Childers with hor appointment as the first director of tho School in 190A Under her leadership the years were witness to the expansion of fncihlio'., the increase of pe'sonnol, the acquisition of equipment and the enrichment of the scope and influence of its work. Today, music at Howard University stands at an important crossroad in its history. It has the distinction of being first among Negro schools to offer tho Mus.B degree and now it accepts the challenge of being the only School ol Music in Negro Universities. 80 £na Katharine Ruth Alston Major: Nursing AluMitlXf, Aranna Elizabeth Anderson Hometown: Toledo, Ohio Major: Nursing Organizations: President of Student Council, Student Organization, Solf Culturo Club, Basketball Club, Capi. of Basketball Team, Choir, Dramatic Club, Chi Eta Phi Sorority Ambition: To specialize in operating room technique, later in nursing education Beatrice B.

DIXON 7a the Senior Gla l In bentikt iq, 1949 THERE will be mutual rejoicing in that memorable hour when you will come ro realize the fruition of your professional aspiration. At this hour, the University will 'confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Denial Surgery, with all of the rights, privileges, and duties pertaining thereto. With these lime-honored words, there comes to you that historic charge which learned men in their seasoned wisdom have regarded as all-inclusive of what rewards you reasonably may expect from the acquisition of an education and, conversely, what society reasonably may expect of you because of your special educational advantages. What are the rights of you who have achieved professional status? What are your privileges? What are your duties? Your rights are those which come to you who, in the light of your professional and scientific knowledge and ethical behavior, deserve the respect, confidence, and good-will of your fellow men. Your privileges are your unique opportunities for service which dispel the suffering and insure the well-being of those who confidently lean upon you for the preservation and restoration of health. Your duties, attendant with rights and privileges, are those moral compulsions that require you to give of yourself fully, conscientiously, tirelessly, and courageously—all that you have acquired whenever and wherever your services are needed for the physical and spiritual blessings of all mankind. With a wholesome regard for the composite of these three abstractions— rights, privileges, and duties—the concrete structure of professional maturity will be manifest in you. Therefore, with our blessings and confidence which you richly deserve, and with this expression of trust, we rejoice at your outgoing while the world will rejoice at your incoming. 97 Russell A.

To broak tho ico of an undertaking is difficult. If tho obstacles do not yield nt some given point, we imagine that we have made no headway. In any large or prolonged undertaking we are likely to take too limited a view of the progress we are making,- however, the women in dentistry and dentol hygione have proved to a large degree their value to the profession and their right to consider themselves a part of its progress. We cannot change the past, but our spirit at this moment will in some measure shope our future.

So read 26 stalwart, ambitious young men in the fall of 1945 and subsequently entered the hallowed halls of the old dontal school (wo shall call it tho old donial school sinco wo, as the class before us, were promised that we'd g'aduate from the new building). We were an odd crew, gathered from all parts of the eastorn half of the United States, the Virgin Islands, Trinidad, and British Guiana, married, near married, singlo, gay, somber, scored, determined, ex G.I.'s, 4Fs, and the too-young-for-drafting We, 26 embryonic young (most of us, that is) dentists, fresh from collcgo and other less montally stronuous pursuits, wore projected post-haste into an assembly line, suporsonic, postwar dental education. Our first shock hit tho class at 8:00 A.M. on our first day of school when Dr. Talkathon Wilkerson st'ode into Bio-chem lecture a-talkin' away . . . having started the lecture halfway down the aisle The class was already two paragraphs behind and, except for Ike Henderson with his shorthand, no mombor of tho class ovor caught up. Dr. Mose Young somewhat simplified our freshman year by giving us the great secret of learning—open tho book ond rood I Tho verbose Dr. Cobb blow our ogos into bloom with his constant insistence that we were the cream of 13,000,000, only to have Dr. Mother Moore shatter the bub-blo of illusion with her quiet invitations to come upstairs with her (said the spider to the fly). Our successos with Doan Dixon's Introduction to Oporativo and our olation over loarning Dental Nomenclature buoyod us up again, but Dr Scott administered the usual pin-in-the-bubble by issuing another piece of wax after he'd seen the anomalies we presumed to call reproductions of normal anatomy. Wo weathered the storm of lab practicals, bio-chom oxams, formaldehyde toars “in tho cool of the ovening, Dr. Monotone McKinney’s lecture on warm afternoons (where nor-colepsy” Hondorson should havo boon decorated for dive bombing) and hours of peepin' down that barrel. We managed to stay afloet until those last torrific two woeks when both barrels oponod a barrage—spring exams: the famous cadaver waltz, bactenology, neuro-anatomy, etc. After a half summor's susponso wo woro all invitod to ro-turn that fall as sophomores. Our second year in the battle of the books, bottles, and brains, and dogies beset with no end of difficulties, phobias, and long to be remembered sounds, Is the dog still breathing? ', If you can't tool that foil on the manikin, unscrew the tooth. We wadod through more practicals, picrotoxin, spot quizzes, x-ray mounting, ethics, operative armamentaria, bad luck with castings, and the long hours of patience that too often ended in defeat and another blowin' away finally to get our M.D.'s at tho end of tho second quarter. We rejoiced, but tho proclinical battle was still ahead of us. Then, summer, and 23 weary, but happy veterans were turned loose on tho unsuspecting public—the clinic at lastl Calculus and stains, p'ophys and mouth exams for two weeks, then that first Class I—pulp fever, pathological exposures, red tapo, pationt psychology, rocking foils, and the sickening sound of an amalgam cracking as you removed tho matrix. Asconding to the upper classes brought relief from burning tho midnight oil, but substituted soro feet and aching backs as the Class of '49 plungod into tho struggle for points like a colony of heave's. Our junior year wasn't all sweat and tears for Banks and Fabio and Sparks took timo out to say their 1 do's. Johnson and Wray added a member to Ihoir families (thanks for the cigar, Charlio), and Stripling and Brown entered Creokdom via Alpha and Omega, respectively. We started pedodontia after tho first quarter and the clinic was overrun with gremlins squirting water, riding the chairs Tom Mix style, ond playing havoc in general. Before the yea: was over Brown, Smith, and Stripling had received commissions with tho U.S. Army and were sporting their uniforms to classes. Through the heat of the summer of '48 we pyramided our points far above the junior requirement We paused for a moment to gnthAr some loungo points and count our bloss-ings. Tho ombryonic doctors of dental surgery having graduated from crown and bridge a la dentiform to crown ond bridge h la o'al cavity, from the ivorines (on dentiforms) to the ivories, from surgery lectures to blood, bone, and bi-zygo matic fractures, from prosthetic dontistry to prosthodontio, we were a proud and confident crew. Asido from the “blood, sweat, and tears associated with the dental school, we had our share of bad luck. In our junior year Sidney Bu-no!to suffered illnoss, but was able to join us in the senior yoar that fall. Chew Berry had to drop out the second quarter of tho junior year because of illness which would not permit him to catch up with us Wo wish him good luck ond good health for noxt year.

