Barium Messenger, 1957
VOL. 35 Holiday Season Ends As The New Year Gets Underway The Christmas season of 1956 was one for the books. Old Santa Claus and his help- out-did themselves this year. Bicycles, tricycles, and skates; sweaters, skirts and blouses; mittens, gloves and scarves; car coats, toppers and cowboy suits; sport shirts, leather jackets and suede jack- ets: overcoats, boots and shoes; bows and arrows and basketballs; bride dolls, baby dolls, and tear dolls; watches, cameras, bracelets, and neck- laces, and many other gifts made up the receipts at Bari- um Springs. There were good things to eat all during the holidays—nuts and fruit and candy, with home-made cakes and Christmas ice cream. There was some extra money to spend and some time off from books and work, and all of it together made a wonder- ful holiday season, Of course, in the heart of it all and back of it all was the true meaning of Christmas as was revealed in the services of the church in the youth Fel- lowship and in the chapel pro- grams of the school. The big family had joined others in the giving and the Christmas gift from the Barium family, given to the big red stocking on family night as the tree was decorated, amounted to $121.40 and was sent to the Crippled Children of the Shriners’ Hospital in Green- ville, S. C. The housemothers and the children have been writing thank-you notes by the barrel. It is difficult to get replies to all who sent gifts, and it would be helpful if persons who have any inquiry about a Christmas package would send a note to the office for clarification. Because of a grand and wonderful Christ- mas, the new year 1957 looms bright with prospects of growth and happiness for the big family. ers February Birthdays Libby Gregory ............ 2-24-48 Ue SOUS cc. jotedes 2-28-45 Joyce Ann Hughes ....2-10-46 Ronald Brown ............ 2- 8-45 Mike Roderick ............ 2-23-47 Mitchell Brumley ........2- 9-49 Peggy Sellers .............. 2- 6-40 Charles McLean .......... 2-13-43 richard Ward .......... 2-13-43 Herold Eyana<...25 2-25-40 Donnie Harrison __.....2-12-41 Lawton Rice ...........-.... 2-18-39 CONG TOV IOY ioscan 2-12-44 Barium Messenger BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., JANUARY 1957 No. 1 The Bee Tree Hello! Christmas was here and is gone! We were all so excited we could hardly wait to get into our playroom on Christ- mas morning. You should have seen it! [t was full of beautiful toys, lovely clothes, delicious things to eat, and more things than we ean name, Every girl’s place was so full that the next fellow had to push over. We left some candy and a note for Santa Claus. He ate the candy and left us a note in return. School is ready to start and that makes us happy too. We are trying our very best at home and at school to do all of the things we ought to do. One of our most interesting Christmas presents was a “Mitten” tree made by the Primary Department of the Second Presbyterian Church in Mooresville. On it there were hanging nice warm pairs of woolen gloves, all colors, for each girl in our cottage. We love our name “The Bee Tree.” Last summer when there was much talk of the old Annie Louise Cottage coming down, all of us asked where we would go until our new cottage had been built. Our su- perintendent said, “Oh, we'll just nave to find you a hollow bee tree somewhere.” So, here we are upstairs in the Baby Cottage, but he calls us “The Bee Tree.” There is lots of honey up here, and we also have the other kind of bees which we have to kill occas- ionally, (Excerpts from the girls’ Christmas letters) Howard Cottage Well, it’s the Bean String- ers again, stuffed with all the good things of Christmas. A lot sure has happened since last Monday which was Christmas Eve. Mr. Stowe came that afternoon with all his nice gifts, and who else but Fred Kirby! Some of the girls got his autograph. That night we went back to the Gym for films. We enjoyed them so much. We went to bed early that night, and bright and early the next morning a group of sleepy-eyed children headed for church. After the service in the church, we went to breakfast. As soon as breakfast was over, the ones who did not have to work ran home as fast as their little legs would carry them to see if Santa had come. The ones who worked finished up as fast as possible and opened their gifts. Later on in the NEWS FROM THE COTTAGES morning we went visiting to see what the others had got- ten. Miss Taylor and Mrs. Pope gave the dining room and dish-hall girls a party. We could invite a boy to go with us. Mr. Henderson was in charge of the recreation. We had a visitor during Christmas week. Diane Mob- ley and her sisters, Nancy and Pat, came to visit and Diane stayed at Howard with us. Nancy and Pat stayed at San- ford Cottage. Wishing all of you a very happy New Year, The Bean Stringers Infirmary Dear Friends: Since the Christmas rush is over, maybe we can all settle down to everyday life once more. There has been so much excitement going on this week that everybody’s head is go- ing around in a spin trying to take part in it all. On top of all we have to do in the after- noons, Miss Hoots up and takes all the junior girls to the movies to see “Written on the Wind.” It was a wonder- ful movie and I know we will all go back to see it the next chance we get. Thanks, Miss Hoots! Well, soon all the loaf- ing will be over and it will be strictly books again. So, until then, The Infirmary Girls Peg and Sue Walker Second Floor Hello Everybody: We are back again with our news. We all had a good time Christmas. Santa Claus was very good to all of us. Every- body had been looking for- ward to Santa Claus coming. All of the boys on the Lottie Walker second floor want to wish everybody a happy new year, Today is Gordon Brown’s birthday. We have two other birthdays in January—Tom- my Bush and Larry Wilkins. Well, I guess this about winds up our news for this month. Ronald Brown and the the Boys of Lottie Walker Second Floor. Lottie Walker Girls Hi, Folks— Weare back again with our news. It has been a long time since you have heard from us.

COLLINS, Minister There is something exciting about moving forward into a new year. While there are many things in the year past which will be remembered and cherished we do not cling to what is now gone. As Christians we have a sense of eager anticipation concerning the future. Each new day we enter with confidence recalling the words of the Psalmist; “This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:- 24) It is our assurance that our lives are in the hands of a lov- ing heavenly Father and in dependence upon Him we have no cause for anxiety. But there is more than a feeling of confidence and security in our hearts as the new year moves in upon us. In the spirit of Christ’s last words to His disciples, “Go ye therefore. . .” we enter 1957 with a sense of divine commission. Under The Steeple we have a keen awareness that God’s blessings are not just to be received, but most assuredly to be shared. It was this sense of outreach that caused our congregation to assume par- tial support of one of our church’s missionaries for the first time. As a community of believers we want to share our faith with others and this is one avenue for witnessing that we will travel this year. So the coming days are ones rich in promise and hope be- cause of a faith believed and a faith shared. And much that we feel about the year ahead is summed up in the poem below, It is our hope that it will bring us all to a better understanding of the opportunities before us under the leadership of God’s Spirit. WHAT IS THIS COMING YEAR? It is a door By which we reach new fields Of service for our God and fellow man: A door by which we can Explore Wide spheres of usefulness Our world to bless; And reap the sheaves of God’s Word of witness yields. It is a task Set by the Master of our souls, A little part of our life’s work below: And so we ask The holy wisdom, which alone controls Our labor, teaching what and where to sow: The year, at its end, May show God’s glory and man’s profit blend. It is a book, With many pages and as yet all white, On which to write The history of thought, and deed, and word In this new group of days. We pray Thee, Lord, As Thou shalt look Upon the book, when written o’er, may all be to Thy praise. —William Olney RECEIPTS FOR NOVEMBER, 1956 S. Presbytery Church Ss.

When peo- ple are asked this question, no doubt they think of a cozy lit- tle house with a happy family. At least, this would be the first inclination. A home is an _ institution and a very important one. The father, mother, the children, and sometimes one or more grandparents, make up the home. We depend on the home to perform many important functions. We usually think first of supplying the neces- sities of life—food, clothing, and shelter. The father is ex- pected to earn the money while the mother takes care of the children and makes the home comfortable. It is important also that we be taught many things in the home, including work, and along with work comes re- sponsibility. At first a child receives a small share of re- sponsibility, but as he grows and matures he can be held re- sponsible for a larger and more important share of work. Then, a home is a place to be loved. A person in a home is important. He feels this be- cause someone cares for him. The love of a father and moth- er for the child in the home sets this child on the road to maturity. Manners, too, are import- ant and the home should be the place for you to be taught how to act decently at your own home dinner table, or in school, or in any situation. Of course, discipline must be maintained in the home. Sometimes this involves pun- ishment. We expect punish- ment when we do wrong. Dis- cipline is essential for the pro- gress o” the individual. We must leurn to take care of our- selves end to consider others. At Birium Springs it is the purpose of our home to do all these things for two hundred children. Two hundred in a family is what you might call, “The Large Economy Size.” Certainly, it is a large family in anybody’s book. As for me, I have been at Barium four short years. No one can say that I have not appreciated it. Of course, there have been rough spots—no home is real- ly peaches and pie all the time. But, at Barium, I soon became accustomed to the routine and I have learned to get along with other boys and gir]s. I like football and Barium offered my first chance at really playing it. Like every- one else, I started off with the midget team. Now I am on the varsity. Being inquisitive and curi- ous kept me from being afraid to come to Barium. In fact, I was eager to see Barium. My brother was ten years old and I was twelve when we walked into the main office that first day to meet Mr. McClure and Miss Carpenter again. A new steam line was being laid, and the campus was marred by ditches and great piles of red dirt because of this. But I wanted to see what kind of children lived here, and I went tv school to find out. For some reason the _ children thought I would be a tall, brawny boy. They somehow thought “McKenzie” sounded like a name of somebody big. Well, when I walked into that schoolroom they had a sur- prise. I could just about walk under the pencil sharpener. After school was over, I gath- ered my bags from the infirm- ary and took them over to Jenny Gilmer Cottage. And so passed my first day. In a football game you have a quarterback who calls the plays. The way he mixes and shuffles the plays has a lot to do with how successful the team is. Someone was now calling the plays for me and really varied them. Since I am from Raleigh and had lived in a city all my life before com- ing to Barium, I knew prac- tically nothing about country life. But that did not keep me from being interested in the dairy. When I was assigned to work there, I had never seen a cow milked or even been in a dairy barn! I could not even pick up a straw bale, though I was soon strong enough to do so. I began as dipbucket car- rier and progressed after a year to a milker. In our spare time we boys played horse shoes at the barn and we would play in the Bale Barn, which was not too good be- cause we sometimes tore up bales of hay. The next play called for me was the orchard. I worked there exactly one day, and be- cause the carpenter shop need- ed another boy I went to work for them for one month. Then T started on what was to be- come my first steady job since the Gairy and one I considered the least interesting. I will ad- mit that housework never ap- pealed to me—sink cleaning was bad enough, but waxing floors and washing windows were the worst. I worked at it for a year, and I know now that it does no one any harm to learn housecleaning. Then, there was a stint of seventeen months of KP!

Although it was somewhat like housework, the name of it was different. It was “Kitchen Boy’ instead of “House Boy.” The work on the Kitchen consisted of scrub- bing porches, steps, and pots and pans, and cleaning pan- tries, cabinets and tables with a little loafing thrown in now and then. It was also my job to put the milk on all the tables just before each meal. “Where there is a kitchen, there is food” is my motto. I gained approximately twenty- five pounds in less than a year. Now, for the past few weeks I have been working in the Print Shop where we put out the Barium Messenger. I have quite a variety of jobs, and here is how I would sum them up: from a dairy farm- er to an orchard worker ; from a carpenter to a house cat (as we call them) ; from a chef to a printer’s devil. I hope that this little per- sonal account will give you an idea of what this Home at Ba- rium is doing for all the boys and girls who live here. Some- one has called it a “substitute” home—for me it has been a good substitute. Now that I am a junior in school I have not much longer to stay here. To live you have to make pro- gress, aud going out into the world is making progress, but leaving Barium will not be easy, because I will be leaving home.

Since the dining-room and dish-hall girls worked after every meal during the _ holi- days, Miss Taylor let about five girls off at a time, with five other girls taking their places. The five girls who were off could stay in bed as long as they wanted to and did not have to go to the din- ing-room. Our housemother let us fix our own breakfast when we wanted to. Several times the toast was burned black. One time it was Shirley Faulk and the other time it was Sue Moore. Linda Utsman, one of our girls, has been so jumpy since Christmas because of a big, lovely bride doll which Santa brought her—or at least we think that is it—we hope it is not her “brain.” Margaret Ramsey and Linda Bridgers both got a cooking set for Christmas and can _ hardly wait to bake a cake. Linda Florence and Marsha Ivey are the only ones from our cot- tages who have been sick in the infirmary so far .. Janet Woodall has been supervising in the dish-hall in Addie Mc- Ewen’s place since Addie is a senior and was away on the Christmas week-end. Peggy Jo Utsman, Patsy Mace, Mary Blalock, and Linda Ivey, some of our smaller girls in the cot- tage, have been playing with their Christmas toys and al] are proud of them. Bernice Kuykendall, our only senior, is on her Christmas week-end, Our housemother got a rec- ord player for Christmas. The Lottie Walker Girls Quad News “Strong legs run that weak legs may walk.” Anyone who has been to the annual Shrine Bowl in Charlotte knows that slogan. The Quad boys do, for we have seen many a Shrin- er’s classic. It was, as always, a lot of fun. In case you don’t know who won, North Caro- lina beat South Carolina. Basketball practice was in progress by that time. We played three games before Christmas. Christmas was right around the corner. We were writing Christmas let- ters before we knew it. Along with Christmas, different things were happening, like the Christmas program given by the Third Grade. Charles Ward, a Quad boy, was asked to sing “The Christmas Song.” He has a very fine voice and that is an under- statement. “Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” Morning came faster than us- ual because at 6:30 on Christ- mas Day we went to church, which was succeeded by a simple breakfast. The bell was tapped to leave the dining- room. Immediately the dining- THE BARIUM MESSENGER room was transformed into a cheerful stream of darting minnows. Finally, came pres- ent-giving-out time. Everyone from the cradle to almost the grave was excited. Every boy here had a merry Christmas for sure. We boys hope you did also Pine needles and _ cones brighter with snow spray; golden, silver and vivid red tin foil; bright red and white and green candles sparkling with glitter; the traditional tree clothed in a garment of angel hair, buttons of every hue and color of Christmas lights to make the silvery tin- sel glisten; and gay images of Santa Claus and his reindeer sprayed on the windows; walls brightened by numerous Christmas cards; and, of course, stockings hanging at the fireplace, made for the Christmas air at Quads. The rest of the campus came to see our cottage and we went to see theirs. There was always some- thing to do during the holi- days. We worked in the morn- ing, but not in the afternoon. Skating or basketball was go- ing on all day at the Gym. We did that for the rest of the year! I’d say that is as good Way as any to end a year. We boys wish you a Happy New Year!

