for the teaching of American History and Literature, respectively, Ruth Odom had just given up her place as Home Economics teacher at Wilber- force University to Alberta Benjamin and was coming to take charge of the same department at Marshall University. It seemed to have been a pleasure for Joeie Sims to serve as secl-e- tary to the president. And thus our very pleasant journey ended. James L. Roberts -.. ,3 F? - qreshm em Glass g?tjem In the golden days of September When our vacation days were o'er And the wind began to blow Telling us that the year was old And We sat and pondered o'er Things that we should do in life Visions of a greater future Rose before our wondering minds Then we began to prepare ourselves We, the class of twenty-nine, Unexcelled in brain or number Unsurpassed by any foe. With the pep and with the courage We are the class that mean to go. High is set our stainless standard High our ideals. high our motto High they shall forever remain For that cause We'll do or die. We've here to honor Alma Mater Accept doctrines that are sound Bring new ideas and new thoughts To our school and to our town. When at last our course is ended And our work approved by time For and near will sound the praises Of the class of twenty-nine. Bernice 0. Whetstone Page. thirtyeons

,,?5 HORNET We greshman gbrophecy whet Ewe- After much inquiring and speculation as to the whereabouts of our A. S. N. S. Freshman classmates. We decided to make a tour of a greater portion of the United States and see for ourselves. From this point, we ordered a Reo-Speed Wagon, from I. C. Reese, President of the National Taxi-Cab Corporation in Atlantic City, N. J., and thus our journey began. We had been traveling for several days when we came to Detroit, Michigan late in the afternoon. While driving around sight seeing, we came upon the ttU Hotel where we decided to lodge for the night. The President, Ben Davie, expressed himself as being exceedingly happy to see us, and gave us the most comfortable lodging that the city could afford. We observed from the newspaper that Madame Evelyn Brown, for- merly Evelyn Dodson, was to appear in a piano recital at the Grand Opera in Chicago just two nights later. Certainly we hurried over to witness the program. Leaving the Opera, we drove across the town to the Anglin Conservatory of Band Music. of which Walter Anglin was president. The next morning we set out for New York City where we found Woodeon L. Player as head of the Department of Mathematics at Colum- bia University. He took us through the school that we might see more of the gang. As we entered the huge gymnasium, we saw Lutha M. Cole as instructor of Physical Education and director of dramatic plays for the girls. Our attention became attracted by a young lady in the street just outside of the campus walls, who seemed to have been in a hurry. It was Susie L. Knox rushing to her job as secretary to Wilbur Hollies who had become president of one of the largest haberdashery eetablishmente in New York City. Leaving New York City, we came to Springfield, Masse, where we found one of the most progressive physicians of the city to be Braxton Jowers. He seemed to have been quite busy in his office. Among those who were waiting to see him was Blanche Nivens. She was about to go abroad as a dramatic reader; thus she thought it necessary to take an ex- amination. While we were still at Springfield, we became informed of a girls, basketball tournament to be held at the Marshall University out in Oklahoma City with Jessie Dozier, head of the Department of Physical Education at Langston, as director. Reaching the citsr we were immediately directed to Marshall Univer- sity, of which Jae. L. Roberts was the founder and president. Among the ene hundred seventy-fiVe faculty members We were happy to find Edith Grier as instructor of Mathematics; Mary Martin as head of the English Department, while Ethel Washington and Arthur Hollies were responsible Page thirty