Construction will begin in the vory near future. bental ScAaat Accredited AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION'S COUNCIL ON DENTAL EDUCATION FULLY APPROVES H. U. COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY of Howard University has been accredited with full approval by the Council on Dental Education of tho American Dental Association, according to an announcement in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association. Dr. Russell A. Dixon, Dean of the College of Dentistry, on being asked to confirm tho report, stated that he had been officially notified of the accreditation by Dr. Harlan H Horner, Secretary of the Council on Dental Education. The official repot! ol tho Survey Committee to Dean Dixon stnied, in part, that Howard continues to enroll a high percentage of college graduatos. Sho stood in the first four schools in this regard in the original survey (in June, 1943) and apparently has not lost her place. Other dental schools fully accredited by the association at its recent meeting wore: Tho School of Dentistry of the College of Physicians and Surgeons at San Francisco, Calif ( the School of Dontal Medicine of Harvard University at Boston, Mess. the School of Dentistry of St. Louis University at St. Louis, Mo., and the School of Dentistry of Temple University at Philadelphia, Pa. In on interview, Doan Dixon stated that within a few years tho Dental School will be housed in a new building which is to be erected on available spaco adjaconl to tho oxisling Medical School building. For this building, Congress authorized, prior to July 1, 1947, an appropriation of $42,480 for advance planning and of tho same date made an additional authorization of $1,805,430 for the construction ol the building. Dr Dixon indicated further that the building coordinator, Julian Cook, has practically completed his work in connection with the plans, and the actual process of construction will begin in the near future. Dean Dixon stated further that one of the most outstanding gifts that has come to any of tho dental schools in Amorica in recent years came from the late Dr. Louise C. Ball, a dentist of New York, who for twenty years was a member of the Board of Trustees of Howard University. Ho: overlasting interest in dental education was manifested in her gift of $334,697,21, specifically to the Collego of Dentistry of Howard University for postgraduate studies of its faculty and alumni. 106 Dr John A Tuinet. Head ol the Department of Oral Surgery, cenler, hold comuliarion concerning an interesting caie with several members ol the Denial School ttaH This sum also provides lor scholarships lor women in dentistry and in dental hygiene, and for several prizes which had been offered by Dr. Ball for many years. Two members of the faculty aio already receiving graduate training under Louise C. Ball Fellowship grants Dr Harry M. McLinn, who has boen appointed Assistant Professor of Orthodontics, is one of the recipients of o fellowship gront. Ho graduated from the Dental College in 1944, and is currently pursuing postgraduate studies at Columbia University. The other recipient. Dr Norman H. C- Griffiths, a graduato of tho Class of 1947 who has boon appointed Assistant Pro-iossor of Prosthodontia, is now taking postgraduate courses nt Northwestern University. With this outstanding contribution, thero should never be any remission in the progressive development of the faculty and of the alumni, Dr. Dixon added.

Looking back to 1945, we find that ihere were only a few members of the present class who were then classified as freshmen. Some were attending other schools, but most were serving in the armed forces of the country. It can be seen, therefore, that this class is composed essentially of three groups: the veterans, the transfer students, and those who were freshmen in 1945. The class, as it stands today, can be safely said to have started about three years ago. This was during the time when the majority of veterans were returning. Prior to the war, the enrollment in the Engineering School was small, but during this period it rapidly increased. The 1949 class is the largest ever to be graduated from E A up to this lime. Our hopes are high for the future, as we go into the world to compete for standing in our chosen fields. CiaM, Will WE, THE CLASS OF 1949 of the Howard University School of Engineering and Architecture, declare this to bo our lost will and testomont. We give, bequeath, and doviso to the Class of 1950 in complete and porfoct ownership, all rights and property of ovory claim and nature, whether real, personal, or mixed, wherever situated, appointing you executrix, without bond and giving you seisin thereof.

A staff of volunteers was organized, and a contest was held for the purpose of choosing a name for the new publication. The purpose of this paper was to provide a means of expression for the students of Engineering and Architecture, to bring to light problems to be faced in the engineering world, and to acquaint other members of the U with happenings in the Engineering School. The first Slipstick was released in December, 1947. The editor is elected by ballot, and becomes a Council member. Other members of the staff are volunteers. The paper is published quarterly. 114 Ue Ncdia+tal 'lecluticcd AiAociaUa+t The Nalional Technical Association is an association of Negro technical men. The object of this organization is to collect and disseminate the information concerning the opportunities of Negroes in the technical and engineering fields, to aid and encourage Negro youth in preparation for these fields, to advance science and engineering in all of its branches, to promote the interest of the profession among the darker races, and to break down the barriers in the profession due to race prejudice. Student affiliates of the Nalional Technical Association are shown below. 1 IS A. 9. Z. Z. The first students of the Howard University Electrical Engineering Department became student members of the American Institute of Eleciricai Engineers in November, 1948. The objective of the Institute is the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical engineering, and the maintenance of a high professional standing among its members. This organization affords opportunities for independent activity and initiative on the part of students, and for cultivating qualities needed by the engineer, which are not offered in the classrooms and laboratories. 116 ' EQUAL JUST Dean Groi'jt M.

In 1946, after several years' absence, a practice trial court was re-established under the supervision of Dean George M. Johnson and his faculty. In the trial court, tho student propnres and presents a case for trial as ho would in actual practice. He files pleadings and motions, impanels the jury, examines and cross-examines witnesses, and makes his arguments to the court end jury He learns that the lew books and legal writings are his tools and that the success of his client depends upon his skill in utilizing these tools to the best advantage. The job of the student in the practice court is difficult and the labor is long, but he soon realizes and appreciates the infinite value of his experience as a lawyer in the practice court.

