Students have come to its campus from many parts of the world. They have become active participants in the various activities of the campus. Many of our faculty members have been sent abroad by the government, to help foster the international feeling.

I hough many bail decided upon engineering as a ear« er they were not certain ot the area of specialization. With the aid of our advisors we selected our fields. Some of ns chose mechanical engineering, some electrical engineering, and still others went into civil engineering. The architects, of course, had made their decision already. We were delighted with the new Engineering and Architecture building, though it took us some time to begin to understand the purpose of many of the strange machim s which we saw. s the year passed we began to make order out of much of the confusion which had greeted us We had listened with green-eyed envy to the tales of the Casino Nights ' held even Fridas evening tile previous year in the old E 6c A building. As om first year came to an end we were astounded as we counted up the many hours we had put into study. Some of us began to wonder if it was worth the effort. When September rolled around those of us who had survived were back again. Wc were amazed as we viewed the strange new equipment w hich had been set up during our vacation absence. During this year wc were introduced to several new instructors. Wc began to join our respective professional societies ami continued what will for years to come he known as times of sweat and blood The goal before ns was that magical degree and the l� ope of a place in our profession. Our primary interest during our third and fourth years came to be the outlook for job opportunities, since manv of the leading business concerns of the nation and also governmental agencies were sending interviewers to confer with pros|X ctivc June graduates. We began to see that from the financial point of view our choice of architecture or of engineering might pay handsome dividends. Our fourth year saw the last of the professional societies, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, came to the campus. During tin’s same year Tail Beta Pi. the oldest Engineering Honor Society in the United States, set up a chapter at Howard University. Wc were rather proud when Arthur Moore, a member of our class, lx-came an instructor in engineering drawing. Many members of the faculty will long be remembered by us— Cold Boiled. Dad, Doc.” Tan C, “The Colonel. Junior,” Willie Pep, Steve. Big Jack, Big Crinny,” and Prof.” We can never forget the calculus and differential conations course's, and the hours we spent in the chemistry lab. Many courses such as Structures. Thermo Dynamics. Fluids II. Vibrations, and Electronics became a challenge th.it kept us busy and awake many sleepless nights. The E A smokers, the picnics, and the Dances of the Mobiles, went a long way toward easing the tension in a very rough curriculum. Quite a few of us found time to join the Creek-letter fraternities and to participate in other general campus activities. Probably t«xi many of us were pressing and holding down part-time jobs. However all of us had a terrific struggle right down to the final step. As we look hack upon our years at Howard, we are filled with confused emotions: we are happy to be leaving for the jobs for which we have prepared ourselves, yet we regret the break w-ith our friends and acquaintances. The last four or five years have been a time of struggle and gaiety, of tears and laughter. These years we shall never forget, for these were years that we hope will make our professional life a success. TAU BETA PI Honor Society in Engineering These are the Thirty-five Charter meinlx'i's of Tau Beta Pi. Included in the group is Miss I .aBonnie Biail-chi, who though qualified scholastically, could not lx inducted into Tau Beta Pi because of its ban on women. She became the PHth woman to receive the organization’s badge of honor in its history of 71 years. 58 Senior Class Officers I.,(I to right: Arthur Moore, Student Council Representative; I).i u!

