APRIL, 1945
With Justice
Toward All
”s been a long time . . . Huh,
Coeds? . . . Wall, it’s gettin’
warmer now . . . grass is green
and, oh, the couples that can
been seen relaxing upon same.
Yep, ole peepin’ Tom doesn’t
have to overstrain his glimpers
’cause it’s plain to see that
“Blimp” Chapman and Braxton
are beginning to look like Siam
ese Twins. Is that the reason
your mother is here, Blimp?
Seems as tho’ Dot Hunter had
an ulterior motive for giving D.
Lewis the “go by”—eh, Jetty?
Did she tell you about the sol
dier, too? . . . J. Jordan sure
knows how to keep things un
der control, even at a distance;
for that matter, so does Coffee,
’cause D. T. Harper’s’ been put
ting through several long dis
tance calls . . . Say, R. Eber-
hardt, is it that you and E.
Prater are comparing class notes
or has your interest turned to
the cradle? . . . Notice that N.
Flanagan’s interest has turned
toward Merner Hall, but he still
doesn’t know how to ask for
dates, huh, “Detri”? . . . Did
you know that Corine Hatcher
is just playing “Pee Wee” to at
tract J. Colquit’s attention ? bet
ter watch out, Maxey! . . . E.
Gibson certainly has to do a lot
of work, here of late, after hours
in the administration building
. . . E. Sullivan, Bessie said she
will be singing “Too Late, Too
Late,” unless you start action.
Looks like “Allah” has finally
settled down with Dot Scruggs
or is it due to Spring? . . . The
great lover C. James is making
Rice his big objective. . . . Evi
dently, Jon El doesn’t appreciate
“her Kelly” socializing with the
dormitory girls ... we didn’t
know it was sooooh serious,
Kelly.
Kelly H., the boys say you’ve
been noted number one report
er. Too bad Jlldo don’t worry
Dot says you’ll be first next
time.
Jetty V., did you finally set
tle down with someone more
nearly your age? Nice work,
Dorothy H.
A sight to be seen—Blimp and
La Rue making eyes.
Please, Naomi R., be a little
nicer to Sleepy. He likes you.
Agnes L. and Doris L. are
planning on tossing a coin for
A. Hawkins.
Helen P. is now singing “My
Heart Belongs to Handy.”
Orchids to Naomi B. and Ruth
R. Keep trying, you will get a
boy friend some day.
Jordan W., are you being a
glamor boy or is it you can’t
make up your mind? We heard
that Lolita cut out on you at
the dance for Jerome Harris.
That so ?
When Smalls was sick, Alma
G. caused quite a confusion in
Merner Hall.
Wimberly Mack, is it true
that Juanita H. has found your
soft spot? That’s what the com
mittee boys reported.
Marilyn, do you mind content
ing yourself with one and giv
ing the other girls a chance?
Jessye, is Watts really spend
ing the summer in New York?
Lloyd M., are you really or
ganizing an Old Maids Club?
Dot Chase, why don’t you see
that girl at Morris Brown? She
asked about you. Could it be
concerning Bill ?
That’s a grand fivesome and
we like that sort of thing. Mar
cella and Adlert, Laura and
Steve, and lone but not least,
Carolyn.
Someone told me that Touch
stone’s thought had turned to
Billie Carter of Morris Brown.
O’Neal, you had all the boys
whistling when you fell out so
hard to the formal Dinner.
Please don’t do that again.

Hope I haven’t exposed too
much, but ya know, ’tis with
iustice toward all.
Your humble servant,
Peepin’ Tom.
Track
Now that spring has officially
made its appearance the men of
Clark have gathered their track
shoes and warm-up togs. They
are going to add their ability in
the “world of track.” The men
who participate not only ac
quaint themselves with sports,
but also learn their teammates
and good sportsmanship. These
and all the other standards that
go to make good athletics may
he found in Clark men who have
displayed more than their part
to keep our institution “Second
to None.”
Introducing the track team of
’45, we find Talmadge Owens of
Gary, Indiana, who made All-
S. I. A. C., and All-City pick for
football and All-City in basket
ball, out for the broad jump and
sprint. Joseph Swiggins of
Springfield, Ohio, who made a
creditable showing for himself
in basketball, is a sprint man.
Reginald Haynes of Texas
throwing the discus. The men
just mentioned are all three-
letter men. Other men from last
year’s team are: Earnest Sulli
van of Atlanta, Ga., throwing
the javelin, and Samuel Hatch
ett of Chicago, Ill., who takes to
the air in pole-vaulting.
The new members of the
squad are Raymond Williams of
Atlanta. He is heading the list
of a three-letter man for the
Freshman Class. An ace on the
basketball court, we hope to see
the same of Raymond as a 440
man. Little Kelly Henry of
Knoxville, Tenn., 440 man; Jo
seph Brown of Gary, Indiana,
high jump and sprint; Joseph
Jennings of Texas, discus and
javelin. These men, too, should
make the list of three-letter
men: Charles White of Atlanta,
Ga., sprint; David Washington
of Texas, shot and discus; Jetty
Viot of La., mile run; John
Camp of Dayton, Ohio, mile;
Jordon Williams of Atlanta,
sprint; Chester Page of Atlan
ta, Ga., mile; and Allen Slocum,
Columbus, Ala., shot-put.
