LEONARD KIRK
DEDICATION Through four years of study and play at Harding our class has had a genial companion and helper in our sponsor, P,-ofessOI- Leonard Kirk. Truly he has been onc of us in our work and play, our fun and worries . .\Iuch of the vibrance, color, and happiness of these years has been contributed by his vitalizing presence. \Vith him we have freely shared our problems and our dream'> and always he has understood perfectly, lie has not hesitated to praise whct,C praise was due nor to correct where correction was needed. As head of the department of Illusic he combines hard work, alertness, and good musical education with native ability, Under such direction, a third of the student body has engaged actively in music-making both as a ~tudy and a pastime. TIe obtains full co-operation from his singer's because they love him and his music. To them doing something for him i~ a pleasu,-e. Because he is to us a dear friend, we , the senior class , do dedicate the 1942 PETIT JEA to \lr. Leonard Kirk.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE To the Harding Students of 1942 : Congratulations on your having made this one of the very best years Harding College has yet experienced. Your unusual seriousness, your exce ll ent conduct, you r studious habits, and your cordia l co-operation have mode you on outstanding student body, and will ever be remembered to you r credit. The excellent and successful manner in wh ich you have responded to the cha ll enge of self government in both dormi to ri es will likewise remain a permanent tribute to your self-control and to your Christian cha racter. These f ine qualities of Christian characte r on the port of its youth constitute the greatest asset of ony nation. May God bless each of you with the necessary faith and courage to remain true to the ideals of the Master during this most criti cal period in the history of our nation, and during this most terrible of all wa rs known to civilization. Sincere ly, GEORGE S. BENSON Demond for Dr. Benson as a public speaker has kept him much away from Harding College this year. At the opening of the spring term he selec ted a helper to assume some of his duties on the compus and off. Mr. Ho lbert come from New York City where he hod worked chiefly with business magazines in the petroleum and automotive indust ri es. WARD K. HALBERT Assistant to the President Ruby Ja McGehee lived in Sherman, Texas until Sep tember 18, 1936, when she married Edwin M. Hughes, a Harding College senior, and returned with him to school. A stenographer capable of seven ty-five letters 0 doy of business correspondence whi Ie cheerfully answering the telephone and meeting callers, she was needed in the president's office. This work, along with a college course and keeping house, finally become burdensome ond she abandoned her academic pursuits 10 enloy her full-time office work. MRS. EDWIN M. HUGHES The President's Secretary
LLOYD CLINE SEARS, Ph . D. DEAN OF THE COLLEGE FLORENCE M. CATHCART, B. A. DEAN OF WOMEN WILLIAM KNOX SUMMITT, Ph . D. REGISTRAR . zsors
An experienced teache r, Dr. W. K. Summit t , head of the Depar tmen t of Educa ti on as well as regist rar , came to Ha rding in 1933. He dropped teachi ng duties here for two years to direct educa tion in a C. C. C. camp. He is likeable olthaugh he believes in hard work-gives hard tes ts. Almos t every spo re moment he con be seen with his shrubb2ry, garden, or chi ckens. Ve ry op timi stic a bout world conditions, he thinks the U. S. A. is a grand place despite trouble now and then, a nd advocates more s traight thinking . Since 1924 Mrs . Florence M. Cathcart, dea n of women and professor of primary education has been part of Hard ing. Only since ' 38 has she been matron of Patti e Cob" Hall, but always she has had a deep love for chi ld ren and has worked with them. Every spring you wil l find Mrs . Cathc:Jrt amidst the roses in the campus garden . A charte r member of the Campus Pla ye rs, she has portrayed seve ral ro les. Music is a jOj to her and she has belonged to several choruses. L. E. Pryor, professor o f history, soc ial scie nce, and geography, spends his leisur e time in form ing and stock ra ising . According 10 government inspection , he has some of the best soy beans in the country. He went back to hi s Alma Ma te r to teach and has been teaching and preaching ever si nce. When yO:..J pass h is examina t ions, you know that cou rse th oroughly. C,urchill is to him an outs tandi ng man . Above all, Professor Pryor is a Chris - tian gentlcm:m , who pu ts God first.
As outlined by Professor B. F. Rhodes, Harding's Department of History is planned "to assist young people to appreciate the background of todoy's problems and to help them formulate their own place in present day situations ,lI All who have studied under him cherish the nome of "Poppy" Rhodes . He retains what he reads and can begin at almost any point of history and sketch the subsequent events. Since 1905 he has been teaching in Christian schools and devoting much time to evangelistic work. Among the memories he fondly recalls is the fact that George S. Ben - son was once a student under him. Leon Manley, associate professor in the Social Science and English Departments and superintendent of Godden Hall, was Harding's newest faculty member until his departure to become an instructor in noval aviation for notional defense. Popular with his students, he stimulated thought and discussion by his searching ques - tions and critical analyses. Noted for his "Hello, fellows" he was one of the first persons the new student met as he started life in Godden Hall. His interests were varied, but he found time to coach the college debate teams to second place in the State Tournament . Every spare moment from his work he spent riding horses.