Hazardous . . . liko tho many mornings wo oagor boavers arrivod just a few minutes before our eight o'clock class and Iroze—while the ''personnel” of the University marched in and closed the door. . . . And the eternities we suffered while our grades were being determined. But then the final gripe, our names and grades were posted on the bulletin board. Pleasant . . . like Charter Day and holidays—no classes. During tho orientation period wo found out that learning to moko liko a lawyer” was more complicated than most of us had imagined But in spite of the fact that we were confined to low books, we found time to organize, that first year. Victor Cook was elected president, Halcotl Bradley, vice-president, Peggy Strauss, secretary, Hazel Tucker, treasurer, and Lemuel Sipuel, sergeant at arms. John Thomas and James Overton represented us on the Court of Peors. The political campaign of the second year was staged by the supporters of Damon Keith, whose vote-winning prowess assured him tho opportunity to be the most outstanding Chief Justice of the Court of Peers in many years. The peculiar feature about the man of the year is that he has fulfilled his campaign pledges. (U.S. politicians, take note.) We elected new officers for the year 1947-48 They were Dorsey Lane, president, James Overton, vice-president, Lucille J. Williams, secretary, Hazel Tuckor, treasurer, Lemuel Sipuel, sergeant at arms. Wilbur Sewell and Halcott Bradley represented us on the Court of Peers. During the school year 1947-48, w« celebrated with the faculty the restrictive covonant decision, because we felt we had a part in the victory. We paid strict attention to all cases involving Civil Rights” and crowded the Supreme Court to hear those cases argued. The third year found us a more closely knit body. At this point wo had no illusion that tho study of law had ceased to be a seven-day proposition. Jamos Overton was elected president of the Senior Class, Bob Campbell, vice-president, Lucille J. Williams, secretary, and Compton Taylor, treasurer. Hazel Tucker and Joseph Hines were named to the Court of Peers. Several class members who acted os heads of committees distinguished themselvos by their cooperation, initiative, and service. Robert Hainsworth and his Program Committee procured spoakers for various class meetings Among the speakers were Atty. George E. C. Hays, Professor Howard Jenkins, Judge James A Cobb, and Mr. William Coleman, clerk to Mr. Justice Felix Frankfurter Leona Pouncey served as chairman of the Social Committee. The committee set a record lor class entertainment. Fond memories of oui third year are the Court of Peers Dance at Carver Hall and the Class Christmas Party, held at the Dunbar Hotel Lounge. Our fond hope is that Howard Law students will soon have a building of their own. We represent a cross-section of the United Slates—from the Far West to the Near East, from South to North. One ol us comes from the Virgin Islands. Upon graduation, what was once a physical unit becomes a group spread thin. Each student will carry in his heart a warm spot for the Howard University Law School—for the fine grade of instruction from interested teachers and for the many friendships which have been fostered here. We look forward to glorious careers. Wish us luck I BARRISTERS BALL COMMITTEE Gov. William H. Hastie, of the Virgin Islands, and Congress-woman Helen Gahagan Douglass were among fhe distinguished guests present at the Court of Peers dinner.

Kappa fti Medical Society KAPPA PI was founded March 16, 1926, at Howard Medical School. The idea of such a society was conceived by Dr. John J. Goldsberry in an effort to combat the disunity among the medical students resulting from rivalry between different fraternity groups. The aims of Kappa Pi are the promotion of scholarship and research in medical school, the encouragement of a high standard of character among medical students and graduates, and the recognition of high attainment in medical school, practice, and related fields. The present members of Kappa Pi listed in the order of their scholastic standings in their respective classes are as follows: Seniors: Paul Guth, president; William Gibson, vice-president; Edward Mason, secretary, Joseph Parker, treasurer; Carolyn Hammond; Angella D.

Coiley Home Manager Chauncey Levy Vice Pierideal OuA ftcuit . . . THREE years and five shori months ago, we entered the College of Medicine—a new class—sixty-nine strong, collected from all corners of the United Slates and its protective Isles, and dedicated to the proposition that we were all capable of becoming doctors. Unique we were in that we were endowed with the charms and graces of nineteen comely females. We dare say that never before in the history of this, or any other medical school in this country (except those especially for women), has any other class been so endowed. Soon we were engaged in the bloody battles of Anatomy, Bio-chemistry, and Bacteriology—testing whether we, who were so endowed and so dedicated, could long endure. After a nine months' siege, we emerged victorious, having lost only four of our original band. During the summer we rested while our wounds healed and returned in the fall of '46 with renewed strength and determination. We were joined by four new members, which kept our number constant. A memorable year was this and, except for a few uncomfortable days in Physiology, occasioned by the untimely death of a dog or the collapse of the apparatus, it was very pleasant. We even had the lime and energy for two dances, the smoker, and a party. The struggle was neither long nor hard and consequently our casualties were few. At the end of the year our number was sixty-six. Then came the testing year—the term 1947-48. Two new members were added to our ranks. We needed the additional strength because we were constantly besieged from September to June. Exams, operations, ward work, never a moment's letup. We stumbled wearily however, through and scurried to our respective homes to gam strength and renew our courage for the finale. Two of our number did not return in the fall. Only sixty-six sagacious seniors swaggered through the austere portals of the medical school. After one week in the outpatient clinics and a few dozen missed diagnoses, this swagger had diminished to a slow trudge. With two successful quarters behind us, however, the old swagger and confidence have returned and today, we stand sixty-six strong, hopeful, prayerful, and anxiously looking forward to launching out into a lifetime of service to mankind. 136 Qua m2£AicdiaeA FACULTY POLL MOST POPULAR Dr. Robert Jason BEST INSTRUCTOR Dr. J.

