THE PRESIDENT DR. A. B. MACKEY If the spirit of Trevecca were symbolized by a fruit tree, it would be like the tree mentioned in the Bible — the tree that had twelve kinds of fruit. The evidences of the spirit of Trevecca are expressed in words, in thoughts, and in deeds. The spirit of Trevecca reminds me of the proverb, A word fitly spoken Is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. The language of Trevecca Is almost completely the language of courtesy, love, and kindness. Someone asked what lan- guage was spoken in a certain military organization, and the reply was profane language. In my thirty-five years of ac- quaintance with Trevecca I have never heard any profanity among our students or faculty. It is difficult to know what kinds of thoughts are in the minds of the personnel of Trevecca, but we have the confi- dence that a high proportion of the thinking Is permeated with love and sympathy and obedience. The Scripture teaches that whatsoever a man thinketh In his heart so he is; a large number of our students evidence a spirit of high thinking. The faculty who work for small salaries; students who give their time for Christian work; the district superintendents, pastors and constituency of the college who give their money to support Trevecca — all illustrate the spirit of devotion to Christian education. —A. B. MACKEY, President The president ' s home The Mackeys and their nephew, Gene Dalton, relax at home

IN M E M O R I AM A TRIBUTE TO DONNIE SMITH Some called him honorable, Honorable In the deeds he d id. Sonne called him a master, A master of that which he conquered; One called him a prince, A prince of all princes he numbered. Noble names and words of goodness Are said about him; Yet, beautiful words and flowery phrases seem so very dim — Dim to the fact That his Christian life and testimony Were the things that really counted. For his daily life, which was lived for Jesus, Will continue to shine without a doubt. Yes, we lost a hero, a friend, A leader — one of conscientious mind; But heaven has gained a jewel — A jewel of a rare and precious kind. —RUTH SHANNON 6
