P»jf« Five
Florida's Gift
To AC College
By GEORGIA TUCK I
Coming from the sunny Florida ;
^tUand to the Coastal Plain of i
»;orth Carolina, Mr. George Swain, I
iew teacher in the ACC Commer-
eiai Department, finds the climate
ol the two sections very similar, i
^ the people at Atlnatic Chris- i
tun very cooperative.
Mr. Swain was In the navy dur
ing World War II, and afterwards
tried the retail business before :
starting his teaching career. He i
beRan college education at Flo
rida Southern College, Lakeland,
riorida, received his B. S. from ;
Tennessee Polytechnic and did fur
ther study at George Peabody Col-
lege-
Building programs are nothing i
to Mr. Swain who had to teach j
right in the midst of one at Chapo- i
la Junior College where he taught!
before coming to ACC. While the
[irogram was in progress, tempor
ary buildings had to be used for
dassrooms.
Although he admits that he is
aot a master on the subject, Mr.
S»ain finds a great deal of en
joyment in working with wood
works. He is doing some studying
jnd experimenting in this field.
Mrs. Swain is a native of Ten
nessee, and taught Home Econom
ics at Chapola College. She and Mr.
Swain have two sons. And by the
way, those two little Swains aren’t
twins. Mr. Swain tells us that they
insist upon dressing alike and many
of the students have mistaken them
for twins.
Mr. Swain enjoys his work at
Atlantic Christian, and is very en
thused over the re-shaping of the
Commercial Department into a
tour-year field of study. He be
lieves that students will profit in
many ways if they choose the field
of commercial subjects. Mr. Swain
expects the commercial depart
ment here to develp into one of the
jtrongest departments of its kind
br any school this size. We hope
Mr. Swain is right, and we wel
come him and his family to the
lamily at Atlantic Christian Col
lege.

All About Paul
By JUDY MULDROW
In the library where one tfct« knowiedtfo, I mean
noise, 1 inten’iowed Paul Crouch one afternoon. This spo-
Icific day was n beautiful one, the kind that in.npires peopla
!to write and birds to «in((. While in the library I noticed
that some people were studyinK. othcru were duydreaniinj;.
and still others were makintr eyi.. at each other. Amid all
'this excitement we bejf«n our oonversation. l*uul related
; with niui'h franknojw and .nineerity his e^periences with
and attitudes towards radio work, dramatics, and singinK'
The conversation first centered upon radio work. Up
I until this year I’aul had not done any radio announcinK.
! However, he had participated in several proKrams durinK
his freshman and sophomore years. To him radio work
has been, and still is. both fnscinatinK and intriKuinK, be
cause it requires split-.necond timinK, voice control, and
i^ood reading ability. He says, "This type of work is not
always the bed of roses that it appears to be when it comen
jout of the loud speaker.” To contribute t« the .tuccesa of
the program the announcer, like all the others, must work
secminRly endless hours to learn proper breathing and per
fect diction. He believes, though, that all the work, woirjr,
and exi>enditure of energy is well worth it if we can bring
I iiart of our school life into the homes of the people ot
■ Wil.son and the surrounding territories.
Another gradually developing hobby which I’aul likes
immensely is acting. Having had no opportunities in high
school, other than the Senior IMay, to display his dramatic
inclinations, he became interested in Stage and Script after
entering Atlantic Christian ('ollege in his freshman year.
Since then he has worked diligently and energetically on
every play that has beeti presented on the campus. For
i his efforts and outstanding work, he received a letter and
key from thi.i organization. Though the letter is a high
' award the key is the highest one that can be obtained
I through Stage and Script. The same thing that is true of
j radio work is true about dramatics. Much work must be
'done in order to accomplish anything worthwhile. I’aul
I says, "In play production we have had our flops, as well
as our succe.'ises.” Nevertheless, he has enjoyed every

'I don't really collect old lip.stick tubes as a hobby. I
just hate to throw them away." the Queen said.
She had ju.st been elected "(Jueen” of the year book,
and before that was a conte.stant for Homecoming Queen

personality. One might even .'•ay she is vivaciou.s.

and admiration for it. To him the enjoyment of music I*
one of the greatest pleasures that man can experience. It
has always thrilled him in some small way to bring to an
