Though not a satellite in the classroom, he is a persistent and diligent student. He has done his major in mathe- matics, which is no sop. As a socialite, Kat Hole has been a knife, i.e.. cutting many hogs. In his last days, however, he has shown bet- ter tactics. Kat Hole plans to disprove Einstein ' s theory of relativity.

Dumb Dora is always ready for an argument. In Gaul, he was a debater, but he was unable to make the grade in college. During these four years he has been trying to decide whether staying on the Hilt is more economical than staying in the city. He has changed residences not more than one hundred times. Blount will go into pedagogy and be a success. His weakness is women, wo- men, and women.

It seems as though it was only yesterday that Pug came to the Hill city from the wooly West, with his trousers too long for short and too short for long. In a short time he grew from the rural Pug to a city Bob. During the past two years he has been more interested in fast automobiles and fast women than in the amoeba or the Mendelian law.

This does not mean, how- ever, that he would not walk a mile for a Camel. It is conceded that Ops is the best French student in the class.

Some say students miss a lot by not lodging on the Hill, but with Bill. this has not been true. Due to the close proximity of his residence he has spent most of his time in the dorms with the old gang. Bill is a three-letter man in class athletics. In baseball he helped win most of the class games with his clever and efficient batting. He also was a star on the class bas- ketball and football teams. Bill is likable and one we will miss in life.

He has witnessed so much of the dark side of life that he is. without uncertainty, a cynic. As an all-round man he is hard to transcend. Ex- tra-curricular activities. to which he is well adapted, have been given most of his efforts. During his leisure or spare moments he has studied.

