As the pages of this memory book are slowly turned, we. the staff of the '44 Petit Jean. hope that the Christian principles of our Alma Mater will be renewed. It is our purpose to establish by picture and words the memories that hold Harding near to our hearts. Although our country is one of the many involved in war, we, at Harding are striving to uphold Christ. His life and His work. We strive to uphold the ideals for which many are fighting and giving their lives. 100689
::Declicalion TO MRS. B. F. RHODES, Whose contributions to the cultural and spiritual advancement of Harding College has been felt by Harding students for more than a quarter of a century. the 1944 Petit Jean is dedicated as an expression of our appreciation of this worthy woman, the mother of five Harding graduates.
MRS. B. F. RHODES
To her Christian environment, Harding draws approximately four hundred fifty students from twenty-five states and Canada. Northern and southern customs combine in constant association making life-long friendships. Since the students are guided by a faculty well trained in Christian education. the Bible and its principles naturally radiate through every branch of learning. "Christian standard is her motto; Christian life is stressed." Wholesome work and play is a vital part of the Christian education of every Hardingite. The Alma Mater describes Harding as nearly as words can express.

Each school day morning the students and faculty members assemble in the auditorium for a brief period of worship. Here we share our joys and sorrows and offer our prayer as a united petition. In our chapel periods we enjoy the speakers who bring us vital messages which may always be applied to the daily life of each of us. Lives are influenced for good in these short periods of worship. Well-trained Bible teachers guide the young preachers in their work and help them with their many problems. Great possibili t ies and power lie in these young men. Their lives on the campus make us know and believe in the success of t heir chosen fi eld. Each week-end boys fr om thi s group go o~t to congregations, in Arkansas. Tennessee, Missouri. and other neighbor ing stat es. Many d iscouraging experiences are the irs but they are determ ined to go on. Many of them enjoy the hospitality of homes and Christian generos ity. These young preachers are enthusiasts and are ready to go to work.
Under the direction of the College church, the young ministers have a chance to develop and grow in their church work. The Monday Night Meeting gives them an opportunity to de li ver messages and defend the faith . Problems facing the youth of today and tomorrow are discussed and each one is encouraged to make sure he can defend his position with the Bible. Because the Bible is the real guide to the development of Christian character, everyone is required to enroll in one Bible class. Brother Armstrong has the Freshmen Bible student work which he likes very much. He teaches Acts, Matthew, and Hebrews to these Freshmen classes. Brother Baxter, Brother Rhodes, Brother Mattox and Brother Dykes teach Bible classes and aid in the development of Christian personalities in both the young men and young ladies. With Brother Benson as the leader , there has been a new class meeting this year known as the Personal Evangelism Class. This class meets each Friday evening for an hour and valuable instruction is given for those who plan to do mission work. Members of this class will go to fields this summer to practice the things that they have been taught. This class will be represented in Michigan , Ohio, New York, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, and Utah. Classes like this will aid greatly in evangelizing the world. This class replaces and broadens the work formerly done by the Missionary Forum.
At the close of the day's activity the girls assemble in the reception room of Pattie Cobb Hall for vesper service. Mrs. Florence Cathcart directs this group In reading inspirational Bible passages, prayer, and singing of hymns. Another period of worship is also conducted by Mrs. Mack Greenway and the girls in East Wing, while the girls in Grey Gables conduct their own vesper services in the various rooms. There is a similar service in the boy's dormitory. It is conducted by a group of boys who are interested in their own spiritual development and that of their associates. These meetings inspire the students and increase greatly their faith in God. J. " . A I'l11strong Mrs. J. "', Armstrong Four of the faculty members ha\'e served in Christian school work forty years or more. These faculty members were honored at a banquet given May 4 by the college and faculty members. B.

The annual lectureship is another feature of Harding's year-around program for developing better Christian personalities in every student. The most outstanding preachers of the church are brought to the student body and visitors of the school throughout the Thanksgivi ng Week. Reali zing that the future of the church depends upon the young Christians of today, this year 's subjects were centered around the problems of the church regarding youth. Christian Education was the general theme. Brother Harold Hawley of Flint, Michigan, an experienced teacher in the public schools of Michigan, gave several lectures on "Christian Education." Other speakers appearing on these programs were: Harvey Scott, William Medearis. S. F. Timmerman, Clifton Ganus, Hall C. Crowder. Charles Pitner. K. C. Moser. Howard A. White. E. W. McMillian, Ulrich R. Beeson, J. N. Armstrong. and Lewis F. Mills. Brother Wade Ruby of George Pepperdine College, Los Angeles. California, did the preaching in the spring meeting of the college church. This meeting was conducted from ~larch 19 to March 26. An outstanding va r iety of subjects were discussed in the evenings and chapel periods. Throughout every lesson and throughout the meeting the objective of exalting Christ and emphasizing the practicability of Christianity was dominant. WADE IW BY
;:bownlown Cong-reg-alion The congregation of the Church which meets in the attractive red brick building downtown. offers further opportunities for Harding students to develop spiritually. The Wednesday evening prayer meeting service of this congregation is well attended by our students. The programs at these meetings include many of the student preachers in our schooL This gives them invaluable opportunities to de\'e!op in the Lord's service and trains leaders for the Church. Brother T. H. Sherrill is the full time minister for the Downtown Church. Each Sunday morning at 7: 30, the Downtown congregation in conjunction with the congregation which meets at the college, sponsors a one-half hour radio broadcast over station KLRA. Little Rock. The singing on these programs is provided by an informal chorus of about twenty Harding students. They are under the direction of Edwin Stover. a student preacher and a senior in Harding College.

