Foreword<br />

If in glancing through our book, you recall to mind<br />

some of the events of the school year fits associa­<br />

tions and activities, if you ore made to feel anew<br />

something of the spirit of <strong>Harding</strong> the spirit of<br />

sacri fice and se rvice. . we, the staff of the 1938<br />

Petit Jean, truly feel that our effort<br />

has been worth while.


The m e<br />

Our church colleges of today have but one funda­<br />

mental purpose for existing as such . .. to maintain<br />

and further develop the ideals<br />

of Christianity.<br />

With this thought in mind we have chosen in our<br />

theme to acquaint you with a few of the leaders in<br />

lhe Christian college movement in the hope that<br />

their lives of service will prompt all to a greater<br />

sense of appreciation for the movement<br />

and perhaps aid in it.<br />

Dedication<br />

To those men who by virtue of their courage and<br />

devotion to God reproclaimed the New Testament<br />

church, those men who lived for God's word and<br />

died for it, the pioneers of the reformation move­<br />

ment in America, we, the Senior Closs of 1938,<br />

do humbly and respectfully dedicate<br />

this annual .

Historical Sketch of <strong>Harding</strong> College<br />

<strong>Harding</strong> College as the flowering out of the spi rit and dream of its great founder,<br />

James A. <strong>Harding</strong>, hod the foundation laid for its beginning when the nucleus of its present<br />

faculty come together many years ago in the Potter Bible College, Bowling Green, Kentucky.<br />

James A. <strong>Harding</strong> become the first president of this Institution and here he hod associoted<br />

with him his daughter Woodson <strong>Harding</strong>, and her husband, J. N. Armstrong, and the loyol<br />

co-workers through the following yeors, B. F. Rhodes, S. A. Bell, and R. N. Gordner, all of<br />

whom ore with the present institution.<br />

This group of loyal fri ends, however, in 1905 moved their work farther west to Odessa,<br />

Missouri, and established there the Western Bible and Literary College with J. N. Armstrong<br />

as its first president. Students of this institution are counted among the alumni of <strong>Harding</strong><br />

College and many of the children of these students are now enrolled in the present institution.<br />

Because of ill health President Armstrong resigned after two years and went West, but<br />

In 1908 accepted the presidency of Cordell Christian College, Cordell, Oklahoma. The next<br />

year o the rs of the old faculty joined him until practically the entire group were together again<br />

wi th others added.<br />

Until this time no emphasis hod been given to sc:unng affiliation with the universities<br />

or accrediting agencies, but during the ten years in which the school operated a t Cordell it<br />

secured recognition for three years of college work and was the first Christian college to<br />

receive better than junior standing.<br />

DUring the dark days of the war In 1918, it was decided to close the institution tem­<br />

porarily but almost immediately an invitation was received to combine the work with the<br />

recently established Harper College at Harper, Kansas. This was done, and the work was<br />

carried on at Harper until 1924, when the institution was consolidated with Arkansas Christian<br />

College of Morrilton, Arkansas. In this consolidation the nome was changed, in honor of the<br />

original founder, to <strong>Harding</strong> College.<br />

Through these years the institution has been corned on in inadequate buildings, but<br />

even under these handicaps It hod grown in prestige and hod secured recognition as a standard<br />

senior college. In 1938 come the opportunity to secure an entire college plant with adequate<br />

buildings and excellent equipment located at Searcy, Arkansas, and the Boord of Trustees<br />

Immediately moved the institution to its present location.<br />

While <strong>Harding</strong> College has hod a varied history since ItS beginnings, with each change<br />

It has grown 10 power and influence, until it now possesses a college plant of which It can be<br />

i'-ls tly proud, and which for the first t ime gives It permanence.

SENIOR MESSAGE<br />

As the graduating class of 1938, we feel a four-fold obligation or sense<br />

of gratitude for those who have helped us in whatever we may have accom­<br />

plished while here at <strong>Harding</strong> or hope to accomplish in the future as a result<br />

of our stay here.<br />

First of all, we are grateful to our parents who made it possible for us<br />

to attend college. It was only through their foresight and willingness to<br />

sacrifice that we were able to attend <strong>Harding</strong> at all.<br />

Secondly, we are grateful to the faculty and administration for their<br />

guiding and ever-helpful spirit in setting forth to us those high ideals that<br />

ore characteristic of the school.<br />

Third, we are appreciative of <strong>Harding</strong>'s alumni and other friends who<br />

