PETI T JEAN The val ian t Cheves pondered-wavering between loye and advent ure . Lured b,1 the stories of the unexplored he set sail for America. France had no charm for Adrienne witholl! her lover . Disguised as a cabin lad she kept in his shadow-wearing a new name. Up the Arkansas they came-to the friendly I ndians, the beall tiflll cOllntry, the delight f ll l climate. A veritable f airy land! Petit Jean-the In dians adored. They brollght her offerings of flowers, of fruit s and of lo>e. BIlt happiness made room for sorrow. She fell desperately ill. She weakened and weakened-then revealed her identity. Indescribable concern kept Cheves by her side. Wrapped in the tenderness of his arms she breathed las t. The mOllntain where she lies bears her name. The fond Indians felt her spirit gllarding her grave-they saw her in the tree tops-rowing on the river , wandering through the forest-sowing blessings over the realm now sacred.

FRANK DUNN ETHEL FOWLER c51cademy CJ-eonors In order to be a useful citizen arid to be well fitted for society one must have a well rounded, education. Of course, you, too, have heard this expression and believe it as thoroughl y as Tho" who arc direcrly responsible for the routine of Harding Academy believe that in order ClOt to he of the most service to his God and his fellowman, one's education must not begin in ",uth, but must develop a three fold man; one mentally efficient, physically efficient, and tfflClent. If anyone of these natutes is neglected the victim will enter life greatly hand iIt IS with these principles in view that we plan all curricula and exrra~curricula activities.
~ligious EducatioYL Unless there is a distincc program for the Christian school CO render: unless it has iu own peculiar purpose, its own objectives; unless it fills a vacant, unoccupied, place in the service of the world, the undertaking is stupendously foolish . Admittedly the Bible is the best book ever produced. The greatest statesmen, the wi~st philosophers. the most finished literary minds, and the most powerful influential men and women of all the civilized world have testified of the merits of this "unaccounted for" book. The daily teaching of this book as the Word of God, not to Ilpreachers" only, but to every student is the distinguishing mark of Harding College. There is no "Ministerial Cast" no UMinisterial Classes" or courses. The art of preparing and delivering lessons is as important in the training of a girl, as in the training of a boy. All Christians are preachersin-the-making at Harding College. This daily teaching of the Word of God) this rooting and grounding of the students in the fundamentals of Christianity-a personal God) the Bible as inspired of God, the miraculous birth and bodily resurrection of jesus Christ, the Judgment, heaven and hell, and a ~Iorious immortality-is in this age of destructive evolution, infidelity, and atheism, the upearl of great price," the uhidden treasure" to be found at Harding. The teachers in Harding College are free to teach this great and good book. They may root and ground their students in the eternal fact that God wrote the book; that Jehovah inspired its every author; that the tlmen spake from God, being moved by the Holy SPirit." They may lay deep down in the affections-che '~emotions and violations':-of their pupils the bedrock truth that Jesus was born miraculously of the Virgin Mary, died on the cross for our sins; that He was buried and arose from the dead," thac He ascended to heaven and was crowned the ever-lasting King and ever liveth to make intercession for the saints." Therefore Harding College fills a vacant place, opening to Christians an opportunity ro ttach the Word of God which opportunity is found in only one other Senior college in the world. l Were I able I would pur a million dollars into the opportunity offered at Harding College to evangelize the students that attend rhe institution in the coming years. I would see to it that this institutIOn of learning was thoroughly equipped for the service to which It has been dedicated. I would not adorn it or spend money uselessly, but it should not lack wherein it needed for service. To be sure it is better for one to give while one lives; but whatever one holds or uses to the end of life, should be given into God's service when one quits work. The "tools" one uses should afeer one's death, be employed still in the service of God. Should Christians in the territory of Harding College who die this year remember liberally the college in their wills, every need of the institution would be supplied by the end of the year.
Rhodes Pace Bens01l McKl1lley ArmstroTJg Kieffer V¥lission Study c;lass The Mluion Study Class was reorganiz~ tar/y in the fnll term with weekly meetings for the purpose of Healing a closer personal touch wIth the actual problem!! and accomplishment of OUr workers m foreiRn fields and an increas~ interest In world wide evangelism. DevouonaJ exercises and study Opolru characterized these meetings. The ptnny-a-day plan was adopted by several members, and the class undertook its project: the ompletlon of a fund for the purchase of a tent for Brother Reece 's work in South Africa. MllSion activiues were given special impetus durmg the winter by inspiration derived from the "lim ilnd It<:tures of such missionary enthusiasts as James White and Sc:on Sherdee, American lndian, workmS among their own people, B. D. Morehead from the Japan field, and J. F. Smith and Don CariOil Janel, who are noted for their world wide vision. Th~ greatest factor in the growing interest and enthusiasm m missions is the work of Brother ~e Benson, who during the winter term taught three col/ege courses, Outlines of Ch inese History, Philosophy of Oriental Religions, and Missionary Methods and Problems. A ll of these courses, and pIIrncululy the last one, which was enjo),ed by about twenty-five regular visitors, besides enrolled lCucltnts, prolled unusually interesting and practical. At least nine members of this dass in Missionary Methods have expressed a strong desire to engage m lIorlc on lome foreign field, while two young men definitely purpose to join Brother Benson in CUM thil filII As evidence of the increased interest in this work, the Morrilton Church and students of H arding IIiJed O\'tr four hundred dol/ars for the Benson-Oldham Travel Fund. During the spring term the regu lar meet ings were ngain conducted by students.