Church Barium Messenger VOL. 36 CONTRACT LET FOR TWO NEW COTTAGES The Buildings and Grounds Committee met at Barium Springs on January 29th to open the bids for the new cot- tages. The Wagoner Construc- tion Company of Salisbury was low bidder and was awarded the contract. The two cottages will be rebuilt in the same places where the old ones stood and will be one story fireproof buildings. Spe- cial effort has been made to make them as home-like as it is possible to do so for the sixteen children who will live there. There will be eight rooms for two children to the room, a housemother’s room, dining-room, kitchen, and liv- ing-room, and back porch and play area. The dining-room, at present, will serve as a study hall and playroom. If there should ever arise a time in the future when each cottage needed to be self-contained, the cottage would be ready for it. The architects of J. N. Pease & Company, of Char- lotte have given study to the location of these two buildings and their type of structure as a kind of beginning for addi- tional buildings if and when they are to be built. The one- story fireproof building is to be the pattern for all future construction. It is planned to have these buildings ready for occupancy in July or August of this year. It is hoped that the children can be ready to take up resi- dence as they return from their vacation a little after the middle of July. TEN HOLSTEINS ADDED TO HERD The boys of the dairy barn are mighty proud of the ten new Holsteins which were ad- ded to the dairy herd during January. Mr. James K. Glenn of Winston-Salem, N. C. has taken a special interest in the quality of Barium’s milking herd. His last gift included three cows, four bred heifers, and three yearlings. This fine addition will enable Mr. Ar- thur Hanks, the dairyman, to move toward his desired goal of increasing the out-put of the milk by improving the quality of his herd. Since the Home is required to serve processed milk and since it is deemed inadvisable to erect a processing plant on the campus, it is necessary to produce and sel] the raw milk and buy back the processed milk from the local dairies. BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., FEBRUARY 1957 THESE ARE HAPPY MOODS AN T Meas Vitite No. 2 D THEY ARE TYPICAL OF LIFE AT BARIUM NEWS FROM THE COTTAGES Lottie Walker 2nd Floor Hello Everyone, Here we are back again with our news. We have all had a good time going to birthday parties this month. We have two birthdays in February, which are Ronald Brown and Michael Roderick. We all were very glad that our girls won the basketball game. The other team was Spencer. The score was 48-49. The last of the game was very thrilling. We won by just one point. The boys played a good game, too. Today our Junior Varsity team played their first game. The girls won, the boys lost. We all hope it snows again. Last time it snowed we all had fun sliding and snowball fighting. Though some of our seats were sore, we still en- joyed sliding on the icy side- walks. Six of our boys made the honor roll. We hope more make it next time. Tonight we saw a film in Church with the title of “As The Twig Is Bent”. It was very good. Several days ago, we had our “check-ups”. Most of our boys were in good condition. Well, this about winds up our news for this month. Ronald Brown and the Boys of Lottie Walker Second Floor. The Bee Tree Hi— Here’s the Bee Tree again— Mama Bee and thirteen lit- tle Bees, and all so very hap- It is a good thing we are not real bees—for if we had been we would probably have missed our check-up last week. The doctor said to our last group of girls, “You just sparkle!” We do, too, we are full of milk and all the other good foods. Five of our girls are in the fifth grade and this grade gave a program on January 25th. Certainly. we felt good when so many people told us that it was a good program. Six little Bees made the Honor Roll — you guess who is glad and who is sad over that situation! Mama Bee got stuck to the sewing machine — or should we say “mending machine’. We little Bees are pretty rough on clothes. Our cottage, along with everyone else on the camp- us, is very proud of our Youth Feliowship. They led our Worship Service in such a beautiful way last Sun- day that we wonder if we can ever grow up to be half as good, We all write this column to- gether and when the Messeng- er comes out we crowd all ov- er to see how it looks in print. Love to all you good people who support and love us. The Bee Tree Howard Cottage Hi There— We're back again. We all feel refreshed after the holi- days, and are doing some real hard studying. The Junior Varsity has played its first game in bas- ketball. Brenda Shepherd, Vivki Brafford, and Elva Medlin made the team and were scared almost to death at the thought of playing in front of everyone. We won! Score—36 to 21. (Continued on Page Two) BARIUM SPRINGS TAKES OVER NORTH PIEDMONT LEAD By JERRY JOSEY Statesville Record & Landmark Sports Editor ASHEBORO. — Forward Charles Ward shot, missed his mark, grabbed the rebound off the floor and shot again with 12 seconds left on the clock. This time he found his tar- get. Barium Springs’ Tornadoes took over sole possession of the North Piedmont Confer- ence top spot in the resulting 56-54 victory on Ward’s field goal. It couldn’t have happen- ed at a better time. Asheboro had one other chance, but threw a bad pass out of bounds and that was it. The victory for Coach Ar- chie Calhoun’s boys was sweet revenge for a 59-384 de- feat—their only North Pied- mont loss of the season—that Asheboro pinned on them in their opening game this sea- son. Since then, the Tornadoes have swept through the con- eal opposition untouch- ed, An Asheboro rally in the fourth—plus the fact that two starters had fouled out and another was on the bench— almost cost the Tornadoes as the Blue Comets put on a fine stretch drive in the fourth. They pressed all the way to cut down Barium’s 47-34 lead at the start of the period. Barium’s defense held Asheboro well in check in the first half, limiting the Comets to only four field goals. But the fine defensive work cost them heavily in fouls. Walter “Dub” Plyler, the fine center of the Tornadoes who is counted upon to supply the of- fensive punch, had four fouls on him in the first two min- utes of the second quarter. Plyler sat out the remainder of the half, coming back to lead Barium in the third per- iod, only to foul out with 30 seconds gone in the fourth stanza, Still the little center with springs in his legs racked up 25 points to lead the Barium victory. It turned out to be somewhat of a duel between Asheboro’s Bennie Voncannon and Plyler. Voncannon, play- ing the entire game, sank 28 points, 10 on foul shots. Plyler grabbed 25, sinking 13 of 17 foul shots in the total. Both were rebounding well, along with Lawton Rice, Ronnie Hudgins and LeNair Burns of Barium and Ronald Henson and Tee Redding of Asheboro. Shotwise, Barium gained the edge with 19 of 46 field goal attempts and 18 of 28 foul shots finding their mark. Asheboro hit 16 of 60 field goal attempts and 22 of 38 foul shots. The first quarter proved decisive for Barium. They hit six of 12 field goal attempts and 11 of 14 foul shots to spring into a 23-13 lead. Ashe- boro managed only two of 12 field goal attempts and nine of 18 foul shots. That later re- sulted in the difference. Asheboro grabbed the lead at the outset and held it for 2:30 of the first period and it was knotted three times. Plyl- er’s two foul shots tied it up at 5-5, Ronnie Hudgins dropped in a rebound, Plyler hit two straight goals and two foul shots for a 13-5 lead with 4:04 left in the quarter, (Continued on Page Three) PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE- Nuggets of News FROM LITTLE JOE'S CHURCH REV. ROBERT R. COLLINS, Mimsster Assembly’s Youth Sunday is always one of the high-lights in the year for me. At this time the retiring members of the Senior High Fellowship Council conduct the morning worship hour in Little Joe’s Church and at the close of this service the new Council members are installed in a candle-light service. The theme for our Senior High Youth this year is ‘‘Christ- ian Brotherhood’, which ties in closely with the Forward With Christ Emphasis for the entire church of “Christian Citizen- ship’. Throughout the entire program on January 27th I was moved as | heard the young people express in their own words the Christian experiences and convictions which are theirs. This marked the third year of observing Assembly’s Youth Sunday since I have been pastor of Little Joe’s Church and I could look back and remember these same young people as they were beginning their Senior High development three years ago. Under the guidance of Christian cottage mothers, parents, church and public school teachers, campus workers, and the leadership of the total program of the church these young people have broadened their concept of Christian respon- sibility and soon will move out into other churches with the faith they have found through the witness of the church. My reason for mentioning all of this is because of your relationship to Little Joe’s Church and the Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home. Our witness here depends greatly upon each of you. | refer not so much to your gifts of money, although these are essential, but particularly to your continued concern and regular prayers for our work with these young people who are given into the keeping of the Synod of North Carolina. Many of these boys and girls would receive little or no Christ- ian guidance were it not for this Home and this Church. From the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home we have exactly 100 resident church members, in addition to an equal number who attend our services but who are not yet old enough to join the church. In comparison we have only sixty-five resident adult members over twenty-one years of age. Yet, into our hands is com- mitted the wonderful privilege and opportunity of leading more than two-hundred young people to mature faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. At Little Joe’s Church we do not shrink back from this tremendous responsibility. But as we offer our thanks to God who has given us the task and who will also supply the strength to carry out His work, we most sincerely urge you to remember each day the family that is yours, Under The Steeple.

For an ice- breaker we played a game. They pinned the name of a movie star or a person in a comic strip on our backs. Mr. A. M. was Dennis The Men- ace. Doesn’t it fit him? Bye for now, The Bean Stringers Rumple Hall Cottage Hi Friends— It has been quite awhile since you have heard from us, but here we are again. We got report cards about a week ago. Even though only five of our girls made the hon- or roll, every one brought up their grades and made pretty good report cards. Today we were honored with the pre- sence of a foreign exchange teacher at school. She is a Persian teacher and we will not ruin her name by trying to spell it. Several of our girls have yrone out for Junior Varsity Basketball. They are very im- patiently waiting for their first game which will be on Wednesday. A few weeks ago some of our Belmont friends came up and visited on the campus. The Pioneers had supper and a meeting with them. On Sun- day night Dr. Workman from Davidson spoke to our Young People. We are all very fond of Dr. Workman and enjoy- ed his talk. Some of the girls were ex- perimenting in the kitchen and found out that fudge will not yet hard if you do not go by directions. Sunday was Assembly’s Youth Sunday and our Young People had the Church Pro- gram and tried to show the ecngregation what we have done in the Senior High Fel- lowship this past year. One of our girls, Edna Evans, was in- stalled on the Council at this service. This is all of the news for now, so good-bye. The Rumple Hall Girls FEBRUARY 1957 MY LIFE AT BARIUM BERNICE KUYKENDALL At the age of seven, I came to Barium from another or- phanage, and unlike most newcomers, I was not afraid. I had become acquainted with large groups, but not one quite so large as the family at Barium. The day I arrived I was taken to the old camp on the Catawba River where all the children my age were enjoy- ing themselves swimming and playing. One girl I noticed, who was then about eight, had lipstick and rouge caked on her face so that I could hardly tell what she looked like. I talked to her for awhile and HONOR ROLL Period Ending Jan. 14, 1957 First Grade: Jerry Flor- ence, Wayne Taylor, Nancy Finley, Linda Roberts.

That night I was taken to the infirmary where I stayed for the first few days, and then I went to the Annie Louise Cottage where I lived for the next two years. I hada housemother who loved her orphan children very much. On the first day I moved to her cottage she brought out the Child’s Catechism and for weeks she drilled me on it un- til I knew every word and could recite it from memory. I was a very proud little girl, two or three Sundays later, when I walked down the aisle of Little Joe’s Church and re- ceived my New Testament and two dollars given by Mr. Belk. Although I already knew my manners well, this house- mother taught me the import- ance of using them. When we would go to church she would always say, “If you get sleepy, just pick one foot off the floor and hold it there.” Or she would say, “If you think you are about to sneeze, put your finger under your nose.” As I grew older I moved on from one cottage to the next, learning something new at each cottage. The cottage which I remember most was Rumple Hall where we learn- ed to wait on tables, scrub floors, and wash dishes. Every now and then I hear someone say that we were the meanest group on the campus at that time, but we were not really mean—-we were just full of mischief and always looking for fun. From there 1 moved to the Baby Cottage wnere I helped to take care of ten little boys. Living at the Baby Cottage was a great experience for me because I had a chance to teach them some of the things which I had learned such as saying “thank you,” “yes, ma’am,” and “no, sir.” They also learned to brush their teeth, make up their beds, tie their shoes, and dress them- selves. The little things which they said and did were what made my two years there en- joyable ones, I now live at the Woman’s Building and my job there is to help clean house and work in the kitchen. In the kitchen I help to prepare the food and see that the floor and dishes are clean. Now that I am a senior and spending my last year at Ba- rium Springs, I often wonder what it would have been like to live in a home with my fam- ily. As I think about it, I come to the conciusion that I am living with my family. Though it may be a larger one than most, it has taught me many things that otherwise I might not have known. There has come also the realization that God has put me here himself, and I will strive to make the best possible use of the knowl- edge and experience which my Barium home has given me. st et ot ed or n oS £ US Sa a e e s S et o T & <i oo * FEBRUARY 1957 BARIUM SPRINGS TAKES OVER NORTH PIEDMONT LEAD (Continued from Page One) From that point on, it was all Barium. The Tornadoes rolled up to a 16-point lead in the third as Plyler hit three foul shots and a goal with three minutes gone for a 45-29 lead, Holding a 13-point lead go- ing into the fourth, Asheboro narrowed it down to a 54-45 margin with two minutes to go. Barium was using Jim Bunnell, Randy Shaw and Donald Frazier, along with re- gulars Rice and Ward, when Asheboro moved fast. Goals by Bunnell and Shaw gave them some much-needed con- fidence to weather the storm as Asheboro pressed the inex- perienced trio continuously. Voncannon hit a jump shot; Caviness sank a push shot for 54-49; Donald Lineberry dropped in two foul shots and Tee Redding hit a goal and was fouled by Barium’s Fraz- ier to cut it down to 54-53. With 30 seconds to go, Red- ding’s foul shot knotted it up at 54-54, Barium moved down court. Ward shot and missed and Tornado supporters knew that was it. But the rebound rolled off the fingertips of Voncan- non and Redding and Ward scooped it up off the floor, jumped and shot a perfect basket for 56-54 with 12 sec- onds to go. That final goal was a fit- ting climax to an all-Presby- terian evening at Asheboro. Barium’s girls captured a 65- 58 win over the Comet sex- tette, gaining revenge for a one-point defeat suffered at Johnston Gymnasium earlier. Again Asheboro fouls against Barium paid off. Both were fairly even in field goal attempts with Barium hitting 25 of 67 and Asheboro sink- ing 24 of 67. But Barium’s 15 of 26 from the foul line against Asheboro’s 10 of 21 figured in the final analysis. Both were knotted, 13-13, at the end of the first period. Asheboro pulled into a 32-26 halftime lead and appeared on their way toward sole posses- sion of sixth place in the con- ference standings. Barium rallied in the third period for a one-point lead and moved out front to stay in the fourth stanza on good defensive work by Nancy Kyles, Addie Mc- Ewen, JudyBolton, and Janet Woodall, who was playing with an injured left knee. Dolores Grayson and Shel- by McEwen matched goals in the opening seconds for a 2-2 knot and Bernice Kuyken- dall’s long push shot erased an Asheboro lead and enabled Barium to knot it at 13-13 at the end of the quarter. Gray- son and McEwen again mat- ched goals to open the sec- ond period, but Asheboro, with iittle Jane McGrary hit- ting from the foul line, moved away in the second. Peggy Sellers could well be determined the difference for Barium. The redheaded point- maker had four fouls on her in the first half and only five points. She threw in 20 points in the final half to team with Shelby McEwen and the long clutch shots of Bernice Kuy- kendall to notch Barium’s third win. Barium took the lead with 1:15 left in the third period on Sellers’ foul shot 43-42 af- ter knotting the tally twice. They never trailed from that point, holding a 13-point lead at one point. Grayson, who was pulled by her coach in the third period, came on to spark the Ashe- boro bid in the final half, but couldn’t match Barium’s points after the Tornadoes had built up the lead.

