The collegc community lotiK
liM felt the need of improving
the doorway which forms the
m»in entrance of the college iti
Kinsey Hall from Whitehead Ave
nue. Last year the Alumni com
mended the project and had gccur-
td some funds toward it.
It has been decided recently to
dedicate this doorway as u perma
nent memorial to the life an 1
chiracter of Miss Frances F. Har
per and Miss Myrtle L. Harper;
»nd through the gifts of members
. the family, alumni, and friends,
is going to be possible soon to
construct this doorway. Plans
have already been completed by
the architect, and construction
will begin as soon as the stone can
be cut.
All the friends and former stu
dents of Atlantic Chri.stian Col-
Ifge who have known and loved
Miss Fannie and Mis.'i Myrtie will
be pleased at this recognition of
their devotion and service and
will look forward with pleasure
to this permanent memorial to
their lives on our campus.
Formal dedication will take
place sometime in the future;
however, the alumni members
•nd friends will be notified in or
der that those who may care to
attend will be able to do so.

Freshmen Invade Campus
On Day of September
Fifth
On the fifth of Sept. the A. C.
C. Campus was beseiged by
many wide-eyed young freshmen
—ISy to be exact. All day the
students arrived — trunks, bags,
parents, promises to write, good
byes. Upperclassmen, who seem
ed to these greenies the gods of
knowledge, were scattered around
gladly giving advice, pointing out
the buildings, offering helpful
suggestions and trying to connect
the new names and the new face.s.
The freshmen, as frosh have a>

came acquainted with their room
mates and the people next door,
went to their first college meal,
Were .«»hown where their various
classes w<^iJd meet ?|nd where
t^^y would receive their mail.
Inuring the next few days the
frcfihmen were at an active pace
to keep up with the vari
ous duties and entertainments.
Psychological tests, math place
ments tests, physical and medical
exams were given. Library tours
>n groups of twenty were conduct

were given. Among the fresh

Histories of Publications Give Many
interesting Facts About A. C. Papers
The Radiant Was First
Journalistic Effort
For College
The Radiant, the first journal
istic accompli.shment of Atlantic
Christian Collegc, was publisheti
about 1905. As far back as we
have a complete record of the Ka-
dient, which is 1940, I^assie Davis
and Mattie I’hillips were editors
witT^^aj'es I'ari.sh as buStffefx
manager. This small booklet was
published quarterb’; in November,
January, March, and May by the
Student Publication Convmittec.
The Radient contained editorials,
short stories, poems, college hap
penings, adds, and various arti
cles on Athletics. The booklet,
thereby, helped the students to
exchange and create new ideas.
We know from our own experi-
eru:es that this new achievemeni
aroused much interest and en-
thu.stasm i.m<ing the students.
About 1923, due to a lack of
funds, the students were forced to
discontinue the publication of
their much-loved Radiant..
The Pine Knot, which is tiu.
annual, was started about 1909
by C. Manley Morton. Mr. Mor
ton is the only missionary who
has ever graduated from our
school. It was under the capable
leadership of Mr. Morton, that the
annual, which he named “The
Pine Knot,” continued to grow
among the students.
But, like the Radiant, due to a
lack of funds, the annual was also
forced to be discontinued for sev
eral year?.
Thus until 1928 and "29, the
school had had no source of news
except by the words of the mouth.
At the first of the year, 1928 and
'29, another sUff was started
with Robort Grady as editor-in-
chief. This time the staff put
forth a combination of the annual
and news-booklet and called it the
Collegiate. It was started because
there was not enough funds to
support the annual and the paper,
therefore, the Collegiate was pub
lished only once a^ year. This
yearbook contained the pictures of
the students as well as the activi-
Collexiate IJexun in 192t
As News-liooklet
And Annual
ties on the campus for the year.
By iy^4 and ’iiS, the fundu were
built up so that again we wen*
allowed to publish the Pine Knot
and the Collegiate. The Pine Kuot
was resumed as the annual whi«*li
we as the students have no«v. 11'v

A. C. C.to Have“ ”
New Post Office
Progress Brings Needed
(’hange to A. C.
Campus
Change is the sign mo.tt often
that accompanies progress. Soon
the old mail boxes located in the
boys and girls dormitorie.s will !>«•
antiquated and replaced by a
modern, much needed, post office.
Many of the old problems of mail
disappearing will be removed.
When the music Department re
ceived its new quarters in the
basement of the Howard Memorial
Chapel, an empty room was left
on the first floor of the girls’
dormitory. AfUT much discussion
as to how to be.st utilize the much
needed space, the decision came
for housing a post office.
Individual boxes have been ob
tained, we understand they were
formerly used in the Old Smith-
field Post Office, and will be rent
ed to the students.for a nominal
charge of twenty-five cents per
student. Students not desiring in
dividual boxes may obtain their
mail .from the general delivery
window at hours which will be
posted in the near future. Also
the packages, which have for
years lined the office and hall of
the boy’s dormitory, will be dis
tributed from the central mailing
point. >
From present indications the
post office will be run by a post
mistress, perhaps secured from

Sadie Hawkins Day
All the leading colleges in our
country are sponsoring a Sadie
Hawkins Day. Not to be outdone,
AUantic Christian College under
the leadership of the recreation
committee is planning to intro
duce the Dog Patch Customs to
those on the campus.
I Of course, there are at present
many homely gals right here on
the campus because of unpopular
ity, timidity,, or various and sun
dry reasons are at present with
out male admirers. But on No
vember 9th, the hour of fate for
the males hasn’t been set yet, a
big day will be turned over to
all the Dai>> Mae’s that are anxi-
^ousiy awaiting to Woo Dog Patch
; style all the Yokom*.
: Clever plans are being worked
' |ome unujuial
events are promised to those who
can take it. So listen, watch, and
wait-the day is November 9th;
the victims are tne Single Kligi-
ble Male*, the victors the hungry,
lonesome hags of Dog Patch.