Page Thirty-eight Senior Class Honor Roll King Sol had descended the western horizon a long time since. The atmosphere was polluted with heterogeneous, voluminous emanations from Luckies, Camels, Chesterfields, stogies and aged pipes; crude voices and smooth tones with an occasional interpolation of epithets were being diffused. The Senior class was assembled in its pandemonium to do honor or dishonor to its integrants. Three shakes of the gavel. The class was called to order. The presiding officer, G. F. Newell, announced that we were assembled in order to select the superlatives of the class. Straightway the nomination began for the Adonis. This was difficult, for is not the Senior class smooth in its entirety? After eliminating Bar- ney Whiteman, the debonair Scott Schenck McKnight was chosen as the Most Handsome. Although there are really no uncomely men in the class, Bob Crater, even after proffering his declination, got the majority vote for the Ugliest. Of course, every one of us are sheiks, John Gilberts, as it were, yet, we conceded that Dusty Byrd was the Biggest Sheik. Without an infinitesimal modicum of dissension Dick Cannady was unanimously declared the Biggest Bull-shooter. Not only the weaker sex, but boys as well, adore athletes. We decided that Bun Hayes had brought the class more glory in athletics than anyone else. Though none of us wanted this honor some one had to get it. Effeminacy does not mean lady-like in this modern day anyway, rather it is just the antithesis. This being true, Little Jones was not peeved after captivating Most Feminine. The only man to be digging every day in the year when the sun appears is Doc Blue, hence, he was automatically the class Book-worm. At this time the vituperations became more accentuated and the smoke grew more dense. Bigun Steele, anti-volsteadite, was declared the Biggest Sport. Barney Whiteman. having featured in many political maneuvers, easily captured the Best Politician. He is also the Best Dressed. If you can beg and still maintain your dignity, if you can bum, yet not become submissive, you ' ll be a bum, my son. Red Chavis has always de- manded car tickets, show fare, two-bits and so on ad infinitum. He has fol- lowed all baseball and football teams, attended exclusive affairs in the State, yet always broke. For those reasons he received more votes than Ricks as the Biggest Hobo. Page Thirty-nine A doughnut was then exhibited. Bill Ozier saw the hole and Shortv Young, the whole of the doughnut. Thus they were chosen Most Pessimistic and Most Optimistic. respectively. You can tell Shorty the world will end tomorrow and he will retort. What d — 1 do I care. ' ' After choosing Night Hawk Ricks as the Dumbest to appease him. the title. Biggest Necker was added. Can he neck? — and how! Spud Williams has no regard for the King ' s English or Hoover ' s ver- nacular. Without hesitation he was voted the Most Ungrammatical. Meet the winner of the coveted Junior prize. Mr. A. S. Hoplite Powe. He is the class orator. Every class has its Bryants, and Ingersolls, Cannons and Darrows. Jack Waddell is the Most Religious. Van Chavis the Most Agnostic. No one deemed that Sticks Malloy was other than the Most Con- ceited. He opines that he weighs a ton. There was silence! Every one desired to nominate himself as the Most Popular. Whether axiomatic or not, Hempie Brown came away with the honor. Shorty Young is the Best Musician. Sleepy Lowe the Most Lethargic. H. I. Mom Powe is the Most Profane. Having read all the Harvard Classics and the majority of the books in the University library worth perusing. Chile Marshall is the Most Intellectual. As all were not indulging in Old Golds, in fact, some were on their second carload, there was a short period of coughing, as the shorts and butts were slowly dying. Page Forty ieWbd¥ Senior Class History Another book in our lives is just coming to a close. College life with its tears and its smiles, its work and its play, its sorrow and its joy. is now a matter of history. And as we reflect over this history that had its beginning in the early fall of 1925 when eighty-five Fresh- men from the rugged peaks of the mountains, from the coastal plains of the seashore, from the crowded cities of the far east, and from the cotton fields of Georgia reached their destination upon the picturesque campus of Johnson C. Smith University, we recall that even then a noble history was having its origin. Among this group was a variety of exceptional talent which by no means could be over emphasized in compiling the history of this to be famous number. Now. in attempting to write the history of the class of ' 29, it is not our purpose to emphasize ostentatiously what the class has done, nor do we wish to foretell the future. We merely wish to place the facts upon the table of life and let the scrutinizing eyes of the observers of time peruse them and give credit to whom credit is due. We realize that when we face the world, the problem that will confront us will not be, what did you learn in College, or what do you know, but what can you do. The success and progress of the class of ' 29 will not be dependent upon the marks and grades of examination papers, which are already laid upon the dusty shelves of time, but upon the practical and serviceable application of our knowledge to the problems of every-day life. The date of September 15, 1925, will always be to the members of the class of ' 29 as the date February 22. 