Carol Carter, a freshman from Barnhart, Mo., was injured in a car accident November 16 and she died the next morning. A special chapel service in her memory silenced a sometimes noisy student body as their thoughts were turned to the things in life that are eternal. Carol would have been 20 on December 28. Her character and sweetness were evident, not only in the shared memories, but in the concreteness of notes received by the beaux of her social club on the day of her death and the cards her parents received from her many friends at Harding. Carol Carter ] ason Roberts, a senior Bible major who sat near her in chapel, wrote a Bison story commemorating Carol's life. "Carol's chapel seat remains empty, but her humor and gentle spirit will long echo in the minds of so many she touched," he said. "Her spotless character, her courage, her attitude and her lovely disposition showed her to be a woman who was remarkably faithful to her Lord." Carol's father wrote, just days after her death, "I've learned a lot about my daughter... that make me so proud. She touched the lives of so many people in such a very positive way, people we've never met." Memorials -----~315
