T o the Stud ents of H a rding Co ll ege l~rOSE who conceived and brought forth the Christian schools were [a r [1'0111 dc- ~ ~ siring t.o add another school to the already long list of splendid and efficient II> educational institutions in our land. They appreciated the invaluable work being done by the many colleges and univers ities a lready at work, but they believed these institutions were sufficient to meet t he demands of the popu lar idea of educnt ion. He nce, they had no idea of found ing- j ust another school. But they saw a great need to be supp lied, a gl'cat se r vice to be done, that the existing institutions of learning were d istincLly neglecting. I-fence, they founded a school. They we re lite rally eaten up with zea l fo r the se r vice they knew the wor ld needed. I f the wor ld thought well of their effort, well <lnd good; but if not, their cou r se was determi ned. Hurd ing College was born of this ide<l. It was brought forth to do a sel'vice that is being di st inct ly neglected- namely, ground ing the students in fait h in God and fi ll ing t hem with t he doctrines of the Chr ist. In other wonl5, lIanli ng College lives to rool and gl'c und hearts in t he fait h of Israel's God. Ther efo l'e, in this, ou r <lnnual message, we most earnestly call YOUl' aitention to the idea ls, spi r it , and mission of Harding College. Above everyth ing else, we long fo r you to be t rue representatives of t he institution. Let your lives be liv ing epistles, known and read by all men . Let your loyalty to this institution be seen in noble deeds of living ; let it be seen in the ideals nnd se r vice of your lives. We want to assure you students that we count you the greatest asset the college has. Whatever t his instituti on may accompl ish in se r ving mankind , you must be the greutest facto r in the success atta ined. Wi thou t you, we can do nothi ng; but with you, we can do a ll things. Harding College in all the years to come wi ll be known best by you, its s tudents. Whether it should eve r huve lived must be determ ined by you. A tree is known by its fru i t , and the finished product is t he ncid test of the success 01' failul'e of un effort. S::> the students of any educational inst itution commend 01' condemn that institution. It, too, is known by its fr uit. BROTHER AN D S ISTER A Hl\l STRONG. 19

"POKEY" Being full of the ideals and inte·-ests of the school when she finished two years of work at Harper College, she came Lo Harding, and has faithfully lived up to its ideals and worked for its inLel·est s since its very beginning. She is a born leader in any activ ity in which she engages, and is always giving up personal preferences and sometimes slighting her own wOI·k that she may help othe,·s. Her time is not her own; she lives for others-that is why she was chosen the best all-round gd; the favorite chaperon on pleasure trips, the confidant of those in need of sympathy or advice, a Leacher in the training school who enjoys p rofound respect and affection of all who a "e or have been her pupils. Everyone loves her, especially Freshmen; for though but a student teacher, both Freshmen academy and college classes have chosen her as Sponsor. As Assistant Editor of the PETIT JEAN last year and a s Editor in Chief this year, she has done a work fo r which she is due much credit. These are a few of the many things we think of in connection with her. 2(;

Seven of the number were Sophomores in H. C. last yea". Although the class has not achieved anything of great worldly note, its membe rs are connected with almost every phase of student activity . It is honored by its representati ve in the College Quartette. Eight of the number are members of the PETIT JEAN Staff ; another is a college favorite. One of the boys is also manager of the college Football Team. Realizing that we are to be the Senior Class of next yea I', we are striving to make ourselves worthy of that honor. l 7E SF

The Class of '28 ~ 19HE Sophomore Class has been favored with talent. The infancy of • this class has been cast off for a more imposing position. Only on two occasions have we sought and found recreation dea ,· to our hearts . The Arkan sas River was the scene of our first gambol. The "dogs" were sacrificed promiscuously to satisfy the hunger of the two dozen hale and hearty mortals. The weiners were slain in their innocence fo·· no other purpose than that they might feed the hungry mouths of this class. On a second outing you would have found us on the hill east of the Ad. Building, partaking of a Castilian di sh, called in our tongue "Chile." 'Twas a beauteous evening, calm and free, that John Silver-Leg, in the personage of our able cook, saw fit to relieve the pangs of hunger by feeding us on hi s dish-including the beans. That we have mo!·e than our share in the talents of the school needs no proof. One debater, fully half the athletic team, and four members of the quintet have cast t heir lots with us. The orchestra has conscripted several of our number also. "No Sophomore, no Annual," say we. Two very important staff members can be found in our li st. We have the best Sponso r in school, Prof. A. G. John so n. We hope to add to our class next year many new va luable accessions. Long li ve the Class of '28! 36

President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Is it hard to drop suddenly from the ranks of a Senior to enroll as a Freshman ? No. Without exception, everything worth while must, as a row of sharply pointed pickets, have a descending slope just beyond the piercing protrusion . The Freshmen are a care-f ree, happy-go-lucky crowd of fo lk s that take their fun where they find it. They boast of the largest class in college. In fact, they have had good intentions of studying. How much s impler history would have been if remembering dates were as easily done as keeping them! Their cont ribution s to the orchestra are invaluable. Two favorite wits hail f rom their ranks. Commendable prepar ation should insure the captivation of next year's favorite page for garrulity. A steep incline, a steep decline-and again the story is r epeated . 40

