To our off-campus friend
With pride we speak of our new status as a full-fledged senior
college, With satisfaction we look forward to the time when the
Southern Union need not go to distant unions for efficient workers
With a willing heart we start on the long road of progress and im-
provement toward the standards set by governing denominational
and stale associations,
On that road to achievement there is one vehicle that only the
students can operate, That vehicle is the school paper. And our
wim here at Collegedale is to have a paper that presents the news
and views about our students, their activities, ambitions, plans. We
want a paper edited, published, and manage d by the student body,
That has been our ambition for along, long time, and now that we
have grown up to be a senior college we are going to see our dreams
realized.
Up until now our school paper, "The Scroll", has been made pos-
sible through the loyal efforts of some of our faithful faculty mem-
hers and students in their odd moments, But this year we are to have
a regular staff to serve on the committees of the paper and bring in
news; a journalism class to help with the editing, and as our faculty
advisor, Miss Giddings, who is at the head of our English depart-
And what is more, you will receive your copy of our paper
every lwo weeks
ment
Since this paper is of the students and by the students, and since
it is for the students and everybody else to read, we must change to
a subscription basis. There will be no more free papers after the
next issue. Other senior colleges put out a subscription paper. Be-
cause you have been so loyal in the past, we are bold to believe that
with your help we, too, can publish a paper.
You will be receiving letters from your friends here at College-
dale. We urge you to subscribe as soon as possible so you will not
miss a single issue. If you want to know all the news from here
all this year, get it by subscribing to the college paper!

SOUTHERN ACCENT
Twins Confuse
S M C Campus
It has been said, “You can't fool all
the people all of the time.” There
was a question of that statement re-
cently when certain girls in North Hall
walked through the lobby or paused to
speak to friends in the parlor.
The girls who have a tendency to
be confusing to other residents of the
girls home are Emma Jane and Li
Jean Coon, and Bertha Sue and Betty
Lou McGuffey. With close observation
students and teachers will be able to
distinguish between the twins
Bertha Sue and Betty Lou (more
commonly known as Bert’ and

girls’ dormitory was officially renamed
Maude Jones Hall. Elder T. K, Lud:
Bate, chairman of arrangements, pre-
sided at the shart service, and Presid-
ent K, A. Wright offered the dedica-
tory prayer. As Conference President,
Elder E. F. Hackman expressed the
compliments of the Union. A poem
for this special occasion was present
ed by Miss Margarita Dietel
Literally hundreds of students who
have attended Southern Missionary
College, some of them now serving in
foreign mission stations, will remem-
bee Miss Jones as she stood before
them in her classroom. To them, her
fesponse to the remarks of Elders
Hackman and Ludgate will have a
familiac ring
This little ceremony has brought
ta me the realization of one of life's
greatest longings—the desire to find
an individual whose affection was
deeply enough rooted to cause forget-
fulness of the homeliness of my name,

stow, at least, part of it upon some un-

‘There may have been a few prom

and ever I have had to comfort myself
with the thought that genuine altruism
would forbid grief over the failure of
either friends or relatives to place up-

tion tag that I had always secretly re-
sented.
Imagine then, my utter amazement
when confronted with the suggestion
that the girls’ home, the very walls of
which are filled with sacred memories

my common-place, insignificant name
And so my yearning has come true

have dreamed. Formerly, [ had hoped

Accent
An accent is for the purpose of showing prominence. At dif-
ferent periods in the history of our nation, the East, the Middle
West, and the West have been prominent for industry, for agri-
culture, Jor mining; for education, for rugged individualism, for
wealth. Now another section of the country is swinging into pro-
minence in the national thinking. That section is the South. "South-
ern Accent Seen for Industry” was the heading of an Associated
Press story from Washington this week The South has become
increasingly prominent in the news during the rapid expansion of
war years.
Southern Missionary College is expanding rapidly. It is be-
coming increasingly well known. It is the only denominational
senior college in the South. It is this year inaugurating a bi-weekly
paper which is the expression of the students of Southern Mis-
sionary College, What is the logical name for that paper?
"The Southern Accent”? That's what we thought, and that's
the way we voted,
S.M.C.
"Southern’—Iv beantiful Tennessee, not too cold in winter;
not too hot in summer; delightfully ideal in spring and autumn.
Well watered at all seasons. The South—land of my adoption if
not of my birth. People friendly, warm-hearted, hospitable. College
ideally located in a quiet little valley surrounded by wooded bills.
Nearly 1,000 acres in campus, fruit, garden, farm, and woodland.
"Missionary"—To prepare young men and young women to
answer the call of God, and enter His service wherever His index