Free haircuts (Mohawk-style), beanies, and examinations made our first week one to write home about. We aspired to become Kiibensleins. ndersons and Toscaninis and were soon made to realize that the achievement of such stature would require many years of concentrated study. Thus, with much enthusiasm. wc began our college career. We shall always remember with pride: ( )ur Choir The performance at tin- Inaugural Ball .. The appearances at Constitution I lall with Dean Lawson taking the podium as conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra... The inspiring music even Sunday morning The deeply moving Christmas services . .. The periodic tours which were always followed by rave newspaper notices ... Our hood and onr Orchestra The concerts by the Cniversitv Syrnphonette . . . The band concerts at the Faster Sunrise services ... The baud concei ts in honor of such dignitaries, as President Kiscnhower. the Queen of Holland, the King and Queen of ( Greece, Fmperor Salussie... Onr Advisor Dr. Allen, who was awarded the Ph D. degree from Catholic University in 1954 ... Onr Chapter of tin Musii I.dinator.s Xational Conference Which sponsored yearly community concerts and did much to make us realize our responsibilities as Future Educators of merica Onr Student (-ouncil The enjoyable social gatherings which it sponsored ... (fur Creek Letter (Irganization.s Pi Kappa Lambda and I'lii Mu lpha ... We shall never forget: Our terror on the occasion of the first examinations before the faculty of the School of Music . . The long hours spent during registration getting signatures, signing up for applied subjects, having registration material checked by advisors and waiting in line for the Dean s signature, only to discover that the entire procedure had to be gone through again because of conflicts in class schedules ... The tense trying hours before and during jury examinations which each of us experienced every semester. Then there were the anxious hours which followed, as we waited for the announcement of grades. The coldest day's of the year when Howard Hall had no heat and classes were suspended—just when we had our assignments prepared. too... The nights spent in room 104 listening to the 1001 recordings which could In asked about on tin-final examinations... The mass theory final examinations in the Chapel... The atonal practice pianos on which we could modulate without intent for these arc the only pianos uu which you can play the C major scale on the black keys . . . The fiendish manner in which all examinations in every' department tend to fall on the same day ... We the class of 1956, guthei our hooks, laurels, and memories, as we hopefully step out into the waiting world. Idealizing that the responsibility for the future of our country rests upon our shoulders. The past four years have been productive, demand ing. delightful, and at times frustrating. Wc hope that our many educational experiences will enable us to blossom forth as capable musicians, aware of our potentialities, as we t.ike our places as citizens in n democratic society. We go forth to liecome conductors. educators, composers and performers. We leave the school wc love so well with hopes and ambitions, for “When from thee we’ve gone away may we strive for thee each day. as we sail life's nigged sea, Oh Howard, we’ll sing of thee.' 68 Music Educators National Conference Faculty Adviosr. l)r Lillian M Allen.

Our assignment would be much easier if we � ould merely record the events which transpired from the time we were neophytes in 1952. It all tiegan in September 1952. when we assembled m the Medical School iiditorimn to hear “the Orders il the Day, or rather Orders for Four Years Dean Joseph I.. Johnson admonished ns to adhere to the fight lor ethical principles in the profession. We were impressed and stimulated by the orations Irom the ‘Trc - Minical Overlords' and upperclassmen. Following three or four days ol registering, sightseeing, entertaining, and I l ightening experiences. M Day finally arrived— Monday Marshall and Ma Moore. It was thought that we were to encounter the most terrifying schedule imaginable, however, we wore insulted when we realized that sve had to begin with the BC’s Anatomy. Bacteriology, biochemistry, and Cobb. Finally when on the brink ol successfully completing our first sear, wo suddenly discovered that things got more enniused and more upset There was that lellow named Newman who taught us Bioehrin. Suddenly his ghost began showing up in the natoiny l.nb as we ware preparing for the cadasar walk. To make matteis worse. “Briscoe’s parasites Began to invade our environment, and our resistance began to crumble under the assault. Being extreme!) pious individuals, however, we were suddenly invested with a protective coat ol immunity by a modern Hercules (this above all made our first year a success ). It has been revealed that this superhuman individual is known In the pseudonym ol Shorty Mac. s sophomores, we wa n- like infants just beginning to walk. Unbounded confidence and daring were our guiding factors. The universe was ours; nothing could stop us. MV conquered Bookei and Pharmacology. Hawthorne and Physiology. Comely and Public Health, and Jason and Pathology: then we carried the assault to Pediatries and Psychiatry. Nevertheless, we wen suddenly confronted w ith a new threat more dangerous than the H-Bomb. Hitting iis like a bolt ol lightning and erupting like a thousand vnleunos w as die first member of the Onerary Society ol Clinical Overlords” whom wo met in February 1951 His name was Hiley Thomas, head of the division that theorized that all diseases are due to Diabetes Mellitus and could be cured with the thyroid extract. Ye learned later that the only reason we passed our sophomore year was that the other Clinienl Fathers insisted that we he preserved for clinical research (so that they could justify the huge amounts which dies were receiving in