Twenty-one HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS TI e have not wings, we cannot soar j lit slow degrees , by more and more, But we have feet to scale and climb The cloudy summits of the time ” Longfellow. Here we are ready to begin a long and tiresome journey to an institution of higher learning where we shall undergo several changes: Stage I — Ignorance September 1933 found us a group of one hundred or more boys and girls on our journey to a land of higher education. The journey ended at Shaw University where we found a campus as lovely and as green as we. As we landed from our barge and looked about us we wondered if all our desires would be fulfilled. We pledged then and there “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” We were green we admit, but we did not let this hamper us or thwart our aim for under the vigilance of Mr. E. J. Quick whom we elected as our president and Mr. J. F. Price as our adviser we steadily climbed to the stage of wisdom. During this first stage of development we exemplified many talents in various fields: basketball, football, debating, and the choir. Many important events occurred in this stage also: Richard 15. Harrison “De Lawd” visited the University at the close of the year, and many of us traveled over the eastern and western parts of the state. Memorable are those experiences. We were represented on the debating team by Messrs. Bobby Dunn, Floy Holley, and Elijah Wells. Ours was the loss, but we took it sportsmanly as we knew what was being accomplished in other activities. Miss Sadie’ Stanley was elected Miss Y.W.C.A. The end of the first year found a few of us on the University Honor Roll. Misses F. Creecy, M. Carr, and M. Foster made a hit on the basketball team; Messrs. S. Gilliam, J. Kibler, and W. Walden did likewise on the football team. We are realizing our desires. Spring found us a happy energetic group, proud of our achievements, strolling around, en- joying the beauties of nature. We are now wise. June is here all too soon, for we hate to leave our happy home. Stage II — Wisdom All right wise birds, what are you going to do now? Watch us and see. We are smaller in num- ber but not in will. Well it is good to be wise. We decided this year to work diligently and watch the results, but first of all we had to make sure that the freshmen drank from the same cup as we but more abundantly. Assisted by Mr. J. F. Price we settled down in a few weeks with the competent Mr. Bobby Dunn as our leader. In the field of debating Messrs. J. Dixon, Kermit White, and Miss Laura White represented us; again we lost but we did not worry. This year Miss Evelyn Boone was crowned “Miss Shaw,” Miss Cooley became soprano soloist, Miss Creecy basketball star, supported by Misses Carr and Foster. Misses Creecy and Carr also made a striking entrance in drama. We will see our desires fulfilled! The brink of the stage of honor is at our feet; we must continue to climb. Stage III — Honor and Confidence “Let man know his worth and keep things under his feet.” This has been our slogan. The age of honor and self-reliance has engulfed us. This year we chose Mr. Wm. Jones for our president and Mr. Price our adviser for the third time. His steady hand guided us through rough places and rugged roads. Our talents were displayed more fully. We had to do our best. We were happy to have two members of our class to be given membership to the Alpha Omicron Honor Society These members were Mrs. Undean Jones and Miss Izola Reynolds. In the student government Mr J ' Dixon and Mr. Win. Jones represented us. Mr. Floyd Holley served as editor of the University Journal Many of us toured the state of South Carolina with the choir. The annual Junior-Senior Prom was given in the City Auditorium. This affair ended the third year and we found ourselves at the door of dignity. Stage IV — Dignity We passed successfully through the first three years with laurels and now we are in the stage of authority, still keeping things under our feet. This year Mr. Osceola Moore our president and Mr. Price our adviser were chosen to lead us to the end. Mr. Dixon and Miss Cooley became heads of the Student Body, and Miss White became Secre- tary. Miss Scarborough and Mr. Moore represented us on the Student Council. Our prestige was also extended over the Y.M. and Y.W.C.A.’s, the leaders being Mr. Paul Johnson and Miss Genive Foushee. In February and March Messrs. William Jones, Kermit White, Tessie Thomas, Misses Elizabeth Cooley, Queen Palmer, Lucy Saunders, and Mrs. Undean Jones made a successful entrance in the realm of play production. These members were the cast for “The Ninth Guest” and “The Patsy.” Mr. Floyd Holley again served as editor of the University Journal. For three successive years Mrs. Jones has won the $32.50 prize for having the highest scholastic record in the class. Misses Cooley and Foushee also won prizes. Quite a number of us were on the honor roll at the end of this time. Misses Izola Reynolds, Queen Palmer, and Mrs. Undean Jones made the honor roll for seven consecutive semesters. Others of us were fortunate enough to gain membership to Alpha Omicron Honor Society, namely, Misses Wilmoth Carter, Elizabeth Cooley, Ruth Bass, Geraldine Cabiness, Queen Palmer, and Mr. Floyd Holley. We had the experience of seeing several changes at the University. It was a pleasure to see the University enter into the N.I.D.A.; improvements were made in the buildings and most im- portant of all, the change in the administration; new president, new dean of women, new faculty members. Many and long have been our meetings to thrash out the plans tor our closing activities. After toiling and sweating for a long time we were refreshed by a Prom given by the Juniors. It is well to be a host but better to be the guest. Graduation is at hand hut it does not, we hope, mean the end of things, for we have higher aspirations. , Queen Esther Palmer.

