The 1953 BISON LOOKING TO HOWARD OF THE FU We. flier Class of 1953. offer tliis yearbook as a record of the happy days we have spent at Howard I’niversitv, our beloved Alma Mater. 'I'llis volume, however, is more than a mere record of the past. Chronicling, as it does the carl careers of many who will be tomorrow’s leaders, it is also in a very real sense an earnest ol the future. With this thought in mind, wc have chosen as the theme ol our yearbook: The Howard of the Future.” Published by the Senior Classes W ASHINGTON, D. C CHAKLKS HAMILTON HOUSTON 3n fllcmoriam mid Dedication to Charles Hamilton Houston During the yews you served so well as Dean of the Law School, you instilled into your students an idealism and a sense of devotion which elevated and transformed the legal profession among our group. As a pioneer in the Civil Lights Movement and as the initiator of the strategy used in the legal battles which the movement promoted, you were the outstanding and most effective force against segregation and discrimination in America. In this fight for freedom for your fellow man. you unselfishly sacrificed both monetary gain and personal health on the altar of sendee, hut in this sacrifice y ou added dignity and honor to the profession of your choice. Because of your eminence as Legal Scholar, as Civil Bights Crusader. and .is Humanitarian, we the ( lass of 1953, humbly dedicate this hook to you. The Class of 1953 DR. MORDEGAI WVATT JOHNSON President of the University 1926 • 1953 To all whose names and faces appear in The 1953 BISON Greetings: We have had great times together at Howard—in work, in fellowship and in growing. In the alter years it will give me jo to turn these Bison pages and to Bring Back tin- me mors ol these da s. Meanwhile, I pray that God will bless the life, the work and the loved ones of even one of von. Sincereh yours, Mom e i . Johnson President ADMINISTRATION Dm.

In usurer - 33 - Class History We must remember this . . . They were .ill out to meet us on that memorable September 25. 1949 and Freshman Week was begun with anxious fervor and embarrassment. The hunt was on for Campus Pals, and the traditional Mordecai haircuts could he seen at every turn. And what a surprise it was to make English I . . We made the usual grimaces about registration, blit were able to forget quite easily upon experiencing the beginning of our college career. We grew accustomed to meeting people from all parts of the country and world, and after this first year, thought ourselves completely cosmopolitan. How those Mentors could manage to pop out of the most unexpected places was a source of amazement. Soon both they and Mrs. Grays realized they had a group of curious and adventurous young women on their hands, and we don’t believe that they ever quite understood what was wrong with those ’Crandall girls. We became acquainted with Housscaii. Multhus. Faust. Dante, and the Library of Congress. We attended our first fraternity balls and vicariously watched the Pro’ lints The vast majority remained to see “the grass turn green. before long the summer vacation was upon us and we returned home saturated with knowledge and tolerant of those who were not lucky enough to he attending the Howard University ” Most of us returned a week early as had Sophomores to show the new Freshmen “what was shakiu’. The Sophomore men proved themselves by winning the Soph-Frosh Rush. We started on our majors and everyone was Ircing “faked to the moon . . . We crossed burning sands and entered noble Grcekdom. The Korean War was in full swing . . . Did you ever see so mam R.O.T.C. uniforms? This was the year when formats were in demand and cabarets were a must . . . We can't be Juniors already . . . Now there was no doubt in our minds that we had reached the full blossom of maturity, and speaking ol blossoms, love was in full bloom, for there were many familiar couples holding hands on the campus. Spring had truly “sprung. and the May Queen elections took place with a near riot in the cafeteria. In addition, the contest was on for governing positions in the forthcoming Senior year. “Flip” Persons was elected to head the Student Council, and John Powell was named President of the Senior Class. Dormitory girls were living a life of luxury, for Baldwin and Wheatley ll.dls had Ireen christened and were filled to capacity, after greetings had been sent for all good Howard women away from home to answer to the call of Dean Elliot. The cafeteria became a place ol student congregation, and such appetizing menus. We returned as reigning Seniors that Fall with a sort of sad gladness, ready to face our last year, with a kind ol envy ol the new Freshmen. We met a new continental Florence Cawthomc who had won a trip abroad Mr. Carey, that pioneer of student organization and participation, set up new criteria, and we even had to have our Posters approved. Joan Carter was made lpha Queen, and Joyce Burrows was crowned “Q Queen for a second year . . This was the y ear lor surprise weddings and engagement rings. The national election took place and Ike and Adlai rooters held heated discussions. The campus had a mock election, the result of w hic h was contrary to that of the nation’s. How happy- we were to have no cl.tsscs Inaugural Day. and many of us were either downtown among the crowds or in front ol a television vet watching the parade Pat Adams was chosen Gridiron Queen. The How-ard-Lincoln classic was really a tough fight. Our boys were losing and Coach Jackson was striding hack and forth . . . Finally in the last quarter, we played “catchup’ and surprised everyone by finishing up in a tie. The announcement came from the draft hoard concerning prospective inductees’ averages, and such worry . . . The Delta Jabbrrwock was a delight for all who attended. The great Greek convention took place, and the password of the campus was “on to Cleveland. It was like a Howard reunion. Registration Blues were lessened when the A.K.A.'s gave refreshments and entertainment during Spring registration ... We made it . . . Graduation Day and Commencement • • ■ We were happy, yes. but as we looked at Douglass Hall, the Library, and the silent buildings of “Death Valley we felt a little lonely while reminiscing over all the cultural, educational, and social activities that we had experienced, the close and lasting friendships we had made. But we were filled with one consolation ... Mthougli we might never cross these famous portals again, we know that we will not he forgotten, for we are the CLASS OF M - 34 - WHO'S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UMVEllSITIES AND COLLEGES Howard University is happy to have students listed in tin 1952-1953 edition of Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.’’ These students are campus leaders in both scholastic anti extra-curricular activities and are chosen through a careful 'elective procedure. - 35 - FOUNDERS LIBRARY ST FF FACULTY COMMITTEE ON STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES l.cfl to rinht atouml table l)f.