grants lor research i. • it turned out. we were the best laboratory sjH'cimeii they ever had. We were electrocuted by “K-Y l.awiuli. we were poisoned with diodrust during augiocardiographv by J. Lutcii Berg Johnson; we develop'd diarrhea from the oral concoctions of H. Kelley Brown; we were masccrntcd. prostateeto-mized. and amputated by fellows called Crcen, Frank Jones, and Chidden. We were even forced to honor Dr. Y. L lleniy and Dr. T. Davis for their efforts in perpetuating the ideals and standards requisite fm making ours a great medical community. Finally, after two years of experimentation, the test of the Clinicians' efforts had arrived -medical and surgical orals and comprehensive —to determine the success or failure of I heir multitudinous and varied forms of testing management, and treatment Tile results were startling. But we can sav that never before in the bistorv «� l human events has so much Ir'cii owed by so many I medical students) to so few clinicians. Three-fourths of the class had gained weight in spite of four years of insomnia, fasting, and BOH; some had developed dass-o-phobia. and hadn't attended any classes since our Frosh year. Some acquired chronic D.C.'s resisting all forms of therapy, as indicated by the fact that they couldn't earn alx ve a C or Ixdow a I) in any of their courses. Tin most appalling result has been the terrific mortality rate which affected more than one-hall ol the class. It is to these class members that we offer our filial measure ol devotion. We w ill cherish their memory not only for their valor and sacrifice but most of all for their courage to say. I do. As we leave our Alma Mater, our hearts are overflowing w ith sorrow, with humility , with love. Hc-moiscful are we to leave tlmsc who are responsible for our training. We appreciate our responsibilities to mankind and to our profession, and we will strive to promote the prosperity and happiness of others.

Septomhei was the mouth when some lifts two eager Ireshmen dental students queued up in an ancient reconvicted mansion at 5th and V streets. N.W.. to embark on the last four laps of an already lengthy academic journey. That afternoon when the formalities of registration were completed, we gathered in the medical auditorium to hear a few ]X arls from Dean Dixon, who in the preceding decade had cast similar pearls to hundreds ol pairs of eager and attentive ears. The students were introduced to till? nu n and women who were to guide in (and goad us I along the narrow and treacherous trail that all such candidates must travel. Then came out first encounter with the Treasurer of the University and the Dental Students' Supply Depot. This and many more mandatory visits necessitated such tactics as ducking, dodging, borrowing, sanding appeasing, threatening. pleading, hoping wishing, anil praying. We picked up a few gems Iroui the sophomores who were the hardened veterans of (boss natouiy and Boo-T. They were the hardy souls who had survived the blood)1 analy ses of Biocheui and the urinous vapors of their own steaming, bubbling, and glistening 21 hour samples. Their advice was r« assuring.

With the Bac-T practical and the “cailaviM walk lx -I li ml us. we upciiisi the second door of this confusing maze anti were met with C B (Crown and Bridge). The sophomores honied much midnight oil while getting those 8 P’s- Pharmacology. Physiology, and Pathology. Final semester exams rained on us in torrential proportions .staggering oven the freest imaginations. The facility decided that rather than have an emptv clinic they would hoist ns to the third level of this steep scholastic slope Juniors! Clinicians at last! But this patient was not like the mannikin! She was late or absent at tunes. She moved her head. She ha l an inquisitive tongue, and she salivated profusely.

The fact that we ever became seniors is silent tribute to the stamina intestinal fortitude, and powers of human endurance of the people of the Washington area and to the amazing amount of physical trauma that living tissues may withstand. The first clinical year brought us into dose contact with the Superintendent of Clinics, known to his close associates (anil all clinical dental students who I.til or are pushed into this category) as Dr. Joe Henry. It .soon became evident that it is not the function of a clinical administrator to win friends and influence people, hut merely to influence people. It is generally agreed among dental students that there arc fexv who can equal him in this regard. noted administrator once saiil Speak softly and carry a big stick! While the tone of voice is not under dispute, the consensus among dental students is that a small hammer can he just as effective. Though there may lx- some difference of opinion, shall we say . as to the necessary armamentarium, the fact remains that results have lx en obtained— a high level of dental practice, an orderly clinic, and some habit patterns of professional conduct that will not soon he forgotten When all the nicks and scratches, contusions and abrasions inclined along our journey to the summit have healed, we will sit and reflect on many of the experiences of these toil-filled years. We won't forget tin joke-filled sessions with Dr. Walton. We learned more Prosthetics between jokes than we realized, and strangely enough, each joke had a deep philosophical message which seemed to reach everyone when the laughter hail died away. Ours was a group that seemed to he caught in all the innovations. Our first semester was the first under the semester plan at tlii - University. We were the lirst to operate in tlx new dental clinic as neophyte clinicians (the dream of numerous preceding classes). We were the experimental animals for the new central record system. We had our ups and downs together but somehow we kept smiling through it all with the help of the class comedians au ! the masterful mimicry of that madman of mirth Laughing Lou Jenkins.

