The dream To him is real; and things are as they seem, For beauty veils from him the feet of clay. How holy and how wonderful her trust— Youth’s friend and, yes, how blest. For down the west Each day shall go the sun, and time in time Shall die, the unborn shall again be dust; But she with youth eternal on her breast, Immortal, too, shall sit serene, sublime.

We are including, therefore, a few items concerning the faculty. Dunbar was happy to receive this year Mr. Albert De Mond, a teacher of the business course; Miss Carlotta Peters, teacher of history; and Miss Louise Denny, an English teacher. Mrs. Gladys W. Fairley and Mrs. Norma Bacchus have been trans- ferred from Dunbar to junior high schools. Mrs. Fairley is at Shaw Ju- nior High School teaching mathematics, while Mrs. Bacchus is at Francis Junior High School as an instructor of domestic science. The Krigwa Players of New York City presented our own Miss Mary Burrill’s play, “Aftermath,” in the Frolick Theatre on Broadway during the week of May 8, 1928. This drama was entered among the Belasco cycle of folk plays in competition for the Belasco cup. In February Miss Julia Brooks and Miss Lydia Brown attended the National Education Association in Boston. The National Conference on Character Education in Schools was at- tended by Miss Charlotte Atwood in New York City. Mr. Neval H. Thomas, Mr. Joseph N. Hill, Mr. James Carter, Miss Sadie I. Daniel, and Miss Bertha I. McNeill attended a dinner given March 1, 1928, for Mr. Oswald G. Villard, in honor of the tenth anniversary of his editorship of the “Nation.” The delegates from Dunbar to the convention of the Columbia Scholas- tic Press Association in New York City were accompanied by Miss Bertha MeNeéeill. Mr. Henry Grant, under the supervision of the Washington Post, has organized free music lessons for all school children who have not had mu- sic before.

CLARISSA SCOTT DELANEY We, the class of nineteen twenty-eight, dedicate to the late Mrs. Delaney, for- merly Miss Clarissa Scott, a member of our faculty, this space to show our undying memory of her. Those who came in contact with her will recall her willingness to cooperate with the students in making Dunbar a model school. Written indelibly on our minds and hearts is the record of our own teacher, who achieved what few other women in their youth achieved, that is “complete success.” HARRIETTE ELIZABETH MOSS In remembrance we dedicate this space to our dear friend and classmate, Harriette Elizabeth Moss. A jolly, ambitious pupil, and an honest and sincere friend, she will always be remembered and endeared in the hearts of the members of her class. EFFIE GLADYS MICKENS Like a flower that was plucked all too soon was the life of Effie Mickens, a mem- ber of the graduating class of ’28, whose early deat h ended a career that was just beginning. Because of her many lovable traits she will be greatly missed by her class- mates and friends. Dear Effie, you have gone from us; but we, the members of your class, shall always think of you as a flower that has faded all too soon. | § ICT a ASASASNEACAEAEASNN ES ANSASASASASACASAEACASACACAUASREANERERENERENSNSRSNEAGENS Lave Seamer (TEE 0.

Henry, frestiney Poasemraany ess Weegee =? (With apologies to Lowell) Seated one day at my window I was worried and ill at ease, I could find nothing to suit me, I could find nothing to please But while I was meditating Upon my sad fate that June day, A cloud clearer than a crystal Arose and came floating my way. Ard from it came trooping gayly, My schoolmates of high school days old, And at my stare of amazement Broke into laughs merry and bold. They had come to quell sorrow And many dear tales there were told, And those sweet reminiscences The following pages unfold. L So rT LL ES oe Bars at Dunbar —=RESSED in a stiffly-starched white middy suit, Anna, aged fourteen, ran down stairs, kissed her mother good-bye, and hurried out to Garnet School where she met the other girls and boys of her grammar school class. There were the bright happy faces of Louise, of Jane, and of many others which not even the cloudy °| weather could change. Anna was quite nervous and lonely for her mother, yet she dared not let Louise know it—no, not Louise who looked so calm and determined—nor even Jane who, aroused by her natural curiosity, had looked forward for a long time to her first day at Dunbar. Being ashamed of her timidity, Anna resolved to be brave and strong. On the way to Dunbar Anna was silent and wondering while the others were discussing vacation memories. She dared not imagine what Dunbar would be like; she only hoped she would like it, for much had she heard of hard teachers, difficult subjects, and unrelenting upper classmen. While she was drawing her mental picture, old Dunbar itself came into view. How different it looked from Garnet! How large and stern looking it appeared! Her terror, accompanied by her longing for mother, increased as she mounted the steps leading to the main entrance. On being shown to the assembly hall, Anna was indeed glad to see groups of boys and girls similar to her own companions. But then a bell sounded. Footsteps were heard in the balcony above and Anna looked back to see many dignified boys and girls hurrying on their way. Some of them ignored her insignificant little group altogether, but others stared at them in such a peculiar way that Anna could not quite interpret their motive. At most, she imagined that they were amused at the sight of more “peanies.” Anna became uncomfortable and felt so very small. Then a woman’s voice was heard in front, and Anna turned to see Miss Brooks (as she introduced herself) smiling gently at the assembled children. “Well, somebody cares about us,” she thought, as her fear was displaced by confidence. Miss Brooks in time introduced some kind, sweet- h—4 _——$—$———S— Pan OZONE ZZ 4 NSNSASNSASACASASASASASASASASASASASAEASASNSNSANSUOASNSNSNSNENST SNC NSTONSNENNGIN looking girls who she said were to be their big sisters. For the first time Anna was at ease. This feeling of ease, however, did not last long, for soon Anna found that the fact that she was taking Latin had wrenched her from both Louise and Jane. Tears came to her eyes as with a faint good-bye she left her chums, but she refrained from crying. She fully realized that she was no longer a child to hide her troubles in her mother’s bosom and cry her cares away, but now a real high school student, a student of Dunbar with an intelligent countenance and many large new books. That first day at Dunbar was a hectic one. Among Anna’s many difficulties the finding of her way from Room 108 to Room 79 was the most trying. Too independent to inquire of some passer-by, she wandered up stairs and down, from one end of the building to the other and retraced her steps many times until, by chance, she met a girl who had graduated from her former Alma Mater several years before. Putting her pride aside, she gladly accepted directions to Room 79 and arrived only to find the last bell had rung and the class was leaving the room. Colored by such experiences, the days of September wore into October and found Anna becoming used to Dunbar. With the organization of the Freshman Girls’ Club, Anna began to feel that she was really an important factor in Dunbar. The election of Edna Burke, Elise Fletcher, and Artenia Gibson as president, vice-presi- dent, and secretary, respectively, proved not only interesting for the moment but also a good selection of officers, for in October of that year Anna was able to see her own club, under the guidance of Miss Brooks, present for the approval of the freshman and sophomore classes, the play “The Three Speech Sisters.” This little play won distinction and notice for Anna’s proud little club. Anna’s interest in indoor sports was now absorbed by the gridiron activities which consumed the latter part of October and November. She, along with the entire student body of Dunbar, enjoyed a full season of well-played games terminated by Dunbar’s victory over her old rival, Armstrong. After the Thanksgiving holidays Anna settled down to hard study which, broken only occasionally by musicales and assemblies, was climaxed by the hope of a visit from St. Nicholas. Christmas brought many un- familiar practices into Anna’s life. But these she readily found interest in and enjoyed, especially the Christmas Post Office, for it thrilled her a great deal to receive mail from her classmates. She even heard whispers of the Fleur-de-lis reception and longed to attend it when she became a senior. On returning from the holidays Anna found herself preparing for semester exams, because already she was an aspirant for the Honor Roll. While thus absorbed, she noticed that the Players’ Guild was preparing to present a night and matinee performance of “Quality Street.” Several freshmen were asked to take part in the play and Anna again felt very proud of her class. The Observer, the voice of Dunbar, was now a prospering school periodical and Anna heard talk of the Scholastic Press Convention which was to meet in New York some time in May. She was glad to know that Dunbar would be represented there. But this delight was overshadowed PSS OSG TTT IZZY VOLOLDOLLLOLOLOLOLOLLDLLLLLOLLLLLLOLLL LORE 8 re TO Wis and pennants were everywhere, by the drill. School bands, arm bands, DERGRHIreL for tomorrow was drill day. Who would win the drill? urse. Aen . Se ire enjoyed the drill and the calm that followed in its wake, during which preparations for graduation and the coming vacation were evident. Soon vacation actually began. ; | In September Anna came back to school and, while observing that Dunbar was thriving without the all-important graduated class, noted that another senior class had taken its place. She saw more “peanies” and now that she had acquired the name of sophomore she was filled with dignity. The clamor of her reclassification lasted through November, almost over- shadowing the football games. December, even though it brought the Christmas activities and also the play, “The Bird’s Christmas Carol,” aroused but little interest. After the holidays the basketball team began practice and a full schedule was announced. Anna noticed that the team’s work was even better than that of the year before.. As spring ripened into summer, basketball became a thing of the past, while track events and swimming meets assumed a place of notice. Especially was this so of the girls’ meet, because Anna’s class won the championship cup through the various feats in which Hazel Frye surpassed Alma Gibson, the former champion. The winning of this championship cup brought victory to the sophomore class and put it on a high pedestal where its debating team, composed of Edna Burke, Elise Fletcher, Dorothy Henry, and Artenia Gibson helped keep it. Not only did the sophomore team defeat the seniors and win the school championship, but also through the remarkable oratory of Edna Burke, they won the cup for the best individual speaker. With the class piloted by Edna Burke, president; Rosetta Berry, vice- president; Elsie Johnson, secretary, and Juliet Grigsby, treasurer, Anna completed a successful and glorious sophomore year and turned to vaca- tional pleasure, bearing along with her classmates the laurels of two de- cisive victories and many minor ones. September’s warm sun found Anna an ambitious junior. Now her classmates were even members of the Observer staff. She saw juniors working with the football squad and, in fact, in every important field of Dunbar life an aspiring junior was seen. “What would Dunbar do without the juniors?” she thought when at the football assembly the superior work ot Stokes as a substitute was mentioned by Beckwith, a senior and regular player. Anna’s pride grew into conceit when she observed the various “non- coms” (juniors, of course) moving about the building in their militaristic manner. But her conceit became intolerable when her class retained the swimming championship, Haze] Frye again representing the class. The senior class became of absolutely no importance when in track the laurels of victory were brought home to the juniors by Milton Larry, but did not fade away entirely until Anna heard of Syphax’s, Sewell’s, Berry’s and Jack con’s accomplishments at basketball. With the May induction into the Honor Society, Anna w see the juniors hold their own scholastically, as wel as in Schone too, she noticed the juniors were not slack in social functions by the fact — y $ ——————————————_, TT LOSS OPPFFFPPFETET 81 8 COPPPEPITPNTIN G5 So � ee C Scesseiteeennsemstiaeeceenneee — LZ qn that they gave the seniors the usual prom for which the president, Edna Burke, received many compliments. Anna also found the juniors taking a prominent part in the operetta, “In Arcady,” with Emmett Morse and Bernice Bland holding the class banners high through their vocal talent. The Student Council made a successful attempt to back the operetta and much credit for its success was attributed to Charles Weir, a junior, Vice-president of the organi- zation. That juniors held their own in debating, Anna could not help notice, when the junior class team composed of Edna Burke, Thelma Burt, and Marion Jackson won the championship and Marion Jackson won the prize for the best individual speech. The debates, the drill and assisting with graduation caused every junior to welcome a vacation. The senior year found Anna a nonchalant senior. Now her class was the very prop and stay of Dunbar, for every important club and activity welcomed the dignified seniors and many depended on them for their very existence. This made Anna feel quite important and more and more indifferent every day. Often she found herself in the library or in Miss Brook’s office during the noonday assembly period and once in a while she even forgot to go to section in the morning. Days unheeded drifted into months as time rolled by, carrying such beloved activities as had gone on during the past three years of Anna’s stay at Dunbar. Now, nothing could draw Anna’s attention from thoughts of graduation as she proudly looked forward to that time when, with her fellow classmates, she would fondly sing, “God bless thee, dear Dunbar.” So passed the senior year, bringing in its wake the sole ambition of Anna’s high school career—Graduation. iy, Z B S 3 3 3 3 B B oY, g Z zy g yy, ARTENIA GIBSON. NARADA AADADADADADDUADAD OAL Se RS a Oe Wis preci db eet The Hall of Fame Rosetta Berry, C-8. Rosetta might be very small but she has with that smallness much executive ability. This fact was shown when we elected her vice-president of cur freshman class and gave her back that office in our sophomore year. She has demonstrated her scholastic ability by remaining on the General Honor Roll for seven of her eight semesters here. She is president of the senior girls’ organization, the Fleur-de-lis Club and was vice-president of the Honor Society from September to February. She is also a poet, several of her poems having been published in the school paper, the “Observer,” of which she is the Exchange Editor. We expect great things from Rosetta in the future. Edna Burke, B-8. Edna is the most popular young lady in our class, We recog- nized her as a person of marked ability when we elected her as the president of our class three whole years. She was our freshman, sophomore and junior class head. She is a student of high scholastic standing, having been on the General Honor Roll for all eight semesters. In her sophomore year she entered the Debating Society and made the class team. She received the Lochard Debating Trophy for being the best individual debater of the year, and is now the president of the Debating Society, an erganization of which she has been the president for two years. She is also the cap- tain of one of our varsity debating teams. Edna is also the Editor-in-Chief of our school paper, the “Observer.” That she has dramatic ability was shown by the fact that when a crisis arose at the production of the Latin play she was called upon to save the situation and did so admirably by taking the part of the leading character who was ill. ‘Although she holds many offices, she says that being a member of the Honor Society is more important to her than anything else. Benjamin Henley, A-8. Benjamin is one of our outstanding scholars. He has been on the General Honor Roll ever since his freshman year. When he was taken into the Honor Society, he was elected president of the body by its members. That which makes him so popular, however, is the fact that he is Captain of Company F, of the Twenty-fourth Regiment of High School Cadets. Benjamin can be seen at any time of the day strutting around the corridors in his uniform, His popularity does not seem to detract from his scholastic standing, and he was one of the few of our class who dared to study Virgil. He is as good in Latin as he is in military tactics. In fact, he stands at the top all the time. Marion Jackson, C-8. Marion is such a hard working young miss that we elected her “head” of our Year Book staff. She has worked diligently on this book ever since she assumed her post. She is also a “mainstay” of the “Observer” and frequently stays after school until five o’clock to help correct the news or fix the “dummy.” Marion won in her senior year the prize book awarded to the best individual debater of the year. She is a member of one of the varsity debating teams and is the secre- tary of the Debating Society. She has a fine scholastic standing and is another of those persons who belong to the Honor Society. Marion’s dramatic ability can be ATT PPT 22016 SSO RPPPRTERTD 1 OPP oS C= f seen when you learn that she helped with our spring play, “The Blue Bird.” We are proud to say that she is one of us, Burke Syphax, A-8. Burke, or “Mickey” mel of our class. Wherever he is, there will be found a group of the fairer sex. Mickey, however, does not let the admiration of his fair followers take him away from his work. He is a member of the Honor Society and has an excellent record. He is also Captain of Company A and his company has won both the squad and platoon com- petitions of the year. as he is known to us, is the Beau Brum- Mickey is one of our great athletes, and stars especially in basketball, in which he was the high point scorer of the season. His tennis ability has been shown by the fact that he was elected captain of the Tennis Team. He has much executive ability and is quite as popular with the boys as he is with the girls. Mickey personated Father Time in our play, “The Blue Bird,” and made quite a success of his part. The college that receives him is getting quite a “shark.” ; Charles Weir, A-8. Charles, or “Charley,” has a very high rank in our cadet corps where he is our commanding captain. He is also a member of the Honor Society. He is the young man who gave us quite a surprise at the beginning of our senior year by accepting a young lady’s Fleur-de-lis pin, and by giving His Rex pin to that young lady. Up until that time he had maintained that he was a “woman-hater.” Charley is one of our workers on the Year Book staff and the “Observer” staff. He, with Ben- jamin Henley, originated the column, “Inside Views,” which appears in the “Observer.” He is noted for his humor, and when he is around there is no time for sadness. Charley is especially noted for his proficiency in the classical language, Latin. He is another who dared to rush where angels fear to tread, for he entered the Virgil Class.