LAST Monday evening, as I sa! in Principles of Operative Surgery, valiantly attempting to ward off the almost irresistible embrace of Morpheus, my astral self suddenly seomed to be projected into time and 1 found myself in the middle of March 1969. I had just interviewed my last patient and 1 was not too sure whether it was she or I who needed psychiatric care. I sank wearily into the nearest chair and begun to riffle through the day's mail. Well, what do you knowl An invitation to Charter Day Exercises and the Charter Day Dinner at Howard Univeisiiy. Just the excuse I needed to get away from it all. 1 hurriedly packed, boarded a Stratoliner and in n matter of hours landed at the National Airport in Washington. Walton Johnson, now associate Professor of Medicine, who was to bo my host, met me at the airport and wo drovo rather leisuroly through a Washington which overtly had remained the same for 20 years. That evening I was pleasantly surprised when I came down for cocktails to find Joe Parker, who had recently published his revolutionary work on the management of transverse position in pnmipara. Same ol’ Joe, except for a few more pounds and o few less hairs. Dr. and Mrs. Stansbury wore there also Stan had succeeded in buying threo-fourths of Havro do Grace, with the proceeds of his lucrative general practice. Vermelle and Joe Dyer dropped by but only stayed a minute becauso thoy had left their sixteen-year-old daughter's birthday party. She mentioned that Imogene Johnson, who was practising with her husband in Indiana, would not bo ablo to como down for Charter Day as she had planned Drs Aris T and Faye Allon came over about an hour later. They have four sons now. Faye had tidings of many of our old classmates. Angella Ferguson was part owner and Medical Director of a hospital in, of all places—Florida. Harry Martin had established a flourishing practice in Denver and his triplet sons, Harold, Herman, and Harvoy, were premcdical students on the Hill. Oscar Graves, Calvin Sinnelte, Sam Brisbane, and Tommy Jones were all urban physicians, having offices in the heart of Rushmore Center (formerly Harlem). Arthur Sarau and Henry Paul both fell in love with the beauty of California, or should we say California's beauties, married and had passed these last few years in affluence as prominent coastal physicians. After digoshng all these startling facts while ingesting a few dry martinis, we all left for Charter Day Dinner. You'll never know how near I came to fainting when the Head of the Anatomy Department, acting master of ccrcmonios, turned out to be Ben Walker. Edward Mason also sat at the speaker's table. He was receiving the alumni award for having found a euro for aleukemic leukomia. During the course of the ovening we met Dr. and Mrs. Juan Montier (Carolyn Hammond) They flew up in their private piano from their Texas ranch. She retired from practice ten years ago. The family numbers four now. Johnnio Gilchrist came up from Durham. He told us that William Edmondson (remember FootsieV) was now head of the Department of Urology at a famous North Carolina hospital. Timms and Powoll, wc learned, had a large maternity hospital and well baby clinic in El Paso, Texas. Lucien Lewis, surgeon in chief at Flint Goodrich Hospital in New Orleans, nodded recognition from his table in tho far corner of the room. Paul Guth, Hoad of tho Department of Medicino at King's County in Now York City and consulting Gastroonlerologist for Mt. Sinai and Sydenham, sent a congratulatory telegram to Mason as he was unable to come. On the following day at tho Class of '49's reunion dinner many more familiar faces appoarod. Loslie Winston, Andrew Woods, Clifton Quick were all practising in the Greater Washington area and as staff men at Freedman's. Ralph Boulware, who camo down for the occasion from Delaware, brought us news of John Latham and Bill Hayltng, the most popular physicians in Now Jersey. He also told us that Talmadge Pinckney was driving down from his home in the hills of Pennsylvania (near Pittsburgh). Cecil Ward, assistant professor of Radiology, came in a littlo later with Frank Lester, who had takon over the Department of Biochemistry last yoar. Just prior to the introduction of the Speaker, William Gibson, now chief of Medicine at Freedman’s, I heard a slight stir at the door and a piping voice say, Well, I made it,” and turned to see, no, it couldn't be, but it was, Florinda Cambridge, just up from Nassau, whore she had just been recuperating from her fourth divorce. She didn't look a day older nor was she one iota more self-contained She had been on a jaunt on all the islands in the Caribbean chain. Sho announced that Elena Molano was busy practising in Puerto Rico with her Pedro, and incidentally there was one little Pedro. Luis Tegaaa had also set up a lucrative practice there. She had seen Pearl Romeo when she stopped in Haiti. Pearl was just down for a visit. She had retirod lrom practice. Pearl told her that Janie Williams was engaged in Pediatrics—that is, with her own offspring. Telegrams wore received from the following who were unable to attend: Lelabelle Freeman—in Los Angeles Charles Augustus—in India, still in the army, by the way,- Charles Clark—who now lives off the income from his thoroughbreds Luthor Downer—handling a tromendous practice in Atlanta, Clarence Foria—who was practising in Now Orleans Blair Hunt—who had become a famous Boston surgeon. Just at this point of reading the list of membors who had sent telegrams, tho sequence was rudely interrupted by the very cultured voice of Dr. Drew intoning, Next paper, please. ' With a start, I sat up and looked around, the calendar said 1949, the clock 5.45 P.M., and Amy Mills began her paper on a study of appendectomies done in this hospital since 1941. Still who knows whether the scenes envisionod on this balmy afternoon represented fact or phantasy? Only time can tell. —Anna Smith 142 SCHOOL JloWGA fyHUJ.Z'Uity'I £cltaol o MuAic JlaoJz to the fyutuie THE School of Music of Howard University has played a dislinguished role in lhe development of music in American life since ils first tentative beginnings in 1885. Foundations were laid by Miss Lulu V. Childers with her appointment as the first director of the School in 1906. Under her leadership lhe years were witness to lhe expansion of facilities, lhe increase of personnel, lhe acquisition of equipment and the enrichment of the scope and influence of its work. Today, music at Howard University stands ai an important crossroad in its history. It has the distinction of being first among Negro schools to offer lhe Mus.B. degrco and now, in lhe face of the most giganlic struggle in American history when old ideas and habils are being discarded and history is being re-written every day, it accepts the challenge of being the oniy School of Music in Negro Universities. The School of Music became a member of the National Association of Schools of Music in 1947 and lhe following year, lhe Alpha Delta Chapter of Pi Kappa Lambda, national music honor society, was installed at Howard Universiiy. At present, there are enrolled in lhe school 205 students who are pursuing courses of study which lead to lhe Bachelor of Music degree in one of lhe following major subjects: Music Education, Music History, Orchestral Instruments, Theory, Piano, Voice, Organ and Violin. The objectives of the School of Music are fourfold: to afford adequate opportunity for lhe finest training possible to professional students in the understanding, performance and creation of music,- to contribute to tho studonts' cultural development through opportunity for work in liberal arls subjects,- to undertake an important role in revitalizing crealive activity in our unique field of indigenous music,- and to motivate and stimulate scholarly research in this field. 144 PI KAPPA LAMBDA May 7, 1948—The installation of ALPHA DELTA Chapter of the Society of PI KAPPA LAMBDA, National Honoiary Music Society, the first chapter of its kind on any Negro campus, honorary members are L)r R.

