� THE 1943 LION DOE THE 1943 LION Published by the SENIOR CLASS LINCOLN UNIVERSITY PENNSYLVANIA Editor: Wm. Beverly Carter, Jr. FOREWORD Editor's Note: H. A. B., as he is known lo his many friends here al Lincoln, slands os Exhibit A for fhe new experiment conducted by the '43 Lion. Heretofore, all such messages were written by members of the staff. This issue, however, departs from tra- dition and gives a friend and a distinguished alumnus the privilege of presenting its Fore- word. For you, Jones-Quartey, we are eternally proud, and we wish for you nothing but the best that this country and your country can give. W. B. C. I asked my friend the Editor of this beck, what I thought was in itself a very great favor. Not only did he grant my request, but he expanded it into this, the most unusual honor ever be- stowed by one incumbent upon a former office- holder, in he realm of college yearbooks. The more pleased and proud I am, since the little I've seen of Bev Car- ter's book, so far, convinces me that it is going to be a wonderful edition, a terrific edition, of THE LION- in short, almost as goed an edition as that of '42! It is a fascinating thought, and one which gives me- the creeps! . But let it pass. College graduating classes are getting progressively smaller these days, in inverse proportion to the progressive largeness of the war. Nor is there anywhere in sight an end to this trend. The maelstrom in which we are all thus caught is testing again, but in a way never before witnessed, the moral foundations of man's world. And no amount of flirtation with truth or mere lip-service to ideals will suffice to save those foundations for our posterity. We college men have therefore a duty to perform. First, we must believe that our world CAN be saved. Secondly, we must realize our own vital part in the process of salvation. And lastly, we must have confidence in ourselves and faith in the future. H. A. B. JONES QUARTEY, Editor. 1942 LION. 4 DEDICATION WE, THE Seniors oi a true war class, dedicate this issue to those of us who have gone to do battle with the enemy. Our fondest hope is that they not only bring back a Victory, but also a Peace based on “Liberty and Equality for all men.

THE 1943 LION THESE are the men who toiled, while some slept-thought while others played—and went weary-eyed to the classes in which their bright-eyed classmates excelled. They deserve much credit for a job that is, by all considerations, well done. The Staff is particularly indebted for the splendid work performed by the E. R. C.'ers, Raull- erson, Browne, and Johnson. These men worked unselfishly before their departure, and to them we throw many bouquets. The Staff, however, reserves some of its praise for the pinch-hitting job that Associate Editor Cannon performed in the wake of the above-mentioned men. His advice and actual work eased many of the burdens which fell on the shoulders of the Editor. To the whole Staff, I give my sincere thanks for your never-ceasing cooperation. I shall never forget you, nor should our classmates, who must be grateful to you for your untiring effort. BEVERLY CARTER.... GEORGE CANNON... HAROLD PIERCE.... ROSCOE BROWNE.... DANIEL JOHNSON....