He is hardly able to comprehend the fact that such an apparently large space is inside the school. He next sees the gun racks and strangely feels that the rifles will be used to destroy him. Instead, however, of being violently expelled from the armory or rolled around it in an ash can (as he was told he would be), he is tolerated and even assisted in his difficulties by some of the upper classmen, who, moving about so serenely unconscious of the complexity of the situation which confronts the little freshman, seem perched on un- attainable heights. For the zealous cadet, the armory is primarily a drill-ground in which twice a week he glories in the clamor caused by the snapping commands of the officers, corrections and cautions of “non-coms,” the handling of rifles, and rhythmic martial tread of the military contingents. At the recess periods the armory is a rendezvous for little social groups, which, alternately gossiping and talking about such of their school- mates as are not present, happily pass the time. The woman-haters, man- haters, and bashful ones are left to themselves and stand off to one side casting gloom about them, while others, filled to overflowing with the zest of life, chase each other around until they fall afoul of Mr. Saunders, when strangely enough all their vim disappears. Incidentally, at the recess hours, exceptionally fine lectures may be heard in the armory on the inadvisability of taking two lunch periods. The hard, smooth floor of the armory is, of course, well adapted for dancing; and, hardly recognizable in a garb of beautiful and artistically draped decorations, this room is the scene of numerous social functions throughout the year. At the Fleur-de-lis, Rex, Cadet, and other receptions, the socially inclined of Dunbar sway to the melodious syncopation of the orchestra. Over the same floor upon which the companies tramp so heavily, the couples lightly glide, the very embodiment of grace. The members of the fair sex are attired in simple but exceedingly beautiful evening frocks, and the young men appear neatly dressed in civilian clothes, or, if the occasion is a military one, resplendent in brass-buttoned uniforms and insignia of rank. As the officers who exemplify the efficiency of the regiment and upon whom its responsibility rests move through the crowd, the eye catches the steely glitter of their sabre chains and the gleam of the polished brass on their Sam Browne belts. The atmosphere is that of a court ball, where the fairest ladies, skillful diplomats, and highest ranking soldiers gather. These are but few fond memories of our armory. MILTON QUANDER.

Dean Lucy Slowe, at the invitation of the Scholarship Committee of the College Alumnae Club, urged the girls of Armstrong and Dunbar High Schools to go to college, thereby preparing themselves fo r the many fields of activity that await them as their life work. Miss Fledderus and Miss Van Kleek, accompanied by Mrs, Harriet Shadd Butcher, a former Dunbar teacher, brought to the students messages of good will, which, judging from the applause, were heartily received. The Reverend Mr. Walter H. Brooks, who personally knew Frederick Douglass, pointed to him as having a reputation for honor which every Negro youth should strive to attain. Speaking during Negro History Week, Mr. Gough McDaniels declared, “Co-operation is what the Negro race needs, such as is used to great ad- vantage in Chicago and Baltimore.” Mrs. Terrell, upon the occasion of the Honor Society induction, paid tribute to Paul Laurence Dunbar. Her remarks were based on personal recollections. Dr. John Randall expressed his belief that unless we find our way in unity, co-operation, fellowship, and understanding, the future of humanity and civilization is indeed dark. Professor Wright, in urging us to attain our fullest development, said, “Man must be given a longer period of time than the lower animals to reach maturity and take his place in life, because life holds for him something so much finer.” With Professor Wright, the Lincoln University Quartette also ap- peared. Four selections: “Mammy’s Baby Boy,” “The Battle of Jericho,” “Just Breezing Along With the Breeze,” and “Sleep Kentucky Babe,” were sung by them much to the delight of the students. Mr. Ruhi Afnan, coming all the way from Palestine, stressed the fact ef VOU DLO DLO OL LL 5 that the most distant points of the world have now been united by the r f the air and sea. : Se conerall the visitors were impressed by the splendid character of 7 ts. We hope if they return, they will find the Dunbar- ee SOE Cate character and striving for those high ideals which are held before them. As They Appear Our Best Scholars Our Prettiest Girl ...

On entering Hecht’s Depart- ment Store they passed through the sport section. There they Saw some very interesting articles which reminded them of their classmates. The first thing that attracted their attention was a re megaphone. This reminded them of Edith Parker, who has a very high voice, so they bought it. Then they went into the book depart- ment where they purchased four books: one a book of Demosthenes’ ora- tions for Edna Burke; another entitled “Grace,” by Arthur Rore for Henley; still another, “Various Walks,” for Rosetta Berry, and lastly “How to Shrink,” for Marie Clark. Next they entered the toy section. Here they bought a little flute to bring pleasant memories to Helen Scurlock and a jumping jack to be an example for Hildred in her physical training work. From the toy section they went into the notion department where they found some reducing powder for Louis Stokes, a vanity case for Elise, a comb for Weir to use on his Paderewski locks, and a half a dozen boxes of shoe polish for Mildred’s shoes. After making these purchases they left Hecht’s and entered a deli- catessen store not far away. It was here they bought a cake of yeast to make the Branche twins rise and a lemon to make Sarah Branson’s smiling face sour for once. With these purchases in hand which they thought would please their classmates, they returned to distribute their wares.

