The addresse- graph, graphotypc, mimeograph, and two typ:writcrs are kept in almost constant use in preparing bulletins, advertising mat- ter, and letters for mailing. The work is done almost entirely by students who use this means to pay their college expenses. Five or six students are given regular work in this way. This office is also the headquarters of the college accountant, Mrs. P. W. Mattox. The modern cquipmenr in the business office gives op- portunity for practical experience to the students specializing in the commercial department. They learn by actual practice to use the machines they will find in the well-equippsd business office. Business lenlicc Enarh nf Eruatpw OFFICERS D. A. TUCKER L. L. BELL W. E.

N. ARMSTRONG President MRS. j. N. ARMSTRONG Dray: Of HIOTHEII TO THE STUDENTS OF i-IARDINO COLLEGE Should Harding College live? This should be determined by the service she is rendering. If she does not fill a place of needed service, she does not deserve to live. If she is not doing a service for you and, through you. for the world-a service that is not being rendered by any other institution in her section of the country-all of the sacrifices made for her are made in vain. Why should a group of society struggle to found an institution in a territory already occupied by state colleges and universities that are well equipped and well supported by taxation? It goes without saying that the founderei and supporters of Harding believe she is rendering a service that you cannot get elsewhere. It is this conviction that has prompted every sacrifice made for her. But is the institution really doing this thing? Youeyou, her students -are the answer to the query! If you are not a different product from what you would have been had you gone elsewhere to school, our labors and sacrifices are lost. I! all depend: upon you. In a few weeks you will be sifted into the SOCiety of twenty states and Canada. If in that society you exalt in your lives the fundamentals of Christianity and build in your community a deeper reverence for Gode a reverence and piety not seen in other college students; if you stand for the ideals and principles of Christ, our Lord, and support in your community His church, Harding College has vindicated her right to live and every faithful soul should rally to her cause. We believe in Harding and in you. BROTHER AND SISTER ARMSTRONG. J.N H-BPFITHONG 'HDH .119 L' .D EII DE MEL! AND ANCIENT LANSEAC-E L.C.J'EAHI H 3.6.,MA. man u :ucum GM.

Of course the honor student must, first of all, hav: superior scholastic ; but the general attitude of the student, the variety of his activities, and his aIl-round - are factors in the choice. .7222: :EZu-uu 6314.3 6' KIEFFER RHODES FORBES SHERRILL ARMSTRONG BELL 1 RC igious Lgiucolion Facuily The distinctive feature of Harding College is religious education. Were it not Jfor this department, the institution would not exist; The well edUCated man is one who is trained in body, intellect, and soul to serve. To attain this end, the program calls for the daily study of the word of God. What limit can be set to the influence of such a service? The daily chapel excrciie is a fatter in this work. The young men's meetings on Monday night; the various services of the Church in the regular Lord's day meetings, morning and evening; the midweek prayer meetings; various group meetings, such as the Mission Study Class and the Leaders. Training Class, are all inspiring and useful means to serve the religious needs of Harding's students. In addition to this regular religious influence, are the occasional lectures and addresses by visitors on religious subjecrs. A ten daysi meeting by some capable and faithful evangelist in which the gospel is preached is a fixed feature of the school year. The meeting is con- ducted some time in the spring of each year. Is not the religiouS life well cared for at Harding? , 75;: ; W n. w '5 - WW + 2.4117 . dignHthR-AL E EMF h JWE ghN'h? AAission Stucly Class Harding College and her predecessors have been the dominating influence for the fifteen missionaries who are now working in Africa, China, and Japan. Thoughts of starting a Mi; sion Study Class to further such influence had been continually coursing the minds of the interested few, but no starting point had been detennined until Brother Don Carlos Jane: visited Harding, bringing with him his always valuable information and enthusiastic zeal for the foreign mission work. Through his many appreciated suggestions 3 meeting was called, in which Sherman La- Niet wu elected president. Lois June McGregoty, secretary, and Eva Johnston, reporter. During the past six months of our work, the people, customs, traditions, and religions of Africa, China, India, Hawaiian Islands, Philippine Islands, and South America have been the subjects of study. In order to establish a more personal contact, each member of the class has written let- ters to the various missionaries on the fields. Brother George Pepperdine has sent bulletins to aid in arousing interest, Brother Don Carlos Janet has sent pamphlets to be circulated, and a library shelf of thirty books, accumulated during the year, has been at our disposal. In addition to our study. a visit from Brother George Benson, missionary to South Grins. has inspired the class to continue its efforts to learn more of the fields where Christ has not gone. This year the class has been permitted only one meeting each week. In the years to game, it is the hope of the entire group to have a daily study of a similar nature conducted by one well acquainted with the foreign field. Foreign mission study has not been the only theme of our meetings. The churches :mund Morrilton have enjoyecl the help of young preachers in their Lordk Day worship. :5ome of the girls, too, have found joy in teaching Bible classes at different mission places. . This class of nineteen hundred and thirty-one has not accomplished marvelous things. be its purpose will have been fulfilled if it serves as a stepping stone for the classes of the ding years. Commercial Dcparlmcnl The Commercial Department has proved, not only this year but in previous years, to he one of the most pqular departments of the school. The immense increase of the department during the past two years, especially, has excelled even our dreams. This department has so advanced that credit is heing offered to college commercial stu- dents as well as to high school students. However, most students taking Business Adminis- tration are not merely interested in receiving credit for this work but in becoming better qualified for administrative positions in the business world. The tattle of typewriters and sound of pens let one know that there are many nimble fingers and quick thinking minds within the realms of this splendid department; and at a glance, we see the possibilities of many covered stenographets for there are blondes and brunettes of rare type. From previous successes of our young men and women in obtaining profitable positions, we know that there is a very bright future for anyone who graduates from this department.

