The Class of ’44
Dorothy Hood
Today the class of 1944 looks out upon a
new horizon and the dawn of a new day;
a day of chaos but a horizon of new hope.
As we advance through the ensuing year
it will, indeed, take the wisdom of the owl—
the emblem of our class — to maintain a
“true heart and a level head,” which are
so vital for the very' maintenance of an
existence today.
However, under the capable leadership of
Carolyn Taylor, President; Lelabelle Free
man, Vice-President; Mary Louise Smith,
Secretary; Marguerite Pearson, Treasurer;
and with our motto “Let our reach exceed
our grasp” — ever in mind, the Senior Class
feels quite sure of its logical position and
of its destination.
Each of us will continue as she has done
in the past to make the class of 1944 a suc
cessful one, and the year one well worth
remembering.
Spelman Students Association
Marguerite Pearson, ’44
Every college aims to make her students
able citizens of the future. This is done
through allowing the students to aid in the
administrative projects of the school. This
was the basis for the organization of the
Spelman Students Association in the spring
of 1942. The new organization made success
ful and admirable progress under its first
president, Miss Helen Rice, ’43. The first
year’s work laid a sturdy foundation for fu
ture building.
The executive committee, made up of stu
dent representatives, a faculty advisor and
an alumnae representative, has drafted a
constitution which is ready to be presented
to the administration and the student body.
Ella Tyree, now president of the Students
Association, cannot be expected to carry on
the business of the organization without the
united effort of the entire student body. The
year 194344 cannot be successful without
the full cooperation of every Spelman stu
dent. This is your organization, run by
your representatives and the issues before it
are voted on by you. You are the Spelman
Students Association, and without you and
your support nothing can be done for you or
by you.
The Class of ’45
Rebecca Guyton, ’45
The class of ’45 once again weighs anchor,
raises its sails and embarks on the sea of
enlightenment. With our emblem, the Lamp,
to guide us, we shall acquire more knowl
edge, abundant happiness and formerly un
attained heights of success.
Our class officers are:
President Julia Brown
Vice-President Madeline Patterson
Secretary Althea Palmer
Under their capable leadership we shall
fill the Lamp with “oil” (our experiences),
light it and hold it high, so that it may
guide the path of our sister class, the Fresh
men.
Sporting Round
In the world of sport, no concession is
made to the famous saying, “History repeats
itself—,” whether in one year, two years,
or eight years! In the event of Saturday,
October 16, it was eight years.
Yes, eight years had passed since the
Maroon Tigers of Morehouse had beat or tied
the Morris Brown Wolverines. Morehouse
made the first touchdown of the game with
Pearson of Kentucky carrying the pigskin
over the goal line. Morris Brown in the last
minutes of the second quarter made a touch
down to even the score, 6-6.
This game was especially eventful be
cause, aside from the fact that an eight-year
record of Morris Brown had been broken,
the Morehouse team was playing its first
game of the season, coached by Mr. Vernon
Smith, a Morehouse graduate of the class
of 1933.
Spelman is squarely behind the Maroon
Tigers and is anticipating being represented
at the next games which will be played in
Harper’s Field. Please bring home the bacon
for Spelman.
Upperclassmen Entertain
Freshmen
On October 9 the first social event of the
season took place in Howe Memorial Hall.
The occasion was a getting acquainted eve
ning for the purpose of giving opportunity
to the upperclassmen and the freshmen for
becoming better known to one another. A
well varied program and cheerful atmosphere
helped promote a successful evening.
The upperclassmen began the ball rolling
with representation from Morehouse North
and South. Faustina Hall, Bobbie Latimer,
and Barbara Mosely composed a trio from
The Class of ’46
Johnnie Hogg, ’46
We, the members of the class of ’46 who
are back a second year to greet old friends
and classmates, regret that there are those
who did not also return. We are especially
happy to make new acquaintances among the
freshmen and extend a hearty welcome to
them.
This year Spelman is fortunate to have
the largest Sophomore enrollment of its col
lege history. Wit lithe emblem of the Eagle
left to us by the class of ’42 as inspiration to
soar higher in search of knowledge, we as
Sophomores under the leadership of our
president, Miss Eolyn Murrell, wish to make
this the best Sophomore class in the history
of Spelman College.
