the strength of their schedule.
The teams will be divided into
two classes—A and H. Class A

Student To Hear
Noted Baritone
Paul Matthen To
Appear At ACC
February 14th
The concert series at Atlantic
Christian College thus far has
been a very good one. The Guards
men Quartette, which appeared
In November, sang to a capacity
audience and had a very fine re
ception. Their program was well-
done, especially the last few num
bers, which were done in the
"barbershop quartette" style.
Attcndence at the second con
cert by the State Colored Teachers
College Choir was good, and the
tholr gave an Interesting program
of classical music. Including Clair
de Lune, and some spirituals. The
choir Is well-itnown. having ap
peared in New York and on sev
eral radio programs.
On February fourteenth the
concert committee will present
Paul Matthen, a baritone who
trained under Friederich Schorr
of the Metropolitan opera. Mr.
Matthen has appeared as soloist
with the Boston Symphony, and
has also sung with the Phila
delphia Orchestra, The Dessof
Choirs, The Cantata Singers, and
The Motet Singers. He has been
on the radio on the Metropolitan
Opera Auditions, the Music ot
Worship program, and the Strom-
berg-Carlson Hour. It Is expected
that Mr. .Matthen will give an ex
cellent concert.
The final concert of the series
will be sometime In March, and
will be given by a two-plano
team. They will close this year's
concert series, and It is expected
that their program will be very
Interesting. The four concerts this
year will have been given by dif
ferent types of artists in an effort
to vary the programs, and >t is
hoped that the last two concerts
will prove as successful as the
first two.
History Of Publications
On ACC Campus
The first journalistic accomp
lishment of Atlantic Christian
College was riic Itiulliint, which
was not the handbook we now
hare, but rather a small booklet
published quarterly; In Norem-
ber, January, March, and May by
♦ he Student Publication t'ommll-
tee Till- Kailiunt contained editor
ials, short stories, poems, college
happenings, ads, and various ar
ticles on athletics, thereby help
ing the students to exchange and
create new ideas. I'lii' itadiant
began In 1906 and continued till
1923 when publication was stop
ped due too a lack of funds.
The i'inc Kniii, our annual, was
started about 1909 by C. .Manley
Morion, whom students will re
member as our Homecoming
chapel speaker this year. It was
under the capable leadership of
.Mr. .Morton that the annual which
he named The Pin** knot con
tinued lo grow among the stu
dents. Hut, like the Kadlant, due
to a lack of funds, the annual was
also forced lo be discontinued for
several years.
Thus until 1928 and *'29. the
sihool had had no source of news
except by word of mouth. At the
first of the year. 1928, another
staff was started with Uobert
Grady as editor-in-chief. This
time Ihe staff put forth a com
bination of the annual and news-
booklet and called 11 the Collet-
late. It was started because there
was not enough funds to support
the annual and the paper, there
fore The Colli-Kiale was published
only once a year. This yearbook
contained the pictures of the stu
dents as well as the activities on
campus for the year.
Ity 1934 and '35. the funds
were built up so that we were al
lowed to publish both riie Pine
Knot and The Colliiciate. The
Pine Knot was the annual which
we have now. The (‘olli'Kiate was
continued but was now a monthly
newspaper as it is today.
The last pre war <'<illeKl«te and
Pine Knot were published in
1943. As all upper classmen know
