XJsSkLi Foreword If in glancing through our book, you recall to mind some of the events of the school year, its associa- tions and activities, if you are made to feel anew something of the spirit of Harding . . the spirit of sacrifice and service . . . we, the staff of the 1938 Petit Jean, truly feel that our effort has been worth while. i . M ' Th e m e Our church colleges of today have but one funda- mental purpose for existing as such . . to maintain and further develop the ideals of Christianity. With this thought m mind we have chosen in our theme to acquaint you with a few of the leaders in the Christian college movement in the hope that their lives of service will prompt all to a greater sense of appreciation for the movement and perhaps aid in it. Dedication To those men who by virtue of their courags and devotion to God reproclaimed the New Testament church, those men who lived for God ' s word and died for it, the pioneers of the reformation move- ment in America, we, the Senior Class of 1938, do humbly and respectfully dedicate this annual. ORDER of the BOOKS... THE COLLEGE CLASSES FEATURES ACTIVITIES ORGANIZATIONS ADVERTISEMENTS Historical Sketch of Hording College Hording College as the flowering out of tfie spirit and dream of its great founder, James A. Harding, had the foundotion laid for its beginning when the nucleus of its present faculty came together many years ago in the Potter Bible College, Bowling Green, Kentucky. James A Harding become the first president of this institution and here he had ossocioted with him his daughter Woodson Harding, and her husband, J- N- Armstrong, and the loyal co-workers through the following years, B. F. Rhodes, S. A. Bell, and R. N, Gardner, all of whom are with the present institution. This group of loyal friends, however, in 1905 moved their work farther west to Odessa, Missouri, and established there the Western Bible and Literary College with J. N Armstrong as Its first president. Students of this institution are counted among the alumni of Harding College and many of the children of these students are now enrolled in the present institution Because of ill health President Armstrong resigned after two years and went West, but in 1908 accepted the presidency of Cordell Christian College, Cordell, Oklahoma. The next year others of the old faculty |Oined him until practically the entire group were together again with others added. Until this time no emphasis had been given to securing affiliation with the universities or accrediting agencies, but during the ten years in which the school operated at Cordell it secured recognition for three years of college work and was the first Christian college to receive better than junior standing. During the dark doys of the war in 19IS, it was decided to close the institution tem- porarily but almost immediately an invitation was received to combine the work with the recently established Harper College at Harper, Kansas. This was done, and the work was carried on at Harper until 192-1, when the institution was consolidated with Arkansas Christian College of Mornlton, Arkansas In this consolidation the name was changed, in honor of the original founder, to Harding College. Through these years the institution has been carried on in inadequate buildings, but even under these handicaps it had grown in prestige ond hod secured recognition as a standard senior college. In 1938 come the opportunity to secure an entire college plant with adequate buildings and excellent equipment located at Seorcy, Arkansas, and the Board of Trustees immediotely moved the institution to its present location. While Hording College has hod a varied history since its beginnings, with each change it has grown in power and influence, until it now possesses a college plant of which it can be justly proud, and which for the first time gives it permanence. ALEXANDER CAMPBELL Campbell was born in County Antrim, Ireland, Leader in organizing the Disciples of Christ, based on the doctrine that the Bible should be the only creed. Founded Bethany College, Bethany, West Virginia, and was president until his death. Widely known for his preaching and debates.