C., MARCH 1957 Dentists Visit Campus The dentists gathered on the campus for a supper meet- ing and a review of the Dent- al Program which they have had in progress for several years. Members of the execu- tive committee, Dr. Ralph Coffey of Morganton, chair- man, Dr. Sam Steelman of Lincolnton, and Dr. Frank Kirk of Salisbury, review the progress made in the care of the children’s teeth and the work of Dr. William S. Kirk who had been working for two days a week on the campus. The summary showed that whereas 175 permanent teeth were lost in 1951, the year be- fore the program began, only five were lost in 1956 and four of these were for ortho- dontic purposes. Two rooms in the infirmary have been thoroughly equip- ped for up to date operations. Gifts from the Presbyterian dentists within the State and the special gifts from the members of the committee have been responsible for pro- viding this equipment. In ad- dition to the services of Dr. William S. Kirk, Dr. H. V. Davenport is making regular visits to the campus and has the children who especially need orthodontia, under his care. This program begun vol- untarily by the dentists has been carried through success- fully and the results accom- plished have been amazing. The Citizenship Club Of The Seventh Grade This is the Citizenship Club reporter of the Seventh Grade bringing you the news of to- day about the citizens of to- morrow. On January 23, 1957, the Seventh Grade organized a Citizenship Club. On that day we elected the following officers: President, Ellen Neill Vice President, Douglas Finley Secretary and Treasurer, Charles Donaldson Reporter, Hugh Pinkston We also adopted a motto which is “I shall strive to be a better citizen in my home, school, community and na- tion.” The club members de- cided to have our meetings on each Monday morning at nine o’clock. At our second meeting we had talks on “Being a Good Sport,” and “Manners at School.” We have also seen some film strips that should help all of us to be better citi- zens.

C. Representatives from North and South Caro- lina, Georgia, and the neighboring states will come together for the three-day session. ane Reverend E. Leon Smith of the Methodist Children’s Home in Vir- ginia will open the conference with the president's address. The Assistant Executive Director of the Child Welfare League of America, Miss Helen R. Hagan, will lead the Institute on “Values of Group Living for Chil- dren.” Mr. Alton M. Broten, of the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina, will speak to the group on the Housemother's Train- ing Program. One of the highlights of the Conference will be the address on Wednesday evening by Mr. D. Hiden Ramsey. The Secretary-Treasurer of the Conference, Miss Mary Bruce Roberts, urges all those attending to make their reservations in Asheville. TORNADO QUINTET LANDS THIRD PLACE IN TOURNAMENT The boys’ basketball team, coached by A. M. Calhoun, turned in a very fine regular Season performance. A_ nip and tuck battle was waged throughout the eight weeks with Asheboro for top honors in the Conference, The Torna- does went into the final game of the season with Spencer tied with Asheboro for first place. In this contest a defeat not only lost the chance at be- ing co-champions but dropped them to third place by reason of Thomasville’s high percent- age based on fewer games played. All who have seen the team in action commend Coach Cal- BARIUM BOWS IN NORTH houn and his squad for the excellent standing. The team has no particular height and is not fortified with extra strength on the bench. There have been four seniors in the starting line-up and the inex- perience of the other men caused the starting five to carry the heavy load through- out the season. With just a lit- tle more luck on their side, these Tornadoes would have accomplished that which look- ed like impossible in becoming the champions of the North Piedmont Conference. It may be that they can yet surprise some more folks in the tour- nament which gets underway as this paper goes to press. PIEDMONT TOURNEY FINALS By JERRY JOSEY, Record & Landmark Sports Editor CONCORD—Barium Springs’ Tornadoes, who dropped down late in the season in the North Piedmont Conference race, almost picked up the Piedmont Tournament championship here last night. Only a sharp-shooting Kannapolis guard by the name of Eldon Petrea stood in their way. ALUMNI NEWS Miss Phoebe Cochran was crowned Queen of Hearts for Mitchell College at their an- nual ball. Martha Evans was among the sixty-six student nurses who received their caps at the ceremony at the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing in Charlotte on February 22nd. Annie Leigh Frazier has joined the WAVES and is at Bainbridge, Md. David Burney and his fam- ily have moved from Lumber- ton to Asheville. David is Dis- trict Manager for the State Farm Insurance Company. James Harwell spent a few days at Barium recently. He is in the Service and is located in Washington, D. C. Dr. Charles R. Starling has been appointed instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina. Jack Mangum visited the campus recently. He is living in Reno, Nevada. Clara Man- gum and her husband, Lt, W. C. Ausdenmore, and their lit- tle girl are now living at Scotts Air Force Base in I}lin- ois. Louise Bradshaw is a member of the Montreat Col- lege Chorus and they are mak- ing a tour at this time which will take them as far north as Washington, D. C. And he proved quite an obstacle. Barium had fought Kannapolis all the way and rolled into a_nine- point lead fate in the third quarter, looking like the eventual tourna- ment champion. Then Petrea cut ioose. The Kan- napolis ace had only six points un- til he got hot at what proved to be a crucial time for the Tornadoes as Petrea led a 65-57 win. Petrea hit 14 of Kannapolis’ 27 points in their fourth quarter come- back that netted them the victory. Hitting on set shots and jumps from the outside, Petrea had four field goals and six foul shots to break the backbone of the Torna- does’ bid for the title. Kannapolis was favored to win the tournament. Barium played one of their best games of the season before dropping the tussle. Barium could be compared to a boxer last night. Three times the Tornadoes were down by six points or better, but fought back to either tie it up or recapture a lead. It’s a known fact that three strikes and you're out. Barium had the third strike last night and they were definitely out after the third come- back rally. Barium controlled the first per- iod for the first four minutes. Hold- ing a 7-4 lead, Kannapolis took over on two foul shots by Jerry Moss and Billy Cannon and moved into a 14-9 lead on goals by Jerry Poteat, Moss and Buddy Huggins. Kannapolis held an 18-12 lead in the second when Barium fought back. A driving layup by LeNair Burns, a jump shot by Walter Plyler and another Burns’ drive knoted it at 18-18 with 2:35 in the half. Cannon hit a jump shot and Plyler sank two foul shots for 20-20 with 2:11 remaining before Poreat (Continued on Page 3) PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE-N uggets of News FROM LITTLE JOE'S CHURCH REV. ROBERT R. COLLINS, Minister Recently I was talking with a minister who was visiting our church and campus. He asked me this question: “How do you preach to a congregation such as yours which is composed largely of children and young people?” I assured him that this had given me much cause for concern nearly three years ago when I was considering the call to Little Joe’s Church. Since that time I have come to several conclusions which guide me in my preaching. They are, at least in part, my answer to this question. In the first place the needs of children and youth are basic- ally the same as those of older persons. They need to know of a Father in heaven who loves them, and of His Son who said, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” They need the assurance that God is merciful and forgiving and that He watches over them with providential care. Like all people they need to be challenged to grow in the likeness of Jesus Christ, to discover His purpose for their lives and seek to do His will in every re- lationship in life. But beyond these needs, I have found that the response of youth is far greater than I had ever realized. The average lay- man and minister I believe thinks that a child gains little from the Sunday morning message. Yet, my most attentive worship- pers are usually young boys and girls. And weeks after I have spoken about a certain matter from the pulpit these young folks will remind me of it in a discussion at Pioneer or Senior High Fellowship. Unlike many adults, they come to church re- ceptive and ready to take part in the hour of worship. Not only is the response shown in attentiveness, but in questions asked and the desire to do something about a particular project or need that has been mentioned in a sermon. The enthusiasm of youth is a reality in Little Joe’s Church. Having said this, let me close with a final observation. The receptive mind, the attentive spirit, the enthusiastic desire to do something about one’s faith, which are characteristic of our Christian youth have caused me much concern. For I have rea- Jized more than ever before that day by day and week by week we who are Under The Steeple are molding permanently and surely the mind, character and Christian vision of these young people. They know only the Christ we live and preach, how im- perative that we know Him fully and present Him fairly! Our Christian vision is theirs, how urgent that we escape the pre- judices that are so foreign to our Lord’s way of life! The char- acter of each adult in our church stands out as an example to them, so we must strive with His help to be among “the pure in heart.” In brief, the Christian life of the boys and girls who wor- ship in Little Joe’s Church is but a reflection of what we give to them week after week. How necessary it is that we know Him well, whom to know aright is life eternal. How important that each of you undergird our ministry with unceasing prayer. RECEIPTS FOR FEBRUARY, 1957 Church S. S.

First of all, we had Joyce Ann’s birthday par- ty and played a lot of games. Then we had a Valentine par- ty and danced and played rec- ords, Miss Sims’ sister, Ruth, was here for that, and we tried to teach her how to dance. The next night the Pio- neers had a party and we went on a scavenger hunt and ran practically all the way. On Thursday night three of the girls went to hear the North Carolina Symphony in Statesville and they enjoyed it very much. The next night the dining-room girls went to “The Grand Ole Opry” which was real good. Sue is having a birthday on the twenty-fifth and we can hardly wait to give her her spanking. Miss Sims is going to be away this next week-end, and while we will enjoy hav- ing Mrs. Templeton with us, we will be glad when Miss Sims gets back. Weare getting ready for our Glee Club and Voice Recital Program in high schcol. In the Elementary School the sixth and seventh grades are planning a pro- gram and we believe that it is going to be good. Miss Bell caused a lot of ex- citement on Valentine morn- ing because of something sparkling on her finger. Won- der what it could be? Ill bet we can guess. Sunday night there was a little excitement in Barbara’s room—we never heard such screaming, so we all ran to her rescue and there in the middle of her bed sat Barbara with “real big eyes,” all because she saw an innocent little mouse in her locker. With radiator brushes and brooms we tried to kill the “Terrible Dragon,”’ but the result of this trial was “The Mouse could not be found.” The Bean Stringers The Bee Tree Hi! The Bee Tree is still hum- ming—watch out, or the early spring time bees will sting you! What with the mixup of stinging bees and girl Bees, we have a time around here, but it is a happy time. Libby Gregory had a birth- day on Sunday, February 24th, and her clothing people visited her and gave her a sup- per party. Besides all the good things at the party they gave her a cake which she shared with all of us in the cottage. When any girl has a birthday, she sits in the seat of honor while all the other girls give her their happy birthday wishes. You should have been with us at our Valentine party. We stirred the Cool Aid good and hard and pop! went the glass jar, spilling a gallon of Cool Aid all over our playroom floor. Little Bees mopped and washed and got it clean, and they had as good a party as if there had never been an acci- dent, Most of our girls will get to sing the hymn of the month, “O Sing a Song of Bethlehem” with the Girls’ Choir and the regular choir on Sunday, March 3rd. This is a great ex- perience for us and our first and second grade girls look forward to the time when they can sing in the choir, too. We are holding our breath for report cards on Thursday. Every little Bee hopes for the honor roll. Some of us may not make it, but we hope we have made some improvement. Love to all of you. Lottie Walker, 2nd Floor Hello Everyone, Here we are again with our news. We only have one birth- day in March, which is Wilson Bush. February 28 we will get our report cards and I think more of us will make the hon- or roll this time. The seventh grade is going to have a chap- el program before long. I know it is going to be good. Today Darrel Hicks came to our cottage with posters that has The Lord’s Prayer, The Ten Commandments, The 23rd Psalm and other writings on them. Eight of us bought one and hung them on the walls in our rooms. All of us that read the newspaper were very sorry to hear about Mount Airy school building burning February 22. We are sorry for the parents of nine year old Larry Adams who burned to death. Larry was crippled from his birth. The fifth grade teacher, Miss Sadie Brandon, is engaged to Mr. Charles E. Hiatt, of Pilot Mountain, N. C. She will be married in the spring at Ba- rium Springs, N. C. That about winds up our news until next month. See you then. ; Ronald Brown and the boys of Lottie Walker second floor. MARCH 1957 BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home REV. ALBERT B.

Well, we finally got our sixth grade boys working. Stanley and Dempsey are working at the carpenter shop. Tommy and Jerome are at the Infirmary. Mike is the only one who is not working away from the cottage. He hopes he will get a job soon (Miss Ford does too). I think everybody in our cottage is “basketball crazy.” We think that since our var- sity boys have been doing so well we have to practice too, so we can “fill their shoes” when we get big. Well, that is about all the news for now, but you will hear from us next month. Barium Springs, N. C.

These reports are then sum- marized and included in the annual report which is pub- lished in its Year Book. The following is the report by the Director on the Orphanage Section: The Trustees of The Duke Endowment assisted the child- caring institutions in the Car- olinas with their operating ex- penses for the thirty-first con- secutive year in 1955 when 39 child-caring institutions were assisted, 27 in North Carolina and 12 in South Carolina. The name of the Methodist Or- phanage, Raleigh, North Car- olina, was changed to the Methodist Home for Children.

The number of full or- phan children cared for dur- ing the year was 448, 7.5 per cent of the total. Divided by age groups it was found that 3,119, or 52.7 per cent, were over 12 years of age; 2,565, or 43.4 per cent, were between six and 12 years; and 229, or 3.9 per cent, were under six years of age.

Cannon and Petrea sank goals to cut it down to 43-38 at the end of the third period. Poteat’s goal and foul shot to start the fourth was the beginning of the end for the Tornadoes, cutting the margin down to 43-41. Lawton Rice's long push shot made it 53-50, before Wayne Hub- bard stretched the lead back to five again with 2:30 left. A foul shot by Hudgins and Plyler’s hook shot cut it down to 55-53 with 1:30 remaining.