COPELAND BENNY PACE GERTRUDE PACE Campus Players The Campus Players of Harding are pioneers in the dramatic work of the State. The organization is unique in its purposes and the value of its training to the members can hardly be overestimated. It is a real workshop. Under the htiiiiant direction of Mrs. Armstrong the Players learn everything required for complete dramatic perfurmances-faciai make-up, stage setting, handling of lights, painting scenery, designing and making Costumes, revising plays or writing new ones, and directing casts. As a group the players have accomplished some outstanding results. For the past three years they have given to Motriiton a Lyceum Course of five numbers each year. The num- bers this year consisted of Sun-np, Judge Lynch, Radio and revised version of The Ma. or and the Manirure, Sledding, Kempy, and Turn to the Right. The most disitnguished honor achieved by the group this year was the winning of the cup for the best woman actor in the State Little Theatre Tournament, February 9-12. This honor was awarded Addie D. Tankersiey who was featured in the leading role in Radio, supported by Lewis Foster and Allen Sudderth. Besides the major activity of the Lyceum, the Players this year have presented at their fortnightly meeting about fifteen one-act plays, all directed by advanced members of the group. Each cast with its director is made responsible for the complete performance- setting, costume, makevup, iighting effects and stage properties. There has been no finer experience in dramatic work. A unique accomplishment among the dramatic groups of the state was the presentation of an original three-act comedy by a member of the group itself. The Rani: Outsiders, by Mrs. Woodson H. Armstrong, was directed by Addie D. Tanketsley and Lillian Ardtey for its successful presentation in the fall. But another feature is being added this year which no dramatic group has yet undertaken. The Players are holding their own Little Theatre Tournament. Six three-act plays are being used. Mrs. Armstrong as general director has selected the casts, giving each play as nearly as possible equal talent. Over each cast is an advanced Player who will act as director for the group. Tournament week is set for May 18-23, when the contest plays will be given on successive nights and awards made for the best ptodHCtion and the best acting. The tremendous amount of work accomplished this year has been possible only because of the inspiring enthusiasm of the director, Mrs. Woodson H. Armstrong and the equal loyalty and enthusiasm of the group. There has been no stronger work in the State in dra- matic art, and the workshop of the Campus Players offers the finest opportunity for develop- ment in personality and effective speech. G. W.

Wt PACE Harding has always held an unusually high record in debate and the victories have always been well in excess of her defeats. - During the present year three teams entered thu- mid-wesmrn Lournnmcnt at Durant. january 30, 31. The men's learn, composed of Wade Ruby and Sidney Ruby. was one of four out of Fifty-m'ne teams to Hl'ljlh the preliminaries undefeated, and closed by losing to a home team in the Finals. The girl's team. campused uf Dorotha Majors and Ocrie Melton, lust onEy une debate in the preliminaries but lost in the finals to a home team. ' The most outstanding victory of the year was the winning of the annual forensic cup for girls debate Th the state tournament March 9-10 by Durntha Majors and Glenda Belle Snylors. In this tournament Idle menhs team composed of David Gardner and Ennis Poe, was the only team to finish the preliminaries gjtmdefeated, but last in the finals. According to the vote of the judges at this murnament, Dorotha Majors :Mdvcd the highest number 5F votes as state's best girl debater. It is one of the ironies of circumstance Whit the team composed of the Ruby brothers, who had been so successful at Durant, were eliminated in the preliminaries, but not until they had met and defeated the team that won the honors in the finals. During the invitation tournament at Arkadelphia Aprif 13-14 none of the teams reached the Bulls. Miss Majors was ill during the preliminaries and scarcely able to speak.

