D r fVS rl MAMIE MELL SMITH HALL I7 v 1928 by A. D. of his N f L FAMILI!-XR Probably the most legendary landmark of our campus is the sturdy Sherman Oak, many love affairs having sprung up and ripened under the shady branches of this beloved tree. It has witnessed countless meetings, friendly chats, and has been found to be an excellent resting place between the car line and Main building. Some stu- dents like its cool shade to study and concentrate fsome thoughtful freshman class furnished stone benchesl, while other students scientifically inclined seek the fresh air under its branches for respiration from the gases and odors of a busy science laboratory. The Science Hall has undergone a complete change from a lovely old colonial building to a modern red brick veneered structure. The interior has been renovated and much new equipment installed. Several new departments have been added, among which are the Cats' Infirmary and a Playground for Crippled Amoe- bas. Next, we point with pride to our most beautiful building-and why not? It houses our fair co-eds. Mamie Mell Smith Hall is also of red brick and located on Underwood Avenue, phone 9-2505. This dormitory will accommodate sixty-five girls. It is divided into eight suites comfortably furnished, each composed of a liv- ing room, four bed-rooms and two baths. Each suite is so arranged as to make an ideal place for studying, and to promote a cheerful, home-like atmosphere for each group of girls. The large reception room, where many of the college recep- tions and teas are given, is one of the most beautiful in the city. The general at- mosphere of the dormitory is home-like and satisfying, being convenient to Renfroe, the campus and the church, which is across the street. A PAGE I8 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