As Sophomores we were manipulative, for that was the year of practical pharmacy. As Juniors we were reflective and as Seniors we were recitative, for thi'M� were the years of production. During tik freshman year, the class was steered by Calvin Pressley, who was very instrumental in tying a bond of fellowship Ijetwccn students from all over the country. | hn Hockley took the wheel’’ at the l cgmniug of the sophomore year and demonstrated to the group that he jHXSSesscd inherent leadership qualities and readily began to utilize them lor tin advancement of the class. Having completed a successful year under such competent leadership, tin-class nominated and unanimously elected him to serve again in the junior and senior years. Frank Austin became vice president of tin- Student Ihancli of the American Pharmaceutical Association our junior year ami advanced to tin presidency for the senior year. Under his leadership, our group was host to the Fifth Annual Convention of Student Branches of the Vmerican Pharmaceutical Association with representatives from eighteen colleges of pharmacy. The convention was a first in two rc-sjK'cts. It marked the first time that Howard had entertained the organization and the first time that our new building was open loi an ollicial affair. Kenneth Scott was selected president of the Student Council and the Council had a most successful year. For the first time in its history Howard had a Pharmacy student as president of Chi Delta Mu Fraternity. when Emmanuel Jenkins was elected to serve. Our Freshman and Sophomore years seem cpiite uneventful compared to our Junior and Senior years, at which time we became fully indoctrinated with one thought “unity.” Tltough almost uneventful we cannot say that these years were completely devoid of activities. We were well represented at the Student Branch Banquet honoring Mr. F. Boyer Fi an-zoni. President of the Vinerie.m Pharmaceutical Association; several of our students attended the Student Branch Convention at Temple University in Philadelphia; the Student Council gave its annual picnic at Hock Creek Park. The memorable events of our Junior year started with a visit to the Botanical Cardens of the Agricultural Department at Reltsville. Maryland. Throughout the year we aided in categorizing historical crude drugs m the Materia Medica Department at tin Smithsonian Institute. Kenneth Scott was the recipient ol the Chemical Vchicvcmcnt Award sponsored In the Vmerican Chemical Ituhbcr Company of Cleveland Ohio, on its fiist presentation ill our College. Spring of this s ear brought with it the first and indeed unforgettable. Talent Show given by the Student Council. Members of mu class were outstanding participants the show was conducted In that famous “hillbilly. John Beck ley. who was teamed up with Ins boy “Jenks supported by Char- lie Parker’s understudy was Joseph Angel Figueroa: and Howard's reply to William Warfield was Hiram (). Sanders And we cannot forget that Latin American boy. Kenneth R. Scott who thrilled the crowded room with his interpretation of the Clia Cha. The grand finale of our Junior sear was the trip to Suuihh in New York with Dr. P. V. Hammond as advisor. This was our first insight into the manufacturing phase of pharmacy. Since this was before the day of tlx ‘ $64.(MX) Question. one of our classmates. Emmanuel Jenkins, had to settle for an appearance on Red Benson’s Take a Numlrer. He pleased everyone by answering four consecutive questions ami winning prizes valued at approximately $125.00. In September of 1055. we started on the last lap in tin race to attain the goal for which we had striven incessantly over the preceding three years. We could have found no lx tter incentive awaiting iin than a new building, equipped with such modem facilities as a research laboratory, modem classrooms. a student lounge, separate laboratory's for each class, a dark room, a dust proof room for preparing sterile solutions, a balance room, a library, a conference room, a manufacturing laboratory, and a dispensary equip|H d with telephones. In December, at the Freshman Becv| tion. for the first time recognition was given to three members of our class lor scholastic achievement and student participation during the foregoing school year. They were Eliza-lieth W. Miller. Frank L. Austin, and Kenneth H. Scott. By far the culminating event of the lour years was a trip to Indianapolis. Indiana, where wc were guests Of Eli Lilly Manufacturing Company. Lilly, one of the foremost drug manufacturing companies in the world, left no stone unturned in making th.it trip .hi indelible experience which will forever stand out in our “treasure chests’ ol memories. We cannot forget Bill Hidcuourc. John Moore, anti Dr. Roy C. Darlington, our advisor, who were instrumental in making that trip a “keepsake among our memories. In April, our class was represented .it the National Pharmaceutical Convention in Detroit. Michigan, by (iurtis Matthews. For the past four years, we have received training from competent instructors in the various departments of the university. Wc feel that they have imparted to us one of the best pharmaceutical educations attainable anyw here Wc have crossed the l� a and the ocean lies Ik fore us. The foregoing statement expresses the sentiments of every graduating senior who has strived incessantly to reach this point. For some, it will Im a venture dircctlv into our field of endeavor, for others, a unlit.irv interlude, and for still others the future lias yet to be planned Whatever the future mas hold for us. it is our determination to uphold the ethics of pharmacy and to contribute to the advancement of tiie profession. m Senior Class Officers lA-tt to right; Kli .ilxtli Miller.