1732. is to every red-blooded American; for it was then that we made our first adventure into college. We were subjected to the rules and regulations governing Freshmen, as outlined by the administration and also by the Sophomore class. It is verv in- teresting to state, just here, that due to our large majority over the Sophomore class, we were able to defeat them in every attempted form of hazing. A fact which at that time helped us to adjust ourselves to our new environment. As the school year kept up its continual grind, some tortunate members of the new-comers began to win some distinction in the social life of the city, while others were engaged in other discoveries. During these long months of adjust- ment to our new life, Mr. Leon Steele was our popular and efficient leader. After our summer vacation, we began our Sophomore year with big ideas and with the intentions of removing mountains and bringing about a complete revolution in the entire educational system. Therefore, we set out to work keeping up our routine of nightly study, and of course chasing Freshmen at odd intervals. We found oui Sophomore year to be a very interesting one but as another vacation season was fast approaching, we began to realize, under the leadership of Mr. R, L. Crater, that we were not altogether as wise as we thought and that we still had our big ideas, with a few modifications, and that the educational system was sufficient for awhile longer. So after all. we only lived the ordinary lives of Sophomores. During our Junior year we were under the leadership of Mr. G. F. Newell. It has been said very often that the Junior year is the turning point in a college education. Students really begin to take life seriously. If this be true, we could not have had a more fitting leader for our president, who with his executive ability, combined a high type of scholarship. Page Forty-one Our lasl year has been one of h.ird work and fanciful imaginations We have worked hard to eradicate all possibilities of any conflicting elements between us and the final goal, and we have imagined ourselves reaching the goal that has been sought for four years. Throughout the three previous ears, we have looked forward to the time when we would become Seniors. so we are not unmindful of the dignity and distinction which is ours: this being worthily typified in our president, Mr G I Newell, who succeeded himself. This history would be far from complete without a brief resume of the various college activities which the members of the class of ' 29 have participated in A well-rounded man must take part in various student activities and a well-rounded class must necessarily be repre- sented in various student activities. When the old Bull ' baseball aggregation defeated our ancient rival. Livingstone College in 10 2 6 and 1928 at Wearn Field before ten thousand fans, Mr. Burnalle J. Hayes, a member of the class of ' 29, was on the mound. With his exceptional ability as a pitcher he led the Bulls to the State championship. While the Pampus Bulls romped over the State and snatched the football championship, the class of ' 29 was represented on the squad by three members, including Mr. Leon Steele, the captain of the squad. It was due to the literary and executive abilities of the class of ' 29 that we had the honor of presenting to the University the first year book, known as THE BULL. That we are not lacking in musical talent is shown by the fact that the University Glee Club, which broadcasts an annual program over station WBT. is represented by ten members of the class of ' 29; while the University Quintette, on its trip across the continent to Los Angeles. California, in 1927. carried with it three members of the class of ' 29, including the University pianist. The fact that four members of the debating team for two years and members of oratorical contests and literary societies have come from the class of ' 29. is conclusive proof that this class will be well represented in the field of jurisprudence in the coming ages. To those who for four years have patiently guided our footsteps along the pathway ot knowledge who have borne with us in our mistakes, and rejoiced with us in our success we would pay a farewell tribute, luture years alone will reveal how many lives were inspired by t liein to nobler heights ,,| seivice — were directed by them along the road of truest success. Now it is with a feeling of sadness that we come to the parting of the ways. However, fwe realize that we must break the link in the strong chain of association that has held us together for four years, and that the world is calling us to a nobler and greater service Our departing w,,rds. therefore, are in the language of the song — Good-bye to you. Good-bye to you. We ' ll ever sing good bve to you. C. A. CVANS, Historian. Page Forty-two r Page Forty-three TBull C. C. Watkins Reidsville. N. C. T. A. LaSaine Charleston. S. C. R. E. Jones Dawson.

