Copyright 1933 by GEORGE O. BUTLER Editor -in- Chief GFORGF L. HANDY Business Manager THE BISON 1933 Published by the SENIOR CLASS of HOWARD UNIVERSITY Washington, D.C. FOREWORD THE years have flown—shadowy, sandaled. And with their passing, new things have come to Howard: new ideals, new customs, and. tangibly, new buildings. But Howard has not lost its honored traditions. They may be ivy-grown and blurred with age. Nevertheless, through the era of change and progress, the modern concepts are fixed deeply in the bedrock of Old Howard. Out of the haze of yesterday up from the dim recesses of the years, rise towers and cupolas, golden in the sunlight, reaching high into the clouds. And in their midst, remains the old Chapel, tranquil with its memories cj the days that were and its dreams of the days to be. In this, the Bison of 1933. we have in some small measure attempted to record the changes of the new era and strengthen our links with the old.

Jo -H DEDICATION WHATEVER of achievement there may be presented in this book, we would like to associate with the name of one whose diligent work and integrity of character have done much to extend the influence of Howard University. Because he was an outstanding student at Cornell University, o lieutenan in line of duty with the 3SI st Field Artillery during the World War, the designer of five trade buildings for Tuskegee Institute, the chief draughtsman in the architectural offices of Howard J. Wiener of Bethlehem, Pa., the organizer of the department of architecture of Howard University, the architectural engineer for the first buildings for the Howard of the Future, the originator of the twenty-year building plan, the procurer of building funds, and because he is the university architect, we dedicate the 1933 Bison to Albert I. Cassell. h.....-7!•........4 '• 4 ' .....4 ••• h' 4 ' ••••• i • A • A A J i‘ «n,‘)l''...‘ il’....I ALBERT I. CASSELL University Architect 19H BISON HISTORICAL HOWARD UNIVERSITY like most of the renowned institutions of higher learning, had its boginning in a project for religious education. Following the decision of the members of he First Congregational Church of Washington, D. C., assembled on November 19, 1866. for o prayer meeting, the Reverend Charles B. Boyton, the Reverend Benjamin F. Morn's, Danforrh B. Nichols and Henry Brewster began the task of founding a theological school for Negroes. General Oliver Otis Howard, for whom the school was finally named, a member of this congregation, allied himself with this enterprise and for a suitable location or the school, purchased one hundred acres from the farm of John Smith, located on a high elevation on Georgia Road. Within three years much of the land thus secured had been sold, yielding sufficient profit to supplement unds obtained from the Freedman's Bureau and begin the erection of builoings. During this time, the curriculum hod developed extensively. Within the first three months of the school's existence its name had been changed to meet progressing phases of its activities. From The Theological Institute as was first proposed the name was converted into The Theological and Normal Institute as a result of the adoption of the suggestion of Senator Pomeroy of Kansas that provision be included for the training of Negro teacners. Finally, on the 8th of June, 1867, it was decided that this educational project be broadened sufficiently to merit the name Howard University. The first faculty of the school consisted of the Reverend E. W. Robinson (Chair of Evidence in Biblical Interpretation] tho Rovorond D. B. Nichols (Chair of Biblical History and Geography), and Dr. Silas Loom (Chair o; Anatomy and Physiology). This latter choir came from the realization of the Freedman's Bureau thot even ir. a theological school, students needed health instruction. From this health instruction the step to a medical school was natural. Howard University has grown to encompass academic deDartrr.ents graduate and undergraduate, with Colleges of Liberal Arts, Education, Appliod Science, Music, and professional schools: the Schools of Religion and of Law. and the Colleges of Medicine, of Dentistry and of Pharmacy. — 8 — • •'---------� ,j q i { HI SON -------- Q€ (K XX = OC=SH If s significant to not© her© that in the Normal and Preparatory Deparmenf opened in 1867, four of the five students were white and one was colored. Although the open door policy still remains, tne university is primarily concerned with the education of Negro youth. The first Negro vice-president of the university was Professor John M. Langston of the Howord Low School, who acted as president during the leavo of absence grantee to General Howard, the first president of the university. The successor to General Howard was the Reverend Jeremiah E. Rank n. who served from 1889 to 1903, and for whom our chapel is named. The other presidents have been Dr. John Gordon, a Presbyterian minister; Dr. Wilbur P. Thirk'eld, a Methodist bishop, to whom the Science Building is dedicated- Dr. Stephen Newman, and Dr. J. Stanley Durkee who served until he was succeeded by the first Negro to head the university— Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson. The administration, the faculty, and tho studont body of Howard are bi-racial. The administrative authority is vested in the president, who is elected by a Board of Trustees and is responsible to it. Cf th© twenty-four active members of the Board of Trustees, eleven are colored and thirteen white. The financial support of th© university is received from appropriations from th© Federal Government, and from philanthropic organizations, from private endowments, and from student fees. The United States Bureau of Education in a recent survey of Negro colleges and univers ties reported in Bulletin Number 7. 1928. speaks of Howard University as the only institution of higher learning in th© United Statos for tho education of the Negro race which maintains a complete university organization inducing undergraduate, groduote, and professional schools. — 9 — I t i i BISON PROFESSOR GUSTAV AUZENNE JP..

Message from President Johnson May 8. 1933 I AM glad to writ© a word of greeting to the graduates of 1932-33 and to all fellow students who. during these difficult times, have struggled successfully to go on with their work. Each of you has achieved a victory of high significance. You are among a group of less than 26.000 persons registered in American colleges and universities from that minority of the population to which we belong. In every fundamental walk of life this minority is hungering for an increase in the number of competent leaders. More and more they must depend upon men and women who Dossess the habits of mind which our university community seeks to develop—men and women accustomed to examine opinions and programs with critical intelligence, to arrive at conclusions after patient examination of the facts, to be guided by an imagination discip ined by reason, and who by their wide perspectives are defended from devotion to ill-founded enthusiasms. I greet you os the men and women who must be the vehicles through whom the aspirations of the people come to inte:'igent expression. I rejoice in every painstaking effort which you are making to develop the powers that are in you. — 24 — MORDECAI W. JOHNSON. Administrative Officers and Deans E. J. SCOTT Secretary P. 0.

