The word town is used advisedly, since the term city,” according to the Census of cannot be applied to a district having less than twenty families. Prepared for Howard at Alabama State Normal School. Clayton is a quiet, reticent chap, yet he has shown executive ability as President of the Alabama Club and Vice-President Kappa Sigma Debating Society.

FU Percy graduated from Cook-tnan Academy in lfMl'J. and after spending some months seeking a university with great ability to increase one’s mental capacity beyond measure, he decided that “Howard is the place. Coming from the South. Crawford dc cided to show how “deep” a man nJay look when a que -tion proposed causing the correct answer to leave his mind. Therefore he developed the complicated art of thinking twice before speaking once. Crawford considers the legal world to be adly awry and calling to him for rectification. Percy will study Law at Michigan University. Address, Howard University, Washington, D. C DAVIS. PIERRE HENRI. Q 9 d ( Olygoly. ) Born in Beaufort. N. C . hut persuaded to leave for Connecticut at a very early age. His name should really be Pore instead of Pierre if age is to he taken into account. His nickname arose from the fact that whenever he tries to speak hurriedly his tongue trips and the only sound you get is “Olygoly. olygoly,’ as if he were trying to swallow. He talked himself into many things, however. He has been a member of the Freshman football and baseball teams. Advertising Manager Dramatic Club, member Advisory Board. College of Arts and Sciences, member Varsity football squad. Assistant Manager and Manager of the Varsity squad. Will enter Sheffield Scientific School. Graduate Department, to study Mathematics and Chemistry. Address, H Foote Street, New Haven. Conn. DES MUKES. ALBERTA. A £ H (••Be t.••) Born in Gonzales. Texas. This demure Miss has pretty well succeeded in evading most of the male sex. and remains unconquered. Most of her time has been spent in applying herself to her studies so that she may become an efficient teacher, but how long she will continue in this mood cannot be told. The hubbub of student life has not gieatly upset Alberta and she has remained a seiious. earnest student, but. withal, filled with a great sparkle of life. She is an active member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and finds much pleasure in pursuing her duties in that organization. Her address, which some will l c delighted to learn, is 401) O Street Northwest, W ashington, D. C. 45 DINGLE, JOHN GORDON. Q 9 4� (“Raindrop. ) Dingle was born in Savannah, Ga. lie entered the Georgia State College and finished the Academy in 1911. His real purpose in coming to Washington was “to show Howard lip.” However, he soon condescended to earnest work and became an enthusiastic student. He was a silent member of tlte dramatic cast of '14 and has been very prominent in the Georgia Club. He was also Secretary of the Senior Class. Circulating Manager of the Journal and Manager of the Varsity baseball team. The business world is awaiting his entrance upon life's highway. His address is 509 Price Street, Savannah, Ga. DONALD. HENDERSON HAMILTON ( Peek.”) St. James County. Louisiana, acknowledges Donald's birth ti| on its soil ami receives all blame. Straight University sent him here straight from the Freshman Class in 1912. and he has remained so. A more honest, conscientious student has never attended Howard. Donald’s worth is attested by the fact ihdl be has been Critic, Chaplain. Vice-President and President of bis Class Chairman of the Handbook Committee, member of the Cabinet and Vice-President of the Y. M. C. A., member f the Advisory Council of the College of Arts and Sciences. Representative to the Faculty Committee and President of the Kappa Sigma Debating Society. Alas!

