Panthers Prowl Clark College In a jungle of uncertainly, we are panthers on the prowl. As freshmen at Clark College, we are cubs that are just beginning to stalk our prey of academic excellence. As upperclass- men, we are climbing toward a higher goal of awareness of the campus world and the world around us. As seniors, we are full grown panthers realizing our goals and we continue to fol- low the pawprints of those alumni who have gone before us. —Honoree Jeffers ..

Blake resigned as president after a decade at the helm. It was a decade of growth and many successes for Clark College. Of his departure, President Blake said, “At 10 years, it was my judge- ment that with what I had built, what I had accomplished, it was time to wrap it up in a neat package and tie on a ribbon and a bow.” Some of the things Blake takes pride in during his tenure are improvements in the business and mass communica- tions programs, renovations of faculty offices, an active jazz and cultural af- fairs program, and the Center for Fac- ulty Development. He attributes sig- nificant improvement in Clark’s teach- ing to the Center. During Dr. Blake’s administration, the endowment of the college dou- bled to more than $4-million, the per- centage of faculty holding PHD's rose from 43 to 53%. enrollment rose from 1,500 to an average of about 1,900, and the budget balanced every year. It was a time of controversy. It was a time of achievement. —Mike Dejole 56 ... DR. ELIAS BLAKE. JR. DR. ELIAS BLAKE, JR. M ... DR. ELIAS BLAKE. JR.

Student Life Greeks m Sports PANTHERS ON THE PROWL Vs FRESHMEN SOCIAL SPONSORED BY ALUMNI M ... FRESHMEN SOCIAL PANTHERS ARE DE-CLAWED Panthers usually growl at, pounce on. and conquer the adversary; however, there is one event that the pan- thers have yet to conquer—the painful process of regis- tration. The panthers have been trained to remain tame while sitting down for hours, waiting for a faculty or staff work- er to find their name in a large stack, smiling even though their guaranteed student loan was pending. More often than not the panthers survive this lenghty confrontation. Still, mangled hairs, crossed eyes, and weary paws are a common sight. These panthers are fighters. They know that Clark Col- lege Panthers are Second to None —never de-clawed except for August and January. —Ronnette B. Smith 82 ... REGISTRATION GENESIS Genesis—a beginning. It was the formal com- mencement of Clark’s 118th year and the rest of its life. Genesis was the theme for the opening convocation. Clark’s family was called upon to think positively about the future. Be what you want to be was the message that echoed throughout the ceremony: President Blake: 'Everyone can benefit from this beginning because there is at Clark today the strand of continuity of which you are part, and there is the extension of yesterday’s traditions reflected in renewed enthusiasm and continuing progress toward goals for the future.' Rev. Dr. Cornelius Henderson (guest speaker. Clark graduate, and District Superintendent of the United Methodist Church): Your success comes from what you think. If you think 'F you cannot make A’s.” Vice President Scott: a challenge to Think Clark. The task that is given to each of you, no one else can do. SGA President Whitney Young also issued a challenge to students to stop complaining and start solving their problems. He encouraged students to puli up their academics so that they won’t lose out. And Faculty and Instruction Dean Melvin Webb Issued a challenge to the faculty to encourage students to strive harder because of competition. Dr. Blake also spoke about a physical beginning on campus ... an immediate goal of improving the Clark's internal and external appearance. Talking about the Thayer Hall renovation he said. What we are creating in Thayer Hall is a major focal point for student activities that will address the longstanding need for a social focal point for both day and resident student. —Mike Dejoie OPENING CONVOCATION ... 85 REMEMBERING TROY NORTON W ...

The 1987 theme—adapted from the theme of the Unit- ed Methodist Church—helped identify the college with its Methodist roots and also served as the rallying call for Clark alumni-clergy, who were the focal point as the new Founders Day format was introduced. —Harold Hamilton 94 FOUNDERS DAY CATCH THE SPIRIT 96 ... FOUNDERS DAY IT’S COMING What’s coming? Confusion entered the minds of students as fliers were passed around announcing, it's Coming.” Then a few weeks later, fliers came out saying It’s Here, SOMETHING SPECIAL.

ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA On January 16, 1908, a group of young ladies at Howard University founded the first Greek letter So- rority of Black women. Alpha Kappa Alpha Soror- ity. Incorporated. Alpha Kappa Alpha is commit- ted to high scholastic and ethical standards. The development of unity and friendship among col- lege women, the alleviation of problems affecting girls and women, the promotion of higher educa- tion and service to all mankind are exemplified in Alpha Kappa Alpha women. The name Alpha Kappa Alpha means first, and during its almost 80 years of existence has re- mained first in meeting the needs of Black people. In keeping with the high standards of Alpha Kappa Alpha, the Alpha Phi Chapter of Clark Col- lege upholds participation In several campus and community service programs. ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA ... 135 136 ... Dolia Sigma Thela Since Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was tounded in 1913. over 80,000 women have joined the great sisterhood. Delta women are dedicated to the highest degree ot sisterhood, scholarship, fellow- ship. and service. The Sigma Chapter ot Delta Sigma Theta was or- ganized on Clark's campus May 6. 1931, with nine active members. He who does not strive for some- thing with eagerness finds everything burdensome and tedious. This quotation serves as a guide for the members of Sigma Chapter as they seek excel- lence in academic, social and personal achieve- ment. Delta Sigma Theta ... 137 Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Inc. was established at Howard University in 1920. Scholarship, service, and sisterly love were the concepts in the minds of five young ladies who joined with two men of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. to become the first offi- cial brother and sister Greek-lettered organization. The aim of fhe Zeta sisters was to spread their Idea of finer womanhood to other women throughout the nation. Today Zeta stands as a monument to the love and to the effort these women gave to their sisterhood. The brothers of Phi Beta Sigma have stood by the Zeta sisters from the beginning, united in a brother- ly-sisterly love. s and sisters of the Blue and White shines all over the world. Psl Chapter at Clark College has been on the campus for over 40 years. They are involved in numerous community activities. ZETA PHI BETA ... 139 40... ALPHA PHI ALPHA The first Black college fraternity was founded De- cember 4, 1906 at Cornell University. The proud history of manly deeds, scholarship and love for all mankind has shone throughout the nation for 81 years. Over eighty thousand men have been initiated Into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity since its founding in 1906. Their motto is “First of all, servant to all, we shall transcend all. There are over 500 college chapters on campuses throughout the nation and over 300 alumni chapters in 49 states, as well as in the District of Columbia. West Indies, Africa, Eu- rope, Vietnam, and the Virgin Islands. The Alpha Phi Chapter of Clark College was founded by James P. Brawley. Matthew Davage and Luther E. Brooks. Phi Chapter sponsor over 70 campus and community service activities annual- ly. The chain of brotherhood extends toward splen- dor through fellowship, service and identity. ALPHA PHI ALPHA ... 141 Q-Pearls The cardinal principles of Omega Psl Phi Fraterni- ty are Manhood. Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift. These four cardinal principles have been un- dertaken by the fraternity since its beginning. No- vember 17,1911. In the office of Ernest E. Just, pro- fessor of Biology, at Howard University Omega Psl Phi Fraternity was organized by Edgar A. Love. Os- car J. Cooper and Frank Coleman. The Omega spirit has become a mystic thing ... half human and semi-sacred ... having been made so by the enormous souls who lent their ideals, perceptions, and hopes to an idea and carved of it something refined, something which breathes and stirs, which alters and Illuminates hu- man history. OMEGA PSI PHI ... 143 144 ... PHI BETA SIGMA ! Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded in 1914 by three students at Howard University. Twenty-one years later, on December 27. 1935, Psi Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma, Inc. was established at Clark Uni- versity (now Clark College). The most important aspect about Phi Beta Sigma, or any organization is essentially its philosophy. The basic philosophy of the Fraternity is best ex- pressed In their motto: Culture for Service and Service for Humanity.” However. It can be spelled out to mean brotherhood, service and scholarship. Phi Beta Sigma is a true brotherhood dedicated to service through the application of education and scholarship. This brotherhood does not foster a selfish approach to life, but rather one of universal brotherhood and understanding. PHI BETA SIGMA ... 145 JAZZ ORCHESTRA i46 ...