"College—A training school where young men and women
are given a preparation for life's work, We seek so to train our
youth that an earnest desire will be enkindled and fostered within
their hearts to prepare as rapidly and thoroughly as possible to
have a part in the finishing of the work in all the world
Our motto is "A School of Standards,” It is our endeavor to
uphold and sustain the high principles of Chri character
which alone make for true education, and at the same time to
provide a mental training second to none, We believe thoroughly
in the principles laid down in the beautiful and comprehensive de-
finition of true education as found on page thirteen of the book
“Education”.
"True education means more than a preparation for the life
that now is, It has to do with the whole being, and with the whole
period of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious develap-
ment of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers. It pre-
pares the student for the joy of service in this world, and for the
higher joy of wider service in the world to come,”

You gave this school a gift of love—
Your recompense be from above;
Our words of gratitude are frail.
Your heart shall be forever fused
With that pervading spiric used
By God when He formed Collegedale.
Your sway shall never be forgot
By those who love this hallowed spot
Your life of sacrifice has blest
Your soul, most truly pioneer
Lived then, as now, by breath of prayer,
In God's protection finding rest.
A warmth of manner, a charming style,
Together with a cheering smile
Have brought you friendship which no rod
OF man can hope to estimate;
But heaven's book boasts letters great,
“A friend to man, a friend to God.”
This home in which you spent a score
ars shall evermore
Preserve with pride your cherished name.
The youth who find their lodging here
Shall solemnly in holy fear
Keep your ideals, your loyes aflame.

The flies in the dairy barn may not
be heroes, but at least they "go out in
a blaze of glory.” True, their demise
is attended by an unmusical sputter
somewhat like that of water dropped
into hot grease; but the sputter is al
most drowned by the hum of the milk

Too late he feels the force of the cur

Dairy Manager Sets
Forth Aims
Though "Agriculture is the ABC of
education,” according to Mrs. E. G
White, this docs not mean that many
more of our students should be train
ing to become farmers, says Mr. John
B. Pierson, Manager of the College
Dairy
This does not mean, however, that
regular carly rising, responsibility for
the welfare of animals, meeting exact
time schedules the failure of which
would mean tremendous loss—all these
instill lessons of dependability, res
ponsibility and character building
which last through life as valuable as
sets in any yocation.
Further objectives of the College
Dairy, as listed by Mr. Pierson are
1. To furnish employment for both
College and Academy students.
2. To supply the school family with
healthful dairy products produced un:
der sanitary conditions.
3. To be a financial
college
i. To promote good livestock and
good will in the community and the
county.

Milk Production Up
Eighty Per Cent
During 1945
Over ninety gallons of milk are
now being produced each day whereas
only fifty gallons were produced dur-
ing the corresponding period in 1944,""
states Mr. John B. Pierson, manager of
the College Farms and Dairy
Anticipating the demands of an in-
creased enrollment this year, the Col
lege Dairy has been rapidly expanding
during the past few months. According
to Mr. Pierson, new modern milking
machines have recently been added
which not only save time and labor,
but aid in keeping the milk clean and
wholesome.
From the milking pails, the milk is
carried to the “dumping room.” Mr
Pierson explained that from here the
milk is heated to 145 degrees Fahren-
heit for thirty minutes, then pumped
ta the cooling system and rapidly cool:
ed. This rapid cooling, Mr. Pierson
asserted, is essential in keeping the
milk at its highest value in taste
From the cooler, the milk passes
through another filter, into the bottling
vat, and into the bottles. The bottles
are then stored in the cold room to
await delivery or sale over the Dairy
Bar.
College Store
Expands Stock
“The best in service plus the best
merchandise currently available,” is the
motto of Mr. Charles Williams, mana
ger of the new College Store
Although the clerking personnel has
been actively at work in the new loca
tion only since August 10, the store
has already become one of the most
frequented spots on the campus, New
merchandise—including dress materi-
al, greeting cards, and plaid sport
shirts—arrives daily to find its place
among the well-stocked shelves
Additional display cases have been
purchased. The store office, according
to Manager Williams, will

FEA
entimentally Speaking ---
We are sentimentalists, We admit it without apology. We think
being a sentimentalist is pretty good business because that w ay we
enjoy many pleasures that the realists don't seem to understand —
browsing around second-hand book stores—playing old phono-
graph records—talking about the good old days""—these are things
we really like to do.
Another thing about which we're sentimental is our country,
Taken all in all, we think it's the best in the world. When we hear
the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner something happens in-
side us that must be what is generally known as a thrill. It reminds
us of freedom which, incidentally, is of special importance to sen-
timentalists, It also reminds us of a few old friends whom we won't
be seeing around any more
We don't think everyone should enjoy second-hand book stores
and old phonograph records. We do think everyone should be
sufficiently concerned about his country and its
freedom to show
respect when the
"Star Spangled Banner” is played,
During the past few days it has been our pleasure to visit
ald haunts, renew old acquaintances, More years than we like to
admit have become bistory since the "good old days? when we
lived at Collegedale, Coming back is something we wish we'd
done sooner,
We were privileged to be here at the time of the Collgedale
Fairy and, as an amateur critic, we'd like to say we thought it was
pretty good. There was one thing, though. which we didn't like.
When the "Star Spangled Banner’ was sung at the opening of the
Program we couldn't help noticing that many of the people present
didnt seem to recognize it; at least, the y didn't react as we think
fae of college standing should when their national anthem is
played
Maybe things like talking, looking idly around, shuffling and
walking are all right, Possibly we're carr ng our sentimentalism to
an extreme when we object. But somehow tee can't seem to forget
some former students who were very dear to us, some students who
died for the freedom symbolized by the “Star Spangled Banner,”
And somehow we feel certain that a thing worth dying foris a thing
worth revering, :

