The Bull Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-One VOLUME IV w, m k k m Published by the Student Body of Johnson C. Smith University, Under the Auspices of the Junior Class CHARLOTTE, N. C. ....... ....... e jr. ?fh- m iJ The Foreword THE task to which we have dedicated ourselves in the pages that follow is not to be thought of lightly, nor has it been assumed by us that it was one of little responsibility. For to us has been given the sacred privilege of recording for ourselves and posterity a com- plete episode in the life of a great institution, of enthroning upon the pedestal of time a statue to the measureless joys of youth and the incalculable benefits of a college life. To our brothers in the bonds of Smith who have gone on before — these pages must reawaken in you memories which are at once, bitter and sweet, happy and sad. To those of us who yet remain within these sacred portals — they must bring the realization that we are heirs to a fortune which is immune alike to the ravages of time and the avarice of man. To you who must come after us — may they serve to instill in your hearts that love for our school that must characterize the life of every true Smith man. So with a full consciousness of the enormity of our task we have approached it with that respect to which it is entitled. We have pursued our several duties diligently, to the end that the 1931 BULL may truly depict the 1931 Smith. How well we have succeeded is for you. who through change or intent peruse these pages, to judge. From the 1931 Bull staff there is no apology, we have done our best. Dean Theophilus E. McKinney Dedication IN grateful admission, sincere appreciation, and hearty congratulations for the work accomplished in the making of Johnson C. Smith University a more thorough insti- tution of learning, a more distinct landmark in the field of Negro education, we the staff of the 1931 BULL respectfully dedicate this, the culmination of our efforts, to Dean Theophilus E. McKinney. Page Nine ■ The Dean ' s Message As we peruse the pages of this book we look into the faces of red-blooded American men. Men who repre- sent the ambitions and the hopes of many anxious mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sweethearts, relatives and friends. Here at Johnson C. Smith University men enjoy the association and contact of the best minds in their genera- tion. This association is inestimable. All of them are in college during the same generation. In the same generation they will labor and in the same generation they will pass off the scene of action. No matter in what section of the country one of these men may go after spending four years here, he will find some one there who knows him either personally or indirectly. So long as these men live they will enjoy genuine friendships that were formed during their college days. This institution is Christian. Here students have an opportunity to deepen their spiritual lives. The chief aim is to instill in those who are permitted to enter, those basic qualities that make for the best and highest in manhood and citizenship. The great hope of the faculty is that each man will reflect in his daily life the principles for which the institu- tion stands and for which it is so faithfully and prayerfully laboring. 4 t 4(i ' M i ml IK H % REV.

He em- bodies all the good qualities that the fair ones could desire in a young prince Charming. Bloody is a good student. It requires very lit- tle study for him to do well in his studies.

We ' ve often wondered how it is possible for an ordinary person to talk as much as Brer does, but after getting better acquainted with him we discovered that it makes very little difference to him whether he actually has something to say or not.

The Class of 1931 of Johnson C. Smith University, claiming full health of body and mind and believing ourselves absolutely capable of making provisions for the future disposition of all our worldly belongings, do declare this our last Will and Testament and render null and void any wills by us at any time heretofore made. Such accumulations and estate as it has pleased kind fate to bestow upon us we dispose of as follows: It is our wish that all expenses incurred through our burial services be met by the money that we were to have received from home but never did. Our beloved parents shall be the recipients of our heartfelt congratulations that they are at last rid of a troublesome proposition; one which has been the cause of many days of labor and great sacrifice — for which unselfish cooperation and needful assistance do we on this day arrange for a conscientious endeavor to so shape our hereafter that it will cause their old age to be a period of joy and contentment. To our dear Alma Mater, that has so effectively served humanity during the three score and four years of its existence, we on our departure make the following pledge: That so long as it remains Johnson C.

