Pnge Four GREETINGS TO CLASS OF 1948 I am happv to extend yreetint;s and yood wishes to the members ot the class of 1948. You represent potentialities for making a better world which is the obligation of e erv individual who has been blessed with the opportunity of rounding out a college educa- tion. I wish for vou further opportunities for growth and for useful service. It has been said that Opportunity knocks but once. This is a philosophy of fatalism. Instead of looking upon opportunity as a door knocker, it seems to be more e.xact to say that opportunity is a DOOR. As a door, opportunity may stand in three positions. The door may be wide open and can be entered with little effort. Again, the door may be shut, but nut locked. A courageous try at the knob will result in its opening. Then, the door may be closed and locked. But there are encouraging signs that the key to the locked dot)r may be had by the individual who is willing to fashion it for himself. Such a key cannot be bought at the locksmith ' s or the hardware store. It cannot be passed down from parent to child. It cannot be obtained through favor. It must be ' rought out and shaped by the strenuous efforts, and guarded by the character, of the individual who would possess it. Your Alma Mater has attempted to place at your disposal the materials, the ideals, and the guidance needed to fashion the key to some worthwhile door or doors of opportunity. Your Alma Mater shall strive to become increasingly strong as a place and environ- ment in which youth may wrought out the key to the doors of opportunity. Use your key unselfishly. Help others find the key to the door of opportunity. Teach hope to all . . . despair to none. Your Alma Mater shall welcome your return to the campus at any time. I shall per- sonally follow your careers with eager interest. Very sincerely yours, H. LisTON, President Page Five ADVISER Dear Seniors: You are about to graduate from an institution with a noble tradition. You are about to enter the world where vou will have many new and varied experiences. 1 hope the things you have learned here mav enable vou to adjust yourselves in the proper manner to life in this atomic world of ours. You will find this most difficult to do. I may sav that few voung people have been able in the last few years to do that, for as all know, one is not sure just what one will ha e to face tomorrow. Remember that one should have certain guiding principles in these times. You may call this vour philosophv of life if vou so desire. Remember that vou must make up your own mind about things. Decision is always better than indecision. Whether you go right or left mav make a big difference but decide one wav or the other. 1 linallv wish for ou health, happiness, and prosperity in all you undertake. Ma the blessings ol the Ciood Master be upon ou aKva s. Your friend, W. C. DoNNELL, Adviser Pii e Si.x DEAN OF THE UNIVERSITY GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1948: First of all I should like to congratulate each one of you upon reaching this stage in your development. You are now about to take your places as active responsible members of society. Hundreds of men and women have gone out from the Universitv before you, most of whom ha ' e set fitting examples for you to follow. We have alumni in all sections of the country and abroad doing their bit to make the world a better place in which to live. I could cite a long list of distinguished graduates who are carrying on in the ' arious pursuits of life. However, may I remind you of one whom you have known rather intimately during your four years here. He is one who has been so close to you that you may not fully appreciate the wonderful ex- ample he has set for you. I have reference to our own President Emeritus, Henry Lawrence McCrorey, one of our most distinguished graduates. For fifty-two years, he labored here at the University working hard to make possible the privi- leges that you have enjoyed during the past four years. What he has done has not been blazt)ned on the headlines of our daily papers and magazines. He has not traveled across the country os- tentatiously calling attention to his achievements, but on the contrary, he has gone about his work quietiv and in a Christ-like spirit, vet with courage and confidence. Exery year since his graduation from the Universitv, more than a half century ago, has been spent in some construc- tive endeavor. Many of you sat through the beautiful Recognition Service held for him in early fail and have read the volume of letters which came in from all over the country praising his achievements through the years. If fifty years after graduation you can point with pride to the life that vou have lived and the contributions that vou have made as he can, then, you will mea- sure up to the great heritage that has been left to you by the graduates who have gone on before. It is mv hope that as you go forth you will take God as your guide and the Bible as your constant companion so that in the last years of your life, you too will enjov the happiness and satisfaction that come from a rich and abundant life. Sincerely, T. E.-McKiNNEY, Dean Paae Sex ' en A SPONSOR Dr. Thomas A. Long Head vj Depiirt)iie)il of Suc ' iolooy PiiS,e Eiiilit THE SENIORS OF ' 48 Another milestone has been reached in your career. Many of the hopes and dreams that you have held dear for the past four years are beginning to (ipen up into new avenues. In a few days vou will be leaving the walls of this institution to go out into a world that needs you. A world that needs you to help reclaim it from its war torn thoughts and ideas and to rebuild it for stronger character and greater womanhood. As vou go out into this new avenue. may you render to your felluwmen the services that have been rendered to you. Many responsibilities will come and these must be met with courage, honesty, and faith. Regard it as your dutv to reclaim vour unfortunate brother and sister and set their destiny aright. The challenge is greater today than e er before. The world has under- gone many changes but the standard of character and womanhood have never changed. It is left to each individual to ee that they remain so. As you go forth into the fields of Hie, mav a major purpose be to serve wherever you are and to lift as you climb. Very sincerely vours. C. L. Ramseur, Dean of Women Dear Seniors; That vou will soon depart from these classic walls of Johnson C. Smith University gives me reason to write you this message. I hope that your lives have been enriched in all knowledge and wisdom and that you will go forth out ..f school-life into life ' s school girded for the strife.