pounds of A-1 Crimson Clover seed
alone were grown, much of which was
purchased by farmers near Collegedale
At present the farm supplies the

Warns Students
Against Carelessness
During Fire Prevention Week, Fire
Chief Quinn of Chattanooga, Tennes-

body of Southern Missionary College
on Wednesday, October 10, in the reg-
ular chapel! period :
"One thousand families will lose
their homes today because of fire,'*
began Chief Quinn. "130 stores, 100
factories, seven hospitals, seven
schools, twenty-eight lives will be lost
throughout the country.” To be more
specific, fe announced that every nine-
ty minutes a heme is burned, every
fifty minutes a life is lost. Fire destroys
10,000 lives a year and one million
dollars worth of property
Mr. Quinn reminded the audience
that the A.B.C. of fire prevention is,
Always Be Careful."" No one is en-
tirely safe from fire. Continuing his
advice of caution, the Chief mentioned
some common practices which may
cause fire.
Fuses haye an important place in
electrical systems but should not be
tampered with when a short circuit
occurs. Cleaning fluid, gas, and kero
sene should be used in the open air
away from heat. Matches should be
struck away from the face and body,
thus preventing accident of match head
flitting into the eye or Aames into the
fac, In case of fire in'a building, doors
and windows should be kept closed
Stressing the fact that completely
fireproof buildings cannot be found,
Mr. Quinn told of The Book of Hor-
stories of 1,000 schools
haye been destroyed by fire
Closing his remarks, Chief Quinn
told the students that Fire Prevention

Rain
By CONSTANCE RIMMER
I'd like co watch the rain fall down,
To be on some small
cloud
Up where the drops of rain are born
Where I could talk to God
The rain beats hard upon the ground;
The wind bends every tree
Rain hits my face; I hear the sound
Of thunder rolling free
We mortals fail to see God's hand
And all we feel is rain,
But when we reach that fairer land
We'll see the sun again.

New Dry Kiln

Turkish Bath
The new two-battery drying kiln is
drying 50,000 fect of lumber
each week, according to Mr. J. W.
Gepford, assistant general manager of
College Industries, Incorporated
In approximately 72 hours, poplar
lumber previously dried by sun and
air to 20-25 per cent moisture can be
evenly dried to about 7 per cent, the
moisture percentage in furniture lum
ber.
now
To accomplish this even drying, de
vices in the kiln wet the lumber with
sprays of live steam every 30 to 45
minutes. When even the case-hardened
wood is saturated, it can begin to dry
evenly. "The lumber gets life,” is the
way Mr. Gepford expressed the pro-
Even crooked and warped stuff

Large clocks out in the control room
of the kiln show the temperature and
humidity within. Huge fans blow the
air over heating coils and through the
stacks so that it is re-heated five times
in one complete circuit. Every three
hours the fans reverse, and the heat
ed air circulates in the opposite direct
ion.
The temperature in the kiln goes as
high as 200 degrees. Reporters for the
Acc who stepped inside at Mc
Gepford's insistence discovered that

Campu Haircut
The trimmers have been abroad this fall on the campus of
Southern Missionary College. Mr. ]. A. Tucker has loaned a crew
of his college students in horticulture to Mr. James Russell and me
to put the trees and shrubs on the front campus and in the forest
of the nearby valleys and glens and coves in order
Dead trees and misshapen and supernumerary trees have been
removed, dead limbs and interfering limbs have been taken out,
drooping limbs which have impeded the progress and, on wet days

In Re the Academy
Collegedale Academy, formerly known as the Preparatory De-
partment of Southern Junior College, is having a very successful
year. An excellent class of young people are in attendance; and
from the large number of names on the honor roll, they are here
to prepare themselves for future usefulness
Last year the school enjoyed the largest enrollment in its his
tory, but because of the establishment of new conference academies,
the attendance has decreased slightly. It is expected and desired
that most students who have not completed the twelfth grade at-
tend their local conference academy. If for any reason that is not
advisable, the student is invited to send his application to College-
dale.
It is the earnest prayer of the teachers that each student while
here may not only find his Saviour but also decide what the Lord
would have him do as a lifework. As a piano tuner shuts out all
other tones and concentrates on one string at a time in his endeavor
to bring out the perfect pitch that was intended by the maker, just
so it is the aim of the faculty to instruct, counsel, and guide each
student that he may bring his life up to that perfect pitch that his
Master Maker intended it to be. 1D), Gr Hl