Smith University. This year was no exception to the rule and as it closes we note that the bone of contention has been gnawed clean by the Smith debaters and their opponents. In the discussions this year every possible effort was made to choose subjects that are instructive and interesting to the debaters and audience. A consideration of the questions discussed reveals the fact that this object was approximated to a very marked degree. I mi THE UNEMPLOYMENT QUESTION From the economic condition that has prevailed throughout America and other capitalized countries during the last twenty months, and from the unfavorable criticism that has been made against the present system of production, and the claim made by persons — who are more or less socialistic in their views — that this cap italized system of industry is responsible for these alternating periods of acute unemployment, the question evolved. Resolved: That the present unemployment situation is an inherent weakness in the capitalistic system. THE INDIAN QUESTION Persons who are interested in international affairs cannot help but notice the agitated condition of India. The Nationalistic move- ment — the passive resistance or Soul Force used by Mahatma Gandi — in defiance of certain British laws has certainly presented a Page Seventy-one new and delicate problem for England to solve. From this situation evolved the question. Resolved: That India should be granted com- plete independence. BLUEFIELD— SMITH The debating season opened i for Smith ) on Friday evening, February 24, 1931, with Smith appearing at Bluefield Institute. Bluefield. West Virginia. The unemployment question was us_ ' d in this discussion. Mr. W. H. Parries. Mr. R. M. Smith and Mr. W. H. Gray of Bluefield Institute upheld the affirmative, while Mr. E. C. Grigg. Jr.. Mr. M. H. Boulware and Mr. S. H. Travis spoke for Johnson C. Smith on the negative. This debate was very interesting as well as instructive. This was a non-decision debate. LINCOLN— SMITH On February 4. 1931, Johnson C. Smith appeared at Lincoln University and upheld the affirmative of the proposition. Resolved; That the present unemployment situation is an inherent weakness in the modern capitalistic system. Mr. E. C. Grigg, Jr., Mr. M. H. Boulware and Mr. S. H. Travis were the speakers for Smith. Lin coin was represented by Mr. F. A. Decosta. Mr. Desumee Johnson and Mr. H. T. Cromwell. Lincoln was given the decision in the contest and thus avenged herself for last year ' s defeat by Smith. WILBERFORCE— SMITH On March 21. 1931. Johnson C. Smith will be visited by Wilberforce University. This intersectional contest is expected to be very interesting. II PENTAGONAL LEAGUE For several years Smith has been a member of the Pentagonal Debating League. The proposition to be us;d by the League this year is. Resolved; That India should be granted complete independ- ence. Smith opponents this year are Knoxville College at Johnson C Smith and Talladega College at Talladega, Alabama. SOUTH CAROLINA STATE— SMITH The annual neutral-ground debate between State and Smith will be held this year at Charleston. S. C. The proposition to be used is, Resolved; That India should be granted complete inde- pendence. DEBATERS ' CLUB Debating at Smith is controlled by the Debaters ' Club. Mem- bership into the club is granted only by competitive tryouts held not later than the first of November of each year. Contestants that show ability in the preliminaries are accepted into the club, and from the Debaters ' Club the members of the various teams are chosen. If m m I % I mi FACULTY COMMITTEE ON DEBATE G.

The express purpose of this organization was the production of plays suited to a Little Theatre group on as systematic a basis and in as business like manner as possible. Accordingly, the group began work on two one-ac plays, a comedy ( The Pot Boiler ) and a tragedy ( Your Fiery Furnace ) Under the leadership of W. F. Fletcher. 11. Stage Designer, and J. D. Powell 12. and E. R. Dudley. 12. Stage Managers, the scenery for both plays was built entirely by the group. The first milestone in the theatrical career ot the group was reached on December 12. 1910. when, under the directorship of E. C. Grigg. Jr.. ' 12. and Thebaud Jeffers. 11. respectively, the Pot Boiler and Your Fiery Furnace were presented in Biddle Memorial Hall. The Little Theatre class is at present preparing for production, a four-act tragedy Justice by John Galsworthy. Present plans call for a short tour before the presentation oi the play on the University campus in the late spring. Pa u Sevi m %i Page Seventy -seven Y. M. C. A. Cabinet JOHN L. POWELL President W.

College fraternities have been the special develop- ments of the college and university life of the United States and Canada. Relationships may be noted with the fraternal organizations and the convoca- tions of the Middle Ages and with the corps of German universities in the modern period. The underlying basis for their organization is found in two fundamental attractions for youth through all the ages: the comradeship which youth craves and finds for itself; and the spirit of high idealism which youth has been ever willing to follow.

