Mr. Roebuck gave out copies of the alumni edition of the “U>iWgiate” tl#t was published for and distributed on Homecom ing i^ay- timer Mottern, president of the Senior Clasa, spoke briefly about the improvements that he has seen during his four years at At- uintic Christian College.

The Glee Club offered the np^tial. music,, and Mar^raret Garris sang a solo. Dr. Gould Wickey, of Washing ton, 1). C., delivered the address. He is a l*h.D from Harvard, a pastor and a college professor, and now holds the position of general secretary of the National Conference of Church • Related Colleges. Speaking, Dr. Wickey discussed the place of the Church-related college in “such a time as this.” lie said there has been a gubtl.} suggestion through the years that the church-related college will dis appear, but that any college will disappear if it is not supported. What is our product ? Is the product worth the price? Do the ie&sons of the past indicate that there is a position in our world for church-related colleges? What ii education? The church schools have maintained the true mean ing of education by teaching the student instead of the subject, and by having a student-centered not a method-centered program. Some people think an institu tion is not a i^ollege unless it has lartfe and l>eautiful buildings. We have so verified quantity that wc have forgotten quality! In vain »e build a college unless the stu dent also grows. The church-re lated colleges have awakened in- l^rejit in higher education. The ‘hurch has always been interest- in education. 160 of the 182 colleges before the Civil War were church schools. The church estab- liahed the first Junior College m America, not the sUte.

C, Dugpatchers gath ered in front of the gym on Satur day night, Noveml)er U, for the annual observance of Sadie Haw- kin’s Day. The girls of Dogpatch had a predatory gleam in their eyes and the swains of the campus were gathered in bunches bemoaning their fate. At 8 o'clock the race began All over the front campus they ran. Each boy running for his freedom and ail the girls out to get them a man. At the end of the time jiniic, the giris dpigged in their catches and “Nubbin” came down a tree....a free man, tlie only one left in such a condition. David Snipes didn’t have a chance, i'hat Gardner girl was bigger’n he was in the first place. Gene i'omliiison hot-footed it after Claude “Pappy Yokum" floward, and “Dutch” Miller got cotched by one Irma Lee Spencer. Of course Mag hung onto Johnny.. .without any resistance from him. and Rachel was assured of getting Bob before the race started. Theresa didn't have to run very fast to catch Neal and Joe Frank prac tically turned and chased Kloise. After the boys got themselves so they “couldn't wiggle,” both catchers and catchees went back to tite K>in. A very interesting contest was held using the belovvd Po’k Chops of Dogpatch land. The girls formed a circle around an inner circle of boys. A boy was given a package of pork chops and a girl was given a frying pan. At a signal the girls started pas.sing the frying pan and the boys start ed pas-sing the pork chops. At an other signal the pas.sing was stop ped and the girl and boy holding the frying pan and pork chops stood up. The boy put the po'k chops in the pan held by the girl and was forced to do whatever she told him to. St Clair Caddell had to prove his acrobatic ability by standing on his head. Sadie Hawkin’s Day just could not pass without the leaping con test.

John K. Wooten, of Grifton, KFI), is perhaps the most single outstanding student on the entire vumpus and his career is one of the most illustrioua of any stu dent to graduate in recent years On combing through the dusty records of the year 1937-38, we find John a typical freshman falling for upperclass pranks, watching some of the boys loae ir “spanktale hearts'*, making eyes i at some young freshman girls, and { occasionally pulling pronkn on hi* | two roommates... the most single honor in his frenhman year. John received bids from all three fra ternities (few men make such hon or). However, John pJedg^-d J'hi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Crashing into politic« in the fall of his second year at A. C. John was elected President of the Sophomore class. Shortly after the political call, John found him self working diligently on the fJusiness Staff of THK COLLE GIATE. Sp<-aking of offices it's hard to find jobs this Wooten Boy hasn't held down: in his fraterni ty- sergeant-at-arms, vice-presi dent, reporter; sec-treaaurer of the Boy's Dormitory Council; member of the Quester’i Club; active tv the y. M. C. A. The triumphant moment came when the students rallied to give him a vote of con fidence by selecting him over sev eral popular candidate* for Pres ident of the C^perative A*socia- ,ion.