Louisiana. 46 FITZPATRICK. FRANK NORMAN (“Fit .”) Born in the Earbadoes. R. V. I. Rev. F. X. F.. candidate for Holy Orders. Lives with a vision of himself as Archbishop of the Diocese of New York. In the turmoil of student life Rev. Fit is one of the very few heroes who keeps his head above the clouds while perpetual sunlight plays upon his reverend brow. Fit , has two excellent qualifications which recommend him for the Archbishopric: first, his radiating countenance gives a blessing to all he meets, and. secondly, lie is beginning to get bald. The General Theological Seminary of New York City will be fortunate, indeed, in securing the temporary residence of Fitz. While there he will also do graduate work in Columbia. Address, 1S?0 Dean Street. Brooklyn, N. Y. VINCENT. WILLIAM FERDINAND, 4 . B. S. (‘Vince.'’) Born in Miami County. Kansas. The Favcr High School of Guthrie. Okla.. took great pride in sending this Favered son to Howard. If Vince had nothing else to recommend him. the fact that lie admits that he was born in a county” is prim a facie evidence that lie lias sound moral views. Besides. Vine has been the Shy lock of his Class, having held the purse-strings for two years. Furthermore, he was a member of the Sophomore Football Team, member of the Benjamin Bennaka Research Society, and President of Kappa Sigma Debating Society. He will enter Howard Medical School. Address, 1401 Fast Vilas Avenue, Guthrie, Oklahoma. 47 HARRIS. ETHEL CATHERINE (“Eth.”) Born in Washington, D. C. Ethel came from M Street with a splendid record and a special fondness for Mathematics. It might be said of her, as was said of a very reticent youth, “Arithmetic was her only joy, and she seldom ever spoke.” Being a girl and making Hall’s Hill, Va.. her later residence, Ethel was naturally removed from active participation in student life, but she has always been an energetic and efficient worker in lie' Class. She has been Assistant Secretary and Secretary of her Class, and her records of the doings of the Class arc highly illuminating. She is one of the few girls pursuing a scientific course, ami will teach (for a time, after which it is not safe for us to predict). Address, Hall's Hill. Virginia. HARRISON, JOSEPH PLUMMER (“Joe.”) Born in Bricks. N. C. Spent his years of preparation in the Joseph Keasby Brick School of Enfield. N. C., an undiscovered institution until Harry’s advent at Howard.

As a Senior, Joe went to the Medical School as a combination spident and will finish there. Because of his varied program, Harry has riot been able to enter as fully into student activities as he desired to do, but whenever his turn came to perform a task no hand stood more ready. Ur. Harrison's address i-; Howard University. W ashington, 1). C. 48 HAWKINS. JAMES BLAKE (“Hawk.”) Born in Baltimore, Md. He came to Howard from Morgan College. The Baltimore contingency, one of the larger groups coming from contiguous tcriitory. brings no sterner advocate of midnight vigils than this young man. Hawkins spends all his spare time reading works on “Doctors and Their Automobiles,” for to Hawk the two seem inseparable. His motto is: “Get First an Auto and All Other Things Will Be Added Unto You.” He will take the Medical Course at Howard. Address, Howard University. Washington, D. C. HENDLEY, CHARLES VERCNE. 0 ■ «!� (“Chili Sauce ”) Hcndley was born in Huntsville, Ala. He, also, went through Howard Academy, then coming irtto College.

After vacillating between the choice of several professions. Jack decided to finish from the Howard Law School, but a recent discovery of poetical gifts may upset all calculations. He is now turning out verses at an astounding rate. Charlestown. W. Va.. is the point at which he may be located. JOHNSON. CHARLES LEONARD. 0 9 J (“Lcn”) Born in Washington, D. C. The slogan that Washington boys are destined to starvation breaks down when this distinguished young man is recalled.' ' He is destined to greatness and opulency. Johnson is another of the M Street army to whom Howard owes not a little.

SAMUEL ARTHUR (“Sam. ) Jacksonville, the New York of the South, has produced its quota of great men. and in the forefront of those who claim that metropolis as birthplace we find the distinguished Samuel Arthur. The hurry and bustle of student life have had no fascination for this unruffled and stable youth, lie has earnestly pursued his studies and gone about his way with the even temper of a judge. Jones came to Howard from Cookman Institute, where his activities were so varied that a long period of rest was necessary during his College course. He is one of those who will he down in the mouth, and the Howard Dental School will receive him next year. Address, (� lfl Johnson Street. Jacksonville. Florida. JORDAN. JOHN ARTHUR ( Rhine”) The slogan that “Jordan is a hard road to travel has been reversed by this pleasant fellow from St. Augustine, Fla., for his daily avocation is being congenial to his associates. The Virginia Seminary of Lynchburg, Ya„ prepared the ■’Rhine to enter Howard. He has strayed away, however, from the beautiful South. Jordan believes that self-preservation is the first law of nature and is guided thereby. He has been a member of the Y. M. C. A.. N. A. A. C. I ., Social Science Club. Alpha Phi Literary Society.