' PETIT JEAN SENIOR MESSAGE As the graduating class of 1938, we feel a four-fold obligation or sense of grotitude for those who have helped us in whatever we may have accom- plished while here at Harding or hope to accomplish in the future as a result of our stay here. First of all, we are grateful to our parents who made it possible for us to attend college. It was only through their foresight and willingness to sacrifice that we were able to attend Harding at all. Secondly, we are grateful to the faculty and administration for their guiding and ever-helpful spirit in setting forth to us those high ideals that ore characteristic of the school. Third, we are appreciative of Harding ' s alumni and other friends who by their support and encouragement throughout the years, have indeed kept the school alive and on an ever upward trend. And last of all we are appreciative of the undergraduate students of Harding with whom we have been associated during the past year We hope that they have enjoyed this acquaintance as much as we have. It is our sincere desire that they may continue their schooling at Harding and eventually fit themselves in life for that place wherein they may most effec- tively serve their fellowman. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN Alma Mater In the foothills of the Ozarks, Near to Petit Jean, Stands our glorious Alma Mater, Harding is her name. Sing the chorus ' Shout it loudly! Echoing through the vale; Hail to thee, beloved Harding! Alma Mater, hail ' Christian standard is her motto; Christian life is stressed; And in every branch of learning Each one does his best. Harding opens wide her portals, Thus inviting all Who would tread the path of Knowledge; Heed then to her call. —FLORENCE M CATHCART 19 3 8 JUNIORS a- r ' v . fK f . 4 •39 •-■- ' i V • ' ' u A :,i ;j • ' ' ' fi ' - ' ' JAMES McDANIEL President --A- R.

CEDAR FALLS— PETIT JEAN Legend of Petit Jean One of the legends about Petit Jean Mountain is to the effect that the valiant French explorer Cheves was lured by stories to the unexplored country of America. Though deeply in love with his fiancee, Adrienne, wavering ' twixt love and desire for adventure, he determined at last to soil to the distant land. When Adrienne heard of his decision, she made up her mind, unknown to her lover, that she would also go to the new land. Disguised as a cabin boy, she secured passage under the nome of Jean on the same ship on which Cheves sailed. Because of her small stature, the sailors called her Petit Jean. Reaching the mouth of the Mississippi, they sailed up that river to the Arkansas, and landed at the foot of a mountain, where they found the Indians friendly, the country beautiful, and the climate delightful. It was so much like fairyland that Cheves ordered his crew to go no farther, and a settlement was thus mode in what is now Arkansas. The Indians adored Petit Jean, and regarded her as a being from another world. They brought her offerings of fruits and flowers, and strove in every way to express their love Still ignorant of her identity, Cheves announced one day that he proposed to return to France, to bring his fiancee to the new land. Petit Jean fell seriously ill, and the news of his departure made her worse. Fearing that she would not recover, she called Cheves to her side and disclosed her identity. His grief and woe were indescribable. Broken-hearted, he nursed her, but she expired in his arms, and, in accordance with his request, was buned in a beautiful spot on top of the mountain which was given her name. The Indians used to say that her spirit guarded the grave. They saw her among the tree tops swaying in the breeze; they saw her rowing on the river in her canoe; they sow her wandering goily in the forest, and ever shedding a blessing over the mountain called Petit Jean A G FREED Freed was outstanding as a debater and as a Christian educator and gentleman. He and N. B. Hardemann, a former pupil, founded the college that now bears their names and Freed was its first president. He was one of the best school men the church has ever hod in modern times. Courtesy, kindness, and cleanliness were his three outstanding characteristics. Book IV ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS PETIT JEAN M E BERRYHILL COACH AND ATHLETIC DIRECTOR M E. Pinky Berryhill, athletic director and coach, assumed duties last fall as the first faculty coach ever engaged by Harding College. Berryhill, an alumnus of Harding, graduated m the spring of ' 33. This year he proved to be c man of action from the start, and his program of intra-mural and inter-collegiate athletics was the most exten- sive one known thus far to the college His busmess-like but friendly attitude won the confidence of the student body which he retained throughout the year. It was through his efforts that the track and ball park were constructed and the revival of interest for athletics in general came about. Although facing various difficulties during his first year of service, Coach Berryhill proved a successful leader for both intra-mural and inter-collegiate sports. ! 9 3 8 PETIT JEAN BACK ROW— Captain Vaughn, Ehl, Copeland, Dewberry, R. Roe, Pryor, and Coach Berryhill. FRONT ROW— Manager Rice, Watts, E Roe, Vann, Captain Johnson, ond Bell Although winner of only five games out of a sixteen-game schedule, the Bisons outscored their opponents for the entire season by five points. The majority of their losses were by only two and four points. Opening their season with the brightest prospects in several years, the team ' s morale was seriously injured by the loss of Captain Vaughn and Curtis Peters because of illness on the afternoon before the first game. Peters withdrew from school and Vaughn was forbidden by his physician to participate in any form of athletics for the year.