"English is fundamental in all professions Or vocations." This is so well understood at Harding that functional English, Journalism, and Speech are co-ordinated into one overall department. Few Harding students realize that Dr. L. C. Sears, dean of administration and head of the Department of English, is listed in three Who's Who's-those for Writers, for Scholars, and for Educators of America. At present he is revising for publication several chapters of his doctor's dissertation, one chapter of which has already been distributed privately by the University of Chicago. To complete, or rather to begin, his week, he preaches on Sunday traveling on an average of 120 miles each Sunday. His idea of a perfect day in June is to go fishing I Neil B. Cope, associate professor of English and professor of Journalism is perfectly willing to tell you all about "The Bison" of which he has been sponsor since '36. However, it is only reluctantly that he will admit that he is the official sponsor of the A. C. P. A. For the greatest thrill out of his publicity work, he considers the story of Harding's N. Y. A. students as tops for the year. Chief of his hobbies is "child raising" right now but photography and gardening are important to him. Mrs. E. R. Stapleton-associate professor of English is her title but that hardly begins to describe her relationship to Harding. As concerns her official position though, she usually teaches Freshman Composition, Business English, and a survey course in English literature . Though she has served as editor of a newspaper for two years and still likes printer's ink , she also likes to care for her four-year-old san, Glen Dewey, cook, piece quilts, and play the piano-and even enjoys being for the eighth time the advisor of this Petit Jean with all the headache such a responsibility carries.
To enrich people's lives throug h the s tudy of foreign languages, to develop a better understanding of foreign culture and people, and to improve the knowledge of Eng lish are goal s set by the Language Department . German and French are taught by Dr . Mary McK ittrick who heads the department . A freshman Engli sh class is also under her direc ti on . Fill ed with ambition the accomp li shed Miss McKittri ck concentrates on a new hobby every yea r. Shor thand is the presen t pursu it . Golfing still has the warmest spot in her heart as a spare time ac ti vi ty. Phi Betta Kappa, an honorary scholastic fraternit y, and Sigma Kappa Phi , language fraternity, claim her membership . Because she has travelled extensively in eastern United States and Canada and has read much in a va r iety of fields, she is a fasc ina ti ng conve rsationalist . The colorful language of Spain is taught by Mi ss Fern Holla r. First and second year Spanish, Advanced Conversation and Composition, and a Survey of Modern Prose are offered. Since sophomore days in high school Mi ss Hollar has wanted to do someth ing with Spanish . Her final ambition is to be an interpreter. like Miss McKittrick she delights in swinging a golf club and travelling . She has seen parts of Mexico, Canada , and half the States. Dr . J . N. Armstrong teaches first year Greek. Designed primarily for student preach - ers, it gives a knowledge of the Biblical language he lpful in arriving at the mast correct English translation. Besides teaching Greek, Dr . Armstrong acts as Dean of the Bible. Wolk into his cosy living room any day and you're li kely to find him sea ted before the open fire, writing on hi s lap board.
In the Dramatics Deportment the general purpose is two -fold- first, to study dra - matics from various points of view and second, to uphold the good nome of " The Campus Players ." " Drama", according to Mrs . O. M. Coleman, director of dramatics , " is just a s tudy of human nature for eve ryone is a dramatist a t hea rt . I t is practical because it teaches an approach to people ." Thi s yea r the Campus Playe rs produced three three-act plays. Each member of the club has a cha nce a t roles in these ploys and has a t least one role in a one-ac t play during the year. Bes ides teaching and keeping house for her famil y, Mrs . Coleman writes plays , reads, and finds time for horseback rid ing. Mrs. J. N . Arms trong epitomizes the Speech Depo rtment fo r Harding s tudents. Speech is nat on ly her wo rk ; it is he r hobby. Courses of fe red by the department range from Voice and Phone ti cs to Radio and Dramati cs. " The te rro r of her life " is what Mrs . Armstrong termed a freshman class in Public Speaking, but all the res t of her work is just part of her hobby. When she's not engaged in same phase of speech work you 'l l find her in the ya rd .