Lester has found Washington a very hospitable center, and as a result most of his activities have been urban.

(meaning Chicago), where he plans to pursue the study of I iterature at the University. Address, Box G7, Haw-kinsvillc. Georgia. MALONEY. CHARLES FRANKLIN ( Feed. ) Born in Chester, Pa. Front the Chester High School, Maloney came to Howard in 'll.

Undismayed, he entered the College and has been persistent in securing the requisite amount of knowledge necessary to graduation. Nutt’s favorite diversion is “shooting” baskets, to the delight of basket-ball “fans. He has been Varsity player for three years, and Manager of the Basket-Ball Team. He has always evidenced ability along business lines, and has utilized his spare time in the city in some sort of business enterprise. Therefore, it is not unnatural that he has selected a business career. His address is 525 You Street Northwest, Washington, D. C. PERKINS. VASSAR EMMETT Perk”) Trcvilians.

Perk decided to try Virginia Union University for his college preparatory course, and he finished there in 1011. Then rt was that he became interested in Howard and walked to Washington. I). C. Perkins is one of those reticent individuals whose very appearance bespeaks learning and modesty. He has quietly pursued his way unrolcsted. always ready to serve Ins Class when called upon. As Chaplain he guided the destinies of T5 and sent up sonic excellent pleas. Perkins is now seriously considering Theology and exjiects to return to Howard to receive the quickening touch. He will return to Trcvilians, poor boy. i 53 POLLARD. WILLIAM AUGUSTUS, A 1 A (“Bill. ) Born in British Guiana, South America.

Scott is beyond question the greatest philosopher and theologian of his times. It is well that Emerson and Beecher made their escape before this master of the abstruse sciences appeared on the philosophical horizon. When Scott arises in any class to propose a query, the professor usually prepares to dismiss the class so that the students may repair to the Library to get the information necessary for Scott’s inquisitive genius.

Shaw comes from Brunswick, Ga. Selden University was instrumental in getting him fit for experiment, and the end has more than justified the means. Pup’s long suit is cither deluding or being deluded by the fair Washington damsels; but this pursuit has not diverted his mind from the more essential features of college life. With him it is “just a gift.” A typhoid attack delayed this young man from finishing in 1914. but the jK-riod of recuperation was so delightful that Pup believes it was all for a cause. ’ Shaw has been interested in athletics also, being Secretary of the Athletic Association and Assistant Manager of the Football Team. Pup will go into Insurance Business at home. SHEPPARD. MADELINE (“Madge.”) Bom in Mcycrsdalc, Pa. Meycrsdale High School, in preparing Madge for Howard, gave her a special propensity for hard study. With a young lady this usually means retirement from social life, hut Madge has been able, happily, to mix the two in a way desirable to her professors and friends.

The Fla Kush was to decide whether Soph was to overawe the newcomer or the Freshman was to taunt his older brother. When the phalanx of the Freshmen sallied forth with martial song, the diffident Sophs lowered their banner ami entrusted themselves to flight from the held of battle. In order to make the victory complete. they hunted down the Sophs, decorated a few of them with flour, and hanged one of the more spirited leaders to the flagpole as a living sign of victory. The Sophs, when their banquet came, used every means to insure a successful occasion. But here, again, the wily Freshmen kidnapped their president. He was returned when the banquet was over. Contrary to the prophesy of those who declared that the glory was ephemeral and that 1916 would go down before the Freshman horde, 1916 showed that their valor was enduring. After a hotly contested battle for fifteen minutes, in which utmost manhood was displayed on both sides, the banner of the Sophs remained flying in the wind and defying Freshman pretentions. The story of the football game was one of conquest by the Sophs on the gridiron. During these two years lul � was banquetcu in song and tranquillity, such were the blessings which accompanied their conquest. T he energies of the class wcie spent not only m class rivalry, but in more liberal pursuits. From now on we see it.-' members contesting upon the gridiron, holding places m the annual drama, and achieving recognition upon the rostrum. t hree of the seven members of the University Debating Team aic members of bio and an equal number iccciccd the Howard II,” while the Journal start ba a generous portion from tlu class The achievements of 1 !l 1G will always be for the glorv of Howard and for racial uplift.