C::ommercial 'Departmen~ Every year there comes into rhe Commercial Deparcmenr numbers of students tYlth no special talent or training. Their greatest heritage is that they come from the very best homes on the earth and have ambition. But they are not ready to servo: business as business must be served. A few months later, however, these students leave Harding College with a thorough and practical training for busi· ness. During recent years many of the Alumi have been placed in positions as stenographer, typist, bookkeeper, or accountant. Many become executlves, some enter the professions, or with this excellent training as a background, pursue further college work. Commercial teachers also find the work invaluable. In irs relation to other departments of the college the Commercial Depart. ment is governed by a standard of ethics approved by the entire insticution. Students are not over encouraged to enter the department; special inducements are unknown and other unbecoming and unechical practices are condemned. The work speaks for itself. With its comprehensive courses, its practical mechods, its faculty of Christian instructors and its modern equipment, the growth and popularity of the Commer· cial Department is readily understood and appreciated.

Continuing the policy of former years they again presented a Lyceum course of five numbers· The first number of spicy one-act plays featuring "The Wedding," and HThe Man Who Died at Twelve O'clock," was followed by the hilariously funny ((Tommy," with its unsurpassed portrayal of comic character . Tears followed laughter in the excellent production of uThe Goose Hangs High," while a new type was found in the gripping mystery UAt 9:45." The state-wide interest of 'the Campus Players in dramatics was demonstrated when they become the hosts of the annual play Tournament of the Arkansas Little Theatre Association. The Tournament, in three divisions, representing the outstanding city and college Little Theatres together with the dramatic groups of some of the strongest high schools in the state, and occupying an entire week, was held in Matthews Auditorium, whose excellent stage equipment and scenery helped to make its success possible. The Campus Players, being hosts, did not enter this year. A new activity of the present year was the introduction of a course in the designing and painting of stage scenery. The Campus Players created three entire sets of interiors and one complete exterior together with numbers of minor pieces. NumerouS one-act plays were produced in the fortnightly meetings directed by advanced members of the group. Altogether the activities of the Campus Players have touched every phase of play production from writing the plays to making the costumes, creating the lighting effects, designing and painting the scenery, and training the casts. No more complete training school for effective speech and dra.matics can be found.

MOUNT NEBO The Quapaws roamed near Nebo. They farmed; they hunted and fished. From across the Mississippi mart/at/ing Chickasaws came raiding the hunting latlds full 0/ buffaloes. The former resented the ;ntTlls;on and fought for rights. YOllng Buffalo 011 wandering neaT the e,remy camp stood charmed at the sight of a maiden. His Flower of Life! He forgot to warn his people. H e laid siege to the girl's heart and won. On moonlight nights they climbed the MOlmtains of the Clollds together. Jealousy boded in the hcart of a ",aruading brave.

GJootbaU STORY OF THE SEASON Coach Paul Fiser's first year at Harding will be remembered and cherished by every Harding student. Coming to Harding with an enviable record as an all-round athlete, Fiser definitely established his ability as a coach by bui lding up one of the best and scrappiest teams Harding has ever had. Against heart-breaking odds in weight the squad lost co Henderson State Teachers, Ozarks, and Arkansas College; teams defeated were Little Rock 19·6; Fort Smith 12·6j EI Docado 45·13; and Jonesboro 19·0. To L. S. Chambe rs roo much credit cannot be given. It was only by his continual efforts in managing the finances that the heavy schedule was made possible . In Captain Bradley Coach Fiser had one of the speediest and bravest quarterbacks in the state . "Brad1> has twO more years to play and should make the all-scate eleven before he is graduated. Sharing honors with Captain Bradley was Sub-Captain Sidney Ruby. Though handicapped with injuries, "Sippy" showed a fighting spirit which will long be remembered. "Sippy" was an iron man on defense and a sure ground gainer on offense. Ruby has donned the moleskins for H arding the last time as he gets his sheepskin this spring.
