E. Pinky BERRYHILL this 1954 PETIT JEAN is respectfully dedicated. MURIL ERVIN BERRYHILL was born May 4, 1911, at Rochester, Texas. After graduating from the Knox City (Texas) High School and working for two years, he entered Harding College and received the B.A. degree in history in 1934. He was an outstand- ing athlete during his college days and was president of his class for the last three years. His graduate training was received in George Peabody College, Nashville, Tennessee. In 1937 he was granted the M.A. degree in history and that fall he returned to his Alma Mater as coach and history teacher. By 1942, when his education and work with Harding College was interrupted by World War II, he had almost completed requirements for the Ph.D. degree in physical education. During 1942-44 he was a civilian instructor in the United States Army Air Corps and during 1944-46 he served in the United States Navy. Since Septem- K . 1 Pjrofessor 6PPhy cal Educa- irman of the Department at B Fyhill is a deacon in the College church of ' Christ. He assisted in the organization of Camp Wyldewood and has served on its Board of Directors. He is founder and director of the Little Major Leaguers in Searcy. He holds membership in both the state and national Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation and in the College Physical Education Association. He is a member of Pi Gamma Mu, Phi Delta Kappa and Kappa Phi Kappa. In August following his graduation from col- lege in 1934 Pinky married his college sweetheart and classmate — Rheba Stout of Russellville, Ala- bama. The Berryhills have four children — Donnie, Nita Jean, Dickie and David. tUjCi c jP £U-ouv ?5 FOREWORD... Je There are very few real memories of a college year that can be photographed and printed on the pages of a yearbook. Pictures of chapel, meal lines, and club functions are taken, but they become worthwhile only because of the small but important events they recall — the ideas you gained in chapel, the friends you met in meal lines, and the shocked moment when you fell into a cold creek on a club outing. You, as an individual, will have to fill in these pages with remembrances of your part of the 1953-54 year at Harding. Some things you have learned — some things you have forgotten — and it is the purpose of this book to try and record for future enjoyment perhaps the most eventful year of your life. Hoping this meeting of ideas with printer ' s ink and paper has in some measure accomplished its purpose, we present this 1954 PETIT JEAN to the student body for whom it was created. p: i4idi !- fl fei P r ' TTT Mrs.Florencc M.CaWicart- Qima T7late Dedicated to tho « who love H4irdin College lloyd O.

' J ' ■ ' ' r J u ' ' -a u, ' ■ADMINISTRATION-AUDITORIUM BUILDING THE CAMPUS... This year marks a special year for Harding College. In terms of years — it is the thirtieth year this institution has existed under that name, since the merger of Arkansas Christian College and Harper College at Morrilton, Arkansas, in 1924, and it is also the twentieth year for it to be located on the present site, having moved to Searcy in 1934. Since that time succeeding classes have seen the campus take on a completely new appearance. Perhaps more than any other, the new Administration Building with its modern, attractive auditoriums, offices, and classrooms is symbolic of the changes we, the class of ' 54, have seen on the Harding campus. When we arrived as Freshmen, Godden Hall, despite the fact that it appeared ready to collapse, was the center of campus activi- ties. Here we went to chapel, which was divided into two sections because seating was inadequate; we waited eagerly for the mail here; and here many of us received our introduction to dormitory life. When we returned for our sophomore year, all that remained of Godden was a huge pile of dirt; this year we walked to the College church each day for chapel; we went to plays in the Academy ' s audi- torium — and we looked forward to the day when the new Ad Building would be completed. By the time our Junior year began, the new campus was complete except for the American Studies Building, the Bell Tower, and a few relatively minor details such as sidewalks. Today the Bell Tower, erected with material from ' Godden Hall and containing the bell once housed in Godden, exists as a memorial of the campus of the past. . . . But serving as a stronger link with the past is the spirit of Harding which has not changed .

Though seldom seen on our campus and little known by students, the board of trustees are men devoted to the precepts of Christianity who contribute liberally of their time , energy, and ideas to assure the efficient administra- tion of the college. It is through the interest of these busy men in our college that policies and principles are de- termined and Harding continues to make progress as an institution of Christian education. 17 •THE ADMINISTRATION . . . GEORGE STUART BENSON, M.A., LL.D., President of O ' Banion. the College and secretary, Marguerite WITH the growth of a college the responsibility of the administrators increases many fold and especially that of the executive. For this reason. Dr. Benson has added to his staff of executive assistants capable men who will provide the energy and leadership he has shown these many years in service to the college. Working with them are the other indespensible members of the team who are both guides and friends to those who will know them. jt ' ' « v rf - LLOYD CLINE SEARS, Ph.D., Professor of English and Chairman of the Department of English and Humanities; Dean of the College.

O l ' 23 From many countries and races come Students to enroll in th e CLASSES AND KEPT US EVAN ULREY ' S speech discussion class met in- formally in the library seminar room. AT THE BEGINNING of the school year the stu- dent body may be roughly divided into two large groups — those who ' ve been here before and those who haven ' t; expressed more tangibly — those who know there is a glass partition in the library and those who must learn by the school of hard knocks. However, before many weeks have passed order has emerged from chaos and five classes have appeared. JIM TUTTLETON raises a question in Robert Meyer ' s poetry class. DEAN SEARS traces the course of the Canterbury Pilgrimage. 26 f i ' : ■■ 7 7V t- x...«  _ ' V«- 4 STUDENT LABOR BUSY . . . STUDENT WORKERS serve the meal lines — this time a spaghetti supper . Xi - v foL-J [Z ) ALSO AT THE beginning of each year, students who i 9 need financial assistance arrange with the work co- ' ordinator for jobs. After standing in lines for hours • ' iy - ' ' • and fining out many forms, jobs are assigned in the dining hall, student center, laundry, the block plant, Jl and on the campus grounds. All agree that working D jMLv ' ' ' while attending college helps them to develop into ma- (f - - l ture individuals — and incidentally, they still have ff. g 4. ' time for fun.