The sextet sings on many programs with the chorus, is featured in concerts with the men's glee club, and is composed of Betty Jane Carter and Jeanne Chouteau, first sopranos, Marguerite Barker and Patricia Halbert, second sopranos, Mildred Lanier and Carmen Price, altos. The mixed chorus is the largest music organization at Harding. Its members are determined by a love for singing and a willingness to work. The longest trip this year was late in January through parts of Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi. A few short trips throughout the year were made by the chorus. Because of tire and gas rationing the chorus could not go in person to sing, but made and distributed a large number of recordings of hymns, spiritual songs, and secular numbers. An annual program was given by the chorus in a twilight Christmas concert. They also engaged in a Thanksgiving devotional service at 6: 30 in the morning. Under the baton of Mr. Leonard Kirk, the chorus worked and had fun, and its activi - ties were a source of inspiration for the members and also those who heard them. Christine Neal was accompanist for the group.
• Harding's department of music provides a wide range of singing experiences for all degrees of musical talent. About one-third of the student body sings in one of the music groups. Musical experience may also be received in the glee clubs, hymn directing, and soloist training. The girls' glee club is perhaps the most colorful of these groups. Under the direction of Mrs. Florence Jewell, the girls participate in various programs throughout the school year. Several of the concerts were combined with the men's glee club and chorus. Ann Richmond and Mereda Jackson served as accompanists for this group. Mr. Leonard Kirk conducts the men's glee club, a group open to everyone interested In doing his best to sing. Always a favorite in concert performances, this group worked hard to learn a large varietv of numbers and strove for excellence in singing. Ann Scarbnrough and Janet Rea sen'ed as accompanists.

Mrs. B. L. Oliver, instructor in piano, has been a valuable asset to the music department as a member of the faculty. Mrs. Oliver has taught piano in Searcy for many years. The piano students were presented in recitals in the winter and spring quarters. These recitals and various chapel performances were evidence of a great deal of training, talent and hard work. Four practice rooms in Grey Gables encourage these students to devote more time to their practice periods. From this group the accompanists for chorus, sextet, and the glee clubs are chosen. Some of the students of piano entertained at banquets, teas, and club entertainments throughout the school year. During the six years that she has taught piano and violin in Harding College, Mrs. R. A. Ward has become essential to our organization. Several members of this group attended some outstanding concerts in the Robinson Auditorium in Little Rock. Zimbalist, violinist, and Firkusny, pianist, were heard in two of these concerts.
The voice department under the d irection of Mrs. Florence Jewell is one of the departments that has shown rapid growth and progress. The aim of this department is to teach voice students good tone quality and diction. Mrs. J ewell also instills in the pupil a love for and an appreciation of good music. Regular class recitals were held and all voice students participated. each receiving the criticism of the group. Voice students Entertained various business and professional clubs. They were also featured as soloist with other music organi zations. Miss Ruth Langford, head of the Art Department, very efficiently guides her students in their class ac ti vities. Sally Ann Ammerman and Nelda Justiss are two of the advanced students of art. The Art Department was opened to visitors Thanksgiving Lecture Week. Another special exhibit was shown April 1-22.
The annual oratorical contest which is sponsored by the Bison was held this year in connection with the Speech Festival. Weldon Casey and Mary Bess Love won top honors in the men's and women's divisions respectively. Mr. Casey spoke on "The Stars of the Future" and Miss Love on "Our National Flag." T. Coy Porter and Mona Belle Campbell, runners-up in the contest, spoke on "Freedom for All" and "God's Jew." The orators were judged on subject matter and delivery. For two years Dr. Samuel B. Pettengill of South Bend. Indiana. has sponsored an essay contest on America's Constitutional Liberty. This contest is designed to stimulate an interest in and a better understanding of our constitution which will safeguard our liberty and our American way of life. A faculty committee serves as preliminary judges of the essays and sends them to Dr. Pettengill who chooses the winner. A prize of sixty dollars, fifty dollars by Dr. Pettengill and ten dollars by Mr. R. E. Dutcher of Pierce, Nebraska, is given to the author of the best entry. Entrants in this year's contest are Diamond Perkins, T. Coy Porter, Wyatt Sawyer, Weldon Casey, and Dale Larsen. They also entered these papers as an event in the annual speech festival.