The fires of war lighted at your entrance spread more and more widely. You watched it first from the sidelines as the flames extending steadily and ever creeping nearer at last engulfed the whole world. Through the mists of the present you peer into the future. Now the duty to struggle, to fight lies at your door. Our hope is that the effort may not be in vain, that the fundamental issues may be kept to the fore in the war and in the peace, of human rights, of ordered liberty and the dignity of men of all races and creeds. May you go out in hope and confidence and in the determination to do your part as men to hasten the longed- for age of lasting peace and human opportunity. May you have the faith to see through the darkness the dawn- ing beams of a new and better day. 7 Waller L. Wright. DR. FRANK T. WILSON Dean of Men YOU come to the close of your undergraduate careers in what may prove to be the crucial year in world history. During this period we are witnessing what has been described as a world revolution against civilization. Everything that free men cherish is at stake. All the gains of the centuries in the arts, the sciences, and social organization are imperiled by destruc- tive forces at home and abroad. Even the right to live with decency and self-respect is denied to large sections of the human race. Every hope that one entertains and every plan that one makes must be projected against the backdrop of these stark and staggering facts. A world map drawn to new dimensions hangs before the eyes of every human being alive today. Our thinking and our ideas about professional usefulness must be global rather than local or national. Our sympathies must include the peo- ples of Berlin and Calcutta, Moscow and Monrovia as well as the share-cropper in Mississippi and the steel worker of Pittsburgh. Our demands for liberty and justice and security must be limited by no considerations Pf race, sex, or creed. All men everywhere shall experience a new birth of freedom or a new and more deadly enslavement shall encompass the earth. How will the men of '43 attempt to influence the course of world events? The right to choose what you may do is temporarily restricted. In the distribution of man- power may you have the good fortune of being located where your knowledge and skills can put to good use. In such choice as you will be free to make may you realize that the quality of a man's performance is the most trustworthy measure of his value to his generation. Times will continue to be difficult and standard of achievement will be raised in all areas of human en- deavor. There will be no escape from the necessity of hard work and straight thinking. I trust that you may have the privilege of devoting your energies to the creative and constructive efforts of mankind, and that you will keep the faith with those of your generation who had no choice but to serve the cause of death. May their dying and your living give birth to a finer existence for all of the oppressed and down-trodden peoples of the earth. As we go forward we cannot forget the things upon which our hearts are fixed nor shall we betray one another as we remember those wonderful days at Lincoln when we discovered our eternal kinship in hope and purpose. Sincerely yours, Frank T. Wilson. FOR the conditions of the time in which they must live, some men scorn their fathers; others cringe in their cowardice before grim responsibility; still others dismiss the whole with the cynic's shrug. But you are thinking men who have learned to temper emotion with rea- son. Therefore, despite the consequent blighting of your personal ambitions, you are willing to assume the responsibility thrust upon you by your time: to share with the world's brotherhood the task of rescuing mankind from the degra- dation of slavery. In so doing you take your rightful place in the world as men among men. Since you are willing to share this task, may the fire of war purge your souls of scorn, cynicism, and cowardice. The world of tomorrow will have need of tolerance, faith, and courage. Without tolerance, faith, and courage, that world will be as shackled as our world of today. And if it does not free itself of intolerance, greed, and fear, the supreme sacrifice you must make now will have been made in vain. Hence, as you defend with your blocd the world's heritage of freedom, may you vow to share fully the responsibilities and privileges of that freedom in the world of tomorrow—a freedom which must germinate from an unreserved recog- nition of man's brotherhood in God the Father. Any compromise would not become you as men. 9 Waters Turpin. FACULTY Walter L. Wright. LL.D A.B. and A.M..

It is unquestionable that within the Class of 1943 there are interest- ing men—some are great, others. . ., but all are interesting. Hence we record a few of their mistakes, their sins, their glories. Enjoy with us the fun we poke at ourselves, praise with us the noted achievements of our classmates, and hearken unto the tramp of our marching feet as we take on the burdens of life and grapple with destiny. 14 Seniors 15 MARSHALL ALLEN Coatesville, Pa.

The Student Council has been since the day of its organization, March 28, 1916, the guardian and promoter of all that concerns the honor and morals of the University and student body. It is the duty of this organization to propagate the extension of all matters and concerns that tend in any way to corrupt and destroy the progressive development and general wefare of the institution and the students therein. These eleven young men, elected by their respective classes, serve as members of the Council for a period of one academic year after which time each is eligible to succeed himself and shall hold his seat until his successor qualifies. The students who form the Council represent the finest obtainable from the student body with respect to character and scholastic averages. 46 THE LINCOLNIAN THE official publication of the Lincoln University student body.

The same clever moves that were executed by Alexander the Great were employed by them quite by accident sometimes, but nevertheless em- ployed. These men sit for hours and ponder over one move -they study attacks for days; truly they prove, patience brings its own reward. BETA KAPPA CHI Beta Kappa Chi is a national scientific honorary group. It is composed of students who have reached and maintained outstand- ing scholarship and achievement in their sci- ence courses. Started on this campus in 1924, it has grown to be one of our means of honoring students throughout Negro colleges. ‘The purpose for which this corporation is founded is to promote intercourse and friend- ship among university and college men and to support and stimulate the study of all branches of the sciences. LIBRARY STAFF Dr. A. O. Grubb and his capable assistants perform what might be really called a thank- less task. The “Lion takes this occasion then to thank them for all of the lifts, no matter how large or small, they have given us here on campus. WISSENSCRAFT VEREIN To those who persevere, the end is well worth the journey. These men are the physiologists, bacteriologists, physicians, and surgeons of the coming era. They constitute a nucleus of sound thinking, science ma- jors, who thrive in Science Hall and scoff at the grotesqueness of the Bunkum build- ing. Their aim is to create an interest in the sciences and to keep abreast of the times by delving into the journals available in our campus library. Y. M. C. A. CABINET The Y. M. C. A. Cabinet was formed with a definite view toward the facilitation, promo- ion, and maintaining of the true ideals of the Young Men's Christian Association in the minds of the Lincoln University students. It has been the yearly function of the Y Cabinet, through student exchanges, forums, and periods of Christian worship, to acquaint the student body with the real spirit of student Christian association. This all-important organization offers re- markable opportunities for a broader outlook on the Christian and social aspects of a chang- ing world and takes the initiative in the de- velopment of student leaders. PHILOSOPHY CLUB Only the members of this profound group can inform us whether their purpose is to delve into the philosophies of Demosthenes, Socrates and his cohorts, or to meet during the long winter evenings for those delightful tete-a-tetes over the crackers and demi-tasse. Whatever their purpose, certainly no college boasting a Liberal Arts curriculum can afford to be minus these rhetorical paraphrasers. THE VARSITY CLUB OFFICERS WILLIAM BURNETT..........President EDWARD MADDOX... Vice-President WESLEY JOHNSON...........Secretary MARSHALL ALLEN...........Treasurer The Varsity Club has for many years been comprised of students who have merited the much coveted L.” Their valiant achieve- ments on the gridiron or on the court are sup- plemented by equally meritorious work in the classrooms. Fostering the morale that lends to sportsman- like conduct on and off the playing fields, these men are the essential factors of a whole- some and complete college life. THE STUDENT INSTRUCTORS We are proud to say that in all fields there are men who, because of their outstanding ability and scholastic achievement, desire to impart unsellishly the knowledge they have culled from careful preparation. Termed Profs” by the rabble, they are always willing to give a bit of personal guid- ance to a Wanderer.” Often their duties are not restricted to the classrooms or labora- tories, but also reach the confines of the dorms at any hour of the night. 50 ALPHA PHI ALPHA OFFICERS PAUL W.