To lead us over the rough and uncertain path before us we chose Simon I.. Cain, an able president. former officer in the U. S. ir Force and a dynamic leader. We were a closely knit group of sixty-five novices interested in a common goal: to become good lawyers, and in our naivete we were extremely close. So we felt acutely the tragic loss of one of our best in that first year—Mary li. Weaver. We sat in the shadows of some of the greatest constitutional lawyers of our time and listened to dry runs of the legal arguments which lead to the Supreme Court’s decisions of 1951-55. We were a part of that history which shook the legal structure of jiin Crowi.sm and devitalized the Separate but e jual doctrine. We returned, a little wiser in our second year, a little chastened, ami infinitely more humble. The year hail taken a toll from our number; there were fewer to occupy the seats. But there was an addition to our smaller family. Ted Stevens joined us in September. The difficult second year began with the “Agency-Bills and Notes-AA'ills-Iividenee quartet. And soon we were struggling again, trying to fathom agency's questions of fact. to identify the holder in dm course. to detect the “testator’s intention, and hoping for u little light to dawn on “presumptions. We spent long hours preparing our cases for Trial Practice. hut we had fun every Saturday learning just how little we really knew about what we were so sure we hail mastered theoretically, finding to our amazement that Ircforc Judge’’ George F..C. Hayes, the rules we had learned so well and luul so neatly categorized for various situations, became a little stubborn and refused to obey our first calls. Under tin able leadership of Odell Horton, we had regular class meetings with an unusual amount of order and good procedure, though not infre qiientlv at the ex|x me of Holx rt s Buies. Class projects reached a new high, anil we found ourselves operating with more esprit tie corps than formerly. We enjoyed n uicinlx riiig ourselves to sick classmates and to those of us whose families had suffered misfortune during the year. nd the class parties: these were more frequent tins year, anil, somehow, more enjoyable. Laurels to the Social Committee anil Pasquale.” Under the sponsorship of the Scholarship Committee. a series of lectures by faculty members ol the Law School and the University, covering various aspects of legal work, reading problems, and tips on how to prepare for anil write final examinations, were offered. Quietly, a carefully selected group hail been working on problems of recent decisions, analyzing, digesting anil synthesizing into case notes distinguished cases of the year, and together with the efforts of legal xeholars whose generous contributions were gathered for tlie purpose, the group brought into being the first issue of The Howard Laic Journal. Ahlv guided by a faculty group composed of Professors Jenkins. Quick, and Reid, the students had made .1 dream come true. Ilu Howard Laic Journal made a highly successful dehut among the leading scholarly journals of our country. The applause was great, and we were justly proud. But this was not the only first’ to come to us this year. Our Bill Atkins was elected vice president of the American Law Students -Association’s F.lcvcuth ( ir-cuit and we joyfully shared with him the unique Iioiidi that had come to him and us. On September I f. 1955. the Class of ’56 was ii|hmi the last leg of tin perilous journey through the How ard l aw School, a group much w iser and much smaller than the record-breaking number of sixty-five awe-struck freshmen that composed the original safari. To steer us through the final entanglement of our legal learning, tin- class chose as president. John “Chuck Middleton. The year previously, Lionel C. Ranger had been chosen by the student body to Ik its Student Bar ssociation president for the year 1955-56. Tragedy , our constant companion, struck early in the year by' delaying for a while the academic pursuits of Beginald V. Gibson ami Kenneth li. Brown. This bleakness was brightened, however, when in the month of Dei ember. Mrs Bryant presented her proud and sleepless Hubert with the sweetest little eight pound bundle ol feminine charm (and noise); anil on December 27. Charles V. Smith took unto himself a wife. Miss I1.lien M Robinson of the class of ’57. James Mcrick, a bridegroom of our second y ear w as presented with a son. Academically our class braced itself for its first meeting with Dean Johnson in Federal Taxation and recently returned Professor Dorsey li. Lane in Sales and Secured Transactions—the entire class enrolled in both courses. Legal research also played its part in the fortune of four ’56-ers when General Services Administration awarded a research contract to the Howard Law School in September. The student members participating in this project were: Althea T. L. Simmons. stenographer; Paul L. Diggs. John I Middle-ton. and AVilbcrt AA'hitsett. researchers. Now that the journey is over the class of ’56 fortified by its experience at Howard looks to the future w ith confidence. 147 Sonior Clast Officers Salted, left to right; Walter Parrish, Vice-President; John F.