The bell rang at five minutes of nine and woke me up. | The assembly hall was thronged with excited children. What ,| could have been the matter? Some of the old pupils came along ) and told me that it was the twenty-first of September and the first | day of school. Could that be true? It seemed that it was only the night before that I had gone to sleep after the close of the summer schoo] session. Many new pupils were entering Dunbar for the first time. Most of the new pupils seemed very timid, but as I see them now since they have been in Dunbar a whole year, I find it hard to believe that they are the same students. September was spent in getting ac- quainted, and nothing of importance happened. With the coming of October I was greatly disturbed. In the first place, I heard the boys arguing about the results of the military examina- tion which were announced on the thirteenth, of all days! Luckily for them this thirteenth came on Thursday. On the 27th, a special assembly for girls was held. At this time I heard a very inspiring talk by Dr. Anna J. Cooper on “Social Service as a Life Work.” The week of October 31st to November 5th, interested me very much. It seemed that the Biological classes were celebrating “Apple Week” by presenting slides and talks on the apple to the student body. From November 7th to 14th, Educational Week was celebrated. I sent through the ordeal of having my face scrutinized by perfect strang- ers to see if I were not fast. That was almost more than I could bear, for | always pride myself on keeping the correct time. What was that I heard? Oh, the Athletic Association was to give a luncheon the day before school closed for the Thanksgiving Holidays. I wished that I could have gone because I heard that so many good things were going to be sold. On the tenth of the month I noticed an unusual commotion in the halls. I knew that there was to be an assembly of some sort. I looked at the stage and saw the emblem of the Honor Society resting on the right hand side. I hoped that there was to be an induction, for I am always impressed by the solemnity of such an occasion. It was an induction! The princi- pal speaker was Dr. John Haynes Holmes of the Community Church in New York City. December was a quiet month even though it was the month for Christmas. I received quite a thrill on December 5th. Miss M. L. Fled- cerus from Holland came here and addressed the students. During the week before Christmas, I saw boys and girls running around with green and red bands on their arms. Judging by the announcements in the assemblies the Christmas Post Office was again at work. Above the noise fiom the post-office I heard many excited whispers among the girls. All I could understand was, “What are you going to wear?” “Who is going to bring you?” Some kind young man relieved my curiosity by making some remark about the Fleur-de-lis reception which was to be given on the 27th. = eae PEPPY The holidays passed so quickly that I hardly had time to catch a wink of sleep. With the coming of the New Year, the school seemed busier than ever. On the 12th of January I saw the seniors come off victorious in the Junior-Senior Debate carried over from last year. After this there was a lull until the February graduates began practicing for class night and graduation which were held on the 26th and 30th, respectively. February brought a new term and more timid freshmen. They soon adjusted themselves, and by the fifth the work was running smoothly. The week from the fifth to the eleventh was Negro History Week. During this week I learned of the progress that the Negro has made since his emanci- pation. The Rev. Mr. Walter H. Brooks came to us on the 14th and gave a wonderful talk about his acquaintance with Frederick Douglass. The regular program for February 17th was interrupted so that the upper classmen could hear the concert for school children broadcast by Mr, Walter Damrosch. On the 20th, Dr. Herbert Randall addressed the pupils on World Unity. The evening of the 21st found me in Rome and Carthage, where I spent a delightful “Evening with Virgil,” under the guidance of the Latin Club. Hooray! On the 24th, there was another Honor Society induction celebrating Dunbar Day. At this induction Mrs. Mary Church Terrell spoke on Paul Laurence Dunbar as she knew him. March passed with few interruptions. Every Wednesday morning the upper classmen entertained us with their choral singing. Professor W. L. Wright presented the Quartette from Lincoln University to an as- assembly on March 15th. Our own Mr. Joseph Hill, an alumnus of Lincoln, was responsible for this treat. Just before the Easter holidays I noticed that there was a great stir among the business students. I soon learned that the Business Department was to present a play, ‘Diogenes Looks for a Secretary,” on April 4th. School closed for the holidays on April 5th, but these holidays meant no rest for me at all. My dreams were disturbed by the music at the Alumni reception on the night of the eleventh. That night I was not completely out of affairs, for a program was given in the assembly hall. Later in the week, on Friday, I was again disturbed by the music from the Rex Club’s reception. May brought the presentation of the spring play, “The Bluebird.” To my great disappointment it was given at Armstrong and all I knew about it, I gained from the talk of the dramatic students. Judging from the cheerful preparations, “The Bluebird” brought much happiness. With the coming of June, I began to look forward to the closing of school. Every day the seniors assembled to learn their class song and to prepare for class night. When that night finally arrived, the assembly hal l was filled with a bevy of girls in such gay colored dresses that it was hard to tell who had the prettiest. I am sorry that the graduation exer- cises were not held here, but I find consolation in the fact that I see the midyear graduation every year. The last day of school finally arrived, and after many sad farewells had been interchanged, the doors were closed until the summer session. Well, I might as well grab a little sleep while I can. Good-night! As related by the Assembly Clock to HELEN SCURLOCK —, SS. eS, PZ eS SSS y ic SS eS PF SNC TOZZI ZZc FN ee ) 2. FFP RPPFPED 1 CTEFYPPOFPETEN C720 1( (gh GSO erTRPOYYYYYOT | OVI OFPPPFPPOFFFIN| GSO CS ' Class Prophecy —+]HILE I WAS SOLILOQUIZING one snowy day, before the fire- W })) place, pleasantly recalling the past years in Dunbar and wonder- ‘| ing of the future, there stepped out of the flames an old man. I was so startled by his appearance that he quickly assured me that he meant no harm. He represented, he said, Time that would elapse between 1928 and 1940, and had come from the Halls of Eternity on a special errand. , i “You bavevbesa thinking of your classmates,” he said. Well, V’ll show you what will happen to them between now and 1940.” Suddenly there appeared in the midst of the flames a crimson crystal ball, and this is what Time showed me. . hat. seemed to be Chicago a real There first appeared in the ball in what estate office on the outside of which was the sign, “R. Hyson and R. Harvey and Company, Real Estate Dealers.” A fine establishment it was I must admit. . : This scene changed to that of a charming shop displaying all the latest styles in women’s apparel. I read on the window this—‘“Eleanor Allen, Modiste.” Soon I was looking inside of the shop, and whom should I see there but Doris Wilkinson in the most gorgeous wedding gown imaginable! Time said that Doris’ wedding was near, and Mlle. Allen was preparing the gown. Doris had come to the shop for a fitting. ‘A leaping flame covered the ball and when it died down again lo! there was a large red building. Passing in front of it were Geraldine Brown, Marie Williams, and Dorothy Barnett. I heard Geraldine say, “This certainly is a fine building which Edwina Ridgeley has established for her social service work. Dorothy, you are such a wonderful welfare worker, I am sure she’d love to have you. Marie and I were engaged yesterday, but Edwina is still in need of more assistants.” “I think I’ll ask for a position,” said Dorothy. The three then went into the building. Next I saw the cozy living room of a comfortable home. Seated in a lounging chair, smoking and reading was Karl Phillips. On the floor were two small children, and seated near a table, sewing, was his wife. Oh! a flame flickered up and wiped out this. : In its place there appeared a theatre in Kansas City. Over the en- trance of it, in large lighted letters was written: “Daniels and His Jolly Bunch.” The stage was shown me, and whom should I see entering, but Grafton Daniels! Evidently, he was the “Daniels.” s This scene soon faded and next I saw the dear, familiar i Street. where Dunbar High School is. It was with great Seer th ane asked Time for a peep inside. What I saw there was indeed a revelation for there were Rosetta Berry, teaching studiology; Elsie Johnson. radio announcing; Mildred Jackson, a science in which the pupils were per- fecting an experiment; Phyllis Williams, vampism for reducing without dieting; and Louise Alexander a new course known as sillygisms. At the command of Time, I was now transported to the Physical Wa Se Ca TINTRTOTOD 1 A CPPFPPTRPPFPON CZ 1( (9): GSO FRPOFFYOPFYTIT (INN CPFFFEPOTFVTTFY GSO SC Education Department of Howard University where Miriam Betz was an instructor. Next I was shown the classrooms. There were Benjamin Henley, professor of French; Lincoln Hawkins, professor of English, and Bettie Taylor, professor of Mathematics. Time said that Milton Larry was a Physical Education instructor for men and that Captain Edgar Watson had charge of the R.O.T.C. Again I looked into the ball and behold! who was the very studious- looking person I saw walking slowly, wearing rimmed glasses, and holding a book right up to his nose? No, it could not be Emmett Morse, and yet, it certainly was he! Time laughed when he saw the expression of in- credulity on my face and said: “Morse has just compiled a new dictionary of sixteen volumes and has presented to the world a group of new words that from now on will be used in connection with Eschatology, the doctrine of the last or final things, and the hexachordal system of music.” Then I understood why Emmett would use such big words when reporting on current topics in history seven. Flames flickered around the crystal ball. Then I saw the National Life Insurance Company in’ Washington, D.C., with Melvin Barker as president and Florence Richter as his secretary. This scene faded away, and in its place there appeared the Corcoran Gallery of Art. There was another annex being built. Puzzled, I asked Time why this was so. He answered, “There is much that puzzles you now. Only look and you will learn the cause.” ile he was talking, Flossie Sinclair and Alexina Todd had come on the scene, and had stopped near the building. I heard Alexina say, “This will certainly be a fine annex. It is for all the wonderful paintings of the two great artists, Edward Martin and Philip Waring.” “People say that they are wonders. All the United States is marveling at their paintings,” replied Flossie. A many-colored flame flickered over the ball and in place of this scene, there was the interior of the House of Representatives. Whom should I see there on the floor delivering a two-hour speech on the necessity of a new home for blind mice and sick cats but Nunley Keets, who had been chosen in the recent election as a representative of the District of Columbia. Looking over the assembly, I saw Representatives Marsutus Smith and Burke Syphax both filibustering on the subject of an easy death for dying cats. What marvelous changes had taken place! Next I saw the Senate and there was William Tinney debating. I was overwhelmed! Time told me that more wonders were yet to be unfolded and that I must control myself. : There in the crystal ball was a beautiful white building. As I looked inside I found that it was a Red Cross building. Frankie Brown was the new Head Nurse. Women in Red Cross uniforms were moving quietly about. Here I saw some familiar faces—those of Clara Chase, Vernia Williams, Helen Whittaker, and Aralessa Woolfolk. As the Head Nurse passed Clara, I heard the latter say to Vernia who was new also, “Isn’t it sad about our new head? And she takes it so hard too. What, haven’t you heard? Why, the ‘head’s’ husband, Lieutenant A——,” (Oh, the flames roared so, that I could not hear the name.) “was mortally wounded in the recent war against bobbed hair and short skirts, and just before he died, he told her that it was his desire that she become a Red Cross nurse, so here she is.” oie A ‘ Quickly the flame wiped out this picture and there I saw Fisk Uni- SSS THPEIPETPEIOPEYD 90 0 t ERPEERYERWORTETIVOT S 720 G OTIPITTITIT FOE TIOEIER � 90) OPPPPPIPEPEYT ©: ff fp ppepepepepepefsfafefepefafefefafafafafapsfafaspefafefe sfafepafefasey an instructor of Physical Education, there; f Latin; Elaine Plummer, was a teacher of + of Journalism.

Evidently this was her b the hee eu aeaue ball, In a second, I saw the office of Dr. Edna Willis- ton. There in conference with her were Doctors George Jackson and aye ea ateriged at this that for a second I closed my eyes. When I opened them, what did I see but the interior of a theatre where the play, “The Beggar and the King,” was being presented; and, well, Willard Phillips was the beggar! I heard her cry, “Bread, bread. Give me some bread!” Oh, why wouldn’t somebody give her some to make her stop hol- ne ae ee really a wonderful old man, for what a relief it was when he showed me, next, a large building in Sierra Leone, Africa! It was a high school and Edna Elliott was the principal. I saw her talking to Rey- erend Boynton Milton who had recently come e Africa to take the pastor- ship of a church there. He looked very clerical. _ Gradually this picture changed. In the crystal ball was the Welch Memorial Hospital, founded by Dr. Linwood Welch and his two brothers, in West Virginia. I saw a beautiful house not far from the hospital. “Soon,” said Time, “Dr. Welch will bring his bride to occupy that house.” I told him that I could imagine who she would be. ; Freedmen’s Hospital then appeared in the ball. Grayson McGuire was head physician. These were some of the nurses: Anna Wood, Rose Grice, Elsie Jones, and Esther Jones. : 3 Flames leaped over the ball and when it was revealed again, there, in it was a group of chorus dancers in whose midst were Zaidee Hill, Gladys Lewis, and Lucy Mason. But when I saw the leader of the chorus my eyes widened, for he was Leslie Coates! 2 This scene changed and there, in the ball, appeared a section of Wal l Street in New York. On the exterior of a large broker’s office was the sign, “Rayfield Carey and Company, Brokers.” I soon saw the interior of the office. On one door appeared, “Julia Young, Executive Secretary,” and on another, “Ray Dixon, Assistant Manager.” When this picture faded away the many-tongued flames licked, flick- ered, and roared around the crystal ball. I thought then that no more scenes were to be shown me, and evidently an expression of disappointment was on my face, for old man Time then told me these things: “Bernice Smith has been playing some of her own compositions over the radio; Hazel Ogle has become an agent for ‘The Housewife’s Cook Book’; Weir and Lloyd have become the best engineers of the race; Henry Mathews is prac- ticing law; Dorothy Henry and Juliette Grigsby have established a wom- en’s and children’s clothing shop in New York. Hazel Frye, refusing to let aviation get the better of swimming, has tried to swim the Atlantic 7 OZ ST Ocean, but has not been able to do so, Nevertheless, she will make an- other attempt.” Continuing, the old man said this: Louis Stokes is a model for men’s clothing in a French modiste shop owned by Mattie Johnson. Evelyn Brown writes features for the funny paper. Bernice Bland is a vocal instructor in the deaf and dumb sani- tarium established by Theodore Jackson. Frank Davis is a famous avia- tor, and on some of his flights, the renowned aviatrix, Henrietta Grant has accompanied him. Mary Jackson has been spending three years at Nice with her husband, and is quite a lady of leisure. And John Harris has become a hermit. He lives in a small cave in the wilds of the Rocky Mountains and is making a special study of psychology.” “But what will become of the others?” I asked. “All will be happy and successful,” the old man said. “I can not show you now what they will do, because I must return to the Halls of Eternity.” Then he quickly stepped back into the fire, and as the hungry flames licked around him, and he gradually disappeared with his crystal ball, I heard him send this last message: “Tell the members of the class of 1928 that they have all their lives be- fore them, to do with as they please. Some will accomplish much, some will accomplish little. Each must do his part. But let no one at the end of his time on earth come to us in the Halls of Eternity, with no work done at all, with no contribution having been made to the world.” As a last word to me, he said: “Some day it will please you to have remembered these things.” Then, he was gone!