September 30, 1929. No ono had to inquire who these intruders wore. Their expressions of awe and uncertainty proclaimed their status as Freshmen, Such a miserable setting for a triumphant entry! The damp atmosphere persisted for two long weeks and as might be expected, moisture nad permeated our spirits by that time—spirits which failed to revive for some time as you sha' hear. The upperclassmen, taking advantage of the low resistance occasioned by he weather, found it surprisingly simple to rob each of us of fifty cents tor Paenie caps and believe it or not, octually hod the satisfaction of seoing us religiously wcor them. The first indication that we might be wanted here af+er all was born when those of us who lived in Miner Hall were entertained by a reception sponsored by a few faculty members and upperclassmen. Well, what tiboul golfing together? In union 'here is strength, some Fishman—or was it a statesman—once said. So we hied to Chapel one day in early October to organize the Class, and start letting Howard in on the fact tha? we were very much a parr of the studen body. But there was no more union than before. The city mombers gave the campus students the surprise o; their lives by walking oway with all He offices. Results: President Charles Lofton; Vice President, Louis© Taylor; Secretory. Gheretien Rdgley; Treasurer, Fred Green. We endeavored to get together again by holding another election of officers during the Winter Quarter. When the smoke had cleared away, we found Charles Ukkerd in the President's berth supported by Mar'e Wall as Vice-President; Vivian Simpers, Secretary; Fred Green, Treasurer Kelly Goodw'n, Sergeont-ot-A-ms: Herman Richards. Chaplain. The upperclassmen confided at this time that wc had shown ourselves to be sufficiently mature to warrant representation on the Student Council. Whom shall we — 49 — ■' •'- 19)) I) I SON - � ---- wm= q elect? Why the most logical canoidates, of course. The difficulty arose when, to the consternation of each faction, it was learned that opinions varied os to who were the most logical canoidates. The campus students conferred and agreed to stick together at ony co$ and succeeded in getting all representation from their quarter. Richard Jones and Lorraine Robbins were entrusted with the duty of seeing to it that he Class of '33 got a fair deal in student activities. At the Spring Quarter election the Man of the People. Fred Green, came in for wholesale support from the campus group, and it looked as Hough the camous was in again. The other successful candidates were Marie Wall. Vice-President: Rietta Hines, Secretary George Jones, Treasurer; Kenneth Brown. Sergeant-a -Arms, and Herman Richords. Chaplain. What could one expect n die way of achievement from a class in chaos? ‘Mind reacts upon the physical. so state He Interoctionists . . . so wc lost the Freshman-Soohomoro Rush: and since the theory may be stated in revorso. The physical reacts uoon the mind. we also !ost the Frosh-Soph Debate. Why we won the Freshman-Sophomore football game hos never been explained. From the reports o broken limbs, ribs, and broken noses, a flock of accidents took place in the stadium that day. Just ar example of the Class of I933's caoacity to do the thing right or not at all. No halt way ground has ever been tolerated. If we won. we won by a large margin, if we lost, well . . . draw your own conclusions. The end of the Winter Quarter took its toll of students who did not want to ’stay and see the grass grow green ; at any rat®, their marks dio not reflect such a desire. Before the end of the year the Class of '33 had put over two big projects successfully. one of them being without precedent. In the face of taunts from the mighty Soohs that the success of their Freshman prom could not be surpassed, we grimly set to work to hold tho most brilliantly soec-teculor prom ever witnessed on � he Hill. We arranged who! we deemed a perfect setting of soft lights, decorations in the class colors (orange and blue), and dreamed of a perfect night March 10. 1930. But old Pluvlus had other plans and showed himself to be consistent in liquidizing each occasion upon which we hoped to male a good impression. Think, my friends, of the futility c: attempting to look one's be after dolicately colored slippers and gowns have survived a thunder storm! However, our Freshman prom is a memory so indelibly imprinted on cur minds that years of storm and distress will never efface it. Use your imagination when we intimate that this is not only because of the good music and delicious ounch. Things really happened that night, but some of then won't stand going down on record. Tho day dawned bright and sunny, and eager Freshmen might be seen scrambling together lunches, bathing suits, ukes. banjos and themselves, incidentally. The cause of the commo’ion on die mornirg of May 22. 1930. was the first annual picnic c Highland Beach of the Class of 1933. No class had ever risked such an activity before; -SO — ond jealous upperclassmen who. by 1 he way. were no! eligible to go. come ou to see these exclusive Freshmen off. Dcn’r misunderstand—they came only in order to be on hand with me ' I told you so had a sma'i group of Freshmen responded. Imagine their chagrin when at 10 o'clock two busses full to over- owing whn excited. hilarious Freshmen left the Main Building for a day which will be remembered as ono of the happiest in oi.r college career. Swimming, boating, fishing, ond gomes were wholeheartedly entered into until lunch time, after which Ole Brother Pluvius got vexed with us again for no reason at oil and did his usual stunt. However, we had grown indifferent to his antics by this time, too« possession of the Edwin B. Henderson Cottage (with permission) and enjoyed dancing, clowning cards, arc of course each other's company for the remainder of the day. Oh, yes. i; any of you are looking for Chaps on very special occasions, by all means try to Inveigle Mrs. Honesty, Miss Violet Warfield. Mr. Clarence Pendelton. and Mr. Johr H. Burr into the job. You just couldn't do any be :er. With echoes of happenings at me Freshman Picnic still in our ears, we looted forward to finals in June after which we . . . that is hose of us who passed . . . m;ghh carefully remind anyone who unwittingly made the mistake, that we wore sophisticated Sophs whose primary ambition was to make the next year's Freshmon Closs os miserable as we had been. SOPHISM September, 19301 Back to the old Alma Mater with more virn and vigor than was good tor o class of Sophs. The upoermost thing in the minds of cur very sophis-ticated group was to see what the Paenies ' looked I ke. However, tho ardent desire to see that the Freshman Class had its share of humiliation had subsided somewhat over the summer vacation. We had begun to look upon such practices, which are common in most colloges, as bordering on barbarity. We had just about decided that this was not the spirit which we desired t© see perpetuated at our Alma Mater. It is not to be thought, however, that the “Paenies wonr unmolested. No. that would hardly have been possible. Instead, they came in for a plenty of the Traditional animosity of Sophomores. Now that the Paenies had been looked over to the satisfaction of the Sophs there were other duties that we must perform if wc- were tc become capable of handling those much-coveted positions v hich would belong to us oi a later date. The Class officers had been elected before the end of the Spring Quarter. We were ready to beg' but with what? The treasury, running true o form in the Sophomore year was depleted! When you have money worries be nonchalant and dance- your coffers will be filled before you know it—Ripley. Evidently. “Les Non-chalanfs” wore not quite optimistic enough, for lo! thoir coffee were emptier after this dancing spree than before. There were the usual ifs. ends and passing the buck as to why such a harmless little affair. $© well planned shou c have—we1 — 51 — 19)1 BISON •O uso your own judgmont. We were still nonchalant! Why worry over spilled mill;? Let's take up the next item on the ogende. The things which were necessary tor the completion of the Sophomore program must be done. They were done, but by the Freshmen; and done well, for the Sophs consistently lost each event to the Freshmen. Undaunted by the taunts that the Class of 33 would not have its name in the covered little spoce on the big silver cup, we felt that the possib'lities of making a nome for ourselves were Such that our name on the cup would be superfluous in aiding the memory of those who came after the Class of ‘33. This was the great awakening rather than apparent defeat. We were going to show rhem that it took more than the losing of a few ovonts to break tho spirit of this Class. The traditional Sophomore prom had to be given despite protests from the treasurer that there was no money. And it was given, a very pleasant a fair—so said even the Juniors. We could not let down on the standord set by the Class of ’33 relative to that picnic at Highland Beach. Under the gu'dance of Ella Murphy who was acting President of the Class, and Goorge Butler, Chairman of the Social Committee, the picnic was arronged, the day ond hour of departure set; but again the rain threatened our project. Reluctantly, tho showers ceased, and amid good wishes and somo anxious advice from Dean West, the bus with its impatient charges was ofl. The coolness of the weather was slightly dampening to the spirits. Nevertheless. the group spent an enjoyable day on the beach of Chesapeake Bay and in the comfortable cottage of Mr. Perry Howard, away from the chilly breezes. Invigorated by tho trip, the group came back to the campus preoared to pass the finals with enviable results. Another year had passed, and we hoped for recognition the following year, since we had painfully, but successfu l, passed all preliminaries. IDEALISM During our Junior year we saw many physical changes take place. On our return, the Women’s New Dormitories Roared against the eastern sky. startled us with their splendor. Wi h mingled feelings of joy and reluctance, the dormitory women lef good old Miner Hall with its dilapidated rooms, for the awfully new dorms on Fourth Street. Just like being a Ereshman again! The surroundings were so strange. . . . We learned to wall down strairs. close doors without s'amming them, talk to our companions with the realization that they were beside us and not over in the Main Building, tread the corridors gingerly; in short, we were initiated to dignified group living. The men shied away from this foreign atmosphere at first for fear of bo ng rendered inarticulate in the r efforts to do the right thing, in the right place, at tho right time. However, they came o a realization of what they were missing afier the Grand Open’ng at which time they had an intimate — 52 — l)OHC I)Oi)diG i)� If II BISON •-w � ■- « '■ - ' glimpse of the entire delightful unit. Thereafter 9:30 P. M. found many a lovelorn youth reluctant to remove himself from the premises. The Class of 33 also saw trustworthy chars and desks in the Main Building replace benches, the rhythmic swaying and creaking of which had been ar toe conducive to peaceful sleep For the intellectual good of the student. The renovation of Miner Hall to accommodate the administrative offices: steps in the Main Building which might be judged ’fundamentally sound: and finally a Main Building dressed up in a new red coat, brought forth the comment from the Class that the Campus had bogun to look the part befitting the Capstone. These physical changes were no without their effect upon the Class, which could now stand at a vantage point and recall the campus when such charges were only to be dreamed of—now they wore a reality. binding ourselves disgustingly fend surprisingly for some of us) in deb at he opening of the school year, the Class under the leadership of its visionary Pres dent. Frank Davis, conceived of a unique plan to save the situation ... an Inter-Class Sinking Fund upon which any class In distress might draw. The plan wos O. K. on Ms face; Pres'dents of all classes and the Student Council approved it as a measure, fair, square and above-board. Either their approbation was rot sincere or the plan was not practicable: at any rate, nothing was ever done to put it into operation, and we understand that it d ed from procrastination. We understand also that it was undernourished in the first place. Ever resourceful the Class engoqed in the task of solving the Debt Problem from another angle, and Ihe idea was born to the Chairman of the Deot Committee. Royal Puryear, that the Juniors might got out of debt by simply paying up all back class dues! How elementary the problem was after all! We were to learn to be skeptical about things that looked easy on the surfaco. The Juniors saw the moral issuo involved, howevor, and rallied to the occasion. Nevertheless, take a tip from those who know, it’s easier on the conscience, and Incidenlolly on the pccketbook as well, to pay one's class dues each and every quarter. Cut of debt once more, the Class turned its attention to ways and means cf exhibiting its sense of social responsibility. Bringing a bit of cheer to some needy families in Washington at Christmas, was considered a worthy substitute for the doa advanced by one of our oble leaders lhat a Christmas tree celebration on the campus would be appreciated by students who were preparing to go home to their own Christmas trees. An altruistic committee, under the leadership of Ella Murphy canvassed the Class for aimes and bought food which went to make a merrier Christmas for some families. Increasingly difficult studies and positions of responsibility in Extra-Curricular Activities wore claiming the attention of the class, but kcoping Its pledge to perpetuate the time-honored traditions of the Student Body, the Junior-Senior Prom was dutifully sponsored. Funds were lacking as usual, but the spirit was strong even -53- (] = ■«= ) = ( =. J « � I BISON ( = i =� 0 = •€= ' = � = though the treasury was weak. The Juniors, under the leadership of George Butler, Chairman of the Social Committee, gave the Seniors a big time on the evening of May 6. 1932 with no qualms of inadequacy to mar the occasion. The politicians, much in evidence the next few weefs. arguing, gesticulating and generally mal ng a nuisance of themselves, were getting things lined up or the Annual Ballyhoo of Elections, at which time potential Seniors reap their just rewards (sometimes) for the three long years service in Extra-Curricular Activities. The results showed Charles Lofton, scholar and leader, the recipient of the highest office among rhe students, President o the Student Council. The other represen tatives from the Class were George Butler jcheers); George Handy (more cheors); Samuel Tucker [multitude of cheers); James Harrison (ovation); the class officers were: Lucius Young. President; Hattie Upshaw, Vice-President; Anita Smith. Secretary; Cordell Norman, Treasurer. Elections and exams over, we packed our trunks for home and other places, feeling that we hod fought a good fight. REALISM The campus really belonged to us this year! Not from the point of view of a braggart, but from the jX int o? view of one who has earned it. The Bison! There must by all means be one despite the depression and the Banking Holiday! The versatile Mr. George Butler initiated plans whereby the students would want a Bison whether thoy could afford ono or not. Dcspito tho depression, this Bison is intended to be the best the Cass of 33 hos witnessed since it entered Howard . . . thanks to the perseverance of George Butler. Editor-in Chief and George Handy. Business Manager. As the time of Commencement draws near the desire for something to remember you by becomes more pronounced. There is apparent gayety on the campus, but beneath this there is a sad not© which is occasioned by the tact hat the Closs of '33 is poised with just the toe of Commencement's boot needed to enlist it into the ranks of the Alumni. So we come to the end of four short years. Years choked full of happenings, replete with happy memories ara lasting •-iendships. Th© seeds of wisdom and spiritual freedom are duly sewn and only th© future can decide the extent of the harvest. However trivial and insignifican4, the acts staged in this theatre nave made four more years of history. Commencement, the beginning. •$ at hand.

