Honor Society
Reorganizes For
Selma Arncr, Wilson, Is
Chief E.vecative
The Golden Knot Honor Society
of Atlantic Christian College was
formed about two years ago by
uniting Alpha Delta Chi, an hon
orary society for women, and a
group of men with the same high
ideals. The purpose of this Club
is to uphold the ideals of Atlantic
Christian College and to recognize
and encourage character, scholar
ship, leadership, and service. Can
didates for membership must have
completed three college semesters
with an 85 average for men and
an 87.5 for women; they must be
examples of outstanding moral
character; they must possess the
desire and ability for constructive
leadership; and they must be will
ing to serve in upholding the ideals
of this organization.
This honorary society has only
two officers, a president and a
secretary-treasurer. Those serv
ing now are: Selma Amer of Wil
son, president; and James Suber
of Selma, secretary-treasurer.
These officers were elected at the
close of the last school year to
serve this year. The other members
are Mary Matthews, Sara Jane
Rou.se, Mildred Blizzard, Bessie
Gray Hearne, Irma Spencer, and
Elmer .Mottern.
At the close of each school year,
the society elects two new spon-
sors to serve during the following
school year. These are at present
Miss Martha Edmondston and Dr.
Raymond Morgan.
The members are given member,
ship in a rather unique way at the
end of each year. A very striking
and impressive ‘tapping" cere
mony is held. All the old mem
bers, vested in their flowing black ,
robes, occupy the seats of honor |
in front of the audience. A mem-1
ber of the society who has been
designated beforehand as the “tap
per” passes through the audience
and extends an invitation to thoae
who have been chosen to become
new members by tapping them on
the head with “the Golden Knot”
sceptre. The happy victim thm
goes up to receive his charge and
to be presented a Golden Knot
pen, after which he is really a
member of the Golden Knot Honor
Society. Hii pen bears the Gold
en Knot symbol* that stand for
character, scholarship, leadership,
and service.
The Golden Knot Honor Society
meets at 4:30 o’clock on every oth
er Tuesday afternoon. At its last
meeting the club decided to run a
candy store during the mornings
and early afternoons for aevera)
weeks.

Hy the results obtained in the
recent poll on student opinion of
war, condurted by l*he Collegiate,
it is concluded 'iiat the students at
this school arr against any kind
uX couflkt wha.«»o>evcr.
If the natlw A whole would
tiwki; tine »d an the CoU
legians there Would be little
chance of our bt ing drawn into an
other foreiga c> nflict. Public opin
ion and mob psychology practical
ly determine whether or not we
will be drawn into the war, there
fore, if we reasonably control
these great inflences we will be
controlling the possibilities of war.
There were eighty«two girls and
tteventy-neven boys participating
in the poll. A calendar of the
questions and the answers are as
follows:
1. Under present conditions,
should the United States enter the
European war as an active fight
ing agent?
Answer—girls—yes 1, no 81.
boys—yes 8, no 69.
2. If Germany is defeated in
the war, do you think the spread of
the totalitarian form of govern^
ment will be prevented?
Answer—Girls—yes 86, no 46.
Boys—yes 30, no 46.
S. Under present conditions,
should the United States sell mu
nitions on a cash basis to any bel«
ligerent nations who can call for
the items in their own ships?
Answer—Girl»~yes 47, no 34.
Boys—yes 47, no 29.
4. Do you favor increased arm-
anments and extension of armed
forces in the United States at the
present time?
Answer—Girls^yes 60, no 31.
Boys—yes 68, no 19.
5. Would you be willing to
fight if:
A. The United States proper
were attacked?
Answer—Girla—yes 66, no 12.
Boys—yes 67, no 10.
B. Any United States territorial
possessions were attacked?
Answer—Girls—yes 60, no 26.
Boys—yes 66, no 21.
C. Any country in the western
hemisphere were attacked?
Answer—Girls—yes 16, no 62.
I>jys—yes 28, no 49.
D. United States maritime
rights were violated: i.e. if Ameri
can ships were sunk with Ameri
can passengers aboard?
Answer—Girls—yes 39, no 39.
&jys—yes 43, no 34.
E. It Ucame apparent that
France and Kngland were in dan
ger of defeat?
Answer—Girls—yes 30, no 48.
Boys—yes 29, no 48.
By the above it is eauly seen
that the students of this eollege
are against war.
This same poll was conducted on
a nation wide baais, but up to the
p«»ent time the national resulU
have not been tabulated.

Successful Year
Expected by Band
Initiating new members into its
association during the week of
October 4-7 was the ‘‘A’’ Club, one
of the most important athletic
organizations on the campus.
Not knowing exactly when the
“A” Club was founded, it is safe
to say it is one of the oldest and,
in the field of sports, one of the
most important organisations of
the college. It consists of those
boys who have won a letter in one
or more of the intercollegiate
sports, and in this lies the club's
name. Those who wear the white
letter “A" on their sweaters are
eligible to become members.
The purpose of the club is to
create within the members a deep
er appreciation of clean sports
manship and to promote better
friendship among the athletes. It
also strives for better organization
in athletics.
Recently those boys who won
letters at the end of last year
were initiated into the club. Going
around with a huge A made of
cardboard around their necks, the
boys were dressed to represent
their particular field in Sporta.
The basketball players carried
basketballs with them, and the
baseball players carried a bat and
ball. Dressed in bsthrobes and
boxing gloves, were the boys who
received letters in boxing. In this
way the students of the college |
were able to sec in which sport the
boys excelled.
The new members are: Burney
McCotter, Frank Wiley, Jo*
Frank Draper, Marion Lassiter,
Scott Paul, Billy Lee, AH>crt Otit-
law, Kendrick Taylor, and Clayton
Weeks.
The new officers for this year
were elected as follows: A. C.
Holloman, president. Mutt Gsrd-
ner, vice-president, and Neal
Wyndham, aacretar^ and treasur
er.