Twenty-three SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One beautiful afternoon as I was sitting alone in my apartment in Baltimore, Maryland, I received the greatest surprise of my life, when the door bell rang and in stepped my former classmate, Susie Arrington. Susie informed me that she was on her way to see her husband, Claude Smith, who was one of the leading lawyers in Philadelphia. I opened my memory book, in order to show it to Susie, and we discussed the members of tire class of 1937 individually. After Susie told me that Eula Alston was married to a congressman from Detroit, X suggested that since I had always been a great talker that she let me tell her all that i had heard about our classmates. Thus I began: Ruth Bass received her Ph.D. in French last winter. Siie and her husband, Moses Newsome, are residing in Chicago. Dorothy Bellamy is married to Samuel Gilliam, principal of the Booker T. Washington High School at Rocky Mount, N. C. Anne Bowers heads the French Department at the University of Michigan. Esther Brett is married to William .Tones, who is the most outstanding politician in Geneva. Ophelia Briggs received her Master’s Degree in chemistry last summer. Kermit White is the most outstanding physician in Philadelphia. Geraldine Cabiness is married to Benjamin Neal, while Marion Jordan has finally gained Alexander Smith, and Queen Palmer, William Brown. Mary F. Carr is the coach ' of the girls’ basketball team at Statesville, N. C., and is assisted by Charles Chalmers. Selena Carter is married to Pete Williams, II, and lives in Philadelphia. Wilmoth Carter is the wife of “Baby” E. J. Quick. They are both in Europe visiting Johnnie Larkins, who is a prominent actor. Marie Cooke, the dietitian at Howard University, is happily married to James Knight. Elizabeth Cooley now lias her Ph.D. in Psychology and has recently married James Galley. II. Frazier Creecy has turned professional and is coaching Women’s basketball at Shaw merely as a pastime. Dollie Daniels heads the French Department at Shaw University and resides there with her husband, Frank Dalton. Catherine Edgerton is married to Theodore I.ittle, John Dixon to Ophelia Durham, and Anna Scarborough to John Slade. Beatrice Joyner is married to Floyd Holley, the editor of the New York Times, while her pal, Ocelia Ragland is married to George Hyman, a national officer in the Y.M.C.A. Edna Fairley, Maude Foster, Katie Gray, Marguerite Hines, Jennie Davis, Jessica Holley, and Rosalia Jolley are playing on Broadway in the “Big Seven” play production. I, aura White is now Raleigh’s greatest typist. Undean Jones is still teaching at her home, Cofield, N. C. Essie Mizelle says that her husband, Booker T. Maides, is the greatest electrician in the state of North Carolina. Frances Owens is Dean of Women at Shaw University, and Genive Foushee is Secretary to the registrar at Shaw. Lillie Price is the head nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore, Maryland. Izola Reynolds is associate professor of Education at Ohio State. Theodore Shell is grand Basileus of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. William Lawrence received his Ph.D. in history last winter. Betsy Perry and Ruth Thompson are married to senators from Chicago and New York respectively. Marjorie Sills is secretary to the President of Shaw University. Reece Sinclair has been elected mayor of Raleigh. Osceola Moore will compete for world championship in tennis next week. Isaiah Taylor, along with his wife Fredericka Young, is doing splendid work in the social field. William Thomas, Cifton Faison, James Freeman, Otho Sherrill, and Sidney Williams are outstanding members of the House of Representatives. Charles Cooper, since leaving college, has been traveling in Africa and India and owns many large industrial plants in the leading industrial cities of America. Susie didn’t inform me that she had intended spending only two hours at my apartment, hence the time passed so swiftly that she missed her train and had to spend the night with me. Until this time I had done all the talking, it was her time now. Claha Cooke, Lillie Piuce, Prophets. Twenty-four SHAW UNIVERSITY JOURNAL CLASS FORM Today, a day of shadows emblazoned by the sun of memory, And stilled by the placid voice of duty, Calls us from these scenes of concrete theory Beyond the portals of life’s enriching beauty. Ere we approach the eve that leads unto yon vista dawning, Our souls, perturbed by the profound recess of grief, Inscribed indellible appreciation upon memory’s mooning, As effulgently resilient with love we hail our Alma Mater chief. Dear Shaw, the cherished school of our unfaltering trust, Majestically standing ’mid monumental scenes of grandeur, Imbue us with glorious truth — you inevitably must — While departing ' we take you as our guiding star and lure. Shaw, Sh aw, ’though praise and adoration of the mystic moon Resound within realms resplendent with suspended hopes, Never can we hallow thy name with sufficient adorn To perpetuate thru the expanse of years thy never dying notes. May all our walks in humanity’s train of fame Direct us forever, dear Shaw, to the standards set by you. May our lips never cease to proclaim the same, ’Till time has imprinted “Shaw” upon living skies of blue. Farewell to thee, dear Shaw, farewell, hut not goodbye; How sweet the memory still as we do now depart; How dear the grasses, the grounds, and buildings high, (), Immortal Spot, may loyalty never from thy banners part. Wit.mottt C im:n. CLASS SONG (Tune of il ty Tank) For years we dreamed of higher education, To Shaw we came for that matriculation; We were as green as freshmen always are And thought of home and friends, And thought of home and friends The whole year through. Our upperclassmen years were grand and bright; We never lost the beacon of the light; We mastered every course by work and prayer! And gave our best in all, And gave our best in all To dear old Shaw. We trust that we have met yonr expectation, And now that we are near our graduation— We pledge to remember you so fondly, And always give our aid, And always give our aid To thee Dear Shaw. A. I,.