What Would
Happen If:
Lena were a Short instead of
a Long?
Rose were a Foot instead of a
Head ?
Mae were a Temple instead of
a Chappie?
Anna were Grits instead of a
Rice ?
Louise were a Steak instead
of a Ham?
Bernice were a Meadows in
stead of a Fields?
Enid were a Black instead of
a White?
Alonzo were a Mountain in
stead of a Hill?
Lizzie were an Egg instead of
a Bacon?
Jack were a Chime instead of
a Bell?
Mary were a Thicket instead
of a Pickett?
Bernice were a Grinder in
stead of a Miller?
Madeline were a Weed instead
of a Reed?
Louise were a Yellow instead
of a Brown ?
Eddie were a Brook instead
of a River?
David were a Violinist instead
of a Harper?
A. P>. were a Wrong instead
of a Wright?
Edith were an Old instead of
a Young?
Ada were a Slaveman instead
of a Freeman?
Annie were a Straight instead
of a Cross?
Softball
Spring— brings with it many
wholesome activities. Another
phase of sports the men of Clark
are taking an active part in is
softball. The season started off
with a double-header between
the Baby Rens and the Clark
Panthers. The Baby Rens won.
March 31, 1945, Clark and
Morris Brown played at the reg
ular meeting place, the A. U.
diamond. Morris Brown won the
first game, 3 to 1, but as only
natural for the Panthers of
Clark, they took the second,
4 to 1.
The players for Clark are:
Raymond “Doe Belly” Wil
liams, George “Chubby” James,
Joseph “Jodo” Brown, Talmadge
“Fox” Owens, Reginald “Steer”
Haynes, Joseph “Profile” Swig-
gins, Hamilton “Hamp” Petti
grew, Joseph “Pee Wee” Eber-
hart, Jeffery Jennings, Samuel
Hatchett, Edward “Blimp”
Chapman, Thomas Jrissom and
Clarence Lovick.
If Only He
Wouldn’t look as if his nails
were in mourning.
Would bury the sports jacket
that bangs against his knees.
Wotdd refrain from looking
either as if he were growing a
nage-boy bob or as if he had
been run over by a passing lawn-
mower.
Would lift the anchor off his
spine when my mother comes
into the room.
Would invest in a lotion so
that when we hold hands in the
movies I wouldn’t feel like an
orange being grated.
Would stop defying the law
of gravity with those garterless
socks of his.
Wouldn’t take three inches off
Ids height by that weary, wilt
ed stance.
Would use a good gargle ten
minutes before he comes over
to see me.
Would clean his shoes occa
sionally, just for the novelty.
Would change his collars be
fore they begin to look as if the
laundry had refused them.
Would bring his trouser cuffs
and his shoe tons within hailing
distance of each other.
Wouldn’t look upon a hand
kerchief only as a decorative
item.
Would concede that a trouser
pleat is not synonymous with be-
in «r a sissv.
Wouldn’t allow such an im-
nressive view of his food while
it’s being chewed.
Would donate his scenic ties
to the National Geographic So
ciety.
Would stop being funny about
the way I look.
If Only She
Would lop off that rat’s nest
she calls a pompadour.
Wouldn’t smear that gory red
goo on her lips.
Would find a way of keeping
that goo . . . light or dark . . .
off her teeth.
Would chip some of that
phony-looking paint off her face.
Would give up gnawing off
most of her fingernails and cov
ering what’s left with more dark
red stuff.
Wouldn’t get me all confused
with so many pins and rings
and bracelets.
Would shoot the guy who sold
her those ankle-length earrings.
Wouldn’t go around looking as
BOXING
Still another phase of Sports
has come to Clark, that of Box
ing. Getting ready for the Box
ing Bouts at Sunset, Clark vs.
Morehouse, a couple of the men
of Clark, from the “Steel City,”
ventured to Box at the USO
Tuesday, April 24. In the ring
we found Johnnye “Bird” Col-
quit, seemingly a quiet person
ality, yet he is still a sportsman
fro mhis heart. Having fought
at the “Savoy” in Chicago,
“Twin City” in East Chicago,
South Bend and Michigan City,
“Bird” had quite a bit in the
gloves that added to his credit.
The other boxer for Clark was
T. “Fox” Owens. These men
boxed and won over the Hill
Brothers.

if she expected to grow into her
sweater eventually.
Wouldn’t giggle-giggle-giggle
in the movies.
Wouldn’t let that wild and
abandoned note creep into her
gum-chewing.
Wouldn’t try to make her fan
cy perfume a substitute for soap
and water.
Would understand that noth
ing on earth can be more “too
much” than perfume.
Wouldn’t always be hitching
and hiking at her clothes as if
she had an epidemic of grass
hoppers.
Would stop waving her hands
around ilke a traffic cop every
t ; me she tells a story.
Would find some gadget to
keep her stockings from getting
all baggy at the ankles.
Wouldn’t ever wear high-
heeled shoes with slacks and
wouldn’t wear slacks downtown
at all.
Would stop being funny about
the way I look.
