Memory, like Time, is fleeting. A photograph or a familiar scene recalls former dreams and former experiences, which we live again and which are made sweeter by the gentle tempering of Time. May these memories revive the spirit of Hard· ing College and of Christ, which has been inspired in us; may the inspiration malie us strive to be missionaries in whatever field we may be. • • •

o 0 t LCQ LGVl The most coveted place in the Petit Jean is the page of dedication. The class of '39, in selecting a man for this position, unhesitatingly chose one that occupies the hearts of the class and of everyone that is acquainted with him-J. N. ARMSTRONG. We were the last class to enter under his presidency; he made a lasting impression on us. We well remember the first chapel exercise over which he presided. His lectures never became tiresome. His time was our time, and all of us availed ourselves of his graciously-given advice and 'inspiration. This book purposes to portray a measure of the missionary work In the- different fields. We believe him. to be the dean of missionary efforts. No man has stirred more hearts in this direcc'ion than he. His unexcelled work in Christian education and the molding of numberless characters is known the world over. He is to us godliness personified. He has drunk at the fount of spiritual blessings and unselfishly passed the cup on to others. Though his years are limited, he has a past that is a challenge to us all. For these reasons and many more, we dedicate the 1939 Petit Jean to J. N. ARMSTRONG.
ALMA MATER Near the foothills of the Ozar' ks, 'Midst of hill ami plain, Stands our glorious AllIla Matel' ; Har'ding is her name, (Chorus ) Sing the chorus! Shout it loudly! Echoing thl'Ough the yale: Hail to thee, beloved Harding! Alma Matef', hail! Chdstian standard is hef' motto; Christian life is stf'essed; And in every branch or learning Each one does his best. Hat'ding opens wide her portals, Thus inviting all Who would tread the path or knowledge; Heed then to her call. - Florence M, C"thead,
3tarJill9 IS !1 n{luellce . . . . The characteristic spirit of the New Testament teaching is the spirit of service. The Master, himself, came to minister and not to be ministered unto. It was H e who said: uHe that would be greatest among you, let him be servant of aiL" It is impossible to mention here in the short space allotted to me the names of the boys and girls, the men and women among the students of Harding College that have gone into the neglected and un favored spots of this country to serve the needy. Impossible, mainly, because many of these students have slipped into the places of need and have done their work without blowing a trumpet before them, and their heroic service has been rendered in quiet, known only to God and co those served. These representatives of the Master and His kingdom havc sought out spots where Christ has scarcely been mentioned, and there have they laborcd with meager suppor t, often-times making tents for their own living, whilc they delivered to the people the greatest message ever heard. These boys and girls inspired by the faithful teaching of t he Word of God in Harding College have done in the United States as praiseworthy work as has been done by their brothers and sis ters on foreign soil. In addition to this work done in hard places in the homeland, there arc many churches in whose leadership are to be found hundreds of thcse rcprc· sentatives of Christ who by their consecrated leadership are giving to these congregations a vision for better service, and are, thereby, leadi ng thcm into fields of greater usefulness. - J. N. ARMSTRONG. To all the workers that go forth fr om Harding, each year, THE COLLEGE is dedicated. ..

ZJakin9 tke gOlpeL to tke Gffrican . . The history of the work of the Church in Africa properly begins in the early nineties when John Sherriff began mission work in Southern Rhodesia, while working at his trade.' of scone masonry. Brother Sherriff's first native convert was Frederick, one of his boys whom he called the HMustard Seed." At the time of his death in 1935, Frederick had baptized more than 800 of his people. As the most efficient method of evangelizing, Forest Vale Mission was established to teach other native boys to spread the Gospel among their race. Soon afterward, other missions were established: Sinde Mission near Livingston, Northern Rhodesia, was opened in 1923, Kabanga Mi ssion about fifty miles from Kalama, in 1927 ; and Namwianga Mission about three mil es from Kalama, in 1932. Besides these, churches have been started in some of the larger cit ies. Brother George Hollis, a native Aust ralian, worked in Ny. asaland, for seven years. The progress of the African work is definitely on the upward trend . Wid, the assistance of the six new missionaries that arrived in 1938, and of others expected in 1940, the African work will be greatly en larged. Plans are being made, and are now being executed, for a Normal School, a separate training school for boys and girls, and several new buildings. This will en· able us to prepare and send out more teachers and preachers to do work among their own people in the villages. Experience has shown that this is the best and quickest method of carrying the Gospel to the African. -ALVIN HOBBY. Sixteen Harding students have labored in this field, and to them this book of CLASSES is dedicated. ,.' •• , .. ' :', ..

