COLLEGEDALE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

For the first time in Collegedale
history a civic organization has begun
to function at Southern Missionary
College. This organization, known as
the Junior Chamber of Commerce, is
affiliated with the national and state
organizations throughout the country.
The Collegedale Jaycees have a mem-
bership of 79 after two months of suc-
cessful operation.

The purpose of organizing such a
chapter at Collegedale is to attempt to
knit together activities of community
residents and the Church and College,
and to act in matters and in cases
where the college has been assuming
responsibilities for lack of a civic
group. The organization has several
Collegedale Academy and Southern
Missionary College alumni who are
active in the organization. The officers
are: president, Craig S. Parrish; 1st
vice-president, R. C. Mizelle; 2nd vice-
president, Dewey Urick; secretary,
Roy Battle; treasurer, Winton Preston.

Some of the successful pr^DJects I
which the Jaycees have completed thus
far are as follows:

Census of Col'et;edale community Tliis I
information has been gatfiered and is to be
re;ained in a file for further reference.

A Father-Son Kite Contest which w
completed only a week or two ago.

Actively helping with the selling of Mrs.
Dietcl's Coliif pups while slie has been re-
covering from her accident.

The completion of a membership drive
which more than doubled our membe.ship.
The drive be ng under the chairmanship of
Fred Sanburn and Ruben Lopez, acting
chairman, during Mr. Sanburn's absence.

It is the Collegedale iaycees' pur-
pose- to do bitter things for our com-
nunily and to get a bitter response
from our community residents in
civic matters.

Our ultimate goal this year is to
provide a fire truck for Collegedale
Community. This fire department
would serve the surrounding areas of
Ooltewah and Apison and would op-
erate on a subscribers' basis.

The new building will house si.\ studios. 1 i
ractice rooms, a band room, a classroom, a

iipplied lor the building, including new pianos,
in elettric organ, and a publit .iddress system.

Iccording to Mr. Pearman
In a ceremony held \n No\ember, the cor-
lerstone of the new building was laid. High-
ighting the program was the address of Harold
\. Miller, head of the music department who
las taught for n years at SMC.

Inside the cornerstone were placed scrolls
)n which were writt>.'n the signatures of over
<()() alumni, students, construction men, faculty
ind board members, and community friends. A
dig. "Someday He'll Come Again, ' the words
ind music of which were written b\ Professor
Vliller. was placed inside the stone.

Dear Alumnus . . .

I If it were mv privilege to meet vou on the
Campus to-day, what would I say to you r"

I know several questions I'd ask, such as:
Where are you located now; in what work arc
you engaged; how is the family; how many chil-
dren do you have now; and last, but by no

I means least, Jesus is coming .soon; are you
ready to meet Him.'

Most of those questions you could answer
so well by writing to me. Won t you sit down
right now and tell me all about yourself.'' If
you have a snapshot of you and your family,
please send it along, too. We are anxious to hear
from you — to share information about you with
many alumni friends scattered all over the
world. Won't you write to-day.-' Thanks so
much. — RoscOE C. MiZELLE. Pres/Jenl.

As this report comes to you, during the
dosing hours of the Christmas Season and on
the verge of a New Year, we, your officers send
you our heartiest greetings.

It is our hope that the Spirit of Peace will
fill your hearts as it did the hearts of those
lonely shepherds so many years ago. And, as we
face a new year — let us strive for a closer walk
with the One who can give us "peace . , . which
passeth all understanding." Let us resolve that
during this next year — and the remaining hours
of earth's history — we will more completely
represent the Father, v,'ho gave His only be-
gotten Son that "we might have life and have
it more abundantly." to all with whom we
come into contact. To the degree that we are
successful in this resolve, the sooner will He
make His appearance the second time to gather
together His loved ones to that heavenly home.

Southern Mi»$«ionary College Sho^^s
Aeadeuiic* Progress

Richard Ham mill, Dean

I am glad to report to the akimni ol' South-
rn Missionary College that our expansion and
evtiopmtnt continues, not alone in the build-
ig of better physical facilities, but in the tx-
ansion of our curricula, in the improvement
f our course offerings, and in the raising of
ur scholastic requirements.

After registration was over this fall, our
nrolment statistics showed that we had in

hool about forty students more than last
car. A larger percentage of the students in the
reshman class are planning on the four-year
urriculum than in any other previous class.
X'hercas a few years ago a large proportion of
ur students were taking majors in one or two
epartments, we now find that the student
•ody is pursuing classes in a wider range of
lepartments and preprofcssional courses.

To care for the wider interest of our stu-
ents, new curricula are being planned. An
ffiliation has been arranged with the Uni-
'ersity of Tennessee so that we may now offer

prc-Law course for those students who wish
0 follow that profession. Our teacher prepa-
atioii degrees have been revised and the
tandards raised. The ministerial curriculum
s being readjusted to fit in with the new plan
)f the denomination to require ministerial in-
erns to have an M.A. Degree.

Recently several new general reqm'rements

for graduates were instituted. These consist of
requiring every student who receives a four-
year degree to take some work in Sociology
and two new courses, one in the History and
Appreciation of Art and the other in the His-
tory and Appreciation of Music. A course
in the writings of Ellen G. White and her
blueprint of Christian education is required of
every graduate. Moreover, all students are re-
quired to take a course in the Health Principles
laid down in the Spirit of Prophecy. We feel
that these are all significant steps in the train-
ing of our Adventist Youth.

In 1930, as you all remember, our Col-
lege was granted accreditation by the Southern
Association of Colleges at our first request.
It is the custom of the Association that for
three years thereafter, a newly accredited col-
lege must appear before the Commission of
Higher Education to give written and oral
reports and to be questioned regarding the
progress of the institution. The Higher Com-
mission, after the administrative officers of the
school appeared before them for two years,
dispensed with the third year investigation
saying it was evident that our school was of-
fering a quality of education equal to that of
othcT good colleges in the Southland.

I have noticed that in the past two years we