Tennessee Christmas
Whited air veiling gracoful spires,
Sagging limbs and loaded wires,
The tinkling boll,
The frosty smell,
Herald the season we know so well—
That kindles within us pootic fires.
Stunted the soul that seoing this
Shall still the spirit of Christmas miss.
But Tennessee, I had often thought,
Lacked that wint'ry wierdness caught
By gifted mon—
Preserved with pon.
Even the bluo sky seemed gloomy when
A grayor sky brought the snow so sought.
Last night those thoughts my mind employed;
When moming dawned they wore destroyed.
Tho arrogant fir was mock today,
Forced to oboisance by ice that lay
Ponderous, thick,
Frigid and slick,
Coating with diamonds each tiny stick.
Tho humble pino in silver gray
Rojoiced at such an carly trim
Of glassy pondants loading cach limb.
The naked tree had its token of love
When Nature slipped her transparent glove
Around cach twig,
Each shiv'ring sprig.
The ice all day in a whirligig
Danced ‘aainst a background of mist above.
Tonight this beauty is promising me,
“We shall have Christmas in Tennessee.”

Quebec, Canada the territory in

French, speaks English perfectly!

“Collegedale Forever has three stanzas, Opportunity is generally
given for singing all of these when the song is used,
The first comes forth with much gusto frorn’ the throats of loyal
Collegedalites, but the second and third are barely discernible.
Not only to the new students, but to the older ones as well who
are tired of mumbling through the last two stanzas, we pass along
the suggestion that they might soon, with a glance or two below, be
able to give the school song with a minimum of difficulty. Anyway,
it may be an item worth considering while thinking about New Year's
resolutions at the beginning of the year.
Collegedale Forever!
By Margarita Diotol
Southern Missionary College,
Glory in your growing fame;
Draw and hold us, "School of Standards,”
By what's noble in your name
Chorus:
Southorn friendships root the deepest,
Southern skies seem always blue,
Souther charm will live forever;
Collegedale, we're true to you.
Nestled snuggly in the foothills
Pierced by lanes for decades trod,
Lies our college, sweetly resting
Near the vory heart of God.
Chorus
Tinkling brooklets, whisp'ring pine trees
Blend with fluttering angels’ wings:
In our cherished “School of Standards”
Truly all creation sings.

High winds sweeping over College-

down a large pine tree behind South

Electricity was stopped to South

lights, heat, or telephone connections.
Mr. R. G. Pearman, with those of
his crew who were here—Mr. Wilber,

This recommendation was made
the recent Secondary Teachers Ins
tute held at the college and approy
by the board on recommendations
The question of proper music or

Theology
The student of theology at Southem Missionary College has four
golden years of opportunity to become acquainted with the doctrines
of the Bible. Our curriculum is Bible-centered. We do not simply
teach the Bible as one of the important subjects in the course of theo-
logy, but by it all other subjects are unfolded. Just as the sermon is
colored by the streams of light that flow from Calvary’s cross, so all
subjects in the ministerial curriculum are colored by the light that
flows from the Book of God's revelations
Of course, the Bible is the most important subject in the entire
curriculum. The minister's curriculum is weighted with such subjects
as Daniel and Revelation, Bible doctrines, teachings of Jesus, Old Test-
ament prophets, New Testament Epistles, and the Spirit of Prophecy.
In addition to this, he uses all of the Bible in his course in prepara-
tion and delivery of the sermon, and in pastoral training and evange-
lism. Ho is taught to know his Bible and do independent thinking in
the course of research in Bible topics. The Bible is his text book from
tho beginning to the end, When he is graduated, he knows what Paul
meant when he said to Timothy: “Preach the word.” Fred B. Jensen
A Fable
Once upon a time not too very long ago, the publishers of Emily
Post noticed that "Blue Book” sales in the state were going steadily
downward. And so they sent their highest-pressured salesman to try
to spoed things up.
Ono day as the book agent was canvassing the Grindstone section
of Tonnossee, he chanced upon a small community in a peaceful
groen valley. He entered the largest building in an effort to discover
what sort of settlement this might be. No one was in sight, but, at-
tracted by sounds of music, he quietly entered what appeared to be
a sedentary free-for-all.
A gontloman was seated at the piano playing a Chopin Noctume;
on the first row a young lad sat clipping his fingernails in rhythmic
pequence; across the aisle a fair maiden worked algebra problems
while she chewed assiduously on a worm-out piece of gum; on the
platform, a faculty momber shuffled a stack of papers; and over all
there was' general buzz of whispered conversation. The visitor was
amazed, but concluded that it was new type of study hall.
Following the eager crowd to the dining room, the salesman found
himself unacquainted with the system of manners in use. Young ladies
came and went from tables while seated young men glanced nonchal-
pnily in their direction. Upon occasion some old-fashioned youth
would hold a faculty momber’s tray in passing, but unknown visitors
wore completely ignored.
Fascinated by tho strange behavior of the inhabitants, the visitor
stayed over until the noxt day to attend the church services. There
his astonishment knew no bounds as he noted that instead of the tradi-
tional quictnoss and formality usually associated with religious gather-
ings, a startling informality prevailed . Members of the congregation
entered gaily chatting with one another; others craned eagerly about
to catch glimpses of what was new in the line of dress, but several
listeners, innocent of hats and gloves, were content merely to sit and
chow gum.
And the etiquette salosm

