A ff 1 M K l l l gl il . !:fK-?f THE 1951 TMOZARK-IAN Alumni LAURENCE W. CLELAND, P1'eside111f The grandeur of the mountain thrills the soul of him who loves the beautiful. F the loft elevation flow many small streams to beautify and refresh the sur- rom y rounding country. So stands Southwest Baptist College as a majestic mountain peak, the handiwork of God Himself, sending forth its many streams of human life to purify and enrich the nation in which we live. It is hardly possible to go anywhere in Missouri or nearby states without finding men and women who are former graduates of this beloved institution. They are en- gaged in business, in the professions, in the ministry, and in many other walks of life. Many of the graduates of recent years are attending institutions of higher learning in order to receive advanced preparation for the work to which they have been called. Every loyalf alumnus possesses a growing appreciation for Southwest Baptist Col- S, lege. It is inspired by personal benefits received and by the high type of service that is being rendered to the youth of this section of our country. This appreciation should 5751 be expressed by loyalty to our Alma Mater. There should be nofdearer friends of the school than those of us who are graduates. The present success and future welfare of the college is largely in our hands, and by our moralsupport, believing that it is an in- p dispensable asset to the business, professional and religious life of our nation, by our 5, financial support, thereby proving the sincerity of our love, and by our prayers in its behalf and for its success, we can help to make Southwest Baptist College a continued y S blessing to young men and women of future days whose lives will be influenced by her high ideals and principles of Christian living.

The students of Southwest Baptist College had assembled to choose and to crown their Mozarkian -Queen. All were loyal to the school, for it was one of the most outstanding occasions of the year, and all knew that the contest was close. The three candidates, Miss Grace Jewell Potter, Miss Lois Hutcheson, and Miss Rhea Landreth awaited the reports, as did all who were present, as the polls did not close until eight o'clock. As the sale of Mozarkians increased the number of votes, the totals became more and more obscure and increasing enthusiasm was displayed. At the stroke of eight, Charles Drake announced that the last vote had been cast. The report of the committee bro-ught joy to all, for Miss Grace Jewell Potter had been elected as our Mo- zarkian Queen. Though we feel that we could not have made a better choice, we have equal love and respect for the other two candidates, and sincerely hope that Tiffin Teters will find some use for his twelve Mozarkians which came so near placing Miss Lois Hutcheson in the lead. Grace Jewell is one whom we all love, not only the members of the sophomore class but everyone who knows her. Her charm, her modesty, her beauty, well deserve the high honor given her. Grace Jewell is a leader among her classmates and holds a creditable scholastic record. A signal for the ceremony which followed was given in the form of a march played by Miss Louise England, as the procession moved down the stairs and into the gymna- sium at the end of the hall. Two pages, Miss Marjorie Carpenter and Mr. Floyd Miller, led this march. Next in line came our beloved President and Dean, Dr. Redford and Dean Pike, followed by the three couples: Grace Jewell Potter and Gene Armstrong, Lois Hutcheson and Willis Thurman, and Rhea Landreth and Tiffin Teters. Gene Armstrong had been chosen by the student body as Prince Charming and Wil is Thurman and Tiffin Teters,.the second and third 1T1OSt popular boys in sghool. it fi A ' A .prayer offered by Dr. Redfo-rd as he stood at the base of the throne added to tae fi? impressiveness of the scene. Dean Pike brought a brief message in his gracious man- FV .A ner, emphasizing the purity of true womanhood and upholding the fine qualities of tae W5 girls on this campus, especially the one whom we had chosen as our queen. J ff . ms, Gene expressed, in behalf of the student body, the admiration for Grace Jewell, Q E, and very gracefullyhplaced a crown upon her head. Grace Jewell's modest remarks fi expressed her appreciation for the honor bestowed upon her. 19 Each one present drank to the glory of our queen. This was recognized as one of the happiest social events of the year. Q, S if Vg l ky, - N fs 3 A c. Nl' g . i ii ' fTTTiTPu4'-7fHX,.'f'iT'T:7:L.s Q ,5f -.LF 13,-'x--X .-,A-x.-,L Page T1uc11iy-fam-V