It was a disorganized group composed of a motley array of individuals. They had one point in common— ‘ney were entering Howard University. After settling down to the steady run of college life, there carr.e that branching out that is characteristic of a group, each individual revealing his aptitude. Enthusiasm ran high thot first year and has scorcoly abated since. In the first class meeting the destinies of the class were put under the guiding hand ot Alvin Wood, assisted by Ahnastasia Scott Vice President: Charlotte Schuster, Secretary; John Hubbard, Treasurer; and Irving McCaine, Chaploin. That year tho class had the desire and evidently the ability to win everything. With this spirit, the debaters carried both cup and debate. The outstanding speakers were Leroy Scurry, Wiliiom McKinney, and G. B. Brown. The class cf ‘34 has had several of its members to stand cut n the field of dramatics. Some members of the class to participate n dramatics during the freshman year were Ahnastasia Scott, Audrey Moseley, Chester Fortune, V 'lliam Mueston. Angie Taylor, William Bevorloy, and Harrison D. Hobson. Athletic pursuits were started off with an overwhelming victory in the Rush. Breaking the tradition that had held for ten years, the class of ‘34 trimmed the closs of ‘33 to the tune of 7-0 in the football game. The basketball season brought before the spotlight Alvin Woods. Thomas Walker, Cleveland Jackson and William Spady. The athletic activities were brought to a close for the year with many victories in track. Friday, March 6. 1931, was the night of the Freshman prom. The ballroom, attractively decorated in class colors of green and gold, together with soft lights and sweet music, enhanced the occasion. The class officers for the sophomore year were Alvin Wood. President- Cec'l Androws, Vice President; Beatrice Hall, Secretary; W iliam McKinney, Treasurer; and Jamos Cather, Chaplain. The football game was lost to the Freshmen but the debotlng teem continued its meteoric career. The Sophomore prom i$ one that will long dwell in our memories. The members of the class turned out in great style during the scphomoro year for dramatics. Harrison Hobson was elected business manger of the Players. William Beverley. Louise P nkett, Leighla Whlpper, Josephine Griffin. Alvin Wood. Cecil Andrews, and Grace Desmond took important parts in several pc'formonces. In the fall of 1933 there wos a change in the administration of the class. Robert Williams was elected President; Gordon King. Vice-President: Marguerite Waller, Sectary; William McKinney, Treasurer; and Joseph Branham. Chaplain. -59 — SOPHOMORE CLASS Sophomore Class History OFFICERS Leroy Weeks Harold Nickens.......... Carlton B. Goodlett. Rosalind Butcher.................. President . Vice-President .. Treasurer ......Secretory THE Class of ‘35. under its new ti le, the Sophomore Class, has made a noble effort to remain true to its unprecedented success as a freshman class. Now as we regretfully see the curtain fall on our second year's attendance at Howard, we find our only consolation in -eviewing the class projects. During the fall quarter the sophomore class was busy grooming the raw material ' which is thrust upon us every year from a I parts of the country. The traditional frosh-soph competition was unusually keen. The sophomore football team managed, however, ro chalk up the first victory over the freshmen in five years. The sophomore class officially opened the Howard University prom season with a closed formal. Judging from its freshman and sophomore proms w© can not help but say. When better proms are given, the class of '35 will give them. One 0$ the many unusual aspects of the affair was that there were no checking fees. Incidentally, this measure was a direct outcome of the class enthusiasm overflowing Into the solving of problems confronting all the students. As an institution is known by its members, one could not fail to recognize the sophomore class by the accomplishments in all fields of endeavor cf its individual members. When Howard’s football season closed James Jarrett. Joseph Coles, and Ewart McGrudor wero recipients of lottors. Basketball soason ended with Emerson Porker, loynord Ha'lmon, James Bayton, and Thomas Reid os leitermen; Granville Warner os the manager; and Frank Pinn os the captoin. Kappa Sigma’s debote season concluded with Carlton B. Goodlett and Leroy Weekes as the only debaters to win debating's highest award, the gold Kappa Sigma key. The class Is now striving seriously to promote a picnic as a tribute to those and the countless others that hove given so freely of heir •financial and moral support to each and every class project. — 61 — FRESHMAN CLASS. Freshman Class History A GROUP o: enthusiastic young men and women lull of pep vim and vigor— eager to please and comply with every rule of Howard University, is the class of |936. Many complicated problems confronted this doss as they have all other Freshman classes, but it was soon realized that they had to be solved immediately. For this reason a considerable amount of thought had to be put into the selection of capable officers in order to carry forth the work of the class end. at the sene time. try to make it an inlor.sting one. Tho officers for the Autumn Quarter wore Schuyler Eldridge, a youth from New York, Presidsnt: E vin Lee, Washington, Vice-President; Theresa Teddy'' McCullough, Brooklyn, Secretory: Winston Mardis, Chicago. Treasurer. Although a bit noisy himself. Thomas McCoy, Sergoant-at Arms, maintained a degree of order during the meetings. A reserved sort of chap was Charles Willioms. Chaplain, whose beautiful prayers opened and closed each meeting. Every class must have a constitution—so President Eldridge acpcintod Lauretta Wallace as chairman of the constitutional committee together with Tnercsa McCul lough, Elvin Lee, Maz e Ridgely, and Delores Williams. With its first set of officers, the Class of 1936 successfully completed its first quarter at Howard University. In the winter quarter new offeers were again elected. Elihu Morson won the presidency from former vice-president, Elvin Lee. Jane Watson was elected vice-president. Lauretta Wallace became the secretary. Edward Bolden was chosen troasuror. Those students wore able to manage the affairs of such a heterogeneous group of students most effciently. The Sociol and the Banner Committees were appointed. C. Waldo Scott was appointed Chairman of the Social Committee, with Catherine Bonner. Ruth Brannum, Lauretta Wallace, Delores Williams. Frank Reeves. Robert McDaniel. Edward Bolden and Schuyler Eldridge. After a wrangle which extended through two meetings, the class dec’ded upon chorry and white ir preference fo blue and gold for the class colors. Mazie Ridgley was made chairman of the Banner Committee with Amanda Middleton. Evelyn Buford, William Clemons, and James Carey os members. Even though the committee members spent many sleepless nights worrying over the outcome of their greatest project, the prom was quite a success. It will hr remembered long after most of the other proms shall have been orgot+en. Freshmen have taken part in all activities of the un’vorsify. Bornord Ruffin, Ada Fisher, Leonard Hayes, and helma Dale tool leading parts in Howard Players productions. William Clemons was a member of the Vanity Debating tearr- Joseph Ware, Edward Bolden.