Those farseeing women who iotinded Delta envisioned an organization which would spread throughout the nation, bringing together college women of like ideals and potentialities for the mutual Irenefits which such fellowship affords. Delta Sigma Theta is proud to have today more than lfK undergraduate chapters whose thousands of mem-Ihts have pledged themselves toward the building of a better workl by meeting the sorority’s requirements in character, scholarship, and citizenship responsibility Alpha Chapter has always sought to add to the life of the Howard community, for its members are loyal Howardites During the past several years Alpha Chapter has fostered the Job Opportunities Program, produced the annual Jabbers ock, and awarded a scholarship to a deserv ing Howard woman. The Chapter has also initiated activities at the National Training School for furls and engaged in several welfare projects, such as giving Christmas baskets to the needy and gifts to young children who are patients in local hospitals. Delta Sigma Theta aspires today as in the past, for something more serious than mere social exclusiveness.

Phillips AE0 - 49 - l l'll Fill ALPHA FRATERNITY, INC. On December 4 1906. the concept of Negro Brotherhood was lor the first time given material expression in the form of Alpha Chapter of Alplm Phi Alpha Fraternity at Cornell University. This fact is significant for it represents a commitment—an assumption on the part of Alpha Phi Alpha of the responsibility of always taking the lead. It is this interpretation of the founding of the first chapter that has made Alpha a brotherhood of leaders. It is this doctrine preached in its 190 chapters into which the organization has grown which is responsible for Alpha men lieing in the vanguard in every field of human endeavor. Beta Chapter was founded at Howard University on December 20. 1907. the second chapter of the fraternity. and the first on a predominately Negro campus. Since that day. Alpha has opened its doors to all men regardless of race, color, or creed, and Beta has adhered religiously to the fundamental precepts of Alpha Phi Alpha by supplying leaders to the campus community and to tin nation. him Of All, Serix nts Of All, Wc Shall Transcciul Air President Vice President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Financial Secretary Trea.snrer Dean of Sphinx men Slit, at Arms Chaplain Editor of Sphinx Historian Theodore Trabue Henry Lucas Chester Franklin Laurence Paxton Joseph Grant Kenneth Bergman Larry Williams Carl F.iland Elmer Greene Carl Briscoe Francis Warren A A - 50 - KAPPA ALPHA PSI KAY The first chapter of Kappn Alpha Psi was organized at Indiana Universit) in 1911.

STUDKNT COli '( II - 67 - Class History Tin- Year 1958 will murk the graduation « f a fractional part ol the large class enrolling in the School of K. 6; A. in 19-18. Thirty-fom states and twelve fore ign countries were represented In the 52(i dubious but hopeful Freshmen who comprised the Engineering and Architecture enrollment. In addition to the discouraging difficulties encountered in E. V courses, the Freshmen had to contend with ill-illuminated ami overcrowded draw ing rooms, insufficient in adequate facilities. A dwindling number of 482 students loss retiring but cautious, enrolled for the Sophomore year which was to become noteworthy in several respects as a landmark of achievement in the history of Howard University E. . School. This year the National ccrcditiug Hoard for Engineering Schools ascribed full accreditation to the Engineering School; an achievement highly cherished as it determines and assures one's acceptance in American industry'. This same year a precedent was set when representatives from General Electric Corporation. Radio Corporation of America, and General Cable Corpora-tion sifted through the Seniors for possible placement, and selected seven men for positions. This praiseworthy piocedure has been repeated subsequently by the companies since then with additional placements that inject an incentive for the students to maintain a high average. This Sophomore school year also put tin- Architecture School on a Five Year basis, established the student chapter of the National Technical Association, and saw the establishment of a student chapter of tin- American Institute of Electrical Engineers. In addition. February 1950 marked tin accreditation of the School of Architecture by the National Architectural Accrediting Hoard, a recognition as highly regarded as it was zealously sought This accreditation placed it alongside tin- 7 other accredited architectural schools ol tin- United States. In the same month of February 1950. Howard University was host to the Ml University Career Conference which resulted in the placement of five Juniors in Mechanical Engineering by the Foundry Educational Foundation Association in summer positions with first class foundry firms of the Uni tell States. Following suit in the selection of meritorious students was the AVestinghonse Corporation which also gave enthusiasm to the striving and suffering K. : A. student. This same Sophomore class highlighted the campus sports activity achievements, participating in C.I.A.A. championships in boving. varsity basketball, football, swimming, baseball, track and a formal dinner banquet celebration in Crandall Hall. The lunior year registration exhibited a lessening ol E. A. students which by this time was regarded by the somewhat tired student as natural and inevitable. In this same year George Washington University was the site of the A l.E.E.s District Conference; and the E. A. Ball, picnic, and smoker formed the background for the dev elopment of the professional attitude ol the students during this year. The Senior year which commenced September ( . 