Epsilon Chapter takes particular pride in itself for it was the torch-bearer that was to light the way for all succeeding chapters in the East.

For the first time since our Prep year we had seen visions of coming out on top. We had the team, we had the spirit—the O. D. T. had the means of transportation. The result was a cut schedule of five games, only three of them C. I. A. A. The day was beautiful. Everything was conducive conducive to a Morgan victory. True, we welcomed them to the campus, but they ran all over the place— especially the football field. Burnett, Chamberlain, Oves and Maddox were like midgets. Understand, no apologies, but when those General Grants rolled up a total of 43-0 we cried. Even the clouds cried. In fact, it rained so hard that the Bears couldn't score any more. The one trip made was to Wilberforce. We scored first, we made more first downs. And those off-guard dashes of clipper Williams were murder. The reports said we outplayed them. The score said they won, 13-6. The Grads were here for the Hampton game. A few of their friends came with them. Everyone had a good time, including Hampton. We made thirteen points, they made thirteen points. And then came Dover! The game was played in Wilmington. Burnett ran and kicked his way to immortal fame. The team was inspired. The newspaper “note Dover had received was disproved. They had some good boys, but their line had too many holes in it. The Lion really shook his mane that day. Thirty-four roars and one tiny sting from the Hornet. Howard? Twenty to six. And no trouble, except collecting bets. All-Negro- American Oves went out in a blaze of glory. Usry got into the game and immedi- ately headed for a touchdown. Burnett and Clipper told him not to bother—no need to overdo the thing. The Alma Mater was SUNG. The season ended. 60 COACH MANUEL RIVERO CAPTAIN WILLIAM BURNETT RALPH OVES JAMES USRY EDWARD MADDOX 61 Front Row. left to right: Cooper, Chamberlain, Burleigh, Long, C. Johnson. Back Row: Smith, Holder, Johnson, Usry, Accoo, Gentry, Parker. BASKETBALL fTlHE spice of the second semester was the Basketball season. There were fifteen A encounters, ten of them victories. Now, we think this was pretty good, but the C. I. A. A. doesn't think the way we do. Anyway, the story goes like this: We had a couple of practice games, one with Lukens Steel and one with Fort du Pont. They weren't any trouble at all, merely warm-ups for Hampton. But if you're interested, the scores were 54-27, and 74-15. But then we went to Hampton, 45-46! That's the kind of thing that breaks a man down: losing by one point, and in an extra period, too. Captain Usry was high scorer with 17 points and you should have seen him. Big Jim really bossed basketball. On the way home we stopped off at Camp Pickett. Saw quite a few of the old boys like Bob Engs and Lieutenant Harris. And those Yardbirds were tough to handle. They beat us, 39-17. Coach Rivero decided we needed a lot more practice, so he had us play Lukens Steel again. Everybody was on! The score ended 66-25 in our favor. And, well, we'll just skip the second game with Fort du Pont. At 64-27, who wouldn't feel sorry for the guys. Ever hear of St. Ann's? Well, we played 'em. And those babies were gocd. That captain of theirs never touched the ball unless he sank a spot shot. The boys couldn't get on to their way of playing at first. Really do believe if we'd had a couple more seconds we would have caught that advantage they had on us. Oh yes, the score was 45-50. The next game was with Dover State, but it really wasn't 62 JAMES L. USRY Captain a game, 70-30. It was murder. The rabble was disappointed, we won so easily. The Fort Mifflin game was a spy game. But we got some good practice for Morgan. And what a game that was. Jim and the boys went wild. Coach Hurt was really hurt. That Usry boy was like a tank charging up the floor. And Accoo just spotted all night long. That boy Smith from Morgan did pretty well for him- self too. If it hadn't been for him the score would have been more than 52-48. Ever hear of a spy? Well the rabble sure got on Engs when he showed up with the Camp Pickett team for our return match. Uncle Sam's boys are pretty consistent. They don't need sights to shoot well, not the way they