Thus it was that Arkansas con tributed to P. C. history. Young McMillian enteri*d college in Clinton in 1915 and remained here until America entered the war two years later. At that time he left sc*hool and enlisted in the navy as an a|ypren- tice seaman. Before his discharge in 1919 he was appointed ensign in the U. S. navy reserves-^an appointment which testified to his efficiency and effectiveness in his w’ork. In the fall of 1919 Lonnie' returned to Preabyterian college to complete His work. By Christmas of his serior year he had earned all but one of the credits nei’essary for graduation. He therefore applied for the then vacant position of principal of the Renno 'chool, ir this countv, and won the ap pointment. He completed the year as a teacher, retufning at the end of each week to carry- on class-work at P. C., thus earning the necessary credit.

On May 28, 1864, Rev. William Plunier Jacobs, fresh frdm tbe stmii- nary, was ordained as the first pastor of the (,’linton church; and the report to presbytery at its fall meeting. Sept. 25, 1864, states that the church has a Sabbath school of 122 members, and that $185 was the sum contrib uted to that cause. The pastor, Mr. Jacobs, was the first superintendent of the new school, and he continued to serve in that capacity fpr many years. The following is a list of some of the earlier teachers in the Saibbath school: Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Bell, Mr. Hnd Mrs. N. A. Green, Miss Pattie Thomwell, primary'teacher, Mr. Sam uel West, Mrs. R. S.

Boozer, Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Young. The first anniversary celebration was held on May 9, 1868, which was tbe foui'th bipthday of the sc-hool; the one which we celebrate today is the 68th birthday. The following accou of the first anniversary is take rectly from the records: / “Today the 4th anniveriar>' of the Sabbath school was celelir^ied to the delight of ail ^he cjuildren.

It is al.so a tradition that in all the years from the first celetiration until today the weather has always been fine, no rain having fallen to dampen the ardor of the participants or to min the iie^v dresses and hats.