REGENTS WILL HOLD SPRING MEETING The regular spring meeting of the Board of Regents of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home will be held at Barium Springs on Thursday, May 9th. The meeting will be cal- led to order at ten o’clock by President Fred A. Long of Lenoir, in order to attend to the business of the Home. This spring meeting is now the meeting in the middle of the year since the fiscal year has been changed to October 1st-September 30th. The committees of the Board are scheduled to meet at nine o’clock at the call of the chairmen to prepare re- ports or to give special consid- eration to matters that may come to their hands. THE GREATEST NEED Child Care has been the concern of the Church for generations and has now become the great concern of the State, also. Both the Church and the State recognize that the greatest need in the field of Child Caring is for capable leadership. Every agency and institution is seeking addi- tional personnel who can render good service. Conferences, Work-shops and In-service Train- ing Programs, designed to assist leaders in the doing of a better job, are the common practices in every institution. Additional personnel and replacement are hard to find. It is the common inquiry of every superintendent, ““Do you know where I can get a good housemother?”’ Barium needs persons who by nature and training can render effective service. The loyalty and devo- tion of those who have served for long years challenges the newcomer to make a real invest- ment in the work of the Church by serving the boys and girls of the Home. If you are a quali- fied person or know of anyone, you are invited to make inquiry about the work. PLAYERS HONORED AT BANQUET By JERRY JOSEY Record & Landmark Sports Editor BARIUM SPRINGS.—Peg- gie Sellers and Walter “Dub” Plyler, sparkplugs of the girls and boys basketball teams here were named recipients of the “Most Valuable Player” awards here last night. The selections of the two outstanding basketball play- ers to receive the annual awards highlighted a banquet honoring the Presbyterians’ cage squads during the past season. Some 150-175 in attendance heard Coach Archie Calhoun announce the winners, select- ed by a vote of their teammat- es, Guard Nancy Kyles and Guard Lawton Rice were named permanent captains of their respective teams also. Following a T-Bone steak dinner in the school’s dining hall, Rev. Robert Collins, pas- tor of Little Joe’s Presbyter- ian Church, presided over the program. Rev. Mr. Collins said three things were out- standing about the past bas- ketball season to him and list- ed them in order: good enter- tainment, good sportsmanship and a spirit of teamwork. “We were very successful this year because we played together as a team,” he said in comment- ing on the seasonal activities. Coach Archie Calhoun, who handled tae basketball teams at Barium, made the presenta- tion of letters and awards. Calhoun, commenting on the season, quoted two officials who worked a game at Bar- ium. “If the crowds where we went were ali like this,” the officials were quoted as say- ing after a game at Barium, “it would certainly be a plea- sure to be an official in bas- ketbali.” Calhoun, in comments con- cerning a good crop of future athletes contained on the jun- ior teams said for the first time in some years, competi- tion will be available for the varsity squads next season and he predicted a “champion- ship team in around three years” when he announced the girls junior team, which post- ed a 38-5 record. The junior boys team, Cal- houn noted, was predominant- ly eighth-grade students, They also had a 8-5 record. Calhoun said the varsity girls showed a “distinct im- provement over last year. All the girls out for basketball were on the squad. We just had 14 of them.” He recalled the last championship team at Barium in girls basketball had 12 good girls in one class on the team. Calhoun had four senior girls on the squad and added that the “rest of them will be fighting the ninth grade next year.” The varsity boys, Calhoun commented, did “what they (Continued on Page 2) Hi Folks, Here we are back again. Last Thursday was Nancy Finley’s birthday, so we gave her a party. She really was surprised and received lots of nice gifts. April is just around the corner. It is really filled with excitement for us. We will have our basketball banquet on April 2nd. Then we will be having our Voice Recital sometime in April. Also, we have four April birthdays coming up: these will be for Mary Della Hyde, Brenda Shepherd, Beverly Hyde, and Jeanette Grier. Of course, the most important date of all in April this year is Faster Day. See you next month. “The Bean Stringers” Lees Cottage Hi There— Here are the Lees boys to bring you up to date with the news. We were sorry to lose Phil Perdew and his little bro- ther, Danny. Three of the boys at Lees have joined the Communi- cants’ Class. All the big boys are working at the dairy now. This month three of our boys have birthdays; they are Bill Rannells, and Donald and David Blalock (our twins). We are warming up in soft- ball and hope to play Miss Ford’s Cottage. We are glad to report that a goodly num- ber of the boys in our cottage made the Honor Roll again. This year has gone by fast and it will not be long before Wwe go on vacation. See vou next month. The Boys at Lees Two New Buildings Now In Progress The two new cottages being erected on the campus are now beginning to take shape. The heavy rain of the winter and spring months have de- layed the contractor, but he hopes to complete these build- ings according to schedule. The brick walls will be of Col- onial Pastel brick of the same kind used in the other two new cottages. All of the Barium family eagerly watches the brick laid, the steel put in place, and the concrete poured, anticipating the completion of the build- ings and their occupancy this fall. These new one-story, fireproof buildings will be the pattern for the campus when any building is replaced, thus conforming to the present-day concept of home-like living quarters for the boys and girls who reside at Barium. PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER UNDER THE STEEPLE- Nuggets of News FROM LITTLE JOE'S CHURCH REV. ROBERT R. COLLINS, Minister As Christian people we worship on Sunday because this is the day on which Christ was raised from the dead. In a very real sense we are celebrating God’s victory over sin and death each Sabbath day. Easter Sunday then is the day which marks the beginning of our Christian worship on the first day of the week. It carries a special significance because on that first aster God completed in Christ the work of redemption which had been started with the birth of our Lord that first Christ- mas. As this issue of the MESSENGER comes to you we will have just celebrated the joys of another Easter. Under the Steepie we expect to receive fourteen boys and girls into full member- ship of the church on Palm Sunday. As I write this they are taking part in a communicants’ class studying the meaning of church membership and the vows which they take when they make their public profession of faith. Guiding these young people into a deeper understanding of their commitment to Christ as their Lord and Saviour is one of the greatest joys in my ministry here. On Easter Sunday our choirs will present “The Crucifix- ion” by Stainer in a special vesper service. This will be under the direction of Miss Charlotte Calhoun who is organist and choir director for our church. The choir program of Little Joe’s Church is one of its finest features in Christian education and public worship. Approximately ninety-five children participate in one of our four choirs and throughout the year these groups contribute much to the beauty and meaning of our worship services. Even as Spring brings newness of life to the world about us, so it seems that there is an up-surge of activities and in- terest all across our campus and in the church. Soon gradua- tion will be upon us and plans are already being made for Bible School and summer camps. In all of these events we seek to make the awareness of our living Lord more real and to know the power of His resurrection in our lives each day. We know that our lives are made complete because of His love for each of us, and we are thankful. The alleluias of Easter shall re- main in our hearts and be raised up each time we come to- gether Under the Steeple. RECEIPTS FOR MARCH, 1957 Presbytery Church S. S.

Mr. Archie Calhoun is re- ceiving congratulations from his associates on the excellent season which his boys had in basketball. With less than 60 students in High School, he has competed against those larger schools, ranging from 400 to 1100, and went into the finals in the tournament, los- ing to the Boys of Kannapolis. The many years of teaching at Barium Springs for Miss Sadie Brandon come to a close at the end of this school year. The diamond ring on her fing- er and the announcement of her wedding to take place in the early summer is the rea- son for her leaving Barium Springs. Mr. J. F. Stinson, for about thirty years a part of the cam- pus life at Barium Springs, has bought a place two miles up the Old Mountain Road and now is living there. He continues as the farm manag- er, driving back and forth to his work. The newest addition to the Barium family is Mr. Frank Nance who is assisting Mr. Stinson and is responsible for raising all the vegetables the Home needs to eat and to can. Mr. Nance, from Mount Mourne, N. C., is a Presbyter- ian with a wife and two chil- dren. He hopes to move to Barium Springs as soon as liv- ing quarters can be provided. Cupid is having a field day on the campus. Miss Helen Bell is wearing a diamond and announces wedding plans for the Fall. Mr. S. A. Grier, having spent the Winter in Florida, has returned to the campus. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Low- rance, having retired in ’54, are still active in the life of the Church and community. Sickness serious enough to cause hospitalization or to re- quire surgery has taken its toll. Within the last few months Mr. Arthur Hanks, rs. J. H. Lowrance, Mrs. Janie Thaggard, Mrs. Ruth Watson, and Mrs. I. B. White have been patients in the hos- pital. All these are back in their regular places and hope their sickness is over for awhile. Miss Kate Taylor will be leaving Barium Springs on April 25th to sail from New York for her home in Scot- land. She plans to return in the late Summer. Mrs. Bondurant visited the campus recently. She will be remembered as Mrs. Mary Turner Ritchie. Her wedding was last December and she now lives in Virginia. PLAYERS HONORED AT BANQUET (Continued from Page 1) did by sheer effort.’ Bar- ium’s boys never lost to a team twice over the season and beat the conference champions (Asheville) two of these gam- es. “The boys did more with what they had than any team I have ever coached,” Calhoun added. Only two starters were back with the Tornadoes who posted a 12-4 conference and an overall 15-6 record for the best season in boys basketball since 1951. Following the presentation of awards, several members of the varsity teams gave an informa] musical program ac- companied by Miss Charlotte Calhoun at the piano. Charles Ward rendered a solo, “Walk Hand In Hand,” followed by a duet “Get Along Without You Now” by Deanna Kiser and Bernice Kuykendall. A rendi- tion of ‘Cool Water” by Le- Nair Burns, Walter Plyler, Charles Ward, Mac McClure and Lawton Rice concluded the program, Receiving recognition on the basketball squads were: VARSITY GIRLS — Judy Bolton, Barbara Johnson, Deanna Kiser, Bernice Kuy- kendall, Nancy Kyles, Addie McEwen, Shelby McEwen, Peggie Sellers and Janet Woodall.

C., MAY 1957 COMMENCEMENT PROGRAMS ENDS SCHOOL YEAR Sunday, May 19th, and Monday, May 20th, brought to a close the school year on the campus at Barium Springs and also the high school com- mencement exercises for this campus. The Reverend Charles H. Sides, Jr., pastor of the Har- risburg Presbyterian Church, was the guest minister for the baccalaureate sermon in Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church. Dr. Frontis Withers Johnston from Davidson College deliv- ered the address before the graduates on Monday morn- ing at eleven o’clock. As the seniors filed out of the auditorium, the end of one era was noted and the begin- ning of a new one anticipated. The moving of the high school to Troutman to be a part of the larger consolidated school will hereinafter see the com- mencement exercises held in conjunction with that school in Troutman. Thus, the sep- arate graduating exercises for Barium Springs will be a thing of the past. The school principal, R. G. Calhoun, has been witnessing these exer- cises for thirty years, and it will seem very strange in 1958 not to be getting ready for commencement at Barium Springs. While there is always sadness in changing a custom, there is also the pleasure in the more profitable experien- ces to be gained as a part of the larger community in which the Barium students will attend school and grad- uate. Death Claims James P. Gray Iredell Morning News The main auditorium of the First Presbyterian Church was filled Sunday afternoon, April 14th, for the funeral of James P. Gray, friends being present from Statesville and Iredell County, from Barium Springs, Loray and a number of points at greater distances. Mr. Gray’s pastor, Rev. N. R. McGeachy conducted the service and there was music by the church choir. Inter- ment was in Oakwood. Mr. Gray was 68 years old. The son of the late Captain I. A. Gray and Mrs. Mary Ram- sey Gray he was born on Jan- uary 27, 1894. He graduated from Mt. Ulla High School, but prior to that he attended the schools at Barium Springs and in later years he and his wife, who graduated from Barium Springs High School were paid the high honor of being selec*ed as the couple, that in their lives and in the influence they exerted, best exemplified the high stand- ards of Barium’s teachings. They were given a medal and at the same time were reco- gnized as the first boy and girl from Barium campus to be married. Mr, Gray was a newspaper- man for more than 30 years of his life. He was connected (Continued on Page 2) His honor and glory. sa s h e s LET US GIVE THANKS A day of dedication for the new church building is now in sight. The memorial gifts ° have continued to be a part of this lovely edifice and it appears that all indebtedness will be removed by the first of August. The memorials received between now and then will continue to be a part of the church me- morial, Sunday, August 4th, has been set as the day of dedication and Homecoming. Dr. W.

We certainly have had some nice sunny weather lately: even though we did not expect such heat so soon, we are enjoying it. We all enjoyed Easter. The Adult Choir gave a cantata called “The Crucifixion.” We got our report cards last week and had some very good grades. Two of our girls have parakeets and they wake us up bright and early every morning as soon as the sun is up. Our Senior High Fellow- ship has had the privilege of going to two different church rallies. One was a District Rally at Salisbury, and the other was a Senior Rally at Davidson. Some of our girls went to Tarboro and Chapel Hill for a visit. They all en- joyed this very much. The Rumple Hall Girls. Howard Cottage Hi, It’s us, the Beanstringers, again. We have really had a busy week-end. To start it off with a bang, Diane Mobley came to visit us. We enjoyed having her and are looking forward to her coming again at commencement. The Easter Bunny came to see us and left us lots of eggs and candy. We were all so dressed up, and we enjoyed the Easter Service very much. We were very proud of Bren- da, Elva, Vicki, Martha, and Nancy, all of whom sang in the Chancel Choir. The can- tata, the Crucifixion, was lovely. We have had three birth- days this month and there are two more yet to come. Miss Sims’ birthday is on Satur- day of this week. We wonder what is going to happen—we are hearing lots of whispers these days. The Beanstringers.

C. One hundred and fifty persons representing child-caring institutions in the nine southeastern states spent three days in regular session in the mountain city. Miss Helen Hagan, the assistant Executive Director of the Child Welfare League of America conducted the Insti- tute on “Values of Group Liv- ing for Children.” Mr. Alton Broten, of the School of Social Work of the University of North Carolina, addressed the group cn the Housemothers’ Training Program.

Officers for the new year are: Rev. A. B. McClure, President; Miss Mary Bruce Roberts, Superintendent of the Hillside Cottages, Atlanta, Georgia, Vice-President; and Miss Lucille Reea of the Mills Home at Thomasville, N. C Secretary. The Conference voted to meet in Charleston, South Carolina in 1958. Members of the program committee ap- pointed to arrange for the program in the next year are: Mr. M. T. Lambeth, of the Children’s Home in Winston- Salem; Alton Broten of the Child Care Project, Chapel Hill; Everett Spell, Charles- ton, S. C. 7 ALUMNI NEWS David Stanley died April 6th and was buried in High Point on Sunday, April 7th. He left Barium in 1916 after having been here for ten years. Our sympathy is ex- tended to the members of his family and to his friends. Cromer Curtis is at his home in Marion, after serving for three years in the Air Corps. He came by Barium on his way from Washington. George Landrum was a visi- tor on the campus recently. He travels for a clothing company in New York and has North and South Carolina as his ter- ritory. Jerry Young is working in Wilson, N. C. He was at Bar- ium Easter Sunday. (Continued on Page 2) No. 5 Seniors Plan For The Future Ninety-one years of home life at Barium Springs will be brought to a close with the graduating exercises on Mon- day, May 20th. The six boys and three girls of the class have lived in the Home a total of ninety - one years, one month, and twenty - seven days. The shortest time is three years, nine months, and twenty-eight days for Oscar Eugene Utsman, and the long- est time is fourteen years, four months and five days for Ronnie Ray Hudgins. Nancy Kyles who lives in the com- munity has had all twelve of her grades at the Barium school, and Mac McClure join- ed the present group in the fifth grade and has journeyed with them through the senior year. For these eleven boys and girls there lies in the im- mediate future further educa- tion, nurse’s training, beauti- cian school, employment, and Armed Services. The records show that Ful- ton LeNair Burns came to Barium Springs from the Im- manuel Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, N. C. Bernice Kuykendall and Lawton Rice came from the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Char- lotte and Ronnie Hudgins came from the same city but from Williams Memorial Church. Burlington and the Kast Burlington Presbyterian Church is the home of Bar- bara Ann Johnson, while Ad- die McEwen claims Clarkton and the Clarkton Presbyterian Church. Sidney Morrison is from the Loray community, north of Statesville, and the Concord Presbyterian Church. Walter Plyler is from Kannapolis and Indian Trail, associated with the Presbyter- ian Church at Indian Trail. Oscar Utsman comes from Hillsboro through the Pres- byterian Church at Mebane, Ny U; Changing from seniors to alumni is quite a difficult task. It means a change of re- sidence, new friends, new lo- cations, new work, and _ it means progress and growth. While there is eager anticipa- tion to move on, there is also the inward fears of moving out and the pleasant memories of living together. These will now join the thousands of oth- ers who have moved forth from the lovely campus and sheltered life of Barium to the larger world and _ further training, new service, and greater things in the days that lie ahead.

