rArf I , r{ lfr / I r; I I ' ' ' ' The Petit Jean 1957 HARDING COLLEGE SEARCY, ARKANSAS VOLUME XXXIII One of the major aims of everyone attending Harding is to become a part of her way of life, to feel that we belong here, that we are accepted here , and that we are needed here. In time we succeed in this endeavor, and find that not only have we become a part of Harding but she a part of us. It seems only a moment after we make this discovery that our time is up, and we must leave. In order to keep you in contact with life here, and especially as it unfolded this year, 1956-57, the yearbook staff has attempted to bind up a part of Harding - your part - between the covers of this book. Throughout future years may this volume serve to remind you not only of your days at Harding, but also of the Christian ideals and objectives for which our Alma Mater stands. B HEBERT L. STEWART, EDITOR EDSEL HUGHES, BUS INESS MANAGER DR. JOSEPH E. PRYOR, FACULTY ADVISOR

Many students find emplOyment in Harding's recently remodeled cafeteria. Hard work has been a major factor in building the United States from a few scattered colonies to the most influential nation of the world in less than two tenturies. The pioneer farmer toiled long hours -with CJu~e tools while the average laborer today works forty hours a week under ideal conditions with precision tools and equipment. However, it still takes the catalyst of human effort to change raw materials, technical know-how and inventive genius into useful products. The productive capacity of the free American labor force is by far the greatest the world has ever known . Even though there is a tenden cy in some quarters to regard work as menial and degrading, Harding teaches her students to appreciate the dignity and honor of honest work. A Way Of Work • Student workers wax and polish Harding's Student Centerweekly. • •
• College congregation members, led by Kenneth Davis, stand as they raise their voices in praise to God. And A Way Of Worship Most of the early settlers of our country left Europe and came to America seeking a place where they could worship God according to the dictates of their consciences without fear of persecution or intimidation. Our Constitution was written by men of great wisdom who reverenced God, studied the Bible and recognized that each individual has certain inalienable rights. Truly the very foundation of our way of life is laid on the bedrock of Christian principles. Although we are living in an age characterized by secularization, materialism and. catastrophic world wars, Harding is dedicated to emphasizing the great principles upon which our nation is built and to helping each student develop a philosophy of life patterned after that of Christ. Informal worship service, as with this group of married students in Vet Village, shows Christianity being carried into everyday life. 5
The thoughtful expressions of Pat, Roy, and Jerry reflect the scholastic challenge to all Harding students. One of the outstanding features of our American way of life is the unique educational system that we have developed. For nearly two centuries, beginning with the establishment of Harvard in 1636, most of the colleges in our country were founded by religious groups. Near the beginning of the nineteenth century the state university movement began. Today approximately half of the college students attend private colleges and universities while the other half attend tax-supported institutions. Side by side there has developed a huge program of mass higher education and an outstanding graduate and professional program. Harding has made a distinct contribution through its program of American Studies which has become a model for similar programs in other colleges and universities. A Way Of Study • This panel discussion concerning office management shows one of the many educational facilities open to every student. 6 • •
Students settle down for an evening of television entertainment in the Cathcart reception room. • And Recreation Athletic interests are met through Harding's excellent intramural sports program. Outings, such as this, are a vital part of college liCe. Although the work of our forefathers was arduous and their hardships were many, they had their occasions of festivities and relaxation . In the early years of our country, hunting and exploring the vast frontier wilderness challenged the attention of many. Also, the diversity of household du ties gave variety and prevented their way of life from becoming routine and monotonous. However, they had their clambakes, log rollings, turkey shoots, fiddling contests and community sings. Harding provides many types of wholesome recreation for her students. The excellent intramural sports program and open periods for play in the gym enable students to participate as well as to watch. The lyceum series and several art, dramatic, forensic, journalistic and music organizations afford excellent recreational opportunities.
Betty prepares for her teaching career by conducting a history class in the Academy. In order to survive the rigorous conditions in the new world, the Pilgrim fathers found it necessary to develop a spirit of cooperation and service. Men would plow the fields, harvest the crops or build houses for a sick neighbor or a widow in their community. Women served in taking care of the sick and providing food and clothing for those in need . Even though our society has become very complex, the spirit of service remains an important element of the American way of life: The Harding spirit grows out of the humble service rendered in many ways by both students and teachers-visits to the county farm and homes of shut-ins, supplying food and clothing to needy families, and conducting cottage Bible classes being typical examples. Most Harding graduates become teachers, preachers or homemakers-great fields of service. A Way Of Service • • • Russell McNalty conducts services for the local colored congregation. Dr. Roy Wellborne, head of Harding's Student Placement Office, discusses future job possibilities with Ted Lloyd.
Professors find time for a between-c1asses-break in the Student Center. •• And Association With the coming of sunny days and the ravages of spring fever, atudents are drawn to the fish pond to discuss the day's events. . .. Entertainment, enjoyment, and relaxation are provided by formal social club banouets. During the colonial period, the found· ing fathers often lived in stockaded villages for protection. As the frontier ·receded, the settlers continued to live in communities to enjoy the association of their fellow man. The town meeting became the center of . activity in each village and many New England towns still have regular town meetings. One of the outstanding features of Harding is the opportunity it affords young people to associate with fellow stu· dents from all parts of this country and sev· eral foreign countries. In order to facilitate a wholesome social life, a number of social clubs have been organized. Planning for banquets, outings and other club activities in these small groups helps the student de· velop cooperative attitudes . and leadership abili ties. Such associations aid in develop' ing well·adjusted personalities. 9
George Stuart Benson Dedication • • • A man came to Harding College in 1936 with a VJSlon. Today where a dream once stood, the reality now exists because that man placed his trust in God and worked untiringly. Because you have given unselfishly to the service of youth, because you have given courageously to the service of your country, because you have given humbly to the service of your God, we dedicate this 1957 Petit Jean to you, GEORGE STUART BENSON.

