The course of study followed in our Sunday af- ternoon meetings has been in Dr. Vance's Love l Trails of the Long Ago, and the students have T found these old Bible love stories more inter- fl estinq and inspiring than a present day novel. fy We were most fortunate also to have sev- eral of our friends talk to us on various Sundays, A A among them: Dr. Borders, Mr. Saunders, Mr. ' Stanley Wilson. Though the number is small r i the students Who compose this group are the l outstanding leaders, religious and social, of the ly School. Our sponsor is Miss Sallie Lacy. She 'L has worked unswervingly for the success of the ll programs. pil 'srl QV 4 0 NS. -.

Q .., - wi :if 0 gferg ScHooL or' TH ZARKS 9' - RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The School of the Ozarks was established to meet a very pressing need. among a people who have been denied the best educational and religious pri- vileges, such privileges as have been enjoyed by more favored sections. 'The three-fold aim, Educational, Vocational and Spiritual, has always been strict- ly adhered to in the work of the school. We feel, as those vs ho first estab- lished the school felt, that any system of education that meets the needs of the present day, must include character building in its program g and so We place the Bible in the fore-front with the other subjects taught in our school. It is significant that the chair of Bible was the first to receive endowment in our institution. The purpose of the course is to give the student a comprehensive know- ledge of the Scriptures, during the four years required for graduation. We attempt to throw around the lives of the students, who come to us, the best influence possible, by making religion a matter of every day walk and con- versation-our aim is to send them out christian men 'and women. We have had to work under serious handicaps, in that we have had to hold all our services in one of the dormitories, since we had no chapel for such religious services 5 and yet the record of our school shows that very few of our students graduate without becoming professing Christians. Every student is required to attend religious services on Sunday. The teacher of Bible, who is also pastor of the student church, conducts the morn- ing service. This service is followed by the Sunday School presided over by one of the students. After the opening exercises the student body breaks up into classes taught by the different teachers. Probably the most interesting service of the day is the evening service conducted by the Christian Endeavor society. In this service every student is given an opportunity for self-expression. The Day begins with morning prayers at the breakfast table, and then during school week chapel services are held each day. These services are conducted by the president, or some other member of the faculty. In the senior year, each member of the class is required to conduct one chapel ser- v1ce. With the completion of our new Administration building, which contains Well equipped class rooms, and also our beautiful chapel, we feel that we are in aposition to do far more, for our students in a moral and spiritual way, than we have ever done. ,? iii' - l l V V P l li ll l ll ull I lil it l T ll li l .sms-.sms N .

WH S QL 1 T A KS me i BEREANS We feel that with each Sabbath lesson this year, there has been added to our lives a spirit- ual strengthening that will endure through the years. We cannot but add a word of apprecia- tion for the unselfish and conscientious devotion of our teacher, Whose fine Christian spirit is an inspiration to us to go on seeking that which has made her life so abundant and rich in love and service. wif XX is .Q wS 2 vu ,ff Q x a if:-f ,,,fffi?f g,g5fSs3Q1Qi-,sms ,KQT i .. -er: a - M ,.