The children ran when they had to pass it. The grownups spoke of it in whispers. There was nothing particularly wrong with the house from the outside. It just needed a little | paint. The walk was lined with tall stately cedars, and the grounds “=| were well kept. Everything was in perfect order. Then why was everyone afraid of the place? It was the keeper of this beautiful lodge! He was an old seaman, and probably being compelled to stay on land made him grouchy. No one dared visit him. No children dared take apples from his orchard. He never went to town to buy provisions. That task was left to his garrulous housekeeper—the only servant who would stay on the place with him. One day old Captain Ruggles was walking around his orchard. It really was a beautiful orchard. The small trees had been set out in perfect order, and the luscious fruit showed bright against the green foliage. Very prosperous was Captain Ruggles! There was no reason for taking such a walk, for only last night had he seen these things. “Those potaters oughter been dug long ergo.” “Feel kinder funny, guess I oughter brought old ‘Trusty’ along, folks allus snooping ’roun other people’s land!” These were his thoughts as he strolled along eyeing first one shrub and then another. He continued, “The very idea of me a-thinking anybody would dare come on my place. Umph!” Old Captain Ruggles was quite unprepared for what happened. A little girl, probably of very nearly twelve years or more set her bucket of gooseberries down and was eyeing the man with calm regard. “Well, well, wherever,—er,” the old man sputtered shaking his stick. “Yes, sir. They are very good berries, sir. We couldn’t find such good ones anywhere else, and Ma just had to have ’em, ‘cause she’s going to have Auntie over to dinner tomorrow.” The girl was quite unaware of the fact that this was the dreaded ogre from whom her companions ran. He just looked like a funny old man to er. After the surprise of the old man had melted away, leaving him shak- ing in anger, he found that the girl was quite brown and had a pleasant elfish grin. Her hair was cut short (he never approved of bobs) and her dress was torn from the brambles. He could scarcely speak, he was so angry. The Ruggles’ land had been trespassed upon, and private propert: was about to be stolen! He raged and puffed and blew Eighacna ; Then again he was to be surprised, for the great Captain Ruggles was being laughed at. “Gee, yer funny, mister! This is better’n a side show.” Speechless amazement gripped the captain. Why wasn’t this child frightened? The man who had scared bold — — S PSS OZONE del efefefefefep SAMUEL Ee, Lhd A lafa fafa fia fafa, Ud L L VL LL lhl = = i PsSOT WS sailors into obedience with his lashi in this child of tender years. cara “ g tongue merely provoked laughter y, ain’t yer scared, not even a wee bit?” “Of what, Mister?

Come along, ie ote Cae eae behind the old man, glad that she was not scolded Suddenly the captain said: “Do you go to school?” On being answered in the affirmative, he continued, “Always grasp every opportunity, but don’t grasp the wrong one. Choose carefully. Go- ing to high school?” “Yes, sir.” “What are your subjects?” “Latin, Algebra, English, and probably history.” “Child I'd give anything to be your age and able to go to high school.” Why Captain Ruggles, did you ever go?” ; The old man sighed, “Yes, I started, but I was too hot headed to fin- ish. I wanted to take a course in civics. My father just didn’t see that it was any good, and since he wouldn't let me take it, I just ran away.” Where did you go?” “T started out on a fishing smack, owned by Old Captain Dean, but I went from there into the navy. I fought in the Civil War and the Spanish- American War. Oh boy, them was days!” The old face lighted up happily. “Then I got hurt. Everybody thought I was dead, but somehow the doctors pulled me through, and here is what is left,” pointing to a scarred cheek and a wooden leg. The child had noticed neither his ugliness nor his wooden leg. She just considered him a lovely, entertaining old man. She spent the entire morning with him, looking over relics from foreign countries. At noon when she went home for lunch her mother was deep in the process of cake making. “Land sakes, child, where have you been?” “Over to Captain Ruggles, Mother, and he surely is nice. He didn’t like my coming over there to take his berries, but afterwards he gave them to me, and listen, Mother,—” ; Dot’s sister came in, wondering about all the noise. “And say,” said Dot. ‘Why are the folks so scared of Captain Ruggles? He’s not so ugly and is, Oh, so nice!” SO) ADA | PPR C20 The Bracelet —ARRIETTE SMITH stood before a couch in her bedroom gazing down at her graduation presents. A gold bracelet set with four | large stones caught her attention. “What is this thing?” she | grumbled as she stooped to pick it up. It showed signs of much wear, but not until she noticed the accompanying card, did her eyes their school songs. but to have her happiness spoiled in this way was horrid. Why should her aunty, her only relative in the world, give her such an ugly present? Resolving that she would never wear the terrible old bracelet, Harriette turned to go when her eyes noticed much writing on the back of the card. “Maybe,” thought Harriette, “Aunty doesn’t mean this for a gift.” But she was mistaken for the card read, “My dearest Niece, This is my gift. Each stone represents a treasure of ambition. If you wish to know more, meet me in my room at eight o’clock. Aunty” After reading the missive, Harriette decided she would go to her aunt—not out of curiosity, but because some internal spirit bade her go. It was exactly three minutes of eight when Harriette entered her Aunt’s room. After greeting her aunt, she was told to be seated. Then the explanation began. “There is a road in life, which we all travel. It is called ‘ambition.’ From this road are many others, but the four main ones are represented by these stones,” said the girl’s aunt, pointing to the stones of the bracelet. “The red stone represents a road called ‘Pleasure.’ Along the road are lights, music, songs, merriment, and people who seem as happy as the day ; but there is time for nothing but play. The yellow stone marks the way of ‘Gold.’ Along this road you will find much wealth, but people will push you aside. There will be no happiness with wealth. The green stone marks the road of ‘Fame.’ Along the road will be many hardships. Little by little you will move. Your companions will fall by the wayside. Those who stay will have little time for you, for they will envy you and try to surpass you. The blue stone and the last one, is a sign of ‘Love.’ Along this road you will find flowers for the sad; cheerings words for the lonely ; resting places for the tired; and help for the needy. In finding these things you will find happiness. Now go,” concluded the old lady, “for I have ex- plained my gift. May you choose the right stone.” Harriette arose and mechanically answered, ‘Aunty, I have chosen. All my life I have been a selfish girl, thinking only of myself. I could never live without work, comfort, or friendship. Therefore, I choose the blue stone as my guidance through life.” “Well chosen,” replied the girl’s aunt, “for where there is love, there are comfort, happiness, and friendship.” [EBINSNSASNSACATASNENATAS EDWINA RIDGELEY. ies a ee MT TSN The Honor Roll SS .

Under the leadership of the officers, Rosetta Berry, president; 3; Elsie Johnson, vice-president ; Thelma Burt, secretary ; and Juliette =| Grigsby, treasurer, the Fleur-de-lis has held many interesting meetings. The best of these was the one at which “The Home as a Real Home” was discussed. From time to time the club has conducted as- semblies to which all the Dunbar girls have been invited. At one of these caren Dr. Anna J. Cooper addressed the girls on “Choosing a Vo- cation. On the night of December 27, the armory was the scene of a very beautiful Fleur-de-lis reception which partook of the nature of a reunion as there was a large number of the alumni in attendance. Among them were Mr. John Payne, the Misses Ethel and Dorothy Houston, Mr. Robert Syphax, the Misses Francis and Catherine Cardoza, and Mr. Wilder Montgomery. The latest activity of this club is the formation of a Girl’s Reserve Club. This club is composed entirely of seniors.

What a majestic-sounding title, conveying an idea of supremacy in all things. For years the organization has striven “)} to retain this supremacy by carrying out some program during the year, which is calculated to promote better social relations among the members of the senior class, and at the same time contribute in some way to the general welfare of the entire school. One thing which has been the outstanding feature of these programs is the supervision of school traffic. The dignified but congenial young fellows whom you see so efficiently handling the heavy streams of traffic that pour through the corridors between classes, you may easily recognize as members of the Rex. The officers of the Rex Club of ’28 are as follows: president, Captain Robert McGuire; vice-president, Captain Charles Weir; secretary, Mr. Joseph Watson; sergeant-at-arms, Lieutenant Frank Davis. An important item on the program of the Rex Club of ’28 is the study of parliamentary law in which the members have enthusiastically indulged under the guidance of Mr. Bassett, the sponsor. After hearing some of the spirited debates on various matters by our future lawyers and states- men, one will readily conclude that noteworthy progress is being made. A Rex Quartet is also being organized. Some splendid material is available in the persons of John Harris, Emmett Morse, Malachi Taylor, Graves Walker, and Morgan Dawkins. | Early this year plans were laid for the Rex Prom, and on April 13th, | the affair was held with great success. On this occasion the armory underwent a remarkable transformation, and under soft lights and beauti- ful decorations the members of the Rex and their guests danced to the tune of popular airs or clustered about in little groups, chatting gaily. The idea’ of forming a cheering section at all atheltic contests has also been well supported by the boys of the Rex. Their “rooting” at the football games has imparted plenty of zest to the contests. Last, but not least, a cheer has been adopted for the Rex Club. The eye cannot possibly ' convey thé cheer as can the ear, but never theless it follows: Brek-ek-ek-ex Ko-ax-Ko-ax Brek-ek-ek-ex Ko-ax-Ko-ax Who-o-up Who-o-up Parabalou Rex! These few statements, it is hoped, will give a clearer idea of the aims _and activities of the Dunbar Rex Club.

