Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1952 volume:

foreword During the memorable years which have passed since the founding of Morgan State College in 1867, its campus has resounded to the f x t- steps of thousands of men and women. These years have witnessed many dramatic, spiritual and material changes. Many of the buildings which grace our campus today were not here in 1948. In these buildings, the new and old, we have spent many unforgettable hours. We have attempted to feature some of these old and new buildings in our Promethean. I lolmes I (all, the administration building, occupied in 1950, will acquaint you with the administrative officers, the faculty, and the administrative assistants who were instrumental in transmitting knowledge and creating understanding in the classes. Soper Library will introduce you to the classes. This structure will long remain in the heart and memories of the 1952 graduate, as will the Morgan Christian Center, which offered an ideal opportunity to integrate worship, pleasure, and learning, thus dev’lop- ing an asset for later life. I lurt Gymnasium, dedicated in February of this year, presents our athletes, who through teamwork and group participation, have given Morgan national and international recognition. From the shy freshmen entering the Memorial Gate to the graduates leaving the campus, you will hear the echoes and catch glimpses of the students and campus between September, 1948 and May, 1952. This feature is brought to you through the sacrificing of free hours, evenings, weekend dates, and innumerable hours of sleep. We hope that you will enjoy your reading of the Promethean as much as the Promethean Staff has enjoved preparing it for you. De Loris Williams Editor-In-Chief 1 'Dedication di ki;v And do we weep?

JENKINS Greetings to the Class of 1952 Very shortly you will go into the world as graduates of Morgan State College. You arc to be congratulated upon this significant step which signalizes completion of your formal educational preparation at the under- graduate level. Edwin Markham once jienned these lines: We have committed the Golden Hide to memory; Let ns now commit it to life. May I say to you in this vein that you have learned a lot during these golden undergraduate years; now commit this learning to life! There is much to lx done in the disturbing |x ri xl that now confronts us. 1 challenge and exhort you to apply vour personal resources and your personal courage to the solution of the problems of a badly disorganized world. Martin I). Jenkins President 8 GEORGE C. GRANT Dear Class of 1952: Ability, persistence, ambition and determination have brought you to the end of your undergraduate career at Morgan State College. I he administration and faculty have tried to help you develop to the limit of your potentialities.

We have tried to stimulate your imagination, for without vision no progress can lx. expected. We have tried to help you become more objective in your approach to problems of lile, including human relations. Emotion alone has never solved a problem.

