Dear Editor:
Here is mn vxct^t from * Jet'
ter to a FreshiflV^iama's litUe
man, written by an Anxious moth
er. it is my belial that tome of
our boys could profit by this ad
vice.
"Don’t let girls st«al your time
—It's Ux> important to you. They
won't mean a thmjf toward help
ing you earn a living or making
a reputation for yourself that's
good. But they can be your great
stumbling block, and the devil
would be delighted to see you get
something in the way of your
success.’*
1 am sure there is a lot of
truth in the above paragraph, and
1 am sure our moat honorable
president would and will agree
with this loving mother.
A Kreshman Bible Student.
To the Kditor; \
Did we come to lAtlantic Chria-
tian College to study? Was it
our purpose to come here just to
socialtie? Well, anyway If we
would Just take one day off and
watch the students wanting their
time, we could say that we come
here for nothing, and it seems
to me that is what a good number
of the students of A. C. C. are ac
quiring. ''Nothing." Our IVesident
has warned us time after time
about wasting our time. Why
don't we do something about this?
Is it the fault of the faculty ? Per
sonally, I think it is the students’
fault. To the best of my knowl
edge the average number of hours
that each A. C. C. student studies
per week is no more than ten.
This is about one third the
amount we should study.
I am hoping the day will come
when the students of this school
will wake up and realise that their
future depends upon what they
are doing here in Atlantic Chris
tian College.
A Senior
To the Editor:
1 wonder if everyone has the
same feeling that I do when I pass
Mr. Hamlin *s classroom? It
seems that hs should be standing
at th« door and welcoming the
various students back to A. C. We
miss him becausa he seemed a
part of the school. It was to Mr.
Hamlin that we carried our
troubles and found such comfort
ing solace. He seemed to know
Just what to say and do in awk
ward situations. If you erer had
any extra chewing gum and candy
last year, you knew who would
enjoy it most.
Although we mbs Mr. Hamlin
terribly, that do«a not mean we
are not glad to have Dr. Lowe.
We welcome him moet cordially,
and are glad that he has come toj
oor college to teach.

Muu graUuateti from Cninquapin

lie «aii Cflief ilarshal, i resident
of the local 4-U Club, Healtb
King of County in and Pres-
lUenl of tbe County Federation of
4-11 Clubs.
Keilom entered A. C. in 1936
anU aa a Ireaiiraan lias was a
member of Ibe Dramatic Club, the
jiens Cnorus and the Y. M. C.
.\. He has been an active member
of tbe 1. M. C. A. each year. In
bis sophomore year he was initi
aled into the I'hi Delta Gamma
f raternity and was elected as the
aophoiiiore representative for the
ilen’s Dormitory Council. In 19-
38-39 SB a Junior he was Secre
tary of the Phi UelU Gamma and
Vice-President of the Men’s
Dormitory Council.
And now as a senior he is still
an outstanding member of the Y.
il. C. A., u member of i,he Ques-
ters’ Club, and vice-president of
tbe I'utuie Teachers of America.
As a tribute for his grand work
with his tellow-students, younger
and older, he was elected at the
close of last year to lead tbe boys
as President of the Men’s Dormi
tory Council.
To the Kditor:
As a member of the student
body of Atlantic Christian (Col
lege, 1 think the upperclassmen
of the college especially the Soph
omores and Juniors, should stop
and think of the example they are
setting for the freshmen to fol
low.
How many upperclassmen at
tend chapel regularly? I dare say
there are half as many upperclass
men that attend chapel as there
are freahmen. The upperclassmen
seem to prefer ping pong or some
thing else while chapel is going
on. Last chapel meeting while we
were haring a prayer, you could
hear ping pong balls going.
1 ask is this tbe way upper
classmen should teach the fresh
man to do for the next three
years of hia college life? In bis
first year at college a person
learns nearly as much if not
n ore from the upperclassmen as
he dues from his text book. The
fmhman Is forming habits that
will aUy with hl.n throughout his
collrg> career. Habits once form
ed are hard to break.
I'ppertlassmen, I think it i. our
duty to set an example for the
freshmen that will be a good one
and cause the freshmen to form
good habits at the beginning. Let
us go to chapel, wear a coat to
dinner, and refrain from smoking
in the girls’ dormitory. We owe
it to the freshmen and they will
appreciat. our doing it

People are outstanding on the
A. C. Campus for many different
reasons—some because of their
physical appearance, some for
their clothes, some for outstani.
ing leadership, some for athletic
prowess and many other reasom.
As yet we haven’t decided jujt
which of her many achievemenu
or characteristics is responsible
for Mildred Blizzard's success
during her three previous ye«n
at A. C.
Maybe it is her natural
friendliness with everybody—
her uncanny ability to mtk,
everyone feel like an old friend-
combined with such features si
scholastic achievement that makes
everybody credit Mildred as one
of our outstanding personalities.
But Mildred doesn’t rely on her
good-nature for her laurels. She
started receiving those laurels be
fore she graduated from Deep
Run High School in 1936. In High
School she was vice-president of
her class, Beta Club member, and
salutatorian of the class of ’3«.
In 1936-37, her freshman year
at A. C., she became a member of
the Y. W. C. A. and the Alethian
Literary Society. Also in her
sophomore year she was a mem
ber of these organizations.
Last year, while a junior she
was in the verse-speaking choir,
Y. W. member, a member of the
International Relations Club, and
treasurer of the Women’s Dor
mitory Council.
In 1939-40 Mildred has more
offices than ever to fill. This
year she is a member of the
UoMen Knot Honor Society and
again she is actively participating
as a Y. W. member and member
of International Relations Club,
but her biggest Job is the IVsi-
dency of the Women’s Dormitory
Council.
Everyone realized in what caps-
ble hands they were placing this
responsible position when Mildred
was chosen President last year,
for aside from her work in Y. W.
and other such organizations, she
has an inborn quality which in
spires the girls to confide and
trust in her.

He took the lightness of tbe
leaf and the glance of the fawn,
the gaiety of the sun’s rays and
the tears of the mist; the incon
sistency of the wind and the ti
midity of the hare, and the throat
of the swallow. He added the
harshness of the diamond, the
sweet flavor of honey, the crudty
of the tiger, the warmth of fire
and chill of snow. He added the
chatter of the jay and cooing of
the turtle dove. He melted all this
and formed a woman. Then he
made a present of her to man.
