These young men. each with a recently awarded high school diploma safely tucked under his arm, had come from far and near in response to the vibrant knock of Opportunity upon the veiled door of Education. All during the day they continued to come and to join arms with those natural anxieties, seasoned with current expectation and college fever, had sent them to the campus many hours in advance of the designated time for regis- tration. Thus entered the class of 1936. eager from its beginning, upon the pages of the history of Johnson C. Smith University. Behind this class lay twelve years of previous training, ahead of it lay four years of anticipation, in its immediate path by brilliant records of many a prosperous Alumnus, as well as the history of some who were just ordinary. All these things were signal impressions upon the plastic minds of nearly four score college freshmen. The first official gathering followed on the 2 1st of September, at which time Professor R. L. Douglass. The Campus Philosopher. Mrs. H. L. McCrorey. and Dr. H. L. McCrorey, President of the Institution, welcomed the new students to the University and unveiled a huge block of educational marble, from which they were commissioned to carve a beautiful figure of mental, physical, and spiritual achievement. As each student stood and introduced himself, it is to be doubted whether he. or any of the older students and faculty members to whom he spoke fully realized that the institution into which he had enrolled was starting on a new era. With the Class of ' 3b. there came to the College the first regularly enrolled women students, whose Junior College work had been done at Barber Scotia Junior College. There were no co eds in the class, however, until its third season. Several weeks after its entrance, the class met to elect officers, and after many a piece of oratorical brilliance. Isaiah P. Pogue was selected to lead the class over its first milestone on experience, Charles 1.. Hamilton was chosen to write notes, and T. English Wilson was designated to keep the treasury of the class. With this leadership, the class moved forward at an alarming pace. All of the major organizations, with the exception of the Greek Letter Fraternities, held represen tatives of this class. At the end of the first semester, seven members had been placed on the scholastic honor roll, and at the end of the first year, at least one member had achieved a semester A average. Although heterogeneous from the beginning, the class functioned as a complete unit until late March of the first year. At this time came pledging to the various Greek Letter Fraternities, and the result was evident in four distinct factions, growing more distant every moment. Before a state of complete distraction was reached, the first milestone was reached, and the summer vaca- tion brought relief to the situation. In the fall of 1933. most of the original class returned. With them came a slightly larger assortment of women students, who like the first, entered the Junior Class. After three months of absence, factional differences were forgotten and again a seance was assembled to call leaders Page Tu. ' entii-three Ci)e 1936 15un A to the front. This time. Isaiah P. Pogue was reelected to presidency, while the task of note- taking was given to Moses A. Blair. T. English Wilson was given charge of monies for the second time. During the first semester of 19 ' 5 34, pledges were initiated into the various Fraternities and the element of difference was minimized. The football team, ihc basketball team, the Y. M. C. A., the Christian Leadership Preparatory Club. Mathematics, French, and Science Clubs all found valuable members from the sophomore class. At the end of the semester five persons were still on the Deans Honor Roll. During the second semester the class moved ahead more smoothly than the second semester of the first year. When the second milestone was reached and vacations began, another member had achieved the semester A rank. In September, lOH. about fifty members registered as Juniors. With them came the first women to the class, and in the first meeting of the class, officers were elected — one of whom was a co-ed. The head of the class went to Isaiah P. Pogue for the third time, while Mary Coles Shaw was chosen to scribble accounts of the meetings. Also for the third time. T. English Wilson was elected treasurer. The same activities of the sophomore year were continued, with the addition of several class members on the staff of the Univi-rsity Student. At the end of the first semester, the first and second and third highest ranking scholastic records belonged to members of the class. Toward the middle of the second semester, factional differences arose again, and this time threatened to do big things for a while. But time, the healer of all wounds, stepped in and the sore spots were eased. At the Junior Prize Oration Contest. OIlie A. Johnson, a co-ed of the class, made history in the Institution by being the first woman student ever to be awarded the Oratorical Contest Prize in the history of the University. In the fall of 1935. sixty members registered for the last milestone in the journey to a Bachelors degree. Reginald T. Hutchinson replaced Isaiah Pogue as president, and Moses A. Blair was chosen to write minutes. For the fourth consecutive year. T. E. Wilson was given charge of the finances. Just before the close of the firs! semester, factional differences, afrcr long smoldering, burst into flame again. This time, the whole machinery of the school was threatened, and all along the journey to the last milestone, the harmony of the group was never completely restored. At the end of the semester, the class had representatives in every organization on the campus for students, the two highest records of scholastic achievement were records of Seniors, who were also vieing for Summa Cum I.aude distinction at graduation. During this year the women ' s basketball team came into being, and several women ot the class were members of the team. Finally in a last burst for perfection, the class functioned as a good unit and crossed the last milestone, with the belief thai To the Victor Belongs the Spoils, Four years passed. Friends were made and lost, Diflicullies were braved and conquered. Foads were lifted and work was done. Whether this class is to be remembered or not is a matter that only time can solve. Whether this class has completeti its mission to carve a statute of intellectual perlection or not is letl lor the world to see and determine — but one thing is sure: Like the mit hni icjrriurs of Gog and Samothrace Tbvy may not hace curved Perfection ' s breast. But LChen uilh problems and tasks face to face. It IS an established truth — they did their best . . . — MOSLS BI..MR Secretary of Class. Page Tiventy-fui.