LONG WALK TREES Old things must pass, they say, and so the trees Which bygone springs have decked with feathery leaves Must go, and not our protests nor our grief Will stay them; but perhaps on fairer leas The old grads 1 gone before will recognize And hail their ancient friends and in their shade With memories fill their glad Elysian glade Ca I up old campus joys there in the skies. But we will miss them, and in April rains Will go less gladly down the old Long Walk And hear the whispering trees and small leaf talk Borne on the winds like bygone, faint refrains Down through the years like notes from a silv'ry flute Their ghosts will kindle hearts and leave them mute.

Along with the Freedmor's Hospital, it composes the medical unit of the University. The School ot Medicine is under rhe supervision of Dean Numa P. A. Adams, A.M. M.D.- Vice-Dean Lloyd Henry Newman. M.D. Acting Dean. College of Dentistry Russell Alexander Dixon, D.D.S.; and Vice Dean, College of Phormacy, Charles Joseph Fuhrmann, Phar.D. The school occupies two buildings; the new Medical School Building, erected and equipped in 1927 ot a cost of $500,000. and the original Medical Building, erected in 1868. The new building is occuoied by -he College of Medicine; tho old, by the Colleges of Pharmacy and Dentistry. The School of Medicine dates bock to 1869 when, under the name of Medical Department, it was organized. It was then composed of a medical college, a pharmaceutical college, and a general hospital. The deoartmant opened November 8. 1868. and the first sessions were held 'n he academic building. !r October 1869 tho cepe ment moved into the c'd Medical building. On Octobcr II, 1882, the — 67 — 1 «� � BISON Dental School was organized. During subsequent years the department was completely reorganized as the School of Medicine. In 1892 the Medical College became a charter member of the Association of American Med cal Colleges. In 1927 the College of Medicine moved into the new Medical Building: the old building was completely remodeled. Freedman's Hospital, while not owned by the University, is associated with the School of Medicine. Located between the north compus and the south campus, i is readily accessible to medical students. The hospital sto- is composed of members of the faculty cf the school. By courtesy of the Department of Interior, medical students also enjoy the advantages of observation and study cf patients suffering from nervous and mental diseases in St. Elizabeth's Hospital. School of Religion THE School of Religion, housed in an attractive specially reconstructed building which conjoins offices, class rooms, faculty rooms, and a deoartmental library, is an imposing part of our campus. The preoaration of men and women for Christian service is the avowed purpose of the School cf Religion. It was originally founded to train young men for the ministry, but has since broadened its curricula to include missions, social work and religious education. This school is inter-denomirat onal. consequently students are taught the great fundamental doctrines common to all evange col churches. An added advantage to a student in the School of Religion i$ the tact tha over 150 Negro churches of varied denominations are available with which he can keep in close relationship. Annual convocation is sponsored, at which some of the most noted leaders in th© various spheres of Christian activity address the students. The Schoo1 of Religion awards the two degrees of Th.B. and B.D. upon successful completion of the required work. — 68 — School of Dentistry THE development of dentistry at Howard University presents a very interesting background. It is surprising, no doubt, to knew that the first course offered in dentistry was that of d series of lectures on practical dentistry in October 1881. These lectures were conducted by Dr. James B. Hodgkin, a graduate from Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, who was at tha time a member of the Faculty of the School of Medicine. The following year, it was found that the students showed such great enthusiasm in response to the lectures that tho Medical Faculty decided to give a more specialized course in operative dentistry, which was taught by Dr. N. W. Whitcomb. It was this enthusiasm on tho part of the medical students which gave birth to the Dental Colloqe, and as a result, dentistry became a highly specialized unit o ' the professional schools. The development of dental education at Howord has been gradual but continuous. In 1929 the growth of the college had progressed to such an extent that the trustees deemed it necessary to reorganize the department and place at its head a dean who would devote his full time to the management and further development. Because of the caliber of training given and the high standards maintained by this department, graduates now erjoy full recognition by the Boord of Regents of the State of New York. — 69 — Cw( l wOC ( ) = ! ) = IVII BISON l -X ' = ) r. () The Dental College of Howard Univorsity, apart from offering it students the very highest quality of dental education, also provides o wholesome attitude towards the crofession so that its graduates will go out into the world with the most noble •houghr of rendering service, not only where it is needed, but o humanity ns well. THE SENIOR SENTIMENTS FOUR years ago. we were ambitious Freshmen enrolling for a great cause. Our hearts were heavy with gladness and uncommon joy. Wo were like little children waiting to be told what next to be done, yet we were like gallant knights, so to speak, ever on the alert for further orders. Why? Because with the dawn came new hope, new life and the b'rth of new careers. How very grand it all was! It reminds us of a beautiful dream—one that seemod hardly possiblo. However slowly the time has passed, and we look back in retrospect over the years that we've g'ven the best portion of our lives to and wonder if it is true that ■the end is really hero. How well do we remember how year after year we have scuffled. and sweoted and bit our lips as if in great agony, under the heavy strain which has been purely experimental. Many of us have suffered the lost of our •reasured loved ones during this time, but the class of 33 demanded that wo brace up and fight onward—never taking a backward step. Alas! The setting sun. Peace, tranquillity arvd home. The battle is won. The end of cruciol sacrifices made by our parents and ourselves has come—the very end of hell we say! Yet, now that we have conquered, would we sell our education, our contacts and the experiences gained? Emphatically, no! Not for all the treasures the world possesses—no, not even for Heaven itself, for we've found our Heaven in the degree for which we’ve battled, for which we've thrived, for which not only our fingers and feet nave become toil-worn, but for which our very hearts ond souls have been kept olive. And now. as a parting gift to all of Our patients and little friends of the children's clinic who nave so amiably aided us in attaining our goal, we wish -hem cont'nued health and happiness. We want them to know that we shall always cherish the memory of their pleasant faces. To our sacrificing teachers of this important but neglected branch of the Healing Art, we pledge ourselves to the establishment of an unselfish organization for the advancement of dental education among our group. In this, t is our hop© that the serious interference of the medical curr culum will be so controlled by dentistry from the beginning of the Freshman Year, that our undergraduates will receive the complete heritage of dentistry as it is taught today in most efficient schools and universities. In this way, the fullest meosure of their traininq in dental science may be had uninterruptedly. This, from a moral viewpoint, and out of primary concern for all humanity, will be manifestly magnified as we join the ranks and assume the powers cf fratres in alumni. — 70 — •o ■O' 19 13 BISON � School of Pharmacy THE Collage of Pharmacy, a unit of the School o: Medicine, has lecture rooms in the Medical Building and Thirkield Science Hall.

The curriculum prepares a student for the duties of retail pharmacist, analytical chemist in pharmaceutical and food laboratories, or for employment in various branches of the Government service. The coliege is recognized not only by the American Association of College of Pharmacy but also by the New York Department of Education. Its diploma is recognized in a' states. Prizes such as the $500 Fairchild prize to graduate students of pharmacy col leges holding membership in the American Association or College cf Pharmacy, the Lehr and Rnk gold medal prize, and the Nationol Association o' Drug Clerks life membership prizes, are offered annually.

Williams — 71 — 19 11 BISON School of Law THE School of Law had its origin in a Congressional Act of March 2 1867. At its organization on January 6 1869, there was on enrollment of six students. The number was increased to twenfy-twc by June 30, under the direction of A. J. Riddle, former member of Congress, and John Langston, who became vice-president of the University, and who was later made dean of the School of Law. The School held its first session on the second floor of the University main building, where if continued for a long ime. Subsequent sessions were held at 420—5 h St. N.W. hc homo of the late General R. D. Mussey. professor of the department-thereafter, the building, now the Second National Bank at 509—7th Street, N.W.; and later a site at the corner of 9th and S Streets, N.W., were occupied by the law students. Not long afterwards, the University purchased the building and premises at 420—5th Street, N.W., which the students have continued to occupy. During the administration of Dr. Andrew P.anlin not only was this purchase made but also remodelling and enlargements completed. Some of the funds for his purpose were secured largely through the efforts of Senator William M. Everts, and in recognition and appreciation of this aid the buitd ng was named Evart Hall. The School has had only eight deans. The first to servo in this capacity was John M. Langston, from 1869-74. The late Dean Mason Richardson, at the time of his death. November 7, 1921, hod been connected with the school for twenty-two years. He was appointed heaa in February. 1921 to succeed Dean Leighton. Judge Booth was appointed dean in November, 1921 and resigned in June. 1930. In 1932 the University discontinued its evening classes and begun a full-time day school. The School of Law was f deed on the approved list of the American Bar Association in 1931 by unanimous vote of the Council on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. It is he only Negro school in America ever to be considered for rating by the Council. From time to timo lawyers of groat roputc have delivered lectures ond series of talks to the student groups. Charles H. Houston is vice-dean now. in charge of the School of Law. — 72 — S';oooi of I, - Hv ♦-i 'r' '■¥ 1 , v - ’.• � - -ittftr.H -i w i.� !«. jh • ir s ’Viw.