Lise your talents to find these things, and forget not that each of us is hound to all the rest of us with that invisible spirit of our Alma Mater. George C. Grant Dean 9 FACULTY During the period of four years, from September, 1948 to June. 1952, the faculty has guided the class of 1952 and has con- tributed to the development of its mental resources. There have been times when some members of our class have been un- responsive and even somewhat antagonistic toward faculty policies, but these same policies are those which have helped us to reach todav this phase of our develop- ment. The faculty has encouraged us in our extra-curricular activities, for it has realized that emphasis upon mere subject matter alone is not sufficient in the building of a wholesome personality. It has been the in- spiration for our preparation for worthy citizenship. Of the one hundred members of this faculty, thirty-seven have their Doctorates. To this faculty, we are grateful, for its time, its effort and its interest. 10 COLLEGE STAFF “Peck—peck—peck! Rin-ng—Rin-ng! What can 1 do for you? I lc’11 be back in five minutes.—Yes . . . No.” So it is, from nine until four, Monday through Friday, and Saturday until noon. I he business staff is perennially busv, changing schedules, having conferences, and registering pupils. They have patientk. willingly, and enthusiastically served through four years the class of 1952. To the registrar’s office a student walked, and asked in a worried, yet hopeful manner. “Is my status all right? W ill I graduate in June?” Smiling, he left with his fingers crossed. Then he went upstairs to the dean’s office. “I’d like to drop 210. Yes, I know I registered yesterday, but it’s right after lunch, and I can’t stav awake.” I le then went to the business office, where he obtained a campus job. In the comptroller’s office he sang a woeful song. You charged two dollars fine for a cut just after the Raster holiday, but I went to my class. There is the b x)k store where lines are long at the beginning of the semester, where lxx ks arc high, and where our extra cigarette and coke money goes. L(x k at our cafeteria. They say we are a healthy bunch, but you draw your own conclusions. The infirmary is the place to which we go to get our cuts authorized and to view television. The dormitory directors, pace the halls nightly and remind us. “Quiet please. Mr. Patterson, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, set's to the maintenance of our entire campus. To this staff, lor its indispensable aid, the Class of 1952 offers its thanks. Mis tory of MORGAN STATE COLLEGE On October 9, 1869, the Centenary Biblical Institute at 44 East Saratoga Street, with the Rev. J. Emory Round as principal, opened its doors to serve aspiring students of the Negro group. Prior to this, from 1867 to 1869, classes were held in the basement of the local Methodist churches. The original purpose of the school was to prepare young men lor the Christian ministry. When the building at 44 East Saratoga Street became ux small to accommodate the class, a lot for a new building on the corner of Fulton and Edmondson Avenues was given by l)r. and Mrs. John F. Goucher. The cornerstone lor this building was laid June 16, 1880, and this structure is still standing today as the Maryland School lor the Blind. In 1880. Dr. Lyttleton F. Morgan, former chairman of the Board of Trustees, gave a considerable sum of money to the school, thus enabling it to offer college training. The name of the school was then changed to Morgan College in his honor. In the course of time the Edmondson Avenue site became inadequate for the purpose of the institution. In June. 1917, after years ol searching, the college t x)k title to the Ivy Mills proj erty located on Hillen Road and Arlington Avenue. In 1919. the college bought the Morgan Estate, adjacent to, and on the south side of the Ivy Mills property. Morgan College officially became a State Institution by the act ol the General Assembly ol 1939, at which time the name was changed to Morgan State College. The college has steadily grown until it is now valued at more than S4,500,000 and covers more than 85 acres. THE FACULTY DIRECTORY Department of English and Speech NICK A. FORD.

