THE CLASS OF '27 The class of '27 may be considered one hundred percent Bible School students, for every member of the class spent from one to three years in Harper Academy and College befo re coming to Harding. Lasting friendships were formed, and each parting at the close of a school year was accompanied by a strong desire to r etu rn the next year for another period of association as students and fellow-workers in the same great cause. Each of these young people has taught in rural or public schools from one to three years, except Mr. Oldham who has been attending school s ince his entr ance into Harper Academy in 1921. All of them expect to be teachers. Mr. Oldham, as a foreign missionary, will meet unusual difficulties and opportunities. Mr. Hazlet will use his vocal talent for the serv ice of Christ in evangeli st ic singing as well as in hi s other work. Mr. Surber has chosen history as hi s major subject and expects to teach in high schools . Here he will find t ha t his opportunities for spreading the gospel are increased in proportion as he takes advan tage of t hem, by hi s conduct as well as by preaching. Besides Miss Loter the re are two other young ladies who are to graduate this sp ring. They are Miss Ruby E. Matlack of Basil , Kansas, who is leaching at Blackwell, Oklahoma, and Miss Cla ra V. Biggs of Seiling, Oklahoma, who is teaching at Gotebo, Oklahoma. Both of these you ng ladies have attended Harper and Harding Colleges and have taken s ummer courses in the Oklahoma A. and M.
