WE CHERISI-I We have been told by our elders that high school days are the most exciting of our lives. During our freshman year we attended one of three schools: Vernon, Central, or Edison. To these we were loyal. We had our competitive basketball teams and were, in a sense, enemies. Then we came to Harding. At first, we were hostile toward each other, but this soon was lost as we became bound together by common interests: football, basketball, clubs and classes. We met other people and made new friends, some of them our dearest. ' For these and many other things, Dear Harding, we cherish thee. Page 9

Page 8 WE HCDNCDR JAMES H. SMITH f james H. Smith, teacher of physics and higher arithmetic at Harding, has been the student's friend and advisor at all times. He is eager to assist, not by performing the work himself, but by making the way clear for the student to go forward, thinking for himself. He has instilled in them a sense of experiment. He is genial, sincere, and possesses a fine under- standing of human problems. For these virtues and many others too numerous to mention in this small space, to you, Mr. Smith, we dedicate this book.

Page 10 FTER the first few days of becoming reacquainted with our friends whom we have not seen all summer, we are once again caught in the regular routine of studies. To the juniors and seniors, the school life is similar to that of the previous year. To the sophomores, it is new and exciting. They have never been to Harding and some of them are not sure what it all means. So for them the first few months are spent in getting acquainted with the teachers, fellow students, and ways of the school. Underlying all the excitement and worry of the sophomores is the hustle and bustle of reorganizing the clubs. It is during these fall days that Mr. Marshall's voice comes over the public address system to announce that all those who wish to join a certain club should meet in west hall immediately after school. Here it is that the teachers, as sponsors of the different organizations, aid the officers in bringing peace and order out of chaos. Outside school, too, the students are occupied with social activities. There are skating parties and bicycling to absorb much of the time. Thus the first section of the Quiver is devoted to teachers, sophomores, and fall activities.
