a journey through the “Garden of Life.”
Margaret Aiken, of Clark, spoke on the
subject. “They Fail Who Have Not
Striven." From Morehouse College came
the president of the Senior Class, Butler
Henderson, who commented briefly on
“Three Crises of Youth.” Carolyn Tay

Spelman, our dear Alma Mater,
Thy flaming torch we'll e’er display.
Our love for you will never falter,
Your trust in us we’ll ne’er betray.
Inspired by thy message of truth
Ever grateful we shall be,
May your lights guide the steps of youth;
May your message make men free.
As we each find a different place
You will remain our guiding star
Our heritage of courage and faith
Will sustain us where’er we are.
A Day With Morehouse
South
Marie Louise Lauray, ’44
There are certain patterns of behavior
characteristic of each of us as we go
about our busy day. Just for the sake of
amusement, let us point out some of the
Morehouse South seniors and their do
ings in the course of a typical day.
At 6:45 those who are not already
awake are awakened by Annie Nelson
and Willie Sherwood calling “Claud”
(Claudia Davis) to come down and go
to breakfast.
After breakfast, around 7:30. we are
entertained by Gwendolyn Harrison as
she does her duty work and broadcasts
children’s stories and songs as “Auntie
Remus.” As a time saver, Hazel Cochran
throws a dust pan from the third floor
to the second and then begins to sweep
the steps. About 7:50 Lelabelle Free
man and Nina Charlton are just getting
up and hastily dressing for chapel. They
arrive just in time for the first hymn,
during which Del A. Eagan sings, first
soprano, then alto, then soprano again.
Thelma Jones joins in the responsive
reading with much enthusiasm and ex
pression. With the second hymn Mary
Martin rushes in and climbs over every
one to get to her seat.
When chapel is over. Gwendolyn Dow
dell comes home and looks through old
magazines for pictures to tack up on the
wall. Inez Collier may be seen coming
out of her room asking if the first hour
classes have changed.

Med the Seniors in
Morehouse North
Morehouse North is simply bubbling
over with marvelous, wonderful, striking
personalities! So that it’s difficult to find
a starting point for bringing it to your
awareness. The girls have taken pride
in naming their respective floors from
bottom to top “The Boulevard,” “The
Avenue,” and. finally. “The Block.” Let’s
look in on the Boulevard, represented
by quiet, generous, and efficient George
Ann Ulen. Sharing her always neat and
clean chamber is Rudean Hackett. whose
personality and dependability shine forth
to everyone who comes into contact with
her. These two lassies make up the
senior occupants on the Boulevard, so we
move on to the Avenue where cheerful
ness, graciousness, and high spirits greet
you with a hearty welcome. The first
person you’ll see will be Marion Edwards
striding down the hall attired in a fa
mous, well-known Bette Davis costume.
(You remember “Old Acquaintance.”)
She’ll probably have her tooth-brush in
her mouth and a towel on her shoulder,
but you'll know her. Suddenly a loud
noise coming from the last room to your
left calls attention to Barbara Mosley,
who is singing I Love Life, straining
every nerve. You don’t wonder why if
you have seen her on Sunday afternoons
after vespers. You may also hear another
weird sound from the same room; that’ll
be Bobbie Latimer singing /’// Be So
Glad, and she’s as studious as she is
musical, too, (believe it or not).