Twenty-seven SHAW UNIVERSITY JOURNAL THE PERFECT MATES OF THE SENIOR CLASS In the making of a woman for the senior class we must take in consideration the state- ments of Holmes and Lessing: “Nature is in earnest when she makes a woman” and Nature intended that woman should be her masterpiece.” We are now earnestly making a masterpiece. The perfect woman will have the height of Dorothy Bellamy, physique of Maude Foster, legs of Undean Jones, feet of Marie Cook, and hands of Mary Williford. She will have eyes’ like Betsy Perry, nose like Esther Brett, lips like Izola Reynolds, teeth like Marion Jordan, hair like Ruth Bass, complexion like Selena Carter, and carriage like Anna Scarborough! Her voice will he that of Marguerite Hines and she will smile like Florence Rice. We will find many qualities in our perfect woman. She will be interesting like Genive Foushee and converse like Anne Bowers. Her sense of humor will he that of Clara Cook. She will possess the amiability of Dollie Daniels and the cleverness of Laura White. Her discretion will equal that of Ruth Thompson, her earnestness that of Eula Alston, her constancy that of Catherine Edgerton, and her hospitality that of Beatrice Joyner. She will economize like Naomi Leach, have self-control like O’celia Ragland, be thorough like Jessica Holley, sympathetic like Lillie Price, and patient like Nettie Carr. These qualities alone will not complete our masterpiece, however, for in addition tiie perfect woman ' s oratorical ability will equal that of Wilmoth Carter, her ability to play a piano that of Anna Iiodge, her athletic ability that of Bessie F. Creecy, and her singing ability that of Geraldine Cabiness. She will be kind like I.aSenia McCrimmon, and have Christian- like ideas like Fredericka Young. Her appreciation of beauty will equal that of Essie Mizelle, her dramatic ability that of Elizabeth Cooley, her ideals those of Anne Robinson, her ambitions those of Susie Arrington, and her business ability that of Frances Owens. She wll be competent like Margie Sills, brave like Mary F. Carr, tactful like Ophelia Briggs, trustworthy like Edna Fairley, neat like Clementine Holden, and friendly like Queen Palmer. Finally, she will be well-dressed like Jennie Davis, graceful like Rosalie Jolley, witty like Willie M. Hardy, and sophisticated like Katie Gray. Behold ... we now have the perfect woman. Let us not stop until we have created a mate for tiie perfect woman, one who fulfills all the qualities of manhood. This ideal man will have the height of Willie Lawrence, the physique of Charles Cooper, be handsome like Kermit White, and well-groomed like James Galley. His athletic ability will equal that of John Edwards, his ambition that of Albert Fryar, his business ability that of Floyd Holley, and his versatility that of John Slade. He shall be witty like Claude Smith, self-controlled like Isaiah Taylor, brave like George Hyman, punctual like William Murphy, trustworthy like William Westbrooks, and clever like Theodore Shell. His courteousness and manliness shall equal that of Osceola Moore, his scholarship that of William Jones, his self-assurance that of Reese Sinclair, his loyalty and sincerity that of Paul Johnson. The perfect man will be friendly like Frank Dalton, inventive like Booker Maides, an actor like William T. Thomas, individualistic like Johnnie Larkins, enthusiastic like John Dixon, musical like Elias Quick, patient like Benjamin Neal, chival- rous like Clifton Faison, practical and economical like Sidney Williams, faithful like Jasper Freeman, and a good sport like Charles Chalmers. “As there is in nature, so there is in art, a point of perfection. He who discovers it, and is touched with it, has a good taste: he who is not sensible of it, but loves what is below or above that point, understands neither art nor nature.” Perfection ... we have sought perfection in the discovery of our ideal perfect senior mates. “Ideals we do not make. We discover, not invent them.” Ciiari.es Charmers, Class of ’37. Twen ty-eiglit SHAW UNIVERSITY JOURNAL JUNIOR CLASS Robert Garret 15. A.
