Harding's business office is thoroughly equipped for rapid and efficient handling of the school's affairs. The addressograph, graphotypc, mimeograph, and twO typewriters are kept in almost constant lise in preparing bulletins, advertising matter, and letters for maili ng. The work is done almost entirely by students who use this means to pay their college expenses. Five or six students are given regular work in this way. This office is also the headquarters of the (ollege accountant, Mrs. F. W. Mattox. The modern equipment in the business office gives op' portunity for practical expe rience to the students specializing in the commercia l department. They learn by actual practice to use the machines they will find in the well-equipped business office.

TO TIlE STUDENTS OF I [ARDINe, COLLEGE Should Harding College live? This should be determined by the service she is rendering. If she does not fill a place of needed service, she does not deserve to live. If she is not doing a service for you and, through you, for the world-a service that is nOt being rendered by any other institution in her section of the country-all of the sacrifices made for her arc made in vain. Why should a group of society struggle to found an institution III a territory already occupied by state colleges and universities that arc well equipped and well supported by taxation? Ie goes without saying that the founders and supporters of Harding believe she is rendering a service that you cannot get elsewhere. Tr is thi s conviction that has prompted every sacrifice made for her. But is the institution really doing this thing? You-you, her students - are the answer to the query! If YOll arc not a different product from what you would have been had you gone el sewhere to school, our labors and sacrifices are lost. I t all depends lipon yort. In a few weeks you will be sifted into the soc iety of twenty states and Canada. If in that society you exalt in your lives the fundamentals of Christianity and build in your community a deeper reverence for Goda reverence and piety not seen in other college students; if you stand for the ideals and principles of Christ, our Lord, and supp:>rt in your community His church, Harding College has vindicated her right to live and every faithful sou l should rally to hcr causc. We believe in Harding and in yOll. BROTHER ANO SISTER ARlIo'ISTRONG.

CHARLES JONES Gf"RTRU DE PAINF ACADEt\\Y 1101 'OR In the selection of both the academy and the college honor students more is considered than mere scholarship. Of course the honor student must, first of all, have superior scholastic ability; but the general attitude of the student, the variety of his activities, and his all-round abllity are factors in the choice.
KIEFFER RHODES FORBES SHERRILL ARMSTRONG BELL Religioll, Edllculion fucully The distinctive feature of Harding College is rdigious education. Were it not for this departmem, the institution would not exist. The well educated man is one who is trained in body, intellect, and soul to serve. To attain this end, the program. calls for tho! daily stud} of the word of God. What limit can be set to the influence of such a service? The daily chapel exercise is a factor in this work. The young men's meetings on Monday night; the various services of the Church in the regular Lord's day meetings, morning and evening; the midweek prayer meetings; various group meetings, such as the Mission Study Class and the Leaders' Training Class, are all inspiring and useful means t'o serve the religious needs of Harding's students. In addition to this regular religious influence, are the occasional lectures and addresses by visitors on religious subjects. A ten days' meeting by some capable and faithful evangelist in which the gospel is preached is a fixed feature of the school year. The meeting is conducted some time in the spring of each year. Is not the religious life well cared for at Harding?
J\t\ission Sludy Class , Harding College and her predecessors have been the dominating influence for the fifteen missionaries who are now working in Africa , China, and Japan . Thoughts of scarting a Mission Study Class to further such influence had been continually coursing the minds of the inte rested few, but no sta rting point had been determined until Brother Don Carlos Janes visited Harding, bringing with him his always va luable information and enthusiastic zea l for the foreign mission work. Through his many appreciated suggestions a meeting was called, in which Sherman LaNier was elected president, Lois June McGregory, secretary, and Eva Johnston, reporter. During the past six months of our work, the people, customs, traditions, and religions of Africa, China , India, Hawaiian Islands, Philippine Islands, and South America have been the subjects of study. In order co establi sh a more personal contact, each member of the class has written leeters co the various missionaries on the fields. Brother George Pepperdine has sent bulletins to aid in arousing interest, Brother Don Carlos Janes has sent pamphlets to be circu lated , and a library shelf of thirty books, accumulated during the year, has been at our disposal. In addition to ou r st udy, a visit from Brother George Benson, missionary to South China, has inspired the class to con tinue its efforts to learn more of the fields where Ch rist has not gone. This yea r the class has been permitted only one meeting each week. In the years to come, it is the hope of the entire group to have a dail y study of a similar nature conducted by one well acquainted with the foreign field. Foreign mission study h-as not been the onl y theme of our meetings. The church es around Morrilton have enjoyed the help of young preachers in their Lord' s Day worship. Some of the girls, too, have found joy in teaching Bible classes at different mission places. This class of nineteen hundred and thirty-one has not accomplished marvelous things, but its purpose will have been fulfilled if it serves as a steppi ng scone for the classes of the succeeding yea rs. I
Co 111 lllcrciu I DcpurllllCnl The Commercial Department has proved, not only this year but in previous years, to be one of the most p :>pular departments of the school. The immense increase of the department during the past tWO years, es~cially, has excdled even our dreams. This department has so advanced that credit is being offered to college commercial students as well as (0 high school 5[udents. However, most students taking Business Administration are not merely interested in receiving credit for chis work but in becoming better qualified for administrative positions in the business world. The rattle of typewriters and sound of pens let one know that there are many nimble fingers and quick thinking minds within the realms of this splendid deparrmentj and at a glance, we see the possibilities of many coveted stenographers for there are blondes and brunettes of rare type. From previous successes of our young men and women in obtaining profitable positions, we know that there is a very bright future for anyone who graduates from this department

