True story. I decided to take my family to visit HAC last year. We made an outing of it with plans to spend time around the lake, picnic lunch, etc. We showed up in time for chapel only to discover that this particular day was split chapel...

Yep. Don't know what the girls did, but me and my 11 year and 4 year old sons laughed at all the guys falling asleep in the dining hall and then waking up to yell 'Amen'.  :D
 
Whe I look back at Split Chapel two stories stick out in my mind.  The first one had to do with flu shots.  Dean Meister ranted and raved for several minutes on why every college guy should get a flu shot.  He then dismissed all those who had gotten a shot.  He ranted and raved for a while longer and then dismissed those who were willing to get a shot.  There were nurses waiting outside the gym with shots.  Meister then began to rip on all the guys left in the gym.  He did everything to make them feel like total whimps. Some guys buckled and filtered out to the shot line.  Meister finally gave up and told the rest of the guys to leave.

The second story brings a smile to my face.  You probably remember the rule about a guy being required to stand when a gal was sitting down at the table.  There was some poor sap who must have had an issue with a gal and refused to stand when she came to the table.  Of course, some Hacker turned the guy in.  Meister said, "Where is Joe Blow?"  The kid raised his hand.  Meister said, "Stand up.  Sit down.  Stand up.  Sit down."  He made the kid do this for most of Split Chapel while he ripped on him.

Precious memories.

The lady students at HAC were not given as much freedom outside of HAC walls as the males.  This was part of protecting them.  I believe Dr. Hyles sometimes felt a bit sorry for them.  Periodically (maybe twice a year) Dr. Hyles would come to the college on an evening and spend a few hours with them.  He would buy pizza and soda for all of them.  They would go to the college chapel and sing and goof off.  Dr. Hyles would sometimes give them money to go shopping.  I believe for the most part the gals all enjoyed it.

*Maybe a couple of our female posters can add to this.

Meister being a Marine was using an old Drill Instructors punishment ploy. If a boot camp recruit messed up they'd give the command to get: on your belly---on your back---on your belly---on your back---on your belly---on your back---on your belly---on your back---on your belly---on your back, until the poor guy could hardly function.  ;)

I felt sorry for the guy, but I have to admit, it was difficult not to smile.

Real food that we didn't have to pay for!!!!!  Cheese quarter pounders, Shakey's pizza.....all without leaving campus!  To a very poor female college student who sometimes never left campus for 5 or 6 weeks (other than church and bus calling/soul winning), they were generally welcome breaks from routine, although I often had to go in after they started because I had work to complete.

I'm sure there were probably some gals who did not like the meetings, but I have never found one.

Face time with Grandpa.
A chance to feel human.
An opportunity to see which girls love the upper seat at feasts.
A new dress, in time for the big date....VDay Banquet.
If you are a guy, and you're nabbed for pizza handout duty, it's a good lesson on how to win your daughter's heart.

Maybe I'm not really a girl, then...are you saying that to win a girl's (or gal's, if you prefer) heart, you just have to splurge on her every once in a while? Then that will be enough to keep her eating out of your hand and serving you faithfully?

I remember one evening when Dr. Hyles had a meeting with the gals.  They would meet in the dining hall to eat.  After that, they would all follow Dr. Hyles down the hall toward the chapel.  I was with several guys and we decided to build a human pyramid and block the hall.  I believe Dennis Usher was with us.

We got on our hands and knees and stacked ourselves.  We heard the "herd" coming our way.  When Dr. Hyles saw us he stopped and got a big grin on his face.  He took off full speed toward us like a running back.  He leaped into the middle of the pyramid and leveled us.  We all piled on him.  I made sure to mess up his hair really good.

It was fun to see that side of him.

The Lake
Click to expand...
The frog-pond-like mini lake on HAC campus.
Usually surrounded by a mixed multitude of Domestic/Wild Geese.
1st Canoe ride, was on this 'lake'.
My favorite summertime event happens there...fireworks a week or 2 after the 4th.
Anyone here ever stay for the summer, and go to the picnic?

So many memories!