1952 will never be forgotten basically because of the lieui blood and sweat, tears and joys endured during the previous four years spent in the old E. A A. edifice. Ihit this yeai most likely will In- remembered foi the completion ami utilization of our new $2,120,000 E. Cv A. Imilding which has aflorded Howard's E. 6; A. students the deeply needed facilities, not to mention the Ix-auly and grace of this edifice. Now as we approach the conclusion of the Senior year and the threshold of our subsequent branching out into our fields of endeavor, it is not part of this history to predict what fruits will l� c home by this class of 53. Act may we say we will treat the future as fervently as we have dealt with the past here in our Alma Mater. Howard University, and make evident the truth that every end is hut a beginning. -68- AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS - 69 - MKWCAN INSTITUTE OK ARC IIITKC TS NATIONAL TECHNICAL ASSOCIATION M E( 11 AN ICAL ENC.IN EI:RS S X'IKTV - 70 - KN'CINKKRIKC AND ARCHITECTURE HONOR SOCIETY THE SMPSTICK STAFF IM MU EPSILON 1.

Nevertheless. I remember that the class was green enough. Wc were u proud group of students. Our only worry was concerning the type of welcome we would receive from tin students. That worry soon left because the faculty and upperclassmen entertained us at a party in tin lounge of Truth flail. Alter that, wc felt very much a part of Howard and our first fright came from the thought of knowing we had to perform before the Dean and faculty in order that they might see what the folks back home were raving about. As the year rolled on. we adjusted ourselves to the life in Music School Car-Training. Voice. History. Piano and other requirements soon became a part of each one ol us. ''Time Marches On . . . the summer of '50 {Kissed quickly and Indore the 49 Freshmen knew it. they were returning to school, rested, full of zeal and energy, greeting classmates, welcoming the “green’ Freshmen, and ready to get down to work as Sophomores. All of the students seemed to have been full of enthusiasm at the opening of school. Class meetings were held and plans for projects were made. Tin Sophomore Class collected money lor the purchase of records to be presented to the History Department. The culminating project for the year was a program of Original Compositions written by the students ol Professor Mark Fax. These compositions were placed m competition with those of students attending American University. Two students from Howard. J odor a Macintosh and Vernon Kdwards were top prize winning competitors. Before we realized what was happening, we wen-hack on the 'Hill registered as Juniors. The school year of 51 was one of many exciting events. In the fall ol '51. a chapter of Music F.ducators National Conference wns registered at Howard. This gave the school a good representative body at the National Convention which was held in Philadelphia in the spring ol '52. The University Choir sang at one of the concerts and received much acclaim for their performance of such songs as Yonder. Yonder. “Pn‘ Lil' Jesus Boy, and other well chosen selections. The Choir made another excellent representation that same year in a concert at Constitution Hall with the National Symphony Orchestra directed by Howard Mitchell. Their presentation of Villa LoImi's “Chorus No. 10 was one that a listener could hardly forget. In fact, the whole concert was so well done that an invitation was extended for a return engagement the following year. On May 19. 1953. Zeta Iota Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity of America was registered at Howard University. Fraternal brotherhood spread well among the Junior men, Iwcatiso they constituted a large part of the Charter members Hail Sinfonians! Being a generous group, the Juniors gave a benefit recital for the Baptist Training Union of one of the local churches. In return, they were presented in a recital which netted them a good profit for building their treasury. Summer School enrolled quite a few members of the class. The session was pleasantly spent, but it really seemed as if school lasted twelve months. Irecause there were only six weeks breaking the summer and fall semesters. The Seniors with their energetic officers had planned a Jazz Concert and Dance in order to secure money for the scholarship fund which was establishes! by the Senior class ol 51. The next edition of the “Who’s WIk in American Colleges and Universities will Ik graced by the names of five Seniors: David McAdams. Bcttye Howard. Constance Lovell. Elaine Taylor, and Sylvia Thrasher. The Class of '53, numbering forty-five, is one of the largest graduating classes from Howard University School of Music. But dear Memory, we have had a happy time fighting Chadwick and Wedge, knocking out Bach. Beethoven. Chopin, Mozart, and learning how to lk at time correctly . . . Yours.