Glenn Since the beginning of Smith as Biddle Institute, and through the subsequent years after it became Biddle University, one of the most active departments has been the Theological School. In the charter of the University, and in its purpose as stated in all catalogs issued by Biddle Smith, the aim of the Institution ' s existence is the training of teachers and ministers of the gospel. The institution has never once strayed from the purpose as set forth in these declarations. At the present time the Theological School is enjoying a period of great popularity. To look into its future and try to guess what will be the immediate outcome of its work under the new name of Smith, one has but to look at the record made here and elsewhere by its graduates and to note the encouraging future looking just ahead of them. The graduates of this depart- ment are recognized by many standard theological graduate schools. When they succeed the name of Smith rises higher on the horizon of negro education. The Smith Theological School stands facing the rising sun of a new day. Behind it is a past resplendent with the deeds of her older sons.

Smith 37 Paine South Carolina State 18 6 6 13 Morehouse 19 That Championship Team of 1928 In the Football season of 1928, Coach C. Randolph Taylor (affectionately Randy ), turned out .- of stonewall linemen and whirlwind hacks that galloped through its schedule to carry off the foothall cha ship f North Carolina. Coach Taylor returned early to the campus with the grim detern the season was begun late in September, and with the memories of the present like gloomy ghosts, the outlook for 1928 was anything hut cheertul. With the services of Coach K. H. Diamond as assistant coach, and a nucleus of fifteen jettermen, Sir Randolph began the task of forming a grid machine. The men trained and drilled like Trojans and sunn the Bull machine took shape, and needed only a little more drill in offensive playing — horsepower, we might say. All too soon did the date come when the Bulls traveled to Du-ham, the nest of the North Carolina State- Eagles. We who had been closelv following our team through its daily drills were confident of victory. The Eagles, however, took to the air, and at this time of the season the Bulls had not as yet grown wings. The Eagles flew away with a 13-3 victory. Red Williams, versatile and cle ver of toe, saved the team from an egging with a goal from the field. Howard at Washington Cheer Leader Van Chavis, caught the Smith spirit and proceeded to convert the student body. Van and his able assistants. Carson and Griffin, called pep meetings daily, to which the students responded wonderfully. On October 1 1 the students were at the station en masse to send their team to Washington. D. C, to battle with the Howard Bisons. Amid a mighty student demonstration the train rattled out of the Southern station, carrying twenty-two knights in gold and blue armor, determined to beat Howard. The Bisons were expecting some very tame bullocks and came on the field prepared for a killing. Per- haps you would like to read Coach Taylor ' s write-up of that game Howard won. but what a game! Eastern sports writers still speak of the valiant battle that the Bulls displayed in the Howard backyard. Bogle, huge guard, stopped everything that Howard had to offer. It was here that he made his bid that landed him a berth on Bill Gibson ' s All-American team. Martin, Hall and Foulkes spelled death to all the forward passes that Howard attempted. The end play of little Charlie Harris was beautiful to watch. Captain Steele was a tower of strength in the line. The Bulls ' line completely out- played the Howard forwards. lack Martin intercepted a Howard pass and ran 65 yards for the lone Smith tally. However, two blocked punts turned the Cold and Bine back and Howard won. score 19-6. It was here that a great Smith team was horn winch was to mean sure death to all that were to come. Shaw at Charlotte The Bulls saw red and went on a rampage. First came the Shaw Bears to lie gored into passivity. The Bulls had now grown wings, an d unleashed a whirlwind attack that left the Bears on their heads. That line! Whew! How it charged and blocked. That backfield of streaks and flashes- -Hall, Martin, Foulkes and Wil- liams running wild-Shaw had no chance. The closing gun found the Bears the victims of a 22-6 defeat. Fayettfville State Normal at Charlotte Sunn cruel practical joker misinformed State Normal, and that team journeyed to Charlotte to tackle the Bulls. Whoopee look ' a there! They line up: streaks, flashes, touchdown. A few repetitions of that with only one variation; and the score for the game was Smith 47, State Normal 6. In this game was a new- man. Biggs in the backfield played a master game. That game tliat leaves you in those last fe- The game was Paine Colli Si -i, , 37-18. South Carolina State at Orangeburg ie Bulls played against S. C. State was one of those tough breaks heart-breaking affairs sing the word if quite often in any discussion thereof. It was a nip and tuck affair until minutes when a State player picked a loose pass out of space yvhile his shoes sprouted yvings. real exhibition of football as we like it. The score was State 6, Smith 0. Paine at Charlotte • next visited us and received a severe drubbing at the hands of the fighting Bull machine. Morehouse at Charlotte Next came the big Maroon Morehouse eleven up from Atlanta. This game was indeed a thriller. With Loth teams fighting last-ditch battles and with only three minutes to go with the score tied at l.t-all, Ellis, elongated Maroon end, plucked a beautiful pass out of the air and raced 35 yards for a touchdown and a win at 19-13. Thanksgiving Game On Thanksgiving Day the Bulls again met their ancient foes, the Livingstone Bears. The game was played on the Livingstone campus and drew quite a holiday- crowd to Salisbury. Livingstone was easy for the Bulls. The final score was 19-6. This game gave the Championship of North Carolina to Smith.