PETIT JEAN The Campus Beautiful [[]O the students of Harding College who go out into the wor ld there • will always remain a memory of their college days. There will forever abide in their hearts a love for their Alma Mater, created through joys and disappointments, successes and failures, and all the dear memories of t he sweet, unforgotten t hings. Possibly in after years, even more dear than the memory of some whitehaired professor, more precious than the friendships of old classmates, more beloved than the love of every classroom and every hall, will be the memory of the co llege campus; for t rul y a college is not so often remembered by its beautiful buildings, approved cur ri culum, as it is by its campus. Trees, grass, and shrubberi es should be planted on the campus of Harding Co ll ege. Our campus should not be thought of as a treeless, grass less stretch of barren earth, but as a place of vivid, living, growing things. Tn order that it may not be remembered thus, let us begin now to beautify the campus of our college, in the foothills of the Ozarks, in the "land of a million smiles." Let us make it a smi ling place of t rees and flowers and shrubberies, a place that wi ll be fraught with memories for every student, a campus in which every winding walk , in which every shifting spot of sun li ght shining through the trees, in which the fragrance of every flower, touches some heartstring and plays upon the chimes of memory. l.etus make the campus of our Alma Mater so beautiful that it will be remembered with love and pleasure, like an old, ve ry dear letter laid away in lavender and rosemary.

PETIT JEAN The Training School !~I HE Training School has made marked improvement this year, there • being more than one hundred pupils enrolled and several refused because of lack of room to accommodate them. At the first of school Mr. Orr organized a Junior Orchest ra, using so ngophones for the instruments, and the children gave a program in chapel one morning which was very well received. The lumber di splay in the intermediate grades was of such excell ence that Professor John son had hi s Efficiency Class report on it. The exhibition was both beautiful and instructive. The climax of the year's work came at the dramatization of the story of Achilles. This production represented a great deal of painstaking effo rt on the part of the teachers and patient practice of the pupi ls. , 51

PETIT JEAN Piano Department I~I HE recitals this year in the Department of Piano • have been above the sta ndard. The numbers selected were unusually difficult to play. Miss Moody does not graduate any student this year, but the talent represented in this organization is exceptionally good. With the addition of severa l new pianos, practice periods could be called more regularly and systematically. They do not have the finished players as last year; neither do they have the novices. All the students are on a more level plane. Great interest has been shown in the musicales. , G~J ? 54
PETIT JEAN Voice D epa rtment "Sing, and the world Riny.'! with !JOlt." EvidenUy the s tudents or Harding believe in thi s adage, for there are many l11'3l'e voice students thi s year than there were last year. Everyone who could has taken advantage of the oPPOl'tunity of s tudying under such an excellent instructor as Mi ss l:Lt~nch Joy Jones. In Decembet' the voice students, thei r friends, and seve ral membel's of the Faculty enjoyed the delightful little "Singing Tea" given by members of the Voice Departmen t. Luter, in March, the students in this department gave the musical comedy, "College Days." Not only has there been vast improvement in the department, but there has also been improvement in the individual members. Next year the Voice Department expects to do greater things. G~J ? 55
PETIT 0EAN Special Students ITH the addition of Prof. E lliott P. Orr to the Faculty, the school feel s that it has made a profitable accession. In addition to those also enrolled in other departments, Professo r OIT has a number of students who take nothing but music. These students have appeared to great advantage in the recitals of the year . Pl'Ofessor Orr showed hi s interest in high-class entertainment by bringing MI'. Ernest Toy to Harding College. The student body owes a debt of thanks for the privilege of hearing Mr. Toy, and voted unanimously for the return of the artist in 1926-27. , GIJ

PETIT 0EAN The Expression Department [~HE expression class of Harding College has done some excellent work • both in the technic required in that department and the artistic productions on the stage and platform. The members of this class have developed a keen appreciation of the beautiful in life, realizing that all cu lture, truth, and sincerity come from within and are founded upon God's laws in nature, while the essential element of all art is a struggle for truth and harmony. The majority of the students have taken part in a public program on an average of once each month during the school year, although in some cases it may have been as costumer, p~operty manager, or assistant director. The first was "The Pageant of Arkansas," which was played on the college campus on the nights of October 20, 21, 22, and 23, and was witnessed by thousands of people f rom various pal·ts of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, and Ojdahoma. This was followed by Oscar Wilde's comedy, "The Importance of Being Earnest." The members of this department wish to express their appreciation to Prof. A. G. Johnson for the valuable assistance rendered in playing the title role in this comedy as well as a leading role in a later production. Later a group of one-act plays were given, consisting of the comedy, "Joint Owners in Spain;" the fantasy, "The Maker of Dreams;" and the prize play of 1924, "Judge Lynch." Within the next month the director and members of this department assisted the High School Seniors in the production of the comedy, "The Full House;" they also assisted the Academic students in the production of "The Story of Achilles." Later a ready program was enjoyed by the many friends of the art of platform reading. Finally, as the consummation of all their labors, they chose to dedicate to their many friends the production of t he beautiful religious drama, "The House of Rimmon," written by America's greatest religious author, Henry Van Dyke. . ? 58