THE FRESHMEN IT COULD have been due to an exceptional crop of ne ' students, or perhaps to a new wave of enthusiasm that per- meated campus activities this year, but whatever the cause, the Freshman Class proved one of the most progressive and promising classes to enter Harding of recent years. No sooner had the flurry of registration week subsided than a new rush was on, this time to elect Freshman class officers. Banners appeared over night proclaiming Hayes for Presi- dent and What We Need is Rain and Richardson! Evi- dently this timely appeal proved good psychology because, as predicted, this new class found capable leadership in Dick Richardson, and he in turn found his way to the fish pond with the aid of cheerful supporters. Their Committee of Recommendations and Suggestions to the Student Council made thirty suggestions during the year and received recognition in Chapel, the Bison, and from the Student Council. Flowers and get-well cards cheered a large number of classmates, and new freshmen received letters of welcome at the second semester and were honored by a reception party in- the Emerald Room. Big events in- cluded a Hobo Party and spring outing for the class and as a reminder of their interest in Harding, they contributed a gift everyone could enjoy. 0 - Jack Wood Sears, Class Sponsor j ' l A , 28 FRESHMEN WARREN WONG ACHUCK Hong Kong, Chirm YONG KEE AHN Seoul, Korea CECIL ALEXANDER Dearborn, Mich.

REJOICING that they were no longer green freshmen, one hundred forty-seven sophomores vigorously began the year ' s activties. The first class meeting resulted in the election of Winfred Wright as president, C. L. Cox as vice-president, and Betty Nossaman as secretary-treasurer. Jeanne Bankston was chosen representative to the Student Association. Since busy schedules ruined the plans for a fall party, the outing at Camp Tahkodah on April 12 was really a big event. Providing transportation were: Tommie Potter, Harry Boggs, class sponsor Bob Meyers, and Jim Smith who took fifteen in the back of his pick-up truck. At Tahkodah the group enjoyed hiking, playing softball and football, and eating the food prepared by Jane Claxton and Jo- ann Hartman, also, unforgettable are such mo- ments as that when Ralph Odom gracefully fell into the water or that when Harry discovered a flat tire. The class project for the year was purchasing a phonograph and assorted records for the dining hall.

Cliff Ganus, Class Sponsor DESPITE the weather, the Junior-Senior Banquet was not all wet. However, one might say it was rather green — but that was to be expected on the day following St. Patrick ' s Day — especially when the program plainly read An Irish Holiday and Ken O ' Noland, Master of Ceremonies. In- cluded on the evening ' s agenda was the address by Dean Sears, Charles Pittman ' s squish, squish reading of the Senior class history, Jane Sutherlin reading the Junior com- position — the Senior prophesy, Norman Hughes announcihg the Senior will, and several Irish numbers sung rather un- convincingly by the Junior quartet. And then there were the problems of place cards and suitable dinner music, but all was well as it ended well. Naturally the banquet was the Big Event of the year for the Juniors, but tliey did have fall outing — on the Monday the drought was broken. Not to be bothered by a little thing like rain, the class mere- ly changed the outing site from Latona to Wyldewood. Here everyone, including the girls, played football, not to mention the usual hiking, Softball games, and eating. It was won- derful to see how Cliff Ganus, the class sponsor for the second year, fitted in with these activities — especially the latter one named. And by afternoon the sky cleared and the class probably went on record as the first to enjoy two outing sites in one day, driving to Latona for further mountain climbing — and eating. As school closed this year, the members of the Junior Class often found themselves thinking, Next year, we ' ll be the Seniors; we ' ll be the ones who receive privileges, who are given banquets . . . and who will leave with tears in our eyes. 45 JUNIORS LEROY ALEXANDER Morrilton.

Joe Pryor, Class Sponsor CLASS MEETINGS began early in the year with the election of Owen D. to pilot the Class of ' 54 through the most im- portant year of college. And it didn ' t take long to begin class functions. A fall outing was held at Latona on October 19, that is, after they all got together. Seems some took the long way going instead of coming. The day turned out to be a birthday celebration with three classmates blowing out the candles on a surprise cake. Freedom Forum and Pledge ' Week left little time for class functions, but in early November class members again got together at the Ford Foundation banquet in the Emerald Room for a delicious meal. Lack of more functions until mid-March proved that the last year of college is the busiest, but despite a sudden change to cold weather, the Lodge at Camp Wyldewood pro- vided shelter for thirty hungry Seniors on their second out- ing. The fun of that evening was continued the next week at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and all will remember the memories the class history recalled. The class of ' 54 is the transition class at Harding. There are recollections of the old campus centered around Godden, the building years, and the new beauty of the campus. Being the smallest graduating class in several years was a little hard to accept at first, but the compensation of graduating from a fully accredited institution will be more appreciated in future years. Marv Ann LAST YEAR the Regina social club instituted an award to the senior who most nearly typified the spirit of Harding College. This year the senior class has chosen GRACE McREYNOLDS as the person who throughout her four years at Harding has shown that spirit of excellence and service, tempered with humility, which characterizes the Harding spirit. For her cheerful willingness to serve others and her humble and modest attitude in doing so, the 1954 Senior Class honors Gracie. JUNE ADAMS Carryville, Ark.

The work is divided into four fields — Biblical, Historical, Doctrinal and Practical. Fifteen students were awarded the M.A. degree in Bible at the end of the first year. During the second year more than thirty students have been enrolled in graduate work.

CHRIST OUR GOAL... IN OUR world that we know here at Harding, per- haps we have the greatest opportunity we ' ll ever have for spiritual growth. This is a place where the dreams of young Christians are filled in a greater service to himself, to humanity, and to God. Daily chapel devotions cause us to pause from our busy lives to tiu-n our thoughts to God, to renew our purposes and ideals of living. Our Bible lessons everyday help to keep our eyes on that steadfast light that sometimes may grow dim, but glows forth more brightly as the fleeting days of Harding life go by. Then our teachers, vyho seem to know the uneven pathway before us, who live Christianity everyday, who have intense in- terest and tireless energy, show students what a love for Christ can really mean. These are the things that draw people to Har- ding. It ' s not the fine buildings or location but the over all atmosphere that dominates our sports, acti- vities and classes. Services such as Monday night meeting have made many decide to dedicate their lives for greater service in the Lord ' s work. 70 THERE WAS A RELIGIOUS INTEREST FOR ALL . . . OF THE MANY opportunities in which students could practice their Christian ideals, the COUNTY FARM offered one of the most rewarding. Each Sunday afternoon a group of students visited the elderly residents at the farm and enabled them to hear a lesson from th e Bible as well as hymns sung in a scriptual manner. The traditional MONDAY NIGHT MEET- INGS, in which the Christian attitude toward the problems of everyday life was discussed, proved well worth an hour of time to all who attended. A new group, the MISSION STUDY CLASS, was conducted early each Wednesday evening at the College Church. It provided insight into the problems of evangelistic work in both America and foreign countries. The SIGN LANGUAGE CLASS continued to be of interest to a number of students. The pur- pose of the class is to make it possible for its mem- bers to teach Christianity to the deaf. A quiet pause to commune with God, whether in the middle or at the close of the day, served to renew devotion to Him and love for human asso- ciates. VESPERS brought serenity to close the day ' s activities. THE WEATHER wasn ' t always so enjoyable on the walk to the County Farm. MONDAY NIGHT MEETINGS were well planned and attended. BROTHER CANNON had charge of the Mission Study Class. BOB ANDERSON had some apt pupils in the Sign Language Class. VESPERS ended the day with a feeling of close- ness to God. - ROW ONE: Joe Cannon, Glenn Olbricht, Wil GoodheerfKeith Stotts, George Gurganus, Bob Coburn, ! .. flTBrown, Mamsi Takata.