The world ' s economic and social orders have collapsed. Old foundations of civilization that once seemed stable have been heaved and broken. Men and nations are confused and bewildered. Even leaders of the United Nations give us the impression thai they do not know the way. You stand at the crossroads. I ask vou the trite question, where do you go from here? ' No doubt that is a great unanswered Where vou may go I little care, but I am ly concerned that where you go, you will illustrate your lives 1 old life of great meaning once did, whose brief biography David served his own ange the sentence.

Speers, a great missionary, tells of an inscription he read on the walls of a little Toaist Temple high on a hill above a city in China, where there is an earnest beseeching there will be a sure reply. As I write my last and only message to you, that inscription becomes more real to me. I wonder if you will make a sure and adequate reply to the beseeching of this weeping world. rinally, my fellow students, be strong and courageous. Make ()ur lives fruitful, and when the going gets tough, as it surely will, do not lose faith, but gird your loins a little tighter and make a go of it. Therefore, I entreat vou to accept the challenge by the u-ill of God. Farewell, J. A. Grimes, Dean of Meu. ill of God to Paoe f ' nie TO THE SENIORS: I am happv to have this opportunity to greet yo i, the members of the graduating class of 1948. It is quite possible that no other group of young people in history has gone out into a world which demanded as much of them as your world demands of you. The harnessing of atomic energy for destruction has created a world which is surcharged with possibilities. It is a world which either tantalizes man into seeking some escape from the stern realities of life or urges him forward in search of a more promising path to salvation. However, it is yet to be proven that man ' s spiritual resources have been cultivated to the point where he can make the proper use of them in unifying the nations and races of the world under a common ideal great enough to embrace the efforts of all men. Even so, man has seldom, if ever, been faced with the urgency of so comprehensive a need for all of his potentialities to be converted into forces of good with the same genius and effort with which they were developed for destruction. The challenge before you, therefore, is to carry to that world a kind of leadership which will focus the powers of the earth into channels leading to the oneness of humanity, to a higher plane of living, to the relief of human suffering— physical and mental, and to a deeper meaning of life. ' hate ' er contribution you may make to society, you must remember that today as never before, it must be measured in the light of eternity. For the period in which we li%e is not one which belongs to any one age; it is rather, one which will serve as a focal point for determining the future of the human race. With a well-disciplined self, with a keen sense of world relatedness, with an unswerving desire to serve your fellowman, with unfaltering faith in the principles of democracy, and with supreme loyalty to the God of the universe, vou must forever strive for the more abundant life. My congratulations to each one of you. Cordially yours, Moses S. Belton The Members of the Senior Class of ' 48 My dear Members of the Class of ' 48: It is true that, in going forth to find your places in the world, you graduates ha e no experience, but you have an eager, hopeful outlook. It is true that you lack wisdom; but you have boundless courage and a capacity for industry. It is true that you do nut vet know the rules of the game; but you have a firm faith in high ideals. In more than one social order, history shows that the rules of the game have been modified or else completely revised by revolts springing from the fervent idealism of youth. If you have all these gifts to bring to the world, you graduates need not worry about your poverty in the matter of riper gifts. If, during your years of preparation, vou have learned how to work, how to concentrate on difficult problems, how to search for truth, and how to make steadfast friends, the riper gifts will come of themselves, just as soon as you learn to applv the lessons of your college life to the weightier problems of life. You shall learn this lesson faster if vou approach it with becoming humility and with due recognition of your limitations. Once you have mastered it, your capacity fur self-development and service to your fellow men will become a reality, instead of a nebulous dream of your undergraduate days.

