DEDICA liON . . .
To one who has dedicated his life to Chris··
tian education, to one who has had a profound
influence in directing youthful lives
into noble paths, to one whose quiet life
speaks louder than many sermons, to one
who is deeply loved and respected at home
as well as at school and in the community,
to one who is a grea t a thlete and a real
sport . . . to our beloved Coach M. E.
"Pinky" BERRYHILL this 1954 PETIT
JEAN is respectfully dedicated.
MURIL ERVIN BERRYHILL was born May 4, 1911,
at Rochester, Texas. After graduating from the
Knox City (Texas) High School and working for two
years, he entered Harding College and received the
B.A. degree in history in 1934. He was an outstanding
athlete during his college days and was president
of his class for the last three years.
His graduate training was received in George
Peabody College, Nashville, Tennessee. In 1937 he
was granted the M.A. degree in history and that fall
he returned to his Alma Mater as coach and history
teacher. By 1942, when his education and work with
Harding College was interrupted by World War II, he
had almost completed requirements for the Ph.D.
degree in physical education.
During 1942-44 he was a civilian instructor in
the United States Army Air Corps and during 1944-46
he served in the United States Navy. Since Septem-
ber of 1946 he has been Professor of Physical Education
and Health and Chairman of the Department at
Harding College.
Professor Berryhill is a deacon in the College
church of Christ. He assisted in the organization of
Camp Wyldewood and has served on its Board of
Directors. He is founder and director of the IILittJe
Major Leaguers" in Searcy. He holds membership
in both the state and national Association for Health,
Physical Education and Recreation and in the College
Physical Education Association. He is a member of
Pi Gamma Mu, Phi Delta Kappa and Kappa Phi
Kappa.
In August following his graduation from college
in 1934 "Pinky" married his college sweetheart
and classmate - Rheba Stout of Russellville, Alabama.
The Berryhills have four children - Donnie,
Nita Jean, Dickie and David.

FOREWORD .. .
There are very few real memories of a college year that
can be photographed and printed on the pages of a yearbook.
Pictures of chapel, meal lines, and club functions are taken,
but they become worthwhile only because of the small but
important events they recall- the ideas you gained in chapel,
the friends you met in meal lines, and the shocked moment
when you fell into a cold creek on a club outing. You, as an
individual, will have to fill in these pages with remembrances of
your part of the 1953-54 year at Harding.
Some things you have learned - some things you have
forgotten-and it is the purpose of this book to try and record
for future enjoyment perhaps the most eventful year of your
life.
Hoping this meeting of ideas with printer's ink and paper
has in some measure accomplished its purpose, we present
this 1954 PETIT JEAN to the student body for whom it was
created.

...... ADMINISTRA nON-AUDITORIUM BUILDING
THE CAMPUS ...
This year marks a special year for Harding College. In terms of
years - it is the thirtieth year this institution has existed under that
name, since the merger of Arkansas Christian College and Harper
College at Morrilton, Arkansas, in 1924, and it is also the twentieth year
for it to be located on the present site, having moved to Searcy in 1934.
Since that time succeeding classes have seen the campus take on a
completely new appearance.
Perhaps more than any other, the new Administration Building
with its modern, attractive auditoriums, offices, and classrooms is
symbolic of the changes we, the class of '54, have seen on the Harding
campus. When we arrived as Freshmen, Godden Hall, despite the
fact that it appeared ready to collapse, was the center of campus activities.
Here we went to chapel, which was divided into two sections
because seating was inadequate; we waited eagerly for the mail here;
and here many of us received our introduction to dormitory life.
When we returned for our sophomore year, all that remained of
Godden was a huge pile of dirt; this year we walked to the College
church each day for chapel; we went to plays in the Academy's auditorium
- and we looked forward to the day when the new Ad Building
would be completed.
By the time our Junior year began, the new campus was complete
except for the American Studies Building, the Bell Tower, and a few
relatively minor details such as sidewalks.
Today the Bell Tower, erected with material from Godden Hall
and containing the bell once housed in Godden, exists as a memorial of
the campus of the past. ... But serving as a stronger link with the past
is the spirit of Harding which has not changed.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ...
Though seldom seen on our campus and little known
by students, the board of trustees are men devoted to the
precepts of Christianity who contribute liberally of their
time, energy, and ideas to assure the efficient administration
of the college. It is through the interest of these busy
m en in our college that policies and principles are determined
and H arding continues to m a ke progress as an
institution of Christian education .

"
WITH the growth of a college the responsibility
of the administrators increases many fold and
especially that of the executive. For this reason,
Dr. Benson has added to his staff of executive
assistants capable men who will provide the energ-y
and leadership he has sho\\'n these many years in
service to the college. Working with them arc the
other indespensible members of the team who are
both guides and friends to those who will know
them.

ALSO AT THE beginning of each year , students who
need financial assistance arrange with the work coordinator
for jobs. After standing in lines for hours
and filling out many forms, jobs are assigned in the
dining hall, student center, laundry, the block plant,
and on the campus grounds. All agree that working
while attending college helps them to develop into mature

THE FRESHMEN ...
IT COULD 'have been due to an exceptional crop of new
students, or perhaps to a new wave of enthusiasm that permeated
campus activities this year, but whatever the cause,
the Freshman Class proved one of the most progressive and
promising classes to enter Harding of recent years. No
sooner had the flurry of registration week subsided than a
new rush was on, this time to elect Freshman class officers.
Banners appeared over night proclaiming "Hayes for President"
and "What We Need is Rain and Richardson!" Evidently
this timely appeal proved good psychology because,
as predicted, this new class found capable leadership in Dick
Richardson, and he in turn found his way to the fish pond
with the aid of cheerful supporters.
Their Committee of Recommendations and Suggestions
to the Student Council made thirty suggestions during the
year and received recognition in Chapel, the Bison, and from
the Student Council. Flowers and get-well cards cheered
a large number of classmates, and new freshmen received
letters of welcome at the second semester and were honored
by a reception party in· the Emerald Room. Big events included
a Hobo Party and spring outing for the class and as
a reminder of their interest in Harding, they contributed
a gift everyone could enjoy.

THE SOPHOMORES ...
REJOICING that they were no longer "green
freshmen," one hundred forty-seven sophomores
vigorously began the year's activties. The first
class meeting resulted in the election of Winfred
Wright as president, C. L. Cox as vice-president,
and Betty Nossaman as secretary-treasurer. Jeanne
Bankston was chosen representative to the Student
Association.
Since busy schedules ruined the plans for a
fall party, the outing at Camp Tahkodah on April
12 was really a big event. Providing transportation
were: Tommie Potter, Harry Boggs, class sponsor
Bob Meyers, and Jim Smith who took fifteen in the
back of his pick-up truck. At Tahkodah the group
enjoyed hiking, playing softball and football, and
eating the food prepared by Jane Claxton and Joann
Hartman, also, unforgettable arc such moments
as that when Ralph Odom gracefully fell
into the water or that when Harry discovered a flat
tire.
The class project for the year was purchasing
a phonograph and assorted records for the dining
hall.