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and
loved much: who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the
love of little children; who has filled his nicho and accomplished his
task: who has left the world better than ho found it, whether by an
improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul: who has never
lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to oxpress it: who has
always looked for the best in others and given the best he had: whose
life was inspiration: whose memory is a benediction.” ;

Sergeant Clifford Ludington

He told of one time in particular
when the “medics,” while camping
alone on a river, were warned by the
guerrillas that the Japanese were only
one mile down the river. Each man
had to take his turn standing guard.
You can bet it’s a rather horrible feel

As well as describing some scenes
of action, Sergeant Ludington told of
some of the Adyentists he had met on
the various islands. Among these were
natives who hadn't seen white men for
many years. In Iloilo, in the Philip
pine Islands, the church members treat

ing a Japanese flag, some chopsticks, a
Japanese and saber, two dolls
dressed as Jdpanes children, and some
pieces of silk. In g why he

it was a traditional “White Christmas,” with its tinkling sleigh
trees, and gaily lighted windows in that small
village the college reflected the holiday atmosphere in its candle light
service, Christmas carols, and its annual performance of Handel's
“Messiah.” On this occasion the music gained added meaning as it
rolled on from one thome to another, reaching its climax in the Hallelu-
jah chorus. Suddenly there was a dramatic pause in the music and
one woman in the audience, not expecting the silence, was heard to

be
To tho olite in college such a breach seoms almost unpardonable.
Yet the person who could think of baked beans while one of the
world's masterpieces was being performed merits pity. sympathy, and
tolerance, Still such a low-pitched life is not enviable, for it is not
quite good enough.
Among all the lovely things that the students of S.M.C. are at-
tempting this year, would it be too much to suggest “good listening”
at all musical programs? It would mean much to the artist, who tries
to recreate the wonderful themes of the great masters, if he knew that
whispering, reading, writing. and even sewing or knitting were “out-
lawed" at Collegedale. Thus the genuine culture of Athens of old
might be relived if oach student could make the following resolution
his own:
“Let it not be said of me
And to my shame,
That all was beauty here—
Until I came.”

Definition of Courtesy ...
What is truo courtesy? Is it merely doing a good deed for the day,
@ courteous act or favor? Let us investigate and see if we can doter-
mino what true courtesy is.
When I was oversoas I found that tho Oriental people were ex-
tremely hospitable and polite. It seemed that there was no limit to
tho oxtent of their kindness towards the soldiers, but some of it seemed
80 superficial. However those who wore true Christians were genuine-
ly courteous. I shall never forgot how our church members in Panay
throw the doors of their homes open to us and even shared their
Moagor supply of frosh fruits to make sure that we had plenty. Does
Christianity, thon, make a porson courteous? Certainly it will make
him more thoughtlul of the rights of others.
Tho Bible has many examples of truly courteous men. Kindness
and hospitality were meted out by Abraham and Lot to strangers, and
what a blessing they received in rotumn. Paul was not only eloquent
but courteous in his speech bofore Agrippa. Whon Christ was in the
judgment halls He was courteous even to His persecutors.
From these examples, I should like to formulate a definition for true
courtesy. Courtesy is politeness which is genuine and habitual, the
acknowledgment of the rights of others, and the denial of self for the
good and happiness of those around him.