Anyway we Abst | could never have existed without her. Our project for the year S€@} was a study of Africa, its geography and its history. We found it to be very interesting delving into the spooky mysteries of deepest and darkest Africa. On one occasion Edna Elliot dressed herself in native African garb and paraded before the eyes of her club members. One reason for our feeling so proud of ourselves is that we have had very distinguished speakers at our inductions. At our first induction Mr. John Haynes Holmes was the speaker of the occasion. Mrs. Mary Churcl Terrell was the speaker on the second occasion. Counting the number taken in at both the inductions, we had twenty-seven or fifteen per cent of the senior class taken into the Honor Society. We felt an indescribable thrill when we were seated on the platform at these inductions. Of course the first thing we did after having been taken into the Society was to elect our officers for the year. Our president, vice-presi- dent, and secretary for the first semester were Benjamin Henley, Rosetta Berry, and Bernice Smith, respectively ; for the second semester, Blanchard Lloyd, Helen Scurlock, and Elsie Johnson. The next thing of importance that we did was to inform our sponsor of our free periods available for coaching. We soon found ourselves coaching children in Latin, French, Math and sundry other subjects, and we wondered why we were so rash as to send in our names. We soon however, became so interested in our work that we regretted having to give it up at the end of the year. The Senior Sponsors BOVE, there is a picture with the words “The Senior Sponsors” under it. It is true the young ladies in the picture do not appear conscious of their position and title; nevertheless their particular role is indeed an important one, for it is they who are the “bi- sisters” of the little Freshman girls, the advisers, helpers, and friends of “small sisters.” is the duty of the sponsors to conduct the new students to their classes on the day of their entrance to our school and, in those first trying weeks of adjustment, to help them when they are puzzled or do not under- stand the methods of high school life and the arrangement of the building. At a formal welcoming of the new additions to the great family at Dunbar, this year, the sponsors gave’the requirements and standards of a true ‘“Dunbarite.” The school activities, that is, the various organizations, were also discussed at this meeting. Later, a “party” was given the new-comers. The “big sisters,” as- sisted by Miss Julia Brooks, taught them many new games, which, to- gether with some familiar ones, were played in the girls’ gymnasium. After a “rollicking, frolicking” time, refreshments were served in the lunch-room, and prizes were awarded to those who excelled in the. various games. Many a freshman girl has been made to feel at home and has been greatly inspired with a desire to live up to the highest ideals of Dunbar by the true friendship of “The Senior Sponsors.” A SSS SS Ae the children of a poor wood-cutter. y and “Mytyl, there comes the Fairy Berylune who sends them on their search for the Blue Bird which is the emblem 0. in their search she gives them the magic diamon to the soul of all the elements in the world. The only things, however, that accompany the children in their search for the Blue Bird are Sugar, d Fire. Their search takes them Dog, Cat, Bread, Water, Light, Milk, and F : into the Land of Memory, the Palace of Night, the Palace of Happiness, and the Kingdom of the Future. But the Blue Bird is not found in any of these places. The children finally find the bird where it awaits us all— in their home, only to lose him again. : F The character of Tyltyl was portrayed by Marjorie Wormley in a superb fashion. Miss Wormley deserves more credit than can be given her because of the fact that her part was twice as long and difficult as any other. Mytyl was played by Evelyn Gardiner, who showed that she has the making of a fine little actress. The Dog and Cat as characterized by John Harris and Harry Kane, respectively, added little touches of humor to the play. Doris Wilkinson played the part of Light, who guided the children in their search for the Blue Bird. Bread was personated by Allen Thomas, who gave such a fine persona- tion that he surprised even his classmates. Thomas is a very quiet and taciturn fellow and none of his classmates suspected him of the humor he showed during the play. Fire, Water, Milk, and Sugar were admirably played by Juanita Johnson, Daisy Welch, Miriam Betz, and Frances Brown, respectively. The Fairy Berylune as portrayed by Clara Shippen called forth many expressions of admiration from the audience. It was hard to believe that Mummy and Daddy Tyl were Dorothy Barnet and Ernest mos. The Blue Bird further proves what can be accomplished through co- operation among the various schools. We are especially grateful to the students of Armstrong Technical High School and their teachers, Mr. Roy, Mr. Alexander, Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Buckner, and Mrs. Matthews, for their help in the construction and painting of the scenery for the play; Mrs. Estelle Mayer, Mrs. Ruth Cornell and students of the Margaret Washing- ton Vocational School we thank for so skillfully making the costumes for the principal characters: Light, Fire, Milk, Sugar, Water, and Night. We express our gratitude also to Miss Lottie Ruff of the Miner Normal School for the costumes of Cat and Dog; to Mr. Fred Pelham of Armstrong for lighting and stage management; to Mr. Baltimore for printing of pro- grams. In our own school students and faculty worked with enthusiasm. Dances were directed by Mrs. Theresa Lee Connelly; choruses by Mrs. Lola Johnson, the orchestra by Mr. Henry L. Grant. Various other members of the faculty directed costuming, posters, publicity, properties and the busi- ness management.

This playlet was arranged and directed by Dr. Anna J. Cooper, sponsor of the club. The scene of act one was laid in the atrium of Priam’s pal- ace. “Here Hecuba and her daughters vainly crouched around the altars, just like a black tempest of doves,” while they sang “Carmen ad Dianam” in supplication to the virgin goddess. . Later the audience sat on the edges of their seats during the duel scene between Pyrrhus and Polites, which ended in the slaying of a son before his father’s eyes—‘‘Finally he fell before the very face of his father and poured forth his life’s blood.” The scene of act two was laid at Carthage in the throne room of Queen Dido’s palace as Dido welcomed wandering Aeneas with the words, “O Trojans, welcome to my Tyrian shores, for I am fully aware of ad- versity, and am able to succor those in misfortune.” The act closes when Aeneas, having told of his wanderings, sends for gifts to present to the queen. Not only the diligence of the cast and the untiring efforts of the spon- sor, but also the co-operation of the various faculty committees on scenery, costumes, and dancing, as well as the patronage of the entire student body helped make the performance an overwhelming success. “Diogenes Looks for a Secreta ry” RIDAY, APRIL 25, 1928, in the auditorium of the Dunbar High '| School, the Business Department of the Dunbar High School gave an interesting play, entitled, “Diogenes Looks for a Secretary.” The purpose of the performance was to reveal in a humorous way the deficiencies of the Flapper Type of stenographers and J secretaries, and to point out the qualities to be desired in a busi- ness woman. The audience appreciated the humor of the sketch, as well as its lesson. The cast follows :— Spirit of Diogenes Julia Young The B Rayfield Carey David Brown Marie Curtis Miss Corliss Edith Minor Stacy Smith Robert Crawford First Applicant Marjorie R.

Brewer, its f Li {| sponsor, with an enrollment of eighty-two and an average attend- y | ance of thirty-five, the French Club has enjoyed unusual success 7,| this year. The club has carried out a program of weekly meetings ‘@ | and several projects which include two public performances. Our officers were: Bettie S. Taylor, president; Theodore Jenkins, vice president; Marsutus Smith, secretary—until December 7, when he re- signed and was succeeded by Inez Williston; and Theodore Jackson, treasurer. French parliamentary expressions, the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, the roll call, French songs, games and dances made our meet- ings lively and enjoyable. Often we solved cross-word puzzles. Once we made doughnuts by a recipe written in French. At another meeting, we heard Devonia Spratlin, of Denver, Colorado, describe life in a lycée in Paris. In the library we installed the French Club Book Shelf on which we placed French newspapers and magazines. We made a scrap book of more than one hundred and fifty pictures of French people and places. On December 23, 1927, dressed as French peasants, we sang French Christmas carols. On May 17, 1928, we presented Moliére’s comedy, Le Médecin malgré lui, with the following cast: Sganarelle, Benjamin Henley; Martine, Lillian Bland; Robert, Robert McGuire; Valére, Charles Weir; Lucas, George Jackson; Géronte, David Haywood; Lucinde, Aldriena Roblis; and Léandre, Louis Stokes. On this occasion we sang French songs and danced the minuet and a folk dance. Finally, Bettie S. Taylor pre- sented to Mr. Smith our scrap book,—our gift to the Dunbar Library. The Debating Society OU ARE INTERESTED in the current issues of the day, or in e great international problems, if you like to argue, or if you want to argue and can not, then join the Debating Society. This club is one of the most active and inspiring clubs on Dunbar’s list. Led by Mr. J. Newton Hill the club has held three interclass 22“) debates, and an interscholastic debate with Douglass High of Baltimore. The senior team, composed of William Tinney, Hildred Thomas, Charles Weir, and Benjamin Henley, emerged victorious over the juniors in the interclass debate. In spite of this defeat it does not mean that the juniors, William McNeill, John Davis, Nellie Barnes, and Clarke Bailey, are not a cracking good team. The winners of the freshman-sophomore debate were the “sophs.” Elizabeth Neill, John Jamerson, Harry Risher, and Margaret Just upheld the lucky team. The freshman team did not mind, for they had the satis- faction of knowing that they could debate. Eunice Landers, Annie Todd, Ulysses Lee, and Maurine Pelham represented the freshmen. From time to time the society has been addressed by such prominent speakers as Mr. Neval Thomas and Mr. Walter Wright, vice-president of Lincoln University. The latest development of the club, however, is the formation of two varsity debating team s. The first team headed by Edna Burke is composed of Harry Risher and Marion Jackson. William Tinney leads the second team, and has for his co-workers Margaret Just and Hildred Thomas. The officers of the Debating Society are: Edna Burke, president; Harry Risher, vice-president; Marion Jackson, secretary-treasurer; Bettie Taylor, parliamentarian; Dorothy Henry, chairman of the program com- mittee.

She at first thought that she would not have so very much to do but this thought was soon dispelled and she found her- self remaining after school until five o’clock in the afternoon correcting news or writing editorials. She still declares that she could never have done it had it not been for the smiling presence of Miss McNeill. At the beginning of the year we held a rummage sale at which we demonstrated quite effectively that we could sell goods as well as write news. We gained some very valuable information from many of our cus- tomers concerning the value of a dress or on attending church regularly. When we discovered that we needed to give an impetus to our sale of Observers, we launched a contest in which the winner was given a pecu- niary reward. This contest was well worth the undertaking. The sales- men came for their lot of papers so quickly and in such numbers that we could not keep pace with them and were forced to ask them to move a little more slowly. We have decided after having worked on the newspaper all the year that we would like to continue working on it next year. Of course some of us shall and some of us won’t. Those who won’t are the seniors. In March we had as our representatives at the Columbia University Press Association Helen Scurlock, Evelyn Browne, and Blanchard Lloyd. We were very much amused when they returned and informed us that Evelyn had become lost during her stay in New York. She did not seem The Journalism Class N ROOM 72 every third hour one may notice a small but busy group | of students. This is the Journalism Class of 28. On alternate Mondays, especially, there is a rush and excitement beyond the limits of ordinary classroom work. There is no fire, however. Members of the class are merely putting the finishing touches on 5) the “Dunbar Observer” and preparing the “dummy” for the print- er. The amateur journalists collaborate with the staff of the “Observer” in issuing the paper; in fact, Elise Fletcher, Marion Jackson, and Robert McGuire, of the class, are members of the staff. Because of the journalistic ability of Marion Jackson, she has been chosen editor-in-chief of Liber Anni. Edwina Ridgely, another budding Journalist, was elected one of the assistant advertising managers at the same time. Besides its laurels in the literary circles of Dunbar, the Journalism Class is proud of the fact that three of its members are in the National rae Society and that others are officers of various organizations in the school. The class has formed a Journalism Club headed by Marion Jackson, with Robert McGuire as vice-president, and Elise Fletcher as secretary. The members of the class are Elise Fletcher, Althea Howard, Marion Jackson, Mary Jackson, Walter Johnson, Robert McGuire, Marie Mitchell, Edwina Ridgely, Karl Phillips, Flossie Sinclair, Annabelle Stewart, and Allen Thomas.

We have “Inside Views,” published by Benjamin Htnley and Charles Weir; “Music Hath Charms,” by Elsie Johnson; and “In A Word or Two,” which is under the charge of a student in the Journalism Class. We have had so much material left over after the publication of each issue of the paper that we hope to have a five-page paper next year rather than a four-page journal.