CLIFF GANUS,
Class Sponsor
THE JUNIORS ...
DESPITE the weather, the Junior-Senior Banquet was not
"all wet." However, one might say it was rather "grccn"­
but that was to be expected on the day following St. Patrick's
Day - especially when the program plainly read "An Irish
Holiday" and "Ken O'Noland, Master of Ceremonies." Included
on the evening's agenda was the address by Dean
Sears, Charles Pittman's "squish, squish" reading of the
Senior class history, Jane Sutherlin reading the Junior composition-the
Senior prophesy, Norman Hughes announcing
the Senior will, and several Irish numbers sung rather unconvincingly
by the Junior quartet. And then there were
the problems of place cards and suitable "dinner music,"
but all was well as it ended well. Naturally the banquet was
the Big Event of the year for the Juniors, but they did have
a fall outing - on the Monday the drought was broken.
Not to be bothered by a little thing like rain, the class merely
changed the outing site from Latona to Wyldewood. Here
everyone, including the girls, played football, not to mention
the usual hiking, softball games, and eating. It was wonderful
to see how Cliff.Ganus, the class sponsor for the second
year, fitted in with these activitics - cspccially the latter
onc·named. And by afternoon thc sky cleared and thc class
probably went on record as the first to cnjoy two outing
sites in one day, driving to Latona for further mountain
climbing - and eating.
As school closed this year, the members of the Junior
Class often found themselves thinking, "Next ycar, we'll
bc the Seniors; we'll be the ones who receive privileges, who
are given banquets ... and who will leave with tears in our
eyes."

ClASS OF '54
JOE PRYOR,
Class Sponsor
THE SENIORS . . .
CLASS MEETINGS began early in the year with the election
of Owen D. to pilot the Class of '54 through the most important
year of college. And it didn't take long to begin
class functions. A fall outing was held at Latona on October
19, that is, after they all got together. Seems some took the
long way going instead of coming. The day turned out to
be a birthday celebration with three classmates blowing
out the candles on a surprise cake. Freedom Forum and
Pledge vVeek left little time for class functions, but in early
November elass members again got together at the Ford
Foundation banquet in the Emerald Room for a delicious
meal. Lack of more functions until mid-March proved that
the last year of college is the busiest, but despite a sudden
change to cold weatheL the Lodge at Camp Wyldewood provided
shelter for thirty hungry Seniors on their second outing.
The fun of that evening was continued the next week
at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and all will remember the
memories the class history recalled. .
The class of '54 is the transition class at Harding. There
are recollections of the old campus centered around Godden,
the building years, and the new beauty of the campus. Being
the smallest graduating class in several years was a little
hard to accept at first, but the compensation of graduating
from a fully accredited institution will be more appreciated
in future years.
SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Owen Olbricht, President; Mary Ann
Whitaker, Secretary; Leon Sanderson, Vice-President.

YEAR the Regina social club instituted an
to th~ senior who most nearly typified the
of Harding College. This year the senior
has chosen GRACE McREYNOLDS as the
who throughout her four years at Harding
shown that spirit of excellence and service,
te~np'~red with humility, which characterizes the
Halrdirlg spiri t.
For her cheerful willingness to serve others
her humble and modest attitude in doing so,
1954 Senior Class honors Gracie.

WE WALKED the three blocks to Sunday morning worship at the College Church.
CHRIST OUR GOAL . ..
THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S program was directed by
Joe Lewis.
BROTHER Yohe's job wasn't always pleasant but
he was.
IN OUR world that we know here at Harding, perhaps
we have the greatest opportunity we'll ever
have for spiritual growth. This is a place where
the dreams of young Christians are filled in a
greater service to himself, to humanity, and to
God. Daily chapel devotions cause us to pause
from our busy lives to turn our thoughts to God,
to renew our purposes and ideals of living. Our
Bible lessons everyday help to keep our eyes on
that steadfast light that sometimes may grow dim,
but glows forth more brightly as the fleeting days
of Harding life go by. Then our teachers, \yho
seem to know the uneven pathway before us, who'
live Christianity everyday, who have intense interest
and tireless energy, show students what a
love for Christ can really mean.
These are the things that draw people to Harding.
It's not the fine buildings or location but the
over all atmosphere that dominates Our sports, activities
and classes. Services such as Monday night
meeting have made many decide to dedicate their
lives for greater service in the Lord's work.
70

THERE WAS A RELIGIOUS
INTEREST FOR ALL . ..
OF THE MANY opportunities in which students
could practice their Christian ideals, the COUNTY
FARM offered one of the most rewarding. Each
Sunday afternoon a group of students visited the
elderly residents at the farm and enabled them to
hear a lesson from the Bible as well as hymns sung
in a scriptual manner.
The traditional MONDAY NIGHT MEET­
INGS, in which the Christian attitude toward the
problems of everyday life was discussed, proved
well worth an hour of time to all who attended.
A new group, the MISSION STUDY CLASS,
was conducted early each Wednesday evening at
the College Church. It provided insight into the
problems of evangelistic work in both America
and foreign countries.
The SIGN LANGUAGE CLASS continued to
be of interest to a number of students. The purpose
of the class is to make it possible for its members
to teach Christianity to the deaf.
A quiet pause to commune with God, whether
in the middle or at the close of the day, served to
renew devotion to Him and love for human associates.
VESPERS brought serenity to close the
day's activities.
•
TilE WEATHER wasn't always so enjoyable on
the walk to the County Farm.
MONDAY NIGHT MEETINGS were well
planned and attended.
BROTHER CANNON had charge of the Mission
Study Class.
BOB ANDERSON had some apt pupils in the Sign
Language Class.
VESPERS ended the day with a feeling of closeness
to God.

STUDENT PREACHERS ...
" ... woe is me, if I preach not the gospel!"
APPROXIMATELY 150 young men at Harding
feel as the apostle Paul did concerning their debt
to those who do not know of the Savior. These
young Christians have the zeal of youth coupled
with the inspiration of great Godly teachers in the
graduate and undergraduate levels of work. This
combination gives many small Arkansas churches
the opportunity to have preaching each Sunday
and gives the students opportunity to preach regularly.
In addition to the regular instruction in classes.
the students preachers have many opportunities
to speak on the campus - in the dining hall
services, at vespers, at the county farm, at Monday
night meeting, and at the preacher's meeting each
Saturday night.
~he student preachers probably do more to
spread the spirit of Harding to nearby communities
than any other single group on the campus. Their
willingness to leave at the crack of dawn (even
earlier in some cases) and drive a great many
miles, often at a financial loss, is a real demonstration
of the Christian spirit.
GLENN BURGESS preached for the West Point
congregation.
AND Virgil Weare led the song service.