KEIUIIT ARY Kermit Ary, a senior and Physical Education major, was student director of the Physical Education Department. Mr. F. W. Mattox has done more class room work in Social Science and Bible this year. With the supervision of Mr. Mattox, Kermit has conducted an intramural program that has been most outstanding. The intramural program has been a part of the Physical Education Department's work for several years. With the intramural program many students who are not best in a game have opportunity to take part in sports. Those who do not excell in sports get as much pleasure from the games as those who do excel!. Standing: Joe Cannon, N. Watson, C. Shaffer, S. Roper , R. Rowland K. Ary, W. Sawyer, J. Ganus, C.

FlEW DAY Each student must be enrolled in a physical education class so that he may be physicall~' fit and in good condition all the time. Because of the shortage of manpower each student in school is encouraged to keep in good physical condition so that hours, davs, and weeks will not be lost from working at vital jobs. This department has been an aid in this physical fitness program. WRESTLING Many minor activities are engaged in by all students. Horseshoes , horseback riding, boating, croquet, badminton, and boxing. Winner in the badminton singles was Kermit Ary; in doubles. Edwin Stover and Kermit Ary.

John Cannon SOFT BALL Sidney Roper, Wyatt Sawyer, Joe Cannon. James Ganus, Virgil Lawyer, Colis Campbell, Kermit Ary, Thomas Love. Many boys took part in the team games, soft ball. basketball and volley ball. The winning teams work hard, of course, but all the boys likewise put their best into the games. In the team work the boys are not only strengthened physically but are also developed in sportsmanship, leadership, and character.
Archery, wrestling, table tennis. football and swimming are all major activities in our integrated program for healthfulness through play. Large numbers of the boys sign up for these int ramural sports each season. The brawny fellows who now wear the titles of champion wrestlers won these honors with many a grunt and groan. There are various divisions of the wrestling tournament. Table tennis is one of the best-liked year-round recreations at Harding. It gives the students an opportunity to use the same techniques learned in lawn tennis but it is less strenuous and requires less time to playa match. Archery is one of those more refined sports which Harding students may enjoy. A great predominance of warm, sunshiny days otTers many opportunities for participation in this out-of-doors pastime. In the cold winter months the Intramural Program swings into a touch football tournament. This part of the directed athletic program is a favorite with the boys. Swimming is a popular sport in the winter as well as in summer. During the winter months the pool is steam heated. The intramural swimming meet was held late in the \\'inter quarter.
~ouch * In intramurals, the problem of selecting teams presents itself. Chance rather than ability determines the team, so that competition is usually very close. Consequently, the winners often owe as much to hard work as to any other virtue . Members of the winning teams are given points toward the jackets and medals which are presented to the most outstanding athletes at the end of the year. An all-star team is also selected and points are likewise awarded for representation on this squad. Touch football takes a large place in our athletics. Each year five or six teams are chosen and the winner is determined. Pictured here is a part of this year's winning team: Kermit Ary, center; Joe Cannon and James Ganus, guards; and Thomas Love, backfield. Bob Totheroh and Bill Smith are not pictured. Richard Chandler won the archery tournament this year. Richard takes great interest in archery and makes his own bows and arrows. The basketball free throw is a shorter event in our intramural competition. It takes little time but it does require skill and steady nerves. Bill Smith won first honors in this division. John Cannon was second place winner. Smith and Cannon were center and forward respectively, on the winning Sophcmore basketball team.
(jirg '.!}nframuraf Acfivified CAR ~I E" PH ICE The girls' physical educational program was very successfull y carried out under the direction of Carmen Price. An outstanding athle te, she was we ll fitted to lead the g ir ls. The intramurals program was based on a sys tem of points. A certa in number of points were g iven t o each g ir l who entered the events and add itional ones were given to the winners. R. J. W esson E. Ruby M. Barker F. Douthitt C. Price J. Blackbum M. B.

r I " II _~. C, t • • . • "\.""-JI ' To Ih ... Harding Studeut s of 1944 : It is a genuine satisfaction to pen a message to the Harding College student body of 1944, where. by the grace of God. the unusual never ceases to happen. While many colleges have closed for want of students. and while many others have been kept open only by the presence of those in militar? training. the Harding dormitories have remained crowded. with only civilian students, coming from twenty-five states and Canada. An ever-present consciousness of the raging global V·lar. with its terrible destruction of life and property. has had its sobering influence on us all. You have been our most ser ious-mi nded student bod? Harding College is proud of you. We know the wor ld will be better because of you. Great opportunities lie before you. Be ambitious! May God bless ~' ou in holding fast the true values of life amidst the confusing problems of today; may He guide you into more and more strategic centers of service as you advance along life's venturesome way. Sincerely. GEORGE S. BENSON President •