Campus Players The Campus Playe rs of Harding afC pioneers in the dramatic work of the State. The organ izat:on is unique in its purposes and the value of its training to the members can hardly be overestimated. It is a real workshop. Under the brilliant direction of Mrs. Armstrong the Players learn everything required for complete dramatic pe r formances-facial make-up, stage setting, hand ling of lights, painting scenery, designing and making costumes, revising plays or writing new ones, and directing casts. As a group the players have accomplished some outstanding results. For the past three years they have give n to Morrilton a Lyceum Course of five numbers each year. The num· bers this year consisted of Sun-up, Judge Lynch, Radio and revised version of The Ma, or a'id the Manicure, Skiddi,18, Kempy, and Turn to the Right. The most disitnguished honor achieved by the group this year was the winning of the cup for the best woman actor in the State Little Theatre Tournament, February 9-12. This honor was awa rded Addie D. Tankersley who was featured in the leading role in Radio, supported by Lewis Foster and Allen Sudderth. Besides the major anivity of the Lyceum, the P layers this year have presented at their fortnightly meeting about fifteen one-act plays, all directed by advanced members of the group. Each cast with its director is made responsible for the complete performancesetting, COStume, make-up, lighti ng effects and stage properties. There has been no finer experience in dramatic work. A unique accomplishment among the dramatic groups of the state was the presentation of an original three-act comedy by a member of the group itself. "The Rank Outsiders," by Mrs. Woodson H. Armst rong, was directed by Addie D. Tankersley and Lillian Ardrey for its successful presentation in the fall. But another feature is being added this year which no dramatic group has yet undertaken. The Players arc hold ing their own "Little Theatre" Tournament. Six three-an plays are being used. Mrs. Armstrong as general directOr has selected th~ casts, giving each play as nea rly as possible equal tale nt. Over each caSt is an advanced Player who will act as director for the group. Tournament week is set for May 18-23, when the contest plays will be given on successive nights and awards made for th~ beSt production and the beSt acting. The t remendous amount of work accomplish!!d this year has been possible only because of the inspiring enthusiasm of the director, M rs. Woodson H. Armstrong and the equal loyalty and enthusiasm of the group. There has been no stronger work in the State in dramatic a rt, and the workshop of the Campus Players offers the finest opportunity for development in personali ty and effective speech.

DAVID GAIIDNER ELA MENDENHALL DEB/\TINe, CLUB L. C. SEARS, COdch SIDNEY RUBY DORoTHA MAjO'lS WADE RUBY G. ENDA BELLE $"YLOIlS OCRIE MELTON MARY NEAl. ENNIS POE F. W. MArro,," W. W. PACE Harding has always held an unusually high record in deb.1le and the victories have always been well in excess of her defeats. During the present year three teams enterf'd the mid -western tournament at Durant , Jan uary 30, 31. The men 's team, composed of Wade Ruby and Sidney Ruby, was one of fO:Jr out of fifty· nine teams to finish the preliminaries undefeated, and closed by losing (0 a home team in the finals. The girl's learn, composed of Dorolha Majors an:! CXrie Mellon, lost only one debate in the preliminaries but lost in the finals [0 a home team. The most outstanding victory of the year was the winning of the annual forensic cup for girl s debate in the state tournament March 9·10 by D orotha Majors and Glenda Belle Saylors. In thi s tournament the men's team composed of David Gardner and Ennis Poe, was the only team to finish the preliminaries undefeated, but lost in the finals. According to che vote of the judges at this tournament, Darocha Majors received the highest number of votes as state's best girl debater. It is one of the ironies of circumstance that the team composed of the Ruby brothers, who had been so sliccessful at Duralll , were eliminated in the preliminaries, but not until they had mel and defeated the ream that won the honors in [he finals. During the invi tation tournament at Arkadelphia April 13·14 none of the teams reached the finals. Miss Majors was ill during the preliminaries and scarcely able (0 speak. The Ruby brothers won three decisions straight over strong teams only to lose in rhe fourth to a weak team that gained no other victory during the tournament.
""~ L1sic DCpdrL1l1enL Music has a refining quality" that rounds out the character and develops a capacity for greater joy and happiness. Harding has always recognized this fact and given prominence to the department. That Harding stresses the Music Department is shown by th! fact that the teachers are the most thorough and competent that can be obtained. Under the direcr:on of Exene Carolyn Benefield the department has grown during the past year. New courses have been added and the music curriculum has become more closely connected with the regular college work than ever before. Perhaps most significant of the recent additions co the music courses is the class in Public School mus;c. This class is of primary interest to prospective teachers. It help:; them in p!anning school activities, in teaching children a bener appreciation of music, and it gives to both prospective teacher and student a bener understand· ing of Glee Club and Chorus work. In fact, it furnishes a go::>d musical foundation on which to build. The Chorus, with a membership of some forty colleges, high school and special students, has proved an interesting and wor:hwhilt: organ ization thi s year. Practices have been held on Monday an:! Thursday evenings. College credit is given for work in this branch of the department; this serv!s as an incentive to more regular anendance and a finer type of work. One student, Miss Pauline Gardner, is the only one to finish certificate work in Piano this year. Miss Gardner is worthy of commendation for her splendid work. The student body will long rcmemb:!r her in association with the dispersions from chapel. /