Fiser is just the man to Hardi ng's athle tic program. develop H e has won a place in our hea rts and we hope he may be with us again next year-if not, Paul, good luck! Blake, husky cackle, playi ng hLs last season for Harding either got his man or held him as per orders . Blake's football career has been of shorr dura~ion but will be remembered for its determmed trymg. f'..10reland, fullback, made his senior )'car his first football yea r. With marc coachLllg and experience, Glen's hard and fast charging would make hLm a consistent ground gainer. Ervin "Pinky" Ber ryhi ll, half, was a sure ground gainer on quick opening plays. A good man on defense e:.pecially against a passing attack . With two years of play left we arc expecting great things of you, "Pinky."' Curtis !IRed" Johnson played his guard posLtion like an old campaigner. "Red" specLalized in creating convenient holes. This boy will do to watch for three years CO come. ((Little" Baldus, light, but hard runnmg ball carrier charges hke a bull; a few more pounds and three yea rs cxpc rl ence should enable him to make an)'body's team.
Billy Norris, half, playing his first year of college football, looked like a veteran. On the receiving end of Brad's passes he had few equals. His long run for a touchdown in the Homecoming game was a genuine thriller. UBec" Chambers, the husky diminUtive half, has a habit of fooling people when a first down is needed or a tackle craved. Bee's demon-like tackling agamst men who far outweighed him was inspiration to the team. Hilgers, end, unusually faithful in practice, showed morc development than any other man who suited out. Three seasons of training should work wonders with this lad. Sidney uHoss" Merrick, end, gamed the respect of every team in rhe state. On defense he was alway:> breaking up plays. As a receiver of passes he shone with Norris. Two years arc left for ((Hoss" to star for Harding. Schacffers was worked in at different positions and with his grit and stlckability has the makings of a Imeman. IIRed" Standley is a smart fighter and fills well his berth at tackle. Red fights stoically to the end and has bright prospects.
C'BOQ[sie" Brownl flanking the right end, goes down fast for passes, and when it comes (Q tackling he)s no slacker. Three years of coaching will make those passes count. Dowdy, tackle, was out with in· juries much of the season, but while he was in there he showed that twO more years will give him a reputation on those low tackles. "Dubb" Orrell) guard, is another first.year man and trul)' a stOnewall of defense. He was always m the tangle doing a lot of good old fighting. Von Allmen, half, is a hard tackler and runner 1 and has saved many a score by a sure tackle at a strategic moment. "Red" Mills, tackle, showed us, as he acquired experience, that he was· n't husky for nothing. His possibilities as a lineman arc often seen and speak for his success. Elvin "Blackie" Berryhill, Captain. elect, just couldn't be taken out of the plays this year. At center "Blackie" took rhem as they came, Size made no dl fference to him. "B1ackie" plays inspired football and as captain next year should be able {Q get the most out of his men.
GJ3asketbaH The baske[ball season [his year under [he ou[s[anding direc[ion of Coach Bradley has been [he mosc successful one in [he hiscory of Harding College. The [earn was small and ligh[, buc was one of [he fascesc in this section and in their superior startegy and all. round floor work was seen [he good work of Coach Bradley. The Harding quin[C[ closed [he season by winning from S[a[e Teachers, having defe.[ed every opponen[ excep[ Russellville "Tech." The boys surprised [he fans everywhere by [rouncing [he s[rong Arkansas College five. One of [he highlighcs of [he season was [he playing of uHoss" Merick, who received honorable mention on All -S[ace.
Judging from resu lts, Coach Borden Bradley has been H arding's most successful mentor of the hoop game. H is intensive traini ng was portrayed in the boys' work in every contest. Bradley is li ked by every member of the squad and next year he should carry them through another successful season. "Brad" is only a sophomore and with this start shou ld develop in· to anybody's coach. Sidney Merrick, captai n-elect-forward, and dead shot on the hoop from any position. He ranked third high scorer in the state. "Pinkey" Berryhill, cente r-a fast floor man, an accurate passer, and an all-round good man on the court. Barber, guard-fast, smart, and ago gressive, a neat floor man and a high score r. "Blacbe" Berryhill, guard-an allround good basketball intriguer, and consistent guard and basket tosser. USip" Ruby, sub.captain and forward-the tip-getter, the lightning star ter of plays - always a fighter. Sip will he missed next year.
Sam Bell, fo rward, a beginner with future on the court. He IS a fa st, neat floor man and a good goal tos· ser. "Red" Mills, guard-a good floor ma n who holds his men and shoots well-and makes rapid improvement. Blake, guard-good pinch.hirter any old time-an accu rate and de· pendable floor man. "Toppy" McReynolds, forwardanother first year man with brilliant prO!ipects, has plenty of speed and a a good eye for the basket. Hilgers, guard-a good prospect who is rapidly developing that old eye and has no lack of reach. "Jimmy" joluuon, gu;u·J-OJ com· ing out prospect who looks like a corner on the guard position some <Uy .