were making those baskets. They outshot us, 48 -40. And then came Howard! Sure we beat 'em, 69-56. Usry made 18 points; Accoo made 18; Hedges of Howard made 21. And then the Bugle blew!! The E. R. C. left and with it Jim, Gentry, Accoo, and Cooper. Might as well have said the whole team. And we had two more im- portant games. Well, we won the Dover State game, 57-46. But Morgan and How- ard were yet to come. Daniels, and Rudy and Claude and Parker they were in there trying but the E. R. C. licked us. Morgan won. We could stand that. Bui Howard won, too. The first limo in over six years we lost anything to those guys. But it happened, 62-46. 63 BOXING AND WRESTLING TEAM COACH BENNY KING was confronted with the problem of drainage of experi- enced material to the armed forces during the entire Wrestling and Boxing season. However, with the assistance of Nelson Higgins, he developed a repre- sentative team. Among the pugnacious and pretzel bending” participants of the Cauliflower Club were the never-to-be-forgotten Chuggy” Johnson, One Riff Hall, Nelson Henry, and Lauriston O'Connor. Their initial meet was with the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A., from which they secured valuable experience and confidence. It was at the C. I. A. A. Tournament that the group revealed the effects of the fine conditioning and training that they had received. Boxing and Wrestling crowns were won by the following men: Perry, 121 pounds Boxing Title Arrington, 135 pounds- Boxing Title Abramson, 145 pounds- Boxing Title Montier, 165 pounds- Boxing Title Snead, 121 pounds Wrestling Title TENNIS IT RAINED and then the breezes blew, oh so very hard—and finally one day the gods smiled, the sun shone brilliantly—for nearly five hours, but then the elements took over again. This whole time Walt Levy, Mike Moore, Lincoln Pope, Hoss Brooks, Cromwell Douglas, Bev Carter, and Prep Jenkins cooled their heels patiently waiting for some break in the weather. Would it come? Could Levy try that service of his—would Mike get his net game in order—could Cromwell get his timing back —how was untried Pope going to show his wares before the critical Coach” Hawkins—what about Jenkins' base line game—what about Brooks' overhead game by gad, did Bev even have a game? Well, time answered all of these questions, but it took the C. I. A. A. Tournament on the courts of Howard University to show how potentially good we really were. We placed second in the final listing. Not at all bad for a team that had had about a week of work on the clay. Walt Levy got to the Semi-finals in the singles. Moore and Levy made the Semi-finals in the doubles, and can you beat it? Brooks and Pope even got into the Semi-finals. Everybody had fun —and Exams started on Monday . . . 'twas such a rude awakening! 64 LET’S LOOK BACK IT1HE year 1942-43 found Lincoln, as well as many other institutions, just a bit wanting for good athletic material. Coach Rivero, assisted by our own Benny King and the imported Nelson Higgins, did manage to gather about him some rather success- ful units, both on the gridiron and on the hardwood. We weren't quite so fortunate though when it came to the Spring Track season. This was the first year in which Lincoln failed to send representatives to either the Penn Relays or the C. I. A. A. Open Track Meet. We feel, however, that one omission out of four possibilities isn't such a bad record. The Tennis team surprised we still had a Football team good enough to trounce Howard's entry—and remember the boys of Basketball clipped both Morgan and Howard, two victories that should bring joy to the heart of any Lincoln man. For the men who gave their all and for our Coach and his assistants, we are proud and very thankful. 65 Physical Education 66 CLASS WILL Danny, Joe and Jimmy leave their co-presidencies of the S. S.

We cannot all be bomber pilots, but we all need the advantages of good eyesight thousands of times each day. That's why we urge students especially to protect their eyes by reading and studying under adequate light. Avoid glaring, unshaded lamp bulbs and distracting shadows. A good reading lamp meets all these requirements. Southern Pennsylvania Power Company OXFORD, PA. COMPLIMENTS OF The Passmore Supply Co. OXFORD, PA.