VISITING WOMEN renewed friendships over tea.
THE LECTURESHIP ...
TilE SIXTEENTH through the nineteenth of November
marked Harding's thirtieth annual lectureship.
It was one of the largest in the history
of the college as over five hundred visitors daily
filled the large auditorium and over fifteen hundred
attended the closing address. These visitors
came from twenty states, Africa and Canada. Forty·fi
ve ministers were on the four day program
speaking on the theme of "Biblical Prophecy." A
hi/(h point of the lectureship was the annual preacher's
dinner at the Rendezvous; the speaker was
Homer P. Reeves, Dallas, Texas. With the help
of the Southwestern Christian College from Terrill,
Tcxas, Marshall Keeble climaxed and concluded
the lectureship. Dr. W. B. West, head of the Harding
Bible Department was in charge of the planining
and was instrumental in promoting the suc­
Cess of the 1953 lectureship series.
MALE ALUMNI preferred coffee.

MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS . ..
THE HARDING CHORALE, remembered by most.
as the large chorus, met on Tuesday and Friday
nights throughout the year. The group, under the
direction of Prof. Kenneth Davis, provided an inspiring
program of hymns during the lectureships.
In May, they made a three day trip, singing in several
towns in Arkansas and Missouri. All members
of the group have enjoyed the fellowship and
informal nature of the rehearsals.

week-end trips, several chapel programs, and a
lectureship program. In addition, a weekly radio
program "Hymns From Harding," was recorded
on the campus. This program is now heard on
forty-five stations throughout the country. The
groups, under the direction of Kenneth Davis, Jr.,
practiced from one to two five afternoons each
week.

ALPHA PSI
HARDING STUDENTS who are interested in dramatics
may earn points for doing various kinds of
work connected with the drama - stage work,
lightin1\", make-up, gathering properties, prompting,
ushering, and acting. Until one has worked
enough to amass one hundred points, he is considered
an apprentice or beginner in the techniques
of drama. When he has earned the necessary
points, shown sufficient interest, and displayed a
cooperative attitude, he is invited to become a fullfledged
member of Campus Players.

CAMPUS PLAYERS APPRENTICES
ALPHA PSI OMEGA is a national honorary dramatic
fraternity which seeks to recognize outstanding
work in college dramatics. Harding's cast is
the Eta Omega Cast of Alpha Psi Omega. To be
eligible one must have shown unusual ability and
interest and, as a further requirement, must have
directed a one act play. The cast has recently set
a precedent of presenting one major production
each year in which, when possible, only members
of Alpha Psi Omega participate. This year's presentation
was Menotti's "The Medium," staring
Marian Rawlings, Pat Rowe, and Meredith Thorn.
In collaboration with Campus Players they pre-
sent, each year, a silver key to the best actor, the
best actress, the best character actor, the best character
actress, the best backstage worker, and the
best director of one act plays.
One act plays were numerous and varied' this
year, providing new students interested in dramatics
with the experience needed for larger productions.
Campus Player productions of the year included
two English plays, "Mr. Pim Passes By"
and "The Importance of Being Earnest" by A. A.
Milne, and "Beyond the Horizon" by the American
playwright, Eugene O'Neill.
MR. PIM queitly passed by, dropping the equivalent
of a bombshell in a sedate British home.
CALIGULA, the half crazy and wholly cruel Roman
emperor in The Robe, was convincingly portrayed
by Meredith Thorn.

DEBATERS: Evan Ulrey, Edsel Hughes, Pat Fogarty,

THE DEBATE CLUB, though not regularly m~eting,
had quite an active year. In December, the debaters
journeyed to the Forensic tournament in Fayetteville
to discuss the question "Resolved: The United States
Should Adopt a Policy of Free Trade." Later Duane
McCampbell and Edsel Hughes, accompanied by Evan
Ulrey, debated at Henderson State Teachers College
in Arkadelphia. The climax of the year's activity was
the Arkansas State Debate Tourney to which Harding
was host. Here Duane McCampbell won the oratorical
contest, and with the aid of Edsel Hughes reached
the finals.

The POETRY CLUB is composed of those who
are interested in writing poetry. In the regular Tuesday
night meetings members of the club presented
and critized each other's poetry. A further activity
this year was a chapel program exhibiting several of
their poems enhanced by pantomines. Polly Williams
was the club sponsor.
A quite active club open to all those interested
in photography is the CAMERA CLUB. The activities
of the year included a camera trip to Petit Jean; the

IRC members started off the year of 1953-54 with
a vigorous and colorful campaign that ended in a
hot and tense convention of a hundred and cleven
delegates, who watched Gene Rainey, Al Petrich,
and Jennie Schoolfield emerge as victorious officers.
Feeling ran high in the hour that Dr. Charles
Kenney was unanimously re-elected faculty advisor
of the IRC.
The first big project of the year was the Mock
Security Council Program. The subject under discussion
was the Korean peace conference. The
script for the program was written by Dr. Kenney.
IRC members put away their school books
when they represented Harding in the second Mid­
South Model United Nations at David Lipscomb
College on February twenty-fifth. Competing with
fifteen other colleges and universities, our delegates
made outstanding contributions. Gene
Rainey and Dick Richardson appeared on TV and
radio programs respectively. Harding sent a resolutiop
commending Lipscomb on her courage and
hard work involved in the planning of the Model
United Nations.
Harding showed her great school spirit in the
form of a pep rally to send off the delegation. It
was a high compliment payed to them and it was
appreciated by the whole group.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA ...
AS USUAL, the Florence Cathcart Chapter had a
great year in 1953-54. The year began wi th a
membership drive which was highlighted by a
chapel program. Few will forget this "chapel program
in a chapel program." This resulted in a
highly active group of fifty-five future teachers
who are members of the Arkansas and ational
Education Association.
Under the guidance of President Ken Noland
and Bob Coburn, who was chairman of the program
committee, the chapter had an interesting
meeti ng each month.
In October a group of FT A'ers attended the
annual FTA luncheon in Hot Springs which was
held in connection with the AEA Convention.
The big event in the FT A year, of course, is
the state convention in Little Rock. The Harding
delegation arrived early fully armed with posters
and canis supporting their candidates for state offire.
After the campaigning and voting was
over, the results were identical to those of the past
two years - Harding was victorious! Ken Noland
was the state vice-president and Jeanne Bankston
the college member at-large.