Treasnn r - 93 - Class History September, 1949—This was our introduction to medicine- We appeared 7fi strong with mixed emotions, cock' sell-assured . . the cream of the crop, others just a little frightened, few dreaming of what la before us This was orinentat ion week we registered lor a lull Freshman schedule. met our new “profs, formed initial impressions. We iM-umcd as we shook hands with the Dean and faculty at the reception later given in our honor. Monday morning we arrived to partake of knowledge eagerly and willingly. Then a sudden impact— physical chemistry-we wiped our sweating brows, staggered downstairs and prepared to meet the embryo. l)r. McKinney and reys textbook (both noted lor their appreciation ol fine print), l ater. I)i Young acquainted us with tlu need lor looking down that scope. Monday afternoon we found ourselves in gross anatomy and learned that with medicine went art hone and muscle art. We mastered the canons proportions' and the master keys' mastered some of ns. Still later, we were introduced to the cadaver, dissection and the necessity lor diligent work. Little did we envision what was to become of vivid structures and how difficult it would be to recognize them when they were tagged for practical purposes Some of iis went into our first finals with clear ryes ami clear consciences, others blurry eyed, weak with coffee nerves ami resolutions . . . “never again. We vowed to turn over a new leal and start oil right. Wo ditl. lor in bacteriology class S:(X . M was just that. We learned that our knowledge of microscopes was meager, for. even aftei elaborate preparation of slides, organisms weren't always obliging. We remember guinea pigs and rabbits, the odor ol gas gangrene and the futility of acid-fast stains when there just weren't any bacilli in the sputum (or was it that they eluded us?). Still later we luvuinc experts on unknowns in biochemistry and bacteriology and often they were really unknowns. Winter passed, spring came, the grass grew green and somewhere in the distance a voice repeated . . . The race is not to the swift but to he who emhireth till the end. In the bill of 1950. we were noticeably different, a fgw of our mnnhcis were missing ami we missed them. Sylvester Davis was to follow Stanley Stain as President ol our class. We Irold the most envied position in the school. We were so wise. we talked « l our pro fessors as though they ere most intimate friends. We bad passed through the gates of triumph and starlet! in on a planned campaign of horror for the incoming Freshmen. Mter they were sufficiently frightened, we reluctantly consented to give them our hag l tricks. We found Dr. Jason and pathology with its slides ami gross specimen, pharmacology, and that elusive art of prescription writing a challenge. Ami who can forgot physiology lab—the day you ere surgeon, physiological optics, and the first time you saw vessels using the ophthalmoscope. Physical Diagnosis was upon us by May. We learned I tow to time murmurs, that signs and symptoms differed and we became “e |x rts in drawing EKC findings . . we were ready to go across tIk street. The smoker was chiefly our responsibility', it went off well despite what seemed like panic and confusion in the ranks. Our male chorus under the direction of Sylvester Davis was to bring us new laurels. Irving Farbcr remained out Treasurer trying, sometimes ui vain, to collect dues that were due October. 1951. and we were Juniors. James Newby bad Ix-cii elected President and was to continue in that capacity during our Senior year. ( Three cheers loi his patience.) We arrived, black hags in hand, ready to remedy all the ills’ at Freedmcn's. We were soon to hear ourselves called short coat doctors and gasp in alarm as one patient warm'll another ol our lowly status. We devoted time to patients and I Minks too (cspi'cinlly urology). This year the Med-Dent dance mils fabulous, with the music of Sy Oliver, and it holds pleasant memories for many of us. We began to settle down marriages and families increased, cars began to seriously compete with those of our ‘ prols ’ lor parking. Seniors—Whut a glorious sounding word. Looking forward w� envisioned pediatrics at Gallingcr. lectures in F..VT and ophthalmology comprehensives in medicine, pictures lor the Bison. We considered class rings a gift lor the school, the matching plan. We began to look back, time hail passed swiftly. It had been a long one. ibis road that we bad traveled together. We had laughed and at times it was difficult to keep hack the tears, to hide our disappointments Imt we had made it and as we recall days spent here let ns recall with pleasant memories our achievements hut let us not forget shortcomings and the things left undone. Let us express our thanks and appreciation to those who have worked with us and given so unselfishly of their time and knowledge in order that we might succeed. It is for us now to go forth and serve. bet tic Hines - 94 - CHI DELTA Ml PRATEKNm SECRETARIAL XND LABORATORY STAFF - 95 - JUNIOR CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS - 96 - ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL WOMEN’ F KESH MAN-CLASS CI.EF.

