r nfl' Veil 1 W ... IIGOP A PAGE I6 V EVENTS YEAR THEOPHILUS R. EAGLES Prof. Eagles, vice-president and treas- urer of the College, is one of the most beloved professors to be found in any college. Always sympathetic in the role of treasurer, helpful as a profes- sor, and wise as an administrator, he occupies a huge space in the life of each and every student.

A I l ' I E DEAN PERCY P. BURNS THE LEADERS friendly chats with the students, to lend a winning smile and willing hand to each and discuss all student issues. Because we believe in him, appreciate his willingness and helpfulness, his whole-hearted interest in Howard's welfare and that of every student, we want to express to him our gratitude and love. Howard is especially fortunate in having a man like Percy Pratt Burns as its Dean. Having been at Howard in the capacity of student, professor, then dean, the history and progress of the College is closely related to the achievements of Dean Burns. Since his student days he has won a host of admirers and friends among the students. Always ready to hear and understand the problems of the stu- dents, never too busy to untangle some trying situation, a word from Dean Burns and the clouds disappear, one word of praise from him, and-well, it's a happy world after all. No person has quite the vocabulary to compare with that of Dean Burns, and many students will tell you that an informal tall: from Dean Burns at the chapel period always makes the rest of the day a little easier. He talks in an easy man- ner and always with a ready wit. Every student admires him, for no man more de- serves the well-termed praise, To lcnow him is to love him, than Dean Burns. A PAGE I5 V

LOUIS W. LOHR It might be said that Prof. Lohr hears more excuses and alibis than any other professor, by reason of chapel attend- ance. His field as instructor is Business Administration, but to the students he is a friend and advisor, and most of them will emphasize that he is a Smart Man. CDF THE One of the most interesting events of last summer, and the initial move of Dr. Neal, was the Howard College Good Will Tours. These tours covered every point of Alabama, the purpose of which was to let the people of the State know about the College. Each professor took four or five students with a territory of five to ten towns to tour. At each town they made contacts with prospective stu- dents and friends and told them about the College and its program. At each town they were welcomed and entertained. Not only did the State learn about the College, but the students learned about the State. Another outstanding event of the school year, and a prelude to the Battle of the Marne, was the Howard- Southern parade. Many new features and stunts were used, and in the above scene are seen the unfortunates who bet on Southern. Of course, history will promptly tell you that Howard dropped the past game, one of the very few since Howard began her athletic relationship with her neighboring rival. A PAGE I7 V