E. R. Stapleton, efficient Business Administration professor, received his B. A. degree at Harding and M . C. E. at the University of Oklahoma . He also has a diploma in Busi - ness Training from Tyler Commercial College. He is a membe r of Pi Omega Pi , honorary commercial fraternity. Rearing a young son is hi s chief interest . He is very affectionate to him, still he trains him well. His love to paint is shown by a dipl oma in art . A collec tor of Indian reli cs, he has tomahawks, arrowheads, and pa int pa ts. He has a garden, is an admirer of flowers , and raises prize chrysanthemums. Always happy and accommodating , he advoca tes the need of more Christian education in the world. Professor Ernest W . Gibson teaches general cou rses of Economi cs and Finance, Audit - ing, etc . He has really trave ll ed around to get hi s education having received his A. B. at Transylvania, M. A. at Kentucky University, worked on a Ph . D. at Northwestern , and done graduate work at Ohio State, Peabody, Alabama, and Indiana . By teaching a Federal Income Tax course he helps students with the ir future wo rries. He spent a quarter of a century teaching in high schoo ls. Through voluminous readi ng he endeavors to keep pas ted an current history . Mus ic of all sorts is appealing to himespecially light classics and operettas.
Defense industries are calling for trained chemists and phys ici sts. Therefore, the chief objective of the Physica l Science Department thi s year has been to qualify its students for these vital positions. Three majors are now working with DuPont- L. D. Froshie r, L. E. Pryor and Tulon M cRight and one, Wayne Hemingway, in the Ford laboratories. Others are rapidly preparing for simil ar work . Three chemistry majors have been engaged in private investigati ons. Louis Green and Wayne Hemingway have studied rates of diffusion in silica gel s and among other results have obtained some remarkable crystals and rhythmic banding . Kern Sears has al so worked on Liesegang rings, studying especially the rhythmic condensation of water vapor when ce rtain mixtures of hydrogen and air are burned . Mechanics, heat , light, sound, and electricity were studi ed in Physics. Dr . Charles Chapman Snow, genial head of the department, is calm, unhurried , and efficient . The sou l of gentleness, he can show a pupil a mistake withaut deflating hi s ego too much . His appearance is invariably neat and he is faithful in the smallest details of any work he undertakes. Believe it or not , Dr. Snow will be found in hi s spare time in the kitchen mak ing tempting pastries or outdoors beautifying his lawn. Puerto Rico was th e scene of a few years of Dr. Snow's teaching career. Curiously, it was there that he met Mrs. Snow, a fellow American teaching in the some school. Virginia is hi s native home and its venerable William and Mary College, hi s Alma Mater . Serving as laboratory assistants and port-time instructors under Dr. Snow this year were Laui s Green, Kern Sears, and Ernest Salners.
Gaining a general knawledge of laboratory methods and the physiology and anatomy of plants and animols is the a im of the majority a f cou rses offe red by the biology department . By frequent hours in the laboratory study ing and dissecting spec imens, the student gains first-hand knowledge of the st ructure of living things. Cyril Abbatt, who heads the depar tment , is c lai med as an alumnus by a handful of universi t ies incl uding Ohio State from which he obta ined his Ph . D. a nd Johns Hopki ns where he did post-graduate wo rk. At present he is testing the nutritional va lue for flies of various suga rs as compared with their taste appeal. He has written for severa l scientific publications, and is at present compiling a dictionary of biological terms. " I once knew a chap" is a cha racteri st ic introduction to one of Dr. Abbott's frequent lecture illustrations. Music, drama, ort , and litera ture claim hi s interest as a connoisseur and also as a participant. S. A. Bell, associate professor of biology, teaches two practical courses-Gene ti cs wh ich covers the fundamental principles of inhe rit ance and Personal Hygiene whi ch is human physiology with emphasis on personal care of health. Prof. Be ll o lso belongs to the Bible Faculty regularly teaching Old Tes tament hi s tory. He has been with the school in every hardsh ip and need for over for ty years. He is a homelover and is frequently seen working about hi s ya rd ond garden.