W hen the class assembled as a Freshman Class in the fall of 1913, severe difficulties lay before it. The daring Sophomores soup lit to spread terror in its ranks by carefully laid schemes, but the indomitable Freshmen soon proved to their opponents that they must he reckoned with. The Flap; Rush of that year will be long remembered as the most desperately and yet most cleanly fought contest ever waged upon the campus. The first Dramatic Club ever organized by a class of the College of Arts and Sciences was effected by this class in its Freshman year. The production was highly successful. 'Pbe Sophomore year of the class teems with incidents which le.lcct the real aim of the class. Sophomores served in various capacities in the leading clubs and fraternities of the University. Their athletic record was enviable. The programs rendered before the Alphi Phi Literary Society demonstrated the literary talent of the class. In the first debate ever held between a Freshman and Sophomore class, the Sophomore team won the banner, and one of its members also won the loving cup as the best individual dehator. In the University Dramatic Club several Sophomores assumed leading roles. Such are the attainments of the Class of 17 in the first two years of its College existence, and anyone reviewing these can safely predict that the Class of 1? will ever keep alive the lircs of its ambition f«� r a greater life at Howard. 68 CLASS 1917 4 t 6g SOPHOMORE CLASS B Colors: Black and Crimson.

It is composed of al out one hundred and thirty students from fifty secondary schools and representing twenty-four States and the British West Indies. The young women number 24 per cent of the class. The Freshman Class, adopting the advice of the Juniors, organised during the first week of October and started on its journey toward the coveted goal of 1018. A social helped to unite the class before it was involved in the great coming conflict. The Freshmen have been engaged in three important contests with the Sophomores. First, there was the Class Rush. After a hard struggle up a pole three feet higher than the pole used in former rushes, the Freshmen were victorious. This victory so inspired the class that they determined to try their strength in another combat, namely, the football game on December 5th. Fortune again favored the Freshmen, but sympathy beneath their hostility softened their hearts and they paid their last respects to the defeated Sophomores in a most heartfelt fashion. The third encounter was by far the most dignified. The Freshmen accepted a challenge to debate with the Sophomores on December 22d. This time the Freshmen were defcatd. but they received profitable preparation for more extensive work on the platform. The Freshmen have not always been contesting during these few months. There haVe been stags, “at homes” and interesting class meetings, besides school work. One enthusiastic Freshman is editor and “staff” of a journal. “The Freshman College Ree.” which has been unanimously chosen the organ of the class. The future of the Freshman Class is exceedingly bright, bccau c it lias the advantage of perpetually increasing opportunities which preceding classes have not been able to enjoy. The Freshmen mean always to take advantage of fair opportunities and ever to hold high the noble ideals of manhood and womanhood for which Howard stands. 72 — CLASS 1918 u 73 FRESHMAN CLASS S Colors: Purple and Gold Flower: Rose Motto: “Deeds- -Not Dreams.