Signed, THE CLASS OF '49 In witness whereof I do set my seal and signature. Miss Eva Long Mr. Clifton Epps Mr. Henry Edmonds 148 GIgAA. Pn.0fdt2.cq,—School c{ MuiAc IT IS now evening, and the cool, quiei dignity of the great Hall of International Musicians is touched only by the memories of the quiet, reserved group moving to the magnificent Inner Banquet Room given over to the most select gatherings. As the people enter the room and see each other distinctly, their demeanor suddenly changes, as ice which breaks in the warm sun. After thirty years, the class of '49, Howard Uni versity, is still unchanged, with its love of life and for each other remaining steadfast. Seated at the great dining table (the place cards give the original names of the people who are gathered here) are: Ollie Brown, the famed concert artist of Concert Hall,- Thomas Collier, three-time winner of the Redding Foundation Award for vocal composition,- and Doris Galiber, one of the great voices of music, who is examining a little pendant which is suspended from her neck. This is a token from the Council of Nations in appreciation of her many benefit performances for the world's underprivileged. Next at this illustrious table is Cynthia Gibson, Grand Chairman of the Music Educators of America. The regal bearing of tho table's next occupant proclaims the presence of the magnificent Gladys Keys, acclaimed not only by audiences, but by critics and conductors in the world's greatest music centers. Seated at the next place is Eva Vance Long, the moving power behind the noted School for Music Educators, Alma Mater to the heads of almost every large school in America. The next card reads, ''John Coppock, and seated here is the Father of Great Orchestras across four countries. At his elbow is the voice that has thrilled millions across the continents, Geneva Moore. The next place is given to the twice-elected president of Music Educators of America, Darleyne Nelson. Here the table curves, and, glancing a little to the right, one sees Henry Edmonds, revered head of the Alliance of Composers. Seated at his right is Marian Redd, the woman who has coordinated the intricate workings of the school for Higher Echelon Training of Department Heads. Tho card at the next place is needless, for no one could mistake the world-famous pianist, Thomas Flagg, sitting in quiet dignity with the humility which has stamped the character of his music. In the next seat is Romaine Simmons, queen among singers, maintaining that personality which has made her outstanding amid great musicians. At her side is Gloria Smith, prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera House. The calm dignity, so characteristic in her fire of virtuosity at the piano, is evident in Mildred Strider, artist of the Strider School for Concert Pianists. The next seal is occupied by Lillian Stroud, Vice-Chairman and Dean of the Music Educators of America. The gently grayed temples of the next personage announce the presence of Relford Patterson, the grand old man of vocal technique, who has given the world many of its best-equipped singers. No such gathering would be complete without the presence of the marvelous Monique Taylor, who combines two careers—lecturer on the techniques of music education, and possessor of the violin of silver tone. Reading the next card, one sees the name, Naomi Martin, which brings memories of great organ recitals to audiences throughout the land. The next guest needs no introduction, for it is Chester Rowlett, violinist extraordinaire, eclipsing even Paganini of the Nineteenth Century. Centuries may pass before such a gathering of musical entities will converge, but their influences will be felt throughout the lands where art and culture are the goals of human aspiration. 149 We, the faculty, uuA.lt. you Sou Voycye. , . .

The get-acquainted party given in our honor soon after our arrival was enjoyed by all. Norma Sabino gave a piano soleclion, Aianna Anderson recited some original poems and Thoresa Brown delivered an impromptu address. There did not seem to be enough time to see everything— hospital, nurses' homo, campus, city, etc. How wo onvied tho upperclassmen in their pretty blue and white uniforms and looked forward to the day when we would wear ours. Then came the studies, the Anatomy end Physiology, History of Nursing, Chemistry, Nursing Arts, and many others. Tho classes wero interesting but often not half so much so as the laughs and jokes afforded by the instructors openly as well as by the notes and exchanged glances. We thought it was impossible to learn all that those books contained, but we managad. November 26, 1946, when our uniforms arrived, what excitement! Some too long, others too short, some too tight, others too loose. Few roally fittod. Tho black shoes and stockings completed our probie uniform and were wo proud of it It was a few days later, Decombor 3, to be exact, when we first wont on the wards. How nervous we were, and each swore that she had forgotten how to make a bed and give a bath. How much fun it was that night to comparo accidents and incidents. The most irr.po'tant night wos March 14—Capping. For six months we had looked forward to this one day, and here it was at last. So much to do I Hairdressers, welcoming families and friends, assembling uniforms, purchasing white shoes and stockings, and nume’ous other things. The sad part of bidding good-bye to our classmates who did not moke it brought tears into the eyes of all of us How proudly we said the Florence Nightingale plodgo This night the remaining elevon, no longer the preclinical of 1946, but the future graduating class of 1949, highly resolved to be, if not the best, one of the best classes to enter and graduate f'om this school. Our new uniforms, no longer black shoes and stockings, but sparkling white plus a cap and bib. Every spare moment of the next few days was spent parading the campus to make sure that everyone saw us in our new outfit. Tho second day after capping began our first eight hour working day. What a change from two hours a day on a ward to eight hours. Oh, the aching feel and backs! When, shortly aftor this, wo elocted officers, tho great small body began truly to function. Our class magistrates, as they wore elected, remained—even until the present. President—Aronna Anderson Vice President—Elaine Delahoussaye Recording Secretary—Florence Cunningham Corresponding Secretary—Theresa Brown Treasurer—Ann Marcus Student Council representatives—Mery Wilcher, Ruby Patterson, and Norma Sabino. Class sponsor. Miss Nettie O. Wiggs. Oh, those class mootings and midnight parties. Food from home certainly came in handy. Vacation time at last, from August 18, 1947, to Soptombor 18, 1947. Each went her own way and returned with many interesting experiences. We returned to find the new probi9 class of thirty-three members already here. Getting acquainted with them was fun, and now wo wore juniors. How good it sounded! Our first Christmas—almost heart breaking. Some worked, some did not, some had late leaves, others did not. Many tears wero shod and many calls were made to homes. At four A.M. Christmas morning we stumbled around the hospital, still half asleep, singing carols to the patients. As the months passed, tho various parties and dances kept us occupied when our studies did not. Our April Fool's dance was a great success. Our Class picnic in Benedict, Md, on July 10, 1948, was a happy and exciting one. Wo thought we would never get there. We coasted down one hill and walked up six, arriving hours later than wo had originally anticipated. Then the fun began—swimming, soft ball, etc. Florence Cunningham and Ruby Patterson decided to go rowing with a broken oar. Three hours later a roscue party of four brought them in, practically exhausted. Everyone was hungry by this lime and beor, potato salad, ham, potato chips, pickles, olives, etc., served their purpose. A dinner given tho class by Miss Common on July 19, 1948, was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We left for vacation on July 23, 1948, and returned August 24, 1948 How nice to return on time to welcome tho probies. Seniors at last, with the presentation of black bands on September 18, 1948. How proudly we wore our bands! It was nice being referred to as a senior. Our next affair was a Pre-Halloween Dance, October 29, 1948, and we worked hard to make it the success that it was. Now wo are on our way out. The blind alleys and dead ends are behind us. With pride and self satisfaction wo breathe a sigh of relief and gratitude. Throughout all, unity has been our password Wo entered togothor, workod together, struggled togothor, laughod togothor, lamented together, and now we shall graduate and leave our Alma Mater. Follow in our footsteps, and forget us not.

The eternal providence has appointed me lo watch over the life and health of Thy creatures. May the love for my art actuate me at all times; may neither avarice nor miserliness, nor thirst for glory, or for a great reputation, engage my mind; for the enemies of truth and philanthropy could easily deceive me and make me forgetful of my lofty aim of doing good to Thy children. May I never see in the patient anything but n fellow creature in pain. Grant me strength, time, and opportunity always to correct what I have acquired, always to extend its domain,- for knowledge is immense and the spirit of man can extend infinitely to enrich itself daily with new requirements. Today he can discover his errors of yesterday, and tomorrow he may obtain a new light on what he thinks himself sure of today. O God, Thou hast appointed me to watch over the life and death of Thy creatures; here am I ready for my vocation and now I turn unto my calling. ☆ ☆ ☆ TO THE CLASS OF 19491 MANY of you b� .gan your pharmaceutical education before and during the past world conflict.

