Adams, a member of the Fresh man Class, was awarded a prize of $10.00 for an essay, “Christ and World Fellow ship'’. The award was established by Mrs. Ann Joy Van Loan, of Babylon, N. Y., in honor of her husband. The Zelah Joy Van Loan award is administered by the Commission on International Justice and Goodwill of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. As evidence of the interest young people are taking in Christianity and its rela tion to world fellowship, the Zelah Joy Van Loan award reports that forty other young people received prizes. Does the Christian religion play a part in the establishment of world peace? This organization is trying to find evi dences of a keen appreciation of the part the Christian religion will play in bring ing about world peace. This project is vital and should be of interest to all. History of the Class of 1931 Mary Dr Bose, ’31 Time, moving with swift wings, brings the Sphinx Class of 1931 to the end of its circuit. Fifty-four students began the first arc of this circuit in the fall of 1927 as col lege freshmen—open-eyed, filled with won der and ambition, fresh and green, but ready to take hold and join the ranks of Spelman students. To acquaint us with college life, our courses and the campus, Freshman Week was provided, with its lectures, campus tours, and socials. We were greeted by our new President, Miss Read, who began her work at Spelman when we did, and who inspired us to co operate with her as we began our new work together. Although the teachers were cordial and students friendly, we were constantly re minded of our status—Freshmen. In the halls were hung green banners which bore “Welcome, Fresh ies”, “Crabs”. Even in the dining hall we held places of dis tinction, designated by green paper tied on our chairs. During this first are of our circuit Ave settled down to school work, many entering heartily into some of the campus activi ties. Much of our freshman life was care fully guided by Mrs. Reddick, the Fresh man House Mother for that year, Avho pa tiently bore with our green ideas, and thoughtless acts, trying with love to win us and to direct our ambitions in proper ways. The college offered many sources of entertainment and inspiration through musicals, dramatics, lectures, and socials. We began the second arc of our circuit with a decrease in our original number because some pursued their education in other schools; Ave Avere joined by Mamie Cabaniss. Several of our number served as officers and many took part in the various campus actixTties. This year Ave Avere older and more settled, and Ave Avere hailed as gay young Sophomores. Since a monthly issue of the school paper Avas deA'oted to each class, that year Ave, the Sophomores, issued the February number, in which appeared articles Avritten by our members, including an explanation of our class emblem, the Sphinx, by Katie Walker. Upon our request, xve Avere per mitted to have a representative in the Interracial Forum. Towards the close of the year, from returns of the campus elec tion, Ave noted that se\ T eral of our number Avere chosen to fill prominent offices in the campus activities for the next year. As Juniors, avc returned to begin the third arc of our circuit. Our original num ber Avas still decreased, but it remained the same as that of the second year because of the return of Fannie Miller and Beulah Cloud, who were former students, and the arrival of Abigail Kyzer, a new student who joined us. This year members of ’31 held such offices as President of the Y. W. C. A., Assistant Editor-in-Chief of The ( ainpus Mirror, and offices in other cam pus activities. The fall of 1930 brought many changes as a result of the affiliation of the three institutions, Atlanta University, More house College, and Spelman College, which added fourteen seniors to our class, whom we greeted wholeheartedly and who entered with full zest into our activities. We be gan on the fourth arc of our circuit with a burning zeal to get all that there was for us and to give our best selves this last year. Just as we were beginning our classwork we were shocked one morning to hear of the death of our beloved classmate, Katie Maud Walker. Katie Avas loved by all who knew her; she created a pleasant atmos phere Avherever she went and was active in campus activities, serving as Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., Secretary-Treasurer of Sunday School, Vice-President of the Sophomore Class, always maintaining a high scholarship record. Later in the year we lost another faithful member, Beulah Cloud who also Avas loved by all, was always loyal and possessed a very jileasant disposition. We have missed the personal contact with these classmates this year, but because of their precious personalities, we feel their spiritual presence, which will linger always in the hearts of the Class of ’31. 1 his year there Avas a much larger num ber of our class participating in campus activities, including the President of the f. W. C. A., with Cabinet members, Edi- tor-in-( hief of The Campus Mirror, with staff members, President of the Latin Club and Avorking members in other clubs. Now Ave haA 7 e come to the end of the fourth and last arc of our circuit. While Ave have had many experiences, which I shall not here enumerate, Ave have had the distinction of being the first class with four years use of the chapel and the first class to enjoy four years of the personal influence and inspiration of Miss Read, Avith her guidance and restraint. Xoav that this circuit is complete avc are moA’ing into our oAvn circuits in neAV and wider fields. It is our hope that these different fields will be enlarged and enriched by our varied contributions. “Carleton May Lose a Big Bout Unless He Wins.”—Headline in Hudson (N. J.) Dispatch.