Oscar J. Cooper, Edgar A. Love, and Frank Coleman, in company with Prof. F.. F.. Just. It was the aim of the founders to establish a fraternity in which a larger number of men could share the fruits of fraternity life than had hitherto been able to do so. The Fraternity stands for four principles. Manhood, Scholarship, Perscvercnce and I’p'ift, and with these principles it strives to develop a friendly spirit which will radiate not only to the members but throughout the whole university. Since its organization the Omega Psi Phi has had remarkable success, in both university and private activities. The school term following its organization brought a fraternity house, which served as nothing else perhaps, to bind tlie fellows together. The present active enrollment of the Alpha Chapter is about forty, with five honorary members. On February 6, I9 4- the beta Chapter was established at Lincoln University, which promises to rival the “Mother” Chapter in success. So 8i Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Alpha Chapter 0 THE PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, the youngest collegiate Fraternity in Howard University was founded on the 9th of January. 1914. by Messrs. A. I.. Taylor. L. F. Morse and C. I. Brown. The Fraternity stands f. r the highest and best in education. Its motto is Culture for Service and Service for Humanity.” That this motto is lived uj to is exemplified hy the work that is being done by the organization in maintaining an organized Sunday school, 'flic Fraternity has .1 well equipped library' and has recently ct aside a room for an Art Gallery, both of which arc open to the public. • From a membership of twelve the Mpha Chapter has grown to a membership of fifty •one. They are classified as follows: 1 lonorary members .......................... 6 Graduate members............................. y Undergraduate members .......................36 Though the youngest of the collegiate Greek-letter fraternities of Howard University it is taking no small part in university life and activities. 8 2 nrnrlt!es Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority 0 THE ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY was orRanizctl January 18. 1908, by the young women of the sophomore, junior and senior classes of the College of Liberal Arts of Howard University. Under the direction of Miss Ethel Tremain Robinson, and supported by the wise counsel of Miss Elizabeth Appo Cook, both members of the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts, this organization was founded according to precedents established by standard sororities. The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority enjoys the unique distinction of being not only the lirst. but also the first chartered Creek-letter sorority among Negro students. During the scholastic year 1913-14. this sorority came into close affiliation with the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois by forming at the former institution the Beta Chapter and at the latter the Gamma Chapter At the commencement exercises in June. 1914. the Alpha Chapter awarded, for the first time, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Scholarship Prize—ten dollars in gold. This prize is to he awarded annually to the young woman in the School of Liberal Arts who is graduated with the highest scholarship average which must not be lower than cum laude grade, and which must cover four years of work at Howard University for the degree of A. B. or B. S. Not only has the Alpha Kappa Alpha a membership of loyal students but a large host of graduate members as well daily renew their vows to maintain the highest ideals of culture, and noble womanhood as they look upon the sorority emblem, the gold and green ivy leaf. � 5 Delta Sigma Theta Sorority 0 Werlic Blackwell M.

The purpose or the club is to inculcate in the young women true ideals in athletic, social, intellectual and moral attainments. The young women, in order to further these ideals, have established a fund which is used to aid any worthy young woman in the department. An art exhibition was held last year with great credit to the University, presenting fancy work, burnt-wood work and brass work of the young women and many originals and copies of famous paintings. This year the young women made a number of calendars, using Dean Miller's Oath of the Afro-American Youth for that purpose. Twenty-five members, or nearly fifty per cent of the young women, are on the honor roll of the Department.

The Alpha Phi Literary Society 0 This society is the oldest of the student organizations at Howard. It was organized in 1872. and for nearly ten years was the only medium for student expression, aside from the regular routine of college work. It numbers among its founders Deans Geo. Cook and Kelly Miller and Prof. Y. V. Tunnell In recent years, the Alpha Phi has been the most widely felt of the organizations sup| orted by both sexes in the School of Liberal Arts. The effort put forth has been, designedly, to develop the power of forensic speaking, to acquire skill in polemic discussions; to gain the mastery of platform performances, and to arouse a general interest in literary activities. This year special programs were given by the Alpha Kap| a Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta Sororities, the Department of English, and honorary members of the professional schools. The four classes of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Teachers' College have all appeared in class programs under the auspices of the Society. All of the programs this year have been of tile highest order, and have been rewarded with an attendance surpassing that of previous years. Much of this is due the activity of the present administration. I. G. HAILEY President Alpha Phi Literary Society OFFICERS. Miss Edna Jackson. V ice- President. Miss Agnes 11. Heard. Secretary.

