Then came Louise Richards from Atlanta University, Ralnh Samuel Gar- ner from Pittsfield High School, Pittsfield, Mesa, and William Allison Jackson from Burrell Normal School. After finding already in the college department, William Burns An- derson, Robert Johnson and Edgar Moore. this group formed an organiza- tion with William Anderson. president. Being a class of student: frnm various parts of the country, we had to understand each other. Finally. we began to realize that 'tToqether we stand and divided We fan. With this fact in mind, each day brought us nearer our goal. The First quarter was soon over and we were ioined hv another group. Nesbit Brown Wesley came from A. 8L M. Institute. Normal.
