Living in the dorm at Harding was a unique experience for most students. Many students developed spiritually, academically, and socially during their months in the Academy dorm. A number of students spent their study hours in the library doing research which would prepare them for college, a goal which is set by most students in the Academy. Social clubs gave girls a chance to know one another better. Girls in the clubs learned to organize work, choose worth-while projects, and accept responsibilities. Pledge week, banquets, and the second functions were exciting for everyone. The members of the Junior basketball team eagerly learned the basic skills of the game, and developed co-ordination in executing these skills. As the school year drew to a close, the students looked forward with anticipation to the future, yet each felt compelled to look back on his years in the Academy and to consider the uplifting activities in which he had participated while at Harding.
