Facts of Chambers' History
What do you think about the in-
tramural sports program at ACC . .?
Ray Cordon "I am from a college
town and I really believe that ACC
has one of the best sport programs I
have seen during the war. I do think
the different sports should be push-
ed more than they are."
Morris Scott: "I believe that more
spirit should be manifest in the in;
tramural sports. Why can't we have
tournaments between classes?"
Elois Williams: "ACC has a lot of
school spirit but class competition
would give us a greater interest in
our classes."
John Falkner: "We don't have
enough staff going on in the
sports I mean."
Lois Reynolds: "We just don't have
any intramural contest. I wish we
did."
Dave Hcarn: "It is good as for as
it goes but it doesn't go far. What
we have done is a preview to what
could be done."
Rose Petty: "What intramural pro-
gram?" Jimmie Smith: "' would like to
learn to play something besides bad-
minton. Maybe a good intramural
program would give me that oppor-
tunity." Upon completing work for her de-
gree in January Mrs. Hoyt Bailey
began teaching in Merkel High
School.

traveled to Brownwood last semes-

ton Plowboys and J. T. cleaned the
Wildcath' plow twice last week 31-
40 and 36-40. This makes the Yel-
low Jackets favored to take Dr.

man with ten points. Richard Dacus
fouled out in the third quarter but
managed to rack up nine points be-
fore his exit. Saturday Dacus hit
the hoop for 21 points and Brown

"I would like to write the word 'insure' over the
door of every cottage and upon the blotting book
of every pubile man because I am convinced that
for sacrifices which are inconceivably small fam-
ilies can be secured against catastrophes which
otherwise would smash them up forever.
"It is our duty to arrest the ghastly waste not
merely of human happiness but of national health
and strength which follows when through the
death of the breadwinner the frail boat in which
the fortunes of the family are embarked founders
and the women and children are left to struggle
helplessly on the dark waters of a friendless
world." Winston Churchill.

ACHS Elects Student
Council; Officers
Chosen Soon
BY WILNA MUNS
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Chambers who
have done much for the betterment
of Abilene Christian College are now
living across the street from Mac-
Donald Hall. Their recent donation
of $140000 proved their interest In
the development of ACC.
Mrs. Chambers born In Arkansas
started to school at the age of 4 and
with her brother and sister walked
two or three miles to school each
day. At the age of seven she with
her family moved to Hill County
Texas.
Mr. Chambers was born in Col-
lin County Texas near McKinney.
He went to school at Chambersville
and later attended business school
at Savoy.
Mr. and Mrs. Chambers were mar-
ried when she was 24 and he was
30 "which was considered young
then" she laughed. They lived in
Oklahoma first and then moved to
a ranch in Wickens County Texas.
They have one daughter Lorene
Chambers Bohammon now living on
a ranch in Midland County one
grandson Jerry who plans to attend
ACC next year.
Their daughter went to ACC when
it was on the old site. Mr. and Mrs.
Chambers first became interested in
ACC when they came to Abilene for
Lecture Week many years ago.
They have always lived on a farm
and are very enthusiastic about farm
work. Mr. Chambers was a noted
hog raiser. Mrs. Chambers tended
the chickens and managed the farm.
There were many times when they
paid the preacher with chickens or
other things they raised on the farm.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Chambers
agree that there has been a marked
change in ACC since they first
knew it and they are expecting a
much greater change in the future.
If I had had 40 boys I would have
tried to make preachers out of half
of them and farmers out of the rest"
Mrs. Chambers remarked.
The ACHS student council for the
second semester has been chosen
and will meet soon to elect officers.
New council representatives are:
Winston Brown and Louis Shelton
seniors; Robbie Robinson and Jody
Carter juniors; J. P. Freeman and
