Trustworthiness. Noble Ideals.
Tact.
"The TNT Club was organized during
the fall quarter of 1933, the last year that Harding was at Morrilton. Carroll
Trent and Roy Ruckman took a lead in its organization. Walden Gardner, Gus
Meuli, and John Stewart were charter members. Officers for 1933-34 were
Roy Ruckman, President; Walden Gardner, Secretary/Treasurer; and Carroll
Trent, Reporter.
I was the first member inducted after
the move to Searcy and was inducted very early in the fall quarter, the
only one inducted at the time although several others were inducted later
in the quarter. The early induction was permissible because I had been a
student the previous year.
Dr. R.R. Coons, Chairman of the Department
of Physical Science, was the first sponsor and he served through the spring
of 1937 when he went with Bro. Batsel Baxter to Los Angeles to help start
Pepperdine College.
At Morilton, students would refer to
the club as the "Taint Nothin To Us" club, although the TNT meant
the same as it does today-Trustworthiness, Noble Ideals, and Tact.
The colors then were Royal Blue and Silver or White. I do not recall the
motif or insigna, but it definitely was not the stick of dynamite that
adorns pledges' heads in recent years.
The Club very quickly, within two or
three years, had developed into one of the outstanding men's club on campus."
--excerpts from a letter
written by Dr. Joseph E. Pryor
TNT has had many memorable leaders and sponsors, but no sponsor has given more than Dr. William W. Hollaway