On September 2S. 1949. fifty-two of us shyly gained the acquaintance of each other as we stood in flu line to meet Dean Dixon. That day was memorable in that each, somehow, impressed the other. The different age groups, the different schools attended, nationalities. degrees and appearances were indeed striking Stanley Magnus gained the class Presidency on his single campaign speech in the Medical School auditorium our first day. He ran unopposed lor three years and in our fourth year he and his cabinet were draftee! into olficc. The first year brought many disappointments and also many pleasures. It is quite comforting now to view our achievements, our similar purposes and our like memories. It was the great violinist and anthropologist. Dr. W. Montague Cobh who planted the doctor feeling within us and taught us to dunce to the “Cadaver Walt ' . . . Dr. Moore; the promptness . . . Drs. Newman. Friedburg and Marshall; the desire lor greater wisdom and stronger minds . . Dr. Walton, the ability to relax and he peaceful” . . Drs. Park and Mcl.inn, to carve the Maxillary first molar, not forgetting to include tile cusp of Carabelli. As Sophomores, many proud surgeons were unable to finish their o|X rations because tlx ncsthetist allowed the dog to enter the fourth and final stage of anesthesia. In the spring, we had survived Physi- ology. five Pathology practical and emerged from the Medical School seasoned veterans, entering crown and bridge with the fine Italian touch, hut. according to Dr. Fitzgerald, with no conception of what we were doing. Our Junior y ear marked the beginning of our clinical training and the hard fight for “points.” the borrowed instruments and die short coats. Dr. I lenrvs' construction of the new and ultra modem dental building, and practical examinations. The American Dental Association met in Washington at the National Guard rmory and we were proud of our mcmlicrship. plus the opportunity to rub shoulders with the authors and authorities of our field. We met Dr. Henry that year and not oik of us will forget him nor his confidence, his association with the masters. his telephone programs, his gingiveetomies and his ability to sound off in front of the patient. As Juniors, wc enjoyed the opportunity of sponsoring the finest Med-Dont-Pharinacy dance of our history at the Uline Arena. Sy Oliver’s hand furnished the music. This, plus the setting, decorations and pretty ladies made the annual affair nothing short of coliossa). It was also during our grand Junior year that the University - wide Student Council was organized. Russell Du|X ron represented us during our Senior year as its President. As Seniors, wc are one of the final classes from the old school. It has served us well as have many members of its faculty and staff. As graduates, it is our sincere pledge that we will he found in the vanguard of all movement seeking to improve the welfare of mankind everywhere.

Actually, it was only twenty months ago that r met in Boom 202 in the Dental School. We were on the threshold ol various new experiences. The class was small, hut represented several states. Mthoiigli cair backgrounds were different we were soon uiolded into a group with a single purpose. First, there was the problem of registration, second, the problem nf adjusting ourselves to a schedule of classes Irom dawn to sunset—really eight In four, and third, the problems of learning a new terminology, pronunciation. and spelling. The first week was a difficult time for ns. We went to class with new notebooks, freshly sharpened pencils, and questions. By the second week, we were somewhat acclimated to the schedule, instructors, and courses. Our trials ami tribulations were just In-ginning. Obstacles confronted us on all sides: Chemistry. Anatoms. Physiology. Pharmacology, and other dtomies and ologics. in the first place, we regretted that we were not stenographers. knowledge of Shorthand would have been useful. Finally, we developed our own—and writer's cramp. By this time • were wearing our laboratory coats which made us feel quite professional. Then, upon our first acceptable carving of the upper right central incisor for Oral Anatom) we felt as though we really “belonged. Before the Christinas holidays, the Chemistry hurdle was sealed and everyone had passed! Christmas, that year, was reallx a time for rejoicing! All examinations had been passed! Ivxamination time was always an ordeal and with the approach of the fatal time, there was always much collaboration accompanied with lack ol sleep. Sometimes it was hours before we revived—then we continued in om confused, hut well meaning manner. ftei the Christinas holidays, a thrill was in store loi us. foi on om return, the long awaited white uni- forms were issued. In our white apparel, we marched into the Dental Clinic to assist the junior and Senior Dental students m their various operations. We were also given the privilege of helping or hindering the students in Oral Surgery. Diagnosis, and X-Ray. Tin subsequent challenges were Cross Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology. Our adventures in An atoms brought us face to face with death—the cadaver labs. The existence of muscles, and bones was a sourct of continual amazement to us. We were already familiar with nerves! As the summer vacation approached, we were again confronted with exams, bulletin boards were anxiously scanned daily. Finally, the good news was posted and the Freshmen Irecame Seniors. It had not been all work and no fun. The dances, socials, and picnics were a pleasant relief from our Ixioks. fter the summer vacation, adjustments had to he made again. It was. however, much easier this time. Introductions were made to our mannekins and the work for w hich we were preparing was started. Before long, another great day had arrived. We received our clips! living them on was .m eventful moment. After putting on our complete uniforms, we entered the Dental Clinic equipped with black instrument kits. Bracket tables were set up. instruments were sterilized, our first “live patients, brave classmates, were seated, and our careers in Oral Prophylaxis were launched. The end of the day saw a group of exhausted, hut still smiling hygienists, leave the clinic. After twentv months together, we still have many fears and trepidations. Although the comprehensive® and final exams are over the state board exams loom up before us. Hoxv can we help hut wonder what the future holds? Our instructors have procured us well to take our responsibilities in the field of Dental Hygiene. Let US. then, he up and doing With a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursuing.

