"And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace Tetu", to you." - Matthew 10: 13 Foreword "Peace, perIect peace, in thi s dark world of s in : The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed: To do the will of Jesus-this is rest." We have endeavored to make th is Petit J ean a mirror whe rein you might find reflected vividly the peaceful yet enthusiastic life on the campus during 1945-46. It is our wish to preserve some tangible memories of the splendid , though invisible, spirit of our college. If at any time you find a picture or a word that wi ll recall pleasant memories, our book has served its purpose and we are the happier for our labors.
This • IS our dedication to . • • • • • PATTIE HATHAWAY SEARS For the beauty of her unassuming life of service to all, for her loyalty to high ideals and for the shine in the eyes of her "primary children" when they see her coming-we, the Senior Class of Harding College, gratefully dedicate the 1946 Petit Jean to PATTIE HATHAWAY SEARS.
To those men who have fought and given their lives in the great struggle for peace, we pay tribute.

Some things at Harding may be forgotten but not the daily chape l period at 10 o'c lock. All who attended Harding attended chape l and a ll received some bless ing by t hi s service. It wa s not a mere a ssembly; it was a per iod o( worship - a period for God. Not h ing helped so muc h to ins till the Ch ri stian spirit a s th is daily service. An atmosphere of reverence and de votion su rrounds the students and teachers as they worship. Singing, led by Bro. Jess Rhodes, prayer and scripture reading characterize the worship period. Vis ito rs were a lways welcome because o f their inspiring and helpful messages . The faculty al so gave practica l and helpful messages because of their association with the s tudents. ------===DAILY CHAPEL SERVICE~-