STUDENT PREACHERS . . . . . . woe is me, if I preach not the gospel! APPROXIMATELY 150 young men at Harding feel as the apostle Paul did concerning their debt to those who do not know of the Savior. These young Christians have the zeal of youth coupled with the inspiration of great Godly teachers in the graduate and undergraduate levels of work. This combination gives many small Arkansas churches the opportunity to have preaching each Sunday and gives the students opportunity to preach regu- larly. In addition to the regular instruction in clas- ses, the students preachers have many opportun- ities to speak on the campus — in the dining hall services, at vespers, at the county farm, at Monday night meeting, and at the preacher ' s meeting each Saturday night. The student preachers probably do more to spread the spirit of Harding to nearby communities than any other single group on the campus. Their willingness to leave at the crack of dawn (even earlier in some cases) and drive a great many miles, often at a financial loss, is a real demonstra- tion of the Christian spirit. GLENN BURGESS preached for the West Point congregation. AND Virgil Weare led the song service. VISITING WOMEN renewed friendships over tea. THE LECTURESHIP . . . THE SIXTEENTH through the nineteenth of No- vember marked Harding ' s thirtieth annual lec- tureship. It was one of the largest in the history of the college as over five hundred visitors daily filled the large auditorium and over fifteen hun- dred attended the closing address. These visitors came from twenty states, Africa and Canada. For- ty-five ministers were on the four day program speaking on the theme of Biblical Prophecy. A high point of the lectureship was the annual prea- cher ' s dinner at the Rendezvous; the speaker was Homer P. Reeves, Dallas, Texas. With the help of the Southwestern Christian College from Terrill, Texas, Marshall Keeble climaxed and concluded the lectureship. Dr. W. B. West, head of the Har- ding Bible Department was in charge of the plan- ining and was instrumental in promoting the suc- cess of the 1953 lectureship series. MALE ALUMNI preferred coffee.

THE HARDING CHORALE, remembered by most as the large chorus, met on Tuesday and Friday nights throughout the year. The group, under the direction of Prof. Kenneth Davis, provided an in- spiring program of hymns during the lectureships. In May, they made a three day trip, singing in sev- eral towns in Arkansas and Missouri. All mem- bers of the group have enjoyed the fellowship and informal nature of the rehearsals.

This year ' s activities had included an appearance on the Herald of Truth broadcast heard from Neosho. Missouri; a ten-day tour through Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas; a five day trip that included Arkan- AUNT RENA — most unforgettable member f the chorus trip s. sas and Missouri. Also on the agenda, were many week-end trips, several chapel programs, and a lectureship program. In addition, a weekly radio program Hymns From Harding, was recorded on the campus. This program is now heard on forty-five stations throughout the country. The groups, under the direction of Kenneth Davis, Jr., practiced from one to two five afternoons each week.

CAMPUS PLAYERS APPRENTICES ALPHA PSI OMEGA is a national honorary dra- matic fraternity which seeks to recognize outstand- ing work in college dramatics. Harding ' s cast is the Eta Omega Cast of Alpha Psi Omega. To be eligible one must have shown unusual ability and interest and, as a further requirement, must have directed a one act play. The cast has recently set a precedent of presenting one major production each year in which, when possible, only members of Alpha Psi Omega participate. This year ' s pre- sentation was Menotti ' s The Medium, staring Marian Rawlings, Pat Howe, and Meredith Thom. In collaboration with Campus Players they pre- sent, each year, a silver key to the best actor, the best actress, the best character actor, the best char- acter actress, the best backstage worker, and the best director of one act plays. One act plays were numerous and varied this year, providing new students inte rested in drama- tics with the experience needed for larger produc- tions. Campus Player productions of the year in- cluded two English plays, Mr. Pirn Passes By and The Importance of Being Earnest by A. A. Milne, and Beyond the Horizon by the Ameri- can playwright, Eugene O ' Neill. MR. PIM queitly passed by, dropping the equiva lent of a bombshell in a sedate British home. CALIGULA, the half crazy and wholly cruel Ro- man emperor in The Robe, was convincingly por- trayed by Meredith Thom. J 79 o.

Later Duane McCampbell and Edsel Hughes, accompanied by Evan Ulrey, debated at Henderson State Teachers College in Arkadelphia. The climax of the year ' s activity was the Arkansas State Debate Tourney to which Harding was host. Here Duane McCampbell won the oratori- cal contest, and with the aid of Edsel Hughes reached the finals. The SPEECH Clinic is a workshop for correcting speech defects such as substitution of sounds and stuttering. College students taking this class worked A meeting of the POETRY FORUM brings together Lolita Williams, Polly Williams, Owen Olbricht, Gail Shoptaw, Mary Burton, and Lehman Hall. with the clients in the clinic on the average of three hours a week. The POETRY CLUB is composed of those who are interested in writing poetry. In the regular Tues- day night meetings members of the club presented and critized each other ' s poetry. A further activity this year was a chapel program exhibiting several of their poems enhanced by pantomines. Polly Williams was the club sponsor.

The first big project of the year was the Mock Security Council Program. The subject under dis- cussion was the Korean peace conference. The script for the program was written by Dr. Kenney. IRC members put away their school books when they represented Harding in the second Mid- South Model United Nations at David Lipscomb College on February twenty-fifth. Competing with fifteen other colleges and universities, our dele- gates made outstanding contributions. Gene Rainey and Dick Richardson appeared on TV and radio programs respectively. Harding sent a reso- lution commending Lipscomb on her courage and hard work involved in the planning of the Model United Nations. Harding showed her great school spirit in the form of a pep rally to send off the delegation. It was a high compliment payed to them and it was appreciated by the whole group.

