Meet the Seniors In
Morehouse North
(Continued from Page 20)
Now we take you to the terrace over
looking the campus beautiful and we
find Louise Jones, Edna Lemon, and
Anna Grimes, who occupy the suites ad
joining the terrace. Such lovable kids
they are to lend us their terrace on black
out nights—not that we use it, but we
know we could if we really wanted to.
Then you’ll probably meet Virginia Till
man. who sings a merry ‘"Hello and
who’ll even invite you into her room for
a tete a tete. A wonderful person that
Virginia. Now if you can get away from
her. w r e'll take you to see Ruth King
and Lavada Stokes, two very lady-like,
serious-minded personalities. V hat s this?
They’re not at home; but of course, Ruth
has gone to chaperone a group of Fresh
men to town, and Lavada is in the music
studio; but we can tell you that they
stand out wherever they are.
There is another young lady on the
Avenue whose presence you always feel
even though she doesn t talk much. 1
refer to Mary Woods, neat and efficient
as she can possibly he. Norma Payton
and Louise Jones are probably in the
“apartment” cooking up goodies, for they
both are home-makers from the heart.
They’ll probably say. “Oh. it’s nothing.
Anybody can do it.” . . . But they’re
proud of themselves and so are we.
We’re so impressed by those we've just
left on the Boulevard and the Avenue
that we hesitate to go further, hut we
hear a voice humming a tune from Lena
Horne’s latest hit, so we are impelled to
venture upward. Down the hall comes
Virginia McGhee, that girl with the voice.
She finally quiets down enough so that
Ira Wallace can get in a word or two.
She exhibits a personality that cannot
he forgotten by anyone that meets her.
Her roommate, Della Bannister, attired in
a gym suit on her way from physical edu
cation. shouts a cheery “Hello. She’s
a grand person and very athletic. Next
we visit Dorothy Colbert and Marion
Hickerson. Of course Dorothy is at the
library studying (yes of course) and
Marion is asleep taking her daily beauty
nap. But the photographs around in the
room tell us that they are progressive
lassies; yes, they are, because pictures
never lie. Cleo Ingram and Emma Lou
Salter can always be found in their
rooms. They are Home Ec. students, so
they are probably discussing balanced
diets, vitamins, and such. Gwen Cooper
and Mariella Ama have been anticipat
ing moving their bunks to the library.
Better hurry, kids! You have only three
more weeks to study. But there > one
thing; they always have something to
show for their hard “studying.”
Mary Louise Smith and Roberta Ar-
C A MPLS MIRK 0 R
nold have gone to lunch, hut we'll come
hack in the morning for chapel where
we ll meet them both. They re always
there. Mary Louise is as jovial as can
be. and Roberta carries a smile for every
one she meets. Marguerite Smith is
another Block Senior you'll never for
get. She is an interesting conversational
ist, as well as a good listener. Julia
Brown has gone to lunch, but she's the
best alarm clock Morehouse North af
fords. She always sees that Helen Bridges
is up and out on time. What’s Helen
to do when they leave dear old Spelman?
Rose Lee bounces down from the
Block to the Avenue every morning sing
ing “I Guess I'll Be on My Way.” An
toinette Brown is holding down the line
at the dining hall, and we just dare
anyone to try taking her place. She's up
to par in punctuality. Indeed, when she
hears the first toll of the ten o’clock bell
she is removing her house slippers, and
by the time the last stroke is heard
Antoinette is away in dreamland. Sorry
we cannot say the same about Edith Reid.
She has healthy vocal cords, and does
she exhibit them, especially after “lights
out”! We have named her Captain
Midnight.
I hope you’ve been interested in meet
ing these personalities in Morehouse
North dormitory, so we return now to
“the campus beautiful.” But wdiat’s this
coming from the living room? Oh, it’s
sweet, demure and lovable Faustina Hall
singing Homing, and hearing the sound
of feet, we notice two strange creatures
shaking every muscle and joint. They
are Annie Laura Cameron and Josie
Telefare doing a “Jersey Bounce” to
Faustina’s Homing. Annie Laura is an
attractive little Miss from the Avenue
and Josie casts a smile that’ll set you
back on your heels.
Leaving this scene we venture out to
see what the Seniors in Morehouse South
have to offer—that is, if you can possibly
take all this in one day, for certainly so
many captivating personalities at one
time may prove harmful to any one’s
mental hygiene.
Barbara Mosley, 44.
“The more you know the fewer your
competitors! ”
“Dad, what part of speech is woman?”
“Woman isn't a part of speech, son.
'die’- all of it.”
“A talker has few secrets.”
A Day With Morehouse
South
(Continued from Page 20)
During mail hour, which begins at
11:30. Marie Lauray calls down to Char
lotte Linder to see whether there are
any “L’s” on the mail ilst or whether
she has received a Special Delivery
Letter. Mable Emanuel turns her head
as she reaches for her letters, certain
that it is only “Y” mail. Laura Watson
and Marguerite Pearson, after looking at
the list very frantically, ask each other
what has happened to the folk at home.
After distribution of the mail. Betsy
M oss, Louise Coley, and Claudia Davis
form a circle at the end of the third
floor corridor and re-read their past and
present letters to one another.
When lunch is over, Pearl Dorch and
Lucy Ridley listen to anything the radio
offers and then rush out to join Mar
guerite Pearson and Mary Martin in their
comments on the passersby for the 1:45
class.
On entering the dining hall we see
Savannah Ivory in a very business-like
manner selling the rest of her tickets for
the Pan-Americana Club and collecting
for those she has already put out.
On leaving the dining hall after lunch
w r e hear Margaret Gordon say, in a very
perturbed voice, “Did you eat that stuff
in the dining hall? I couldn't.” Dorothy
Hood and Ella Tyree are seen getting to
gether on that last unworked calculus
problem about fifteen minutes before
class time.
L,aura Watson after her 3:45 class in
the afternoon, sleeps until supper. Even
while asleep Laura will join in the con
versations.
Estelle Ashmore returns from West
End just before the 5:30 hell rings. She
makes this trip every other day for a
dozen delectable oranges.
Every idle moment Geneva Higgins
fills by making a dress, modeling with
clay, or doing her handicraft. Her room
mate, Jessie Croom, on the other hand,
consumes about thirty minutes of the
study period to make for herself an ideal
scene for writing her Sociology term
paper, which is due on the next day.
No one needs an alarm clock to re
mind her when study hall is ended. The
noise made by the excited girls on their
return from the library is indication
enough.
About 9:55 Opal Jones and Ludy
Lundy, although living across the hall
from each other, begin a most interest
ing five minute conversation before the
10:00 P.M. bell rings.
At the sound of the bell all is quiet???
Those busy seniors are going to sleep???
