SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Charlls H. Williams Pn ' sident Lunelle Hart Secretury Anne E. Grier Treasurer Class Motto: We are InuUlerf, t f tnmorrow ' Class Colors: Pea Green ami White Class Flower: Gardenia HISTORY And denarling, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of Time. Flash! Flash! According to a recent hulletin. there will he an important meeting of the Senior Class of Johnson C. Smith University tonight at 8:00 P.M. in Biddle Memorial Hall. We repeat — The announcer ' s pleasing, penetrating voice proceeded to repeat the announcement, hut Anne Howard did not hear the announcement th-e second time. Her mind went fleeting hack over the sand of time to that day on September 14, 1942, when she first entered the portals of Dear ole Smith I ' niversity. She remembered well how. overwhelmed with pride and ecstasy, sh-c joined the gay noisy crowd in front of the Administration Building that morning. She remembered that the first person she met that day was a very charming, through demure, petite, and fragile girl from Hartford. Conn., how they hatl toured the campus, which had seemed the most beautiful sight they had ever seen, together; Vtiw they had attended (he theater i)arty togctV.-er; and how they had returned and registered together that afternoon. The buildings seemed the most impressive; the professors, the most wonderful; and of the other new studejits. the prettiest and most handsome they had ever seen. This was a gloricus day! ' It was not long, however, before they became accustomed to the wonders of tl ■eir new environment. It was not long before freshmen became participants, no longer observers, in the life about them. The first milestone was the electitm of officers for the class which was a-i follows: president, Claude X. Shropshire; vice-president, William Ezell; secretary. Allenstine D. Sparks; treasurer. William Johnson. The freshman representative; in dramatics were Allenstine I). Sparks and Cornell Powell; and in athletics. James Fisher. Cal Pass. Thomas Pogue. and Roger Foster. Thaddens Mmire received the citation for the highest average at the end of the freshman year, AH of this seemed as though it happened only yesterday. So vividly do the incidents of these years appear now. The class moved steadily upward. The guidance of the officers elected to serve during the sophomore term : president, Henry Holder; vice-president. I.unell Hart ; secretary, Catherine Richardson. The class of ' 46 felt the powerful influence of the destructive World War II, as several members including the brilliant Thaddeus Moore and Claude Shropshire departed to the services of the U.S.A. Many others took advantage of the accelerated education program. As the class president. Henry H. Holder, was one of the many to profit by this acceleration program, therefore th-e class finished the year utider the sup pi e nted these lo e introduced— the Gamma ma Delta Chapter of the to disintegrate as a tniit because of f sororities— the factor which acted as leadersVtp of Lunelle Hart.

Allenstine Sparks. Robert Beckham, and Cornell Powell, in perhaps the only factor indicating a junior class existence, availed themselves of tlie opportunity opened only to juniors — the Alumni sponsored Junior Prize Oratorical contest.
