. W.. -.xu1nwY.,,v aka, W W-- x U It was a rainy day in September nineteen hundred and fifty one, when approximately one hundred and fifty startled Freshmen entered Dunbar. The changing of classes and the extra-curricular activities seemed almost unreal to some of these green Freshmen.

Our Freshman Class officers were President, Viola Everett, Vice-President,John Organ, Secretary, Clara Holmes, Assistant Secretary, George Harris, Business Manager, Donald Hubbard and Reporters for the Chronicle, John Miller and Shirley Carter.