Tho president of the Council is elected in the spring quarter and assumes office In the autumn quarter of the same year. Four of the thirteen members represent the senior class, four, the junior class, and two members each represent the freshman and sophomore classes. It was the purpose of the present administration to recreate an interest in extracurricula activities’ to secure some measure of recognition in the arbitration of matters pertaining to student discipline; to formulate and submit for ratification a new constitution ro the student body and to stimulate all athletics of the university. Without a doubt there has been considerable progress in extra-curricula activities. The Council as administrator of the student extra-curricula fees, has given aid to student organizations whose programs were hampered because of lack of funds. The administration as a result of Its efforts has witnessed greot progress in individual thought, group co-operation, and general high-spiritedness among the students. Various organizations such as The Ushers Club. The Historical Society, and The Y. M. C. A.. proposing to give voice to the special talents of various groups of students, have received acknowledgmem and support from the Council. The president of the Council has called a quarterly meeting of the leaders of all student organizations with an aim to st'mu'aie ihe organizations lo greater endeavors. These efforts have met with signal success. The Council has instituted a Memorial Day Service to pay tribute to those students who died while engaged in the sacrificial search for the training which would make them real benefactors in •heir community. Each quarter the Council has held an at home in honor of the Freshmen and new students of the uni versify. We hoc-e that these at homes' will become a tradition with the future councils. The electoral system has been rovised so that in the future pclitical affairs of -he students will be conducted in a more desirable fashion. Several organizations have been recognized by the Council and given points on the Achievement Award Cnart. Faculty members and students were invited to meet with the Council In order to effect a better understanding between the faculty and student body and between the Council and other student organizations. Several controversies arose which in-volved the interests of the students. All were satisfactorily settled. — 76 — The Hilltop P HE HILLTOP' in this the tenth year of its publication, has become a vital force In student life and affairs at Howard University. With a larger staft ■ than ever bofore, th© student paper has appeared bi-monthly since the first month of the school year. Several forward steps have beer taken by the paper this yeor. An editor‘al board of six. to determine the policies of the paper, was foundea in December. A platform was formed advocating reduction in fees, reform in student government, and a reawakening of the Howard spirit. To make the paper one worthy of the name was the goal of the staff. 'The Hilltop this year has been under the direction of Prentice Thomas, editor-in-chief' Alethia Smith, associate editor: Ulysses Lae manoging editor: Kenneth Clark, news editor: Anita Smith ond Mabel Madden, assistant editors.

On March 26 1929, Alpha Sigma was organized with great enthusiasm and courage, and had os its chorter members men of sterling initiative and deep insight into student extra-curricula activities. The nine men who created this new organization chose as its principle, achievement, and with this as he key word it embodies the original qualities that make for success. Alpha Sigma was the initial attempt to inspire a keen interest n extra-curricula activities and to promote a high and creditable scholarship. Membership in Alpha Sigma is limited to the ten most outstanding men of he Senior Class. Juniors ore eligible to be elected n the latter part of the spring quarter. The composition of Alpha Sigma this year is of special significance. In it are represented all the varied student activities among the men of Howard University.