Hut. whatever our emotions were. we were made to feel welcome as we received the warm greetings of the Dean and faculty, who introduced us into the School of Religion lamib t«� begin our studies. Too numerous, indeed for detailed description here arc the many and varied experiences which were woven into the fabric of mil pilgrimage toward the successful completion of our studies. Outstanding in this connection was the annual Convocation. Wo learned to exchange ideas with authorities and to meet men prominent in the field Oh a personal basis. Imagine meeting Carroll Wise, outstanding in the field of personal counseling. Dr S. Ralph llarlow of Smith College and Elton Truehlood, the noted author! These enlivening exj erieiices constituted onl ,i few of the tremendous hours we enjoyed during these Convocation sessions. t Student Vssembly meetings we received stilling lectures from such jx-rsons as Dr II C.'laviei I niversitx of Strasbourg. Trance W’c engaged in .hi experience of a similar nature in the annuel retreat at tin Davis Mouse. Discussion at the retreat was somewhat limited, thus affording long periods Ini leflection and meditation. These retreats refueled tin spiritual resources, suggesting that repetition of the same would he invaluable inched. I low ever, not all of our activ ities were l .1 solemn nature. There Were Student Assemblies which featured friendly fellowship and delicious food pie-pared and supervised by our librarian. Mrs. Ethel Williams. There wore the school picnics with the faculty. Mere we discovered many qualities alrout our professors that we would not have ill the usual teacher-student contacts. We learned a lot about cadi other, too in the process of time, things unrelated to the field of the ministry. It was during such peril Is that we found out that N P. Maiming was a former principal of Dunbar High School, of Johnson Ci! . Tennessee; that Hal Dobson had talents in dramatics and play directing; that Hal Hunter had taught in the public schools of •he District of Columbia before entering the field of religion; that Herb Eaton could entertain with his tenor voice. During the years we would gather around the piano with Jim Coates leading the fellowship with his musical ability. Fred Barnes, combining experience with good sense, drew the class closer together in a spirit of good w ill and friendliness. We caught something of the significance of eter-nitx in losing ourselves in our experiences . . . cx|X ricncc.s which made for the furtherance of the organization of our lives and work around .1 dynamic consciousness of God. The stretching of experience into minutes hours, days, weeks, months anil years tends to make one conscious of the laborious roll of the seasons and the slow movement of the years. This pain was not ours—it was not ours because wv found in the School of Religion the joy .nisi pleasure of continuous fulfillment. Because of the movement of our deeper selves toward inner wholeness, the Nears of the cultivation of our minds in the discipline of scholarship scorn hut of brief moment. Graduation is at hand! As we look m retrospect we find at times that it is difficult to keep hack the tears, to hide our dis-ap|M)intiiicuts over things not accomplished. At oilier times, it is our privilege to thrill with joy at tin knowledge of successful accomplishments. No small measure of gratitude is to he given to the Dean and members ol the lacnltx for tin high standard of intellectual and spiritual leadership which I hex have untiringly Ircstnwed upon us. Wvare of the enriching exjrericncc which is ours, we say to one another: “Let us. then. Ik lip and doing W ith a heart for any fate.