Copc-forward-a worker with a lucky shot that will get him there when he has a little more experience. Von Allmcn, guard-a real worker and good floor-man. "Bootsic" Brown, forward-a fighter and a real sitot. Hubert McReynolds - center - a fighting spirit (hat never says die and deserves watching. Shewmaker, forward-is a steady worker, neat passer and good goaltosser.
GJ3aseball STORY OF THE SEASON Th. call to all baseball aspitants was sounded by Coach Btadley early in March and more than twenty players reported for workout. Letter men reporting from last year included, Ruby, Berryhill, and Chambers, infieldets; Tucket, Gardner, and Merrick, outfielders; Bradley, catcher; and Von Allmen, pitcher. Prospects included Neil, Barber, Norris, Hilgers, Brown, Saun. ders, Bell, McReynolds. Games with Tech, State Teachers, Arkansas College, Henderson State Teachets and the Fort Smith Twins made up the schedule. The opening game of the season at Russellville was a bit dis· appointing, Tech winning 12 to 8, but the following week the Bisons played up to expectations and copped a 10 to 3 decision from the same team. As the team rounds into mid·season form, under Bradley's excellent coaching, it is slated to be out in front in the state Championship race.
Bradley is facing a rea l job this season; with handling the boys-UteIlin' them when they ain't so hot"-and all that, and stoppi ng them behind the bat, too; but you bet he handles it, and smiles too. "Pinky" Berryhi ll , a newcomer co the battery ranks, has shown real ability in his winning from "Tech" by a 10·3 score. This boy has a fast one that usmokes," and the control "ain't" so bad. Our veteran short, uSlpp ." Ruby, looks, throws, picks 'em up and bats like a master, which he really isalways knows what to do and seldom nllsses doing it, while the sound of his bat is music to the fans. Barber in left field is a whiz-in char game with "Tech" he flagged some that the score-keeper had al. read)" recorded as hits. He hits for the fun of it and seldom Stops at fir!)£. Bee Chambers can handle any old position like a veteran. He chose for this season to mix it on third, and to date has disappointed many a weary traveller. Shorty's stature gives him IllS chOice of smacking one or taking a walk.
ttHossJl Merrick displays that same old dependable form at center. It may be the sound of the ball or the slant of the bat. but something makes it unS3 fe for the old pill to travel III his direction. And you have some· thing for gossip when Sid doesn't get two hits in 3 game. Von Allmen, mainstay of the mound this year. is the Bison's only veteran hurler, and as usual is noted for his smart handling of the game under any circumstance-never raeded-always there in a pinch. Tn right field we have a first year man in Billy Norris, who looks mighty good both at pulling flies Out of the blue and at the !!ole persummon pole." Gardne r, outfielder, is a good "sub" any old day, and knows how to pole 'em Ollt. Next season should find this lad with a regular berth. Neil isn't much to look at in public, but his fan mail is evidence of his good work at bag number one. He is flashy and quick and knows how to drive that ball.
Brown is Brad's able second at back-stop. All he needs is a fune ral with the renowned Brad as the main attraction. Hilgers, a new<omer at second, is the prodigy of the team because he has never held down the second stop before, while as to handling grounders he's far from the proverbial ,Iouch. Saunders, pitcher, is learning "how" fast. The Canuck is a good prospect with a fast onej a little more cont[ol and some more twist are all he needs. Schaeffers, pitcher. is still in high school-be worth watching before he finishes college career. Thurman, ou tfielder, lacks experience but still has cwo years in college. Mortland, outfitlde r, with more experience will devtlop into a useful man in the outfield.

OLD FORKED TOP Ages before the white man feamed of Hot Springs, the Indians 'Valued the waters for their creatiye powers, and the 'Variolls tribes made this section neHtral territory. Once an Osage YOllth and a Quapaw maiden, children of alilagonistic tribes met at Ihis 'Jelltra! grou'ld and under the spell of its beauty fell in loye. Knowing that the father of the maiden would ne"er consent to their union, the dushy loyers eloped, taking refuge in the mountains to the north. When the enraged father pursued, they retreated to the top of a majestic mountain. Here 'Veiled the blue mists of the heights, they only laughed at the angry summons of the fierce old chie', who, finding his efforts fllti/e, enlisted the aid of the Great Spirit. His commatlds fell, likewise, upon deaf ears. Incensed by this unprecedented indifference to I1lahority he ordered a bolt from heayen to destroy them. Not only was this command exeCllled-the bolt that destroyed the 10Yers, cleft in twain the top of the mOllntains and its two pel1ks stand today a warnillg to cltmdestille loyers.