Crossword puzzles, the letters of which spell the biological terms used in class, were worked out by members. Trips were made to the Botanical Gardens, the Zoo, the Museum, and to various floral exhibitions. Through the club interest in biology has increased. Members have been given plants from the Dunbar greenhouse with which to beautify their own yards. In order to see which student has been most successful with his flowers, visits will later be made to the homes of various club members. The club has come to the conclusion that biology is not only theoretical but also practical.

This year the 23 BS officers of the club are: Robert Johnson, president; Elizabeth A Madden, vice-president; Grace Entzminger, secretary. Mrs. Ade- 5| laide Daly, a teacher of Spanish, sponsors this large and en- thusiastie group. During the first semester Mr. Gownder and Mr. Lanauze taught the club new words and phrases to be used in a restaurant. Mrs. Daly helped impress these words and phrases by means of little games which the club played every week. Soon members felt that they would not go hungry if they visited Spain. The second semester found the club with no time to play games because it was preparing for a play to be given in June. Because of the hard work on the part of Mrs. Daly and the interest shown by the mem- bers of the club, the play could not help but be a success. All members feel that a very profitable year has been spent.

Although there were ert} only “brilliant” students in the class (keep this away from our teacher, Mr. McDuffie), “Ben” Henley, Edna Burke, and Charlie Weir were the ones who shone most brilliantly. Of course this bright galaxy of stars must have a person to keep it shining. We did! We are all indebted to Mr. McDuffie for his interest and patience shown towards the class, and wish to take this opportunity to thank him. During our course of study many humorous passages, easily applica- ble to students of the class, were cited, ranging from the love affairs of Charles Weir to the aeronautic adventures of Frank Davis. Our teacher with his fine sense of humor rarely failed to appreciate these practical jokes, and was often the instigator of some of the best. We have all agreed, as so often suggested by Mr. McDuffie, to present our friend Virgil with a lengthy questionnaire when we meet him in the realm of Avernia, due to his many ambiguous or unsolvable verses. Despite these difficulties, which, it seems, just must arise, we enjoy the hair-raising accounts of the sea voyages of our dear friend Aeneas, the thrilling romance of Dido, the comical tragedies of Icarus, and Pyramus and Thisbe. We see no evidence of the death of Latin in any of these fine stories. We are only sorry that for the most part our study of Latin literature will terminate with our reluctant (this word is used with modera- tion) departure from our Alma Mater.

The purpose of the club is a four-fold one: to develop iy RN | an appreciation of the short story as a type; to develop a permanent @ | desire for wholesome literature; to develop the pupil’s power of | thought and of oral and written expression; to encourage and � ) arouse in the pupil sufficient interest to create stories for himself. During the year 1927-28, original stories by Aminda Kelley, Edwina Ridgeley, Virginia Hewlett, and Edna Elliott were submitted. We, the ciub, hope to present to the school library a book containing twelve original stories. Much credit should be given to our sponsor, Miss Pearl Adams, for she has inspired and helped us through our difficulties in many ways.

This latter production is one in which the class may well take pride since it establishes a precedent for the Latin seven and eight students. After struggling with translations, the embarrassment of poor recita- tions, and the anxieties of tests, we can well say that the course of Latin in our senior year has been one of pleasure and enjoyment; and, with the words of him whom we strove so hard to please as he lay in his Stygian resting-place, “Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.” ) So eePeNNNPNIYTRD 11699 A PPOPYRENTE C7221 Ea tl SS The Negro History Club “INE OF THE PROJECTS started this year under the sponsorship | of Dr. Dykes is the Negro History Club, which proved to be very beneficial as well as inspirational to all of the members. The aim of the club is to promote an interest in the history of the Negro, of which so little is known. At the first meeting the election of = | officers for the year was held with the following results: Catherine Bradford, president; John Harris, vice-president; Hildred Thomas, secre- tary; Israel Jackson, sergeant-at-arms. During the year the club has studied the Negro from the beginning of civilization until the present time. The Negro’s position in war, music, literature, and art has been emphasized by the study of the lives of Toussaint L’Overture, Countee Cullen, Roland Hayes, Paul Laurence Dun- bar and others. A feature of one of the meetings was an address by Captain York, who discussed the Negro as a soldier, relating his ex- periences in France during the World War. We hope that interest in the club will not wane, but that the organi- zation will be able to accomplish much more in future years. (ee y “E The Know Washington Historically Club Ta |OW MANY of you know your own city? An opportunity is given you to become better acquainted with it through membership in || The Know Washington Historically Club, one of Dunbar’s most ‘| wide awake groups. This club was organized among freshman girls two years ago by Mrs. Gladys Fairley. The aim is to visit } historical spots of Washington and nearby places. Some of the places visited by the club are the Museum, Congressional Library, Capitol, Washington Monument, Franciscan Monastery, and Mount Vernon. There are twenty members in the club. The officers are: Constance Burke, president; Esther Tignor, vice-president; Maud Minor, secretary ; Robert Chavers, newspaper reporter. We regret that certain changes in the school system caused us to lose Mrs. Fairley, who had directed the club since its beginning. Miss Carlotta Peters, however, willingly con- sented to act as our new sponser. Under her guidance the club is flourish- ing with its usual enthusiasm. se OZONE ZZ GS ¥, Sf ec ITT TES The Shorthand Club NE OF THE NEWEST ADDITIONS to Dunbar’s family of clubs MN CI]}4) is the Shorthand Club which was organized in 1927. The purpose Y, of this group is to stimulate an interest and appreciation in S45) business subjects. Among the interesting activities which have 59 characterized the meetings are cutting stencils, operating the : mimeograph and mimeoscope machines, taking dictation, and transcribing notes. These features have proved very beneficial and inter- esting to the members. The officers of the club are: Florence Richter, president; Elizabeth Blanford, vice-president; Edith Minor, secretary ; Vivian Jackson, treas- urer. The officers, along with Mr. Frederick J.

The purpose of the club, to visit business houses in the city, has been profitably carried out. A little fun after the business meetings, held the fourth Thursday of each month, has not been the only method of recreation. A St. Patrick Day party, a hike, and a theatre party have rewarded the members for their hard work at other times. The officers of the club are: Edith Minor, president; Marie Clark, vice-president; Tanis Watts, secretary; Mamie Wyles, treasurer; Marie Curtis, club reporter. Miss Leanna F. Johnson is sponsor. The Radio Club IZED IN 1925 under the leadership of our well known “Radio Scott,” and sponsored by Mr. Weatherless, the Radio Club has made remarkable progress. This club devotes its time pri- marily to the construction and operation of amateur radio trans- mitting and receiving outfits. Since its organization, transmitting |S?) sets of practically every type have been constructed, varying in their efficient range from five to five thousand miles. With Dunbar’s re- ceiving sets we have listened to the conversations of those in New Zealand and Australia on a number of occasions. Instructions are given to all desiring to become thoroughly acquainted with the science of radio telegraphy and telephony. Much benefit has been derived from these courses. During the history of the club, we have had six members to receive the first class government license, which is required for anyone who operates a transmitting outfit. The acquisition of these licenses is proof enough of the thoroughness of the training ob- tained in this organization. Blanchard Lloyd, our president, extends an invitation to all who are interested in radio to join the club and to become acquainted with the thrilling sport of communicating with our neighbors in other states, countries, and continents. qIRST ORGAN The Girls’ Glee Club HE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB, organized December 6, 1927, is sponsored by Miss Mary L. Europe. The officers are: Henrietta Grant, presi- dent; Virginia Hewlett, vice-president; Elsie Allen, secretary- treasurer. During the three weeks which preceded Christmas, the Glee Club worked exceptionally hard so it could occupy a worthy place on the Christmas program. After Christmas the members began work on an operetta to be presented in the early spring. The work had to be abandoned, however, because of the end of the semester. The first week of March, 1928, found a few old members and a few new members under the sponsorship of Miss Europe. The club progressed rapidly after the beginning of the second semester. Late in the spring it presented the operetta ““A Garden of Flowers.” 7 Ue ‘ HE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA of this year is undoubtedly the best ))| in the history of this high school. There is an enrollment of twen- ty-five which includes some of Dunbar’s best talent. Furthermore, 4) the number of different instruments used in the orchestra is worthy 3 S| of note. Those instruments used regularly are violin, flute, clari- net, trumpet, trombone, baritone, horn, saxophone, and drums. Students are now receiving instructions on the oboe, bassoon, and cello. With these additions, a bigger and even better orchestra is expected for the next school year. After frequent requests on the part of the members and of the instruc- tor, Mr. Henry Grant, the school system has granted major credits to those members desiring to pursue a special orchestral course. Under this arrangement special classes for instruction in the rudiments of music are held each day along with the regular rehearsals. Many pupils have en- tered this major music group and a great deal of interest has been shown by all. The orchestra gave its yearly recital in May. This recital was one in which the school took the greatest pride. Many familiar numbers together with some new selections afforded an interesting and instructive program. The solo work was also deserving of special commendation. Pan SS he OOO ZAR 7 RPPRTRPFYSE | (9.4001 CRPPAPTITPTIT?

It has kept Dunbar High School in close touch with the life of the community through the appearances of the members in such public places as the Y.M.C.A. and in various churches. Through membership in this club, the boys have had an opportunity for development in business management as well as in self expression. At regular intervals the Glee Club appears before the student body, fur- nishing a unique entertainment. The boys sing especially well “Exhorta- tion,” by Will Marion Cook, and the Negro Spirituals. The students always enjoy the Glee Club Quartette, which is composed of James Lee, Maynard Wilson, Perry Davidson, and James Williams. The officers are: James Lee, president; Milton Miller, secretary; and Rayfield Cary, treas- urer. [pe ee eee.

At the first meeting the following officers were elected: president, Major Louis Stokes; vice-president, Lieutenant Milton Quander; secre- tary, Major Grafton Daniels; sergeant-at-arms, Captain Leslie Coates. The primary objective of the Officers’ Club is a better cadet corps. This movement was furthered by the formation of the Thursday Morning Officers’ Class. The fact that the officers are the models after which their subordinates are certain to pattern is constantly held before them, and as a result a notable degree of perfection in conduct is being obtained. The officers were addressed on one occasion by the principal who reminded them that they had an enormously large part to play in upholding the good name of the school.

Outstanding Clarke Bailey, Marjorie Blackistone, and the girl athletes are I lackiston 1 Suzanne Payne Miss Blackistone has received her blocked ‘D” while Miss “ley has earned her winged “D.” Although Miss Payne has not won her preeers she is already far along the road toward it. These girls have stood out in the basketball, volley ball, baseball, rifle, and track teams. Among the boys who have done well in athletics are Benjamin Amos, football and basketball star; John Gilmore, baseball player; and Alphonso Lyons, who has won his winged “D” in track and baseball. Athletics is not the only field into which the Juniors have ventured. They have made their presence felt in the Debating Society. The J) unior Debating team is composed of Nellie Barnes, Clarke Bailey, John Davis, and William McNeill. Although they were defeated by the Senior team in the Junior-Senior debate, they put up a good fight. There are nine Juniors’ names on the General Honor Roll. Some of them have appeared before; others are new. Clarke Bailey, Dorothy Bogan, Dorothy Cook, Suzanne Payne, Valerie Parks, Gheretein Ridgley, Francis Steele, Rebecca Tate, and Charles Thomas form this group. The class officers, Francis Steele, president; Althea Killingsworth, vice-president; William McNeill, secretary ; Mildred Baldwin, treasurer, have inspired the class to take part in all activities for the development of Dunbar. The Sophomore Class ITH MELVIN MADISON as president, Louise Taylor as vice-presi- dent, Laura Phillips as secretary, and Harry Risher as treasurer, the class of 1930 has been well represented this year in the various school activities. In the interclass debates much skill was shown by Margaret Just, Elizabeth Neill, Harry Risher, and John Jameson, who upheld their class, and defeated the freshman team. The sophomores played an important part also in Le Cercle Francais. In the play “Le Médecin malgré lui” by Moliére, Lillian Bland, who took the part of Martine, and Aldriena Roblis, who took the part of “Lucinde,” demonstrated great dramatic ability. The class has been represented in the athletics of the school by participating in the swimming meet, on the rifle team, and on the basket- ball team. Thus one can see that the class of 1930 has played an active part in the life of Dunbar this year. ED ZA 2G I —— Rr eZ SS FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS The Freshman Class corridors of Dunbar. These youngsters represented the Freshman class. The class was a large one, but in February its enrollment was increased considerably. In order that they might feel at home, early in the year the freshman girls were given a party by the senior sponsors. Mr. Saunders from time to time called the boys together in groups. The next important thing to be done, after the students had settled down to earnest work, was the election of officers. The members of the class chose as their officers Marie Perry, president; Mildred Terrell, vice- president; Annie Todd, secretary; Thelma Johnson, treasurer. Und er their guidance the class has entered enthusiastically into all school pro- ject: I SEPTEMBER, 1927, many new and eager faces were seen in the Ss. In the play entitled “The Bluebird” by Maurice Maeterlinck, presented recently, many members of the freshman class took part. The class was also well represented in the Debating Club. In the recent debate between the sophomores and freshmen, the class was proud of the work of Annie Todd, Maurine Pelham, Eunice Landers, and Ulysses Lee. Even though the freshmen have been at Dunbar for a short while, they have fallen in line and have as much school spirit as many of the upper classmen.