AMERICAN- PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION - 119 - Class History The material compiled herein has been gathered through the past four years . . . four years that seemed to drag by endlessly, and though the events seemed, at first, so meaningless to us, wc now realize the full value of all the labor that was laid upon our shoulders. And now the years have passed, we are conscious of the fact that it was but a short time ago when the first of the events l egan and we l ecame full-fledged members of the Howard University College of Pharmacy. The full of ‘49 found us gathered together for the first time as a class. We listened attentively to Dean Cooper and the faculty as they emphasized the importance? of the pharmaceutical courses which were to follow. This first year was. in reality, a year of orientation. We organized the class and set ourselves to the task before us. VVe became familiar with the terminology of our chosen profession. 'Phis included the difference between a grain and a grain, the avoirdupois, apothecaries. anti metric system: it was here that we learned that all tlrops are not equal. In the fall of .50. we returned to school and after looking at the schedule, we realized at once that this year was to be the year of disaster or of triumph. Although we had become accustomed to 8 o'clock classes, it was only with difficulty that we adapted ourselves to getting out of school at 5:30. This was the year that we were introduced to Galenical Pharmacy and Organic Chemistry at the same time, and if such a thing as mental incompatibility exists, here one existed. It wasn't long before xve began to realize that wc knew only an infinitesimal part of Pharmac) and that the gap between theoretical and practical Pharmacy was wide indeed. Someone whipped oil. water, and acacia, wondering why there was no crackling sound. Others rolled suppositories in their hand and wondered why they were so soft and sticky. But it was with these errors and the aid of our instructors that gradually reduced tin- margin that lay between theoretical and practical Pharmacy Spring found us getting ready for the school picnic, which was a welcomed substitute for a day in school both to the student and faculty. Although the picnic was a success, wc suffered for a week. With the close of the academic year, it was apparent that the greatest milestone was behind us and we looked forward to the second half of this important handicap race. We returned October 5. 1951. and entered the Junior year with a renewed vigor and determination. As once we began to piece together the subject material which heretofore had seemed so unrelated. Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Pharmacognosy and Bacteriology took on a more interesting aspect and we supplemented our scientific training with courses in Philosophy and Economics. During this year many of us found time to join in activities offered by the university such as basketball games, dances, and religious services. We began to feel that, at last, we were a part of Howard University. We climaxed the year of .52 with the yearly Medical. Dentistry, and Pharmacy Dance. which was given in honor of the Seniors of these three schools. September 17. 52. found us back in school with our ego higher than it had been within the past three years, for we were Seniors. By September 20. 1952. our ego was at a minimum. This rapid decline was due to the following: an assignment of Lilly’s Products, which appeared endless, a twenty-page reading in Remington and other detailed assignments. Comprehensive examinations came and wc knew that with our baggy and red eyes, we were sad looking specimen. We kept our Ixxrks open until xve saw the white of the examination paper and then reluctantly we closed the books, and many words of prayer were uttered. Waiting on the grades, we died a thousand deaths. Then came the answer that wc passed, followed by rejoicing that could not | o$sib]y be excelled. Later, we sat down and took stock of ourselves and found that we were filled with remorse and sadness. Departure would soon follow and friends, not merely classmates, would Ire taken away . . . But as we walked away we knew in our hearts that each of us would he hack, in spirit and mind, if not in body. So with the courage and training implanted in us within the past four years, we go forth to face the civilization where we can and will make a worthy contribution to uphold the name of the College of Pharmac y of Howard University. With the help of God and tin principles instilled in us, it will lx so . . . - 120 - JUNIOR CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS - 121 - I. Cl.iv. cutters. 2 l).mM-mrn and women it work! J.

I doubt that any member of the class of 1953 remembers the first day of school for the days that followed obliterated any memory of registration, meeting new friends and renewing old acquaintances. Mr. George Hayes and Mr. Herbert Reid were deputized to coaeh us on the techniques of law study. Despite their efforts to show us a spectre of the hard work projected before us. we failed to appreciate what was to came. No one could |M ssil ly forget the memorable and dramatic first meeting with Mr. James Washington, lie began with a relentless attack on his first victim; his questions were hallliug. his pais inexorable . Never before had anyone experienced such dogued examination of students, such professional tyranny, such pon-derous assignments. But as the days gathered into weeks, we learned that no master could have a keener interest in his charges, no sage to stimulate thi thinking processes more than this scholarly fellow from Washington. I). C. To us Civil Procedure was like a symphony; intricate lieyond comprehension. Imt delightful to tin ear. Drury V. Merrill might have escaped us hut we found ample compensation in the compelling charm of Mr. Hayes’ rhetoric. There were, of course, elections. Mr. George Jack-son was elected President; Mr. Nural Ward. Vice President, Miss Carolyn Clarke, Secretary; ami Miss Serena Davis. Treasurer. Mr. Stanley Paige and Mr. Jesse Everett were class representatives on the Court of Peers. The minor skirmish was over and the major encounter now faced us. Evidence, Heal Property and Future Interest. Hills and Notes. Constitutional Law. C orjxira-tions. Partnerships—what a schedule! Were we to name the year according to impressions, this one would go down in history as The Year ()l Quick.’ Hypothetical came from everywhere—Wigmorc, Thayer. Morgan. McQuire. Byrne. Model Code of Evidence. Rules, exceptions, and exceptions to the exception shocked us from normalcy. Rivaled by Mr. James Washington who caused the entire class to spend many sleepless nights trying to understand the “mile Against Perpitu-ities. The Shelley Doctrine’’ the vote as to who caused the greater amount of nightmares was evenly split. (Someone said it was true when one student asked another student about the Rule gainst Perpetuities anti the other student answered by saying, 'that is one of the exceptions to the hearsay rule. ) Listening to Mr. Jenkins lecture in Corjxirations was a pleasure. Sophisticated ami erudite he would always remind us of the weighty consideration t« In given to the operative facts of a ease Relentless and Persistent in his desire to destroy our colloquialism and develop precision in self-expression, his challenge to the student aroused our wrath. No one could possibly forget the immaculate Mi, Daniels, whose desire to aid students in legal research w as as exact as his dress. After developing some techniques in research, we realized its value as basic and necessary. The dynamic Mr. Janus Nabrit will never lx forgotten. His excursions into constitutional law were amazing. His keen knowledge hi the subject and his ability to predict the outcome of litigation were amazing. t the helm of the class for the second year were Mr. George Jackson, President; Mr. Gharh s Carter, Vice President; Mrs Carolyn Clarke. Secretary; Miss Serena Davis. Treasurer. Miss Vllie Latimer and Mr. Fred Mcl-cod were class representatives to the Court of Peers. Certainly no one could possibly forget the fun of the pre-Christinas party during tins year. Two things never to lx forgotten are: I. the experience in defending cases; ami 2. that the faculty membeis were humans ami for the students oik hundred percent. The spring of 53 saw one of the liveliest elections lor flu |x sition of Chief Justice m the history of the law school. It was a five-way race with Miss Allie Latimer. Mr. Ernest Jackson. Mr. George Jackson. Mr. Clarence Newsome and Mr. Charles Carter carrying banners for their res|X ctive parties. Mr. Charles Carter won. The warriors shook hands and the atmosphere ill the law sehixil returned to normal. The last year was not without its tense moments The thundering voice of Dean Johnson still rings in our ears. I defy you to toll me the holding in the Kirby Lumber Company Case I still writhe with pain when one of my ix t theories oil tlu suspension of title in conditional sales contracts was pulverized under Mr. Line' cross examination. No oik to this day understands Renvoi in Conflict of Laws. Raffled, slmcked. frightened about characterization.- no two students agreed on any point The entire class however concurred that Mr. Reid had the master key” that almost spoiled defeat. (.‘lass activities wen administered by Mr. George Jackson. President. Mr Nural Ward. Nice President; Miss Mho Latimer. Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Serena Davis ami Mr. Ernest Jackson were class representatives on the Court of Peers. We leave in our wake two Greek Letter Organizations.

In the summer « l 1030 we were happy to learn that we had been accepted as students in the School oi Religion at Howard University. From various parts of the country we came, bringing buoyant hopes and open minds. We felt that the quest would be hard, but we knew that we were responding to a compelling urgency to devote our lives to the building of the Kingdom of (aid. From the beginning we were favorably impressed bv our new' academic environment. At the orientation meeting we were introduced to our professors, and then were given the opportunity to introduce ourselves. At the end of the meeting we had the chance to exchange greetings with our future classmates as we ate tasty sandwiches and sipped delicious fruit drinks. The next weeks were filled with study and with attempts to adjust ourselves as graduate students. It was true that we came with open minds; this was fortunate. I ccause we had to slough off main ideas which were outmoded and useless in order that we might grasp the deeper and more dynamic insights into the nature and meaning of religion and its place in our life today. These periods of study and religious growth were complemented by those times when we exchanged ideas w ith each other over steaming cups of coffee, or when we stood around the piano to participate in group singing. Frequently we would go to the park lor a picnic, ostensibly to give ourselves wholly to eating, hiking, and playing baseball. However one can Ik sure that before the outing was over, someone had conversed with someone else alxMit the Creed of Nicnea, about the Arran Controversy, or alrout some other new ami fascinating bit of knowledge recently acquired. Thus the first year ended us it had Ix-guit—in study and in mental grow th. We caught our trains and buses for our wide-spread destinations feeling that we could pursue the next year’s work without the frustrations which attended the first studies for this most demanding profession. Our year as Middlcrs found us pursuing various activities according to our varied interests. Some of us assumed leadership in the religious dubs on the campus, while others of us were engaged in the work of the organizations on a university-wide level. One thing which all of us had in common was our work in the local churches of our resp� � etive denominations. Sunday morning usually found us teaching a Sunday school class or glancing over the outline of our sermon to be delivered at eleven o’clock service. Two or three ol ns were fortunate enough to become assistant pastors. The year saw many of us well on the way to our ordination. Two of the important annual events on the School agenda arc the Spring Lecture Series and the Convocation. We had Dr. Bertha Paulsen, outstanding German theologian, as our guest at the Series. She followed Dr. Paul Tillich, eminent German theologian, who had been our speaker the year before Our leader during the Convocation was Dr. Walter G Mucldcr. the Dean of the School of Theology. Boston University Our studies during the Middler year were heavy, with incessant reading and the writing of papers occupying much of our time. However they did not prevent our participation in extra-curricular activities. During the latter part of the year we presented a play. One Foot in Heaven. This play depicted the pressing problems (and their eventual solution) of a smalltow n minister and his family; the play was well received, and the thespians enjoyed themselves equally as well. Our basketball team was active, giving an excellent account of itsell