With Justice To All Now that the Football season is under way and everyone is getting off on a good start for a successful school year, let’s take a peep at the underworld and see what’s brewing under cover that ain’t beer! Mr. and Mrs. Tom and their son and daughter, Master and Miss Tom, are not Math Students, but any one as dumb as they on the sub ject can see the various angles on the campus this year—most ly triangles. Even though the school year is still young, the Triangle Club has gotten off to a good start. Is it Cynthia P. or Lloyd Mid dleton this year, Talmadge? When is Calvin J. going to de cide between Josephine Stratt- man and Doris Stinson, or is it a hard matter to decide. Now that Triangle involving Katie McKinney with Portia T. giving her competition for R. H. really is something for you Math Stu dents to consider. Little Peeping Tom told Big Peeping Tom that John (Snow- hill) was trying to form a Tri angle with Nora Spotts and Sa rah Gannaway—what about it Snowhill? That famous triangle of last year was broken this summer when Inell said “I do” to Boop L., leaving poor Ruth without the army to keep her warm. Oh, well, maybe R. L. ain’t going to lose sleep after she decides between Joe Wil liams and Paul Sanford of the “House.” Triangles are not the only things of interest on Clark’s Campus, ’cause as long as homes and the boys from the Homies come around there’ll be other things to tell. Kind of nice to see your old “S. P.” William Barnes, on the campus, wasn’t it, Evelyn T. ? Old “Skin Man” (D. R.) fell in late from Chicago via Knox ville, Tenn., with a new line of iive, plenty ambition and skin. Wonder which will win out, the jive or the books? Better get new boots, A Adams, ’cause it seems as if Ogust Mai is just giving you the run around . . . guess that is life, too ... I mean the run ning around. George Allen made two trips to Chattanooga this summer— was it to see E. L. or C. S. ? Generally, when the cats are away, the mice will play . . . maybe Richard B. will pick up on Dorothy Payne again . . . who knows ... we don’t. . . . Wonder what football hero will it be for Mildred B. this season? . . . Say, Ludelle White—aren’t you Rocking the cradle this year?” Is D. E. going to Clark or Morehouse ? Will someone teach Thelma Howell the words to “Young Man Blues”? Why does Johnny C. head off the Campus? Is it to study or visit in the city?

E. H. D., or M. T. Well, now, we’ve got to go now, but remember, if you don’t want to see it in print—don’t do it, but if you do it, then look out, ’cause Peeping Tom is al ways around. So Long, “Peeping Tom.” With the playing of “Here Comes Old C. U.,” the Clark Panthers were led onto the grid iron by their captain, Reginald Haynes. Loud applause was au dible as more than thirty men, rearing to go, made the rounds of Harper’s Field. In time for the kickoff, the first team went forth with full armor to meet the Army Red Devils, who were later to go down in defeat. The ball was received by Da vid Harper approximately one minute after the kick-off, who ran twenty yards for the first touchdown of the game. The point was missed after Alter nate Captain Talmage Owens blocked a punt made by the Army on their twenty-yard line. During the same period two passes were made—the first to Captain Haynes, who ran for fif teen yards and the second also to Haynes, which fell incomplete. In the third half of the first quarter Harper made the second touchdown after a first attempt failed when he reached the dou ble strip line. The two points in the first half brought the score to: Clark 14, Army 0. The two points were made possible when the “Roaring” Panthers pushed the Army back and scored for a safety play. Although the odds as to weight and height was well in favor of the Army’s Red Devils, the Panthers fought with bull dog tenacity to hold their line. The Red Devils tried to pierce the fighting Panthers’ line on several occasions and succeeded when their efforts were reward ed and they managed to gain two points from a safety play. These points came as a result of a pass made to Harper which failed. On the sidelines sat the other half of Clark’s fighting team of more than five hundred and fifty students gloriously arrayed in the school’s colors, giving of their energy through their yells to spur the team on to victory. Mr. Carver led the band in ap propriate music for the occasion and was assisted by the Cheer ing Squad. First it was ‘Give Me That Old C. U. Spirit,” then “What Is Wrong With the Team,” and others, which made the team roar back through their actions, “That the team was all right.” Coach Charles McPherson and his staff used grand strategy in making regular substitutions throughout the game. This kept the first team from becoming overworked and in shape to maintain the line that it was fighting to hold. Because of the substitutions it makes it impos sible to single out any one man of the team as the star of the game. Harper, Haynes, Colquitt, Small, Owens, James, Slocum, Jennings, and the other mem bers of the team too large to enumerate started out at two o’clock to bring home the bacon and, with that determination, succeeded in winning the initial game of the season for Clark by a score of 14-2. The major in juries were inflicted by the Pan thers on the Red Devils (if there were any).

The Birth of Our College Song We of today, who sing, “There’s a School on a Hill,” lit tle realize how this song came into existence. In the fall of 1920, Dr. Andrew King, then President of Clark University, offered a prize of five dollars for the best original song which would express the ideals of the University and its students. After hearing the appeal of Dr. King, Morrison went home and composed the song over night. The tune he used was that of “Mother Machree,” in honor of his beloved and older sister, the late wife of Mr. W. T. Cun ningham, an alumnus. She had encouraged and aided him finan cially in his struggle to get an education. The tune was her fa vorite. By ballot, the students and faculty voted for the pres ent song, which was written by Herbert Morrison, a member of the Freshman Class. Herbert Morrion, as a student, was respected by all for his man ly qualities and appreciation of beauty. To these was added his natural flair for writing, which he demonstrated in the many poems he wrote. Mr. Morrison is now employed as a clerk in the Post Office Department in New York City. What Cupid Did? Miss Carrie Julia Leigh was married to the Reverend D. T. George Thursday, June 14, 1944, at Antioch Baptist Church, At lanta, Georgia. Mrs. George spent her summer honeymoon ing in Georgia and attending the Baptist Convention in Dallas, Texas.
