MAKING RAPID STRIDES IN DEVELOP­MENT during the past several years, the Harding Academy received full accreditation by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges on March g5, 1955. Education in the Academy is, above all, Christian education with the Bible being studied daily by every student. The 3g-unit curriculum includes home economics, shorthand, general business, typing, English, Latin, speech, art, music, physical education, American government, American history, world history, civ­ics, general science, biology, chemistry, physics, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and Bible. Acad­emy students enjoy using the most modern facili­ties available including well equipped laboratories and the latest visual aids.

Debating required long hours of research.

Library was site of study. research, and relaxation.

Under Mrs. Pickens many developed an interest in literature.

The adage "Practice makes perfect" proves itself true in typing.

The KEY CLUB, our service club at the Academy, is affiliated with the Kiwanis club. This club is only four years old yet it has made many additions to our life in the Academy. For example, this year the math room needed some way to dis­play its work so the Key Club chipped in to give the needed display case to the school. They worked

hard in order to be able to give the athletes a ban­quet. At the football and basketball games, Key club members were always behind the concession stand selling pop corn and candy, and when ever there was an Academy activity they helped to sell tickets. Mr. Mason is the sponsor of this group with Freddy Massey as president, Roy Vanderpool as secretary, and Bobby House as treasurer.

Five seniors chosen for their ability of leadership make up the CITIZENSHIP CLUB. The objective of this club is to aid in the improvement of student­faculty relations and to make the Academy a more enjoyable place in which to live and work. During the year the club was in charge of several chapels where problems were brought up and discussed by the students. Mr. Berryhill, the sponsor, worked with the club in writing a constitution that will go into effect next year.

And Drama Entertained Us • • •

Ed and Sam portray a tense moment in "Seeds of Suspicion."

A typical rehearsal for "Meet Me in St. Louis."

Who has never felt a shiver of excitement when the word "stage" is mentioned? Who has never felt a desire to be on the stage with its maze of lights glaring down on him? Few would answer "yes," and the Harding Academy DRAMATIC CLUB is no exception. Eighty-two students make up the Dramatic Club with Harvey Arnold as sponsor and Jim Hayes as assistant director. Club members assisted in the production of two plays­"Seeds of Suspicion," which was taken to the Speech Festival, and our senior play, "Meet Me in St. Louis." Even though it was hard work at times , all of us participating will remember these experiences as belonging among the happiest mo­m ents of our lives.

Backstage work keep Joe, Fred, and Jim well occupied.

Vespers in Patti Cobb brought the day to a perfect close.

This must have been a sad song!

We also had four cheerleaders that were on the beam. They were out in front at every ball game leading the pep squad in yells. Yelling at ball games was not the only activity the Pep Club

engaged in. These girl s arranged for a homecoming parade - the first at Harding Academy. Also they decorated the field for every home game and helped to raise our school sp irit by placing posters in the hall before each game.

Football Squad Small But Determined

The return of four All-District men from last year's championship squad gave the Wildcats a big lift this year. They opened the autumn season by conced ing a bitterly contested fight to a power­ful Barton squad. The "Cats" were quick to re­taliate with a victory over Marvell followed by a crushing stab given to De Valls Bluff. Although small in stature the "scrappy cats" proved to bp tough on the gridiron as they bucked their larger opponents with fire and zeal. The season came to a close with a four-five record.

The Wildcats po~ted a brilliant 20-5 record, despite sickness and injuries which plagued them throughout the season. They reached the finals of the county tournament but were defeated by Grif­fithville . In this game the Wildcats were weakened

greatly by sickness. In the district tournament the "ca ts" reached the semi-finals before being de­feated by Southside in a real thriller 57-59. Freddy Massey placed on the all-district squad.

Each Sub-Deb member was truly a "Sophisti­ca ted Lady"' escorted by a handsome gent to the banquet in the Terrace Room of the Mayfair Hotel on Feb.-uary 26. Decorations were in pink and black with the centerpiece being of pink carnations and programs and place cards of black imprinted with gold. Earlier in the year these same girls were seen informally attired for the preliminary initia­tion of pledges' at the h om e of Deanna Roten -"guests" were served Hadacol and blue cheese. Later the semi-formal , candlelight initiation cere­mony was h eld at Loreta Huffard's home. A spring outing on May 2 climaxed the year's activities.

The ZKT pledges underwent a strict initiation which climaxed pledge week. After everyone had had a lot of fun - well, pledgemasters anyway -they discussed plans for the year. Those plans in ­cluded "Camp VVyldewood Work Day" which is an annual event for this club. Adding zest to the ZKT year were the new club pins and blue and yellow jackets. The Terrace Room of the Mayfair Hotel became a "Showboat" on March 5 for the banquet. May 9 found the ZKTs at Petit Jean en­joying the food and hiking of an outing.

You can always spot a KAT pledge because at the mention of "Air Haid" they drop to the ground and cover their heads with their hands. There were two initiations for these ten pledges to enjoy this year. The banquet on March 10 was a high spot in the yea r [or the KATs when they had as a theme "Song of the South ." The theme was carried out in music with Stephen Foster's songs and Bro. Ritchie's rendition o[ "Old Man River. " Camp Tahkodah was the site chosen for their out­ing on April 3.

During pledge week the K-9 pledgemastcrs went around with spotless shoes. Also that week there was always a K-9 pledge ready to politely open the door for any who might wish to enter . They held their informal initiation in the football dressing room on November 1. On February 15, the K-9s and their dates turned western for a Cow­boy banquet. The atmosphere wa's made very realistic with saddles and old bones. May 16 was the date of the annual spring outing.