Harding has always recognized this fact and given prominence to the department. That Harding stresses the Music Department is shown by the fact that the teachers are the most thorough and competent that can be obtained. Under the direction of Exene Carolyn Benefieid the department has grown during the past year. New courses have been added and the music curriculum has become more closely connected with the regular college work than ever before. Perhaps most significant of the recent additions to the music courses is the class in Public School music. This class is of primary interest to prospective teachers. It helps them in planning school activities, in teaching children a better appreciation of music, and it gives to both prospective teacher and student a better understand- ing of Glee Club and Chorus work. In fact, it furnishes a good musical foundation on which to build. The Chorus, with a mambership of some forty colleges, high school and special students, has proved an interesting and worthwhile organization this year. Practices have been held on Monday and Thursday evenings. College credit is given For work in this branch of the department; this sen. :5 as an incentive to more regular attendance and a finer type of work. One student, Miss Pauline Gardner, is the only one to finish Certificate work in Piano this year. Miss Gardner is worthy of commendation for her splendid work.

At no time has Harding produced a football team of which she has more right to he proud than the Bisons of 1930. Thirtyvsix men reported to Coach Buck Arnold for practice. With hut seven of the past season's men back, Arnold, as he did the year before, faced the task of rebuilding a team; this he effectively did. Harding returned to the State Athletic Asso:iation and was represented by a team which upset the dope in nearly every game, mostly by sheer grit and hard uphili fight. The schedule consisted of nine hard battles. The Bisons won four games and lost five. October 3, Harding opened the season with the College of the Ozarks. The Moun- taineers found the Bisons a tough proposition but siipped across a touchdown via the air route in the last minutes of play to win 6 to 0. Harding's marvelous ticfensive power shone out and continued to shine throughout the season. In the second contest, Harding was again defeated, this time at the hands of Hemirix College. Harding scored first, and held the lead through the third quarter 7 to 6, but gave way in the final period when Hendrix pushed across another touchdown to take a hard fenght battle 12 to 7. The third game was lost to Ouachita 25 to 6. Sheer weight and experience proved too much for our boys; at last minute spurt gave Harding a touchdown on successive passes. The Bisons broke into the win column when they trounced the joneshoro College Braves 13 to 0. The Harding team proved its superiority in every phase of the game. The first home game marked another victory for Harding. El Dorado Junior College was decisively whipped 33 to 0. Reserves played the last quarter. Harding again won, this time at Little Rock when but two first downs were yielded to Little Rock Junior College while the Bisons were making eighteen, and five touchdowns to win easiiy 32 to 0. - Up against the toughest opposition of the season, the Bisons proved their fight by holding Magnolia A. and M. to three touchdowns. The Bisons withheld the onslaught of a much heavier eleven throughout the first half which ended 0 to 0. Weight and experience again proved to he superior and Harding lost 19 to 0. The boys played their best game of the season. In a return game with Ouachita, Harding proved to he a much improved team. Breaks iof the game; gave this one to Ouachita, but this time by only one touchdown. First downs were equal, but the Tigers completed a long pass to win 7 to 0. The season was closed at Hot Springs on November 25 with an easy victory over the Army and Navy Hospital eleven 26 to 0. Twenty-three Bisons saw service in the game. This game closed the gridiron careers of two seniors, Wade Ruby and Gary McKee. 9L4; SUMAMRY Oppunrnrs Ozarks Callcge mon-lctrcrmcm 6 Hendrix Col.

