Class of 34
Clara Helen Haywood, ’34
The Senior class starts out on four wheels
at full speed. Petering? They don’t know
what that means. The prophecies so gener
ously foretold by those interested in this
class of ingenious young women are being
fulfilled.
Thomasine Duckett, president of the
Y. W. (’. A., gives every evidence of being
one of the most interested and progressive
of all other V. \Y. C. A. presidents.
Proof of this is the first social of the year,
which was sponsored by the Y. W. C. A.
under the direction of Eleanor Frazier.
Student appreciation in the activities of
the campus will be augmented this year by
the vital interest and intelligence of this
class.
Specifically, the Senior class consists of
thirty-five young women. Edna Douthard is
president; Lottie Lyons, vice-president;
Mildred McWhorter, secretary; and Mossie
Alexander, treasurer.
Fifteen of these young women are resi
dents of Atlanta, and to them may be at
tributed their share of the newer and fresher
interests.
Art Appreciation
Virginia Rose Hannon, ’30
The unique privilege which students of
Spelman, Morehouse, and Atlanta University
have of studying under Miss Mabel Brooks,
Instructor in the new course in Art Appre
ciation was made possible by the Carnegie
Corporation, an organization well known for
its deep interest in Negro Education.
Miss Brooks has exceptional training for
this position. In addition to teaching and
to study in America and abroad she is an
artist of note. Her work is being com
mented upon favorably by leading art critics
both of Europe and America.
The course is being held in the exhibition
room of the Atlanta University Library, and
use is being made of a valuable collection
of pictures donated by the Carnegie Cor
poration for this express purpose.
The course is open to upper classmen and
the University students.

Rushing, dashing,
Rushing, dashing!
Zing! Boom! Bah!
Sophomores! Sophomores!
Here we are!
We, the class of ’3(i, greet the new school
year with renewed energy and keen determi
nation to reach as near the top as persever
ance and earnest work will take us. AVe are
32 strong and we plan to “let our reach
exceed our grasp.” Ours is the spirit that
cannot be beaten. It is fired with the en
thusiasms of our ambitions and we propose
to do great things. We expect to be heard
among the truly great people of our day
and age. We pledge ourselves to uphold the
high ideals of “our school and our home”
and to make Spelman ever proud of her
daughters of ’36.
The Class of 1937
Carline Goudy, ’37
The bearers of the LAMP are bright,
eager to learn, and full of new ambitions—
this class of 1937 which already numbers
ninety-four. Their lamps of learning have
already been lighted and will continue to
glow in their pathways. The class of ’37,
with its confident, business-like girls bustling
about the campus today, will be the useful
light-givers of tomorrow.
Mabel Randolph Brooks
(Continued from Page 1)
has been recognized by some of the
best eiitics in her field. An article by
A\. B. McCormick, American Art Critic,
which was published in the New York Amer
ican for June 1, 1932, is high praise of
the altarpiece done by Miss Brooks in the
form of a Tripstych which was at that time
in the Montrose Gallery. The subject is
“Madonna and Child with Angels.”
Miss Brooks was graduated from Yale
l Diversity with the Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree in 1930 and is the first person of
the Negro race to receive that degree from
A'ale.
Miss Brooks has traveled extensively in
Italy, France, North Africa and Spain,
studying masterpieces of art everywhere.
The students of the three institutions and
the people of Atlanta are indeed fortunate
to have Miss Brooks here for a time teach
ing art appreciation.
The Sphinx of 1935
Ethklyndb Eloezora Armstrong ’35
“I p! There is always room at the top!”
This is the ever challenging call that
strengthens the Junior class as we begin
the coming year. Our number is fifty. Each
member has strong determination and daunt
less courage to keep up the standards of
her college. Our spirits are kindled by our
desire to attain our ever upward moving
goal.
AVe are happy to welcome four new mem
bers who have already joined wholeheartedly
to help us continue our progress. Courage,
faith, and will to endure—these are the quali
ties we hope to make as firm and everlast
ing as the Sphnix which represents us.
A Gift of Volume I
(Continued from Page 2)
expressed their ideas in the paper. There
was only a small space allowed to each
writer; the articles are short and con
densed; but this fact is in a way advan
tageous, for they had to say very briefly
just what they were thinking.
One student wrote: “A school is what its
students make it. As a man loves his coun
try, so should every student love her school
and reverence its laws. Co-operation and
unity lead to a good school spirit; these
cannot be attained without the help of all
students.”
Another writes, “Remember the largest
room in the world is the room for improve
ment.”
The Glee Club, we learn, was organized
on the twenty-sixth of October, 1924, by
Miss Bredenburg with the assistance of the
students. Their first real recital was given
in March of the following year. Tapley
Hall was then in the process of erection.
Jokes are plentiful throughout the papers
and from them we learn that something else
was new at Spelman in the line of beauty
culture, as you will see from the following:
One student to another: “I’m sorry for the
flies.”
The other student: “AVhy?”
First student: “So many are breaking
their necks trying to walk down Spelman
girls’ heads.”
The Campus Mirror staff hereby acknowl
edge tin* gift of the Dickinson sisters, whose
permanent address is R. F. 1). Amherst,
Massachusetts.