fOOl~ALL Review or tile Sec1son The past grid season marks a high spot of the college year. At no time has Harding produced a football team of which she has morc right to be proud than the '(Bisons" of 1930. Thirty-six men reported to Coach "Buck" Arnold for practice. With but seven of the past season's men back, Arnold , as he did the yea r before, faced the task of rebuilding a team; this he effectively did. Harding returned to the State Athletic Asso::iation and was represented by a team which upset the dope in nearly every game, mostly by sheer grit and h"d uphill fight. The schedul e consisted of nine hard batrles. The Bisons won four games and lost five. OctOber 3, Harding opened the season with the College of the Ozarks. The Moun. taineers found the Bisons a tough proposition but slipped across a touchdown via thc air route in the last minutes of play to win 6 to O. Harding's marvelous defensive power shone Out and continued to shine throughout the season . In the second contest, Harding was again defeated, this time at the hands of H endri x College. Harding scored first, and held the lead through the third quarter 7 to 6, but gave way in the final period when Hendri x pushed across another touchdown to take a hard fought battle 12 to 7. The third game was lost to Ouachita 25 to 6. Sheer weight and experience proved too much for our boys; a last minute spurt gave Harding a touchdown on successive passes. The Bisons brokc into the win column when they trounced the Jonesboro College Braves 13 to O. The Harding team proved its super iority in every phase of the game. The first home game marked another victory for Harding. EI Dorado Junior College was decisively whipped 33 to O. Reserves played the last quarter. Harding again won, this time at Little Rock when but two first downs were yiel ded to Little Rock Junior College while the Bisons were making eighteen, and five touchdowns to win easily 32 to O. Up against the toughest opposition of the season, the Bisons proved their fight by holding Magnolia A. and M. to three touchdowns. The Bisons withheld the onslaught of a much heavier cleven throughout the first hal f which ended 0 to O. Weight and experience again proved to be superior and Harding lost 19 to O. The boys played their beSt game of the season. In a return game with Ouachita, Harding proved to be a much improved team. Breaks of the gamC! gave this one to Ouachita, but this time by on ly one touchdown. First downs were equal, but the Tigers completed a long pass to win 7 to O. The season was closed at Hot Springs on November 25 with an easy victory over the Army and Navy Hospital eleven 26 to O. Twenty.three Bisons saw service in the game. This game closed the gridiron careers of tWO seniors, Wade Ruby and Gary McKee.