Instructor, S( t■ 1st Class 14 CLASS OF 1952 MESSAGE TO THE 11k world today is lull of turmoil and chaos. Now, as always, the college graduate will lx expected to lead in delivering it from this terrible maelstrom. Because of this prospect, my message to you is one which is centered around how. once we arc really out in what has been called In many as a cold and cruel world, we can fulfill our obligations to the world. Yes, we are obligated to the world for giving us the opportunity that many others did not receive; the opportunity to acquire knowledge. We can fulfill our obligations in this manner. Each graduate can find out whether he or she is a leader of men or a follower of leaders; having found out. he or she can proceed to develop himself or herself into a good leader or a g xxl follower. It takes a go xl follower to develop a grxxl leader. The former makes it |x ssihle for a leader to use every talent at his command, so he can move ever upward from just a plain leader to a gtxxl leader, and finally to a great leader. That is what this world needs most today, dear classmates; great leaders with gtxxl followers. Let me urge you; let me inspire you; let me lx g you to go out into your chosen fields with one cardinal purpose in mind, be the lx st leader, the best follower, or both. If you stick to that cardinal purpose, you will find that there is no limit to your possibilities. It is true that science has revealed many wondrous secrets, has laid hold upon the stars and penetrated natures mysteries. But for the aspiring man there are still greater mysteries to fathom. It is true the fundamental principles of law have been expounded, but with our complex civilization, new questions clamor for answers. more wrongs cry to be righted, and more crimes need to be condemned. True, another Caesar may not win his fame or with an iron hand rule the world: yet here in the environment of the |xx r, or in that of the rich, there is everywhere the opportunity for the man of will, nerve and soul to write his name among the stars. It is true that some doors are still closed, but others are ajar. Diamonds have been found in mother earth, but there are brighter gems. Waterloos have lx cn won on fields of blood, but greater battles are yet to be won on fields of peace. From Marv Elizabeth Bain, come the following words: There are latent in ever)’ heart, songs as yet unsung, anthems as yet unheard, chords which, if hut struck, would fill this old world of ours with music, thrill the soul of man with joy. string his heart and nerves with strength, exalt his life with hope, sweeten it with gladness, and set his whole being a-tingle with nobleness and love. There are fruits as yet unplucked, sweeter than the sight of sun-kissed clusters of purpling grapes. There are books yet unread, and leaves yet un-cut in the life of every man. There arc chaplets awaiting the brows of every man who compters difficulties, utilizes his talents and in- vests his untold worth. Tor all who but strive, who will but use untried forces, unknown energies, there are tin- gathered riches, tin-heard harmonies, un-won crowns, yea, an unrevealed heaven. Dear classmates, the world is looking to us; let us not falter. Melvin C. Fox, Jr. President of Senior Class felicitations to the Class of ’52 lit 1948 four hundred and ninctv-four freshmen entered Morgan State College, just as raw mate- rial is introduced into an industrial plant, to he developed into finished products. Now, after four years, approximately two hundred and sixt seniors are about to be graduated as refined, developed, completed products. Just as many manufactured goods ol industr enter into further production, many of the Morgan graduates of 1952 will undoubtedly continue their formal education in various grad- uate and professional schools; later they will be graduated as even more highly developed special ists. The 1952 graduate of Morgan State College is the product of a vastly improved physical plant over that of 1948. I le is likewise the pnxluct of a new administration under which the supply of skilled labor has been increased. Dr. Martin D. Jenkins assumed the presidency of Morgan State College in 1948. Forty one per cent of the officers of instruction, as recorded in the Morgan State College Bulletin. June. 1950, were appointed in 1948 or later. All of these internal improvements in the educational proc- essing plant have, without question, made for the development of a high quality product in the 1952 graduate. The 1948 freshman was the member of a post-war class. I lopeful, he arrived at Morgan in a period of peace. Now. apprehensive, he is about to leave Morgan in an atmosphere of war. In 1948. the beginning student expected to Ik developed four years hence into a civilian g x d. With the outbreak of the Korean conflict in 1950. however, lie was shocked into the sudden realization that he would probably liecome inn- teriel of war. Some ol the 1952 graduates are already committed to enter military service; others will undoubtedly serve. All statistical data predicting the percentage of graduates who will become doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc., now become invalid. One conclusion, however, seems lair. Wherever the Morgan graduate of 1952 serves, he should serve honorable, eflicientlv. and well; for, as his adviser sees it. he is a high quality product. Best Wishes, Samuel L. Myers 17 rrrwnn History of the Class of 952 Another epoch of the histon' of Morgan State College was begun September 21, 1948 when four hundred and ninety-four new students passed through the gates to begin their educa- tional careers. Dr. Martin 1). Jenkins began his administration as President of the institution, an extensive building program was initiated, and the cries of a New Morgan echoed throughout the ivvclad walls of our college community. Mixed feelings of awe, happiness, excitement, and yes, even some disillusionment and unhappi- ness, accompanied our first impression of our new home. The miseries of freshman orientation and hazing (of course) soon welded us into a unified freshman group ready and willing to make our contribution to the school. Under the leadership of I lerbert Boone, our class organization was begun. Cynthia Quander represented the class in the I lomecoming festivi- ties as Miss Freshman. Our pursuit of knowledge and participation in extra-curricula activities soon found expression and added to the general improvement of athletics, dramatics, music and other activities. The second mile of our journey found us a bit more mature as students. Our activities were 18 increased and already many of us occupied positions of leadership throughout the campus. Our added interests included the entrance of many into fraternities and sororities. In the field of sports, class members aided in the production of a national championship football team and a track team that won in national and international competition. Earl Byrd was selected as class presi- dent for that year. Additional contributions and honors were ours during our junior year, lor their scholarly achievements class members were elected to Alpha Kappa Mu and Beta Kappa Chi. Our attentions were concentrated upon our chosen major fields of study. Lionel Todman was chosen class president for this year. I Ie was to guide the destinies of our class. The distant strains of the graduation march brought new zeal and enthusiasm to the minds and hearts of the seniors who returned for their final year. The dignified senior proudly strutted and “stuck his chest out as a reminder to other students that he was a senior. Despite all the glories that were ours, we were conscious of the responsibilities and duties that lay ahead for us. YVc entrusted many of these duties to Melvin Fox, our senior class president. We flourished our rings; posed for the Promethean, planned and danced merrily at the Senior Ball; hut anxioush awaited the famed “sheepskin” to lx- presented to us on June 2. 1952. After the completion of our educational career at Morgan, we pass once again through those immortal gates hut as alumni to meet the tasks that await us in a changing and dynamic society.