COVERING campus activities, wntmg the news,
and meeting deadlines are only a part of the life
of the members of the "fourth estate" as they put
out Harding's student weekly, The Bison. Headaches
attach themselves to editors as things do not
go smoothly. However, there is glory for the hard
work when award time comes around each year.
This year, the Bison won the sweepstakes at the
Arkansas College Press Association meet in Clarksville,
April 2-3. The sweepstakes award goes to
the paper winning the most individual awards.
As an added activity of the Bison, the All-Star
Basketball game is sponsored by the paper. This
year's winner was the National league. At the
close of the year with the job well done the staff
celebrates with a final get-together, usually a fish

THE PETIT JEAN ...
AS COULD BE expected, the work to produce the
annual record of the year needed the contribution
of time and effort on the part of many. Whether
the energy put into reaching this goal has been
well spent or not will be determined by its value
to you now and in future years.
And perhaps here is the best place to include
the editor's thanks to one and all who had any part
in the completion of this book, to those who helped
by keeping appointments for pictures as well as
those who contributed time and copy or pictures
needed.

STUDENT ASSOCIATION .. .
THIS has been another fine year of work for the
Student Association. This group of sixteen people
who compose the executive council, two from each
class (including the. graduate class and the academy),
three officers, and a faculty advisor, met on
alternate Tuesday nights to discuss the various
problems of campus life.
While much of the council's work was quiet
and not noticed by many students, it has rendered
a real service. There are representatives from the
council on each of the faculty committees, so that
student viewpoint actually influences major decisions
and policies in an organized way.
Perhaps the highlight activity of the year
for the council was the pep rally given in behalf
of the United States Delegation who represented
Harding at the Mid-South Model United Nations
in Nashville, Tennessee.
As in years past, it has been the council's objective
to serve Harding - both the faculty and
student body - by providing an instrument by

can be openly and freely discussed. The ultimate
aim, of course, is to make Harding a happier and
better place, and to maintain the high Christian
standards that have always been characteristic ot

C. L. GANUS, SR.
MANY OF OUR actIvItIes take place around the Ganus
Student Center, and yet old students as well as new are not
aware of the many ~ontibutions made to this college that
prompted the naming of this building in honor of Mr. Clifton
L. Ganus, Sr.
Brother Ganus has served for several years as Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, but has further shown his interest in
Harding and its students by establishing a $2,000 student
loan fund and offering $100 each year to the boy and girl
with the highest scholastic rating. In addition, he was the
largest single donor toward the building named for him.
Recognizing his contributions to Christian Education,
we, the students, want to express here our apprecation for all
that he has done for Harding and for us.

MRS. ARMSTRONG served at the All-Girl Club
tea.
THERE ARE twelve men's social clubs and thirteen
women's social clubs chartered at Harding. Some
have existed almost since the college was founded,
while others have been organized in more recent years
as the enrollment increased. Each student has the
opportunity to belong to a club if he or she wishes
to do so, with membership in each club regulated by
the annual enrollment to insure approximately equal
size among clubs.
To the newcomer on campus the long list of
social clubs merely creates a bewildering array of
names, colors, and symbols and only by much observation
and many questions does the solution evolve.
During the six-week period at the beginning of
each semester new students and old have the opportunity
to become acquainted before club choices are
made. This year the girls' clubs had open house in
the dormitory and later an all-girl reception at the
Rendezvous to meet the new girls, but the boys were
content to advertise through club get-togethers and
"bull sessions."
GETTING acquainted at the tea.
New students turned in their club preferences,
club meetings were held, and bids went out on a
Monday morning. Excitement grew as students returning
from a weekend at home crowded the student
center in order to get their mail, and instructions
and special pledging equipment were passed out that
evening from solemn pledge masters. Tuesday morning
began at an early hour for all, and an endless
number of hats, pins, jackets, and "extras" in colorful
display were seen by the larger-than-usual number
of students at breakfast.
Pledge week is sometimes as hectic for the old
club members as the pledges ... having to get up at
6 a.m. to take them to breakfast, trying to look stern
when it's such a temptation to laugh, and racking the
brain for chores to keep them busy. Of course there
are conpensations on both sides - probably more
venetian blinds are dusted that week than all year
combined, and the dating season is definitely "on."
GRACIE had fun -
Yvonne got wet!
BIRD'S EYE VIEW of the Sub T cabin.

AND IT ALL BEGAN WITH A BID ...
DURING pledge week the pledges had two con·
solations: "It can't last forever," and "Next yeal
I'll be the pledgem'oster." After the initiations,
club activities settled down into the usual routine
of parti e~, banquets, and outings with an occasional
business meeting thrown in for good measure.
"IT SLIDES DOWN so-o-o gently, but ..."
LEAST marbles roll easily,
PLEDGE week come the square meals.
- the climax to a long hike.

PETIT JEAN QUEEN NOMINEES ...
CANDIDATES for the honors of yearbook queen,
nominated by the men's social clubs, were exceptionally
outstanding this year. There were twelve
juniors and seniors to choose from on the basis of
beauty, personality, and friendliness as they were
formally presented to the student body for voting
during a chapel period. The three girls receiving
the most votes remained finalists for the queen
honors, with the final vote determining which one
would be queen and the others attendants.

MAY QUEEN NOMINEES .. .
SINCE May Fete is sponsored by a girls' social
club. it is fitting the nominees for May Queen
honors be sponsored by the girls' clubs. Each
club selects a girl to represent them and the candidates
are presented to the student body during a
chapel program to select the top three contestants.
A final voting on these three then determines who
will reign as Queen of May, one of the most important
events of the college year.

SOCIAL CLUBS also have a part in the selection
of representatives for the May Court each year,
with each m en 's club providing an escort for a
girls' club representative. The pastel dresses of
the girls' and formal dress of the men furnish a
striking background for the queen's throne.

CLUB ACTIVITIES started early for the Alpha Phi's
this year with a weiner roast and watermelon feed
at Bee Rock, and pledges got their first view of the
same locality when they were initiated at Inspiration
Point. They enjoyed "an excellent meal" at the home
of their sponsor, and he in turn was presented with a
club jacket to the tune of "For He's a Jolly Good
Fellow." The fun being cannibals at the Legion
Hut banquet in "Cannibal's Paradise" and the annual
spring outing to Petit Jean we re other events of the
year. along with club nominee Mary Ann Tonkery

DURING PLEDGE WEEK the sight of so many black
string ties made one wonder if Harding had imported
some Southern gentlemen, but they were just eleven
Cavalier club pledges with their best manners forward.
This has been a very profitable year for the Cavaliers,
not only in their increased membership, but for the
worthwhile work they contributed in painting new
swings for the campus and adding to the student loan
fund of the club. The Terrace Room of the Mayfair,
decorated in club colors of black and gold, was the
scene of their annual winter banquet, with club sweetheart
Martha Clayton present, and the spring outing
to Petit Jean was an outstanding event of the year's
activities.