AS USUAL, the Florence Cathcart Chapter had a great year in 1953-54. The year began with a membership drive which was highlighted by a chapel program. Few will forget this chapel pro- gram in a chapel program. This resulted in a highly active group of fifty-five future teachers who are members of the Arkansas and National Education Association. Under the guidance of President Ken Noland and Bob Coburn, who was chairman of the pro- gram committee, the chapter had an interesting meeting each month. In October a group of FTA ' ers attended the annual FTA luncheon in Hot Springs which was held in connection with the AEA Convention. The big event in the FTA year, of course, is the state convention in Little Rock. The Harding delegation arrived early fully armed with posters and cards supporting their candidates for state of- fice. After the campaigning and voting was over, the results were identical to those of the past two years — Harding was victorious! Ken Noland was the state vice-president and Jeanne Bankston the college member at-large.

COVERING campus activities, writing the news, and meeting deadlines are only a part of the life of the members of the fourth estate as they put out Harding ' s student weekly. The Bison. Head- aches attach themselves to editors as things do not go smoothly. However, there is glory for the hard work when award time comes around each year. This year, the Bison won the sweepstakes at the villc, April 2-3. The sweepstakes award goes to the paper winning the most individual awards. As an added activity of the Bison, the All-Star Basketball game is sponsored by the paper. This year ' s winner was the National league. At the close of the year with the job well done the staff celebrates with a final get-together, usually a fish Arkansas College Press Association meet in Clarks- uf ' ut t  c ( T ' V? ' tU t-C - .

This group of sixteen people who compose the executive council, two from each class (including the. graduate class and the acad- emy), three officers, and a faculty advisor, met on alternate Tuesday nights to discuss the various problems of campus life. While much of the council ' s work was quiet and not noticed by many students, it has rendered a real service. There are representatives from the council on each of the faculty committees, so that student viewpoint actually influences major deci- sions and policies in an organized way. Perhaps the highlight activity of the year for the council was the pep rally given in behalf of the United States Delegation who represented Harding at the Mid-South Model United Nations in Nashville, Tennessee. As in years past, it has been the council ' s ob- jective to serve Harding — both the faculty and student body — by providing an instrument by which student-student or student-faculty problems can be openly and freely discussed.

MANY OF OUR activities take place around the Ganus Student Center, and yet old students as well as new are not aware of the many Gontibutions made to this college that prompted the naming of this building in honor of Mr. Clif- ton L. Ganus, Sr. Brother Ganus has served for several years as Chairman of the Board. rtt ' Trustees, but has further shown his interest in Harding aif(j itJ udents by establishing a $2,000 student loan fund and offering $100 each year to the boy and girl with the highest scholastic rating. In addition, he was the largest single donor toward the building named for him. Recogn ft;iijg his contributions to Christian Education, we, the students, want to express here our apprecation for all that he has done.tfor Harding and for us. t V... 87 We found friendship, responsibility, and the fun of sharing in MRS. ARMSTRONG served at the All-Girl Club tea. GETTING acquainted at the tea. THERE ARE twelve men ' s social clubs and thirteen women ' s social clubs chartered at Harding. Some have existed almost since the college was founded, while others have been organized in more recent years as the enrollment increased. Each student has the opportunity to belong to a club if he or she wishes to do so, with membership in each club regulated by the annual enrollment to insure approximately equal size among clubs. To the newcomer on campus the long list of social clubs merely creates a bewildering array of names, colors, and symbols and only by much observa- tion and many questions does the solution evolve. During the six-week period at the beginning of each semester new students and old have the oppor- tunity to become acquainted before club choices are made. This year the girls ' clubs had open house in the dormitory and later an all-girl reception at the Rendezvous to meet the new girls, but the boys were content to advertise through club get-togethers and bull sessions. New students turned in their club preferences, club meetings were held, and bids went out on a Monday morning. Excitement grew as students re- turning from a weekend at home crowded the student center in order to get their mail, and instructions and special pledging equipment were passed out that evening from solemn pledge masters. Tuesday morn- ing began at an early hour for all, and an endless number of hats, pins, jackets, and extras in colorful display were seen by the larger-than-usual number of students at breakfast. Pledge week is sometimes as hectic for the old club members as the pledges . . . having to get up at 6 a.m. to take them to breakfast, trying to look stern when it ' s such a temptation to laugh, and racking the brain for chores to keep them busy. Of course there are conpensations on both sides — probably more Venetian blinds are dusted that week than all year combined, and the dating season is definitely on. GRACIF. liad fun — Yvonne got wet BIRD ' S EYE VIEW of the Sub T cabin. 90 AND IT ALL BEGAN WITH A BID . . . DURING pledge week the pledges had two con- solations: It can ' t last forever, and Next yeai I ' ll be the pledgemoster. After the initiations, club activities settled down into the usual routine of parties, banquets, and outings with an occasion- al business meeting thrown in for good measure. IT SLIDES DOWN so-o-o gently, but . . . AT LEAST marbles roll easily. WITH PLEDGE week come the square meals. FOOD — the climax to a long hike. TOFEBTS went formal.

PETIT JEAN QUEEN NOMINEES . . . CANDIDATES for the honors of yearbook queen, nominated by the men ' s social clubs, were excep- tionally outstanding this year. There were twelve juniors and seniors to choose from on the basis of beauty, personality, and friendliness as they were formally presented to the student body for voting during a chapel period. The three girls receiving the most votes remained finalists for the queen honors, with the final vote determining which one would be queen and the others attendants. MISS JanieMcGuire, 1953 Petit Jean Queen. STUDENT Association President, Buddy Myer, had the honor. NOMINEES WERE : Shirley Birdsall, Tri-Kappa ; Joreta West, GATA ; Barbara Richards, Ju Go Ju ; Bobbie Murphy, MEA; Jennie Schoolfield, Omega Phi; Nancv McDaniel, WHC; Mary Ann Whitaker, Regina; Sue Hart, HHH; Bonnie McAdams, TOFEBT; Hazel Stroud, Phi Delta; Noi-ma Crosby, Las Companeras; Thelma Harmon, OEGE; Sara Jean Covey, Delta Chi Omega. MAY QUEEN NOMINEES . . . SINCE May Fete is sponsored by a girls ' social club, it is fitting the nominees for May Queen honors be sponsored by the girls ' clubs. Each club selects a girl to represent them and the can- didates are presented to the student body during a chapel program to select the top three contestants. A final voting on these three then determines who will reign as Queen of May, one of the most im- portant events of the college year. MAY Queen of ' 53, Alice Freetley, and her court. CROWNING of the Queen of May was done by L. E. Pryor. MAY COURT REPRESENTATIVES row ONE: Sam Haynes, Tri-Sigma Delta; Hatsuvo Kita- zawa, HHH; Bob Waggoner, TNT; Nancy Roberts, Delta Chi Omega.