This number is the largest ever reached at a midyear graduation, and con- tains also the largest percentage of boys. On the night of January 30, the graduates were addressed at their commencement by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Her subject was “Moral Courage,” something, as she termed it, needed by everyone, especially by those fifty-four seated on the platform. On Thursday preceding the commencement the class held its exercises which were very enjoyable. Three of the class officers taking active parts in the program were Dorothy Harris, president; Cyril Hendrickson, vice- president; Synora Brown, secretary. The other officer of the class was Vassar Gibson, treasurer. The valedictory address was made by Mayme Edmondson and the salutatory by Marie Chase. The rest of the program included the class history by Cyril Hendrickson; class poem by Ruth Dickey; class prophecy by Inez Williston; class will by Ellsworth Parker; and the class song, the words and music of which were written by Inez Williston and by Synora Brown respectively. The class dance, a very important feature, was held Saturday, January 28th, in the armory—our last visit to that beloved sanctuary. And so the February class of 1928 leaves Dunbar never to forget it, always to love it, and ofttimes to return to it.

When the weather begins to get warm, announce- | ment is made of the try-outs for the team. This year, at the end of a few days, there was a list in Mr. Evans’ office of about one hundred candidates. The day the try- outs began, an army of boys, as it seemed, swarmed out in the stadium and began limbering up, the prospective moundsmen and catchers tossing sizzling grounders and developing accurate throwing arms, and the outfielders racing about for long flies. The process of elimination had begun. After many days of stiff practice and a few unfavorable scholar- ship marks, the team was narrowed down to seventeen or eighteen players. These players are for the most part of exceptionally fine caliber. An- derson, who has been playing first since the loss of Glover, has distin- guished himself in several games by his almost uncanny ability to snare wild throws. “Hank,” as he is called by his team-mates, is also noted for the incessant line of talk he keeps up throughout the game. It serves in measure to both disconcert his opponents and encourage his own men. “Hoss” Gilmore at second, “Knute” Jackson in the shortfield, Steele on third, and Brown behind the bat, complete an infield combination which cannot easily be surpassed. Dunbar’s pitching staff is also made up of good material. Harlan, Rush, Hand, and Watson are the twirlers upon whom the team relies. Rush, a southpaw, his displayed on more than one occasion his ability to pull himself out of a bad hole. One of his favorite stunts is striking out the batter when the bases are loaded. Any baseball fan can readily appre- ciate the value of a pitcher like that.

Basketball HE TEAM REPRESENTING DUNBAR this year on the basketball 4p court consisted of some of the best material in school-boy circles. The group had an unusual season, especially on foreign courts. It failed, however, at every attempt to subdue the enemy on the home ground. Coach Perkins spurred the boys, as in the past, in their effort to win the scholastic championship, but to no avail. The results of the important games follow: Howard High----------------- 23 Dunbar Howard High-- Armstrong - Armstrong --- Morgan Freshm Morgan Freshmen-- Howard Freshmen-- Howard Freshmen The team consisted of the following twelve members: Wil liam (Billy) Berry, captain; Burke (Mickey) Syphax, Theodore (Newt) Jackson, Joseph (Sloppy) Sewell, Sherman Brown, Marsutus Smith, Walter Tate, Clarence Short, Benjamin Amos, Ralston Matthews, Albert Davis and Clifford Peters. The first six mentioned are of the graduating class. The remainder will furnish a nucleus for next year’s team with Tate as captain. These are the luminaries of the team: “Mickey” Syphax, the lean and eagle-eyed forward, is undoubtedly the best in his class, and was also high point scorer of the season. “Sloppy” Sewall, the next ranking player in popularity and ability, should be given credit for his cleverness on the court. Captain Berry, the next in line, will long be remembered by those who watched him perform in the Crimson and Black toggery, because of his unusual ability to manipulate the ball. The other members of the team should be given honorable mention. ? The six players leaving Dunbar hope to play with different combina- tions next year. Syphax, Jackson, and Brown expect to play with Howard freshmen. Sewall contemplates going to Springfield. Smith thinks about Dartmouth, and last, Berry expects to enter Morgan College in Balti- more. i p N N ZS CSS TORPPRPPPPIITYPD | hf PPPPIPOT PPP O720.G.NG TPPTVTTYARPETIVEDTIN |)! MIP CoO Football HE FOOTBALL ELEVEN of 1927-28 demonstrated much teamwork and played with excellent unity on the gridiron in the many thrilling games played at home and abroad. These high points were heartily appreciated by the cheering throngs which followed the games. One can readily see the reason for this by merely glancing through the line-up indicated below: Theodore Williams --Adrian Johnson ---Louis Stokes -Lowry Barnes Leslie Coates Ulysses Glover -Walter Tate Boobie Milton Larry Left half_--_ Bernard Beckwith Right half_ _.--Domino Luz Fullback Joe Sewall Besides these, we also had other players who were equally as well skilled in the art of the turf and who did much to make the season a success. The most interesting game was played in Norfolk against the Booker T. Washington High School. Each play on the part of the opposing team was thwarted by the brilliant counterplays of our team. When the final whistle blew, the score was 0-0. Only one game of all the games played was lost—and that was “the” game. The score of this game, played at home against our traditional enemy, Armstrong, was 20-0. Nevertheless “The Red and Black” went back home with her head still in the air, satis- fied that she had done her best. The remaining three games were won by our team, the scores being as follows: Manassas Industrial School, 12-0; Bowie Normal School, 6-0; Douglass High School, Baltimore, Md., 15-8.

The volley ball sea- son opened with great enthusiasm. Many applicants presented | themselves for the teams. The interclass games were played, and | the sophomores emerged victorious. - This year, for the first time, soccer ball was introduced to the girls of Dunbar. Because of the lack of proper equipment, not much pro- gress was made. It is hoped, however, that next year Dunbar will possess an active soccer ball team. The basketball club was composed of juniors and seniors. Seniors won the championship, the score being 35-12. The class of ’28 was repre- sented b y Marie Clark and Gladys Pettie, forwards; Annabelle Steward and Zelda Swann, guards; Hazel Frye, center; Belle Sadgwar, side center. The junior players were Araminta Dale and Cora Quander, forwards; Marjory Blackistone and Addie Bruce, guards; Suzanne Payne, center; and Ellen Johnson, side center. The swimming club held an interesting meet on Thursday, May 3. The events were two 20-yard swims, one for beginners and one for others; back stroke 40-yard; 40-yard swim; 100-yard swim; under-water swim; candle race; and form diving. The seniors were well represented here by Hazel Frye and Marie Clark. They both were winners in the candle race, and Hazel starred in the 100-yard swim and the under-water swim. The rifle team has also been very active during ’27-’28. Some rare marksmen have been discovered. Among the seniors who have shown ex- ceptional ability are Hazel Frye, and Margaret Turner; Hazel being the captain. One can readily see, then, that Dunbar girls, through the development they have gained in the gymnasium and on the field are proving the adage, “A sound mind in a sound body.” Za NO RENTED I TOS 7 1G fa ; NIGHT SCHOOL GRADUATES Night School Seniors IT WAS WITH MUCH enthusiasm that the Night School Seniors | organized prior to their making preparations for commencernent.