Charles Witt is one of the three
student piano teachers, who is helping
to relieve the congestion caused by che
many students enrolled for private pi-
ano lessons this year. At the present
time, he has a total of 30 lessons a
week, which keep him pretty busy
These students are in
academy and college grades
At present Mr. Witt is a private stu
dent of Mr. H. A. Miller, associate
director of music at the College, and
states that this is his cighth year of
piano. Mr. John D. Jones, of Knox
ville, was his piano teacher prior to
his coming here to attend school
Mr. Witt also has a teacher's certi
ficate from the Sherwood Music School
in Chicago, Illinois, and in 1942 won
the Eugenia Buxton Silver Loving Cup
of Tennessee for being the best pianist
of his age group in the state of Ten:
nessee. The contest in which he won
this'cup was sponsored by the National
Federation of Music Clubs. Last year
he received a high school diploma in
music from the National Guild of
Piano Teachers.
He has studied organ with Mr, €
W. Dortch, director of music at South
ern Missionary College, for one year,
and at present holds the office of or
Banist for young people's meeting. He

West and Southwest, Mr. Dortch
speaks with pride of the accomplish:

His career in teaching and directing
music began in 1915 at Pacific Union
College. Before becoming director of
music at Southwestern Junior College,
where he spent 16 years, he served in
2 similar capacity at Lodi Acad
Galifornia, and Gem State Academy in
Idaho,
Mr. Dortch was granted the bache-
lor's degree in music by the American
Conservatory of Music, in Chicago in
1932, Since then he has studied at a
number of graduate schools and under
outstanding professors, one of whom
is the world renowned baritone and
master teacher, Mr. Louis Graveure
Mr. Dortch has completed all except
his thesis work at the Texas State Uni-
versity where he will receive his nia
tec's degree this coming summer:
Plans have been laid to add to the

ways with a symphony orchestra, if the
reader will imagine himself as a con.

For instance, there are voices that
much resemble the flute; others with a
soft vibrant quality which resemble
the string instruments; some could be
classed with the clarinets; and. still
others could be classified in the horn
group, the oboe, and the bassoon
The original membership of the
choir stands as it was at the beginning
of the school year, with the exception
of two new members, Miriam Hilton

dropped out and these two new mem-
bers were added at the beginning of
the second semester. An_ interesting

Tulips Awe
Vernal Equinox
Tulip bulbs valued at $100 are in
readiness to adorn Southern Mission-

Mr. J, A. Tucker agriculture instructor
in a recent interview. Tulip produc
tion in Holland has increased since
there were no foreign markets during
war years
Here at the College, beds are located
on the lawns of South Hall and the
Press Apartments. Bulbs are also plant
ed along the low wall running in front
of the three major buildings.
Early January found bulbs already
putting forth shoots. A mild winter
and warm rains have accelerated
growth amazingly, according to Mr
Tucker
Inder Mr. Tucker's
Robert Kistler and Muriel
have done the actual work of planting
and tending several hundred bulbs.
At one time, approximately 2,500
tulips bloomed at Collegedale cach
spring, and Mr. Tucker hopes even-
tually to increase the present count
to the one of years past
The sky is the limit’ in the scru-
tinization of varieties and hues. All
types have been planted together, and
colors will range from pure white, to
deep purple,’ the agriculture instruc
tor stated, He further explained that
the tulips planted the school

taries would suddenly be taken 1; We would feel the
results of such a catastrophe more than we did the recent steel
strike
It is believed that a good secretary doubles the services of the
man for whom she works. Think of our leading men, as valuable
as they are to this cause, and then think that you could step into
their offices, if you had the training, and day by day double the
value of their services, Isn't that worth thinking about.
Om US?
More consecrated young men and women are needed for this
important work. If you are undecided regarding your life's work,
why not take the secretarial course so you'can help yourself gain a
college education and also help to spread this message to the ends
of this earth, THERESA M. BRICKMAN
I Pay, You Pay, We All Pay
Two hundred dollars, the cost of sheer carelessness! You may
ask, “Who pays $200 for carelessness?” Each person, guilty or not
guilty, shares this expense. Out of our own pocket, we, the C ollege-
dale students, pay the $200
Are you one who helps to make these “messes” on our
campus, or is it your neighbor who drops nut shells, fruit rinds,
waste paper, or other trash on the lawns, beside the buildings or on
the sidewalk? Our carefulness or carelessness is portrayed not by
what we profess but by our practice. We who are careless are caus-
ing ourselves, our parents, and our college an unnecessary expense
of $200. No, the outlay of college funds is not needful, but re-
quired to pay boys for their sum total of 540 hours spent in keeping
our campus clean, Ut seems still more uncalled for when you knot
that these boys just walk around here and there with sharp pointed
sticks collecting trash and garbage which some careless, thoughtless
individual has dropped. Just think of the added improvements
which might be made on our campus with that $200.
Spring is the season when our campus is most beautiful, tc
season when students spend most time out of doors. Campus work
ers report that at this time they find the most trash and rubbish on
our lawns.
Aside from the matter of making the campus unattractive and
causing an expense of $200, have you thought of the hazard you
are causing innocent passersby to take when they inadvertently
step on a banana peel which you have dropped on the sidewalk?
When we throw refuse on our campus, who pays for cleaning
it up? We do. When someone else throws wastes on our lawn, who
pays for cleaning that up? We do. How much of this $200 could
we save? Let's cooperate in a fine school spirit in saving every
penny of it. J.-M.

