J .-• s T ■• ■ w 3 i S(g i lii sl THE BULL nineteen hundred fifty six Robert Wells Harold Holt Julia Nelson Editor Asst. Editor Bus. Mgr. Fifteenth Edition Johnson C. Smith University CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA : V V- THE HENRY LAWRENCE The Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary held its beginning during a new social era in American life. It was founded as a result of the Christian zeal and philanthropic spirit that characterized the total missionary move- ment of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., to aid the freedom of the middle nineteenth cen- tury. With the freedom of the middle nineteenth century came the opening of new frontiers of evangelism to the Negro. This caused an in- creased enrollment in theological seminaries and a need for more and better facilities. McCROREY THEOLOGICAL BUILDING To cope with the need of the hour the Alumni and friends of Johnson C. Smith Uni- versity initioted o movement to raise money for the erection of a new Theological Building. This building provides an office for the Dean of the Seminary, an office for the Di- rector of the Catawba Synod ' s Field Program, six offices for teachers, one conference room, the Library for the School of Theology, a medi- tation club room, seven class rooms, a work room for the Librarian, a student club room end janitorial and storage room. This building became a realization on November 12, 1955 when it was dedicated. TO OUR PARENTS OUR GUIDING LIGHT the key to INSTRUCTION Ulie j- reiident S iVU Character, scholarship, maximum effort, and motivation to serve, are among the de- sirable characteristics that should be the out- come of a four-year college experience. I congratulate the Senior Class of 1956 on the opportunity afforded its members, through the publication of THE BULL, to experience growth in these directions. I salute the mem- bers of the Senior Class who ore going to eSSaae exemplif y in their lives these characteristics. Our society needs men and women who pos- sess these traits in a high degree. Smith is dedicated to the task of providing more and richer opportunities for such de- velopment on the part of its students. Our desire and aim are that each of you will attain and maintain a FIRST CLASS status in your total life. ADMINISTRATION Dean T. E. McKinney Dean of the College Dr. A. H.