During the past seven mon‘ns they have aaded several more splendid performances to their record. This year they hove been under the direction of John Lovell Jr., processor ot English. His task has been a new one for him and the difficulties under which he has labored have been many, but he has shown his characteristic enthusiasm and perseverance. Professor Lovell's own ability and versatility fit him for the oosition. and wc- thin! that both he and the Howard f 'ayers wifi have many happy memories of the year's work The group has been further fortunate this year in having the services of Jomes W. Butcher, Jr., graduate of the Un versify of Illinois. Dramatics is his particular field ana he has given freely of his time and energy to the group. Ho is talented not only as an actor, as those of us who saw ' The Whiteheaded Boty can affirm, but he is equally talented In the art of directing and stagecraft. As always, the Howard Players have been favored with the services of the loya: and able faculty business manager, Professor Gustav Auzenne, Jr. Tnis is his third year in this capacity, and he has demonstrated beyond the shadow of o doubt his financial ability. The flrsr performance of the year, in accordance with our Little Theatre movement was presented on February 4th in the Medical School Auditorium, and consisted of those one-act plays. They were ' The Stoker by Harold Brighouse. 'Blue Blood. by Georgia Douglas Johnson, and Murder, Murder, Murder, by Babett© Hughes. The new talent which the Howard Players have enjoyed in more abundance than ever before, contributed largely to the success of these p ays. George Laurence. Washington's own, carried off many honors in h.:s portrayal of The Stoker. C. Bernard Ruffin, also of Washington, proved himself capable, no? only in this play, but in another. The new combinat on of Ada Psher and Leonard Hayes provod an interesting one in the snappy play Murder, Murder, Murder. The Third play Blue Blood was written by an authoress of whom Washington s duly proud. Georgia Douglas Johnson, and she was the guest of honor of the Howard Players a? the performance. The two mothers in the play were characteristically interpreted by Ahnostosia Scott and Elizabeth Fry the bride wos p'ayed by Audrey Moseley, and the unlucky lover, who in the end saved the day. was played by Harrison Hobson. After the performance. Mrs. Johnson was preserved with a bouquet from the group. Sh'e was so pleased with the production thot she invited the casts of the three plays to her home, where they were royally entertained. Mrs. Johnson criticized the plays, commending all of The costs. We were or?unate also in having an evening of original poetry read by Mrs. Johnson, by OLr talented director, Profossor Lovell, and our own John Harris, the only undergraduate member of hc Howard Players possessing a ley. As a result, then, of this first program the Howard Pldyers — 83 — discovered their faults ond shortcomings, but they olso discovered th©ir folent and potentialities arc were encouraged to go on to bigger and better ‘flings. the second program of the Howard Players for the year was the presentation of the Morgan College Dramotic Club at Gamet-Patterscn Junior High School on February 24th. They gave three one-act plays, A Message from Khufu, Magnolia's Man, and Rain. The three plays were excellently portrayed in Morgan's usual style. This was ore of the exchange programs of The Negro Intercollegiate Dramatic Association. The third program of the Howard Players was The Youngest. a three-act comedy by Philip Barry. It was presented in the Dunbar High School Auditorium on March 25th. This was the crowning play of the season. James L. Thompson, another find or the Howard Players, took the leading role. The other characters were portrayed by C Bernard Ruft n, Grace Desmond Ernest Reed. Angella Turpeau. Wendell Quinn. Catherine Middioton, Valerie Parks, and Rosalind Butcher. The play was very amusing and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Just as the Morgan Players presented a program here, the Howard Players were scheduled to appear at Hampton on Aoril 1st. Twenty-three of them set out on the ofternoon of March 31st to carry the names of old Howard and of tho Howard Players to glory. In spit© of the determination of the bus to prevent their doing sc, rney finally arrived at Hampton, tired and Imay I say it?) viewing what is one of the most beautiful Negro campuses. The presentation was a great success, and they felt amply rewarded for their suffering and toil. They were entertained with tree Southern hospitality, and ore sorry that they cannot return soon. On the morning cf April 5th, after waiting exactly one hour for the leading lady, twenty-six loyal Howard Players set out for Richmond. Virginia Union University was the host at the tournament, and consequently, did not present a play. Those who participated In the tournament were Morgan College, which presented Bod Man. by Randolph Edmonds: Hampton Institute, which presented Fixins, by Paul and Irrran Green- and Howard University which presented Murder. Murder. Murder. by 3abe‘te Hughes: Virginia State College, which presented The Slave With Two Faces, by Mary Carolyn Dav es. The plays were all excellently presented. The first prize was awarded to Virginia State College, and the second to Morgan College. The Howard Players have not yet completed their year; however, they are planning to present a second series of one-act plays in April, and The Youngest is to be repeated, by popular request, during commencement time. — 84 — o« 19 15 BISON •« ■ No review of the activities of the Howard Player would be complete without mention of the stage crew of this organization. The Howard Players have been preserving plays with frightful and inadequate scenery for such a long time tha? seven men volunteered tc remedy ne situation. The constructed r its entirety the scenery which was used in The Youngest. ' and all who have seen ir laud its beouty. No one con doubt that It was one of the factors which odded to the success of that play. These men who constructed the scenery without any compensation whatsoever were Lionel Gant. C. Bernard Ru tin, Jr.. Augustine Best. Osceola Thornton, Roscoe Cooper, James L. Thompson, and James V . Butcher. Jr. To servo as an outlet for the variod intorosts and talents of the group, the Howard Players hove provided a number of projects for hcir members. There is a dramotic bulletin which broadcasts the activities of the group and provides a means of expression for the would-be authors and journalists o ' he club. It Is coed ted by Miss Audrey Moseley and Louise Pinkett. The Howard Players are also compil rg a history of their organization from its establishment in 1908 until the present day. The head of the ccmm tee to do so is M ss Marguerite Walker. The Howard Players ore also keeping a scrap book of the!' activities, headed by Miss Thelma Dale. They are looking forward to an experimental theatre which is to be built on the fourth floor of the Main Building. The Howard Players are planning, as usual, to end their year with a banquet at which the dramatic keys for distinguished service in the field are to be awardod. Several Howard Players will be lost to the group through graduation: John Harris. Herman Richards, Elizabeth Fry, and Valerie Parks. The Howard Players look back upon the year 1932 33 with mingled feelings of joy ond regret. The year has been one of sorrow and happiness, of setbacks, and progress, of accomplishments and failure. In spite of all his. however the Howard Players have emerged with increased vision, steadier hearts, and heightened courage. Ihey have discovered new talent, they have built up an efficient stage crew, they have broadened the interests and scope of the organization, and they have increased their circle of friendships. They are looking forward next year to a year of Increased joys, accomplishments, and glories accrued for their A -na Mater. — 85 — Kappa Sigma Debating Society FOR many years debasing has held a key position in the varied e tra-curricular activities at Howard University. A regular organization was founded to provide the quality of argumentation that this interest from the students domanded and also to meet the quality of formal disagreement presented by the teams with whom the major debotes were waged. This dua purpose was successfully met by the present Kappa Sigma Debating Society. By the plan of this Society, members are selected once during the school year. It is interesting to note that even though the members change from year to year there are many men who remain with the society and or its teams for their entire time spent a the University. These men are veterans in the work and as veterans execute the duties that devolve upon them. The designated time in the school year for the oddifion of new members finds these senior debaters active in the guidance of the prospective candidates. They aid the future debaters in the arrangement of the materia1 tho presentation of that material anc last {which by no means is unimportant in the Society's work) they attempt to instill in the new members a conception of the spirit which Is to motivate them as members of the Kappa Sigma Debating Society. from its beginning, Kappa Sigma had three fundamental purposes thot have now been definitely realized. — 86 — • -K� •«- ■ -� ■ - -v 19 I i BISON Su DC oOiiOiiGxi First, the society is interested in having its members thoroughly understand the rules and essentials of argumentat cn and logic. This is for more than the presentation of irrefutable arguments, which Is the desred goa! of all debate teams. Kappa Sigma seeks to train its members in accurate thinling on their parr and recognition of fallacies in the thinking of others. Once this practice is begun and is stressed by the Howard debating organization, the members of the teams ond society acquire a mental trait and hab t v hich makes them constantly or the alert for truth in everyone's thinking. Concise and correct- evaluation of issues becomes a goal in itself to the members. Second, the society is to allow the members opportunities to appreciate all social, economic, and political questions. This it saw was o grave necessity, especially to those who had selected special work in the various fields of college specialization. It can now be said of those who by graduation left Kappa Sigma that they worked, saw the truth and appreciated the consequences. The policy of a thorough analysis of important questions confronting our lives has inestimably aided the student to enlarge his acquaintance with tho manifold consequoncos of each social and political act. This as a trait in tho man will not be obliterated. Third, Kappa Sigma aims to develop in the students generally an appreciation of and training in adequate oral expression. He-e fne society has maintained on an increasing scale the student interest which gave rise to its organization. This inevitobly implies a grade of work by it which has met the complete approval of the student body as a whole and the patrons who have so many times listened to its presentations. To be sincere, logical, and yet pleasing are admonitions tendered by the Debating Society. The team for the year 1933 was coached by Mr. G. D. Lipscomb of the Department of English. Mr. Lipscomb very ably ana carefjlly coached the teams. Mr. Gustav Auzonno, of the Dopartmont of Commorco and Finance, acted as business manager. He, in that position, acquitted himself most pleasantly to the teams, for they debated teams from Ohio Wesleyan University. Fisk University, Oberlin College Westorn Reserve University, Hobart College, and Morehouse College. The president of Kappa Sigma is Samuel W. Tucker, a senior and veteran debater. Other members of the debating squad are Leroy Weekes. Carbon B. Good-lett (both of whom have earned the coveted Kappa Sigma Keys for meritorious work in varsity debating), Jess© Reed. Kenneth Clark, t-alcott A. Bradley, Leroy Scurry. William Clemons, and Philip Richardson. Other officers elected for the year '32-'33 are Lucius E. Young. Secretary- Fritz Morehead, Treasurer; James Kendrick, Publicity Monager: and Dudley Clark. Chairman of the Reception Commi tee. Kappa Sigma Debating Society has carried forward the traditions of the past and the policies and purposes it adopted in its beginning. Fu ure years can not bur be a continuation of the lasting work that is being done. — 87 — Maynard Literary Society THROUGH the influence of the Reverend Isaac Clark, D.D.. who was profossor and dean at Howard University School of Religion for twenty-five yeors.

Its director was filled with hopo and ambition to provide for Howard contoct with the outside world through a most direct and effective channel—the universa' tongue, that intangible art. music. From that nucleus has sprung one of the outstanding musical organizations of the country, the harmonies of which have played no small part in bringing added recognition to its Alma Mater, The annual concerts on the campus hove been prominent events throughout the twenty yeors of the dub’s existence. The tours have included Town Hall of New York, the Academy of Music in Philade'phia, Carnegie Hall in Pittsburgh. Hampton Institute. Charleston. W. Va.. Fisk University.

The result;, of his fine eadership were shown at he finest concert of the season in Rankin Chapel under the Artist Lecture Series.

The mentors are chosen on the basis of their university records: such records include the manifestation of initiative, ability, courage and sound moral character.

The first of these is the most ambitious of the national projects and has for its purpose the placing of adequate housing facilities at all schools where chapters are located. The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal'' is published by the Grand Chapter, and has been the only Negro college fraternity monthly in the world comparing favorably with other monthly publications. The Laurel Wreath, the highest honor that the fraternity can confer on its members, is awarded to Kapoa men who have achieved eminent distinction. On Decomber 17. 1920 the XI Chapter cf the fratornity was founded at Howard University with seventeen charter members. Since its founding Xi Chapter has participated and co-operated n every phase of student activity at the University. — NO — OFFICERS FOR 1932-33 Noble F. Payton Polemarch Leroy Weefces .

First event in this affair was a relay. The harassed Freshmen won this when the Sophs' anchor man dropped the bdlon. Reason for this was probably tha fact that the rrosh had too much practice in running al'eady. Next was a boxing bout—three Sophomores and three Freshmen—heavyweight, middleweight, and lightweight, in order of names. I was a grand slugging match and after the smoke of battle had blown over, the score shee showed one victory for the Sophs and one for the Froshes—the ether o tie; the pin race was held next. In this event which developed into a free-for-all. Sophs and Frosh settled all personal grudges by throwing eggs, tomatoes ar.d fists in all directions. The race was won by the Sophs, who had developed tomatoes and fist throwing to a superlative degree duo to previous encounters. The flag rush was then in ord©'. Sophs gathered around the flag ar.d withstood the Frosh onslaught so well tha when time was called and this festivity was over, the Sophs had chalkec up another victory. In the tug-of-war the Frosh gathered their scattered wits and pulled the socord-year men all over the field, just about drowning two or three of them in o pool of water. This officially endeo the rush, which resulted in a rie; however, the Frosh attempted to burn the Sophs’ colors and were promptly run helter-skelter all over the campus. Gang warfare was resumed when the Frosh staged a come back: then as both became ired the eventful period was ended with the singing of the Alma Mater. A:ter battling to a tie in the rush, the Frosh and Sophs got together in another traditional tangle, namely the football game. Up and down the field the two class teams bottled1 for one quarter neither team had the advantage. Then in the second quarter the Sophs pushed over the only touchdown of the gome. During the entire second half, both teams went scoreless as far as markers on the scoreboard wont, but many of the contestants at the end of 'he froy hod block eyes that were not obtained by walking into doors in the dark. The affair was very coiorful as Freshman and Sophomore lassies cheered their respective teams. An intra-mural 'rack meet was held during spring quarter. The Sophs again took the lion’s share of the victories. The class won the meet without any effort, bettering the other classes by 'en points. The caliber of the material shown during this meet speaks volumes for the seasoned track team. — 120 — Football WHEN Coach Tom Vordoll sounded the call for pre-season training, prospects for Howard's 1932 football squad were very dim the stars cf the previous season having all been claimed by graduation. The latest addition to the coaching staff. Bill Bell. All Big Ten Tackle in '31. brought new vigor to the line. The schedule called for seven games, with the unusual feature of playing the opening game on foreign territory. Although the rough spot-, were not completely ironed out by October 8. the day of the opening game had come and the Bisons were off on their l932-'33 season.