He was a good defensive center this year and was very steady and dependable. Dewberry played no basketball during his high school years and it was not until his Sophomore year in college that he reported for practice. Although he did not letter in his first year of college basketball, he earned a place on the squad This year he played in all sixteen gomes played by the Bisons. ROBERT VANN Vann, a Senior, is a two-year letter man for the Bisons and also a two-year letter mon for David Lipscomb College from which school he transferred in the fall of ' 36. In the school year of ' 36- ' 37, Vann was chosen best athlete at David Lipscomb. During his two years ' service at Hording, he was brilliant on defense and was an excellent passer In ' 35- ' 36 as student coach of the Bisons, his team hod a fine record ALF JOHNSON Johnson, a Senior, captain in ' 38 and four-year letter men, was on excellent ball handler and filled his position as guard well during his entire stay at Harding. He has the distinc- tion of being the only man in the ' 38 graduating class to have played and lettered four years at Harding He was always cool headed on the court in ony situation. He was a good court general and his ability to keep the team together characterized him as a good leader for his team-mates. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN ORDIS COPELAND Copeland, a Freshmon, entering at the opening of the second quorter, wos immediately spotted as a promising, fast-moving player. After only two weeks in Harding, he was raised from the Reserve SqLiad to the A Squad. His lack of smoothness became iess pronounced as the season progressed and he came to be looked on as a brilliant forward prospect. ROY ROE Roy, a Sophomore two-year ie ' ter man alternated between guard and forward and probably showed more improvement than any other man on the squad for the current season. Roy calmed down from an easily excitable player during the ' 37 season to a level-headed and hard-fighting ball player. Although a noteworthy defense man, he was one of the chief scoring threats on the team. CLYDE WATTS Watts, Sophomore scoring ace, was easily the Bison ' s best man in offensive play and received honorable mention as forward for All-State. Although known for breaking from the corner for short shots. Watts made shots, almost ingenious at times, from all positions His scoring record is one of the best in the State this year. ELWIN ROE Preacher, a Sophomore guard and two-year letter man, developed into a truly fine player in ' 38 and was chosen as captain for the ' 39 season. Roe received honorable mention OS guord for the All-State team this year. He was good in both defense and offense and was the best all ' round player on the Bison squad. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN f:i D. ■ a hS fkEDI .KRD Bill, a Freshman, was o four-year letter man for the Academy previous to his enrollment m college and this year, he showed promise of developing into a good offensive man. First reporting for practice with the Reserve Squad, he received a promotion to the Varsity in the early part of the second quarter. L. E PRYOR Pryor was the only freshmen to gain a position on the Vorsity Squad at the first of the year. He served as a substitute center. Before entering college, Pryor lettered two years on the Academy team. He is considered excellent material for o prospective center for the Bisons. L W, HOUSE L. W., a Sophomore transfer from Oklahoma A. M. participated in his first college athletics this year of Harding. House started the season as a member of the Reserve Squad but was promoted to the Varsity shortly after the season began. He was forced to quit the squad due to an operation, but is regarded as on excellent prospect for next year. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN BACK ROW— Lashlee, Spencer, Coach Berryhill, Gurganus, and Hopper FRONT ROW— Mock, Wolfon, and Whitson, RESERVE BASKETBALL With twenty-five men reporting for basketball at the opening of the season. Coach Berryhill divided the group and established the first Reserve Squad in the school ' s history. Although no games away from home were scheduled for the new team, they reported for regular practice and frequently scrimmaged the Varsity Squad and played practice games with the Academy team. The Reserve Squad, composed mostly of Freshmen, proved to be a great asset in furnishing new material for the Varsity section several times during the season. Besides this, it promoted interest and enthusiasm in basketball for o greater number of students and offered an oppor- tunity to all aspirants for development into Varsity men. