1926-1927 Yearbook

COLLEGE CLUB The College Club is the tinder box for all boarding sLudents who room in the dormitories . The Club is a cooperative organization in which every effort is made to furnish coard at low cost. Each student is a stockholder and his dividend is the differ ence he saves in Lhe price he pays t he Cl ub for board and Lhat which he would pay Lo oLher places. As no company ca n sta rt without capital all sLudenLs make a deposit in advance of five dollars for eac h of the nine months, toget her with hi s first monthly payment of eleven dollars which make an initial depos it of fifty-six dollars. AL the close of each school month, four weeks, each student pays eleven dollars, if board has not exceeded the estimate of s ixtee n dollars for the coming month . Students who do not make Lhe deposit pay at Lhe rate of ~e\'e nLeen dollars per month. At any time Lhe boa rd exceeds the estimate the stude nL is subj ected to an overcharge of that amount. Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Sears have been at the head of affairs this year and have had a remarkably successful yea r . Student help is used exclusively. A very valuable addition to the g roup who watches over and directs the daily life at Harding is Mi ss E. O. Prather, Lhe school nurse. To those who are ill, Miss Prather is perhaps t he most important member of the College Club, for she prepares and serves their meals. The ser vi ng of these delicious, nourishing refreshments, as well as othe r care she gives indisposed students helps decrease the number of class absences. Her chee rful manner and, above all, her disposition to be of consta nt ser vice to others endears her to the hearts of those she se rves.