BASKETBALL When the call was issued by Coach Dykes for the first basketball practice, some thirey men reported. With last year's team back, and with the loss of only one guard, prospects were goo:::l for a fine season. It was apparent in every part of the seas::>" that there was a wealth of forward material and a lack of guards and no rail man for the pivot position. Coach Dykes, in an attempt to capitalize the scoring ability of the numerous forwards, decideJ to use the man to man game. As the season progressed, the wisdom of his decision became apparent. With the guards and forwards all scoring, the problem was to keep the opponents score down. In the seventeen games played the team averaged thirty-nine points per game, orGinarily enough to win any game; but at {he same time it was impossible to keep {he scoring of the opponents down. As a whole {he season was a decided success; but with a stronger defense and a tall pivot man, the team could have been made into a great one. Playing against teams composed of six-footers, the team was severely handicaped; but what they lacked in size they made up in fight and
real basketball ability. The scoring was well divided, with Merrick, forward, leading with one hundred and twenry-one poinrs. Valentine, Irvin Berryhill, and Sidney Ruby all passed the one hundred mark. The ability of Ruby to get the tip from opposing forwards made him a yaluable man to eYery game. At guard. Bradley, Wade Ruby, Dykes, EI· vin Berryhill, and Mills, alternated. Coach Dykes was the fastest and handled the ball the best of any man on the team. His pres· ence on the court inspired the entire team to bttter and faster playing. Ervin Berryhill, Cleek, Ruby, and Scott worked at center with Berryhill getting most of the assignments. Berryhill's work at cen· ter in the first game with the Teacher's College was one of the best individual perform. ances of the center. As Wade Ruby and Coach Dykes are the only men to be lost by graduation, Harding should have another winning team next year. The loss of both of the men will be felt keenly. Wade is an all around athlete and scholar, while Coach Dykes is the best basketball coach Harding has ever had. t. C"
-. BASEBALL Harding students and supporters of athletics have had particularly good reason for unusuall y enthusias tic anticipation of the baseball season this year . Nearly all the veterans of last sea· son arc back in their old positions. Coach Arnold, at every oponunity si nce last September, has been pushing the work he began on the athletic field in the sp ring of '30; and the Athle tic Commirtce, inspired by the per formance of a team that played in every kind of garb last year and by the determina cion and persistence of Coach, has provided new unifo rms for the boys. Among the old-time rs, Duncan and Von Allmen , sou thpaws, and Hunter, a right hander, occupy the mound, with Bradley receiv. mg. "Sipp" Ruby, Va len tine, and Brown di. vide honors around second base and short. Buck takes care of third , and "Hoss" Merrick officiates in the outfield. T hese, with " Pinkie" Berryhill at first base , Cleveland and Ruby in the outf ield- men who were not members of last yea r's club, make an effective combina· tion. They play smooth, fast, defensive ball and know how to slug the old apple. Other recruits are " Joe" Poe (Hansom) and IICasey" J ones, very promisi ng pitche rs; Cham· bers, catcher ; Mills, who has ambitions to Ix
another "Buck"; Elvin Berryhill, Gardner, and Tucker, outfield men ; and T om Irving, who limits activi ties, respectively, to demonstrations, suggestions, and criticism, in, about, and upon the various positions, proper performances, and weak personnel of the club. The schedule for this spring includes some two dozen games with college and professional teams. To date, four of these games have been played, two wi th Arkansas T ech, Ru ssellville, with scores of 13-1 and 6-1 in favor of H :lrding, and two with Arkansas State T eachers, Conway, the fir st a defeat, the second a victory for the Bisons. In these games HYao ," Duncan, and Hunte r each had a chance and all did nice pitching. Von tossed the first game wit h T ech, holding chern co a si ngle run. In the next game Duncan took the mound, srrik· ing out fifceen men and allowing onl y two hies. Hunter proved that he had some thing up his sleeve when, in the second game wi th the Teachers, his first try of the year, he struck Out ten men, permitted only five hits, and brought the Bisons through with a 3·2 victory. Next year, all the present herd, with the exception of Wade Ruby, who finishes thi s term, will be with us again. With the outlook so favorable for this season, it is safe to proph . esy that 1932 will bring to us unprecede nted recognition in this most popular branch of athletics. .. P-.v ft /.

TENNIS Of all the sportS taken part in by Harding students, tennis anraets the greatest number of followers. Played whenever weather conditions permic, in the fall, winter, and spring, this sport furnishes a source of recreation for more students than any other activity. With the completion of another court, there are now three good courtS available for play. This will help meet the great demand for courts which always prevails in the fall and spring. Each spring, a tenni s team represents Harding College in the State InterCoJlegiate Tournament. While a Harding team has nevcr won this meet, a good showing has frequently been made. This year prospects are exceptionally bright for a winning team. Lowery, Dykes, Blake and Valentine arc looking best at present. Matches will be scheduled with other colleges in preparatiOl 1 for the State Tournament. This year the Harding Academy is represented by a tennis team. With "Toppy" McReynolds. Frank Rhodes, and Farris Coleman continuing to improve, it is expected that many victories will be won before the end of the year. This team has already met and defeated Russellville High Schoo!. For the first time in the history of the school, Harding College is represented by a girls' tennis team. Matches will be sc heduled with other colleges if possible . While not as mu.:h interest as desired has been shown by the girls, it is believed that a good team will be developed. Glen Rose McGreg:Jr and Elizabeth Harding are certain of places on the tenm. \Vith more practice, they will be a splendid combination.