SOCIAL CLUBS also have a part in the selection of representatives for the May Court each year, v ' ith each men ' s club providing an escort for a girls ' chib representative. The pastel dresses of the girls ' and formal dress of the men furnish a striking background for the queen ' s throne. 1 vui4m wr,?WP - ' l - ,- - Bfewwa? 94 FIRST ROW: Charles Pitner, Don Palmer, Johnny Figgins, John Boggs, Ken Mallernee, Don Cope, Bob Coburn.

They enjoyed an excellent meal at the home of their sponsor, and he in turn was presented with a club jacket to the tune of For He ' s a Jolly Good Fellow. The fun being cannibals at the Legion Hut banquet in Cannibal ' s Paradise and the annual spring outing to Petit Jean were other events of the year, along with club nominee Mary Ann Tonkery reaching P.J. Queen finals. They jeined with the Tri- Kappas in presenting a silver tea service to the li- brary as their annual project. 95 FIRST ROW: Jimmv Griffith, Jerrv Covington, Ken Harris.

CAVALIER Leon Gleason President Ken Harris Vice-President Larry Gatlin Secretary -Treasurer James Davis Sponsor DURING PLEDGE WEEK the sight of so many black string ties made one wonder if Harding had imported some Southern gentlemen, but they were just eleven Cavalier club pledges with their best manners forward. This has been a very profitable year for the Cavaliers, not only in their increased membership, but for the worthwhile work they contributed in painting new swings for the campus and adding to the student loan fund of the club. The Terrace Room of the Mayfair, decorated in club colors of black and gold, was the scene of their annual winter banquet, with club sweet- heart Martha Clayton present, and the spring outing to Petit Jean was an outstanding event of the year ' s activities. 96 BEING a smaller club than the year before has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. For in- stance, the Delta Chis found it was much roomier on the floor of Mrs. Watts apartment than is usual at slumber parties, and maybe Mary could add a few more comments about the evening at this point, not to mention the Chili supper before retiring. Those who stayed between semesters to attend will recall the Artists ' Ball banquet theme and the colorful decorations of the evening. And there probably hasn ' t been a more surprised Sweetie Pie of Delta Chi than one Ken Perrin. This honor came on the spring out- ing to Petit Jean, the earliest of the year, on April 12, after four lost and hungry kids joined the group for lunch at 3 o ' clock in the afternoon. A word here — there are several girls in the dormitory who ap- preciate the abundance of food left over from Delta Chi outings.

Anyway that ' s how they began this year ' s activities, and seems the line Delta Iotas and their dates were: is often seen in the Bison social column. Initiation at Bee Rock produced seven new members to share in stag outings and frequent club get-togethers. Garden in the Moonlight was the annual banquet theme, held at the Rendezvous on January 15. An event of the evening was the presen- tation of a dozen red roses to club queen Jerry Ches- shir, no doubt in added recognition for her receiving student body vote as finalist for Petit Jean Queen. Blanchard Springs, already well known to most club members, was again the scenic spot for their annual spring outing.

Their annual winter banquet on January 22, saw the Mayfair decorated for a dinner Down in Dixie and featured entertainment by a trio plus Gregg Rhodes, talented sponsor. Stag outings and basket- ball games with other clubs all furthered friendships, the purpose for which the club was organized, as did the annual spring outing to Camp Tahkodah. The Prater Sodalis were responsible for the badly needed replacements of new bulletin boards for the dining hall entrance as their project for the year. FRATER SODALIS Huey Waites President Andy T.

The latter location was also the site of the initiation, informal of course, as any Gala.xy pledge could tell you. The spring outing which was held at Blanchard Springs, April 12, furnished a day of fun and was definitely not a stag affair. Banquet themes are at a premium during the winter months, most of them having been used many times before, so for their ban- quet on February 4 the Galaxys went back in ancient history. In fact, the usually modern Rendezvous was hardly distinguishable from scenes found in Greek Mythology, and club sweetheart, Mary Lou Johnson, looked lovely in a vivid red formal for the occasion. 100 FIRST ROW: Maxine Richesin, Martha Allen, Pat Rowe, Pat Fo arty, Pat Dial, Joanne Hartman, Phyllis Robertson.

If you ' re not donna tiss me, tay so. Don ' t leave me tanding here so long on tiptoes tause I ' m so tired and teepy. And perhaps this was heard more often than usual because the GATAs had their share of the pledges this year — an even dozen, with four Pats just to make things more complicated. In the early fall they began their social functions with a steak fry at the Little Red School House. At Christmas, they joined with the Galaxys to go caroling and for a party afterward. Then came the banquet, which can only be described as A Rhapsody in Blue. Spring activi- ties included the annual outing and an alumni tea. 101 « v«y ' ; FIRST ROW: Wilma Campbell, Sue Hart, Hatsuyo Hitazawa, Virginia Dykes, Marilyn Garrett.

They gave a Christmas Party for the elderly residents there with all the refreshments and gifts that make yoimg and old love a party. And as a further service of the group, they volunteered a day of work for helping at Camp Wyldewood on May 17. On February 13, tlie Mayfair Hotel was decorated with the traditional red and white for a Valentine banquet, and members and thier dates heard Burton Coffman as speaker for the evening. Their annual spring outing was held May 10 at Petit Jean State Park. 102 DO YOU THINK IT ' LL RAIN? During the closing days of April this is the usual greeting between mem- bers of the Ju Go Ju Club, as anxious May Fete sponsors. The first day of May is The Big Day when the Queen, elected by the student body, is crowned, and when, after a month ' s practice, thirty-two girls gracefully wind the May Pole. The Ju Go Jus ' social activities for the year began at the home of their sponsor, Mrs. Cline Sears, with the formal initiation of ten new members. Highlights were a banquet, in the style of The Old South, given at the Rendezvous, February 6, and an outing at Petit Jean, May 10, but also unforgetable are such things as cooking a spa- ghetti supper, making popcorn balls, and having club meetings in Armstrong Hall — in Mrs. Beck ' s apart- ment, that is.

The initiations, being informal, were held on stag outings. The KOIN-TV Kiddie Show furnished en- tertainment for their annual banquet held at Rober- son ' s Rendezvous on March 6, and an event of the evening was the choice of Peggy Futrell as club sweetheart. You can recognize Peggy wearing the white sweater with the miniature Koinonia emblem, her gift of the evening. Petit Jean State Park was the site of the spring outing, and other club activities included playing basketball and football games, com- peting in the Track and Field Day Program, and last, but far from least — serenading the girls ' dorms, with Sammy Floyd singing the solos. 105 A ' ' i UJ ' T t r, vd y e FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, and High Aspirations. Guided by this motto, the Lambda Sigma club this year provided a variety of activities for its members. .

