Page 4 The Panther October, 1945 Clark College J3and Social Tid-Bits The first social event for the school year of ’45-’46 was the dance given in honor of the Freshmen and new students on September the twenty- fourth. Music was furnished by the Troubadours. The hosts and hostesses for the evening included Misses Ruth Rodger, Mattie Moseley, Helen Cooper, Ora Williams, and Messrs. Reginald Haynes, George James, and Richard All you guys and gals have had one swell summer since you were not bothered with Mr. and Miss Peeping Tom. But' as the old saying goes, “all good things must come to an end.” You had better look out now for Mr. and Miss Peeping Tom are on the loose again. Why is it that J. V. looks so sad since Mildred has moved over on the campus ? Is it because of W. F. ? Please tell us, we are very interested. Will someone inform us why Chub by James had to leave Atlanta and go to Chattanooga to bring a certain young lady back. And why did R. W. go along with him ? Evangeline Allison, there is no man shortage any longer so please let Danotta look over the other girls. The other day as I was passing the corner, I over heard some one saying that Helen Cooper has put her beau down. Doesn’t she know that her other beau has another chick? One can do most interesting study ing at A. U. Library. If you don’t believe it ask Dorothy Hisle, Nettie Shaw, Claretta Bluford or Marcella —-James. This year we are to have a wed ding in the chapel after commence ment. Who shall it be G. J. & A. R. or C. P. & T. O.? This summer was one of contact, and seeing the town for the summer we had V. M., D. J., M. C., F. S., C. F. and Calodonia living on the campus. What happened ? I don’t 1 know for sure but you can bet that they were not the seven old maids that always went to bed. Katie McKinney is talked about by many men as their girl for this year. Which one shall it be Katie, Pettigrew, Haynes or George ? Or is it that you want to join Jessye, Luke and Marilyn in rocking the cradle. Well, Reginald Haynes your play thing is over. Eloise got a long dis tance call from James and he is on his way here to marry as they plan ned so Eloise says to pack up and shove off for the new port. What Clark young man goes over to Spelman to see his girl (so he tells the one at Clark) but walks around Spelman by himself? I see that George James has join ed the R. D. Club from what I saw one Sunday night about 10:00 o’clock, but don’t worry Chubby, you will have plenty of company. Will some one tell us what happen ed to the following couples, S. P. and A. T., R. R. and E. S., T. G. and J. S., E. S. and J. S.? Well since you can’t go to the show as often this year as you could last year, Richard Bolton what are your future plans? What has happened to the “Seven Sisters?” Could it be that they got wise and decided to join the Clark family instead of being a branch of it? I see that the girls are trying to catch the Clark men rather fast this year for we see such weird couples as E. A. and R. D., C. B. and M. R. William Trammell why don’t you wake up and take note that W. B, Bolton. Among those seen dancing to the strains of the Troubadours were Agatha Daniels and Eugene Prater, Marofrie Ross and Cecil Blye, Eloise Waters in pink net with Reginald Haynes, Alva Lindsay in orchid and gray with Chester Paige, Frances Bonner in blue with Richard Bolton, Dot Scruggs in aqua with Judo Brown, Aurelia Tatum with “Hamp” Pettigrew, and Anna Rice in black with Chubby James. We did have a grand time, didn’t we boys and girls ? doesn’t like you anymore. She is, as the girls put it, trying to be nice. Say Bernice Johnson, will you be so kind as to tell us which town you are fram Atlanta or Rome? We saw quite a bit of you here this summer. Doesn’t Alton Adams know yet that he can’t court in the library at night? The boys keep close watch on their girls this year, Mr. Adams. Oh but 1 Jeffrey Jennings has a girl friend. I’ll say that she is nice too. Lets hope that they go a long way together. Mattie Mosley has an engagement ring from some one and it isn’t Thomas Grissom. I wonder who the other party is, Mattie. Benjamin Bradford could it be wedding bells that we heard when you came back from Ohio ? Well boys R. R. has had a shove now so you can’t say the hairs on her face keeps her from getting a boy friend. Since Edward Smith has become manager of the bookstore I see he has a girl. In case you don’t know her, she is from Little Rock. Nice work Maurice, you catch on very fast. Well guys and gals if there was nothing wrong with this world I would feel funny but just as soon as these young ladies get a man I won’t feel funny. They are Sadie Rutledge, Rose Sabie, Hettie Wroten, Aileen Blake, Marie Wallace, Nora Mathis, Rowena Glass. Judo, I wonder if you know what you are doing when you leave “Tweet” to take over in your absence. They tell me that Owens and Howell had a grudge battle on the football field about a certain young lady and it wasn’t Cynthia Perry. Well girls there is another Haynes here so please give him a chance. But be careful, he is our tenor soloist and too much loving will make him swell head. Say R. R. why is it that all your friends call you “Strip?” Well friends, here’s where we find ourselves forced to sign off—not be cause of news, but space. To all Freshmen and new students — don’t think yourself a genius and try to find out who I am for there are people who have been trying that stunt for a long time (with no suc cess). Then, too, I might be your roommate or your best friend. Flash: Yes boys, you have to take what you can get now and no more because the shortage is now over. Don’t forget guys and gals this is your faithful friend, who sees all, hears all and tells nothing. He-He- Bye Now. Mr. and Miss Peeping Tom. Marriages (1) Miss Earlene Bums became the bride of Mr. Edward Tramell early in September. (2) Miss Mrytis