ATHENS CLEAY PULUIAS LV. eb b : President In his opening chapel talk last October, President Pullias forcefully presented Lipscomb’s motto for the year, “It can be improved.” ‘Through his determined efforts, this improvement has been effected and our motto has gradually become a reality. The persuasive power to influence the thinking of others has helped Mr. Pullias rise to his present position of honor. ‘Through his carefully outlined speeches, others are moved to strive for the best and highest that is attainable. We appreciate his laughing with those who laugh — even at his own expense.

CADWALLADER Bowing into the picture — several of them — is Cadwallader Carpenter, the little man who was always there. Always, this year, that is. Cad- wallader, a conspicuous campus figure, comes with the compliments of John. Maybe he had better speak for himself. “Well, if you insist. Fact is, I don’t usually have much to say, as you'll notice after this. I’ve kinda enjoyed working around a group of young people, hearing their jokes and gripes about the campus conditions. There’s no denying that this year has been inconvenient and unique, but —in spite of numerous delays — quite a bit of progress and filled ditches can be seen. I work hard when I’m on the job, but I don’t mind telling you friends that I observe a lot that goes on; you'll see what I mean.”