BEING a smaller club than the year before has its
advantages as well as its disadvantages. For instance,
the Delta Chis found it was much roomier on
the floor of Mrs. Watts apartment than is usual at
slumber parti~s, and maybe Mary could add a few
more comments about the evening at this point, not
to mention the Chili supper before retiring. Those
who stayed between semesters to attend will recall
the "Artists' Ball" banquet theme and the colorful
decorations of the evening. And there probably hasn't
been a more surprised "Sweetie Pie of Del ta Chi" than
one Ken Perrin. This honor came on the spring outing
to Petit Jean, the earliest of the year, on April
12, after four lost and hungry kids joined the group
for lunch at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A word here
- there are several girls in the dormitory who appreciate
the abundance of food left over from Delta
Chi outings.

EMERALD ROOM PARTIES seem to be a specialty
with the Delta Iotas. Anyway that's how they began
this year's activities, and seems the line "Delta Iotas
and their dates were:" is often seen in the Bison social
column. Initiation at Bee Rock produced seven new
members to share in stag outings and frequent club
get~togethers. "Garden in the Moonlight" was the
annual banquet theme, held at the Rendezvous on
January 15. An event of the evening was the presentation
of a dozen red roses to club queen Jerry Chesshir,
no doubt in added recognition for her receiving
student body vote as finalist for Petit Jean Queen.
Blanchard Springs, already well known to most club
members, was again the scenic spot for their annual
spring outing.

ELEVEN NEW MEMBERS were initiated into the
"Frater fraternity" on a stag outing to Wyldewood
and became members of a club that stresses high
standards of morality and Christianity continuously.
Their annual winter banquet on January 22, saw
the Mayfair decorated for a dinner "Down in Dixie"
and featured entertainment by a trio plus Gregg
Rhodes, talented sponsor. Stag outings and basketball
games with other clubs all furthered friendships.
the purpose for which the club was organized. as did
the annual spring outing to Camp Tahkodah. The
Frater Sodalis were responsible for the badly needed
replacements of new bulletin boards for the dining

STAG OUTINGS were a Galaxy specialty this year
- two were held at Hobo Island and one at Bee Rock.
The latter location was also the site of the initiation,
informal of course, as any Galaxy pledge could tell
you. The spring outing which was held at Blanchard
Springs, April 12, furnished a day of fun and was
definitely not a stag affair. Banquet themes are at a
premium during the winter months, most of them
having been used many times before, so for their banquet
on February 4 the Galaxys went back in ancient
history. In fact, the usually modern Rendezvous was
hardly distinguishable from scenes found in Greek
Mythology, and club sweetheart, Mary Lou Johnson,
looked lovely in a vivid red formal for the occasion.

WHO COULD FORGET the GATA Muds? Certainly
not their pledge dates who heard,
"If you're donna tiss me, tiss me twick. If
you're not donna tiss me, tay so. Don't
leave me tanding here so long on tiptoes
tause I'm so tired and teepy."
And perhaps this was heard more often than usual
because the GATAs had their share of the pledges
this year - an even dozen, with four Pats just to
make things more complicated. In the early fall they
began their social functions with a steak fry at the
Little Red School House. At Christmas, they joined
with the Galaxys to go caroling and for a party
afterward. Then came the banquet, which can only
be described as "A Rhapsody in Blue." Spring activities
included the annual outing and an alumni tea.

THE HHH CLUB project this year was one that was
enjoyed both by them and the people at the County
Farm. They gave a Christmas Party for the elderly
residents there with all the refreshments and gifts
that make young and old love a party. And as a
further service of the group, they volunteered a day
of work for helping at Camp Wyldewood on May 17.
On February 13, the Mayfair Hotel was decorated
with the traditional red and white for a Valentine
banquet, and members and thier dates heard Burton
Coffman as speaker for the evening. Their annual
spring outing was held May 10 at Petit Jean State
Park.

"DO YOU TillNK IT'LL RAIN?" During the closing
days of April this is the usual greeting between members
of the Ju Go Ju Club, as anxious May Fete
sponsors. The first day of May is The Big Day when
the Queen, elected by the student body, is crowned,
and when, after a month's practice, thirty-two girls
gracefully wind the May Pole. The Ju Go Jus' social
activities for the year began at the home of their
sponsor, Mrs. Cline Sears, with the formal initiation
of ten new members. Highlights were a banquet, in
the style of "The Old South," given at the Rendezvous,
February 6, and an outing at Petit Jean, May 10, but
also unforgetable are such things as cooking a spaghetti
supper, making popcorn balls, and having club
meetings in Armstrong Hall - in Mrs. Beck's apartment,
that is.

"THOSE STOCKINGS!" The six pledges who became
Tri·Kappas in their sixth year of existence w ill certainly
remember pledge week w ith mixed emotions.
They wore gold and grey stockings through the entire
week, and met quite a few club officers by introducing
themselv:es with, IIWilI you please autograph my key?"
Memorable events of the year include celebrating the
club birthday on October 15, an impressive formal
initiation and numerous other meetings in the home
of Mrs. Ganus, singing the club song, the banquet
trip "Along the Milky W ay," and the spring outing
to Petit J ean. As their project of the year, with the
assistance of the Alpha Phi Kappas, a silver tea service
was placed in the library .

ONE OF the Koinonia traditions is to give their
pledges a "warmingtt welcome into the club, and this
year was no exception, as all new members will agree.
The initiations, being informal, were held on stag
outings. The 'KOIN-TV "Kiddie Show" furnished entertainment
for their annual banquet held at Roberson's
Rendezvous on March 6, and an event of the
evening was the choice of Peggy Futrell as club
sweetheart. You can recognize Peggy wearing the
white sweater with the miniature Koinonia emblem,
her gift of the evening. Petit Jean State Park was
the site of the spring outing, and other club activities
included playing basketball and football games, competing
in the Track and Field Day Program, and last,
but far from least - serenading the girls' dorms,
with Sammy Floyd singing the solos.

"FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, and High Aspirations."
Gu ided by this motto, the Lambda Sigma club this
year provided a variety of activities for its members.
Returning members started the college year with a
splash when they took over the swimming pool for
their first meeting, and their gold-jacketed pledges
were seen everywhere - at the bargain counter, providing
musical interludes, on line-cutting patrol. Horsing
around at business meetings, stag outings at
Wyldewood, Beauregard Bugleboy's poem at the Okeefenakee
Swamp Party, having their club queen, Nancy
McDaniel, gain May Queen Finalist honors, and the
spring outing to Petit Jean made it a full year for
the Lambda Sigmas.