Is Your Mailing Address Correct! DEATH CLAIMS JAMES P. GRAY (Continued from Page |) with The Statesville Daily and The Landmark, joining the papers in 1921 and serving until they were sold in May 1953. He was news editor of the papers and he also, at times, did a bit of writing. He expressed himself in a most readable style and attracted favorable comments, particul- arly with the stories he picked up around the railroad sta- tion, where he loved to go on off moments. He liked sports, could report them in entertaining fashion and, as he had leisure, he found plea- sure in attending local games, especially the ones at Barium. Raised a Presbyterian, he had been an elder in the church for many years and was active in Sunday School work. He was a kindly anda willing neighbor and he was a loyal friend, gifted with a sense of humor that made him an entertaining companion. On August 18, 1915, Mr. Gray married Miss Annie Hartsell and they established a home that has centered a very close, and a very out- standing family life, grand- children, as children of the home, bearing testimony in their lives to its fine influence, Mr. Gray has been retired since May 19538, and for the past two years and more he has been in failing health. He died Saturday morning at his home on the Wilkesboro road. He is survived by his wife and six children: James P. Gray Jr. and Mrs. C. W. Walsh of Statesville; Robin B. Gray of Atlanta, Ga.; John L.

THE BARIUM MESSENGER MAY 1957 Staff Notes Miss Reba Thompson was called to Spartanburg, S. C. on the Easter week-end be- cause of the death of her bro- ther-in-law, Mr. DeWitt Mc- Coy. Mrs. Dot Marshall has tak- en on a new activity. In ad- dition to being dietician, she is also becoming the rose gar- den specialist. The circle in the driveway behind the kitch- en is to become the beauty spot of the campus according to her predictions. Miss Rebekah Carpenter and Miss Pat Buercklin lived through a two-day trip with a bus-load of juniors to Tar- boro. They each report a won- derful time — a good trip all the way there and back—and a most enjoyable visit. Miss Neely Ford whose first love is ‘“my boys” has a second love which is the mountains of Western North Carolina. A week-end in that direction recently gave her great satisfaction and plea- sure in seeing the Waynesville area, Mrs. Arthur Hanks still wonders how children can find all the dirt that gets to- gether on their clothes that come to the laundry. Even with the antiquated machin- ery which she has to work with, she and her staff do a fine job in turning out clean clothes. Mrs. Helen Fox and Miss Louise Campbell are just stitching up a storm in the sewing room trying to get the juniors and seniors outfitted in evening dresses for the gala events. Superintendent A. B. Mc- Clure was elected president of the Southeastern Conference in its spring session, Harry E. Barkley, former Barium teacher, has resigned as superintendent of Mounta n Orphanage, effective June 1957. Future plans for the Barkleys have not been an- nounced. Junior-Senior Staged At Troutman Saturday, May 4, was quite a gala evening for the juniors and seniors of BariumSprings and Troutman Schools. The junior classes of the two schools united in preparing for and inviting the senior classes of the two _ schools; thus, making this delightful event of every high school a joint affair. The school cafe- teria, beautifully decorated, was filled with the four hun- dred persons invited. After the banquet, the tables were removed and the Junior-Seni- or Prom was held. It is particularly interest- ing that the students of the two schools requested this joint get-together; thus, evi- dencing the delight of the stu- dents in the new relationship. ALUMNI (Continued from Page 1) Neil McKee was a visitor on the campus recently. He is a mechanic with the State and services 60 school buses. He and his family live in Reids- ville.

The most coveted of the awards are the two Ace Medals. Miss Neely Ford, housemother at Barium Springs, was chosen to be the recipient of the Alumni Ace Medal. Miss Fcrd graduated from Barium Springs and then toox her college training at Flora Macdonald. After that she at- tended the Assembly’s Train- ing School and prepared her- self for full-time Christian work. Being unable to fulfill her dream of serving in some foreign field, she took up work at home and taught for a number of vears, and then came to Barium Springs as a housemother and has_ been faithful in her service for nearly two decades. She has lived in the cottages with the smaller boys and everybody knows how she will scrap for “my boys” and for the flowers around her house. The student Ace Medal went to Lawton Rice who was elected by the vote of those on the staff and the members of the high schoo} group. Law- ton was salutatorian of his class and has made a fine rec- ord in athletics and plans to enter Lees-McRae College in the fall. Though not quite cer- tain of his future plans, he is considering entering the field of dentistry. Other awards made at this time were monetary awards to those who had shown the most improvement in each will be removed, and the Church will be dedicated in the special services wherein Dr. W. Talliferro Thompson will be the guest speaker. The Memorial Fund will continue thereinafter and the money will be made applicable to the educational and training needs of the boys and girls of the Barium Family who upon leaving Barium need further assistance. The Board recognizes that these boys and girls are the children of the Church and ought, therefore, to have the support of the Church after Barium. While there is an Educational Fund at Barium Springs, the inter- est from this does not begin to meet the needs. The Board felt that the people of North Carolina would want the fund continued and would be glad to make an investment in the boys and girls of the Home. All who have known of this decision have expressed great delight in the choice of the Board. In the light of this decision, the administration of the Home has been able to make specific arrangements for a large number of boys and girls for the coming win- ter in their further training and education. In conjunction with the De- dication Services of the Church, the alumni will hold their Homecoming.

PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER JUNE 1957 UNDER THE STEEPLE- Nuggets of News FROM LITTLE JOE'S CHURCH REV. ROBERT R. COLLINS, Minister Bible School, Camps and Weddings! Summer is here and all of those exciting events that mark the arrival of this good season have their place in the life of Little Joe’s Church. Our Vacation Bible School got underway on May 22nd, shortly after commencement exercises. Ninety-two boys and girls were enrolled in the Kindergarten, Primary and Junior Departments, and our teaching staff of twelve made our en- rollment pass the one hundred mark. Both pupils and teachers felt that this was perhaps our finest Bible School and the boys and girls have shown real enthusiasm for the new materials provided this year through our Board of Christian Education. An outstanding feature of our school was the visit of Mr. C. C. Chang, Elder of a Chinese Presbyterian Church on For- mosa who was in our Presbytery and spoke to our group about the mission work our denomination is doing in his country. His coming served as a fitting climax for our study of being united in Christ with all His people around the world. On June 3rd the summer camp program of Concord Pres- bytery will open at our beautiful Camp Grier near Old Fort, N. C. It is my privilege again this year to direct our first Pioneer Camp that week and a large number of boys and girls from Under The Steeple will be with me. During the month of June a total of thirty-six young people will take part in the camps sponsored by our Presbytery, twenty-four attending Pioneer Camps and twelve attending Senior Camp. We are most grateful that this opportunity of Christian fellowship and growth is available for our Pioneers and Seniors and want to express our sincere thanks to those of you across the Synod whose special gifts make these camps possible for so many of our young people. June is frequently referred to as the month for brides, with wedding bells bringing a joyful melody from many church steeples. The steeple of Little Joe’s will be no exception. The first day of June marks the marriage of Miss Phoebe Carolyn Cochran to Mr. Alvin Delburt Griffin, of Brunswick, Ga. Phoebe graduated from Barium Springs High School in 1955 and Mitchell College in Statesville in May of this year. She will be the first from our Home family to be married in our new church. Miss Sadie Brandon’s marriage to Mr. Charles E. Hiatt of Pilot Mountain, N. C. on June 8th will be the second oc- casion for wedding bells this month. Miss Brandon has been a member of the faculty at Barium Springs school for over twenty years. During this period she has been active in the entire program of Little Joe’s Church and served as president of the Women of the Church at one time. There is sadness mixed with joy as we wish her much happiness in her mar- riage and the making of a new home. She will join her husband who is a teacher as she continues to guide the minds of boys and girls to a better life. The first wedding of a granddaughter of Little Joe’s Church to be held in our new building will take place on June 23rd when Miss Hilda Sain Donaldson is married to Mr. Craig Marshall Horsman of Greensboro, N. C. Hilda is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Donaldson of Barium Springs. Her father is a graduate of our Barium Springs School and now serves as Clerk of Session of Little Joe’s Church. The bride is a graduate of the Woman’s College of the University of N. C. in Greensboro and her fiance received his degree from the University of N. C. in Chapel Hill. Wedding Bells, Camps, and Bible School! All are a part of the Christian life-stream that forever flows from Under The Steeple, adding to the splendor of God’s eternal Kingdom. Staff Notes Miss Shirley Kearns of Asheboro and a graduate in piano of Flora Macdonald Col- lege arrived the first week in June to teach piano during the summer and the coming win- ter. Two summer workers are Mr. and Mrs. William Lof- quist. Mr. Lofquist will be a senior at the Union Theologi- cal Seminary next year. His special interest in Social Ser- vice Work and Child - caring Institutions brings him to the campus for a summer’s living with the boys and girls. He and Mrs. Lofquist are the houseparents in Cannon Cot- tage. The closing of school has caused the loss to the campus during the summer of the school teachers, Mr. R. G. Cal- houn, the principal, being the last to leave, and he will be re- turning in August for the football practice. Letters from Miss Kate Taylor brings the news that she is enjoying her visit back with her folks in the Old Country. She plans to be back on the Barium campus in Au- gust. Mr. J. W. Ervin suffered some injury to his back while working in the laundry and was confined to the hospital for several days. Although they are retired from the Home, Mr. Grier, Mr. Lowrance, and Mr. Thomas continue to be active in the work of the Church and the life of the community.

School is out and we are so happy! Those making the Honor Roll in our cottage are: Elva Medlin, Linda Med- lin, Beverly Hyde, Mary Del- la Hyde, Joyce Hughes, Nancy Finley, Lou Anna Bridgers, and Linda Byrd. We certain- ly hated to see the seniors leave, but we are thinking of the time when we will be sen- iors. Our work has been changed and now we have four girls in the laundry, two in the dish- hall, and three in the dining- room. Those in the laundry are Beverly, Martha, Vicky, and Elva; those in the dish- hall are Brenda and Nancy, and the ones in the dining- room are Sue Bush, Linda Byrd, and Linda Shepherd. Diane Kiser is still in the kit- chen, May 27th was Lou Anna Bridgers’ birthday. We tried to give her a surprise party but she was too smart for us. Anyway, we all had a good time. She got a real nice cam- era and also a piece of nice luggage. The Beanstringers Lottie Walker Hi Friends, Here we are again to bring you our news. Since school is out, we have started getting up at 6:00 o’clock. We all have jobs to do. From our cottage we have Margaret Ramsey, Shirley Faulk, Peggy Bridges, Linda Florence working in the dining room. Supervising in the dish hall we have Janet Woodall. Working in the laun- dry are Linda Utsman, Vir- ginia Lane, Shelby McEwen is the only one in our cottage working in the kitchen and Sue Moore is working in the sewing room.

Everyone is looking for- ward to vacation, June 28th. This year we have a num- ber of pioneers going to Camp Grier and one senior. The Lottie Walker Girls The Bee Tree Hi! The Bee Tree Hums again. We had such fun a few weeks ago when Dr. Keith- Lucas visited us and told us a most charming story about “The Old Woman Who swal- lowed the Fly.” From his stay we got ideas and made a story of our own which goes like this: “There was an old lady who swallowed Shirley, It made her hair curly when she swallowed Shirley. There was an old lady who swallowed Marie Yes Sir-ee: she swallowed Marie. There was an old lady who swallowed Paulette She wanted to pet when she swallowed Paulette. There was an old lady who swallowed Sylvia Ann, She fell in the pan when she swallowed Sylvia Ann. There was an old lady who swallowed Elsie Rannells, We knocked over the panels, when she swallowed Elsie Rannells. There was an old lady who swallowed Linda It turned her black as a cinder when she swallowed Linda. There was an old lady who swallowed Libby, It pushed out her ribby when she swallowed Libby. There was an old lady who swallowed Lois Allen She needed a paddling when she swallowed Lois Allen. There was an old lady who swallowed Rita, She looked green like a cedar, when she swallowed Rita. There was an old lady who swallowed Eloise, Now that was a squeeze when she swallowed Eloise. There was an old lady who swallowed Judith, We thought that a myth, that she swallowed Judith. There was an old lady who swallowed Sherry. She was round as a cherry when she swallowed Sherry. There was an old lady who swallowed Mary, Now that was contrary to have swallowed Mary.

C., JULY-AUGUST 1957 MEMORIAL FUND The Memorial Fund at Barium Springs will continue. Now that the church is paid for and will be dedicated, the funds will be made applicable to the education of the boys and girls who finish at Barium Springs. These young people who remain at the Home through their senior year in high school are indeed the children of the Home, their needs will have to be met from the Educational Fund. In times past there have been small amounts for this, but never enough to meet the needs. The Board of Regents unanimously adopt- ed this plan and recommends it to all who would continue to remember their loved ones in this way. It seems alto- gether fitting that the memorial gifts would be for the boys and girls’ education after they finish Barium Springs. Plans have already been made for a number of the grad- uating class to enter college in the fall or to take other train- Nos. 7 & 8 CHURCH DEDICATION AND HOMECOMING Sunday, August 4th, will be Homecoming for all the alumni and friends of Barium Springs. Everyone is invited and asked to bring a picnic basket lunch to be spread together under the shade of the trees on the campus. The Church Dedication ceremonies will take place in conjunction with the Morning Worship Service. Dr. W. Taliaferro Thompson from Richmond, Virginia, will be the guest minister to preach the dedicatory sermon. After the picnic lunch on the lawn, there wil be an alumni gather- ing and following that will be open house on the campus. This plan for Homecoming has been chosen because of the request of many people to change from Friday to Sunday with the services of wor- ship. The office of the Alumni Association has made preparations for this and letters are going out to all those whose addresses are on file with the Association. WILL CONTINUE ing. This, together with those who are already in the pro- cess of training or continuing their studies in school, means a great deal of extra money. All who have heard of this plan have been delighted that such a chance will be afforded for the remembering of their loved ones and carrying on the work with these boys and girls after their graduation from Barium Springs. Beginning August 5th, the Memorial Funds will be made applicable to the Educational Fund, and: boys and girls will be assured of an opportunity to pursue their train- ing. All the people who have shared in the Memorial Fund through the years are invited to continue and to tell others of this opportunity of investment in boys and girls in the name of their loved ones. PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE- Nuggets of News FROM LITTLE JOE'S CHURCH REV. ROBERT R. COLLINS, Memsster In the closing chapter of his letter to the Romans the Apostle Paul says to his friends, “I have longed for many years to come to you. . .’ As you read the full chapter it is very evident that Paul anticipated his trip to Rome with gen- uine pleasure. Anticipation is a wonderful thing for it enables us to look forward to events and occasions that we expect to be realized in the future. Those of us who worship Under The Steeple of Little Joe’s Church know this quite well, for we are looking ahead with pleasure to August 4th when we hope that many of you will share with us the completion of a dream in the dedication of our new church. No doubt there are many of you across the Synod who have felt about Barium Springs and Little Joe’s Church as Paul felt about Rome and can say with him, “I have longed for many years to come to you... ” If this be true let me urge you, as pastor of this church, to join us for an occasion that has been anticipated in the hearts of thousands of Presbyterians across our Synod for some years. Alumni of the Home will be celebrating their annual Homecoming in connection with the services of dedication. Dr. W. T. Thompson, former Moderator of our General Assembly, will deliver the dedicatory sermon. Little Joe’s Church is a lovely place of worship, but its true beauty cannot be captured in picture or word. Only as you enter its doors and join with the voices of God’s children in hymns and prayers of thanksgiving and praise can you appre- ciate fully the meaning of this church in the life of Barium Springs. To all of you who have had a part in the building of this house of God and whose interest is deep because of loved ones remembered here, we extend a warm and sincere invita- tion to be present for the dedication services on August 4th at the eleven o’clock worship hour.