in competition with other schools within the University . It was not long before spring came, bringing with it the joyous chirping of the birds, the profusion ol color in the llowers—and the anxiety ol final examinations. After taking the finals we again packed our trunks and went to our various summer jobs. Some worked as chaplains to migrant workers, with .supervision coming from the Home Missions Division of the National Council of Churches. Some oi us went to summer school, while others sought new jobs when the expected employment “took wings .it the start of the steel strike just before the dismissal of school in lime. Our Senior year shall be remembered lor years to conic. It seemed that everything—like a long-pampered jig-saw puzzle suddenly began to lit together. The hard studying during the first two years was at last yielding abundantly. Noteworthy was the annual retreat held at Davis House. Mr. Gilbert Kilpuck led our meditation on that occasion. Many oi us were learning, through actual experience, the true meaning and significance of meditation. We know what it can accomplish l ccause we have seen the results in ourselves. The annual Convocation opened up new areas in our thinking. The theme was: The Christian Church—a Fellowship Without Barriers. We realized that tin- integrated church presents the only situation hi which we can truly feel that we are all children ol one Father. There were many brilliant leaders, sharing their experiences and hopes for the future. Among them were President Johnson. Dean Nelson. Dr. A. Powell Davies. Dr. Howard Thurman, and Dr. James Robinson. Here, in an atmosphere ol vary ing denominations, religions, and races, we have learned, lived, and studied together. This has developed in us an appreciation for the other person’s religious point « t view . Thus, we fee! that we are better equipped to work with those people with whom we shall come in contact m our various fields of endeavor We leave behind ns many pleasant memories. s we depart from the School of Religion. we shall take with us the deep insights, the sense of commitment, and the inspirations garnered from days filled with study, and shall use these in our efforts to assuage the ills of mankind in this perplexed world.

Upon arrival at Howard University, we found persons from many countries present, all seeking one goal. Unity seemed automatic since om purpose was one; we were striving to obtain a degree. Master of Social Work. In October 1951, a student reception was held at the Kelly Miller House to introduce these neophytes to each other, the faculty members, and to the expanding Social Work profession. During the first quarter, the first year students in Social Work were entertained by the second year class, who sponsored a get acquainted party. A feeling of unity and comradeship developed in discussions alxmt Freud, Breckinbridge, Cordon Hamilton. Grace Coyle and Flander Dunbar. At 6-6 meetings during the year the students were able to tell of problems that were of great concern to them and to work with the faculty in seeking a solution. Coing into a professional agency, meeting new people, and developing Social Work techniques proved to be a security-shaking challenge, but through oxperi-cuce and with the help of our advisers wc developed our ego and plunged into our work. It was during this time that wc learned to drink our coffee black and endure adverse weather conditions. Squeezed lx tween field work and classes came the election of our present student officers. I alter came tlu field trip to St. Elizabeth's, where wc observed psychotic behavior and many a time in reflection we wondered—who really belonged there. A picnic was given for the faculty and part-time students, and at the close of tire first year a picnic was held on Dr. Ware’s farm for all students. By the end of the first year we had learned to pull up the roots and look at ourselves without the rose colored glasses. As the second year appeared on the horizon we liegan to realize the more you study the less you know and our inadequacies as potential practitioners of the art of Social Work were highlighted. With eager humility wc welcomed the opportunity to return to the school. Even our eagerness could not make ns immune to the effect of too mam people in too small a place. The frame school house was simply bulging at the seams. “Oh I’m sorry. “excuse me please. were the words of the day The steps strained as the many feet trudged up and down; they yelled for retirement when someone with flying loci descended to the narrow hall helms'. The transition from the ecru frame school house to the ml brick building inspired us to conquer a Master of Social Work. We express sincere appreciation to our own Dean. Inabcl B Lindsay, who worked so faithfully to secure a new building. Here, we grouped to gather information for the orientation of the first year students. Time was allotted in our second year for coffee and cookie hour. Between the hours of four and six. time was allotted for committee meetings. When anyone was seen running back and forth with coffee and cookies we knew he was attending a meeting. We will always remember tin enjoyable party held at Margaret Danley’s home for the students and faculty of the school. At our penny an inch (height! Barn Dance, which was given for the lx-nefit of furnishing our lounge, fun was had by all. Since the dance, the Housing Committee has added more furnishings to the lounge where the school was able to have a Christinas party. There was a party held at the end of the first semester for the students and faculty of the School of Social Work. The party was held on Friday evening. February 6. 1953. at the home of Aleatha Griffin. The party gave us an opportunity to relax after having completed examinations and registration for the second semester, at the same time, letting off steam for not having received grades for the first semester There was a variety of entertainment going on in different rooms— such as dancing, card games band session, and discussion of grades. The second year students got an opportunity to “let their hair down for about the last time before going into hard work for completion of theii theses. New students entering the second semestei were able to socialize with their fellow classmates. In spite of many hours of tedious study and travels, we learned to love our profession, faculty, and fellow classmates. W«- will strive to uphold the professional standards of the field of Social Work and attempt to follow the principles that will enable us to develop ourselx e professionally. sot I Al.
