yTEMORiES are inestimable treasures. "God VI gave us our memories so that we might ive roses in December. " We wish to have you call the rosy memories which you possess of fe on the Southern Missionary College cam- us back in "the good old days." Today amidst ;ie same familiar surroundings which you now many future memories are now being :adc by eager youth who have taken your place. ou would enjoy knowing them.
For a gala occasion in the near future your bllege desires to invite you to return to its ^alks and its halls on the week end of May 3 fid -4 to enjoy an "SMC Homecoming" celebra- pn. It will provide opportunities to become ac- uainted with new faces and new developments n the campus of your college. j Construction will begin on a new home tonomics and cafeteria building before the liddle of April. The dining hall in this unit 'ill seat nearly 400 persons and will afford iners the pleasure of viewing the Collegedale alley through beautiful picture windows. A 5om dedicated to use as a student center will

meet a prevailing campus need by providing a social gathering place for youth. The home economics section of the new edifice will satisfy a demand of long standing. Modern food and clothing laboratories, expandable lecture rooms, and applied arts facilities will be functional as well as attractive.
By the time you arrive for "Homecoming" a new campus grade school should be under con- struction. This development will permit the moving of the academy to the present grade school building and enable the college to be- come fully of age in tilling its place among our senior colleges. The move will prove to be a blessing to Collegedale Academy by giving more independence and a greater flexibility of program to that branch of education.
Yes, you will want to come back home and see at first hand the present and proposed de- velopments since you last viewed Southern Mis- sionary College. A royal welcome awaits you here at your college. Put a circle around the date, May 3-4, and "Come on down to College- dale."

We believe the something that is being done by your Alumni Association is right! With college backing, your Alumni Association is coming to life!
A great deal of work and thought is going into the plans for the first homecoming day at our college. No amount of work or thought can make the week end of May 3 and 4 a success, however, unless YOU plan to be present. The program Friday evening is being planned with the idea of inspiring justifiable pride in the achievements of mission service. SMC Alumni who have served in the foreign field will be especially honored. J. F. Ashlock, one of our graduates and a veteran missionary,
will bring the message. Sabbath morn,ii Alumni will hear the authoritative wir President T. W. Walters.

CHAPTER ORGANIZATIONS
THE Alumni Association to sur\ ive must have two things; namely, new members and chap- ters. We are happy to report that there are two chapters which, with a little effort, can be set into operation again; namely, those of Loma Linda and Washington.
Names have been sent out to areas in which a chapter could be organized. It will be a golden opportunity to renew the acquaintances of school days.
On January 6, twenty-five alumni met at Fine Arts Hall of the college for the purpose ot reactivating the headquarters chapter. President Thomas 'W. Walters and Association President Ted Graves spoke to those assembled. The nominating committee's report was adopted unanimously, which placed Donald West in as president of the chapter; Paul Boynton as vice- president; Bill Hulsey as treasurer; Eimyra Conger as secretary; and Lorene Ausherman as publicity secretary. At the close of the formal part of the meeting, those present were guests of the Association at an informal reception.
Some steps which will assure success for a newly organized chapter are:
1. The adoption of a constitution and by- laws.
2. The adoption of a fee for incident. 1 1 11 mailing expenses (50i^ to $1.00),
3. The acceptance of a project, such 1 quota on an Association-wide student 11 fund, of from |100 to $200 year!) .^j cording to the size of the chapter.
4. Visitation of the chapter, on invitatio association officers at the expense of college.
5. The formulation of a good program each meeting supported by visual aid

The new members joining the music staff are Professor Milo Hill, Pro- fessor Burton L. Jackson, and Mrs. Dorothy E. Ackerman. Miss Thelma Hemme will be joining the Home Eco- nomics department. Professor J. M. Ackerman will become our secretary of admissions, and will direct our testing program. Edgar O. Grundset will be assistant professor of biology.

Were you present at our first Home- oming? I am sure that those of you /ho improved this opportunity' to re- ew old acquaintances, tread the hal- jwed halls of the main building, sit 1 the "soft" seats of the renovated hapel, and walk again over the campus f your alma mater found much to ^member and inspire you for the ears to come. It was a signal pleasure 3 see all of you again, and to fill in le news gaps between your gradua-
tion and today. Now that you have made a start, won't you make the homecoming an annual pilgrimage?
Featured and honored at our first homecoming were the missionaries who left these doors for areas of service afar. A "book of remembrance ' was prepared, and presented by the associa- tion to the college to provide for a per- manent recording of mission service by our alumni.