Promethean Staff Another year, another Senior Class, another yearbook. This meant the selection of a staff, meetings, conference with publishers, soliciting of ads, photographing, writing, interviewing, and all the other mechanics which go into the de- velopment of a yearbook. Amid the steady chatter of typewriters, the Hashing of camera bulbs, the rush of meeting the deadline, there was ever present the spirit 1 co-operation. Under the able leadership oi IX Loris Williams. Editor in Chief. and David Briddell. Managing Editor, the yearbook took form and progressed. Ads were solicited by Edmund Peters, Advertising Manager, and Kiah Carter. Business Manager, both of whom received the 60 able assistance of Janet Clash and William Mumby. Loraine Gravatt, Art Editor, and Ralph Rogers worked with the art and settings. Maxine Bethel worked hard at her chores as Photography Editor, and Maxine Sears had her hands full as Copy Editor. Ernestine Grandison, Emily Ricks, Adrienne Turner, Jeanne Locks, Christine James. Melvin Fox, Ruth Davis, I lerbert Felix, and Yvonne Trimiar completed the working staff. When it came to reading copy, everyone pitched in. The assisting typists were: Darlene Finley, Jeanne Eaton, and Catln Williamson. The staff has worked with the desire to serve and present a yearbook to the college from the class of 1952. May the Promethean always keep pleasant memories alive.

Zhc Student Council I he immediate purpose of the Student Coun- eil is to promote order and furnish a means for co-operative activity between the administration and the student b xly. It provides a means whereby students may organize and participate effectively in those functions of the college which affect their social, economic, physical and intel- lectual welfare. Membership is limited to seventeen representa- tives: the president, five elected from the senior class, four from the junior class, four from the sophomore class, and two from the freshman class. The Spokesman and the men's and women's dormitory councils each have one rep- resentative. These personnel represent the stu- dent body on the following committees: Com- mittee on Intercollegiate Athletics, hood Services Committee, Assembly Committee, Committee on Student Publications and the Student Loan Fund Committee. During the past year, the Student Council has worked diligently on the following projects: the Student Council Concession which was oper ated at football games, a traffic light at the inter section of Hillen Road and Arlington Avenue. Blood Donor Campaign, the revision of the Student Government Constitution, a better system of Disciplinary Courts, and the impor- tance of Student-Faculty relations. 62 Voice of Morgan Students WHITE CHRISTMAS?