TIDS MIGHT be called a year of revolution for the
L. C. Club since they revised their constitution;
elected a neW" sponsor, Miss Lucretia Farrar; and
initiated a total of twelve new members. But revolutions
or not, it has been a year of fun. In November,
the group enjoyed a weiner roast at Bee Rock. On
January 23, "Graucho Marx," otherwise known as
Hubert Franks, entertained them at the Mayfair
Hotel with his "You Bet Your Life Show." In
March the traditional Spanish Supper was relished
and on May 3 the girls with their dates went to Petit
Jean for a day of fun. The annual club project is
placing the composite panel of Seniors in the Science
Hall.

THE PLACE was a small, dimly lighted cafe; in one
corner of the room a gypsy sat telling fortunes; violin
music played softly in the background. In ract, one
would hardly realize that it was the MEA banquet at
the Roberson's Rendezvous. Nor would one believe
that these exotic creatures were the same girls who,
dressed in heavy coats, scarfs, and mittens, had sung
Christmas carols only a rew weeks in the past. Other

FOR THEIR WINTER banquet the Mohicans stayed
in character and turned the Rendezvous into a big
"Indian Pow-wow." Their spring outing was held at
Camp Tahkodah, and other memorable experiences
include two stag outings - one at Camp Wyldewood
where they raided the site of another club's stag outing,
and one a mile south of Bee Rock on the Little
Red River. This year Ortell Armstrong was chosen
club queen. The Mohicans are proud of their undefeated
team in basketball and football competition
with other men's clubs, as well as participation in the
Track and Field Day activities. Project for the year
was the contribution of the new sidewalk from East
Dorm to the walk leading from Armstrong Hall, which
all East Dormers have learned to appreciate.

NEW CLUB JACKETS appeared on campus this
year in the form of blue and white OEGE colors. Confidentially,
there were only three, but the owners
were seen in so many places there seemed to be more.
The OEGEs also had a new sponsor this year, along
with their seven pledges, to get acquainted with. Thi~
project was furthered by a slumber party in the home
of Mrs. Cannon and at special club meetings, such as
one featuring a waffle supper. Overcoming the largerthan-usual
number of difficulties, including the
weather, made their "Mardi Gras" banquet even more
a success, and one to be often recalled. The popular
site for outings, Petit Jean State Park, was their
destination on the spring outing.

GHOSTS, GOBLINS, WITCHES, and weird noises introduced
the prospective Omega Phi members to
pledge week. What could be more appropriate than
a Halloween party to replace the usual acceptance
tea? Completing pledge week, two initiation ceremonies
were held - the first a mock initiation and the
second formal and "for real." For their banquet the
girls and their dates spent "An Evening in Paris."
However, they returned to Arkansas to have their
spring outing at Camp Tahkodah. Closing the year's
socia l whirl was the club's traditional fish fry.

A MEMORABLE DAY for the entire school is the one
when the Regina Club presents the "Harding Spirit
Award." Each year this honor goes to the senior
whom the members of the senior class believe to be
the most deserving. At a Mexican supper in Cathcart
kitchen, the Reginas proved quite versatile - not
only were they able to cook the food, they were able
to eat it. And on the day they initiated their nine
new pledges, the Reginas also gained the youngest
club member in their history in the person of Beverly
Jo Pryor. In December, the group enjoyed a Christ·
mas party at Bessie Mae Pryor's home, and on Feb·
ruary 27, the password was "Ship Ahoy" as they dined
in style aboard the good ship Rendezvous. The spring
outing was held at Petit Jean, May 17.
113

TEN SIGMA TAU pledges were initiated at Hobo
Island and returned to their sponsor's home for food
after the "fun," to begin an eventful year. Not only
did the ir activities include the usual swimming parties
and stag outings to Wyldewood, but the ambitious
Sigma Tau's were also respohsible for "When Shakespeare's
Gentlement Get Together," the one-act play
enjoyed so much in chapel. And in case you wondered
who provided identification tags for visiting groups
on campus, they did, as their club project. Betty
Helm was chosen club queen and proved a wise choice
not only because she gained P.J. Queen finals, but
could bake a good cake as well. Honoring departing
member Cecil May at a farewell party, their Valentine
banquet at the Roseann Restaurant, and spring outing
at Petit Jean were other high points of the year.

IF ASKED what brought the greatest satisfaction
and enjoyment among club activities this year probably
every Sub T would reply without hesitation -
"Finishing our log cabin!" A Sub T seen on campus
on a Monday was a rare thing - either because they
were gone to Pocahontas or were hard to work on
their cabin. It was the scene of many stag outings
and finished in time for their Frontier Days banquet
on February 20, with the weather adding an extra
rugged touch to the event. Other events of the year
included pledge initiation, the spring outing, and
football and basketball games with other clubs. They
joined with the WHCs in buying a trophy case for
the Student Center for their year's project.

ON THE NIGHT of Febraury 5, all faithful TNT
members turned into cowboys and took their "gals"
to a party at the "TNT Ranch," alias the Legion Hut.
In their natural characters members enjoyed three
other social events - a Hamburger party at Cecil
Beck's home, a party honoring the club given by Dr.
Joe Pryor, and one held in the Emerald noom February
1. April 19 was the date, and Camp Tahkodah
the scene of their spring outing, and Camp Wyldewood
the lodging for the night at the ir initiation ceremony.
Purchasing badly needed song books for

for the year.

THE TOFEBT CLUB might be known as the "most
partying club" on campus - having had at least six
parties this year, not including the formal initiation,
the spring outing at Petit Jean, and the annual slumber
parties. Perhaps the most unusual of these
parties was the traditional Tin Can Supper. The
theme of the winter banquet. held at the Mayfair
Hotel, was "A Holiday in Mexico." The other parties
were a pie supper, a Halloween party, a Christmas
party at the home of Mrs. Jack Wood Sears. and a
club dinner. The Tofebt's project was making and
contributing toward repairs in the Infirmary.

AS THE YEARS pass, the Tri-Sigma Delta Club's
project is one which will grow in size and beauty -
it was setting out three magnolia trees near the
girls' dormitories. "Sugar" might be credited with
suggesting this project because one night in club
meeting he drawled, "Y'all, ah'm homesick fo' Mississippi."
Entergetic Tri-Sigs can also be credited with
a iding in the Heart Fund drive, as they made personal
visits to solicit funds. Outstanding occasions for the
club this year have been the initiation, a stag outing
at Camp Tahkodah, and the spring outing at Petit
Jean. But regular meetings have also been un forgetable
- especially those held banquet style.

