was destroyed at least half a
dozen times that day.
I was blown to the moon by land
mines, I was blasted to bits by a
hidden nitro charge, I was roasted
to a crisp by Molotov cocktails, 7
was parted in the middle by direct
hit from a French IS, and they let
all the air out of me with countless
bullets.
All in all, it was quite day for a
peace loving citizen who is hardly
used to being destroyed at all
But that's what happens to you
when you get mixed up in the in
terminable war which RACES at Fort
Belvoir, Va. between the engineers
and the armored forces.
AS a soldier by suffrance at Fort
Belvoir, was ordered to work with
the engineers who were trying to
build obstacles so tough that the
tanks could not possibly get through.
Then, to test my handiwork, I
hoped in the tanks that tried to
break through. That's how I got
destroyed so often.
Tank Crews Tough Breed.
Tank crewmen are a different
breed Of men. First. they are all
crazy; second, they all have suicidal
tendencies, and third, they are all
firmly convinced that 1t Is utterly
impossible to destroy or stop the
particular tank they are driving.
Out of the thousands of men in
the armored forces. the Army picks
small detail of men in whom these
characteristics are most pronounced
and sends them to Fort Belvoir.
Their job is to smash down and
plow through all the obstacles which
the selectee- e-engineers at the post
are able to put up. The odds are
about even that on any stated as
sault upon the obstacles tank
driver will be pulled out in pieces.
How I happened to entrust my
tender form to this crew I will
never understand.
Before I started. a grim-visaged
sergeant approached.
You'll have to waive all claims
against the Government before you
get in there" he said. I should
have known then.
The kid who was driving the tank
this was one of the 13-ton light
jobs-looked harmless enough. He
had been a clerk before he went in
the Army and was just a little fell
low, with an engaging grin.
Tanks Rough in Air.

stepped down too hard the other

Paul Quinn College
Gets "a Class Rating

President j.. w. Yancy, II an
nounces that Paul Quinn College,
Waco, Texas has been given class
"a rating as a standard four
year college by the State Depart
ment of Education of Texas. Paul
Quinn is also recognized as a
standard four year college ly the
State Departments of Education
of the following states ,"...A rkan-
sas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Tennes--
see, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Louisiana, and Missouri,
This rating was given after the
visit of Mr.. E.. II. Hereford, Col
lege Examiner, State Department
Of Education, to the campus en-
February 2G, 1911. The estah-
l.shment of a Home Economics
Department was the last require
ment laid down by the State De-
p%artnlent of Education which the
college had to meet in order to
receive this rating.
This Department was installed
this year, and the dedication was
held February 26, l94l Making
his report to the State Board of
Examiners, March 7 Mr.. Hereford
stated, quote 81 recommend that
the provisional rating of this in
stitution be removed and that it
now be recognized as a senior
college of the first class for Ne
groes."
The long road to receiving "a
rating for this institution as a
four year standard college has
been accomplished.
This long and arduous task was
started by DR.. A. S. Jackson, VINO
was president of the college when
it started out to get recognition.
The death of DR.. John R. Haw-
kins, Financial Secretary of the
A.. NJ. E. Church caused DR.. Jack
son to go to Washington, D. C..
to fill the position of Financial
Secretary. Prof. j. W. Yancy, II
succeeded pr. jackson as presi-
dent of Paul Quinn College, and
he started out at once to meet TIE
final requests made by the State
Department of Education. Presi-
dent Yancy states that the next
goal of the college is to receive
recognition by the Southern Asso-
citation for accrediting colleges and
secondary schools, the highest re-
gional accrediting agency in this
section Of the country. This is
President Yancy's second year as
head of Paul Quinn.
This year, the college has one
of the largest enrollments in the
history Of the institution. From
| the number of applications which
have been received for the present
Summer School, indications are
that this session will be one OF
the best in many years.
Bishop G. B. Young is the
presiding prelate of the State of
Texas, which is known as the

also chancellor Of the college. 1t