Hors- ing around at business meetings, stag outings at Wyldewood, Beauregard Bugleboy ' s poem at the Okee- fenokee Swamp Party, having their club queen, Nancy McDaniel, gain May Queen Finalist honors, and the spring outing to Petit Jean made it a full year for the Lambda Sigmas.

C. Club since they revised their constitution; elected a new sponsor, Miss Lucretia Farrar; and initiated a total of twelve new members. But revolu- tions or not, it has been a year of fun. In November, the group enjoyed a weiner roast at Bee Rock. On January 23, Graucho Marx, otherwise known as Hubert Franks, entertained them at the Mayfair Hotel with his You Bet Your Life Show. In March the traditional Spanish Supper was relished and on May 3 the girls with their dates went to Petit Jean for a day of fun. The annual club project is placing the composite panel of Seniors in the Science Hall. 107 THE PLACE was a small, dimly lighted cafe; in one corner of the room a gypsy sat telling fortunes; violin music played softly in the background. In fact, one would hardly realize that it was the MEA banquet at the Roberson ' s Rendezvous. Nor would one believe that these exotic creatures were the same girls who, dressed in heavy coats, scarfs, and mittens, had sung Christmas carols only a few weeks in the past. Other memorable events to the MEA ' s are a spaghetti supper and a hamburger supper at Mrs. Atteberry ' s home, a stag outing at Camp Tahkodah, and the intitiation of six new members.

This year Ortell Armstrong was chosen club queen. The Mohicans are proud of their un- defeated team in basketball and football competition with other men ' s clubs, as well as participation in the Track and Field Day activities.

Con- fidentially, there were only three, but the owners were seen in so many places there seemed to be more. The OEGEs also had a new sponsor this year, along with their seven pledges, to get acquainted with. Thife project was furthered by a slumber party in the home of Mrs. Cannon and at special club meetings, such as one featuring a waffle supper. Overcoming the larger- than-usual number of difficulties, including the weather, made their Mardi Gras banquet even more a success, and one to be often recalled. The popular site for outings.

Each year this honor goes to the senior whom the members of the senior class believe to be the most deserving. At a Mexican supper in Cathcart kitchen, the Reginas proved quite versatile — not only were they able to cook the food, they v ere able to eat it. And on the day they initiated their nine new pledges, the Reginas also gained the youngest club member in their history in the person of Beverly Jo Pryor. In December, the group enjoyed a Christ- mas party at Bessie Mae Pryor ' s home, and on Feb- ruary 27, the password was Ship Ahoy as they dined in style aboard the good ship Rendezvous. The spring outing was held at Petit Jean, May 17. 113 TEN SIGMA TAU pledges were initiated at Hobo Island and returned to their sponsor ' s home for food after the fun, to begin an eventful year. Not only did their activities include the usual swimming parties and stag outings to Wyldewood, but the ambitious Sigma Tau ' s were also responsible for When Shake- speare ' s Gentlement Get Together, the one-act play enjoyed so much in chapel. And in case you wondered who provided identification tags for visiting groups on campus, they did, as their club project. Betty Helm was chosen club queen and proved a wise choice not only because she gained P.J. Queen finals, but could bake a good cake as well. Honoring departing member Cecil May at a farewell party, their Valentine banquet at the Roseann Restaurant, and spring outing at Petit Jean were other high points of the year.

Purchasing badly needed song books for vesper services in Armstrong Hall was their project for the year. 116 THE TOFEBT CLUB might be known as the most partying club on campus — having had at least six parties this year, not including the formal initiation, the spring outing at Petit Jean, and the annual slum- ber parties. Perhaps the most unusual of these parties was the traditional Tin Can Supper. The theme of the winter banquet, held at the Mayfair Hotel, was A Holiday in Mexico. The other parties were a pie supper, a Halloween party, a Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Jack Wood Sears, and a club dinner. The Tofebt ' s project was making and contributing toward repairs in the Infirmary.

Sugar might be credited with suggesting this project because one night |n club meeting he drawled, Y ' all, ah ' m homesick fo Missi- ssippi. Entergetic Tri-Sigs can also be credited with aiding in the Heart Fund drive, as they made personal visits to solicit funds. Outstanding occasions for the club this year have been the initiation, a stag outing at Camp Tahkodah, and the spring outing at Petit Jean. But regular meetings have also been unforget- able — especially those held banquet style.

These fun-loving girls cooked up both the fried chicken and fixin ' s for their annual Country Supper and ingenious initiation stunts for the sixteen new pledges, with the atmos- phere of Halloween adding a spookier-than-usual touch to their informal initiation this year. Meetings were highlighted by numerous parties and suppers, includ- ing their annual progressive supper, Halloween Party for pledges, and bunking parties at the lovely home of Mrs. West. I ' wo projects were on their agenda this year — peanut week for the dormitory girls and joining with the Sub T ' s to buy a trophy case for the Student Center. Camp Tahkodah was their April 19 outing location. 119 Intramural competition develops Strong Bodies and Meet Minds in M. E. PINKY BERRYHILL, director. HUGH RHODES. ATHLETIC DIRECTORS KEPT SPORTS INTERESTS AT PEAK PARTICIPATION . . . APPROXIMATELY 200 students participated in the intra-mural program at Harding this year. Football, basketball, baseball, tennis, volleyball- all these and other sports contributed to the well- rounded schedule led by M. E. Pinky Berryhill and Hugh Rhodes. Cecil Doc Beck directed the baseball portion of the program. A new innova- tion was used this year for the first time. Under a new po int system, medals, and trophies were to be presented at the end of the year to the students piling up the most points during the season. For instance, being on a winning team in basketball would assure the student of five points. The stu- dent with the highest number of points for the year is to receive an appropriate trophy or medal for his accomplishments. Four student assistants were also named b} ' the P.E. department to help in carrying out the program. The students named were: John Hillls, Harvey Starling, Mary Etta Grady, and Ken Shewmaker. Each is to receive a monogrammed jacket from the department for services rendered. All in all, the athletic depart- ment at Harding this year had one of its finest sea- sons ever . . . thanks to three great leaders, four assistants, and the cooperation of all participating.