by their support and encouragement throughout the years, have indeed kept<br />

the school alive and on an ever upward trend .<br />

And last of all we are appreciative of the undergraduate students of<br />

<strong>Harding</strong> with whom we have been associated during the past year. We hope<br />

that they have enjoyed this acquaintance as much as we hove. I t is our<br />

sincere desire that they may continue their schooling at <strong>Harding</strong> and<br />

eventually fit themselves in life for that place wherein they may most effect<br />

ively serve their fellowman.<br />

CEDAR FALLS-PETIT JEAN<br />

Legend of Petit Jean<br />

One o f the legends about Petit Jean Mountoin is to the effect thot the valiont French<br />

explorer Cheves was lured by s tones 10 the unexplored country of Americo. Though deeply in<br />

love with his fiancee, Adrienne, wavering ' twixt love and desire fOr adventure, he de termined<br />

at lost to soil to the distant lond. When Adrienne heard of hi s decision. she made up her<br />

mind, unknown to her lover, thot she would also go to the new land. Disguised as a cobin boy,<br />

she secured passage under the name of Jean on the some ship on which Cheves soiled.<br />

Because of her small stature, the sailors called her " Petit Jean,"<br />

Reaching the mouth of the MississiPPI, they soiled up that rrver to the Arkansas, and<br />

landed at the foot of a mountain, where they found the Indians friendly, the country beautiful,<br />

and the climate delightful. It was so much like fairyland that Cheves ordered his crew to go<br />

no farther, and a settlement was thus made in what is naw Arkansas. The Indians adored<br />

Pet.t Jean, and regarded her as a being from another world. They brought her offerings of<br />

frUits and fl owers, and strove in every way to express their love. Stdl ignorant of her ident.ty,<br />

Cheves announced ane day that he proposed to return to France, to bring his f.ancee to the<br />

new land Petit Jean fell seriously ill, and the news of h.s departure mode her worse. Fearing<br />

that she would not recover, she called Cheves to her side and disclosed her ident.ty. His gr,ef<br />

and woe were indescribable. Broken-hearted, he nursed her, but she expired in hIS arms, and,<br />

In accordance with his request, was bUlled in a beautiful spot on top of the mountain which<br />

was given her nome.<br />

The Indians used to soy that her spirit guarded the grove. They sow her among the tree<br />

tops swaying In the breeze; they saw her rowing on the river in her canoe; they sow her<br />

wondering gaily In the forest, and ever shedding a blessi ng over the mountain called Petit Jean.


A. G. FREED<br />

Freed was outstanding as a debater and as a<br />

Christian educator and gentleman. He and N. B.<br />

Ha rdemann, a former pupil, founded the college<br />

that now bears -th eir names and Freed was its first<br />

president. He was one of the best school men the<br />

church has ever had in modern times. Courtesy,<br />

kindness, and cleanliness were his three<br />

outstanding characteristics.<br />

sive one known thus for to the college.<br />

His business-like but friendly attitude wan the confidence of the student<br />

body which he retained throughout the year.<br />

It was through his efforts that the track and ball park were constructed<br />

and the revival of interest for athletics in general came about. Although<br />

focing various difficulties during his first year of service, Coach Berryhill<br />

Bill, a Freshman, was a four-year le tter man for the Academy previous to hi s enrollment<br />

In college and this yeor, he showed promise of developing into a good offensive mono<br />

First reporting for practice with the Reserve Squad, he received a promot ion to the<br />

Varsi ty in the early port of the second quarter.<br />

L. E. PRYOR<br />

Pryor was the only freshman to gam 0 position on the Varsity Squad ot the first of the<br />

yeor. He served as a subst itute cente r. Before entering college, Pryor lettered two yeors<br />

on the Academy team. He is considered excellent material for a prospec tive center for<br />

Berryhill divided the group and established the first Reserve Squad in the school's history.<br />

Although no gomes away from home were scheduled for the new team, they reported for<br />

regular pract ice and frequently scrimmaged the Varsi ty Squad and played practice games<br />

wi th the Academy team.<br />

The Reserve Squad, composed mostly ot Freshmen, proved to be a great asse t in furnish ing<br />

new material fo r the Va rsity section several times during the season. Besides this, it promoted<br />

interest a nd ent husiasm in basketball for a greater number of st udents and offered an oppor­<br />
