NUMBER TWENTY-THREE
Changes Made
In Awards Days
A change in plans for awards
days at Atlantic Christian College
was announced today by Miss Mic
key Raynor, Chairman of the A-
wards Committee.
Because of a mix-up in schedul
ing of chapel programs the awards
days are being condensed into
two days, Miss Raynor announced.
Miss Raynor said no awards will
be given next week as was previ
ously announced. Under the new
plan dramatics and publications a-
wards wiU be given on Blue-White
Day scheduled for Howard Chapel
on Tuesday, May 12. That same
day all Cooperative Association of
ficers will be installed. Also on
Blue-White day the science awards,
The Wilson Daily Times Publica
tions Award, and keys to this year’s
Cooperative Association officers
will be presented.
Other awards to be presented on
Blue-White day are the Rotary
Scholarship Cup, Who’s Who a-
wards, and the Denny Essay Cup.
On Thursday, May 14, intramur
al athletic awards for both women
and men wiU be presented in addi
tion to the outstanding intercolle
giate athletic award — the Kiwanis
Cup.
The dedication of The Pine Knot
wiU be held on Thursday, May 14,
also, it was announced by Miss
Raynor.
Previously the college has had
three awards days each spring. In
order to condense the program.
Miss Raynor said that assembly on
May 12, wiU begin at 10 a.m. and
that the Chapel Program on Thurs
day, May 14, will start at 10:20
An assembly program for awards
had previously been scheduled for
May 5; however, this is the day
for students to meet with their ad
visors during assembly. It was
thought that since pre-registration

meetings could not be postponed.
Therefore, aU students will meet

Executive Board
Invites Leaders
By RALPH MESSICK
The Executive Board of the Co
operative Association extended an
invitation to next year’s Coopera
tive Association officers to attend
meetings of the Executive Board
of this semester. The invitation was
extended at the Executive Board’s
meeting held Monday. The opinion
was expressed that this experience
would be helpful to the new lead
ers in their attempts to serve the
college next year. The sending of
personal letters was also suggested
as a method of informing them of
their welcome to the meetings.
Requests Aid on Trip
In further business a letter from
Bob Collins was read in which he
requested the Cooperative Associa
tion to underwrite his expenses to
a conference of the United States
National Student Association. In
the letter he mentioned the fact
that complete representation at this
meeting would be of great benefit
to the college. It was pointed out
that the college was already plan
ning to send representatives to oth
er phases of the conference being
held in Illinois and that it might be
possible for them aU to travel in
the same car thereby reducing the
expense. Decision was postponed in
order that more information could
be gathered on the subject.

Mrs. Bethany R. Joyner, Regis
trar of Atlantic Christian College

of the invitations is 12 cents each.
Survey Indicates Lag
In Pre-Registration
By Jim Bishop
Collegiate Editor
A survey of academic depart
ments at the beginning of the week
indicated that pre-registration ac
tivity by students is at a minimum.
Students were cautioned today
that they should make appoint
ments with advisors as quickly as
possible in order to complete pre-
registration.
“We hope students will not wait
until the last few days of the time
allotted for pre-registration,” Dr.
Millard P. Burt, ACC dean, said
today. “We are doing this for the
benefit of students and cooperation
is needed to make the program
successful.” Pre - registration is
scheduled to be completed on May
13.
A check of the departments turn
ed up such terms as “very light so
far,” “we haven’t had many,”
“some have come by for sched
ules,” and “we have appointments
with several tomorrow.”
Students will get a much better
choice of courses if they pre-regis
ter, it was pointed out. They also
are urged to do so before sections
are filled.
The pre-registration is being held
both for the summer session
courses and for those to be offered
next September.
Sections of courses will be clos
ed on a maximum enrollment bas
is, it was explained. Students who
do not pre-register will not be per
mitted to enroll in those courses
that are filled.
Advisors have printed copies of
the fall semester schedule, it was
announced. Students can pick a
copy up at the office of their ad
visors.
Students who pre-register for
courses and then decide not to
attend college, are urged to notify
the Dean’s Office when the de
cision is made.
Class cards for students will be
on file at the Registrar’s Office.
Students wishing to change cours
es may do so anytime before the
term opens for which they are pre-
registered.
At the beginning of the term they
will visit the Registrar’s office and
the Business Office and will receive

Mildred, ‘Honey’ Are Loved
By All ACC Students, Faculty
By ANNE JENKINS
“Come on Don’t be so slow
Hey, Honey, you lazy thing I’m
going to leave you out here. . .
If you haven’t guessed it already,
these are the words heard from
Miss Mildred Ross, the Atlantic
Christian College Bookkeeper, as
she tries to get Honey, her tan-
colored Cocker Sapniel, to foUow
her into the Administration Build
ing.
Admits Her Age
This grey - haired, blue - eyed
woman is one of the few women
who wiU willingly admit her age.
She was born in Beaufort County
on February 26. 1895. (Nov/’ that
you know her birth date, she ex
pects at least a card) As a young
er woman she was quite active.She
worked for four and one half years
as a secretary in a wholesale pro
duce company in Pamlico County.
Her second job was at Harriett
Henderson Cotton MiUs in Hender
son, where she worked for five
months. After this, Miss Ross came
to Wilson to work for Dr. C. C.
Ware, former State Secretary of
the N. C. Christian Churches. She
came to ACC in 1926 after four and
one half years of service there.
Only Two On Staff
Wlien Miss Ross came to ACC,
she and Dr. H. S. HUley, the Presi
dent of the coUege at that time,
were the only two members of the
office staff. Student help was added
in 1927 and 1928. Years later, the
president added one new secretary
and in years to come added still
more. Miss Ross has done every of
fice job at ACC from that of Sec
retary, to registrar, to her present
job as bookkeeper.
Miss Ross has come to be known
better as just plain “Mildred.” She
has kept the ACC school spirit in
its fulness. You see her at the baU-
games and any other athletic event
On campus or away. She doesn’t
let her age stop her She also goes
for those good Western movies.
This younger generation had better
sit up and take notice of a mighty
good example
Likes Her Food
“Mildred” Ukes food! She says,
“I am very fond of food —I’m sure
you find this evident by my figure.
My pride and joy. Honey, likes to
eat too. Her figure also shows this—
just take a look at her.”
It is evident that this woman has
become a beloved feature of cam
pus life. One of the first indications
was the gift of Honey in 1950 from
a group of departing G.I.’s.
Now “Mildred” consiiders AjCCiwork,” says Mildred,
her home. “I feel that this is my This isn’t all to say about such
home. I guess you might say I’m
married to the college and my See MILDllEl) **
WILL LOOK LIKE THIS—The building shown h ere is now under construction at ACC. This is an
architect’s conception of the new men’s dormitory being built on the campus. Architects for the
structure are Small and Boaz of Kaleigh.

stitution of the Cooperative Asso

a requirement which prohibited
seniors who were planning to re-
