i S A 'Yi RYA . 'N 't '- f ' N, s V G if is W W -A sf 1- , .,,, H V' Adkissonian History The Adkissonian Literary Society was the first organization of its kind in Clarendon College. Its members have been known as Adds thruout the Colleges and Universities of the State. Why? Because the Adkissonian activities tend toward the education and development of the soul and intellectg and these activities have produced men who have ADDed to those institutions and walks of life which they have entered. Adkissonianism means a band of students, of brothers, united in a common cause,- to make men. Men, so developed in refinement and delicacy of perception that they may ever be able to hold aloft those true Christian virtues of kindness, justice, purity and truthg those manly attributes, courage, courtesy, and chivalryg those attributes of the mind, expression, memory, imagination and reason. With these high ideals before us is it not easy to see why we have successful men in every occupation? We have ministers of the Gospel who by their utmost sincerity and diligence have proven themselves worthy apostles of Christ. And many others successful at the practices of law and medicine. Those of our members who are business men and farmers are men of high ideals and just as successful. Our men have been called from year to year to higher places and our ranks thus seemingly thinned have been filled with new men and our steady unimpedeable advance has not been hindered. The small incidents in the past annals of our history have woven themselves into greater events and found a place in the honors of Arkissonianism. With one bounding rush we have overcome the bulwark of obscurity and now we are marching forward in brilliant rays of the sun of success. Our society of the school year 191 6-'I 7 has added much to our glorious history. An ADD boy made one hundred of the one hundred and sixty points scored in football: and nf the thirteen boys wearing the C, eleven of them are ADDs. An ADD has easily made highest honors in the Senior class: the Junior class look up to an ADD as their best-g Senior and Junior class presidents are ADDS. An ADD has managed the first successful lyceum course in Clarendong and an ADD won the Peace Oratorical Contest. ' Having thus carried our standard forward as it should go, we look to those of succeeding year to advance it steadily in the same manner until the Purple and White will be reflected in the lives of thousands .of our truest American citizens.