The Board of Regents would pause to give humble thanksgiving to Almighty God for His goodness made known in manifold ways in the life of the Home at Barium Springs. The earnest prayers of the people of the Synod, the generous contributions of the Presbyterians of the State of North Carolina and Christian people beyond the bounds of the Synod are evident proof that God’s love dwells in the hearts of people, and that He directs them in providing for the children of the Home. The Regents have met in two regular sessions since the Synod of North Carolina has convened. Through its execu- tive committee and its sub- committees it has been in touch with the work of the Home. It is the unanimous conviction of the Board that the general state of welfare on the campus is good. The children have been blessed with excellent health. Through the work of the den- tal committee and the gener- ous services of the dentist, Dr. Smith Kirk of Salisbury, an unusually fine work has been done on the teeth of the chil- THE BARIUM MESSENGER dren. Instruction through the school has been adequate, the religious life on the campus is normal and its results are above average. While it is not the intent of the Board to paint a rosy picture over all, it is their intent to say that things have been good during the year just closed. Knowing that the Synod of North Carolina is interested in the finances of the Home, the Board would say first that complete reports o f the audi- tors have been placed on file in the Synod’s office, that the requirements of the Steward- ship Committee have been met adequately in the preparation of the budget, and that the books of the Home remain open for the inspection of any interested person at any time that he wishes to know the financial status of the Home. The Board would call to the attention of the Synod of North Carolina the fact that the Thanksgiving Offering was a little lower last year than in previous years. It would also call to the atten- tion of the Synod of North Carolina that the change of the church year, bringing in the necessity of an Every- Member Canvass in Novemb- er has in a real sense affected the taking of the Thanksgiv- ing Offering and, therefore, the amount received. The Board would express its ap- preciation to all the churches for their giving to the Home at Thanksgiving, and would ask the churches who have found difficulty in having the Every-Member Canvass and the Thanksgiving campaign at the same time, to make ade- quate provision, if the way be clear, for the Thanksgiving Offering. Within the recent years the campus has been greatly bene- fited by the erection of some new buildings. In 1952, the gymnasium was completed. In 1955, the new church was fin- ished, also two new cottages and two brick dwelling hous- es. The Board is happy to re- port to the Synod of North Carolina that two of the old- est cottages which were be- coming dangerous to be used are now being replaced by two new buildings. These new cot- tages will be one-story, fire- proof buildings, capable of housing sixteen children——two children to the room. It has been designed so as to be at- tractive in appearance and ef- ficient in function. It was the intent of the Board to so build these two new cottages that they would set the pattern for the future buildings which are yet to be erected, if and when the money is available. These two cottages will be ready for occupancy in the fall and have been made possible out of the special gifts through legacies of friends. Even as fine as it is to have these buildings, it does not yet begin to meet the pressing needs that prevail on the campus for additional housing, farm buildings, and warehouse and cold storage. These are pressing needs that always loom large in the thinking of the Board of Re- gents. It is a happy fact that this summer will bring peaches and apples again for the boys and girls. The 600 peach trees are bearing well and the 800 apple trees are bearing ade- quately for the needs of the children, though not as abund- antly as in former years. The gardens and farm are about average in prospect for the summer needs. Even in spite of some dry weather last year, a new peak was reached in the harvest of small grain—over 6,000 bushels. The crop is not quite as promising this year. Hogs sufficient for barbecue and country ham are now be- ing fattened in the pens. The white-faced herd continues to grow. One of the most recent gifts was from the Morrocroft Farm, Mr. James J. Harris of Charlotte sending five of his thoroughbreds up to join the Barium herd. Next year may hold some- thing new in the farming at Barium Springs for the Soil Conservation Unit on _ the Third Creek watershed pro- poses, if the way be clear, to construct a dam on the Bar- ium property for conservation purposes. This lake will af- ford opportunity for irriga- tion on one section of the farm and this will become the gar- den area. High hopes are en- tertained that this project will be approved and that this work can go forward. If any- one has extra irrigation equip- ment which he wishes to dis- pose of, let the Board of Re- gents know. The Board of Regents would call to the attention of the Synod of North Carolina the need for qualified leader- ship on the campus. It is dif- ficult to secure enough cap- able help to properly care for the boys and girls of the Home. It is necessary to re- duce the cottage loads to where one person can satis- factorily serve that number. This calls for a larger number of persons on the staff and also the type of training be- ing done calls for persons who are qualified in mind and body and spirit to render ef- fective service with a large group of children. The minist- ers and elders in the Synod of North Carolina could be of real service in encouraging such persons to seek employ- ment at Barium Springs. The Spring of 1957 brought to a close a grand era in the life of Barium Springs. Many years ago when the life of the children was pretty largely work and school and not much play, a program of half-day work and half-day school pre- vailed. Under the administra- tion of Dr. Joseph B. John- ston this was changed and the school was made to conform with the regular County School system.

The vaca- tion season was begun a little early this year because the harvest having been complet- ed, it was necessary to get the vacation time over so that everybody would be back in to take care of the peach sea- son. Many busy days lie be- tween the vacation time and the opening of school. The late summer gardens are to be tak- en care of, the peaches are to be picked and canned, the ve- getables will be ready for can- ning, the Homecoming and the Dedication of the Church will be a highlight in the midst of these days. On August 15th, Coach R. G. Calhoun will be returning to the campus and calling for the football squad to get ready for the fall schedule. The first half of the summer was indeed busy. A large number of boys and girls attended the Young People’s Conferences and the Pioneer Camps at Camp Grier. A Bible School was held for the younger children. The grain was harvested and the hay was baled and the spring gardens were taken care of. With an increase of fifty in the herd more work is necessary down around the dairy barn and the beef herd. A fine work program has been carried on and the children have been especially good in growing and gathering food for the table and the pantry, not enly for the summer, but for the winter days to come.

This performed a magnificent ser- vice for the Home. The Board recently adopted the plan which goes a step further in that the boys and girls of the high school are to be a part of the high school at Troutman, N. C., thus better fitting them to live in the community after graduating from Barium Springs. So, as the seniors of 1957 recessed from the halls of the Elementary School Building, high school com- mencements on the campus became a thing of the past. While there is a bit of sadness in the passing of any fine cus- tom, there is also joy in the anticipation of the larger re- lationships and the better ser- vice to be offered to these boys and girls in the school at Troutman. A new high school building with a student body of 400 fine boys and girls working together will be a better thing than a _ small group isolated on the campus. One of the great days in the life of Barium Springs is yet to come. On August 4th, 1957, there will be the dedication of the new church building. The Memorial Fund which began nearly two decades ago has continued and has now reach- ed the point where the total indebtedness of the church will be erased by that date. The dedication service has been set, and Dr. W. Taliafer- ro Thompson, past moderator of the General Assembly, will be the speaker. It will also be Homecoming for the alumni and friends. A basket lunch will be served under the trees and the alumni gathering will be the feature of the after- noon’s exercises. All who have seen this church agree that it has fulfilled the three-fold function for which it was de- signed: first, to glorify God; second, to be a fitting memor- ial; and, third, to be an in- spiration to the worshippers on this campus. It is with humble gratitude to the Head of the Church that the Re- gents report to you now the dedication to come of this edifice. The Memorial Fund, through which this church has been built, will continue. The Regents have already taken the proper action to continue this Fund and to use the money derived therefrom for the further education and training of the boys and girls who graduate from Barium Springs. Jp until the present time, money has been insuf- ficient to meet the needs of these boys and girls who, aft- er high school graduation, continue to be in a real sense the children of the Church and ought, therefore, to have someone to provide for their needs for additional education and training. All who have heard of this decision have ex- ALUMNI NEWS In a recent copy of The Presbyterian News we noticed that the children of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Waters received awards for perfect attendance in the Sunday School of the Cape Fear Presbyterian Church at Wilmington, N.

Addie McEwen who gradu- ated at Barium Springs this year is taking a course in beauty culture in Charlotte and is living at the YWCA. Johnny Collins who is in the pressed their delight in the op- portunity of sharing further in the lives oi these childre through the Memorial Fund. The Regents of the Home at Barium Springs feel that they are charged with a tre- mendous responsibility of ex- pending wisely the funds that are sent in, in order that the needs of the children may be properly met. We continue to aceept this responsibility in the full knowledge that we, along with the children, rest in the hearts and prayers of the people of this Synod. We would call upon the people of the Synod of North Carolina to continue to remember the work and workers of this Home and the boys and girls who live here, that the Will of God may be done at Barium Springs.

COTTAGE NEWS Rumple Hall Hi There— We are back again with the news of our cottage. The Howard Cottage girls are not the only “Beanstringers” any more because we have been stringing beans a lot recently. We certainly did enjoy our- selves when we were invited to Statesville to the carnival. Some of us over-did the riding a little bit but recovered quickly. We have really been scrub- bing lately trying to get every- thing spic and span before we leave for our vacation. How- ever, we have been so excited about vacations, maybe the scrubbing has not been as thorough as it should have been. Hope everybody has a hap- py summer—see you in Sep- tember! Howard Cottage Hi! Well it’s the Beanstringers again with their news. We have two birthdays in July and August—Mary Ann Mc- Bennett’s and Martha Trivet- te’s. Mary Ann’s is July 19th and Martha’s is August 9th. We have nine girls in our cottage taking piano. They are Beverly Hyde, Brenda Shep- herd, Nancy Joyner, Lou An- na Bridgers, Linda Sue Med- lin, Elva Medlin, Vicki Braf- ford, Martha Trivette, and Diane Kiser. Last Sunday was Mr. Mc- Clure’s birthday. Miss Sims’, Miss Jackson’s, and Miss Bell’s girls and Miss Winnie’s boys surprised him by making a birthday cake for him. We all sneaked up to the house with the cake and hid it in the garage. Then we went on the porch and knocked on the door. When he opened it we started singing Happy Birth- day. Boy! was he surprised! We all are getting ready and looking forward to vaca- tion and we hope everyone will be happy. The Beanstringers.

C., SEPTEMBER 1957 No. 9 Light Weight And Fine Spirit Mark 1957 Football Squad By JERRY JOSEY BARIUM SPRINGS—Almost a complete “new look” is in store for followers of Barium Springs’ Tor- nadoes this fall. The Presbyterians’ single-wing attack will find new men carrying the load in the backfield. The 1957 edition will be light, but speedy. Coach R. G. Calhoun, who has been conditioning the Presbyterians on Sloan Field for a seven-game schedule, said “we're going to be a little faster than last year.” Barium Springs lost heavily in the backfield last year and a major rebuilding job is on tap to revamp the Tornadoes’ single wing. Line- men, moved to the backfield, are expected to carry the load, along with the lone backfield returnee, Fullback Charles Ward. Calhoun added: “Best thing now is all the spirit and cooperation. They really hustle. If they keep that up, we'll come up to their full po- tential.” Barium, as usual, will have a small squad. The Tornadoes have 24 eligible men in high school and 24 candidates are seeking starting berths for the 1957 eleven. But, as anyone who has followed the athletic situation at Barium very closely will know, the Torna- does make up their lack of size in numbers and squad members with a never-say-die spirit that causes larger school, bigger opponents and rival coaches to wonder where all that energy comes from. The Tor- nadoes are not, and never have been, a pushover. They've had their ups-and-downs. But if spirit and determination will win ball games, this year could well materialize into an “up” situation. Ten lettermen are returning to the Tornado lineup this season, and the squad is predominantly com- posed of juniors and sophomores. Richard Blackburn, a 139-pound junior; Wayne Wright, a 151- sound junior, and Jim Bunnell, a 156-pound sophomore, are back at the flanks and are expected to carry the load at that spot. Jim Blake, a 150-pound junior; Donald Frazier, another junior at 155-pounds, and Ricky McArthur, a 141-pound junior, are returning at tackle. Frazier will also see duty at center. Jim Kiser, a 154-pound sopho- more, and Peyton Miller, a 164- pound senior, are letter-earners at guard. Miller is the biggest man on the squad at 164. Charles Ward, the only returnee in the backfield, will probably run at both tailback and fullback. The 140-pounder is a senior. Randy Shaw, a letterman guard, has been switched to the backfield. Shaw is a 163-pound junior and is the second heaviest man on the squad. Jim White, a non-letterman who played reserve center last year, is expected to hold down the pivot spot this season. White is a 150- pound senior. Shaw, who stands 5-11, has play- ed backfield before moving into the line and will work at both the blocking back and tailback slots. Harold Evans, a 147-pound sen- ior, has been moved from tackle to the wingback position. Several outstanding candidates for starting positions were carried on the squad last season and may play prominent roles in Barium’s machine this year. In addition to Evans, who will double at tackle, Joe Ramsey, a 158- pound junior, will be back for duty in the tackle slot. Graham Blake, a 155-pound junior, and Richard Mc- Kenzie, a 131-pound sophomore, are expected to see a lot of duty at guard. Buddy Cochran, a 136-pound sophomore; Kenneth Joyner, a 139- pound junior, and Melvin Mc- Kenzie, a 142-pound senior, will work with the backfield unit. Calhoun, when asked about his squad, reported no injuries in early workouts. He listed a_ tentative squad, with some of the boys doub- ling up in positions, as follows: Left End—Wayne Wright and Rickie McArthur; left tackle — Donald Frazier and Harold Evans; left guard—Jim Kiser and Richard McKenzie; center—Jim White and Donald Frazier; right guard—Pey- ton Miller and Graham Blake; right tackle—Jim Blake and Joe Ramsey; right end—Richard Blackburn and Jim Bunnell. Backs are expected to switch positions and Barium’s starting unit is expected to come from Randy Shaw, Charles Ward, Kenneth Joy- ner, Melvin McKenzie, Buddy Cochrane and Harold Evans. Calhoun lost six good men from last year’s squad. Three of the start- ing backfield unit graduated, and with Lawton Rice, Walter Plyler and Ronnie Hudgins all missing, it leaves a big hole and rebuilding job in the offensive unit. LeNair Burns, rugged center, also gradu- ated, along with End Sidney Mor- rison, Tackle Mac McClure and Guard Oscar Utsman in the de- fensive unit. Barium’s seven-game schedule, all conference clashes in the North Piedmont Conference, will find four home games being played at Sloan Field, one of the most beauti- ful high school fields in the state.

