Hadn’t we entered the University 201 strong in September, bring- ing honor students, outstanding athletes, actors, songbirds, etc., from states as far north as Massachusetts, as far south as Florida, and as far west as Arkansas? Since we were to excel all others in our endeavors, we resented the restriction of our vote. And seeing within us the potential contributors to the great Shaw name, those who were here before us agreed to grant us full voting rights as a functioning organiza- tion at our school. With Walter Moore as our president and Professor Houser Miller as our faculty adviser, in this fashion we began auspiciously constructing our road to success. Im- mediately after our period of orientation, we found ourselves represented in the University Choral Society, the Hayes-Fleming Volunteer Society, the Y. W. C. A., the Y. M. C. A., and other active organizations on the campus. Fourteen of our stalwart males joined the football team which began that very fall its record-breaking climb up the C. I. A. A. ladder. Ira Cromwell, J. Wilson Fleming, Claude Govan, Hollis Creecy, Walter Moore, Charles Howard, and John Marable became outstanding this first season. Our own Paul “Jeep” Perkins was offi- cial “waterboy” for the team. At the end of the first semester the Honor Roll showed that of the fifty-five honor students at the University, twenty-five were freshmen. Our second semester contributions began with the victory at the annual Freshman- Sophomore debate. We were represented by Ethel Patterson, Leroy McLaurin and Grainger Browning, who later became members of Tan Sigma Rho Debating Society. Johnny Christian, Hollis Creecy, Randolph Brock, Vincent Tibbs, John Marable, George Marshall, and Charles Howard added brain and brawn to our men’s basketball squad which, at this time began giving C. I. A. A. teams serious competition. Shaw’s co-championship with Bennett College became a realization after our class provided Marion Brame, Willie Freeman, Marguerite Carson, Mildred Moore, and Mary Har- grove for the women’s basketball squad. A number of our classmates joined the ranks of the Shaw Players. Along with several others. Claudia Hardy received praise and .recognition for her representation of the leading lady in A. Clifton Lamb ' s “She .DyetUfor a Prince.” As June drew near our spirits became dampened. Not alone because we were soon to leave for a few months the institution we had learned to love, but also because we knew that school closing meant the loss of President William S. Nelson and Dean Hilda A. Davis, who had grown dear and surprisingly near to us. We began our second year at Shaw as wise and competent sophomores under the advisership of Professor Lorenzo Addison. Greatly pleased and enthusiastic about our new President Robert P. Daniel and Dean Mary L. Turner, we sought higher levels of endeavor. We at once succeeded in fulfilling the positions open to us; we became dominant forces in organizations like Le Cercle Francais, the Sociology Club, and other departmental clubs from which we as freshmen had been barred. Arthur Lewis and John Marable became president and treasurer, respectively, of Le Cercle Francais. Our representatives in these groups increased despite our decrease in initial enrollment. We continued to excel in football, basketball, dramatics, music, etc. By this time our football players had developed the “animal kingdom” which was destined to startle C. I. A. A. members. The first team syndicate included “Ram” Govan, “Shag” Creecy, “Hog” Fleming, and “Poney” Marable. In the spring, seven of the fourteen athletes out for track were sophomores; two of the four varsity tennis players were sophomores. In its search for creative talent the University Journal staff acknowledged the worth of and published the poems of Lena Graves, who constantly poured forth her heart and soul in blank and rimed verse. We began our junior year with Vincent Tibbs as president. This year of honor and confidence found us astute leaders of a now progressive student body. We held the Page Twenty-One The Shaw University Journal Senior Class History � � � ( Cont inued) following official positions: William Raines (later elected president of the student body), president of the local branch of the N.

For four years we have been living in an atmosphere which has been conducive to our aspirations. We have lived in an atmosphere of helpfulness and of love. We have been reminded that we were in the process of becoming, and that our success in the world would depend upon the manner in which we reacted to the learning process. The wisdom which has been accumulated over a period of years by our esteemed faculty has been trans- mitted to us. We have been stimulated, encouraged, and enlightened in this social group that we have delighted to call the Shaw Family. We are now ready to go out into the world, and let us hope, attain success. But alas, what a chaotic world we face as we leave the college walls. It is not exactly what I would call a Utopia. It is a world that was not made by students, yet, we must find or make our way in it. We need scarcely go out of the bounds of Shaw University to discover that we are leaving the protected life of students in the most crucial period of our industrial history. It is not necessary to go out of the State of North Carolina to see unusual conditions of poverty and suffering. For ex- ample, we need only to look at the uncertain tenancy of the numerous farmers and agricultural workers in the State; or the plight of the wage earner who works hard to find that his labor has earned for him a bare subsistence. Not only do we face economic instability in our State, but we, as Negroes, are always living within the shadow of race prejudice. It is my belief, and I believe the conviction of most intelligent observers, that race prejudice, instead of being based on innate instinct, is an acquired social attitude. Therefore, until the masses of people are educated out of this negative social attitude, there can he no complete cooperative contact between the two races. We will most certainly face grave racial injustice in the world into which we go. To illustrate the type of discrimination which we must face, may I use an example from the profession into which most of us will go — teaching. According to the find- inds of Dr. Nelson IT. Harris of our faculty, the North Carolina salary for a white teacher who has had no teaching experience is equal to the maximum salary for Negro teachers. Shifting our view from North Carolina to focus on the country as a whole, we see widespread unsettlement and insecurity. For ten years now, we have been laboring under the effects of a depression for which we were in every way completely unpre- pared. What was much worse, as a result of post-war prosperity, we had come to believe that we could never again have hard times. And then in 1929, even before the October crash, the wheels of industry began to slow down. Unemployment be- came, after 1929, the most serious problem this country had to solve. The provision of food and shelter for these millions of unemployed has placed a tremendous burden on our government. Since 1932, when Federal aid was first given, the national government has made exceedingly large appi opi iations annually for relief measures. In spite of governmental procedures, and the apparent upward trend in business since 1936, there are still more than nine million people out of work in this country. And of the people at work, one out of every four or five is working only part time. We are beginning to realize that however prosperous we may become, unemploy- ment will be with us for a long time; that it is part of the present system of produc- tion, and not to be cured while that system is in effect — though it may, of course be temporarily suspended in case of another war. We must resign ourselves to permanent unemployment for millions until we make fundamental changes in our economic and social system. This means, of course, that we must develop a govern- ment program to care for the men and women who cannot find jobs in industry, and it is doubtful that even such a program can take care of all of the unemployed. To further complicate the national scene, the election of 19 40 looms ominously in the background. The period preceding an election is one of uncertainty; no one knows what to expect, and so everyone waits. The result will be an even greater increase in unemployment during the next year and a half. Business enterprises, not knowing the policies of the incoming administration will refuse to invest large sums; Page Twenty-Three The Shaw University j n it r m t. 7 ' H Ivy Oration � � � ( Continued) consequently, with less money in circulation drop to an even lower level.