Martin Baseball Iff Pag On Hun t m m The football season of 19 30 presents an enigma to Smith that will prob- ably never be solved. Exactly the same material which won positive success in the previous season, strengthened by a few men of ability, and coached under almost the same conditions, was unable to make a record to approach that of the preceding year. The season was a mystery. There was an element some- where which conceived failure— an element which some attempted to attribute to the coaching, others to a lack of training, others to factions among the players, and still others to different causes or a combination of causes. That there was an element of failure was evident; its true nature was concealed. In the opening game of the season against North Carolina State College, Smith won. under the flood lights of Durham. North Carolina, by a 13-7 score. Her supporters expected a walk away. The next game with Virginia State College ended in a 6-6 tie. This game was a surprise as a defeat had been predicted by many followers. Then followed in rapid succession a 0-0 tie with South Carolina State. On November first, a slight reaction set in. and Smith, through pure determination, won over Virginia Seminary, 6-0. Fisk University swamped the Bulls by a 21-7 score, the following Satur- day in Nashville, Tennessee, while only a week later the Bulls journeyed to Greensboro. North Carolina, to be content with a 0-0 tie with A. « T. College. The final defeat of the season was administered by Lincoln University in our annual Home Coming game. The 6-0 score indicates an interesting combat. Finally, on Thanksgiving, in Salisbury. North Carolina, eleven Smith men. with a record of doubt behind them, almost balanced that debit of ties and defeats, and contributed their part in probably the greatest chapter of the Smith-Livingstone Classic for many a moon. In a post season game, in Asheville. North Carolina, the Bulls subdued a fighting Knoxville College eleven by a score of 13-7. The season remains a mystery. Red Ellis. Frank Bogle and John Massey were the stars of the season. Many members of the team will receive their degrees in June, including Beef Martin and Red Ellis, two exponents of all that football can expect. A wealth of material is still on hand. What will be made from it remains to be seen. Page One Hundred Nine The basketball season is almost a repetition of the football story. Material was abundant, composed of the previous year ' s five, all the scrubs and a few new candidates. A handicap was encountered at the beginning of the season, as five first string men were banned from opening games on account of scholarship difficulties. Later in the season these men were reinstated as a result of semester examinations only to be discharged by the cage mentor. As a result of this action. Captain Avant. Tucker and Gillard were the only vets left to bolster the squad through a heavy C. I. A. A. schedule. Avant led his team in scoring, while Mitchell. Tucker and Gillard helped bear the brunt of the burden through an indifferent season.

A. competition. There was only one defeat recorded in the confer- ence, but the abundancy of tie games, and two non-conference set backs, sent the Bulls a far distance down the percentage column. The team was well balanced with no outstanding stars as of the season of 1929. Bogle at guard was again chosen on the All-American and as well placed on the All-C. I. A. A. first team. Bogle ' s work at guard was far below the standard, however. Jonnie was a terror in the eyes and minds of opposing linemen. Red Ellis was placed on the second CIA. A. All-Star eleven as well as second All-Southern. A hard plunging back was discovered in Massey who had played end heretofore. Hog Bear ran hard and low. being largely responsible for most of the ground gaining of the backs. Red Williams, veteran triple threat, was off form at times, with occa- sional flashes of his uncanny broken field running. Beef Martin with the responsibility of captain and field general did not share in the spot light, but gave his best in the directing of the team from the signal barking position. The passing of the thirty season marked the close of the career of many loyal grid warriors. Among these stars slated to pass in June are-: Jack Beef Martin. Chic Walker. Jeff Henry. Ed Jones. Hog Bear Massey. Mon Gillard. Prof Foulkes. Red Williams and Red Ellis. It will be hard to fill the shoes of these stars each of whom has at one time or another shared the spot light of the sporting arena Avant. flashy Bull forward, again led the squad in individual honors, while Gillard and Mitchell were important cogs in the cage machinery. We can only offer our prediction as to the outcome of the National pastime season. The squad is engaged in daily workouts, ironing out kinks in preparation for the season opening, which will be played after we have gone to press. The aces in person of Walker. Williams, LJlis. Lindsay. Massey. Ramseur. Biggs. Dunn and McDowell are all in the bull pen. along with a wealth of new material to choose from. We feel safe in predicting a champion conference team this season.