St. Paul wos defeated 14- 3. Thi; game was the first of ts nature between the two schools down in Lawrenceville. Haying on a doy made dreary ana sodden by rein. Howard was thirteen points behind at the ond of the first half. The Bisons came out for tho second half fighting mad howcv©'. and treated the spectators to an exhibition of power and undaunted nerve by overtaking tho load ond coming through to win. Starting a drive on their own twenty yard I re with repeated first downs by Johnson and Ware, and a ‘wenty yard pass from hall to Wore, Howard marched to the three yard line where Showboat Ware took the ball over for the first Howard score. The second touchdown com© when Coles recovered Jones’s fumbl-of a fair catch. Then as the result of a brilliant eleven yard run by Ware, the second touchdown was made. Little Sally Hall coolly booted the pigskin through the uprights for the winning point. YELLOW JACKETS' STINGERS EXTRACTED 6-0 Tho West Virginia Yellow Jackets’ stingers were extracted In the second game. Proud ond determined they came down from the hills of old Virginia only to withdraw on the short end of the stick to the tune of 6 0. After playing largely a defensive game in the first half. Howard came forth and as a '©suit of a sustained drive penetrated to State's one yard line where the stinging jackets held for downs. After this, the ball stayed in State's torrltory. The Bisons were not to be denied and ir the fourth quarfor of the game her famed passing attack was brought forth. Eight out of eleven passes were completed. One from Ware to Hall was good for twenty-eight yards, followed by one from Ware to Sewel which was good for nine. Dropping back in kick formation. Hall -'lipped a Twenty-seven yard pass to Sewall who eluded three tackiers and ran twenty yards for a Touchdown, the only score of the game. This run brought the crowd to its foe and the crescendo of noise was stuoendous. UNION PANTHERS CLAW BISONS 19-7 Up from Richmorc came the Partners of Union. The battle that followed was chock-full of thrills, but the end of the game found the Bisons on the sho-t end of a 19-7 score. The first hal� was listlessly played, both teams trying to feel out the other's weak spots. It ’ooked as if Union found the frst weak spot, for he Panthers — 123 — 1 O I f BISON concentrateo on the Howard ends to such an oxton that Coach Verdell had used eight flankers before the game was over. The firs touchdown was made by Union. Robinson. Panther half-back intercepted a Bison forwara oess and twisted and turned for seventy yards and a touchdown. Gaining possession of the ball afte' kick-off. th© Bisons marched down he gridiron. Repealed plunges by Sewall and Wore brought tho pigskin to Un'on's two-yard line whc-re Ware plunged over for the Bison's first and only touchdown. HaJI place-kicked for the extra point. Thus ended a disappointing but thrilling game. VA. STATE NOSES OUT HOWARD 6-0 In a grid ron duel filled with thrills and color, the bold, bad Bisons from Howard University were downed by the scintillating sons of Virginia Stote College. Tne Herd put up a great fight and consistently outplayed the Trojans, who entereo the fray with all odds favoring them and were expected to beat the Bisons by at least three or four touchdowns. But the Big Team started out with a rush and the end of the first half found the score tied at 0-0. In the third quarter, on a partially blocked punt by Hall on Howard's 15-yard line, and by penalties and plunging. Virginia State had the ovol on the Bison's five-yard line wi� n four down to go for touchdown. Three times did Bounds, the pounding fullback of State, hit tho forward wall of Howard without success and with on© last desperate effort he drove forward, but still two yards separated him from the promised line. The boll wos kicked out and once more the 7-ojans pushod the B'sons slowly back. At last gaining a scoring position quarterback Howe o: State slipped around end to Howard's four-yard line, and ,-rubby Bounds crashed over for the only touchdown of the game. MORGAN BEARS WIN FROM BISONS 13-6 Led by Tonk Conrad, the Morgan Bears lumbered to V ashington and trounced the Bisons to the tune of 13-6. Although the game was very bitterly contested and the home team consistently outplayed, the erd of the contest found the bears sitting on top with their fourth victory under their arms, and Howard on the bottom wi h its third consecutive defeat, laughing ot them. In the first period the Bisons. by short passes and line-bucks, brought the ball to Morgan's four-yard line, where they had four downs to go. but the stout Beor forwards withstood four plunges and Troupe xicked out of danger. Again ’he Bisons came within scoring distance, on the 20-yard line, but long passes. Ware o Stewart, failed twice. — 124 — : 1 9 J S HI SO N In the second period the ploy was in the middle of the field. Punts were frequent, with Sally' Hall getting the edge over Troupe end Conrad. Near the end of this perioo. Morgan gained tW- ball on their Own 35-yord line. On o double-wingbacl formation. Tar.it Conrad, Morgan fulloack, shot off-tackle, cu bac« and was out in the open. One Howard tackier missed him—two missed him—threo, four, five. six. seven, eight clawing, clutching tochlers missed ’he ponrher-like ball-toter who twisted and turned, side-stepped and stiff-armed in a beautify 65-yard run for a touchdown. Sturgis kicked the extra point and the first ha! ended, Morgan 7. Howard 0. In tho third quarte- the Bisons came bac� flat ng and on a beautiful pass Hall to Bolden. brought the oval to the 10-yord line. Hall went around end for five yords. Ware hit center for five more and on the next down plunged over for the touchdown. Hall missed the kick. In the last quarter Morgon, led by a quartet of ball-toting backs, swept down the field to Howard’s five-yard lino where Conrad knifed off-tackle for a touchdown which assured the victory to Morgan. BISONS SUCCUMB TO HAMPTON IRONMEN 19-6 Despite Howord's stubborn defense thot held Hompton to an even score until tho lost quarter, the stamina of Hampton's Ironmen bear down Howard’s resistance in the last few minutes of ploy, to win with a score of 19-6 ot the Polo Grounds of New York on November 12, 1932. Howard took tho kick-off and immediately made wo first downs on a 20-yard pass from Wa'-e to Hall and Ware’s 28-yord end-run when Hall kicked out of bounds on Hampton’s 10-yard line. Bell. Hampton’s right end, blocked Hall’s attempted kick, recovering the ball on Howard’s 46-yard line. Hampton's power-plays carried tho ball up to -h© five-ya'd mark, where the Howarc line hc-ld for downs. Hall's k ck was short ond Richmond ran the punt back to Howard's 14-yord lire. The Seasides, ofter forcing the ball to the five-yard line, were again held for dowr.$ by Howard's forward wall. Richmond again received he kick, returning the ball 15 yords for a first down on Howard's 20-yard line. Harris ran around right end, to be stopped only three yards from Howord's goal. Richmond skirted right end for a touchdown, bu failed to drop-kick for the extra point. BISONS TAME LINCOLN LIONS 12-0 Washington. D. C.. Nov. 25.—Favored by fair weather, the untiring devotion of 8,000 Howard and Lincoln fans, and a bitter battle between ancient gridiron warriors, the game last Thursday in the Howard University stadium upheld the trodition of he onnuel football classic, Howard winning with a score 12 0. — 125 — I 9 J I BISON Although Lincoln rovor threatened Howard’s goat, if was only Lincoln's mlqhty line that was oble to hold in the pinches, and Stewards three failures out in the clear to hold VWe’s passes that prevented a larger score. Hall and Ware in an exhibition of uncanny passes both forwards and laterals, together with their open-field running, were a constant threat to the Lion's defense. On just such a quarterback sneak that immortalized Carrideo of Notr© Dome, Hall slipped under the line and over the goal for Howard's first touchdown. A wide end-run by Hall behind perfect interference and the lateral to Ware, who ran 18 yards, accounted for Howard's second score. Both attempts for the extra point failed. Although outweighed by 15 pounds to the man from end to end and pitted against seasoned veterans, including Veney, the 256-pound guard. Howard's forwards crashed the Lincoln wall ard repeatedly reouised attempted drives. Perhaos the unsung hero of the game, especially if his team mates' opinion is to be respected, was Groonloo Howard's co-captain and left tackle, who ployed through the entire game with a fractured right hand—the injury thot had held him on the bench since the West Virginia game. Just as the Bison's v'etory closed the Howard season in a blaze of glory, so did Greenlee Payton, Hall, Stewart and Palmer close their careers in college football, as they will be lost to tho oam next yoar by graduation. — 126 — Soccer FOR the last four years the soccer team has faced its rivals both at home and on enemy territory and has maintained a clean slate. It nas held the championship of the soccer world among schools of the Colored Inter Co'logiato Athletic Association for four consecutive seasons. For hree of these seasons not a single defeat was encountered by the team. A brief summary of last season's games will serve to convince anyone of the toam's ability. In the first game aga ns- Hampton, it was victorious to the score of 9-2. In a game against the Medical School team, made up of stars of yesterday, it again won, 8-0. Came the return game with Hampton, played on a field that resembled a water-polo field. The score was Howard 4. Hampton I. In the last game of the season, against Lincoln. Howard won 3 1. On account of inclement weather, the home game with Lincoln was cancelled. Bu alas! A sad note must enter into the heme. With June comes graduation and the loss of the best players the gome hos ever seen. But such is the ate of every' college team. Nine veterans will be lost to the team this year through entrance into the professional schools. Only fivo of last year’s squad will be available and only two veterans of the old guard —Lashley and Colser. From a nucleus ot five men with some varsity experience, a team must bo built. However, we tnow without o doubt that the future record of Howard’s soccer team will remain unnrarred, and the worl of such men as Captain Bertie Burrowes. Arthur Gray. Aubrey Willacy Aubrey Lindo. Paul Lindevoldt, Lenwor’h Jacobs sr.d John Rngbir will not be In vain. Howard s soccer team will loom forever on the horizon as a menace o all rivals. — 127 — Basketball Officials OFFICIALS John H.