The progress iy) N ee our alumni shows that the foundation laid at Dunbar has been 4 )| firm. A First on the list is Dartmouth College. Here we find Wilder ==! Montgomery, former Lieutenant-Colonel of the Twenty-fourth Regiment of High School Cadets. According to a report from Mr. E. Gordon Bill, dean of freshmen at Dartmouth College, Wilder is ranked in the upper two per cent of his class. Dunbar is represented at Rutgers College by Reuben McDaniels of the class of ’24. Mr. McDaniels, who has recently won distinction in the Mathematics Club of the school, has been elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Society. His last marks consisted of three A’s and two B’s. At Wellesley College we see Lillian Washington, Dunbar, ’24, and Dorothy Davis, Dunbar, ’26. We are proud to say that both of these girls are living up to their Alma Mater. Miss Davis, a junior, has received a scholarship of four hundred dollars because of her outstanding average. Francis Syphax, a senior of the Boston University School of Educa- tion, has been appointed one of the literary editors of the school magazine, “Sed,” Joseph Jenkins is one of seven juniors of Hamilton College who have received the highest honor that may be bestowed upon a college student, that of being elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity. Robert Weaver was recently elected to the Harvard University debat- ing team. In the Pasteur Debate, Weaver defeated five contestants, thus winning the Pasteur Medal, a prize awarded yearly since 1898 to the best speaker in a debate on French Politics. At Bryn Mawr are found Miss Audrey Wright and Miss Enid Cook. Miss Audrey Wright, class of ’23, was graduated from Oberlin College last June and admitted to Bryn Mawr for graduate work in social service, on the basis of a recommendation from Oberlin College. Miss Enid Cook, class of ’25, has matriculated at Bryn Mawr. She is the first colored girl, it is believed, to enter as an undergraduate. Miss Cook was regarded as the outstanding student of the four hundred freshman students at How- ard University last year and is now the outstanding student of the fresh- man class at Bryn Mawr. Mr. Granville Woodson, Dunbar ’26, now a student at the University of Pittsburgh, has been awarded the scholarship of the local Boule Chapter of the Sigma Psi Phi Fraternity. The award, which was one hundred and fifty dollars, was given to Mr. Woodson because of his high scholastic work and his excellent deportment. Mr. John Davis, class of ’23, Bates, 27, has been elected publicity edi- tor at Fisk University. Dunbar is represented at State Teachers’ College, Denver, Colorado, 0 ee —— IG eS dS by the Misses Fannie and Florida Pitt. Miss Florida Pitt has written a play which was selected by the state of Colorado to represent that state in a national contest of one-act and longer plays sponsored by the National Drama League. This play, “A Bit of Learning,” was written during Miss Pitt’s senior year at Dunbar as one of the activities of the dramatic class, and was presented at her class night exercises in 1926. At Whittier College we find that Nathaniel George, class of ’25, has earned, in an interclass track meet, the right to have his name engraved on the loving cup for which the best Whittier College athletes have contested. If George wins two more times, the cup, which is eight years old, will be his. George ran 220 yards in 20.5 seconds. Dunbar High School is represented at Lincoln University by Fannin Belcher, an extensive writer for the school paper. He also substitutes in English when occasions demand. The class of ’23 is represented by Miss Wenonah Bond who is pur- suing her course successfully at Radcliffe after having studied three years at Atlanta University. Miss Clara Bruce and Miss Dorothy Houston are also at Radcliffe. At Oberlin may be found three other former students of Dunbar, namely, Gladys Thomas, Elsie Robinson, Edna Mayer. Among those representing Dunbar at Howard University are Ethel Houston, Cecie Jenkins, Vivian Jenkins, Mollie Brooks, Ora Gibson, Ruth Mathews, Harry Landers, Joseph Drew, Marjorie Baltimore, William Syphax, Hortense Tinsley, Evelyn Smith, Margaret Barge, Edith Thomas, and Ethel Heywood. Miss Ethel Houston, ’27, is pursuing a straight college course in addi- tion to a course in music under Miss Estelle Pinkney. Miss Ora Gibson, class of ’27, is specializing in Latin. Joseph Drew, class of ’27, has already won the title of “shining light” and “‘the best man on the team” on the Howard football team. He helped Howard to victory in the big game Thanksgiving day. Miss Elaine Williams has the distinction of being the first junior to be appointed as an assistant in the department of chemistry at Howard University. Miss Helen Jackson, class of ’27, has been appointed to the position of registrar at the Maryland Normal School, Bowie, Maryland. Miss Jack- son was the winner of the Galt Prize last year. Miss Sarah Underdown, class of ’24, is continuing her work at Shady- side, Maryland, where, without an assistant, she instructs pupils from the first to the seventh grades inclusive. Mr. Howard C. Allen, alumnus of Dunbar, class of ’25, and at present an assistant in the Registrar’s office, has organized recently a perfume company, which is now engaged in the manufacture of various perfumes. Mr. Allen’s co-operation and encouragement were of valuable assistance in making this year’s Liber Anni whatever success it is. In Rutherford, N.C., we find W. Cook, class of ’21, acting as principal of a school. The name of Charles West, a Dunbar graduate of ’26, appears this year on the list of “Members of Dartmouth College with records of at least three A’s.” Mr. West, the only colored student of the college to attain this honor, is one of twenty-four chosen from a class of six hundred and fifty. be OAS OOO Oe Class Alphabet A is for Alexander, a merry mademoiselle, Brimming with pranks that one never can quell. B is for Betz, so jolly and gay, She quickly sends your grouch away. C is for the Carters, Zelda and Eurydice, They will not be separated, not even by mice. D is for Doris, who is first here and then there, She is only to be found at times! Very rare! E is for Elliot, modest and retiring, At whom we cast many glances admiring. F is for Frank, little and fat, He'd be quite a sheik if ’tweren’t for that. G is for Gibson, brilliant and gay, When it comes to orating she takes the day. H is for Henley, our most brilliant lad, When Adelaide isn’t around he always looks sad. I is for Ignatius, a lad most polite, Whose manners are polished, Oh, yes, quite! NSASASASACASAAAEAACASNEAERSAEATRELENENST J is for Jackson, our own Mildred coy, She’s just like a baby that cries for a toy. K is for Keets, a beau, we are told, Who, at the ladies, casts glances quite bold. L is for Lloyd, scientific and smart, Who has “Helen” engraved, it seems, on his heart. M is for “Mickey,” athletic to the core, And many are the fair ones who for him do roar. N is for “Nute,” another athlete, When he’s on the team it’s hard to beat. O is for Overton, her first name Louise, She has finished Burke and is now at her ease. P is for Plummer, who, as an artist we found, Always walked off with the drawing room crown. Q is for Quander, studious and “livelee,” There’s none in our class any smarter than he. VOLOLOCLLODOLOLDOLOLOLLLREL LO LLL LLL LLL L LES INSNSASASACACREAEAEAEATAEATAEAANE R is for Ralph, a “More-ton” is he, A taller person there never could be. S is for Smith, Bernice, it is meant, Towards musical fame she is now bent. | is for Taylor, Bettie and Marjorie too, 'Tis the latter who plays the piano for you. U is for you, freshmen, sophs, juniors too, We give it to you for the work you must do. VY is for Valentine who never is quiet, She finds a new word and says, “Oh! I must try it.” Wis for Williams, sometimes called “Phyl,” Who is very witty and never is still. X is for you whom I do not include, Tis the fault of the alphabet, so don’t think me rude. Y is for Young, a busy little miss, Her typing is something we all shall miss. 7% is for the teachers, everyone of them too, And now we must say our little “Thank you.” M. EDNA BURKE HUMOR Jeanette: I wish you wouldn’t chew gum. Don’t you know it’s made of horse’s hoofs? Hilda: Sure, that’s why I get a kick out of it. Lad: Do you have animal crackers? Storekeeper: No, but I have some very nice dog biscuits. Prof. (in physics): Give me a defini- tion for density. Student: I can’t define it Prof.; here is an illustration. Prof.: You've confessed; sit down. Member of Staff: Can you tell me any- thing about the alumni? Student: Sorry, I’m not taking chem- istry. Nu: The teachers are worse than im- migration authorities now-adays. Art: How come? Nu: They're all adopting the slogan, “They shall not pass.” PROMINENT WOMEN Marion likes to write— A task that brings good pay. And so this wish we all do give— “May she learn to write some day.” Bernice is a maiden who Plunks the piano a lot. She says that she can play it, We'd like to hear one who can not. Bettie studies day and night, Always has her lessons right, But if she keeps this up for long We'll soon be singing a funeral song. Willard is argumentative And always has something to say. And when we see her in the hall We all scamper quickly away. Thelma is a person who Talks and tries to be clever. No matter where we shall go Her mouth will run forever. Dorothy thinks she’s a fashion-plate, And tries to keep up with the models late. But if we were she, we'd easily see That we'd look better dressed out of date. Elsie is another lassie Whose tongue is very loose. We hope that in the future She’ll put her talk to use. Artenia holds her head so high To see her face hurts our necks. We wonder what is the cause of this— A superiority complex? Mildred Jackson is so fat And it sometimes she felt. When the sun was hot she’d say, “Oh, that this flesh would melt.” M. Edna Burke reed SR SS, DSS er ETE SS EEL ETT OS BRIGHT LIGHTS Emmett is a fellow fine, Who flings words north and south. We hope that in the future He'll keep them in his mouth. “Effie” said in French one day That he did eat a lot. Perhaps that is the reason why He has the length he’s got. That Weir is temperamental Is not so hard to see, He wears his hair like that great man Named Paderewski. Tinney does like to talk, “Tis debate,” so he'll say. But if he keeps on at it He'll be in jail one day. Edward Martin likes to draw, And we really wish him well; But if he does not hurry and learn, His hopes we'll soon dispel. Marsutus, who thinks he has “it,” Is a basketball player of wit; He looks all a-scare when the ball’s in the air, And never, oh never, gets it. Shakespeare overruns with drama, Milton with poetic stuff; Nunley is a different chap, And overruns with lots of bluff. “Doddy” has a great big car And thinks that he is “hot”; But if you ask us what we think, We'll quickly say, “He is not”. Darwin, your theory seems to be A thing that is quite true; And as we watch “Nute’s” actions here, Onr hats come off to you. M. Edna Burke lf Za Hey diddle, diddle, You've answered the riddle Of who's the most studious kid; It’s truly Charles Weir And surely a smart one, To have all that stuff in his lid. Humpty dumpty sat on a wall; Humpty dumpty had a great fall; But he couldn’t beat Dorothy Henry, Sing, sing, what shall I sing? Linwood Welch is the king— The very sheikiest of sheiks, Chosen from all of Dunbar’s freaks. O ho, Mr. Syphax! Come blow your horn; For your manly beauty Makes others forelorn. “Nute” Jackson, He loved to laugh, He also loved to talk; And so between them both, you see, You could hear him half-mile off. See saw Margery Daw, Tho you go higher and faster; You can’t compare, Tho you may dare, With Hildred Thomas our dancer. Jack and Jill ran up the hill To make a proclamation; “That of being the prettiest girl, Is Mary Jackson’s station.” Handy, pandy, Jack-a-Dandy; Such a difference sakes a-landy, From Charles Tibbs who wins a toy, For being Dunbar’s laziest boy. Oh where, and oh where, is a timid senior; Oh where, and oh where can one be? They say George Jackson is the timidest child, But he isn’t—take it from me. DS Oe Gs B 2B g Eg g Ds Z B B B g g g g g Ge g % ZB i ZB y Z g g 4 Z Z 4 S Z oY, Ralph Morton can’t lose his feet, No matter how he tries; Who fell in the trash can out in the hall. Our Own Nursery Rhymes For they’re so large—they’re big as @ barge— He'd trip on ’em, we surmise. Sing a song of retorts— Gee, she makes ’em quake— For retorts, Edwina Ridgeley Surely takes the cake. Lucky, lucky teachers pet, How do you catch them in your net? Up above the common herd, Fdna Burke’s a lucky bird. Little Melvin Barker sat in a corner, Acting as office boy; He was stuck in the office, For Principal Smith’s notice, Groaning, “Oh what a dumb-bell am 1.” Curly locks, curly locks, Would you were mine! Juliet Grigsby’s marcel All else doth outshine! There was an old lady Who lived in a shoe— But not Rosetta Berry’s (Her’s are size number two). Hickory, dickory docks, The boy with the loudest socks Is Effie McGuire, tis true, With socks in shades of brilliant hue. Edgar put the starter on; Edgar doesn’t know where to run. Edgar gave himself a boost, And now he needs a place to roost. Lloyd is a merry chap, A merry young chap is he; His list of excuses goes on without end, But he always pulls down a “G.” Old mother Hubbard, who went to her cupboard, Ain’t in the same class as Marion; This dignified senior, our “ed” Marion Jackson, Is really a perfect young lady. —By Hildred Thomas ee a } MO Za EST Co the Faculty —_ Four years our teachers Rammed it in, crammed it in Because our heads were hollow, lammed it in, jammed it in Still there was more to follow— English and history, Scientific mystery, Algebra, zoology, atin, Botany, geometry, French, and trigonometry, Rammed it in, crammed it in— Because our heads were hollow. Rubbed it in, clubbed it in All they could ot learning; Pushed it in, crunched it in To quench our idle yearning For out doors and quiet nooks Free from lessons, free from books, Drove such wicked thoughts afar, Tried to teach us what we are, Bought machines to cram it in, Banged it in, slammed it in— Because our heads were hollow. Scolded it in, molded it in All that we could swallow; Folded it in, rolled it in Still there was more to follow. Now our faces pinched and pale Tell the same undying tale— Tell of moments robbed of sleep ; Meals untasted, studies deep. We who've passed the furnace thru With aching brow we'll tell to you How the teachers rammed it in, Crammed it in, punched it in, Rubbed it in, clubbed it in, Pressed it in, caressed it in, Rapped it in and slapped it in— Because our heads were hollow. Yet after all we are quite glad We such rigid teachers had, Otherwise we still would be Hollow headed dumb-bunnies.

But a policy in this Com- pany, the greatest Negro business enterprise in the world, is more than just an insurance policy. It is protection plus opportunity. The money paid by Negroes for insurance through the National Benefit buys not pro- tection only—but opportunity. The wise investment of this money in ways that promote employment, its administering and management, the spread of its service and benefits—these things are building op- portunity for trained and ‘capable Negro brains and hands in growing numbers yearly. It is in the growth of our Negro-owned enterprises that we shall grow to the only equality worth while—equality of oppor- tunity. R. H. RUTHERFORD, PRESIDENT.