(Continued on Page Two) HIGH SCHOOL TO TROUTMAN— ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON CAMPUS The opening of school in late August brought about the complete transition of the High School from the Barium campus to the Con- solidated School at Troutman. Be- cause of limited space, only the freshman and sophomore classes were enrolled last year. This year the rising senior class and the ris- ing freshman class joined the two already there to make the four grades together in the Troutman High School. All High School ac- tivities except the athletic program will be carried on in the Troutman High School. The Home will con- tinue for awhile to carry on a var- sity athletic program in its regular Conference. The Elementary School benefited in this change because the over- crowded conditions were relieved by removing some of the grades from the Elementary building to the old High School building, thus providing space for teaching the regular classes and also taking care of the regular public school music and piano teaching. The list of teachers for the Ele- mentary School are as _ follows: R. G. Calhoun, Principal; Eighth Grade, A. M. Calhoun; Seventh Grade, Miss Reba Thompson; Sixth Grade, Miss Kathryn Troutman; Fifth Grade, Mrs. Frances Moore; Fourth Grade, Miss Mary Faye Stevenson; Third Grade, Mrs. O. D. Durham; Second Grade, Miss Elea- nor Miller; First Grade, Mrs. A. M. Calhoun; Piano, Miss Shirley Kearns; Public School Music, Miss Charlotte Calhoun. All reports from both the Trout- man High School and the Elemen- tary School on the campus are good and it now appears that we are off to a good start for another academic year. Thirteen Thousand Two Hundred And Forty-Five Names In For nearly two decades the Me- morial Fund has been applicable to the building of the Church. Records have been kept in order that the names of those remembered might be put in the Book of Memory. This has been completed and there are now written in the Book of Memory 13,245 names. On the basis of the records in the office it is estimated that rnore than 100,- Book Of Memory 000 persons have shared in making these contributions in memory of their loved ones and friends. The Memorial Fund will con- tinue. The children who finish at Barium Springs will thus be assured of additional education and train- ing because this money for the next few years will be made applicable to the Educational Fund. CHURCH DEDICATION AND HOMECOMING PICNIC SCENE HELD ON AUGUST 4th PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE- Nuggets of News FROM LITTLE JOE’S CHURCH REV. ROBERT R. COLLINS, Minister The dedication of the new church on August 4th marked a milestone in a dream that was begun nearly two decades ago. Those of us who participated in the service sensed that we were a part of something God had done, yet as always He had chosen human hands for the fulfillment of the task. Because so many of you across the Synod had a part in the building of this church it seems appropriate that the Litany of Dedication used on August 4th be the major content of this column this month. This lirany sums up the purpose and goal which prompted the building of Little Joe’s Church and which will guide its use in the years ahead. LITANY OF DEDICATION Dearly Beloved: Inasmuch as it has pleased Almighty God to put ino the hearts of His servants to build this edifice for His Glory, let us now fulfill the Godly purpose for which we are assembled by dedicating it to the honor of God’s Holy Name. To the Glory of God, to the honor of Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Saviour, and to the praise of the Holy Spirit, our For the sanctity of our Church family, for the teaching and training of the young, and for the perfecting of the saints; For the conversion of sinners, for the promotion of righteous- Knowing that in this sacred place all who come may find forgiveness of sin, comfort in sorrow, joy in service, peace in For the gifts which made this building possible, for the serv- ices of those who enabled its erection, for the answered pray- Minister: Comforter and Guide; People: We dedicate this building. Minister: People: We dedicate this building. Minister: ness, for the extension of God’s Kingdom; People: We dedicate this building. Minister: God's will; People: We dedicate this building. Minister: ers it represents; People: We give God the glory. Unison: to God and to His service. We, now, the people of this congregation, rededicate ourselves Amen. Now, as I look back to the Dedication Service it seems that we sought to proclaim in it the aim of our ministry in much the same way as did Paul when he wrote to the Colossians: “Him we proclaim, warn- ing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may pre- sent every man mature in Christ.” As we seek to fulfill this high calling we covet your earnest prayers for the ministry you have established, Under the Steeple.

C., OCTOBER 1957 No. 10 TWO NEW COTTAGES COMPLETED AND ARE NOW OCCUPIED Two new cottages have been completed replacing Synod Cottage and Annie Louise Cottage. These two new buildings are one story, fireproof buildings, housing sixteen children each. There are four rooms with two children to the room at each end of the building and in the center are the kitchen, dining- room, play porch, living- room and _ housemother’s rooms. Great thought and care have been given to the plan- ning of these buildings so as to make them less institution- aland more home-like. The boys and girls now living there feel that this has been accomplished and when the furniture has been secured for the living-room and porches the buildings will have quite a home-like atmosphere. At present the dining- room will be used only occa- sionally during the week and on Saturday and Sunday even- ings, but in the days to come the dining-room will be used more and more and these cot- tages are capable of being seif-contained and providing full living in the event that the central dining-room is ever discontinued. These cottages have not yet been named but that will be a matter for the Board of Re- gents to determine at its fall meeting in November. Twelve New Children Join The Family A dozen boys and girls have come to Barium Springs to join the others here in the big Barium family. Golden- haired Gloria Traywick from Belmont and Carl Dickson from Southern Pines are in the Baby Cottage. Percy and Leonard Utsman, having been here once before, find coming back a little easier than their first arrival; they are living in Lees Cottage with Mrs. Watson; also, in Lees Cottage is O’Neil Marshburn from Olivia. Carolyn Childers from Lenoir and Mae and Grace Dean Jolly from Taylorsville live in the Lottie Walker Building. Howard Cottage re- ceived Carol Watts from Fayettevilie and Kay Marsh- burn from Olivia. Paul Schni- tzer from Rocky Mount is living in Stultz Cottage. Jack Brooks of Charlotte, a high school freshman, is living in Johnston Building. Other applications are be- ing studied and admissions will be made throughout the year. The two new cottages just finished afford addition- al space and the number of admissions can be larger this year than in any of the re- cent years. COTTAGE NEWS Rumple Hall Well, we are not the Bean- stringers anymore, instead we are the Rumple Hall Girls. We moved in August. All the girls moved except Diane Ki- ser and she moved into one of the new cottages. We like it better now because we have our own rooms. We have ten girls in our cottage who take piano les- sons. We enjoy it so much and want to keep on taking. Vicki Brafford celebrated her birthday on September 28th. Linda Shepherd’s birth- day was October ist. We had a good time at the Fair. We did not want to leave when it was time to come home, we were having such a good time. We certain- ly are looking forward to Hal- loween, especially “Trick or Treating.” We hope that we can dress up so no one can recognize us. Well, that’s all the news for now. The Rumple Hall Girls South Cottage Hello Everyone— A lot of new things have been happening recently. We were all excited about the new buildings being finished. We were more excited about who was going to move into them. Almost everyone thought that they might get to live in one of them. Ten of us from Lot- tie Walker with two new boys from the Baby Cottage, Roger Ruff and Eddie Webb, moved into one of the new buildings. Also, three big boys, Charles McLean, Henry Harris, and Harold Evans, came to live with us. We are liking it. Another event was the Fair. We all went on Septem- ber 18th and we had a won- derful time, though it was drizzling rain. We won first prize on our sheep and first prize on our cows, also we won a first prize on our ap- ples. We won fourth place on our school exhibit. Our minister, Mr. Collins, was gone to West Virginia for a week to preach in another church. We missed him. Everybody is busy settling down after a fine summer and getting ready for school. It has really turned winter weather in a hurry. We bundled up in winter clothes for several days. Our birthdays for October are Gregory Lockamy and Dwight Lefler. That about winds up the news with us for this time. We will see you next month, we hope. Ronald Brown and the Boys of New South Cottage (Continued on Page 2) ALUMNI NEWS Charlie and Thelma Sears, from Grandfather Home, Banner Elk, and their two children, Ellen and Dan were visitors on the campus.

Our hearts were saddened at the news of the tragic death of Betty Lou Johnson which occurred on September 10th. Betty Lou was killed in an automobile accident near Burlington. Betty Lou graduated in the Class of 1955. Broten Leads Staff In Week’s Study A very valuable week of in- service training has been con- cluded under the leadership of Alton M. Broten. The house parents spent daily sessions in discussing the topic “How can I live with my Job?” Al- so, time was afforded for in- dividual conferences for the members of the staff to dis- cuss with Mr. Broten particu- lar phases of their work or the total program as it affect- ed them in their cottages. These studies come asa part of the Child Care Project in which the Southeastern Conference andthe Univer- sity of North Carolina in a cooperative effort provide this in-service training. Dr. Alan Keith Lucas, the direc- tor, assisted by Mr. Alton M. Broten have scheduled regu- lar study sessions on the cam- puses of the participating in- stitutions. Also, they afford special information and heip during the year and climax the program with the work- shops at Chapel Hill during the summer months. CONCORD PRESBYTERY MEN HAVE RECORD RALLY ATTENDANCE The Men’s Rally of Concord Presbytery set a new record for attendance this year. President Fielding Clark had predicted that a host of men would be present and Barium Springs began to get ready early. Pigs were set aside for barbecue and everybody on the campus was. alerted for special duty. And so when the day arrived the tables were set and 1100 pounds of choice meat had been barbecued, slaw had been made, and the beans had been baked, and the drinks and dessert were in place. From five o’clock in the afternoon until 7:20, the men filed by for the barbecue supper. When the line ended more than 700 men had pass- ed the table. The boys and giris and staff members of the Home were busy as bees getting this job done ina grand fashion. Following the supper, the meeting was held in Little Joe’s Presbyterian Church. Reports were heard and inspirational addresses were given and the three churches having record atten- dance were Salisbury First, Bayless Memorial, and Pros- pect. The First Presbyterian Church in Salisbury took the top place with 62 men in at- tendance. This annual event on the campus meansa lot of hard work but it also affords great pleasure to the Barium family in rendering service to the Men of the Church. INTERESTING FACTS AND FIGURES FROM DUKE ENDOWMENT YEARBOOK The Trustees of The Duke En- dowment for the thirty-second con- secutive year assisted the child- caring institutions in the Carolinas with their operating expenses. Be- ginning with 1956 the fiscal year used for requesting assistance from The Duke Endowment ended on September 30 instead of the calen- dar year, and the 1956 figures in this report are for the nine months’ period January 1 through Septem- ber 30, except as otherwise indi- cated. Future reports will be for the twelve months’ period October 1 through September 39. In 1956 there were 40 child- caring institutions assisted, 27 in North Carolina and 13 in South Carolina, one more than the num- ber assisted in 1955. For the first time the Church of God Home for Children, Gaffney, South Carolina, which opened on January 1, 1956, was assisted. The name of the Free Will Baptist Orphanage, Middlesex, North Carolina, was changed to the Free Will Baptist Children’s Home, and the name of the Christian Orphanage, Elon College, North Carolina, was changed to the Con- gregational Christian Home for Children. Bed Capacity at the 40 institu- tions was 5,428 on September 30, 1956 and 4,632 children were cared for on the average day during the nine months’ period January 1 through September 30, 1956. Children Cared For in the nine months’ period ending September 30, 1956 numbered 5,698, of which 2,923 or 51.3 per cent were full or half-orphan children, while 2,775 THANKSGIVING MATERIALS Posters, literature, and Thanksgiving en- velopes have been prepared and will be mailed to all the churches the first of No- vember. If for any reason your church does not receive this literature, please no- tify the Home for this Thanksgiving Of- fering is essential to the life of the Home. or 48.7 per cent were children with both parents living. The number of children with both parents dead was 383, being 6.7 per cent of the total. By age groups the number of children cared for were divided as follows: over 12 years of age, 3,067 or 53.8 per cent; between six and 12 years, 2,423 or 42.5 per cent; and under six years of age, 208 or 3.7 per cent. There were 3,003 boys and 2,695 girls cared for during the nine months’ period January 1 through September 30, 1956. Admissions during the nine months’ period January 1 through September 30, 1956 totaled 1,063. Of these 1,063 admissions, 993 were new admissions and 70 re- admissions. Discharges numbered 1,157 dur- ing the nine months’ period Jan- uary 1 through September 30, 1956. The 40 assisted institutions on Sep- tember 30, 1956 were caring for 4,541 children as compared with 4,634 reported by 39 institutions on December 31, 1955. Days of Care at the 40 institu- tions totaled 1,268,997 during the nine months’ period January 1 through September 30, 1956, with 680,356 or 53.6 per cent being days of care of orphan and half- orphan children. For children with both parents living there were 588,- 641 days of care rendered, being 464 per cent of the total. The average number of children cared for per day during the period was 4,632 as compared with an aver- age of 4,672 for the 39 institutions during 1955. Direct service to chil- (Continued on Page 3) & PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER OCTOBER 1957 UNDER THE STEEPLE-N uggets of News FROM LITTLE JOE'S CHURCH Rev, ROBERT R. COLLINS, Minister One of the most moving prayers in the Bible is found in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, chapter 3:14-21. In his petition Paul ask that “... Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”’ To my mind this prayer offers us one of the finest insights into the life of the great missionary and preacher, and helps to explain why Paul was so successful in proclaiming the gos- pel of Jesus Christ. I have often wondered what would happen to the life of a church, any church, if there were those who each day would sincerely offer this prayer in its behalf. Throughout the Synod of North Carolina there are thous- ands of Presbyterians who have a genuine interest in the work that is being carried out at Barium Springs. Each year churches send gifts that sustain the physical needs of our large family of children. And there are unknown numbers who regu- larly remember our Home in prayer. Yet, this year as we move toward that season when you especially think of the Home and the Christian nurture you wish to provide for these boys and girls, I should like to sug- gest that prayer be a greater part of your offering than ever before. Perhaps you have never considered prayer as an offer- ing, but it is my sincere conviction that intercessory prayer for the spiritual needs of our family Under The Steeple is as es- sential to our program at Barium Springs as are the gifts of food, money, and clothing. By His own example, Jesus indi- cated that intercessory prayer was vital to the Christian life. In the Book of the Acts and in the letters of Paul we find re- peated emphasis upon the power of prayer. We are certain of the genuine concern that you have for your Home at Barium Springs. Because of this deep love I hope that thousands of you all across the Synod will make Paul’s prayer in Ephesians a guide as you remember us often before our Father’s throne of grace. It is my firm belief that such a chain of prayer will greatly “strengthen us with the might of his Spirit in the inner man” and we shall indeed be bound to- eether in the love of Christ so that His will may be increasing- ly known and done in our daily life at Barium Springs.

Mr. Hanks and his dairy boys won red and blue ribbons and a Grand Cham- pion on the Holstein cow; three blue ribbons went to the orchard boys on their apples, and the garden crew also came in for blue ribbons and prize money for their vege- tables. The school and the farm were also winners, and so a whole hand full of blue and red ribbons and nearly $150.00 in cash was brought in. On Wednesday afternoon of the Fair week the whole grounds were turned over to the boys and girls of Barium. Wearing their school colors, they were the guests of the Statesville Kiwanis Club and, through the courtesy of the managements of The Amuse- ments of America, the whole show was open to them. The dive bomber, caterpillar, rol- ler-coaster, Ferris wheels, Merry - go - round, swings, scrambler, the toy train and cars and ponies, all were run- ning and Barium had a glor- ious time. COTTAGE NEWS (Continued from Page 1) Howard Cottage Hi! We “Bees” from the “Bee Tree” have moved into Howard Cottage which means that we have turned into the “Bean Stringers.” We do not know how the folks _ in this cottage came to be called “Bean Stringers” because every cottage on the campus whose children are not work- ing on something else share in the bean stringing during the summer and fall. We have lots of fun singing on the back porch while we string the beans for our big dining- room or for canning. We surely love this big Ho- yard building with lots of space for everybody anda kitchen of our own. The Fair was wonderful, but the whole afternoon seem- ed like only a few minutes— we wish that it had not been so short. We have two new girls, Carol, ten years old, and Kay, 6 years old. They are lots of fun and Kay keeps us laugh- ing over the cute funny way she says things. Our big, red, juicy Barium apples are delicious. One grade even made a play about them a year ago. They taste so good when we come home from school every afternoon. OCTOBER 1957 THE BARIUM MESSENGER came to you on the 1955 Thanksgiving poster. 1 in 1955. While she is busy with books, his first a ae ee = wa er a dren in foster homes was provided by three institutions and they re- ported a total of 40,326 days of foster care rendered, with 10,426 days or 25.9 per cent being for orphan and half-orphan children. The Trustees of The Duke Endow- ment assisted these three institu- tions in the foster home care of orphan and half-orphan children on the same basis as for care rendered in the institutions. Employees at the 40 institutions numbered 1,031 in the period Jan- uary 1 through September 30, 1956, which was an average of one em- ployee for every four children based on the average number of children cared for per day. Schools. A total of 4,876 insti- tution children were enrolled in schools during the 1955-56 school term. Of the total enrollment, 2,622 or 53.8 per cent were en- rolled in schools maintained at the institutions, whereas 2,254 or 46.2 per cent attended public schools away from the institutions. Mothers’ Aid and Foster Home Care. Two institutions provided assistance to 38 mothers and 101 children in their homes during the nine months’ period January 1 through September 30, 1956.

