4 T h e Campus Mirror 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. f : 1 | MEBLOCK’S ! I PHARMACY j INCORPORATED j 99 I I “Where Lee and Gordon Meet ” 1 !

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.