After four years of strenuous work, ) ' 0U have completed the requirements for your Bachelor ' s Degree. This, however, does not mean that vour education is complete; far from it. You are only standing on the threshold of the door of knowledge with a master key in your hand. Will you use the key? If you do, you will find that you will emerge into a sunlight more genial than ' ou have e er known. The uneducated man is like a person groping aimlcssh ' in chaotic obscurity. Let your light so shine before men that they may sec your good works. Class of ' 48. let that light be the education acquired at this great institution; let it shine in the way of darkness to guide the feet of warring people into the way of peace. May God ' s richest blessings be upon 3 ' ou, and aid you in accomplishing this task. C. P. Banks, Jr. Editor-iti-Chicf of the Bull A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT All o er the countr the graduating classes of 1948 will be entering upon a continued career of education in the graduate or professional schools or in life experiences which will continue their education. Let us remember that education is not only a matter of books and of book-learning, but is more than these. Education is more than information. Self-sacrifice, co-operation and l() alt ' are required of us to make our li cs like a beacon in the darkness. We must alwa s remember the fi e P ' s— plain, purpose, per- sonality, principle and perse erance. These are the fi e fundamentals upon which our lives and achie ements should be based. It is onl natural that we will meet with difficulties, but we are sure to conquer them if we onh ' persexere. We join a great company of pioneers and trail blazers who have been turning the darkness into day in all the communities into which they have gone. We are resolved to make Johnson C. Smith proud of us and to make the world brighter, happier and more peaceful because of us. James A. Barrier Page Eighteen SENIORS Pa e Nineteen SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS J Iames a.

CLASS HISTORY In September, nineteen hundred and forty-four an eaoer roup of voung men and women in aded the campus of Johnson C. Smith University. For many of us this was to he our domicile for the major portions of the next four years. To all of us, our arrival at Johnson C. Smith University was a dream come true. After receiving our various assignments, we found college life here some- ' hat different than what we had anticipated. We were confronted with the problem of adjustina ourselves to this new environment and new people. All of us created during this time friends who were to be our constant companions in the subsequent years. After a period of six weeks the class of 1948 held its first official meeting and elected the following of- ficers: President— Jessie Stepp, Vice-President— W illiam Bowers, Secretary— Georgetta Merritt, and Treasurer— Charles Brown. Student Council repre- sentati es elected later in the year were Marguaret Keller, E a M. Green and William Bowers. A large percentage of our class was ery acti ' e in the various campus clubs and organizations. The ten highest ranking students at the end of the first semester included the following members of our nresent class: Eva M. Green, Charles A. Brown, Hazel Taylor, Eddie Mullens and Stanford Withers. Before commencement many of our class- mates had entered ' arious branches of the Armed Forces. Our sophomore year vitnessed the official end of the second World ar, howe er, many more of our classmates had answered the Call of the Colors before the collapse of the power-bent tyrants. Officers elected for our class in the year nineteen hundred and forty-five were: President- William Bowers, Vice-President— Theodore Neelev, Secretary— E a M. Green, Treasurer— James Roberts. Under the guidance of our presitlent, we completed the year a smaller but more determined class. With the complete cessation of hostilities during the vacation, we returned to our dear Alma Mater in September of 1946 and welcomed to our midst many former members of previous classes who had recently returned from the war. Class officers for our junior year were: President— Thomas Mon- roe, Vice-President— Theodore Neelev, Secretary- E a M. Green, Treasurer —Fred D. McLeod, Jr. The most outstanding accomplishment of our junior year was the sponsoring of the Junior-Senior Prom. Our last year of matriculation was marked with anxiety and anticipation as we solemnly awaited our last assembly as the Class of nineteen hundred find forty-eight. Officers for our final year were: President- James Barrier, Vice-President— Robert Richardson, Secretary— Mrs. Bertha Robinson, Treasurer— C. Pittman Banks, Jr. As we stand on the threshold of our later-life, we pause to pay grati- tude to those who ha e labored with us