das, and plaster falling from the Phi Nu ceil- ing. At the Freshman Reception at Smith Hall, the new initiates were made painfully aware o-f their lowly state by the upperclass- men, the seniors made a dash for the punch tables, followed by starving sophomores and jeering juniors .... Well, the Frosh did have the unmolested pleasure of meeting the faculty. Freshmen rapidly fell in love with Dr. Dawson and studied the Bible with diligence. Dr. Bohannon's Psych was remarkably well at- tended, and his hypnotic demonstrations were a fascinating show to every student present. He hypnotized such notables as Lillian Albright, Margaret Lindon, and Sara Cofield, one or more of whom are probably still in a trance. Following the example of those who had gone before them, they were most cooperative in all school functions. So much so that Stunt Night was called off for the first time in his- tory, because of lack of interest. The political pot began to boil and the bal- lots were sticky with candy and dirty with campaign politics. Harrell Vance and Morgan Peoples were elected Editor and Business Man- ager of th-e Bull Pup by the simple expedient of threatening dire disaster to all dissenters. Sophomores at last, members of the Class of 1941 were rather proud of themselves when in September they returned to the campus and were among the first to be asked to sign a petition to remove the expensive, expansive, exposive arch. This was followed shortly by a civil war, fer and agin the Administration. No good came of it, but the students did get two hilarious cuts on account of it. The an- nual Howard-Southern Parade came and went, but left the Sophs undiscouraged: After all, Howard won the year before. Eddie Welch was the cutest thing you ever saw initiated into the H Club. Also acclaimed in chapel were Cooter Watkins, Charlie Doug- las, Jack Moore, Gordon Golson, Kenny Mor- gan, and Sam Goldman. The political clique formed again and Jack Beveritt was sworn in as treasurer, and Harry Tecl talked his way into the vice presidency. All were ill from campaign candy and lemonade, but were cured by final exams. Came graduation again, and the news that Major Davis would be the President of the College the next year and thence on, and they met him and liked him tremendously. The next fall a wiser and less sophisticated group of juniors gathered to hear Major Davis' opening address. liddie Welch was president of the class, jappie Bryant President of the Womcn's Student Government, and Wyatt Pope, who by this time was at last a senior, was President of the Student Body. Christmas came, followed by a beeg snow when all were released from school because it was too wet and nasty to try to get to the campus. Students spent the weekend playing in the wet, unhealthy snow and had a gleeful time. People such as Lorene Alsbrooks are to be commended for wading in it to school the first day. The snow melted, the earth warmed, small flowers burst into bloom on the front campus. May Day came, dreary and cloudy. However, no rain fell and Hypatia, pure and white, pinned the longed-for gold corsages on Martha Merck, Jane Purser Brown, Mary Frances Vaughn, Abilane Knight, Sara Ruth Young, jane Doran, and Sara Cofield, all of whom cried copiously. Trident, highest men's honor society, tapped john Latham, Robert Arm- strong, Charles Loveless, Stewart Winton, and Sam Granade before a loudly cheering throng in chapel. Seniors at last, the members of the class were more sober, less inclined to frolic, very attentive to their work and confronting under- classmen with a thoughtful look. The year opened as usual with some more Phi Mu plas- ter falling, and the arch being conspiciously missing. Christmas came again and the Glee Club sang carols in cozy chapel. Collection was taken up for Beatriceis Christmas package, and Dr. Chapman bought a new car with which he ran over a cow. Sam Brown announced that he got married Thanksgiving and so joined the ranks of the many ministers who were married. Co-eds were becoming afraid to flirt with a minis- terial student for fear of learning that he was married. Ulman Moss was still single at the time of this writing, but Jack Akin was al- most gone. Marion Cowden has already taken the fatal step, and Mary Emily Wishart and Helen Roberts will do so shortly .... This class history could easily be made into several large volumes. lt could dwell for a long time upon personalities such as Helen Sharbutt, pretty but uneffected-the student body and certain junior are going to miss her terribly, especially the juniorg john Black- shear, surrealist artist, and leader in the revo- lution of Renfroe Hall .... Kenny f Cord- wood j Morgan, captain of the football team and outstanding athletes in all sports. As this Senior Class prepares to pass out through the portals of old Howard College, the closing words of a great pioneer indus- trialist, speaking for a passing generation, comes back to a none-too-thoughtful group of boys and girls: We, who are about to die, salute you .... They, who are about to live, salute those who have done so much to shape their college careers. l23l
