Just before last Christmas the
Minist*;rial Club worked out a
plan with the co-operation of the
students of the College by which a
closer College-Church relationship
was established.
The committee reports its ac
tivities to have been highly sue*
cessful. Many favorable contacts
were made in the various churches
—most of which seldom hear any
College representatives.
At each trip, two College stu
dents gave talks representative of
the life, problems, and needs of
Atlantic Christian College. These
speakers were accompanied by a
quartet or soloist.
Sarah Bain Ward and Ray SiU
verthome made the first trip to
Wendell. Both of them spoke in
behalf of the College.
Irma Lee Spencer and Eugene
Ogrodowski represented the Col
lege at Prof. Jarman’s church near
Nashville. They were accom
panied by a male quartet—Grif
fith Hamlin, Robert Jarman, El
mer Mottern'and Eugene Ogro
dowski with Elizabeth Russell as
the piano accompanist.
At Bridgeton, Sarah Bain Ward
and Elmer Mottem were the
speakers at Prof. Jarman’s (fhurch.
The male quartet, Hamlin, Mot-
tern, Ogrodowski and Sam Bass
accompanied by Annie Mary Saun-
dei*s furnished the music.
At the Sweet Home Church near
Bear Grass, Griffith Hamlin pre
sided over the College program.
Miss Ward and Mr. Mottem were
the College speakers. The music
was furnished by the male quartet
—Hamlin, Bass, Mottem and Mel
vin Whitford accompanied by Eliz
abeth Russell.
Griffith Hamlin and Eugene
Ogrodowski accompanied Dr. H. S.
Hilley to his Wilson's Mills
Church. Special music was fur
nished by a mixed quartet—Zora
Waller, Virginia Williams, Hamlin
and Ogrodowski, accompanied by
Bess Heame.
The last Student group went to
La Grange last Sunday. Miss
Ward and Mr. Hamlin were the
speakers. Mias Vivian Griffin
sang three solos, accompanied by
Bessie Gray Heame at the piano.
Much was accomplished through
these student teams. It is hoped
that next year a similar plan will
be carried out further to integrate
the churches with Atlantic Chris
tian College.
A coed at the University of
Chattanooga wore a hat composed
of one white lampshade, one bath
tub plug chain, otie shoe lace, two
paper clips and a skimpy bouquet
of artificial flowers, during all of
one day. The only impression she
created was the envious stare of a
waitress in a restaurant.

Vagabonds To I*ref4enl ‘'The
l^te Christopher IJean"
As the Commencement I’lay, the
Dramatic Club will present THE
UVTE CHRISTOPHER BEAN by
Sidney Howard. This is a comedy
in three acts designed especially
for school and Little Theatre
(rroups.
The play centers around Abby
(Sarah Green), the maid of the
Haggett family, which consists of
Dr. Haggett (John Yavorski),
Mrs. HaiareU. (Virginia Atklnsoi}).
and their daughters Ada (.\fartha
Ilrinson), and Susan iL**ona Sul
tan). Other characters are Tallant,
a forger (Robert Windham). Ro
sen, an art collector (Ray Silver-
thorne). Maxwell Davenport, an
art critic (Dalton Kennedy), and
Warren Cramer, the lover of Su
san, (Robert Johnson).
Christopher Bean, a poor boy,
who painted in his spare time, was
a patient of Dr. Haggett's. Bean
died ten years before the play op
ens, As the action progresses, we
find that critics have realized that
Chris Bean was a fine artist, and
his canvasses are in great demand.
All of his pictures were left at the
Haggett’s when he died. They have
lieen used for various purposes; to
stop leaks in the windbws of the
house, to paUh the roof of the
chicken coop, and Ada has pamt-
od a picture of her own on the
back of one of them. After being
offered thousands of dollars for
these pictures, there ensues a mad
scramble on the part of the Hag-
kM family to find the remammg
canvasses. It then comes to l.ght
I hat Mrs. Haggett had start^ a
bon fire with over a dozen of t^em.
After much rushing around on
I he part of the entire cast, the ac
tion ends to the satisfaction of ev-
erybody, or almost everybody.

accompaniptt by Ml Fontaine and 1
assisted by Miss l.«*bekah Carter, j
violinist.
Miss Griffin has a rich contralto;
voice particularly effective in the
middle and lower range. She
showed especially well her mellow
quality and smooth legato style in
the lovely ‘O Sieep, Why Dost
Thou I>eave .Me?” of Handel. Here
the even production revealed con
trol and artistic restraint.
The final number, Farley’s “The
Night W’ind,” evoked from the au
dience a request for its repetition,
which the singer graciously gave.
Miss Griffin is well known in
Wilson, where she is prominent in
choir and solo work. The students
have followed her work on the
campus as she rendered faithful
and artistic serxi-te to the Glee
Club.
Miss Carter, a favorite among
the younger local artists gave two
groups which were very pleasingly
rendered.
The program follows:
The Spirit’s Song—Haydn; 0