NORTH CAROLINA CHAMPIONS FOR 1928 The baseball season of 1928 was one of the most glorious in Smith ' s history Th .old reliable Coach Scales drilled his boys into the championship ot North Carolina That team of damondhles was really unbeatable. Losing only one game out of 13 this Smith team p. ed up a record sufficiently impressive to cause numerous individuals to designate . : s N tion al Collegiate Champ.ons for 19 28. This season the Bulls are go,ng after the National ti e McKeithan is the only man not to return to the team this season. Mack , services will undoubtedly be missed. There are. however, quite a few good men around to fill the veteran catchers shoes. There are on the campus ten le.termen: J. O. Elhs. selected by the faculty as b mo st athletic student, our fielder supreme; R. W Ellis, pitcher of no mean abdity and a hi«er W ho can play the outfield with the best of them: B. J. Hayes, pitcher (invinci e) who is picked to aga.n beat Yokeley in the annual Easter Monday classic between Snu h  d stone College- J. O. Home, outfielder and first baseman with a world of goods. H Lindsay, hat flash shortstop who takes all chances and hits with a will; T M Martin, who is ex- pec ed to succeed McKeithan as backstop: E. A. McDowell, the kid ba player who plays a whae of a game at the third (parking sign) sack: J. Pitchford, a good little pi cher who , can hit; J. Tucker, quite smooth, plays big league baseball at the keystone bag and blasts th apple all over the pasture, usually out; C. Walker, fleet-footed outfielder and W. W, hams, an - tial sacker who knows his bag. He kicks it from all angles with all manner of form. Hov. en we lose a game with such players as these, a team of lettermen and every man a star. Paae One Hundred One Outstanding Players FOOTBALL During the football season of 1928. Coach Taylor brought out some very notable and scintillating stars. Among them wen: Bogle, Captain Steele. Hall. Martin. Ellis. Baker. Jones. Henry. Foulkes and Biggs. One of these. Frank Bogle, was placed on Bill Gibson ' s Ail-Amer- ican first team. Three others. Hall. Martin and Captain Steele, were given honorable mention. I et ' s hear a lew things about these men. Bogle, at guard, is a member of the Freshman class, a regular fellow, and an athlete who takes the game seriously. It was in the Howard game of the 1928 season that he first attracted thi attention of Eastern sports writers by his hard and brilliant line play. This big fellow continued to play that kind of game throughout the season and was regarded as Smith ' s first All- American. Bus ' ' Hall, a fleeting back with brains as well as dash, truly deserves at least an honor- able mention on anybody ' s All-American squad. Hall is not a large man. weighing only 165 pounds. However, he is a most dependable man on defense. He is efficiency raised to the nth power, breaking up and intercepting forward passes, running like a Jazz Byrd, and tackling like a Wildman Lee. Hall is as good as the best. Jack ' ' Martin, the Bulls ' quarterback gave all that he had in every game played: you could depend on Jack ' ' to do that. As the steering gear for the Smith machine he functioned perfectly. His team had confidence in him and played its hardest behind him. Jack ' was dependable. Captain Bigun Steele, at left tackle, always played heads-up football. Seldom, if ever. brilliant or especially flashy in his playing, he was. nevertheless, always there in every play. Steele was one of those players who is never noticed unless he makes a misplay. You always expected the best from him, and his best he always gave. This is Steele ' s last year at Smith, and here ' s wishing him future success as great as those he has achieved here. BASKETBALL The season of 1 9 2 8 - ' 29 was Smith ' s first with basketball as a major sport. However. Coach Taylor turned out a few men who really got into the sport and played real basketball. Three of these men are H. E. Jones. E. A. Avant and H. C. Christian. Ed Jones, center, playing his first year of varsiiv basketball, shows promise of one crack basketball player in the seasons to come. Ed has played the full 40 minutes of every major game of the season. He is developing an uncanny ability to make shots from regions near the center circle. Ed Avant. a flashy little forward was high scorer of the team with a total of 151 points for the season. Avy is death on crips and shoots under pressure. H. C. Christian, lanky forward, with a world of form, played some very good basket- ball, especially on that Northern trip when the combination of Christian, Avant and Jones was developed. BASEBALL The members of thai crack nine are all such stars that there is no real outstanding player. Those bovs as I have told you in the baseball review, are all good. Hayes and Tucker, how- ever, are the most talked of by the fans. Hayes, as a pitcher, is truly an artist with the horsehide enveloped sphere, Hayes delivers in big league style, and can hit when a hit is needed. Tucker, at the keystone sack, is a ball player and that ' s that. This kid is the hardest hitter on the team and fields with all manner of ease AN ALL-ROUND ATHLETE lames O. ( Red ) Ellis is selected as the best all round athlete. Red goes in for all sports with a will and enthusiasm that makes him an athlete of the first water. He possesses amazing vitality, and a sincerity of purpose that finds him always persevering. And — he trains. Page One Hundred Tii ' o HALL OF FAME Price L.