Se_i.o.. ~e88age For four years, time has been passing silcndy and heedlessly, and we have been floating through the channels of college life. Now the time has arrived to say ((good-bye Harding." Only we realize what a mammoth task this is. We can hardly believe that we are having to exit the canopy of our Alma Mater. East is East and West is West, but the (wain did meet in the Fall of '35. Our Freshman Class was the largest in the history of the sc hool and ou r Senior Class maintains that record. Our freshman year was spent getcing acquainted with eac h other and the school. Then we imagined what was harbored in the minds of our ultra-upper c1assmcn and followed them as our ideals. Now we have attained I<Se niorhood" and we arc more humble than we were as freshmen. We learned the significance of the terms, "Uncle Jack and Aunt \Vood· son." Being students under his presidency, we learned what constitu tes a man. The girls acquired ideals of real ladyhood under Aunt Woodson. It was then that the sprollting of hidden seeds took place, which later manifested themselves in leadership and prominence. At the end of the year we were looking forward to our return as sophomores. The next year cur class was decreased in quantity, but not in quality. Our characters were being molded to fit more and more with the ideals of this great school. Also, we learned of the efficient and aggressive leadership of Brother Benson. wheel. higher. By the time our junior yea r rolled around, we felt definitely that we were a cog in the We further felt that we were laying bricks in a building that was rising higher and Now the time was present to take on the air of sophis ticated seniors. We shall never forget the Junior.Senior Banquet and the impressive candle.lighting ceremony. The eyes of many seniors showed chat they had betrayed their dignity. In our senior year we returned full of enthusiasm to continue to p:lot the class ship. We were saddened at the prospect of the nearing departure, but we resolved to make it the best yea r yet, and to cement those friendships that had been growing through the years. We know that this is our last opportunity to speak as students, and we hope that we may say something challenging to underclassmen. You must surpass us as Harding progresses. By applying yourselves, continuing in the old paths, and storing up riches, you may glean the nectar therefrom. As we come to the last paragraph, we speak to our Alma Mater. May you in future generations, guided by the providence of God, impart to others what you have imparted to liS. May we as they, and we ask the power to, carry your banners to the loftiest peaks of success. In return for all you have done for liS, we can only express our gratitude which en· shrines in our hearts a feeling of love, loyalty, and ardent desire to see your unexcelled work continue upward unt il yo uc name shall ever be perpetuated above the ordinary schools about you.

Ckina and tke (fOJpel . . . Thirteen yea rs ago, the churches of Christ began an effort to reach China with the Gospel alone . During these thirteen years, fourteen missionaries from the churches of Christ have entered Chinese territory, several hundred Chinese have been baptized, and several congregations have been started. The Canton Bible School wa s opened in the city of Canton for the purpose of training Chinese leadership for the work of the Lord in that country. By 1937 the Canton Bible School had fifty students, and the future of the entire work in Sou th China looked very promising. With the beginning of the war wi th Japan , all American missionaries were vinually forced out of China, and the Chinese Christians were seriously scattered. Letters: received in this country from some of the Chinese Christians indicate that they have held on with astonishing courage, holding meetings in homes and continuing ther worship with regularity. Remarkable as it may seem, the property of the Canton Bible School has also remained undamaged up to the Fresenr date. When war conditions will permit the. recurn of American missionaries, it is expected that the Chinese Christians will immediately rally to join in aggressive evangelistic work in their own country. Brother and Sister Lowell Davis plan to return to Canton next fall. The Canton Bible School can be opened again and evangelistic work resumed . Due to the recent war crisis, the people of Chma will be more receptive to the message of Christ and will be more zealous in carrying the tidings of eterna l peace to their war-harassed countrymen. -GEORGE S. BENSON. The book of FEATURES is dedicated to the faithful group of seven workers from Harding that labor - ed in this f ield. ..:-:-=:=:;::.~~-.• ~ ..... -.... -=----= :....."":·:::"""':'.......

The work of taking the Gospel to the people of the Philippine Islands was begun by George S. Benson in 1928. He found the people very receptive and his efforts there were effective. After opening up the field so that others could take over the work, Brother Benson returned to China where he had labored previollsly to his trip to the Islands. H. G. Cassell and his famil y went to Manila and worked among the people of that city unt il they were joined by O. T . Rodman in 1933. Anumbet of churches were establ ished and several of the natives were developed into efficient leaders and teachers. Miss VerliCi Garrison went to the Orient in 1934 and married Brother Rodman . This· couple then moved to Misamis, another sec tion of the Islands, where they labored for a time . Th is new sec tion proved very responsive, and in four years' time, Brother Rodman was able to report. uWe left four places with· regular communion services, and double that number where we sometimes had se rvices. Besides these, there ate sca ttered members and others interested in the Gospel, at various places. UThe present need of the Gospel in this field is naturally great . H ere, one might begin work immediatel y upon arrival , since the language is rapidly becoming English. Any Christian worker would find an open door for the W ord of God among a very f riendl y and apprec iative people . ItWhere sin ha s gone, must go his grace. The Gospel is for all." - LOWELL B. DAVIS. Two workers wer e influenced at Harding to enter this field. To them ACTIVITIES is dedicated.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Under the direction of Margaret AI· sron, the interest in Girls' Physical Educa· tion classes has grown rapidly. Advanced classes in tennis, archery, swimming, volley ball, calisthenics, and table tennis have been conducted during the year, in addi. tion to the regularly scheduled classes reo quired of all freshmen girls. As many as sixty have been enrolled in a beginner's class. Assisted by Mary Nelle Blackwell, as· sistant Physical Education Instructor, Miss Alston has conducted Red Cross Life Sav· ing tests in swimming, which were successfully completed by a number of girls. With classes in swimming, volley ball, calisthenics, and table tennis meeting indoors, and archery, tennis, and volley ball meeting on the recreation fields, the students are allowed to participate in sports in class and for recreation throughout (he entire year.