Barbers and Janitors, to beautiful, cif-like and flitting damsels, there is to he found every sort of individual in this wonderful aggregation. When it came to service performed in the interest of Howard. Bill Pollard was declared to have done the most, with Boh Andrews a close second. Pollard worked for the advancement «� f Howard: Andrews worked for the Advancement of Colored Pc«� -p'e. For good, steady plugging work tor the promotion « f class ,irc. Poll received the highest vote, with Peck Donald and Virgic Porter ticing for second place. With reference to natural gifts. Eth Harris was declared to be the most brilliant member of the class Virgic again ran -wc« lid. • nd tied with “Leu Johnson. That Johnson should have this place is pure irony. It could not he denied that Feed Malonev was the greatest science bug” in Thirkield Hall. Olysroly Davis and Eth Harris are still disputing as to which has legitimate claim to second place. The greatest degree of versatility was awarded Prexy Wilson, the captain of the crew. “Raindrop Dingle, the human theory of limits, and Pitts Lester seconded in spirit and action that quality so widely possessed by Wilsc. In the matter of oratory and spell-binding, Rhine Iordan and Win. Augustus Fcstus (his whole name) Pollard took the lead. The Floridian, in his early days, subsisted largely on the juice of limes, which grow in his State, and that has given him the advantage in piquancy and pungency. I’pon some questions there can be no possible difference « f opinion. “Manager” Tavernier, everybody knows, was the most dignified. self-possessed and self-consumed member of the Senior class. No greater delight had he than to point the erring Freshman to Itis status of inferiority. And lie could do it with the greatest propriety and sanctity. For real, inexhaustible, indefatigable energy. Vincent was unsurpassed; while for excellency in hospitality ami parlor punctilio. Little Virgic took the cake. Rip Jackson, the poet, it seems, is possessed with the greatest originality. He is was the vutgus Pofntli would term so d’ffnuu Nutt, the famous basket ball shot, was pronounced the greatest athlete of the class, with 40-horsepower Crawford, the chaser, as his nearest rival. As for the latter, nothing short of a bicycle cop can exceed his locomotion. For general popularity, Virgic again Imre away the laurels. Mutt Walker by her side and next in order. From the standpoint of charm and beauty Misses Sheppard and Dcsm tikes are to be most admired. Among those made of “courser stuff ' especially to be desired, Hawkins is the guy. For real handsomeness. however. Mutt Walker and Rip Jackson take favor. Among the frights arc Scruggs and I’ere Davis, who arc to he avoided after nightfall. Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; 119 “Madge” and “Fitz have the most of it, saith the class. Clothes make the man.” said the man of few pieces; yen arc well made. Handley and ■'Fitz.” if this adage he true “Feed Maloney, it was found, has a monopoly on sparkling wit. tlcndley and Jordan pueth fast, however. For dogged persistence and hull-dog tenacity. McCants Andrews received unanimous vote. When it canto to the choice of the best natured there was a big scramble. Crawford. Donald. Jones and Miss Harris all landed safe. The greatest flirt could not be determined; but Clayton. Walker and Jackson were mentioned in this connection. It was decided that to put it to a test the three were to make new conquests for a period of two weeks, when it would be determined For a straight-out heart-breaker, Bill” Pollard won the toss. His depredations have been notable. The girls of the class absolutely refused to let the men vote on who was to be the old maid. None of them arc at present in danger. If honors were awarded on ability to bluff, Raindrop' Dingle would receive B. S. Sutnntus Maximus, and Bob Andrews would obtain B. S. S. M. Sccundus. Scivcring is a term peculiar to Howard which implies adroit manipulation in getting by with the minutest amount of studious exertion on the part of the sciv-erer.” This word was created to fit the propensities of Rip Jack-son and Mutt Walker. The meek shall inherit the earth. When that day comes Lester. Hackett. Perkins, Miss Harris and Harrison will attune their voices to sing: Love Us for the World Is Ours.