AS THE OLDEST girls' social club, the WHCs proudly
wear the name of \Voodson Harding Comrades, after
Mrs. J. N. Armstrong. These fun-loving girls cooked
up both the fried chicken and "fixin's" for their
annual "Country Supper" and ingenious initiation
stunts for the sixteen new pledges, with the atmosphere
of Halloween adding a spookier-than-usual touch
to their informal initiation this year. Meetings were
highlighted by numerous parties and suppers, including
their annual progressive supper. Halloween Party
for pledges, and bunking parties at the lovely home
of Mrs. W est. 'l'wo projects were on their agenda
this year - "peanut week" for the dormitory girls
and joining with the Suh T's to buy a trophy case
for the Student Center. Camp Tahkodah was their

ATHLETIC DIRECTORS KEPT SPORTS INTERESTS AT
PEAK PARTICIPATION . ..
APPROXIMATELY 200 students participated in
the intra-mural program at Harding this year.
Football, basketball, baseball, tennis, volleyballall
these and other sports contributed to the wellrounded
schedule led by M. E. "Pinky" Berryhill
and Hugh Rhodes. Cecil "Doc" Beck directed the
baseball portion of the program. A new innovation
was used this year for the first time. Under
a new point system, medals. and trophies were to
be presented at the end of the year to the students
piling up the most points during the season. For
instance, bein~ on a winning team in basketball
would assure the student of five points. The student
with the highest number of points for the
year is to receive an appropriate trophy or medal
for his accomplishments. Four student assistants
were also named by the P.E. department to help
in carrying out the program. The students named
were: John Hill;s, Harvey Starling, Mary Etta
Grady, and Ken Shewmaker. Each is to receive
a monogrammed jacket from the department for
services rendered. All in all, the athletic department
at Harding this year had one of its finest seasons
ever ... thanks to three Weat leaders, four
assistants, and the cooperation of all participating.
STUDENT ASSISTANTS: John Hillis,

RECOGNITION in the annual publication, Who's
Who in American Universities and Colleges, is one
of the highest honors a college student may attain.
Students are first recommended by the college
attended and then accepted by the organization.
The faculty made the selections from a group of
students proposed by the Student Association and
on the basis of qualities of scholarship, leadership,
and cooperation in educational and extra-curricular
activities, and the promise of future usefulness
to business and society.
This year there were ten students - nine
seniors and one junior-represented from Harding.
SHIRLEY BIRDSALL editor of the '54 Petit
Jean, was remembered by many girls of the '55
C1a~s as a very helpful "Big Sister."
DANNY BROWN took time out from heading
a family to set high scholastic standards throughout
his college career.
NORMAN HUGHES proved he had knowledge
and ability above and beyond that usually
required of General Science majors.
MARY LOU JOHNSON contributed a great
deal to the pleasure of all through her spon taneous
friendliness and talents.
CECIL MAY, JR wrote an inspiring column
for the Bison, worked hard in the dramatic department,
and kept a high scholarship rating.
OWEN OLBRICHT made contributions to
many campus activities ranging from chorus to
basketball to Senior Class President.
CHARLES PITTMAN, in his calm manner,
showed that quiet effeciency and dependability are
qualities that make for success.
PAT ROWE managed to maintain a high
grade average while starring in several major
dramatic productions.
JANE SUTHERLIN, usually found between
the Maypole and the Petit Jean office, made contributions
to many campus activities.
MARY ANN WHITAKER gave proof that
brains and initiative are an unbeatable combination
in getting many jobs done.

service to both the state and the nation,
and in recognition of his efforts was selected
"Arkansan of the Year" for 1953. In a statewide
contest sponsored by the Arkansas Democrat,
a leading Little Rock newspaper, proof
of his popularity came in an overwhelming
majority vote in the primary election. At a
banquet sponsored by the Little Rock Chamber
of Commerce he was awarded a plaque by
Governor Cherry in recognition of this honor,
and was featured in the Sunday Magazine

Dr. Benson is president of the Arkansas

SEPT EMBER
FOR the freshmen, and old students returning
early, "rush week" began on the Monday morning
of September fourteenth. After the process of moving
in, with frequent pauses to meet and greet
others, there was the schedule to ·consult. Newcomers
attended the orientation meetings and then it
didn't take them long to start groaning "Oh, no!
Not another line l " There were lines for the physicals,
lines waiting to see counselors, lines to stand
in waiting to be sectionalized and registered, but
hardest of all to get used to - lines as far as the
fish pond for meals. However, it was a pleasant
surprise to enjoy meals in the newly decorated interior
of the dining hall.
The fine art of book buying had to be accomplished
before classes began the following Friday
morning and we settled down to the routine of
m eeting 8:00 classes and rushing through lunch to
the 1 :00 ones. We were just about settled when
the annual photographer came and upset everybody's
schedule.

OCTOBER began a little noisely - campaigns for
freshmen class officers subsided only to give way
to the publicity· of those for IRC officers. To the
cheers of supporters, new officers were installed
and the noise subsided into the busy buzz of the
routine again. That is until the fourth week began
the faU meeting of the College Church and test
week for most. Sunday night, the eleventh, really
began the club activities with the girl's clubs
grouping in the dorm rooms to meet the new girls.
That week picture proofs returned and the major
decision of which pose to put in the annual was
made. The following Sunday afternoon was the
date of the AU Girl Reception tea at the Rendezvous
and then the girls of the dormitories got better
acqua inted by bunking up during the week of
Freedom Forum XlV. No sooner were the visitors
gone than pledge week began. After the harrowing
experiences of pledging it was quite fitting
that initiations take place on Halloween night; especially
those held informally.

NOVEMBER
AS WE recuperated from the many hazards of
pledge week and Halloween, we were reminded of
that fact that it was only three short weeks until
the Thanksgiving vacation. Lectureships began on
the fifteenth. The theme was "Biblical Phophecy"
- Brother Marshall Keeble spoke to a capacity
crowd. On the twentieth "Ecce Credo" was presented
in chapel. As a warm-up for their trip to the
model United Nations in the spring, the IRC presented
a mock Security Council Session on the
twenty-third. The month ended on a pleasant note
- Thanksgiving vacation.
DECEMBER
DECEMBER seemed such a nice month, with a lot
of activities in the very few days between the
Thanksgiving holidays and the Christmas holidays.
On the fourth, we heard the Longine Symphonette.
"Beyond the Horizon" was presented on the eleventh.
The girls won't forget "Peanut Week" and
the dorm Christmas party. One of the most enjoyable
evenings of the year was the sixteenth, when
everybody surprized everybody else. The girls
had planned to go outside to sing carols at the boys
dorms, while the boys had erected a large tree on
the front lawn for the girls. Everybody com promized
by standing around the tree singing carols
and then moving up to the Emerald Room for refreshments
furnished by the faculty. Christmas
holidays thus started with a bang.
WONDER which they wanted most?
INTERESTING but oh those long speeches!

