This year will be remembered by many people as one of hardship and conflict. However , those who were fortunate enough to be at Harding have memories of a year of peace and happiness as fa,' as such is possible in a world at war. Lest you forget these memories, the staff has endeavored to leave with you a panorama of this year as you have experienced it . The most important part of our school-its spirit-cannot be printed in ink; bu t we shall have served our purpose if this spir it is renewed in your heart as you view the 1945 P e tit Jean. 100690
Tirelessly, unassumingly and unselfishly she has performed her work. asking no favors for herself and never seeking personal honor. Her joviality and dry wit have endeared her to all, and she has been thoroughly appreciative of every kindness shown her. Because of the unselfish service she has rendered us, we, the senior class , do dedicate this 1945 Petit Jean to MISS CATHERINE SCORE, OUf librarian . •

To THE CLASS OF 1945: Almost the entire time of your college career has been during the world's greatest war. The fact that you have been able to remain in college, and have been called upon to endure so little real privation. is a testimony to the great strength of our nation, which for two years has been producing more war materials than all the rest of the world combined. The successfu l termination of the war, which now appears in sight , and in which many of our Harding College boys have given their lives, will not lessen your individual responsibilities. A post-war world must be built anew. Our own American political and economic structure is under great strain, and will go through certain changes. The great need of the hour, at home and abroad, is for honest, sincere, capable devoted leadership in every field of human endeavor. The Christian religion. in which you have been grounded, constitutes the best possible foundation for such sterling leadership. An understanding of the Christ is the world's greatest need·- in fact, its one need. My prayer is that you will ever respond to the increasing calls of a needy world, guided by that same beautiful spirit in which you have responded to the calls of your Alma Mater during these four war years, with their increasing shortages of gasoline, rubber, food, and labor. May the spiri t which made "cotton picking" only fun fill yom entire lives with joy and satisfaction. Sincerely, GEORGE S. BENSON

Transc ripts and past r ecords of all children have been secured and will be kept on permanent file to promote individual treatment of each child . The children have lheir own soc ial clubs and a scout troop has been organized among the boys. In April th e upper three grades made an educa li ona l lou r of Little Rock. This year more than eigh ty children attended the Harding Elementary Training School, which is in connection with the college. The Bible is taught daily by each teacher and regular chapel programs are planned by the fac ulty to br ing cultural and spiritual education to the children.

memoriam Brother Armstrong is no longer with us in person; God has called him home. He was the first president of Harding College and served as its head for twenty-nine years. His service gave the school a pillar of immeasurable strength. He was thorough , longsuffering and fair as a teacher. He was brief, wise and understanding as a councilor. Difficulties were many and trials hard; but he overcame them all as a true Christian. His uncompromising exactness, deep spiritual fervor and simple love exemplIfied what Jesus meant by the greatest being the servant of all. He was studious throughout life and always turned to the Bible itself for his instruction. Through his teaching thousands saw God more clearly and came to a deeper understanding of His word. He worked untiringly to please God and to serve his fellowman. A spirit so great is not dead. It still lives in the lives of thousands whom he has influenced. His picture lingers in the memory of his students. Truly this great and noble character has set us an example which should inspire us to greater achievement in life. - -

Harding pauses at 10 each morning for a period of prayer and song. The remainder of the half-hour is used in var ious constructive ways. Usually faculty members or visiting speakers present inspirational, sp iritual and moral lessons. Bible Cladded lor All With the Bible the principal text every student is enrolled in at least one Bible class each term. Typical of these classes are the two shown. At the right Brother Rhodes is pictured with his class in Romans . Below is Brother Bales with his class in the shorter epistles of Paul.
Many of the students attend the prayer meeting service with the downtown congregation for which T. H. Sherrill is minister. Young men from the college actively participate in these meetings. Great songs of the church are broadcast each Sunday morning on the Searcy Church of Christ program. Those participating in the program are from left to right: Billy Baker, announcer; Tolbert F. Vaughan , Jr., director; Marjorie Waters , Bernard Veteto, Marguerite Barker, Robert Collins. Mary Jo O'Neal, Joseph E. Pryor, Altha May Bosarge, Evan Farmer, Carmen Price, Evan Ulrey, Eugenia Stover, William Collins.

Preacher boys spend eventful week-ends and long days in filling their scattered Sunday appointments. A volunteer, non-credit class, meets weekly to study mission fields and methods. Nearly fifty assisted in actual mission work last summer. Many of the st udents in each dormitory close the day with devot ional services.

Wymer Wi ser, Ann Richmond, Ruby Jean Wesson , Sarah Stubblefield, Harold Holland The Alpha Honor Society is composed of juniors and seniors with outstanding records, a scholarship index of 2.7 being required for juniors and one of 2.5 for seniors. Only a small percentage of either class is permitted entrance. Membership in this group is considered a high honor as requirements are just as high as those for Phi Beta Kappa. Officers were Harold Holland, president, Ruby Jean Wesson, vice-president, and W. K. Summitt , secretary-treasurer. In order to promote a greater interest in dramatics and to encourage the highest possible attainment in acting, staging and directing, the Eta Omega Cast of Alpha Psi Omega was chartered in 1940. To be selected for membership a student must be a Campus Player, maintain satisfactory scholarship, do a specified amount of acting, work behind the stage and show a willingness to work in any needed capacity. Officers were Joseph E. Pryor, president; Dorothy O'Neal, vice-president; and Jane Gately, secretarytreasurer. Dorothy O'Neal, Evan Ulrey, Fanajo Douthitt, J. Woody Sto \'all. Margaret Shannon
• Over six hundred colleges and universities cooperate in publishing an annual edition of Who 's Who in American Colleges and UniveTSities. The book , containing biographies of the students selected by each of these schools, is a means of national recognition for honor students. Basis for inclusion in the publication has been set forth as character, scholarship, leadership in extra-curricular activities, and potential usefulness to business and society. The recognition of the student serves as a reward to him for diligent and worthwhile service.

George Tipps Julia Tranum Monroe Hawley Wymer Wi ser Mabel Sinele Ruby Jean Wesson Sara Stubblefield Clinton Rutherford Since copies of the book are sent to prominent businessmen throughout the nation , it also takes the form of a recommendation of these students to the business world. Business, education, and civic leaders believe that students who are the most prominent while doing undergraduate work will more likely be the most prominent citizens after their graduation. Since it can be an indication of future success, this is an honor well worth the effort of underclassmen. Who} Who I AMONG STUDI NfS IN AM[RICAN UNJVrRSITI[S AND COllfGES