Jltita'uf. — Pharmacy, 194-9 IV RRIVING on lhe campus September 26, 1945, we had lhe full amount of traditional green and then some. If we had known then that our first view of the campus would be one of the few that we would be ablo to enjoy, we would have spent more hours on it than we did. Our being uninformed was indeed unfortunate. The campus, as such, has been a sight that we saw rarely during the freshman year, and in succeeding years we became so unfamiliar with the campus that I imagine we looked like Billikins coming to New York. On our second day at Howard we met Dean C. I. Cooper, a man who was to play an important role in our scholastic lives in the coming years. From Dean Cooper we received our orientation and were informed of what was expected of us as professional men and women. At that lime we could not fully appreciate the scope and influence of his words. This was a condition that time remedied. Although fewer in number as sophomores, we started, once more to carry on. We were determined to make our second year more successful than the first. At the beginning of the year we had our first experience with new instructors. Messrs. Peters and Agee joined lhe staff. At the beginning of our junior year, we welcomed Dr. Roy C. Darlington back. He had received his doctorato from Ohio Stale and was returning with a wealth of knowledge to help us in our struggle. This was lhe year in which we were exposed to Drs. Booker, Tureman, and Maloney in the Pharmacology Department. This was a course of profound significance and one for which we were to cultivate a deep appreciation in our senior year. This year proved to be an important milestone in the life of one of our classmates. Gwendolyn Pettiford married, and is now the proud mother of a future pharmacist. The senior year also held a substantial amount of happiness for some of our classmates. Simuel Garrett and Wilbert Grandy, two of our outstanding students, docidod to lake a voyage on the great sea of matrimony. Quartense Forney, having made a great decision, will follow tradition and be a June bride. Although the senior year offered happiness, it also brought its share of work, study, anxiety, and worry. Just as sunshine follows the rain, graduation follows study and we all feel that the day is just around the corner when we shall reap lhe harvest of the seeds planted during our four-year stay at Howard University. 162 Student Gauncil THE Student Council oi the College of Pharmacy is composed of three elected members from each of the four classes. This council is a recognised governing body for all group organiza tions of the College of Pharmacy. Tho purpose of the Student Council is to establish a relationship among the various organizations of the school, and to serve as a liaison between the student and the faculty. The Student Council also sponsors annual social events. Among theso are the welcoming party for the freshman students and participation in the Howard University Home-coming activities. Among the possible future projects to be token up by the Student Council ore the instituting of an annual banquet for seniors, at which time awards and honors will be presented, and the establishing of the council as a legislative body, which will enable the students to have some voice in the making of the lows that govern them.

Local and national speakers and scholars are enlisted to enrich the thinking of the student body through special lecture series and convocations throughout the school year. Effort is also studiously made to relate the thinking of the students to practical social problems through affiliation with the Religion and Labor Foundation and through Inler-seminary rapport. The officers of the Student Body are elected by the students each school year. Officers for 1948-49 are: George B. Christian, President; Fulton O. Bradley, Vice-President; Ruffin N. Noisette, Secretary,- William J. Stroud, Treasurer, Joseph C. Coles, Chaplain, Charles A. Hunter, Inlerseminary Representative.

THE Christian cause puts a special responsibility upon young men who havo been educated for religious leadership in our world today. Men in religion, as well as all who have studied here in this institution, find themselves thrown into the breach between two worlds—one dead, the other struggling to be born. In order that a new birth of moral freedom may be created in the hearts of peoplo everywhere, you, the members of the Senior Class, must speak the truth, and readily and willingly minister to people and to their spintual and social needs. The world needs you The urgency of the situation should create a sense of deep moral responsibility on your part. The lights are going out, if indood they hove not olroody boon completely extinguished The black-out of decency and truth and brotherhood seems almost universal. But the darkness does not blot out the light of the stars it only makes their light shine brighter. You men are going to preach and minister to a world that is disillusioned. You ore going to preach to a world that believed machines, wealth, and self-sufficiency would usher in the New Order. It now realizes that unless knowledge And material progress are permeated and directed by a deep moral sensitivity, these things become as a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. The proud, sophisticated world of yesterday is moribund. You will preach to a world whose men and women ore seeking earnestly for the torch that will blaze for them a now pathway to failh and freedom. Your task must be lo prepare such congenial soil in the hearts of men as will make possible the proper germination of the seeds of Liberty and Justice. Only by so doing will these seeds burgeon forth and boar fruit fit for Life's tomorrow. As ministers, you are faced with the responsibility of sonsitizing your poopic to n social ideal capable of arresting their imagination with a captivating loyally. The centuries have made shopworn the ideal of the kingdom of heaven, so that few Christians have faith in it as an attainable need. Must you not, therefore, dedicate yourself to the task of helping men to recapture faith in themselves as sons of God, lo the extent that the souls of men will not rost uniil iho kingdom of this world shell have bccomo a kingdom of co-operative fellow-feeling, a kingdom of love and of goodwill? In truth, above all, you will have to face your difficult task in the Christian ministry relying on a faith in God that is as deep as the gianite in the hills and upon a spirit and a life akin to the spirit and the life of the Man of Galilee.

Christian ANDREW RANKIN MEMORIAL CHAPEL RELIGION 170 Scltaal o.jf SOCIAL WORK Social Work as a major field for professional endeavor is still relatively young, having gradually achieved this defined status within tho current century. Increased and expanded community services require more and better trained social workers to administer them. Dr. Caroline F. Ware, Director of Research in the School of Social Work, and Mrs. Gene Smith are shown planning a chart to illustrate some of the significant findings of Mrs. Smith's thesis study. 171 Social Work Is a Profession ... SOCIAL work is a profession whose major concern is wiih people and their human needs. It renders services that provide material security for people in economic distress and emotional security for individuals who have difficulties in adjusting to their economic and social environment. Its concern is both with the welfare of the individual and the community. Social workers are interested in raising the standard of living for the entire community by emphasizing the needs for belter housing, improved health, educational and recreational facilities in the community. Areas of Social Work Social work activities fall within five general categories: case work, group work, community organization, administration, and research. Social workers engaged in case work aim at assisting individuals in developing capacity and opportunity to lead personally satisfying and socially useful lives. Case work forms part of the programs of such agencies as family welfare societies, departments of public assistance, social service departments in hospitals, clinics, and courts. Workers engaged in group work are concerned with constructive use of leisure lime. They help to develop volunteer leaders and work with the groups interested in recreation, informal education, music, drama, arts and crafts. Community organization workers are concerned with the development and coordination of services to meet community needs. They work with individuals, organizations, and agencies, helping them to recognize needs in such areas as health, welfare, recreation, child care and to find ways to provide needed services. Administration includes the wide range of activities that are indispensable to fulfil the purpose for which agencies are set up and to put into practice the objectives of a law. Research in social work is concerned with the study and analysis of social needs and resources and ways for meeting them. Although not peculiar to social work alone, research is essential for the development and improvement of social welfare services. 172 MRS. INABEL B. LINDSAY Dean, School of Social Work MR. IRA L.