She will have a complexion like Mildred Luton’s, carriage like Mildred Moore’s, voice like Marion Toole’s, and smile like Rebecca McLean’s. Our perfect woman will possess many qualities. She will be brave like Grace Owens, competent like Ophelia Durham, a business woman like Elizabeth Inman, Jl and ambitious like Ella Lewis. She will possess the dramatic ability of Beulah Wil- liams, the Christian ideals of Eliza Henderson, the appreciation of beauty of Louise Spearman, and the kindness of Pauline Williams. She will have the athletic ability of Marion Brame, play a piano like Marcellette Campbell, sing like Virginia Glenn, and possess the oratorical ability of Vina Phillips. She will be interesting like Mary Carnage, converse like Mabel Weaver, be amicable like Grace Swinney, and clever like Marion Toole. She will use discretion like Helen Mitchell, be earnest like Etta Sessoms, constant like Mamie Batchelor, and hospitable like Dorothy Mallette. Her ability to economize will be like that of Willie Freeman. She will have self-control like Mildred Luton, be thorough like Eleanor Greene, and sympathetic like Lena Graves. She will be tactful like Mildred Wall, ' have high ideals l i ke Claudia Hardy, be trust- worthy like Eloise Pierce, neat like Primrose Barnwell, friendly like Eloise Pierce, well-dressed like Marguerite Rogers, sedate like Alice Williams, graceful like Mary Hargrove, witty like Pauline Williams, and sophisticated like Marguerite Carson. Behold now, we have a perfect woman! This perfect woman must have an ideal perfect mate. In our senior class we have individuals with characteristics which will contribute toward the formation of a per- fect masculine specimen. Marguerite Rogers’ selection will have hair like Charles Pickett, height like George Marshall’s, and physique like Casper Hill’s. He will be as neat as Charles James, as handsome as Frank Evans, and as well groomed as Benjamin Neal. His athletic ability will be like Hollis Creecy’s, his ambition will be like Spencer Dur- ante’s, his business-like ability will be like John Christian’s, and his versatility like Vincent Tibbs. Other qualities of the perfect man will be the wit of John Fleming, the self-control of Coleman Shanks, the bravery of George Gant, the punctuality of Frank Matthewson, the studiousness of William Bunch, and the cleverness of Casper Hill. His oratorical ability like Grainger Browning’s, his artistic ability like John Eisbey’s, his self-assurance like Randolph Brock’s, his loyalty and sincerity like John Marable’s, and his friendliness like Leon Frazier’s. He will also be an inventor like Coleman Shanks, an actor like Leroy McLaurin, an individualist like Frank Evans, an enthusiast like Robert Robinson, and a musician like Herman Forbes. He will be patient like Joseph White, chivalrous like Frank Matthewson, economical like Spencer Durante, practical like McCoy Barnes, faithful like Brooks Lovette, courteous like Melrose Nimmo, and a good sport like Claude Govan. Thus, we have created nature’s masterpiece of perfect mates from the ideal quali- ties of members of the Senior Class of 1939. Marguerite S.

It is about time for us to bid you bon voyage and begin to fill the places left vacant by you. You have worked four years (some more and some less) for this honor and now probably you are sorry to leave us. Before we part we wish to correct a statement that has been made relative to the fact that the class of ’39 brought and is taking with it all the talent. We wish to state that the class of ’40 is also in the news. We are truly sorry to see you go but don’t worry about us, for “we get along without you very well.” Page Thirty The Shaw University Journal « « « Sophomore Class President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Business Manager.

Since we are bound by the cooperative attitude that is always present between sophomores and seniors we wish to say that we are proud of the fact and we shall let the criterion which you have established be our goal. We feel that your place in the world is already made, because nothing can keep anyone down that exhibited the courageous spirit that you have exhibited. We now can only salute you and urge you on for “we are on our way, feeling light and gay.” — Sophomore Class.