New Curriculum
Offered in Dept.
New subjects in a wider field of
business will be offered next year by
the commercial department, states Mr
S. W. Dake, head of the department
There will be more subjects in. the
fields of economics, business manage
ment, and accounting :
Economic geography, applied econo
mics, and advanced economic theory
are new subjects being offered in
the economic phase of the department
Intermediate accounting and
auditing will be taught in the line of
accounting. Advertising, m.
id ban y, statist business
management, business finance, and
inar, will be offered in the field of
business management
and co:
rketing,
money
It has taken careful planning and
study to offer these subjects since the
usiness department has little base to
build upon, Many students in this de-
partment will be studying these sub:
jects, thus making a substantial foun:
dation

Spring Clean-up Time...
Winter is definitely on the wane in Collegedale. Haven't you
noticed that you can make the hurried trip from the dining room
to the Ad building just before morning worsbip bell rings without
shivering?
And the plum trees along College Drive are in bloom, and th
tulips and daffodils are making their presence known, and the green
is beginning to show.
Aside from these evidences the calendar has officially pro
claimed the fact that it is spring, which makes it legal, we suppose
Further evidences can ‘be seen by the spring-cleaning going on
in the dormitories, A tour of inspection would find furniture lining
the halls, dust mops, pails, floor wax and window cleaner in plain
view, Yes, the dormitories are pulting on their spring ap, 1.
Now that mid-semester tests are over, it seems to us that the
proper procedure is to wage a clean-up campaign in classwork,
There are term papers sill ta be finished, make-up tests to be taken,
notebooks to be brought up-to-date, absences to be excused, et
cetera
Everything is changing [rom winter to spring, Why not carry
the change over into school work also? Start this new period with

Accent On Table Etiquette
A recent article which appeared in the “Campus Chronicle" has
caused comment at Southern Missionary College. For the benefit of
those who have not had the opportunity to read it, we condense it
for consideration
Eating has long been considered of the greatest importance,
aud many different customs have been developed in different times
und places. Accordingly, Adventist schools have acquired their
own procedures applicable to their own needs
To emphasize the contrast between the wrong and the prefer-
red methods, a group of twelve students of Pacific Union College
at first acted as they ought not. It was shown that it was not desir-
able for groups to save seats at table, for men to remain seated
when a girl came late, for men to permit a girl to go herself to bring
some forgotten article from the deck, for a man to keep his seat
when a girl came to speak to him, or to sing “Happy Birthday” in
the dinin
@ room
After this, the same group repeated the performance the
second lime showing how things should be done. It appeared de-
sirable for the first man coming to a table to be host at one end,
while the first girl should be hostess at the other. The other two
men and girls should sit alternately around the table. The group
should sit when the table is complete, or at a signal from the din-
ing room hostess, each man assisting the girl on his right, All bow
their heads for grace when the hostess sees that everyone is ready
It was shown that if a girl requires something, it should be
fetched by one of the men at the table. All men should rise when
4 girl comes late; an individual, when a girl comes to speak to
him,
Below will be found a brief list of the more important points
Every fieion attending school in Collegedale is well aware of these
rules, but maybe our memories need refreshing,
1. The first man coming to the table is host; first girl, hostess,
. Trays are rested on back of chair.
» Man helps girl by holding her tray, but does not take any-
thing off it.
Men and girls alternate around the table,
. All sit at signal from the hostess
. Desserts are eaten together at dinner; but at supper they
may be eaten at any time.

Schoolma’ams Feted

DororHy HANNUM
Those tempting pouring
forth from the home economics labora
tory on April 1, warranted investiga
tion. Why do people have to cook such
good-smelling food in the middle of
the afternoon?
When Mr. D. C. Ludington
emerged from the kitchen, looking
very chef-like in a huge white apron
and with an unusually bright twinkle
in his eye, we found out. The faculty
ladies were in for a t, at least the
faculty gentlemen were hoping it'd
be a treat
Last year the treat was Italian speg
hetti; this year it was an Indian di
ner, called Burrah Kahma by the In
dians. Curry, rice and dahl were the
principle constituents of the meal
Which was served by the faculty men
in the library. The committee in
charge, which consisted of Dean Dan
el Walther, Mr. L. G. Sevrens, and
Mr. D.C. Ludington, appointed Elder
J. S. James and Mr. Ludington chief
cooks. They spent a long afternoon
cutting food into small cubes, If the
faculty women enjoyed the dinner as
much as the students enjoyed the
aroma, the men’s work was well worth

true of an educated person, The truth
of this was recently demonstrated at
the College print shop.
It was necessary every morning
for some one to turn on the electricity

metal in the monotype casting mac-

half past five to perform this small
task, the boys in the shop applied their

thirty. One end of a string is attached
to the key that winds the alarm; the
other end is tied to the trigger of a
common rat trap, located just above
the clock. When the alarm gocs off,
the string is wound around the key
and when the slack is all taken up, the
pull on the string sets the trap off. The
spring of the trap strikes one end of
a wooden bar that is pivoted to act as
a lever. The other end of the bar
strikes a smart blow on the back of