And now that time has come. We entered the School of Social Work on Septcm-lier 20, 1954. We were a little confused and bewildered. and with mixed emotions about the quest which lay ahead. We stood alert and dedicated to the task of learning and developing the skills which would enable us to become professional social workers. giving service to all peoples. During Orientation Week we were formally greeted by Dean Lindsay and introduced to the faculty. At the end of the first orientation meeting we were given the opportunity to introduce ourselves, meet with our new classmates and friends who came from various parts of the globe. The friendly and warm atmosphere that prevailed impressed us all. The next few weeks were filled with many interesting and stimulating moments: we attended classes, met our advisors, and buried ourselves in Founders Library reading Burns. Hamilton, Colcord, and the Social Work Yearbook. We were entertained by the second year class at a Oct Acquainted party at the home of Eva Scott where wc danced and talked over sandwiches and punch about our experiences so far and of what lay ahead. Tlu feeling of unity and comradeship developed and has lasted during our stay at Howard. Our weeks were filled with class lectures, field work training, study and fun. We will never forget some of the brilliant comments made by some of our professors . . . Dr. Ware in Community Organization saying, time has not come when social workers can hang out their shingles . . . and Dr. Magnus with do I make myself dear” . . . and not to forget Mr. Smith in Casework discussing his assumptions. Can wc ever forget those Chn-chn lessons wc took in Group Work with Mr. Gibbons, or being dismissed from classes in Racial and Cultural Factors by Dtan Lindsay to go to the library or Reading Room to study. Well, we faced the fact that social work was a hard struggle and that it was a major sacrifice lor everyone. We learned to pair off in studs groups and work on our projects and review our assignments while trying to keep awake by drinking steaming cups of black coffee. We passed our first semester finals and plunged into the work of the second semester. We were joined by two new classmates. Helen Franklin and Lucille Young, on a Vocational Rehabilitation grant to finish in a year and a half. We welcomed Mrs. Olds, also as a new mem Ik r of the faculty. Squeezed in Ix-tween classes and field work came tlu election of our present class officers at one of our lH-st Student Organization meetings. Committees began to function and all of us participated fully in the projects. Luncheon meetings were held in the lounge and our classmates from foreign lands gave talks on the cultures of their native lands and we heard of social welfare programs in distant Africa. Europe, and Asia. The spirit of international brotherhood was truly developed in our class. The year ended with a picnic at Dr. Ware’s spacious farm in Vienna, Virginia. As the second year approached wc began to realize as never before our inadequacies in the field of social work. We were happy to return to Howard for further training. Grace Young and Mary Joan Miiench. National Foundation For Infantile Paralysis Scholars, joined us along with Mary Foley, from the Atlanta School of Social Work. Vfaaike Dom-missee returned to her native Holland and the Social Committee gave her a farewell party which was held at the home of Jean Hildebrand. Arva Marshall and the Committee also sponsored a fine party for the first year students at the Kappa I rat House. Dr. Ware was oil leave this year, and Mrs. Smith returned from a year of study. We met with our Dean and Faculty in the Second Year Orientation program and discussed our areas of specialization and topics for our theses. Eva Scott, a recent graduate, gave a stimulating talk in tlu research seminar on her experiences in thesis writing, and Dr. Magnus gave us hope and courage and help in developing our chosen projects. Let us not mention the R.O.T.C. Band which played the loudest tunes outside our seminar window. During the first semester the Bison and Publication Committee published the first school paper and the Social Action Committee and representatives from other classes collaborated with Pal Jones to present one of the best programs and luncheons ever held at the School. The program was our contribution to tlu Jewish celebration of Hanukkah. Feast of Lights. The Committee under the guidance of Thelma Rutherford and the Washington Fellowship Group sponsored a “Doll Library project which carried out tlu theme of The Brotherhood of Man. As we prepare to leave the School of Social Work and Howard University we hesitate and begin to lake stock of ourselves. Strangely, we are not as happy to leave as wc thought we would be. As we make ready to depart we realize that we part not with classmates hut with true friends. We. the Class of 1956. would like to express our thanks and sincere appreciation to our Dean and to the faculty and to all who have worked with ns and given so unselfishly of their time and learning in order that we might succeed. Tin rest is left to us. It is lor us to now go forth and serve and strive to uphold the principles of our profession. 165 Student-Faculty Committee I Men Whittington.