Robert Wells, Angeline Elliot, DeThursta The Student Council is an organization, composed of student representatives based on the belief of faculty and students that there are educational, social, and moral values in student participation and self direction and on the desire of students to develop and maintain high ideals of conduct, to co-operate effectively with the administration and fac- ulty in holding high standards of citizenship and scholarship in the University. the key io KNOWLEDGE e ■ I enlo- Pn.o-fikecif. I can hardly believe that ten years ago we were graduated from Johnson C. Smith. How- ever, the class of 1956 just had its class re- union and what a joy to see so many members of that class. As I boarded the plane in Las Vegas for Charlotte, I rec ognized some familiar faces. Thomas Bryant was the pilot and Margaret Thomas, Pearl Pitts and Susie McGill were stewardesses on the plane. I recognized George Cunningham and Carol Deloatch. Carol is a pediatrician now practicing in Cali- fornia. I proceeded to read the paper that I bought at the airport. I see here that Pecola Abraham is journalist for the New York Times. She has written a very interesting article about the work that James Brown and Mary Etta Booker are doing in Chungkin, China and New Delhi, India. She mentions also that Robert Blanks is in Germany working for U.N.E.S.C.O. At last we are in Charlotte and believe it or not, but the campus hasn ' t changed a bit. The first person I recognized was Nellie Flem- ing. Nellie tells me that she and Muriel Dock- ery, Mary Dorsey, Jane Love and Ernestine Rowe are working in Chicago at a school for delinquent girls. Many of our classmates went into the teaching profession. Dwight Caldwell is prin- cipal at Green Elementary School in Jackson, Miss. Working with Dwight ore Wilhelmina Page, Reother Forbes, Hiram Holland, and Laura Gibson. From Mississippi to California we find Smithites working to train young minds. Roy Mcllwain serves as Assistant Principal at Double Oaks Elementary School in Riverside, Calif. Under his fine leadership we find Car- rie Hill, Barbara Medford, Margaret Smoot, Tayioria Stroud, and Bessie Graham. Some remained in Charlotte to do deeds for humanity. William Partlow, James Griffin, and Eugene Poole have certainly developed a terrific football team at Smith. Oscar Thomas, James Colson, Hayden Renwick are also mem- bers of the Smith Faculty, while Roland Erwin serves as School Doctor. In Charlotte we also find many Smithites teaching. Those in the class of ' 56 are: Frances Davis, Willie Smith, Mildred Walker, Mildred Harris, Irie Stephens, Mary McAfee, Nell Brogden and Carolyn Garrison. Some of the class went into business. Juan- ita Wideman is a Beauty Culturist at El Paso, Texas; Robert Wells, Lawyer; William Banks, Vice President of the Union Bank in Tusca- loosa, Alabama; Beatrice Taylor, Physical Therapist; Thad Rhodes; Novelist; Leon Wat- kins, Psychologist; William Rodgers, Doctor; Frances Jackson, Fashion Designer; Rose Cob- iness, Literary Critic; Woddell Johnson, Pub- lisher; Frank Gaither, Mortician; Walter Wil- liams, Singer; Edison Towe, Football Coach; Helena Sammons, Painter; Lester Wade, Mathematician; Lunell Jackson, Social Work- er; Delia Joggers, Historian; Betty Young, Poet; Shirley Williams, Educator; Robbie Walker, Physicist; Josiah Washington, Social Worker; Evelyn White, Teacher; Edna Strong, Model; Doug Spears, Baseball Manager; Ar- thur Slade, Biologist; Audrey Russell, Teacher; Roosevelt Pierce, Chemist; Julia Nelson, Sec- retary; Ernest James, Principal; Beverly Kelly, Actress; Paul Ledbetter, Newspaperman; James Lewis, Lawyer; Ralph Hunt, Mathema- tician; Harold Holt, Brain Surgeon; Constance Hill, French Writer; Althea Harris, Registered Nurse; William Harris, Minister; Frances Gamble, Teacher; Janie Freeman, Social Writer; James Davis, Interpreter; and Mamie Clements, Librarian. It mokes me very happy to see so many of us have succeeded and accomplished the things that we hove been striving for. To the class of 1956 God Bless You one and all.

DELTA SIGMA THETA The founders of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority visualized in 1913, at Howard Uni- versity, an organization whose aim would be something more serious than social activity. They longed to see developed a union of col- lege women based on certain cardinal princi- pals and pledged to uphold lofty ideals. Col- lege women of like potentialities and dedicat- ed to the same ideals and purposes.

Prior to 1954, member- ship was required of all students enrolled in the German classes. Since this date a consti- tution has been drawn up which requires mem- bership on a voluntary basis. It has expanded to include students not taking German but who wish to participate because of their inter- est in German and the German cultures. The program of the German Club has a dual nature, being divided between the social and cultural.

Olympia, the home of the gods of Greekdom, was considered the site of the absolute in sportsmanship and athletic prowess. The famed Grecian discus thrower of yore, represents today the epitome of ex- cellence paid to the legendary gods of ancient Rome and Greece, that we proceed to discuss the merits of our various teams. In football, our team receives the laurel wreath for its complete alliance with the rules of the game. Even though we were not always victorious OS far as the winning of the game was concerned, one factor remained fairly obvious; the team exemplified the finest in clean sportsmanship and allegiance to the Alma Mater. And as the good host in diplomacy saves the most tantalizing dish for the last course, so we have done here in the praising of our coaches. But we seem to reach an all-encom- passing dilemma. For we have neither the rhe- torical genius of the philosopher, Plato, nor the devout eloquence of Daniel Webster. Be- cause of this shortcoming we can only say, Coaches ' Your merits and achievements defy expression in our insufficient wording. — Thod Rhodes, Jr. SQUAD Vv ' ilham Banks, senior; Alfred A.