That isn't unusual to you of the present age, but there was a

craft because he was able to produce two pages of printing that

quile the same. Oddly the pages came from the very book that

Just for a moment, look at our college with your mind's eye
and picture it with no books except a feu hand-lettered copies
Perhaps there might be a plural number of Bibles here, but probably
only one. Imagine the library with its few hand-lettered books.
Isn't it rather hard to picture a school of this size operating under
identical
such conditions?
You'll just have to pardon the pride that we, tied with the art
of printing, feel in having a small part in turning manuscript into
printed matter and sending it out to be read, yes, read by thousands
Now to leave history, imagination, and sentimentality, as refer-
red to in the first three paragraphs, respectively, we turn to some-
thing more concrete. This great "gospel to all the world" is going

The unprecedented needs of the many unentered and unworked

The inherent tendency of every true Christian experience urges one

who ae without God and without hope in the world, The serious-

loyal soldier of the cross. This command of our Divine Captain
actually leaves nothing to our choice; neither does it make any pro-

categorical, imperative GO!
To attempt to abridge this task is to deny our Lord. To fail
to respond in this crisis places one in the ranks of the enemy, There-

Speaker Deprecates
Modern Revivals
Any genuine reform among God
people has, and always will have, a
simultaneous counterpart in a counter-
feit movement,” stated Dr. J. C
Haussler, head of the theology de-
partment at La Sierra College at M. V.
meeting Saturday evening, June 1, in
Lynn Wood Hall
A revival will come into the church
before the end of time, Dr. Haussler
declared, and a counterfeit movement
is already sweeping the United States.
The speaker referred specifically to
Dr. Albert Day, leader of an inter-
denominational appealing
particularly to young people. Dr. Day
began his work in’ Pasidena and has
since traveled to a number of the large
cities in this country. In Des Moines
alone, according to Dr. Haussler, over
100 young people dedicated
selves to the and have
out as missionaries
The true Christian, Dr. Haussler
admonished, must use good judgment
in differentiating between any coun-
terfeit movement, no matter how
sincere and honest, and the genuine

Those 17 Steep Steps
Grandmother Goodrich is 93. Grandmother Goodrich has been
a member of the Collegedale church for six years. And every
Sabbath, come rain or shine, you'll find Grandmother Goodrich
sitting three rows from the front on the boys’ side
Last week after church the usual crowd of church members
stood about on the front steps making new acquaintances, renewing
old ones, lingering just a moment to chat.
Grandmother Goodrich walked out the front door, spoke
to a number of her friends—everyone in Collegedale is a friend
o{ Grandmother Goodrich—and then she walked over to a tall
white pillar at the head of the steep stone steps, She drew back
and walked over to the other side, And then she spoke to one
of her friends, "It would be such a comfort to feel secure when
climbing up or down these steps, Every Sabbath I count then—
seventeen steps going up, seventeen steps coming down. If there
were only some sort of railing 1 could come to church by myself.’
Then I thought to mysel{—those steps up to Lynn Wood Hall
are steep for the older members of our church. If it bad not been
Jor the sacrifices and hard labor of our pioneer workers, such as
Grandmother Goodrich, there would be no such place as Southern
Missionary College.
We can do no less for the lovely older people of our college
and community than to make their surroundings as safe as possible.
Two, or even three, steel railings would be of infinite help and
would not detract from the beauty of our church building.
And then perhaps Grandmother Goodrich could come all by
herself up and down the seventeen safe steps.

One of Collegedale's newest and
mast thriving businesses is the little
shoe repair shop in the Collegedale
Garage, On June 26 the shop was
exactly one month old.
The proprietor, Mr, B. J. Hagen,
called Barney by most of the people
who know him, is from Orlando,
Florida, but has been in Collcgedale
since 1942, Barney was in school at
Forest Lake Academy and working
for Mr. Pierson on the farm there
When Mr. Pierson moyed to College
dale to take over the farm manage
ment, Barney came with him. While
working on the farm he brcke his back
and had to find lighter work
It was during this period that he
took a course in shoe repairing at the
Coulter Shoe Shop in Chattanooga,
and then set up his own shop in
Collegedale. He could have set up
shop in Chattanooga and made much
more money, but he loves Collegedale
and is interested in the school. Barney
wants to see S. M. C. become a
thriving institution comparable to the
best colleges in the land
The shop boasts all modern equip
ment; any and all types of repair

Materials, Best Service.” And the
fellows in the dorm say that he lives
up to his motto completely
Barney says that business is good
