Compliments Eugene Harris QUALITY CLEANERS We Finish To Begin Thelma E. Roberts, ’33 1 was graduated from the tenth grade, in a small Georgia town in 1927. I had reached the top of the educational ladder there. Thrilled, proud, happy, curious, and eager, I attended the baccalaureate sermon. Bub bling with keen anticipation, 1 was con sciously a part of the class-history, of the poem, and the will, and above all of the motto: We Finish to Begin. In green let ters, if was the sole decoration on the wall back of the stage. As 1 sat proudly with my back to it, I wondered, as T looked into the faces of that heterogeneous group before me, what it meant to them. Perhaps it would be only amusing now to relate exactly what that motto meant to me then; however, as it has come to lodge in me during the six years since then, ex periences have revealed its meaning more clearly and fully. It means one interpreta tion of the evolutionary process of life— and again, another interpretation of social progress and social self-direction. It harmo nizes perfectly with the contacts and experi ences which have convinced me that there is no static perfection and finished achieve ment. Time has proved it to be of genuine worth. I find it, at this second goal, ready to challenge me once again—a challenge to begin a real service to man, not to expect as a reward “purple dreams of power and fame,” not to expect a life of “tame en joyment,” but something that will accumu late into a loaf of contentment from which I shall administer slices of comfort and cheer to my brothers. My motto: We Finish to Begin, what does it mean to you? Senior Group Dine With Mrs. Willis On Wednesday evening, May 31, at 6:00 o’clock, eight girls who have had Mi’s. Willis as their house mother during some winter or summer of their stay at Spelman, were asked to dine with her in the faculty-guest dining room at Morgan. The group included Janie Banks, Edna Hackney, Alpha Talley, Carol Blanton, Millie Dobbs, Cora Douthard, Josephine Harreld and Mamie Bynes. The clever souvenirs of miniature seniors in caps and gowns and place cards done in the class colors were outstandingly rare and added much to the hour. Miss Ruttkay, present house mother of the group, was one of the guests. “Well, I’m educated,” sighed a senior as she finished her last exam. First Girl: “Girls, please be quiet, I am trying to study.” Second Girl: “Well, put your fingers in your ears.” Third Girl: “She can’t do that, for her knowledge has to go in one ear and come out of the other.” Spelman-Morehou.se- Atlanta University Baccalaureate Speaker Reverend Justin W roe Nixon, Pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church, Rochester, New York, was speaker at the joint bacca laureate services of Spelman and More house 1 Colleges, and Atlanta University.