First, to tho Class of '50 we leave our numerous field work placements which for 24 hours a wcok have givon us many happy momenta, particularly on days when we were able to go shopping or to soo an oarly show. We leave to you those mornings when we could sleep late or the afternoons when wo loft the agency oarly, protending to visit a client. Betsy Greene and Dorothy Hebron leave to all medical majors an ideal placement at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. To child welfare or group work majors interested in hooking a man Jerry Edwards and Mary Hall leave an exclusive week-end resort ideally located, Kruse School, Delaware. C Henry Smith, hardest working student in the School, leaves to James Jonos the headache of presidency of the student body. Elaine Williams wills her conscientiousness about her work to the entire Class of '50 so that the whole class may submil the first drafts of their theses on registration day, Fall Quarter of 1949. Charlolto Campbell wills a wedding band to all those desiring it to be delivered at the beginning of tho winter quarter. Freedman's medical majors leave one undersized table (for 3 only) and seven tattered uniforms to the lucky ones who will obtain this much-sought-after placement. To the Class of '50 we leave Dr. Ware's Thesis Seminar and our raitlod thesis nerves,- a 1949 Cadillac to add to the dignity which Buster” has never been able to give us� Dr. Magnus' class in Public Welfare I, the New York placements promised by Mrs. Smith ( If you don't miss iho boat ) the spaciousness of Mrs. Simsarian's office Mrs. McKay s revised Child Welfare 111 Class Dr. Prudhomme's surprise exams the glamour of Mrs. McIntosh tho hope of being sold on Mr. Gibbons' group work approach and tho rolurn ol our gracious director, Mrs. Lindsay.