Based on the average number of children per day, the average invest- ment per child was $5,287 at the 40 institutions. On September 30, 1956, 26 institutions reported a total of $11,367,300 held in invest- ed funds. Indebtedness, capital and operat- ing, amounted to $748,434 on Sep- tember 30, 1956, which represented an increase of $27,273 or 3.8 per cent over the figure on December 3t, 1953.

Excluding extra-institu- tional services, the average cost per child per day was $3.18 for the nine months’ period January 1 through September 30, 1956, an increase of $ .27 or 9.3 per cent over the aver- age cost per child per day for the calendar year 1955. Using the aver- age cost per child per day as a base at the 40 institutions, the average cost per child per year (366 days) was $1,163.88, an increase of $101.- 73 or 9.6 per cent over the figure for the calendar year 1955.

There is soap in bars, box- es, bottles, and barrels. Whe- ther it’s Ivory or Lux, Rinso or Tide, Halo or Prell, or whether it’s the commercial soap in barrels and tubs, it serves a purpose at Barium Springs. Let it tell its own story. I speak for the bars of soap. We come to Barium by the thousands and are distributed to the cottages by the hun- dreds. Dirty hands and faces are our business. When it comes to the ears, be it an in- side job or around the edges, we have to make them shine. Not only do we get the rough work on the boys like rusty knees and dirty feet, but, we. also, must keep the girls fresh and dainty. More than 300 of us go down the drain each week. The boys choose the manly names and odors while the girls prefer the perfumed soaps. I am a liquid cleanser, all 3,000 pounds of me, for I have to be ready for quick ac- tion. 1am on duty 3 times a day, 365 days in the year. It is my business to see that nearly 45,000 plates are freed of syrup and gravy and pota- toes and the yellow of an egg. I have to rumble and roar in the big dishwasher as the serving bowls from the 40 tables come sliding through for cleansing and I have to be quick and fast and easy on the draw when the 1,000 piec- es of silver—knives, forks and spoons—come churning through the tubs. No germs can stay here because boys and girls must stay healthy. (Continued on Page 2) Calhoun Reports On School A recent request was made by the Secretary of the Na- tional Beta Club for the nam- es of colleges which Beta Club graduates of last year are now attending. It was a plea- sure to report that two were at Davidson College, and that the other one was enrolled at The Woman’s College of The University of North Carolina. Of course, a fourth member of eleven in the 1957 graduat- ing class is a student at Lees- McRae College. It is gratify- ing to know that our boys and girls are joining the Beta Club as well as other student organizations in the Trout- man School. Since the High School stu- dents are now attending Troutman, it is possible for us to set up a better organization for our Elementary School. BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., NOVEMBER 1957 RE B. mccLu REV. ALBERT ,cnoent No. 11 The sixth, seventh, and eighth grades are being housed in the old High School building where there is ample room for the teaching of music and science together with the great advantages of a good Central Library. Itis hoped that a Central Library may be set up in the Primary Building now being used by the first five grades. We will then be utilizing all rooms in that building as the teaching of piano is carried on in one of the rooms. This new organ- ization should relieve the cramped conditions hereto- fore experienced, and present a better teaching situation in our Elementary School. Interest and enthusiasm in our music program continues at a high pitch. It is encourag- ing to see boys and girls eager to sing in special groups or in a church choir. The quality of (Continued on Page 2) PAGE TWO UNDER THE STEEPLE- Nuggets of News FROM LITTLE JOE’S CHURCH REV, ROBERT R. COLLINS, Minister Thanksgiving is a word which has no true meaning apart from action. Too often we have thought of Thanksgiving as a holiday spent with family and friends and marked by an abun- dance of good food. But this is neither the Biblical nor his- torical meaning of the word. Thanksgiving, properly under- stood, is an expression by an individual or a group of the grat- itude they feel in their hearts for the manifold blessings of God. For the Pilgrims on that first Thanksgiving this did not mean an abundance of food, for their stores were still quite meager and their only real hope was a confidence in the good- ness of God. But because of this faith in God and the freedom that was now theirs to worship Him without fear, they gave thanks. They expressed their Thanksgiving by worshipping together and by sharing with one another a part of the har- vest which had been gathered. Thanksgiving Day then, in its historical setting and its Christian background, is a time for worship and sharing. It has long been customary in the Synod of North Caro- lina that the Presbyterian people remember our Home here at Barium Springs with a Thanksgiving Offering. For this of- fering we are truly grateful because without it your work for Christ could not go on in this place. But as you make your gift this year, I should like for you to do more than write a check or put your money in an envelope. As the pastor of your fam- ily of boys and girls Under The Steeple I want you to join us in worship, offering with your gift of money a prayer of thanksgiving for our Home and for every child who has been given to us by God to care for and watch over. Thanksgiving Day will find our family together in Little Joe’s Church. There is so much for which we are grateful and our voices shall be united in hymns and prayers of thanksgiv- ing and praise. We too shall bring our gifts, some pennies, some dimes, some dollars. And the day will be made perfect for us in our knowledge that many of you are joined with us in the giving of thanks to God, our heavenly Father. FAYE HICKS CHOSEN FESTIVAL QUEEN The annual Fall Festival for the Troutman School was a gala affair. Each grade of the twelve had nominated candidates for king and queen. Out of this number there was to be a queen of the Elementary School and a Queen of the High School and also a King from each of the schools. As a climax of the evening of festivity and fund raising the crowning cere- monies took place. When the ballots had all been tabulated and the counting was over, Faye Hicks of Barium Springs was declared the win- ner and crowned the Queen of the Fall Festival in the cere- monies on the stage as the hundreds of people in the audience cheered the occasion. For the last two years in a row Barium Springs girls have been the winners in the event. Last year’s queen was Audrey Waters.

(Continued from Page 1) I serve in two places—not only in the dishroom but, also, in the kitchen. Three 50-gal- lon steam pots must come clean. Frying pans, ovens, skillets, knives, sinks, mixers, potato peelers, and all must be ready for inspection and for use. It takes a lot of foaming and scrubbing to keep this kitchen and dining room and the cottage kitchens and din- ing rooms wholesome for the Barium boys and girls. Iam the powdered soap, sometimes scientifically cal- led a detergent. Regardless of my name, my job is the same. I come in 400 pound barrels, eight times a year. It is my business to tumble and toil inside the big washer and what a struggle I have! Ten thousand pairs of blue jeans in a year’s time surely do take a lot of me for it is some struggle to remove paint, ap- ple stain, red mud, airplane glue, chewing gum, axle grease, cylinder oil, gravy and syrup from these boys’ cloth- es. And that’s not all. There are 25,000 sheets to be made clean for these children’s beds are made fresh each week; to say nothing of the 5,000 dress- es that I have to wash. While these dresses are not as tough as boys’ clothes; yet, I have to curl up mighty close to get in the corner of a ruffle to get the dirt out. These girls are mighty particular about their school dresses and I have to have them clean; so, from sun-up to sun-down, it’s tum- ble and toil—toil and tumble —in the big washer in the laundry. I am speaking for a special- ized group. They call me “goo grease.” I am kept for the special occasions. After a lawn mower has been over- hauled, a smokestack cleaned out, a car load of coal unload- ed, the boys call for me. I look like a grease but work like a soap. I am not as big as the barrels in the laundry and kitchens nor as manifold as the bars in the bathrooms, but I fix up these boys’ hands and make them real pretty for hand holding at date time. How much of Barium’s budget is used for soap? Only a tiny part when you realize that it takes 50 pounds of hamburger, 10 gallons of green limas, 1 bushel of slic- ed tomatoes, 20 loaves of bread, 8 pounds of butter, 30 gallons of milk, 20 pounds of cake mix, and 4 gallons of sauce to serve one meal. The “Soap Opera” with its exact figures in story setting can show how large the tiny items of the budget are and, thus, in contrast and comparison give some concept of the tre- mendous task in supplying the needs of the boys and girls at Barium Springs.

It is a good sign when students look forward with great anti- cipation to taking part ina school or church performance. The primary grades are work- ing busily in a Rhythm Band and they should be ready to present a program during the coming year. The 99.3 per-cent atten- dance figure for the last school year, and the 99.6 per- cent figure for the first month of this year attest to the continued good health of our boys and girls. All of our students have had three polio shots and the yearly check- ups with follow-up work are factors in our health program. Ali students are having their vision checked this fall in or- der that proper examinations and corrections may be made as soon as possible. Finally, let me say that the spirit and enthusiasm in our football program is unusually high this year. For the first time on record all high school boys reported for football practice this fall, and a large squad of Elementary boys are working out twice a week. It may be that the fine record of our boys’ basketball team last winter added some incen- tive for greater participation.

Most of us made the Honor Roll and all of us made better grades. All of our cottage members from the first through the fifth grades had a wonderful trip to the circus. There were bare back riders, clowns, and more animals than we can mention. Our sixth graders went to see Davidson beat West Virginia Tech in foot- ball. Our three third-graders are much interested in their science laboratory in school. All of us are having an op- portunity to participate in some of the special choir sing- ing for our Spiritual Enrich- ment Services with Dr. Krae- mer this week. Halloween is big talk a- round here! Decorations, cos- tumes, witches, cats, pump- kins, and all the other things which make up this weird time of this pretty season. We take time out for spe- cial prayer and_ loving thoughts for our Elsie who has gone from us a day or two to attend her grandfather’s funeral. We rejoice with her that Heaven is his permanent home and that she can and does plan to meet him there. All of you good friends come to see us and enjoy with us the beauty of our autumn season and the happiness of our home. Howard Cottage. Rumple Hall Here we are again with our bits of news. We got our report cards Monday. Three people made the Honor Roll. They are: Joyce Ann Hughes, Linda Sue Medlin, and Lou Anna Bridgers. There were not any Honor Roll students from Troutman. We are expecting better grades from them next time. I am sure they will do better. We are all glad to have Mrs. Hager with us again. She is our substitute when Miss Sims is away.

The ex- ploits of the season were re- viewed and the letters award- ed with commendation at the football banquet. Every boy who went out for either Var- sity or Midget ball and re- mained with the squad throughout the season was in- vited to attend, along with the seniors and cheer leaders and members of the staff. Mrs. Neill and Mrs. Camp- bell had prepared a wonderful supper. Mrs. Pope and _ her helpers had arranged the din- ing room attractively, so that it was a festive occasion. Since coffee is served to all guests, and since this is about the only opportunity some of the younger members have of getting hold of it, extra quan- tities were prepared because the usual custom prevailed and the younger members drank the older ones under the table. In awarding the letters it was noted that if a winning score is the only yardstick for an athletic contest, then Bari- um had a dismal] season, but if the sportsmanship, bod y- building, and wholesome ree- reation derived from such a program is of any value, then Barium had a good season this year. The Coach com- mended the boys for their work, their diligence and for their continued strong play even against the odds of a small squad and a_ heavy schedule. R. G. Calhoun, the principal of the school and coach of football, now revers- es his role with his brother, A. M. Calhoun, who is a teacher and the coach of basketball. A. M. Calhoun assists R. G. Calhoun during the football season and during the basket- ball season they reverse their roles. Thus, these two men, as has been true for many years, direct the athletic varsity pro- gram of the Home. The boys’ basketball squad suffered a heavy loss from graduation, and will have quite a job of rebuilding, while the girls’ basketball squad is on the upswing and the outlook is much brighter this season for the girls. From the middle of December until the end of February, Tuesday and Friday nights will be bas- ketball nights, either on the campus or away, with the tournaments coming the first week in March. ‘BARIUM SPRINGS, FAMILY NIGHT BEGINS CHRISTMAS SEASON The big dining-room all aglow with candles and Christmas decorations is the setting for one of the loveliest of the events of the Christmas season. All the boys and girls of the Home gather with the workers and teachers as one big family. A fresh green Christmas tree unadorned stands in the center of the room, When the supper is fin- ished, during the singing of Christmas Carols, each person makes his way to the tree and there, making a gift to the big red stocking for someone else, takes a piece of ornament and decorates the tree. After this has been repeated several hundred times, the tree stands in full Christmas dress, and is ready for the lighting cere- mony. Someone chosen in ad- vance, the youngest member, the newest member, the oldest member, or some particular person—is asked to turn on the lights. As the tree becomes alive in the beauty of the candlelight, the family sings “Silent Night, Holy Night,” and the minister has the Christmas prayer. Thus the Christmas season begins with worship and sharing and car- ries through with all the ser- vices and joy of Christmas time. Sunday, December 22, will see the special Christmas ser- vices within the church. Christmas morning the bell will ring early and under the starlight of the early morn- ing, if the weather is clear, everyone will make his way to the church for a_ service of worship as the day begins. All gather in the big dining-room for a breakfast of cocoa, doughnuts, cereals, and fruits, and then to the Christmas tree where in each cottage stored under the trees the Christmas packages await the hands of the children. Santa Claus letters are al- Ways written early and al- Ways answered abundantly, and so the opening of pack- ages and the sharing of gifts in the cottages will then take most of the morning, together with the visiting to see what other cottages receive. At high noon, the whole family together with returning stu- dents and friends will gather for the Christmas dinner, eat- ing the home-made cakes which are brought in by friends of the Home for this occasion. The fun and fellow- ship, the prayer and worship, the giving and sharing, the putting together of the whole meaning of Christmas makes it a lovely season for the chil- dren in the big Home at Bari- um Springs.

We had a few girls on the Honor Roll, as follows: Betty Rutledge, Jane Webb, Sylvia Bush, and Phoebe Brumley. All of us will have to work harder and see if we can get more on the Honor Roll.

BOYS ATTEND THE SHRINE BOWL GAME Through the generosity of friends and under the leader- ship of Mr. Ralph A, Norcom of Charlotte, the boys of the Home were invited to attend the Shrine Bowl game _ in Charlotte. This annual occur- renee is one of the highlights of the Fall season. Loading in the big bus, the group rolled out early on Saturday morn- ing, arriving at the Stadium around ten o'clock in order to ect seating arrangements worked out. Then, prior to the vame, a lunch was distributed and all was set for the game. The thrilling pageantry of the occasion, the fine football, and the excellent sportsmanship, stirs the imagination of everyone who attends. Then; as the climaxing fea- ture of the day’s festivities, free supper was offered at the S & W Cafeteria. When a boy has the opportunity to pass down the chow line with no restrictions on his taking, you can be sure that his tray comes out the other end well loaded. And what finer chal- lenge is ever presented to a erowing boy than an oppor- tunity to conquer a tremend- ous meal. There was not a single loser in the crowd for every tray was left bare.