JANUARY
AFTER the Christmas holidays, the pass-word was
"die t. " After classes started on January sixth, everybody
busied themselves finishing the semester
w ith term papers and outside readi ng. T he tenth
brough t us the biggest snow in years. The sidewalk
from Pattie Cobb to the Student Center was a
virtual no-man's land after the snow-ball brigade
mobilized. The Petit Jean Queen nominees were
presented in chapel on the eighth while the M ay
Queen nominees were presented on the fourteenth.
Who's Who Awards were m ade in cha pel on the
twenty-third (It's a good thing tha t they were all
ther e! ) ' and "The Robe': was presented tha t evening.
The month ended with those dreaded exams.
FEBRUARY
MANY new faces accompanied February as we
registered on the second for the new semester.
There was a meeting of the Studen t Association
tha t evening with "en tertainment." W e'll all remember
the Academy Senior play "Great Expectati
ons" given as well as the Rondoliers. The tacky
party was held in the dining hall; Pat Fogerty,
Kathleen Arnold, Dennie H all, and Ralph Odom
won the prizes for the night. The highlight of the
mon th was the H arding IRC United Sta tes delegation
participating in the model U. N . at David Lipscom
b College. A huge pep rally, including cheerleaders,
gave them a big sendoff on the twentysecond,
after the "glorious leader," alias Dr. Kenney,
was exalted and various testimonials made.
MARCH
MARCH began with "The Importance of Being
Earnest. " The basketball season finished with the
Bison All-Star gam e on the sixth. Ken Noland and
Jeanne Bankston were elected to state office at the
FT A convention on the thirteenth, and on that
same day, the Senior class went to Camp W yldewood
for a nice, windy outing. On the eighteenth,
the Jr.-Sr. Banquet was held at the Rendezvous to
the theme of an Irish H oliday. The twenty-sixth
was the most famous day of this month, or this
year! Harding was accepted by the North Central
Association. The old Godden bell rang for five
minutes to announce the acceptance, followed by
several speeches on a bench by the side of the bell
tower. That night we had three consecutive meetings.
First the meeting a t the College Church, then
Marais and Miranda, and then a rally with the
band, Dr. Benson, and everything! What a night!

APRIL began with the return from spring holidays.
Many Ju Go Ju's who were all excited about

"The Medium" was given on the nineth,
and the Concert Trio gave an unusual but very
enjoya ble c;oncert on the thirtieth. Club outings
started this month - the weather being very
agreeable, as you may have noticed by the "sun­

MAY
MAY traditionally opens with a May Day celebration,
and this one was no exception. Nancy Mc­
Daniel was crowned Queen of May by Brother
Charles Pitner. On the sixth, some ran hurdles
while others stayed at home and caught up with
term papers and outside reading. We will remember
the dedication of the Petit Jean. Brother Maurice
Howell delivered the bacculaureate sermon on
the thirtieth. Final exams began on the twentyeighth.
This was the month the Seniors had their
last outing of the year to celebrate with mixed
emotions their parting.
EXCEPT for the summer school students, June was
a very short school month - three days. But in
those three days was packed the climax of the year
- exams were finished on the first; the unforgettable
and all-inclusive celebration on the second;
and the commencement on the third!

THE ACADEMY . ..
UNDER the energetic supervision of Perry Mason
the largest enrollment of Academy students in its
history proved to have more than its share of talent
and personalities. In every field of competition
new records have been set or higher standards
reached. Not least among the reasons for this
progress are the spiritual examples set by the
faculty and the inspiration provided for their students.
State and county are taking notice of the
results achieved here in spite of an enrollment
smaller than most schools.

KAT PLEDGES had not one but two initiation
ceremonies to look forward to. Halloween just
called for an informal initiation this year, with
the formal on e on November 2. During the year
there were not only secret club pals to do nice
things for, but also a banquet to work on. On
January 30 their guests enjoyed a banquet to the
them e and tune of "Star Dust." As a club project
they saw the need and spent their time and effort
mending the hymn books in the Academy auditorium.

EVERYONE benefited from pledge week when a
K-9 pledge was around to brush up your suede
shoes Qr open doors or carry umbrellas and books.
And no wonder - there were only fourteen of
them! After a bank-up initiation, one of their first
activities was a hamburger fry in the back yard at
Edward Ritchie's home. Their banquet, carried
out with a Hawaiian theme, was held March 30th.
For the year's project it was decided they would
place mirrors in the boy's dressing room in the
rrym and in the football dressing rooms.

THE SUB-DEB Club, the oldest of the high school
girls' social clubs, has been functioning since 1938.
This year they added seven new members to their
ranks and went on to have a lovely banquet to the
theme of "Artistry in Rhythm." It was held on
February 20 in the Terrace Room of the Mayfair
Hotel. As did their brother club, the ZKTs, they
chose to make an Academy scrapbook of the year's
events to present to the school.

THIS year the ZKTs decorated the Rendezvous in
keping for an "Evening in Paris" theme for their
wintcr banquet, designed new club pins and ordered
club jackets as some of their annual activities.
A dozen new members helped accomplish
these projects, after putting in some earnest pledging
- or what they would call just plain hard
work. They must not mind the work, though, because
they also donated a day's work preparing
Camp Wyldewood for the summer opening and
also prepared an Academy scrapbook to be presen
ted to Perry Mason at thc end Of school.

INCREASED SCHOOL enrollment called for the formation
of a new girls' social club this year, eighteen
girls received membership bids, and at an acceptance
tea given by sponsor Polly Williams the name Sigma
Theta Alpha Rho was selected. Otherwise to be
known as the STARs, the girls chose blue and white
for their club colors, and were pledged by KAT and
Sub-Deb members. Their formal initiation was held
in Pattie Cobb Hall reception room with Mrs. Pickens
serving refreshments, and their first annual banquet
took place April 10 at the Rendezvous. Club pins and
jackets were designed and the Galaxy college men's
social club offered its services as a big brother club.

FOOTBALL .. .
NOT SINCE MINK coats got into the White House
has sectional interest been so high as it was this
year on the Academy gridiron. Crowned District
2B champs in thei r third year of interscholastic
competition, the VI' ildcats chalked up a sterling
7-1 record for the season. Only powerful Cotton
Plant held the 'Cats at bay for four quarters. Ten
men placed on the all-district squad. This number
represents more than any other team in the state
placed on the elite squads. Fortunate ones were
Mickey Allen, Freddy Massey, Dick May, Bill
Path, Otis Falls, John, Harold, and Roy Vanderpool,
Chuck Van Eaten, and John W eibel. Dot Goodwin
was crowned football queen in the Wildcats' first
homecoming game against Barton in the season
finale.

BASKETBALL ...
"PERFECTION" could well describe the Wildcats'
achievements on the hardwood this year. Posting
a sterling 20-6 record in their third year of interscholastic
ball, the 'Cats advanced to the semi-finals
of the District 2B tournament at Swifton, bowling
over Southside, Grubbs, and Charlotte in order.
Oil Trough's once-beaten Bears finally conquered
the Bengals, 70-56. Freddy Massey placed on the
all-district senior squad and Mickey Allen copped
all-county honors.