Employing his usual effective and popular method of eliminating the inexperienced men, Coach Burr soon had His squad down to an easy working number and the lost of December saw the squad in mid-season condition. The outstanding feats of the team before the hoi days were the defeating cf Minor Teachers twice by large scores, and the burying of a team of former varsity men under an avalanche of baskets. HOWARD 27— BLUEFIELD 33 Por the first time since Coach Burr's coming to Howard nine years ago, the team lost its opening game on Saturday. January 7, in the Howard University Gymnosium, to a fighting team from Bluefield. W. Va. Pinn was the only returning veteran from the 1932 squad: also Ware and Norman did yeoman work for the BJsons, while Carmichael and Horton carried the fcrjn of the Bluefield offense. HOWARD 35—ST. PAUL 25 The next game was all for Howard. The Bisons. still smarting from the surprise defeat at the hands of the Bluefield cogers. literally tore up the little ' Normals and Industrials from St. Paul, Va. Again Pinn and Ware led the scoring ;or the home team with Martin and Jones heading the Virginians. HOWARD 37—MORGAN 44 Though Howard wos defeated by rhe score of 44 37. the Howard court squad and the champion Morgan Bears played one of tho fastest and most bitterly contested scraps seen on a local court during the present season. The lead see-sowed back and forth and it was only in tho last quarter rhat the Bear's famous offense came into its own and slowly drew awav from the fighting Bisons. Two newcomers to the varsity five provided the fireworks for the heme boys. ‘Pinky McCarthy and Tom Reid repeatedly kept the Bisons within striking distance of the Bears with long, arching shots — 129 — OC= oc= i G ) =K)'C= ){= 19)1 IU SON C ()C IIC_ (| _ II (' fhat kep the crowd on edge. But no one may slight the great team.wori. of the Morgon Bears—Gibson. Troupe. Hackett. Sturgis. Wilson: not to forget Ccach Hurt of Morgan. HOWARD 31—VA. STATE 33 On their first trip away, the Bison ran into another Tartar in the form of the Trojans of Virginia Steto at Ettrick, Va. The game was fast and well played and both teams wore out when they left the floor. For Howard. Tom Walker and Joe Ware did best, while Scot? and Butler shone for the winners. HOWARD 27—HAMPTON 29 On the following night the Bisons were treated to another dose of Southern hospitality when they were nosed out of victory in one of the most exciting bosketbal' games in the annols of athletic rivalry between the two schools. In the last two minutes of play, with tho score at 27 all, the ball was tossed up at contar, there was a swirl and rarcle of legs: out of tho pack came White of Hampton with the prized sphere in his possession and leaping high, he sank the last and winning basket. Pinn made 10 points for Howard. Carter, 9; while White scored I I points for the Seasiders. HOWARD 26—MORGAN 63 The next game was played in Baltimore against the Morgan Bears, who clawed the Bison to shreds with an overwhelming score of 63-26. The Bisons fought a great fight, but he Bears were on and therein lies h© story. The best men in the game may be truthfully said to have been the champion Morgan team. HOWARD 30—HAMPTON 26 Before a home crowd of 2.000 loyal rooters, the Bisons came to life and unleashed all of their pent-up fury upon the heads of the Seosiders from Hampton Institute. The qamo was fast and both teams may be commended on tho small number of fouls called during the fray. For Howard, Pinn. Ware, and Carter shone, with White doing splendidly for the Seasiders. HOWARD 43—LINCOLN 27 The Liens of Lincoln como to town, and just as in the Thanksgiving gridiron classic these same Lions had to be contented with being second best in the contest. — 130 — Borgon stood out for Lincoln; and Reid, Carter, Ware, and Pinn carried on” for Howard. HOWARD 33—VIRGINIA UNION 27 The Union Panthers came next. They invaded the stamping grounds of the rampaging Bisons and it was owful for the Fonthers. The “Local Lads merely played with the boys from Richmond and the game evolved tself into a listless effort of passing time. Corner and Reid carried mosr of Howard's burden, with Lee holding up Union. HOWARD 44—VIRGINIA STATE 39 In their last home game the Bisons put on one of their oest exhibitions of cage-work for the year. The ''Trojans'' had to be reckoned with. With Butler ringing up baskets on every hand, the Hilltop cagers had to hustle to keep ahead, but rose to every occasion to beat down rallies by the Statesmen. Pinn, Carter, and Ware aga n were the spearheads of Coach Burr's attack, while Butler and Hall starred for Va. State. HOWARD 27—LINCOLN 12 HOWARD 26—LINCOLN 18 Howard University basketball team closed its season in a blaze of glory with victor cs over Lincoln in Philadelphia on one evening and at Orange N. J., on the following evening. At Philadelphia the Bisons had things just about their way and the only thing ♦hot marred an othewise perfect evening was the painful injury suffered by Showboat Ware, who was forced to spend the next two nights in a Philadelphia hospital. On the next niqht the two teams played before a crowd of 2.500 at the Orange Armory. The gome was the annual George Washington Birthday gome sponsored by the North Jersey Chapter of Howard Alumni Association. The gome was all Howard's although the Lions fought hem at every Turn. For the two games Ware. Carter. Pinn Pinky McCarther, and Reid shone for Howard; with Bergen. Brown, and Perkins stondlng out for Lincoln. W. CLEVELAND JACKSON. '34. 19« H ISON Track HOWARD'S 1933 cinder-path squad hod its hopes of winning a championship greatly dimmed by the graduation of such stellar performers as Phil Fernandes and Ellsworth Parker, half-milers: William Moore, in the weights, and George Jones, hurdler and dashman. With the loss of these men it would seem as if Coach Tom Verdell would be very doleful, but he is just the opposite, for among his 1933 edition of trackmen he has developed threo or four capable performers and with a number of last year's squad he is rounding out a well-balanced track squad. The varsity men who are returning from last yeor's squad are: Captain-elect Walter Davis, of Coatesville, Pa.; Davis stars in the high jump and shot-put. There ore Leroy Scurry of Jersey City. C. I. A. A. sprint champ; Edward Plummer, dashman from Saranac Lake, N. Y.r Louis Aikens of New York City, high jumper arc broad jumper Paul Palmer of Coatesville. Pa., shot-put and javeler; Henry Letcher of Washington. D. C.. quarter-miler and dashman; and last but not least Wee Willie Cheyney of Coatesville. Pa., unbeaten in the quarter mile for three years in C. I. A. A. competition. The more promising of the new men who are seeking berths on the squad are Thomas Reid, middle-distance runner Frank Pinn, miler; Lewollyn Holloman and Robert McDaniels, sprinters. Four track meets have been scheduled for the Bison thin-clods. The first will be the Penn Relays on April 28. 29. and following in the order are a Triangular Meet with Lincoln and Morgan.

Clad in robes of majesty, O Howard, we sing of thee. Be thou still our guide and stay, Leading us ;rom day to day; Male us true and leal and strong, Ever bold to battle wrong; Wnen from thee we've gone away, May we strive for thee each day: As we sail life's rugged sea.
