"To hnow her is (0 loue her," and her kindly counsel which she so willingly giues lifts one Into realms of reality. like the dawn after a night (hal is long. Thus it is fitting that as (he strain of our beloved Alma lvlater entwines its melody around our hearts. we, the 1941 Senior Class of Harding, do dedicate this volume of the Petit Jean to our Dean of \Vomen. and the aut hor of Our Alma Mater, MRS, FLORENCE M, CATI [CART

FOREWORD Now standing an the threshold of life, the class of 1941 faces the challenge of a shifting world, a world for different from the one we leave. In portraying life at Harding we have attempted to capture a bit of that intangible and indefinable spirit that hovers about the place even as the ivy climbing Its walls has became a part of Godden Hall If memOries of happy hours and friendships may be recalled, If the spirit of Harding may live In our hearts, If the ideals of Harding may be seen In our lives, If the Petit Jean is a reminder of ordinary days- ·of passing from chapel to classes, the smiling friendliness when we met, the outings when the woods were red with fall or green with spring, our sitting by the fishpond beneath the flowering peach, and of the loyalty that surged in our hearts as we sang "Alma Mater"-then our purpose IS fulfilled
[N MJEMOlRlIAM MRS. BATSELL BAXTER "A wort hl/ woman who can find. for her price is far above rubies. " These words of Solomon portray accurately the character of Sister Batsell Baxter who died on December 24, 1940. During her thirty years with Brother Baxter she was an ideal helpmeet and a s teadfas t supporter in the Bible School work. Queenly and abounding in good works, her warm hear t always held comfort for the distressed. An everlasting monument to her beautiful Christian womanhood stands in the memory of all who knew her.
"Near the foothills of the Ozarks Midst of hill and plain" ?1. LONELY GRAVE and a legend dim with the dust of years are all that tell 0; the romance and the sorrow thai surrounded the (ife of Cheves. and of the sorrow that shrouded Adrienne. It was not an ordinary parting when he hissed her. Though he planned to return. he neuer again satV the waves breah on the shores of France. Adrienne. half fearing that her plan would fall. tooh the part of the cabin boy on the ship with Cheves. Disguised and under the name of Jean she sailed with him (0 America. \Vinding their way up swollen rivers they al last anchored at (he foot of a moun ~ lain soft with trees. The Indians were friendly and Ihe ship swung at anchor I hrough I he warm days of summer. As the summer is the lime for happiness. autumn is the lime {or sorrow: PCllt Jean died. In her last few hours she called for Cheves and once again bccarnr Adrienne. The Indians dug her grave. And still they say her spirit haunts the mountain in the wind. or rides the swirling water at its foot. The mountain where she lies nOtV bears her name PETIT JEAN

"A bruised reed sholl he not breok," words which described Christ, also describe Horvey Dykes . For seven yea rs he served foithfuliy, efficien t ly, and cheerfully as the college carpenter . His love for Christian education was evident by his providing one for his children .