t PETIT tJEAN Footb a ll Squad To begin with, the football seas :m started latc here. This probably accounts for the fact that we were s low in developing. The first frac;]s of the season showed us our \\cak point-offensive. We were not discouraged by the outcome of this contest. While we failed to make a poin ter, we marc than outpointc<I our opp::ments, the Normal Seconds, in so far as regards defense. The second ga me, with the Magnolia l\'iul eridel's, proved a turning poin t for our teHm. It was there that we saw a real offense. II was the most gruelling contest of the year. Some of the factors that contributed to QUI' defeat were lack of training and a trip of one hundred miles through some of the most disHg'l'ceable weather ever seen. The Hendrix Bull Pups got the jump on us, and we were FOI'ced to take the small end of the sco re. The jaunt to Paris netted us valuable returns. It was while we were there that our first contest was won. The Aggies Seconds, nbly aided by some first-string mcn, won the next argument. Subiaco coveted the pigsk in that denoted OUl' victory, and WCI'C not sat isfied until they could IOhave at us" once more. They met with the same di sast rous result as before. The Coach intends t o start mu liel' next season and really put old Harding on the football map. • c 75

PETIT JEAN The London Literary Club Beside the ruddy rampnrts of a modern hearth the London Literary Club of I-l ard ing College had its birth. Thi s sacred precinct was ever a place for dissertation upon weighty matteI's concerning Engli sh 251-252. The chum of t hi s class,E . C. Blackshear, in the person of Dr. Samuel John son, suggested the idea of wearing a name worthy of its being. 1"01' his able cohort, Ray Hazlet was named for J. Boswell. Ray's essays and themes mer ited this. The speaker of the var ious evenings at the reception room was Munell Todd, able representative of Edmund Burke. The lofty brow and deep, dark-blue eyes of David Garrick were passed as an inheritance to one Willi s Rhodes. Of the influence that ha s been wielded by t h is moder n or gan ization enough cannot be sai d, Bci ng a very select crowd, the club fe lt that one to ente l' must qua lify himself a long literHry lines.

PETIT JEAN The College Male Qua rtet The College Ma le Qual'tet, und er the dil'('(:tion of 1\11'. Lloyd O. Sanderson, has, as always before, proved to be a l'eni asset to our Hdlool, both in providing en te l'luinment fol' local affairs and in effectively advertising the school while on their numerous trips to other Al'kl:lll sas cities. Throug h apPl'cciution of t he high class of ente rtainment which they always give, the Morrilton ch::lpter of thc Ki wan is I ntemationai thi s yea r gave them honorary members hip to the club. The personnel of the organization is t.he ~amc as of the Coll ege Quartet of '24 and '25, with the exception of a change in basso. W. C. Tester ha s assumed the role fO I'. IlIcrly taken by Adlai S. Croom. The positioll!-l of first and second leno : are ably filled rc:; pectively by Ra ymond II azlet, with the high nightingalt, voice, and Ll oyd O. Sander- ~on, with hi s power and quality.

'1''''' COLLF.G" QU I NTWr With the addition of Leo Ackel's (lenor) to the quartet, we have a qu intet of which we ca n ju stly be proud. The cl imax of the year':,; work in this line was the program bI'Oa<i <:mit from 1I0t Spl'ings, the s u(;(;e sf.> of wh ich was attested by the showers of telegrams, letters, and cards from all parts of the nation which the boys received. . , D2
PETIT JEAN Orchestra In no othel' department has there been a greater inC:l'casc in interest and membership t han in the orchestra. Under the direction of ProfcRsor OIT, work was started at the fi rst of school, ancl new members have been added from time to time. As the orchestra increased in membership, the need of marc instruments to make the best music poss ible was impressed on the minds of those interested, and drums, ccHo, and other instruments were added . Aftel' many weeks of faithful practice and occasional numbers given on school programs, t he orchestra made a tou)' of neighboring' towns and gave full evening entertainments. Thi s group of enthusiastic young musicians, in their neat black and wh ite u nifOl'lll s , plan to spend some time this summel' on a tout' that \.... ill extend over a considerable part of the State, With such a good beginning and with prospects fot' a continuation of the same e ffi - cient training and an increased I1lcmbel'ship, Hal'ding College may well hope to have a good orchestra again next yeaI', ?

The extr a half hour on Saturday nights gave time for many enjoyable spreads and stunt prog-rams, often with guests from outside the halJ.

The gil"ls of Jcnnye H ill H all want to always keep their reputation that no more orderly o r neat girls' home can be found anywhere. , G~J , 95