ALPHA HONOR SOCIETY IN ORDER TO promote scholarship among the students of Harding, the ALPHA HONOR SO- CIETY was organized in the winter of 1936. Dr. R. R. Coons, then Chairman of the Department of Chemistry, took the lead in establishing this so- ciety. The nine members admitted this spring bring the total membership of the organization to 110. To be eligibile for membership a junior must have completed 80 semester hours with a scholar- ship index of 3.70 and a senior must have com- pleted 112 hours with a level of 3.50. In addition to high scholarship, good moral character is a qualification for membership. Also, not more than ten per cent of the junior class nor more than twelve and one-half per cent of the senior class are eligible. 141 Shirley Birds a 11 Danny Brown Norman Hughes Mary Lou Johnson RECOGNITION in the annual publication. Who ' s Who in American Universities and Colleges, is one of the highest honors a college student may attain. Students are first recommended by the college attended and then accepted by the organization. The faculty made the selections from a group of students proposed by the Student Association and on the basis of qualities of scholarship, leadership, and cooperation in educational and extra-curricu- lar activities, and the promise of future usefulness to business and society. This year there were ten students — nine seniors and one junior — represented from Harding. SHIRLEY BIRDSALL editor of the ' 54 Petit lean, was remembered by many girls of the ' 55 Cla5s as a very helpful Big Sister. DANNY BROWN took time out from heading a family to set high scholastic standards through- out his college career. NORMAN HUGHES proved he had know- ledge and ability above and beyond that usuallj ' required of General Science majors. MARY LOU JOHiNSON contributed a great deal to the pleasure of all through her spontaneo us friendliness and talents. CECIL MAY. JR wrote an inspiring column for the Bison, worked hard in the dramatic depart- ment, and kept a high scholarship rating. OWEN OLBRICHT made contributions to many campus activities ranging from chorus to basketball to Senior Class President. CHARLES PITTMAN, in his calm manner, showed that quiet effeciency and dependability are qualities that make for success. PAT ROWE managed to maintain a high grade average while starring in several major dramatic productions. JANE SUTHERLIN, usually found between the Maypole and the Petit Jean office, made con- tributions to manv campus activities. MARY ANN WHITAKER gave proof that brains and initiative are an unbeatable combina- tion in getting many jobs done.

Dr. Benson has contributed valua- ble service to both the state and the nation, and in recognition of his efforts was selected Arkansan of the Year for 1953. In a state- wide contest sponsored by the Arkansas Dem- ocrat, a leading Little Rock newspaper, proof of his popularity came in an overw helming majority vote in the primary election. At a banquet sponsored by the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce he was awarded a plaque by Governor Cherry in recognition of this honor, and was featured in the Sunday Magazine Section of the Democrat. Dr. Benson is president of the Arkansas Public Expenditure Council, a non-political organization of Arkansas citizens interested in the operation of state and local govern- ment, and in this capacity has met and made many friends throughout the state in the goals of economy and efficiency in government.

SEPTEMBER FOR the freshmen, and old students returning early, rush week began on the Monday morning of September fourteenth. After the process of mov- ing in, with frequent pauses to meet and greet others, there was the schedule to consult. Newcom- ers attended the orientation meetings and then it didn ' t take them long to start groaning Oh, no! Not another line! There were lines for the physi- cals, lines waiting to see counselors, lines to stand in waiting to be sectionalized and registered, but hardest of all to get used to — lines as far as the fish pond for meals. However, it was a pleasant surprise to enjoy meals in the newly decorated in- terior of the dining hall. The fine art of book buying had to be accom- plished before classes began the following Friday morning and we settled down to the routine of meeting 8:00 classes and rushing through lunch to the 1:00 ones. We were just about settled when the annual photographer came and upset every- body ' s schedule. EDDIE wasn ' t ignoring the girls, he ' s just going back to the parking lot for another load. AN ANNUAL PROCEDURE — meeting the faculty at the Freshman reception. INTERESTING OPERATION — Joe ' s had enough practice to be good at blood tests by now. WEDNESDAY ' S SUPPER — informally yours — the annual weiner roast. COUNSELING — the first step in a long, long line. %t 6 h ' - y if OCTOBER OCTOBER began a little noisely — campaigns for freshmen class officers subsided only to give way to the publicity of those for IRC officers. To the cheers of supporters, new officers were installed and the noise subsided into the busy buzz of the routine again. That is until the fourth week began the fall meeting of the College Church and test week for most. Sunday night, the eleventh, really began the club activities with the girl ' s clubs grouping in the dorm rooms to meet the new girls. That week picture proofs returned and the major decision of which pose to put in the annual was made. The following Sunday afternoon was the date of the All Girl Reception tea at the Rendez- vous and then the girls of the dormitories got bet- ter acquainted by bunking up during the week of Freedom Forum XIV. No sooner were the visitors gone than pledge week began. After the harrow- ing experiences of pledging it was quite fitting that initiations take place on Halloween night; es- pecially those held informally. WE DON ' T BLAME you, Nadine, but it ' s one of those necessary evils. NOW LET ' S SEE — where ' s the Business depart- ment? SEVEN FIFTY! For a history book?! 147 CORNELIA STABLER - lyceum entertainers. first o f the season ' s NOVEMBER AS WE recuperated from the many hazards of pledge week and Halloween, we were reminded of that fact that it was only three short weeks until the Thanksgiving vacation. Lectureships began on the fifteenth. The theme was Biblical Phophecy — Brother Marshall Keeble spoke to a capacity crowd. On the twentieth Ecce Credo was presen- ted in chapel. As a warm-up for their trip to the model United Nations in the spring, the IRC pre- sented a mock Security Council Session on the twenty-third. The month ended on a pleasant note — Thanksgiving vacation. DECEMBER DECEMBER seemed such a nice month, with a lot of activities in the very few days between the Thanksgiving holidays and the Christmas holidays. On the fourth, we heard the Longine Symphonette. Beyond the Horizon was presented on the ele- venth. The girls won ' t forget Peanut Week and the dorm Christmas party. One of the most enjoy- able evenings of the year was the sixteenth, when everybody surprized everybody else. The girls had planned to go outside to sing carols at the boys dorms, while the boys had erected a large tree on the front lawn for the girls. Everybody compro- mized by standing around the tree singing carols and then moving up to the Emerald Room for re- freshments furnished by the faculty. Christmas holidays thus started with a bang. ' WONI )ErR which they ' wanfeci ' rfiosl.? INTERESTING but oh those long speeches! MR. PIM — first Campus Players production of the year. REFRESHMENTS were a long time coming — and so was the entertainment. 148 «f V JANUARY AFTER the Christmas holidays, the pass-word was diet. After classes started on January sixth, ev- erybody busied themselves finishing the semester with term papers and outside reading. The tenth brought us the biggest snow in years. The side- walk from Pattie Cobb to the Student Center was a virtual no-man ' s land after the snow-ball brigade mobilized. The Petit Jean Queen nominees were presented in chapel on the eighth while the May Queen nominees were presented on the fourteenth. Who ' s Who Awards were made in chapel on the twenty-third (It ' s a good thing that they were all there!) ' and The Robe ' ! was presented that even- ing. The month ended with those dreaded exams. FEBRUARY MANY new faces accompanied February as we registered on the second for the new semester. There was a meeting of the Student Association that evening with entertainment. We ' ll all re- member the Academy Senior play Great Expec- tations given as well as the Rondoliers. The tacky party was held in the dining hall; Pat Fogerty, Kathleen Arnold, Dennie Hall, and Ralph Odom won the prizes for the night. The highlight of the month was the Harding IRC United States delega- tion participating in the model U.N. at David Lips- comb College. A huge pep rally, including cheer- leaders, gave them a big sendoff on the twenty- second, after the glorious leader, alias Dr. Ken- ney, was exalted and various testimonials made. MARCH MARCH began with The Importance of Being Earnest. The basketball season finished with the Bison AU-Star game on the sixth. Ken Noland and Jeanne Bankston were elected to state office at the FTA convention on the thirteenth, and on that same day, the Senior class went to Camp Wylde- wood for a nice, windy outing. On the eighteenth, the Jr.-Sr. Banquet was held at the Rendezvous to the theme of an Irish Holiday. The twenty-sixth was the most famous day of this month, or this yea r! Harding was accepted by the North Central Association. The old Godden bell rang for five minutes to announce the acceptance, followed by several speeches on a bench by the side of the bell tower. That night we had three consecutive meet- ings. First the meeting at the College Church, then Marais and Miranda, and then a rally with the band. Dr. Benson, and everything! What a night! WHAT were the Home Ec. girls serving this time? JANUARY 10 — the big snow. NOT A FRESHMAN, just a green sophomore. THE BEGINNING of good entertainment. l iwi4- HOW MANY TIMES have we seen these two at work? THREE lovely girls — a difficult choice for the voters. FUGITIVES from the Tacky Party. DEAR MOM, Every night I study so hard I just haven ' t had time . . . 1 SHE THOUGHT she ' d found a quiet place to i study. APRIL APRIL began with the return from spring holi- days. Many Ju Go Ju ' s who were all excited about the May Fete began to wonder when they had to get up at 5:30 a.m. to practice. All through this month we heard much about the accomplishments of the Academy track team. They won three out of five meets and nine trophies prior to the State meet. The Freedom Fonam XV convened during the second week and brought many interesting speakers to chapel — Hisey, Whitman, and Phil- brick. The Medium was given on the nineth, and the Concert Trio gave an unusual but very enjoyable Qoncert on the thirtieth. Club outings started this month — the weather being very agreeable, as you may have noticed by the sun- tans. 150 MAY MAY traditionally opens with a May Day celebra- tion, and this one was no exception. Nancy Mc- Daniel was crowned Queen of May by Brother Charles Pitner. On the sixth, some ran hurdles while others stayed at home and caught up with term papers and outside reading. We will remem- ber the dedication of the Petit Jean. Brother Mau- rice Howell delivered the bacculaureate sermon on the thirtieth. Final exams began on the twenty- eighth. This was the month the Seniors had their last outing of the year to celebrate with mixed emotions their parting. JUNE EXCEPT for the summer school students, June was a very short school month — three days. But in those three days was packed the climax of the year — exams were finished on the first; the unforget- table and all-inclusive celebration on the second; and the commencement on the third! MOODS were tense in The Medium. GOVERNOR CHERRY presents Dr. Benson his Arkansan of the Year plaque. AN UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT — Harding accredited by North Central!!