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN 5 STANDING — Coach Trent, Ladra, Blansett, Porter, Craven, Gillinghom, Dykes, and Manager Bomar SEATED— Hogan, Davis, and Bell. ACADEMY BASKETBALL Because of inadequate time to use the gymnasium, Academy basketball was considered impossible, but at the beginning of the cage season, the demand increased and with the opening of the second quarter, the Bisonettes were organized, Glenn Trent, a Junior in college and a three-year letter man for the Varsity, was secured for coach, D, V, Craven was chosen captain and Jock Bomar, college Sophomore, was elected manager. With twelve men reporting, the Bisonettes did most of their practice from six to seven A, M, to avoid conflicts with other groups in the gymnasium. In their short season, eight games were played and although the Bisonettes won only two of these, their record was excellent when one considers the difficulties under which they worked. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN f t BACK ROW— Berryhill, coach, R. Roe, Bell, Vann, E, Roe, Bartley, Batterton, Rice, manager FRONT ROW— Smith, Watts, captain, Huffaker, Walton, Landrum, Whitson, Miller. BASEBALL With five letter men back and some excellent new material reporting, baseball was again classified as Harding ' s most outstanding sport. The team, built around Elwin Roe, sensational pitcher who received nation-wide publicity, and the other four letter men. Captain Clyde Watts, Roy Roe, Norman Smith, and Robert Vann, continued to increase Harding ' s reputation in its baseball accomplishments At the opening of the seoson, fourteen mien reported for practice, but several new players entered school and greatly strengthened the team. With greater interest added by the ball park ' s completion at the opening of the season, not only Harding, but the town of Seorcy, became fervent rooters for the Bisons. General interest and enthusiasm for baseball was pushed to a new high throughout the season. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN BACK ROW- i ,. . q lylh f ' - ' - ' -r - ' ' • ' : - - Pryor, Hinds, Copeland, House. jt f ' w ■ -• ■ ' - V j MIDDLE ROW — fy L . ■..

X Entering Harding ' s athletic program only three years ago, track has probably made greater strides thon any other sport at Harding. Under the direction of Coach Berryhill, who was assisted by R. T. Clark, o |unior, three meets were scheduled for the thin clods. Two of these were dual meets and Hording wos the host on the new track built this spring The first meet was with Arkansas Tech and the second was with Arkansas College, The lost meet of the seoson was the annual State Track Meet which was held at Arkansas Tech, Five letter men, Clark, Greenwoy, Hogon, H. Rhodes, and Thornton returned this year and nine new men reported. Clark, Hogan, and Adams proved to be outstanding for the season. Although exceptionally strong in several divisions ond taking more firsts than ever before, weakness in the field events prevented the team from being a well rounded one, copable of winning meets. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN BACK ROW — Mason, Spencer, Lauterbach. MIDDLE ROW - Chatfin, Bartley, Earwood, FRONT ROW - Dykes, Whitson, Walton. Herman West, Coach, kneeling. WRESTLING Herman West, Sophomore, served as a wrestling instructor for the fifteen men who reported at the beginning of the second term for this sport. He entered Harding in the fall of ' 36 and received his training under J. D, Bales. In the State A. A U. meet which was held in Little Rock, he was champion of the light heavyweight division. This year. West, who was the only letter man in this sport to return, mode arrangements for entrance in two wrestling meets. However, because of a change made m the date for the State A. A. U. meet he was forced to cancel both of these and concentrate on preparing for the State meet. West proved to be a good cooch and under his direction, Harding entered six divisions of the onnuol State A. A. U. tournament. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN Clyde Watts Alfred Johnson R-JL-Clark, Roy Roe Robert Vann Normon Sm, J. H. Rice Julian Dewbei th H.

In the spring of ' 37, the club printed as an experiment, a twenty-four page anthology of under- graduate verse. This smoll volume was well received by the student body and the club decided to make this publication on annual project. This year the volume was increased in size by twelve pages. It received favorable mention from several critics and some of the poetry in the volume was accepted by the University Post Publishing Company of North Carolina and appeared in an all southern anthology of poetry published by that company. The Club has decided that oil alumni may remain active contributors to the annual anthology and by this means the Club hopes to be able to publish on improved and larger volume each year. 19 3 8 PETIT JEAN ALPHA HONOR SOCIETY Ama Lou Murphree, Mrs Neil B.