They swamped us with health examinations, campus tours, English placomen! tests, and psychological examinations. To oven tho tempor of things, they forced upon us wienor roasts, a football game, and got-acquainted dances. No one has yet been able to determine why the dances were callod get-acquainted dances because no one got acquainted. The boys suddonly became bald and the girls sproutod callouses and corns from carrying the bags of the upperclasswomen. Classes finally bogan and we met, for tho first timo, the problems of registration and overcrowded classrooms. It was at this point that we discovered how much wo had to loam. Everyone looked upon us with a degree of intellectual scorn. With tho coming of spring our fancios turned to politics and tho election of class officers. After much sirifo, turmoil, and bickering we elected: Edsel Hudson, president, James Moore, secretary, Charles Jones, corresponding secretary) ana Livingstone Johnson, treasurer. To represent our class on tho Student Council we elected Ernestine Hairston and William Malory. At a later class meeting we electod as class officers for the sophomore yean Ross Clark, president, Gertrude Woods, vice president, Minna Ann Williams, secretary, Mary L. Walker, corresponding secretary, and Eddie Toppin, treasur- SOPHOMORE YEAR Wo'ro in—Wo know everything—“Wo saw tho grass turn green. We came back and found that the Veterans had invaded the campus. Dorms wore ovorloadod. Cafotona linos oxtonded infinitely. Registration turned out to be a major battle of the bulge. Advisors wore still gum ming up the works . . . when they could bo found. The class was split wide open by tho r. Clarke subversive activities of the Greek letter organizations. The entire student body wont politics-crazy. Smoll communist organizations atlemptod to gain footholds on tho campus ... all thoy got was foot. We gavo parties that rivaled the hilarious gay nineties. Wo roceived bids to the fraternities and sororities. Probations began in tho foil. Fraternity influence and pressure became obvious and obnoxious. Sara Wright spotlighted tho activitios of tho class and its mombers with the 49'er, whenever it appeared. It bccarno personal and moro personal II It was later abandoned because of money. At this point the University Administration intervened and curtailed the large number of parties by its introduction of the casualty list. It s spring again and with its return our classmates became patriotic” with a new fervor. In Cook Hall a select few assembled for unauthorized elections. Such name calling was never heard in Congress. Funds camo up short. Before by King D. Johnson the dense atmosphore of graft had subsided the following had been elected to office: Albert Byrd, president, Alice Brantley, vice-president, E. Hudson, E. Hairston, Robert Jones, and Roberta Fitzgerald, representatives to the Student Council. This year marked the first selection of a Co-od Cadet Colonel. JUNIOR YEAR For one reason or another this was our most eventful year as college students. Our elections wero indicative of the trend to be taken by the National elections. Wo called names, Truman did, too. Our underdogs won, Truman did, too. The registration problom ro-rears its ugly head. Despite the casualty lists registration lines (if you can call those stampeding, unchecked, swarming masses A. Byrd of human confusion lines ) were as long as ovor and twice as slow. Tho disorder was not peculiar to tho students. Many of us will long remember the registration day the Head of the Philosophy Department was driven to seek escape, on the top of his desk, from tho surging mob aspiring to get into his class in the Principles of Reasoning. The quality of food went down, prices went up, and service disappeared. Result?? A gonoral campus-wido striko. The number of candidates for the casualty list was reduced by the superb, smooth-operating syndicate of “grade changers and test swipers.” Spring again—Elections again. Students were hung, machines jammed, ballots stolen, campaign signs destroyed, exchanged, and tampered with. We split into professional political parties. From this split ovolved tho Progrossivos and the Studiocrats. The Progressives won. The elections were hotly contested bofore and altor tho balloting. Hearings were held and some of the culprits were threatened with expulsion. The elections were later reluctantly accepted by tho University. This year marked the first ROTC graduations sinco tho end of World War II SENIOR YEAR Seniors at last f I Our work is nearly completed and we are now in anticipation of that goal for which we set sail in tho fall of 1945 Our experiences havo been varied, but they havo all been con structive There has been a marked reversal of the intellectual immaturity and inoptifudo so prevalent during our early days here. To lead our noble class we elected y_ Matory Mr. William Matory, president, Miss Roberta Fi!2gorold, vico-prosidont, Misses Norma Whitby and Majol Butler, secretaries, and Mr. Cecil Davis, treasurer. To tho Student Council—Miss Ernestine Hairston, Messrs. V Lightfoot, James Carter, and Simon Cain. Among tho major accomplishments achieved by the Senior Class was tho passing of tho Bison-Plan which created a pay-as-you-go Univorsity-wido project for tho publication of a yearbook. 185 (Continued on Page 389) CLASS PROPHECY by Antoinette B. Johnson A. Johnson STRANGE things happen to us sometimes end mysterious gifts are apt to fall out of ovorywhero into our hands just when we least expect them. So many strange things had happened to me on this particular day in late Septembor that I said I would never again be surprised at anything but when a newspaper dropped into my path, 1 was forced to withdraw an earlier vow I had made. Imagine my joy when I sow the name and date. International Daily Tribune, June 5, 1969, written across the page—in English I I had been directing a series of Chokhovian plays at the Moscow Art Theatre for nearly two years and had become quite tired of speaking Espozanto, therefore it was with happy anticipation that I hastily broko tho sool of the journal and saw w:th delight that Wendell Roye, tho editor of my college newspaper, the Hilltop, was likewise the editor of this paper With the assistance of Ervin Dixon, associate editor, he had compiled, from leading newspapers of the world, all the outstanding achievements of the 1969 graduating class of Howard University. What startling headlines my eyes focused upon I CHINESE CIVIL WARS END—MEDIATOR RECEIVES NOBEL PEACE PRIZE Following the headlines was a long account of how Frank A. Scott hod finally terminated the long-lasting wars of the Chinoso and, as a roward, had received the Nobel Peace Prise Another graduate distinguishing himself in international affairs was Alfred Sharpe, who wos now on a diplomatic mission to Italy, where he would later join Camillo Lee, Katherine Pickett, and Stephanie Spottswood, who were leaching a universal language to the natives of tho country Proudly I read that a few months ago a young doctor in Nebraska had found a cure for cancer. How happy 1 was when I discovered that Edsel Hudson, former president of tho Student Council, had been awarded a scientific key for this accomplishment. On behalf of the National Committee of Cultural and Scientific Research, its new prosidont, William Matory, presented similar awards to Ross Clark, Charles Irving, Gloria Sutton. Saunders Thompson, and Harold Flotch-er, who had collaborated with Dr. Hudson in this research. According to one article, Ernestine Houston, who had become one of the most prominent members of the Supreme Court because of her prolific eloquence, was now paving tho road for such brilliant lawyers as L. Livingstone Johnson, Andrea Sparks, George F. Hill and Eleanor Norwood. When I saw these names, I was indeed amazed, for in our college days these persons had not yet learned to—well, you know. As I quickly searched for the Drama Section, my attention was momentarily diverted by a picturo of Russell Shipman and Samuel Nesbitt, who had very recently denounced this profligate world to join the priesthood and thus rescue mankind from sin and strifo. Floetingly I browsed through the Sports Page and noticed an article lauding the threo most important men in the basketball world, George Jett, Harold Horgis, and Jimmy Win-bon, who roally got thou start on the floor of Howard's gym At last I located the Drama Section and read Maxine Hayden's review of the venerable Owen Dodson's Garden of Time, starring Robert Brown, Yvonne Terrell, and Hilmar Jensen. Near the center of the page appeared a picture of a scene from James W. Butcher's The Seer, which had just recently opened at the Theatre Libro in Gormany, under the direction of Willa Mae Brandon, one of the playwright’s former pupils. At a glance 1 could see that the Society Pago covcrod quite adequately the social functions of the forty-niners. James E. Moore, who, much to my surprise, was still a bachelor, had entertained some former collogians who had attended the Conference of World Dentists. A few of his guests were Walter Ray, Stanley Magnus, and Joe Earle. Phyllis Freeman and hor husband. Bill Harper, had just announced the engagement of their daughter. A former campus belle of ours, Nancy Reynolds, was shown basking on the beach of the Bahamas with her 4th husband, while Minna Ann Williams |. . .) was pictured with one of her children—all of whom are boys! Loisurely I scrutinized every detailed account of the Howard Alumni Mooting which had been held in the twelve-story club house, which some successful businossmen of the class of forty-nine had given the University. Many mombors of this class came from far and near to attend this meeting. Thoro was Chostmc Everett, who had flown over from Paris, accompanied by follow artists, D. Jeanne Coleman, Cecil Goorge, and Conrad Thompson Unfortunately, Albert Byrd was unable to join his co-workers on this trip since he was suffering from a back injury which had resulted from the awkward position he assumed as ho painted the hemispherical ceiling of tho Royal Academy of Art. Norma Whitby, director of on exclusive nursery school in California, experienced a pleasant surprise os she traveled eastward with her co-workers, Janet Butler and Ernestine Lyles. Just as the plane landed at a Chicago depot, she recognized the faces of Gloria Edmonds, now prominent in social work, and Harold Lawson, Robeita Fitzgerald, Horace Holmes, and Lilo Moore as they boarded the plane. She later learned that thoy wero on the staffs of the Department of Psychology at various universities and were now en route to the Alumni Meeting. It was certainly a marvelous reunion for Barbara Gentry, James Lee, Billy Davenport, Mary Louise Walker, ond Mnr-celyn Cobbs, who could, as eminent sociologists, tench E Franklin Frazier a bit about Soctal Disorganization. Finally my eyas fell upon on article written in very fine print, which I later discovered was a University Obituary column. Tears poured down my face so vigorously and violently as I read the names of the deceased that I could no longer continuo my reading of the journal, so I tucked it carefully away with my other momoirs. When I turned my eyes back on the world at large, a feeling of felicity engulfed me, for I realizod that most of our nineteen forty-nine graduates had succeeded in their many endeavors because we had exercised the knowledge we had gained in undergraduate days at Howard University. 186 Jlte. cttiUtofi THE official student publication of the campus community is the Hilltop. The Hilltop has enjoyed an interesting and prosperous career. This pres-tigo and prosperity culmi-noted in the independent and capable editorship of Wendell Roye.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY INSTALLS NEW REGISTRATION PROCEDURE. At the beginning of tho Spring Quarter, 1949, the Administration and Representatives of tho Sonior Class cumc up with a registration procedure that is effective and efficient. Wo all remember tho confusion, duplication, neurosis caused by the old system that was prevalent during most of our days at H.U. We regret that this new system comes into being too late for us to reap its full benofits. As we rotrospcct, wo realize that our tenure here has favored us with some of the best years of our lives! Now that the long-awaited end has arrived, we realize that the parties, wiener roasts, picnics, dances, and balls have played an important part in our social development. We further realize that the football, basketball, track and swimming moots wore all serving to endow us with tho spirit of competition and the desire to be victorious sportsmen. We realize that the continuous debates and political maneuvers served to sharpen our wits and keep us ever on the alert. We realize that the continuous registration, bookstore, and cafeteria lines have prepared us for any future inconveniences we may faco. With all these realizations, wo realize above all, that our Alma Mater has prepared us to face the vicissitudes of life. As we depart, it is with profound and sincere gratitude to our Alma Muter for the role which she has played in our development.