Harding's Graduate Program Expands Graduate Class Officers - Claud Danley. vice-president; Louise Shults, secretary; Ron Bever, president. Head or the graduate Bible department - W. B. West In addition to high-quality liberal arts education, Harding offers graduate work at the Master's level in Education, and Bible and Religious Education. The M.A. and M;.R.E. degrees are offered in the Department of Bible and Religious Education. In the M.A. program a student may major in one of four fields- Biblical, Historical, Doctrinal, and Practical. The M.R.E. program requires a minimum of two years of graduate study and is designed for Bible teachers and Christian workers in general as well as for those who plan to devote full time to gospel preaching. The Master of Teaching degree is offered in the Education Department at both the elementary and secondary levels. The curriculum is designed to enlarge and strengthen Harding's program of teacher training since more than 40 per cent of her graduates enter the teaching profession. Teachers get advanced training in subject matter fields as well as in professional education, and courses in school administration may be elected. The objective of the program is the preparation of superior classroom teachers. Persistent effort is made to provide students with excellent educational facilities. This year the graduate wing on the library was completed and several collections of classical works on the Bible have been added to the library holdings. Much time and money is being spent each year in building a functional library for both graduate and undergraduate work. An extension program in both Little Rock and Memphis is conducted by the Department of Bible and Religious Education in order to expand the services of the college. Dr. W. B. Barton, Jr., lives in Memphis and devotes full time to that center. Selected teachers spend one day weekly in Little Rock . Most extension work is at the graduate level. 30
Graduate students, James, Ron, Lawrence, and Walt, pause to examine rare books bought with donations by those attending the lectureship. The student center doesn't lose its attraction just because one is a graduate student. ) Graduate Campus Life Graduate Council - Clifton L. Ganus, Leonard Lewis, W. B.

Seniors - "Where Do We Go From I-Iere" Senior Class Officers - Joe Segraves, vice-president; Stan Schwartz , president; Shirley Fort, secretary. "Where do we go from here?" is a question often asked but not easily answered. Wherever it be~ no matter how far away in time or distance, the memories of college life. and -especially those of the Senior year, will always be held dear. After class elections were over, the class settled down for that last year. Although primarily concerned with their studies, Seniors found some time for social life. The first class party-held in the Emerald Room-carried out a Valentine theme. Music, entertainment and games were provided by energetic class members. The Junior-Senior Banquet and a spring outing concluded the class activities for the year. Looking back over four years of college life and looking forward to the years ahead, the Class of '57 leaves the I-larding campus with courage and humility to render Christian service. Class Sponsor - Joe Pryor 34

Juniors - "Three Years Surely Changed That Professor" Junior Class Officers - Sue Paxson, secretary; Ken Vanderpool, president; Calvin Downs, vice-president. As with Mark Twain and his father so it was with the Juniors and their teachers-the third year of college brought astonishment at how much their professors had "learned" in two short years. Class social life began wi th a party in the Emerald Room with class members providing the entertainment. The traditional Junior-Senior Banquet and the class outing came in the spring. On the outing the class enjoyed hiking, eating and sightseeing. After much discussion and deliberation, the class chose for its project to supply food and clothing to a needy family in Newport, Arkansas. Class Sponsor - Jim Atkinson 50
Juniors explored the great outdoors on their outing. Junior Activity Juniors select clothes to give the needy as their class project. One of many after chapel junior meetings. 51 •

\ ) Sophomores "Thought I'd Learned It All Last Year" .--~ Sophomore Class Officers - "Peachy" Hightower, secretary; Jim Holleman, vice-president; Freddy Massey, president. Class Spoll5Or - Cliff Ganus 58 A bit surprised that after one year in college so much remained to be learned, the sophomore class quickly set about to correct the situation. After the swirl of campaign dust cleared, this being the first year upperclassmen campaigned for office, activities got underway. Not even the rainy season stopped the determined sophomores. Even though the rain fell in torrents on the evening of their first social event, the class of '59 held a weiner roast in the gym. Amid games and entertainment the cold, wet weather was soon forgotten. Being on the "giving end" during social club pledge week is one of the sophomore's rewarding experiences, and, as freshmen will testify, full advantage was taken of the situation. Group social life closed for the year with the spring outing as the class eagerly looked forward to their third year of college. .. . ." ........ I ' .. ,. • •