Bon Voyage to Morgan's Class of '521 63 THE MUSIC FACULTY COLLEGE A CAPPELLA CHORUS THE MARCHING BAND THE CONCERT BAND AT-TEN-SHUN!! We salute the first four year graduating class of the Reserve Officers Training Corps which was instituted at Morgan in 1948. K. O. Z C, Thirty-seven young officers stand ready to receive their commissions and move to the corners of the world to serve their nation. Many will enter active service immediately upon graduation. Richard I larris, a member of the class, was the first Morganite to receive an appointment in the Regular Army. These men served as cadet officers for the battalion to gain experience in drills, commands and general leadership abilities. The principal battalion officers were: Battalion Commander—Cadet Lt. Colonel Rob- ert Carpenter Battalion Executive Officer—Cadet Major James Richardson Battalion Intelligence Officer—Major William Wallace Battalion Adjutant—Cadet Captain Thomas Ross Battalion Information and Education Officer— Cadet 1st Lieutenant Arthur Scribner Plans and Operation Officer—Captain James Green S-4 Supply Officer—Cadet Captain Williard Brown Company Commander Headquarters Company —Captain Melvin Fox Company Commander “A Company—Captain Cornell Young Comjxmy Commander “B Company—Captain Henry Haste Company Commander C” Company—Captain Joseph Parham Company Commander “D” Company—Captain Tracy Walton Aside from the rigorous training, the men participated on the rifle team which competed with other colleges and universities in the area. An R.O.T.C. ball was given by the battalion in March. I t. Col. Carpenter and Captain Fox were selected as representatives of Morgan to attend the West Point Sesquicentennial, the citadel of military training. I he entire program was under the direction of Major Clinton Burke with an efficient staff of twelve men assisting him. 66 First rute, left to right: 1. Bethel, M. Holladay, K. Michcau, J.

They provide a means by which students may express themselves, and help find and create talent. Linder the co-direction of Mr. Arthur Lamb and Mr. Waters Turpin, both playwrights, they have enriched the Morgan community through the dramatic arts. Paints — masks — costumes — wigs — nails — dirt — grime and toil all contribute to the joy of productions. The past year has been a fruitful one for the club. It has produced the great tragedy, “Antigone, which has been pre- sented at various camps and schools in the community. Working on the exchange plan, the organization has presented this play at Virginia State College as well as at Shaw University. The year’s program has also included the presentation of a three-act comedy. Good Housekeeping,” starring the freshman members of the organization, and “The Velvet Glove.” Each year players are lost, but others come, for the show must go on.” Several members of the group will be leaving with the Class of 1952. They have lx en with the organization for four years and have worked through such great productions as Jane Eyre. “Lilliom.” See I low They Run,” and “Let the I av Perish,” an orig- inal by Mr. Turpin. Dorothy Sheppard is the president of the organization and along with the other graduating members, Warren I lubbard. Christine James. Gwendolyn Hill. Ellen Sears, and Maxine Bethel, offers thanks to Messrs. Lamb and Turpin for their wonderful direction and counsel. 67 Scenes front Antigone—Let the Day Perish—Release—and See How They Run ALPHA KAPPA MU HONORARY SOCIETY First row, left to right: H.

Peeping into Qreekdom Within the realms of most colleges and uni- versities there is a kingdom or an institution called “Grcckdom. The institution is composed of fraternities and sororities. To establish unanim- ity of thought and action among these Greeks is the function of the Pan I Icllcnic Council. It is through this Council that collegiate Greek-letter organizations set a mutual pattern of conduct. The Council also considers questions and problems of mutual interest, and so it is that the Morgan Council is fashioned. On our campus there are seven organizations represented on this Council. They are: Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi. and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternities. The Sororities are: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta. Dean George C. Grant is the faculty advisor to the Council. Keeping in trend with the recent changes that are affecting fraternities and sororities all over the nation, the Pan I lellenic Council here at Morgan made many definite changes during the past year. Instead of the usual disorder associated with I Iclr Week, the various organizations started many constructive programs. The purpose of these programs was to chan- nelize the activities of the probates so they would be beneficial to the sch x l communitv at large. The services rendered were general clean-up programs, soliciting aid for charitable organiza- tions. aid given in the cafeteria’s shortage of workers, conversion of the “dust bowl into a Little Theater, and the sale of Christmas seals. Similar programs are continued year round bv the various fraternities and sororities. Perhaps we have discussed what the Greeks are doing sufficiently enough, so let’s take a j cep at them, huh? 71 % © VjV Vf r $ 8 ■. DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY First row. left to right: J. Dm lev. M.

ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY Alpha Delta represents Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority on Morgan’s campus where it perpetu ates the ideals on which the organization was founded, such as: leadership, service, loyalty, and unity. Alpha Kappa Alpha is honored by being the oldest and largest Negro sorority in the world. It has acquired international as well as national recognition. Since its inception in 1908 on Howard University’s campus A.K.A. has made many interracial attachments that have added such members as: Mrs. Eleanor R x scvelt. Madame Pandit and Dr. Alpenfels. The graduating sorors of Alpha Delta have pledged to carry with them into the world all of the line ideals and principles that the sorority has exemplified at Morgan. Since it received its charter in 1926, the chapter has bid farewell to many graduating sorors who have distinguished themselves in many fields. Each year Alpha Delta finds new inspiration in the standards set by her outgoing members. This year the sorors who are left behind will have much to do to keep pace with the contributions made by their grad- uating sisters, for their effort, hard work and originality have made them unforgettable on Morgan’s campus. The gavel for the past year was held by Ruth Davis with the following persons assisting her: Annie Crosby, Anti-Basileus; De Loris Wil- liams, Grammateus; Lovie Williams, Anti- Grammateus; Shirley Moody, Epistoleus; Dor- othy Sheppard, Tamiochus; Shirley Pinkett.

Scholarship, and Love for all Mankind are the aims of our . . . f raternity. 1 hus is established the foundation of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Embodied in one statement are three tenets which arc held foremost by Alphas everywhere, particularly, hv the Beta Alpha chapter here on Morgan's campus. 1952 is Beta Alpha's twenty-fifth anniversary year—25 years of service, persistence, and meri- torious endeavor. That this will stand true at the chapter’s golden anniversary is the desire of every brother. Every chapter of a fraternity should reflect the work of its national organization. In this progressing time and era the work of a fraternity does not rely wholly upon the individual chapter, hut upon the combined efforts of all the chapters. I lere lies the purpose of Beta Alpha: the pursuit of the three aforementioned ideals not only on a campus basis but with national scope. The past working year was launched in Beta Alpha by Robert 11. Carpenter, President; Louis L. Randall, Vice-President; Robert E. Knuckles and Clifton . Sands, Corresponding and Fitian cial Secretaries; David W. Briddcll. Treasurer; Raymond Gant, Chaplain; Rufus S. Abernathy. Parliamentarian; and Theron Banks, Sergeant-at- Arms; Orville Swafford, Dean of Pledgees. For 1952-53: Individual pursuit, but with co- operation with campus Greek-Ietter organizations for the advancement of good will and the Morgan spirit. 75 We cherish thy Precepts; Thy Fanner shall he raised to thy Cdory, thy Honor and Renou n. BETA SIGMA TAU FRATERNITY Beta Sigma Tau National Fraternity was founded May 2, 1948 at Roosevelt College. Chi- cago, 111., for the purpose of “establishing a fraternity not based on religious, racial, or social differences. This idea was conceived by a group of veteran students who fought side by side during World War II. and who saw a need lor such an organization. Adhering to the above principles, the Balti- more City Chapter of Beta Sigma Tau Fraternity was founded on February 24. 1949 at Levering I (all on the campus of the Johns Hopkins Uni versity, and was composed of students from Johns Hopkins. Loyola. Coppin, and Morgan. The original Baltimore City Chapter is composed of approximately seventy members, some of whom are pictured above. The officers of this chapter are: L. Antonio Mariano. President; L. Corbin. Vice-President; 11. Robinson, Corresponding Secretary; L. Bry ant. Historian and Recording Secretary; W. 11- Ross, III, Treasurer; E. Atkinson, Song Master: S.

OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY Pi Chapter is one of several hundred chapters of the great Brotherhood founded at Howard University in 1911—Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. This chapter was founded in 1923. on the Morgan campus. Since its birth it has made a worthwhile contribution to the wholesome de- velopment of the Morgan student. A yearly program of cultural and social activities is car- ried on by Pi Chapter in addition to its generous participation in the program of the school as a whole. Much attention is given by the chapter to the preservation of those reputable and sacred prin ciples upon which Omega Psi Phi was founded and has thrived down through the years. Man- hood, scholarship, perseverance, and uplift are the words not foreign to any of the seven teen- thousand Omega men throughout the country, who strive to find these principles in others. Omega Psi Phi Fraternity is an organization dedicated to service. Pi Chapter, then, as a link of the brotherhood, is also dedicated to service. All chapter efforts are directed toward the reali- zation of this purpose. Richard C. Watts is the current Basileus of Pi Chapter. I Ie is assisted by Melvin C. Fox. Other officers include: Hilbert D. Stanley, Keeper of Records and Seal; John Williams. Keeper of f inance; Clinton Maxfield. Chaplain; Tracv Walton, Keeper of Peace; 11. DeWavne Whittington.

In October, 1951, the Society conducted a Name Contest in order to select an appropriate name. From the many entries re- ceived the judges selected ‘1 he 1). O. W. I lolmcs Debating Society’’ as the w inning entrv. Later the Society entertained in honor of the President Emeritus. Dr. I). O. W. 1 lolmes, who expressed his gratification at having the debating society named after him. The winning entry in the Name Contest was submitted by Randolph Thompson, a Morgan Sophomore. I he prizes 81 for the Name Contest, totaling twenty dollars in all. were made possible through the contributions of Morgan faculty members and interested friends of the college. The I). O. W. Holmes Debating Society's plans for the future include: sponsoring inter class debates, presenting Morgan faculty mem bers and well known individuals from the Balti- more community to interested Morganites, and the continuing of varsity debates with outstand- ing colleges and universities. ■ Officers of the Commerce Club for the 1951 1952 school year are William Mumby, President; Velma Hudson, Secretary; DcLoris Williams and Wilbur Brown. Publicity Agents; and Kiah Carter, Public Relations. Zkc Commerce Club The Commerce Club of Morgan State College is sponsored by Professor Martin A. Coins. Its membership is composed of Economics, Business Administration, and Business Education students anti is presided over by William Mumby. The club has as its goal setting the pace in business promotion for college campuses all over the country. One means of doing this is through engaging in profit-making ventures, thus afford ing practical experience for its members. Another means is by bringing speakers to acquaint the students with the potentialities of business. They carried out their goals during the school year of 1951 1952. by sponsoring such speakers as Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune. founder of Bcthu nc-Cookman College; Dr. Frederic A. Jackson; Wendell P. Taylor; Franz B. Wolf, Office of Price Stabilization; E. J. Moran. CIO; and James A. Billboard Jackson. Esso Standard Oil. These people know business and, through their formal and informal talks, have attempted to promote better and bigger business wherever possible. Not business of an inferior nature, but business possessing service, quality and utilitx to all. It is the belief of the Commerce Club that in this way, and only in this way, can we become economically and socially secure. 82 Jio me Economics Club Scaled, left to right: B. Bicaise, T. Ford, N.

It began in November of 1951 by a group of Methodist students under the leadership of Professor Howard L. Cornish. Quickly becoming active, the organization chose its name, formulated and ratified a constitution and planned its program for the year. While the club is primarily for Methodists it is open to students of any denomi- nation who are interested in religious work. The Wcslcyans activities include conducting discus- sions, presenting various speakers and furnishing other types of program for the Sundav Evening Fellowship I lour. The organization endeavors to provide a Christian Association and a religious background for the college student. Picnics, parties and prayer groups are operated within the Club to produce a well-rounded fellowship for its members and to make the Wesley Club felt in the communit) as well as on the Morgan campus. The oflicers of the Club include George Outen, President; Betty I lolmes. Vice President; Shirley Miller, Secretary; Maxine Bethel, Treas- urer.

