students had sufficiently recovered to be back in their first period classes. APRIL 'I7-T9 The Leaders Conference has iust closed. All of the denominational officials were in attendance as well as all college and conference presidents. Dr. R. S. Nicholson presided during the conference. It was a lot of fun meeting so many new people. MAY 29-30 Another session of cramming for everyone except a few of the lucky ones of the graduating classes who had a B average. MAY 31 Class night-the program was very good, but there were a good many tears shed by those who were at- tending their last class night at W. M. C. JUNE l The alumni meeting was held. lt was such fun to see the former students all gathered together talking about the old times, the joy was diminished a little, though, at the thought that someday we'd all be alumni. JUNE 2 The beauty of the last music recital of the year again brought tears to a few eyes. These last few days have passed so quickly! JUNE 3 What a busy-memorable-Sunday! Baccalaureate service in the morning, choir program in the afternoon, and in the evening the last missionary service of 1956 at Wesleyan Methodist College. JUNE 4 Monday, 10:30 a.m. If ever there was an occasion as happy, sad, and wonderful as this, it was forgotten as solemn faces, happy faces, sad faces, passed through the doors of old W. M. C. to the strains of that tradi- tional Pomp and Circumstance. That's the wonderful year that has slipped by among friends and helpful faculty members. And diary, along with the theme of this 1956 Centralian, let's make it our prayer that the King Eternal will continue to lead us all, long after W. M. C.'s most memorable days have been made history.