With these two motives functioning 100 9 ' the Bulls accomplished more than if they had won the championship. Although there is nothing to be regretted on the lower end of the scoring ranks winning is not the only viewpoint in athletics. Hav- ing won two games, lost four, and tied one, the Bulls closed a hard-fought season with hopes of redeeming themselves in the years following. Page Sixty-nine L Cbe 1936 IBuW FOOTBALL Those having played their last season of this well-loved sport will long be remembered by their team-mates, coaches, and spectators. C. P. Dusenbury. Captain, was very outstanding with his spectacular running and excellent driv- ing of his team as quarterback. Charles Talley and Claude Walker, tricky ends, proved themselves very efficient and were liked by all. J. T. Boyd, half- back, was very outstanding during his years of play and his spectacular run- ning and hard hitting won him a place among those of highest rank. With Abney and Manning in tackle only a strong wind could pass through them for they were known as stone walls. Now we come to Paul Wright and John Coles, guards, and did they guard! Nothing could keep them out of every play even after the games. I. P. Pogue. center, a 188-pound streak of light- ning, stopped everything that opponents had to offer. The undergraduate members of the squad who played very outstanding football the past season are: Willie Watt, halfback, a spectacular p layer from all angles: Haywood Robinson, fullback: O. G. Walker, quarterback: Albert White, center: Angus Corley, guard: Joseph Carr, end: Eddie Evans, tackle: Olin Pearson, guard: Walter Mills, halfback: C, A, Johnson, halfback: and Vernon Colbert, halfback. These men are expected to do great things when the whistle blows for their participation in anoiher season of man to man hard-fighting football. The graduating members of the squad will he greatly missed, but the golden Bulls will carry on to victory desjiite this handicap and u ' lll be praised far and wide.

Since this is the first team composed of girls that Smith has produced, it will go down in the history of the institution as one of the greatest achievements in sports. Because of a late start and playing only four games this season these young ladies were unable to accomplish their desired rank among the winning teams, but the final analysis proved them playing lOO ' i basketball considering the handicaps which we might say were inevitable. Bernice Blakeney. forward, won the admiration of all with her spectacular style of play. Sylvia Davis, forward, will long be remembered for her accuracy in shooting. Ruth HiUsman. forward, played a very unique style of basketball. Captain Benton at guard was very out- standing and as recorded no points were made over her. Norene Baylcss, another guard, won the admiration of all by playing real basketball. LaNelle Jackson, guard: Hattie Westbrook, guard.

Green Basketball competition as a whole was more evenly balanced as Smith won cighf and lost ei ht this season. The style of offensive play was skillful and interesting. The defense was an assigned man-to man in the main. In view of the comparatively recent changes to include the three-second rule, the writer believes that Smith successfully evaded the area outscoring their opponents 605 points to 585 points. Smith apparently had a second half ' rushing out on the court after tile hall giving a splendid exhibition of morals and comeback after a first hall slump usually to win or lose by a two or three-point margin. Individually. Wee Willie Watt at forward led the offense and the defense by running up a spectacular total of 65 field goals and 1 free throws. Captain liaton at forward and playing his last year possessed fine ability, spirit, and cooperation which will be missed next year. Manning at center displayed rare ability to make a regular berth on this year ' s squad. Boulwarcs alternative play at guard and forward presented the team with lock, stock, and barrel, for guarding ability and offensive drive. Other players of marked ability were Hutchinson, guard, with a very uniciue style of play: Hardy, a lad with a very spectacular one hand shot; Walker, with a point : Warner, alternative center, with a roving disposition: and Colbert with ambition. D. C. Greene, guard, graduated at mid term but left a record competing wilh the highest.

Take the two all important matters of cooking and refrigera- tion for instance. With all of its advantages of coolness, con- venience, the saving of time and labor, and other advantages, electric cookery costs no more than the old fashioned ways. And electric refrigeration, with all of its advantages over ordinary refrigeration, actually costs less — much less. Equally important, however, are the small household appli- ances — the vacuum cleaner, coffee percolator, the smoothing iron, washing and iron machines, the mi.xmaster and others.