"Please tell people that home economics means much more than sewing and cooking," emphatically stated Mrs. S. A. Bell, Home Economics Department head . All home economics courses teach a girl culture as well as ski ll and fit her for gracious social living in any situation. They teach her in the classroom and laboratory the equivalent of ten yea rs' experience in homemaking . More equipment is available in Harding's home ec deportment than is usual in small colleges or even in larger ones. Practical experience in applying what the girls have learned is an outstanding feature . Faculty teas, dinners, and receptions, ore given under supervision, every girl participating in one such entertainment each term. Success in a new hobby every yeo r is the ambition of Mrs. S. A. Bell who heads the department . Her li st of accomplishments is impress ive and includes painting, a collection of unusual buttons, a fl ower garden, and a knowledge of photography including developing and enlarging . Someday she hopes to collect antique furniture for a dining room suite . At Boll's Orphan Home in Quinlan , Texas , Mrs . Bell was mather to thirty-nine small girls for three years . She planned a nursery for two-year-olds and under at that time which has s ince been cons tructed . Teoching the practical courses in clothing is Mi ss Elsie Mae Hopper whose Alma Mater is Harding . Miss Hopper applies her knowledge of home ec outside the classroom in such se rvi ce clubs as the Eastern Star. Motoring is her favorite pastime and she is proud of her pretty green Ford . t
Smiling John Lee Dykes, head of the Math Deportment teaches interesting courses in Anolytical Geometry, Socialized Math, Plane Trig, and Calculus-not to mention the ordinary run of the mi II. Despite a full schedule of teaching he preaches almost every Sunday, directs the work of about twenty preaching students, and teaches in the teacher training course down town. He is chairman of the library committee also. Food rationing will be no pro~lem to him with his productive hobby of raising 600 chickens. He is interested in more systematic Bible and Sunday school teaching and reads much in that field, feeling sure that this work will better the world's morals. Just as the Indians were here when the pilgrims landed, so Miss Catharine Score, our librarian, was on the campus when Harding College arrived. She had been with Gallaway College for ten years and now seems like part of the library. There are 17,145 volumes charged to her meticulous care and the yearly circulation is obout 10,000. Periodicals are subscribed to which cover all departments, 115 magazines in all . Les - lie's Illustrated Newspaper from 1857-1885 is one of the library's rare possessions along with the New York Herald for April 15, 1865, reporting Lincoln's assassination. Esther Marie Clay and Morie Chunn were seniors who assisted in the library work. Knitting and reading at the same time constitutes Miss Score's unique hobby. A subtle sense of humor is Miss Score's and you will often see her with a twinkle in her eye. In her library work she is conscientious and will not rest until a lost book is found.
C. D. Brown The business office-the place where the "painless extraction method" of securing payment from students is practiced is the office of Bu rsar Brown. Here he is pictured with two of the student helpers, Caudell Lone and Ber tha Smith. In addition to the studen t transactions. all problems and financial affairs of the two forms, laundry, and College Club pass through the honds of Bursa r Brown. A sub post office station is maintained in the business office. When not in his office greeting students with t he phrase "Let's decorate the ma hogany," he likes to fish or read to his children. Ea r l Smith Associated with Hardmg this year is Eorl Smith, su· perintendent of buildings and grounds and maintenance engineer on top of that. His hobby is anything mechanical and that is rather strange for a man who knew nothing but horses and saddles on a Texas ranch until he was twenty years old. Brother Smith preaches, too, and established two congregations at Clay ton, New Mexico, whi le he was there in the government service. M rs. A. B. Chand le r "Ma"Chandler doily feeds 200 hungry students. She is the college dietitian who w:elds the "big stick" in the kitchen, and isn't so small herself. "Be on time" is her motto. She has over 2,000 recipes to show for her hobby and her first love is fixing diets for sick people. Mrs. J . Ha rvey Dykes "We've been very lucky with thirteen," says Mrs. Dykes, malron of the thirteen girls who live in "Gray Gobles," the three-story frame house south of Pattie Cobb Hall. The Qirls do light housekeeping with Mrs. Dykes as their second mothe r . Sewing of all sorts occupies much of her time and she teaches the ladies'Thursday afternoon Bible closs.
M rs. Rox ie L. Rosson Mrs. Rosson, motron of Godden Hall, endeavours to maintain in the dormitory a cultured atmosphere similar to whot the boys live in at home. Every morning she inspects their rooms encouraging good housekeeping. She answers the dormitory phone, mends socks, offers council, and contributes in many ways to their welfare . Mrs. J. L. Dykes Mrs. Dykes, direc tor of the College Book Store, has efficiently handled over two thousand books this school year, not including the volumes ordered for the library. She is always especially willing to help preachers obtain the books they wont. Doris Healy, Mrs. Dykes' able assistan t , t ries to sel l a book to eve ryone who enters. Mr s. Loui se Mil es A native of Texas, Mrs. Louise Miles who nurses the 200 dormi tory students has had doctors and nurses in her family from way bock the re. Travel books, biographies, and current scientific litera ture claim at tention In her prec ious bi t of spore time- when she's not horseback riding. Nurse Miles won ts it known that she is able to discern the love germ from bacteria. O. M. Colemon "Speedy" Coleman, campus electriCian, plumber, and bus driver, was Harding's "handy man." When not off the campus wi th one of the studen t groups he found time to clip the hedges and prune the shrubs and trees. At home he has on apia ry which produces f rom 400 to 500 pounds of honey yearly. Horold Kohl er Harold Kohle r, s tudent direc tor of Harding College Press, had three years' experience as assis tant for the Ha rding Press which serves him well today for the shop is a busy place. Every printed article used by the college is produced at th e shop . Ero Modge Elli s, cne of hi s assistan ts, is pi c tured with him .