through the years. Your guidance and advice will serve as a foundation for our subsequent achievements. Pa e Thirty-six CLASS WILL 1948 We, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-eight beino about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well wishers, the faculty only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all dignity and pomp our situation in the college scale has merited. As to our estate as it has pleased the fates and our strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Item: We give and bequeath to the faculty restful nights and peaceful dreams. We promise tfiem a res t from nineteen hundred and forty-eight petitions. No more will we be called upon to bend our haughty knee to supplicate; no more will they be pained to refuse. It has been hard to have our fondest wishes thwarted; it must have been hard for them to refuse so fair a pleader. Ihev have done their duty, and they have their reward. But o. k.! how much easier it would have been tor them and for us if they had said yes, especially to senior privileges, and seats at the Lyceum. fomf ' Vtr d bequeath to our best beloved and cherished sister, nineteen hundred and urty-nine, all the wealth of love and blessings she may want. She seems to be able to get every- thing else unaided The football and basketball championships are hers. May our mantle fall completely on her shoulders. We will waste no time in giving to one who seems very able to get. Item: V ' e give to the freshman class the following advice, accepting which will lead them to glory; copy nineteen hundred and forty-nine; learn to work if not to win; development comes sooner through bearing failures than successes. It isn ' t fun, but still look at nineteen hundred and torty-nine and be encouraged. Item: The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed estates, to which we do declare the Class ot nineteen hundred and forty-nine as the real and rightful successors: 1st. The Senior Class is in a very unusual financial condition, $1.00 in the bank. The work the worry and the glory are now in other hands. Perhaps the most valuable of all this list will be fou nd to be the senior refinement. How the list lengthens; ne.xt comes the senior dignity which is always handed over to the new- made lords of the college world. We are afraid that this will be a strain upon the nerves and muscles ot the gay and debonair juniors, but all hope they will rise to the occasion, as they sometimes can. ' Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must oive our course in seiiior ethics-and let me say that ethics is a study where you learn that lots of things that vou once knew, are not so. Beside these enforced gifts we leave, not of necessity but of our own free will, our blessing and a pledge of friendship from henceforth. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature kind and quality soever it may be, and not herein before disposed of (after paying our debts and funeral e.xpensesj, we give and bequeath to our president, for his use and benefit absolutely. And we do hereby constitute and appoint (our president) Dr. Liston sole executor of this out last will and testament. In witness whereof, we the class of 1948, the testators, have to this our will, written on parchment, set our hand and seal, this second day of June, Anno Domini 1948. Norma Y.

Scattered throuahout its manv phases are the gold and blue colors of Smith. 1 hese colors are beino borne b - strapping, voung, inexperienced but determined athletes. Moving along hand in hand with these Smith men are hundre ds of cheering, loval, enthusiastic students, alumni and friends. Men wearing helmets with brightly colored, thickly padded uniforms and heavy cleated shoes have moved on out of sight. While this group was in front of the viewing stand, the banner of Smith rose once in ' ictory to eight defeats. However, all contests were packed with thrills; and the fight to win displayed by Smith ' s team won the administration of opposing teams and the fans alike. Coming into view now are scanty dressed men dashing around at break- neck speed on hardwood flooring. Good fortune has already come to Smith ' s team seven times and indications are that rapture shall as this group moves along. These victories haxe been matched by six defeats, but the team is made up almost entirely of freshmen and sophomores and with continued impro ' ement in performances there is e ' ery reason to happily look forward to bigger and better things from this group in next vear s parade. Just behind the float carrying the basketball players is a float with a boxing ring on it. And in the ring, just as with floats that have already passed, may be seen athletes representing Smith, which is characteristic of every real Smith backer, is exemplified by the pugilists.