UNDER the energetic supervision of Perry Mason the largest enrollment of Academy students in its history proved to have more than its share of talent and personalities. In every field of competition new records have been set or higher standards reached. Not least among the reasons for this progress are the spiritual examples set by the faculty and the inspiration provided for their stvi- dents.

Halloween just called for an informal initiation this year, with the formal one on November 2. During the year there were not only secret club pals to do nice things for, but also a banquet to work on. On January 30 their guests enjoyed a banquet to the theme and tune of Star Dust. As a club project they saw the need and spent their time and effort mending the hymn books in the Academy audi- torium. 168 FIRST ROW: Tommy Dwyer, John Weibel, Mavis Baldwin, Carlon Southerland, Bob Wallace, Dwight Smith, Charles -Martin.

And no wonder — there were only fourteen of them! After a bank-up initiation, one of their first activities was a hamburger fry in the back yard at Edward Ritchie ' s home. Their banquet, carried out with a Hawaiian theme, was held March 30th. For the year ' s project it was decided they would place mirrors in the boy ' s dressing room in the gym and in the football dressing rooms. 169 THE SUB-DEB Club, the oldest of the high school girls ' social clubs, has been functioning since 1938. This year they added seven new members to their ranks and went on to have a lovely banquet to the theme of Artistry in Rhythm. It was held on February 20 in the Terrace Room of the Mayfair Hotel. As did their brother club, the ZKTs, they chose to make an Academy scrapbook of the year ' s events to present to the school.

A dozen new members helped accomplish these projects, after putting in some earnest pledg- ing — or what they would call just plain hard work. They must not mind the work, though, be- cause they also donated a day ' s work preparing Camp Wyldewood for the summer opening and also prepared an Academy scrapbook to be pre- sented to Perry Mason at the end of school.

Crowned District 2B champs in their third year of interscholastic competition, the Wildcats chalked up a sterling 7-1 record for the season. Only powerful Cotton Plant held the ' Cats at bay for four quarters. Ten men placed on the all-district squad. This number represents more than any other team in the state placed on the elite squads. Fortunate ones were Mickey Allen, Freddy Massey, Dick May, Bill Path, Otis Falls, John, Harold, and Roy Vanderpool, Chuck Van Eaten, and John Weibel. Dot Goodwin was crowned football queen in the Wildcats ' first homecoming game against Barton in the season finale. iprnr d 177 MICKEY ALLEN All-District MAVIS BALDWIN JOHNNY BERRYHILL W. D.

Posting a sterling 20-6 record in their third year of inter- scholastic ball, the ' Cats advanced to the semi-finals of the District 2B tournament at Swifton, bowling over Southside, Grubbs, and Charlotte in order. Oil Trough ' s once-beaten Bears finally conquered the Bengals, 70-56. Freddy Massey placed on the all-district senior squad and Mickey Allen copped all-county honors.