I lie lidward P. I lint Gymnasium, dedicated on Coach I lurt’s birthday, February 12. 1952. This building, a one-story stone structure, houses a main gym which has a seating capacity of 2200, a swimming pool, an auxiliary gvm, a spacious lounge, and several classrooms and offices. This year was one of history for the “Gym for on the night of its dedication the varsity basketball team played the Loyola Greyhounds of Baltimore, the first game of its type in the City of Baltimore. The “Gym was also the scene of the CIAA Invitational Basketball Tournament, marking the first time the tournament was ever held on a college campus. ■ From the dark, dismal halls of the initial one-building Morgan College site, at Fulton and Edmondson Avenues; through the hard, cold classrooms and across the ivy-covered Hillen Road and Arlington Avenue campus have trekked many athletic greats. 1 hey were confronted with the morbid, stag- nant confines of the “Dust Bowl,” the immortal ninety-nine stejw and a dire need of adequate facilities. Yet despite these obstacles, they have established themselves in the I lalls ol Fame and the record books of national and inter- national eminence. Now the dark halls and the cold, hard classrooms are no more. Instead, there is a brand new. million dollar gymnasium where numerous citations, trophies, and other symbols of acclaim are proudly displayed. Glitter and warmth (ills the atmosphere. And in keeping with the lines of our Alma Mater, Morgan’s athletes have brought their laurels, whatever they may be, and have laid them with joy at her feet. THE COACHING STAFF Left to right: Coaches K. Brown, I lurt. Hill and Brown. 86 Sports at Morgan The Morgan tradition of fine athletic teams has certainly been kept alive by the members of the Class of ’52. Our departure leaves vacant many positions on the football, track, boxing, and other inter collegiate team activities. The signal-calling of Fox, touchdown runs of Triplett, pass-catching of Moat, Byrd, Harris and Locust, and the defensive play of Banks shall be to us memories of those on the gridiron who produced a conference and national cham- pionship football team in 1949 and an undefeated team in 1950. John Edmonds was a member of the basket- ball squad for three years. Morgan and the entire track world will miss the fleet-footed speedsters such as George Rhoden, Lester Scott and Lancelot Thompson, who have won local, national, and international titles. Thomas 1 lasty, Irving Lindsay and Bert Whitehurst were the pugilists of the class. Charles Parsons and Johnny Williams were our representatives on the wrestling team. Parsons was successful in winning the CIAA Champion- ship. Our story would not lx1 complete without mentioning our “Dust Bowl” athletes and par ticipants in the intra mural program such as Alexander Peaker. “Dee” Whittington and others. Champions all. we salute them. 87 CHRISTINE JAMES 88 89 91 I Paris, France In September, 1948, the mere stunt of a fresh- man hazing program, introduced George Rhoden, the world’s fastest quarter miler. to the Morgan College campus. The prankful upper classmen conceived of a race which placed two other freshmen at intervals of thirty and fifty yards ahead of this great sprinter; and instructed him to overcome the handicap to win the race or face other consequences. Little did they know that two months prior to his entrance at Morgan that he was a semi-finalist in the 1948 Olympic Games. The event started, and with little diffi cultv and great speed, he passed the other in- experienced runners to win by a wide margin. The startled upperclassmen were slightly embar- rassed at their prank, for they realized that a great track star had emerged upon the scene. Since then, George Rhoden has sparked the Morgan College track team to national and inter national fame. Individually, he has made three world tours with famous track stars and estab- lished local, national, and international records. I le anchored the famous college mile-relay teams which has won many national titles. Rhoden will compete in the 1952 Olympics at I lelsinki. Finland, as a representative for his native country, Jamaica, British West Indies. This time he hopes to be victorious in the Olym- pic games, as well as establish a new world record for the 440 yard dash in future competition. Fhc Promethean Staff wishes him success and lx‘st of luck in his future endeavors. George Rhoden's Record C.I.A.A. Champion and record-holder 440 yards. South Atlantic A.A.U.