With last year's team back, and with the loss of only one guard, prospects were good for a fine season. It was apparent in every part of the season that there was a wealth of forward material and a lack of guards and no tall mm for the pivot position. Coach Dykes, in an attempt to capitalize the scoring ability of the numerous forwards, cle- cided m use the man to man game. As the season progressed, the wisdom of his decision became apparent. With the guards and for- wards all scoring, the problem was to keep the opponents score down. In the seventeen games played the team averaged thirty-nint points per game, ordinarily enough to win any! game; but at the same time i: was impossible to keep the storing of the opponents down. As a whole the season was a decided s cess; but with a stronger defense and a pivot man, the team could have been made in a grea I one. Playing against teams composed of six-f j ers, the team was severely handicaped; but w h they lacked in size they made up in fight real basketball ability. The scoring was well divided, with Merrick, forward, leading with one hundred and twenty-one points. Valen- tine, Irvin Berryhill, and Sidney Ruby all passed the one hundred mark. The ability of Ruby to get the tip from opposing forwards made him a valuable man in every game. At guard, Bradley, Wade Ruby, Dykes, EI- vin BerryhiH, and Mills, alternated. Coach Dykes was the fastest and handled the ball the best of any man on the team. His prest ence on the court inspired the entire team to better and faster playing. Erv'tn Bcrryhill, Clcek, Ruby, and Scott worked at center with Berryhill getting most of the assignments. Berryhill's work at cen- ter in the first game with the Teacher's Col- lege was one of the best individual perform- ances of the center. As Wade Ruby and Coach Dykes are tho: only men to be lost by graduation, Harding should have another winning team ncx: year. 2111:1055 of both of the men will bu: felt keenly. Wade is an all around athlete and scholar, While Coach Dykes is the best baskethall coach a ?Hatding has tVCl' had. 1 f BASEBALL Harding students and supporters of athletics have had particularly good reason for unusually enthusiastic anticipation of the baseball season this year. Nearly all the veterans of last sea son are back in their old positions. Coach Ar- nold, at every oportunity since last Septem ber, has been pushing the work he began the athletic field in the spring of '30; and ' Athletic Committee, inspired by the petfo --' ance of a team that played in every kind garb Iast year and by the determination , - persistence of Coach, has provided new forms for the boys. Among the Old'timers, Duncan and V:'-- hander, occupy the mound, with Bradley mi; ing. Sipp Ruby. Valentine, and Brownt' vide honors around second base and ' officiates in the outfield. These, with Betryhill at first base, Cleveland and Ruby the outfield-men who were not membctlri I last yeaths club, make an effective coin ??? tion. They play smooth, fast, defensiv; and know how to slug the old apple. Other recruits are Joe Poe tHansom't Caseyh Jones, very promising pitchers; - bets. catcher; Mills, who has ambition: another Buck ; Elvin Berryhill, Gardner, and Tucker, outfield men; and Tom Irving, who limits activities, respectively, to demon- strations, suggestions, and criticism, in, about, and upon the various positions. proper per- formances, and weak personnel of the club. The schedule for this spring includes some two dozen games with college and professional teams. To date, four of these games have been played, two with Arkansas Tech, Russell- ville, with scores of 13-1 and 6-1 in favor of Harding, and two with Arkansas State Teach- ers, Conway, the first a defeat, the second a victory for the Bisons. In these games Von, Duncan, and Hunter each had a chance and all did nice pitching. Von tossed the first game with Tech, hoiding them to a single run. In the next game Duncan took the mound, strik- ing out fifteen men and allowing only two Ehits. Hunter proved that he had something up his sieeve when, in the second game with the T eathers, his first try of the year, he struck ten men, permitted only five hits, and ugh: the Bisons through with a 3-2 victory Next year, all the present herd, with the igm-d- of Wade Ruby, who iinishes this im will be with us again. With the outlook Aflvorahic for this season, it is safe to proph- '- that 1932 will bring to us unprecedented u'u'on in this most popular branch of TENNlS Of all the sports taken part in by Harding students. tennis attracts the greatest number of followers. Played whenever weather conditions permit. in the fall, winter. and spring, this sport furnishes a source of recreation for more students than any other activity. With the completion of another court. there are now three good courts avail- able for play. This will help meet the great demand for courts which always prevails in the fall and spring. Each spring, a tennis team represents Harding College in the State Inter- Collegiate Tournament. While a Harding team has never won this meet, a good showing has frequently been made. This year prospects are exceptionally bright for a winning team. Lowery, Dykes, Blake and Valentine are looking best at present. Matches will be scheduled with other colleges in ptemratticn.l for the State Tournament. This year the Harding Academy is represented by a tennis team. With Toppy McReynolds, Ftanlt Rhodes, and Farris Coleman continuing to improve, it is expected that many victories will he won before the end of the year. This team has already met and defeated Russellville High School. For the first time in the history of the school, Harding College is represented by a girls tennis team. Matches will he scheduled with other colleges if pos- sible. While not as much interest as desired has been shown by the girls, it is believed that a good team will he developed. Glen Rose McGregut and Elizabeth Harding are certain of places on the team. With more practice, they will he a splendid combination. 4 ng. zzatlons O Q'rgcm S Trailmakcr It is no wonder there should he a club of lovers of the out-ofdoors in this school when there is such an out-of-doors as ours to love.