Smith became the bride of Mr. George Sternes. Behind The Curtain The Dramatics Department, under the leadership of Mrs. Norma Hull Bland, is certainly one up-and-coming department which has successfully aroused the interest of all students who are interested in the art of drama. On Wednesday morning October 26th about twenty-five students were put on probation for membership into the Dramatic Arts Club. The initiation was very clevely directed by the old members who requested the probationites to paint the initials of the club on their forehead with finger nail polish, a sign carrying the name of their favorite movie star was also requested to hang from their necks down their backs. When met by one of the old members the probationites were immediately com manded to do an act from a picture of their favorite movie star. The initation proved very amusing for the entire student body—quite a bit of talent was found by having this probation period. Plays under-going production now are: “I’ll Be Waiting,” one-act play given by the new dramatic people. This play is dated in chapel for the 12th of October. Eugene O’Neil’s, “Sham” is being produced by Nora Spotts and Katherine Frye. This play will be given at the November monthly meeting of the Dramatic Arts Club, which will be the first Tuesday in November. If the play receives wide acclaim by the mem bers it will be carried to chapel. The major production for the year will be: Ladies In Retirement by Edward Percy and Reginald Denham. The play is now being cast. A new property recently received by the Dramatics Department is a call board contributed by Mr. Richard Bolton and Louis Brown who are members of the department. Co-ed Fashion Note School bells . . . school bells! Yes, the campus cavalcade begins again, a cavalcade of smart school fash ions . . . There’s a softer, more rounded look to the fashion picture for Fall ’45. It’s very becoming; have you noticed ? F’instance . . . the new Winged Sleeves seen in McCall 6266. Our happy model accents those deep-cut cleeves by the use of fabric contrast the new cherry red for the sleeves and rolled collar, and grey flannel for the dress. Note that rolled col lar, for it’s smart addenda for any dress. The Campus Crowd spends a daily dozen on good-looks. Gone are the days of the Sloppy Joe. Instead, a campus queen tucks her sweaters in to her pleated skirt, adds a belt of natural leather with p’rhaps a big gold dangle disk and wears neat loafers. A school girl carries out the Neat look with her hair-do. For classes and sports she tucks her hair into braids and fastens them a-top her head. There’s drama to such a hair style when she twines bright ribbons through the braids. For dates she brushes her shining tresses into a smooth page-boy. There’s more emphasis on the MIX than the MATCH, these days, so every campus wardrobe must have extra packets ... a cardigan blazer in white wool, and skirts ... a dirndle of gay shepherd checks. And don’t forget a boy’s shirt to wear with skirts and slacks. Yes . . . it’s school time again, the cavalcade of fashions will ring merry school belles for smart debs who can create their own school fashions.

Carver made its initial appearance of the season at the Clark-Wilber- force game on September 29, 1945 before 6,000 fans. Splendid accom paniment to yells and several regular band numbers were given which add ed to the already spectacular oc casion. Prior to the public appear ance at the game, the band had given a program during the regular chapel hour in conjunction with the cheering squad. Mr. Carver predicts a favorable band season with much new talent from incoming freshman and advanc ed students. Among the new mem bers are: S. B. Brown, trumpet; John Buck, drum; J. Malfield, base horn; Robert Cureton, clarinet; Ray Donat- to, clarinet; Titus Gillon, trombone; Alonzo Goggins, drum; Alvin Mead, trombone; William Ogletree, clarinet; Sterlin Poole, drum; Cleveland White, trumpet; Thomas Williams, clarinet; and Eugene Wimberly, flute. Despite the fact that several mem bers of the band have been lost due to graduation or other causes, the new members show such promise that no handicaps should follow. In addition to making preparations for subsequent gridiron performances the band is making preparations for the Annual series of Spring Concerts. The band is proud of the following addition to its library this year: Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life—Vic tor Herbert. Ten Transcriptions for Bass. Embraceable You — George Gers- whin. Other additions include El Captain, King Cotton, John Philly Sousa and others. This ever growing library is one of the most complete in the At lanta University System. New majorettes who add color and charm to gridiron encounters include: Johnnie Ellington, L. Dorsey, B. Nortez, M. Ross, M. Whiteside all of whom are under the able supervision and direction of Mr. Waymon A. Carver who sees a great deal of promising talent in these novices. Campus Improvements Remember the Beautification Drive of ’45 ? How could you forget after all your determination and effort? Upon your return to the campus you saw numerous changes and improve ments many of which are a result of your splendid cooperation. Beautiful stone benches have been placed in front of Memer and Pfeif fer Halls, on the south side of Pfeif fer and in the rear of Warren Haven Hall on the campus oval. Young trees have also been planted to add to the aesthetic beauty of the campus in advantageous spots. Mr. Wilson tells us to be patient, that those benches and trees didn’t take $6,000, but we have more shrubs on the way to be planted when cooler weather sets in. The freshmen won’t have to engage in a Beautification Drive, but A Sophomore’s Impression I am a sophomore, a new student of Clark College. I have already be come cognizant of the great ideals and traditions to which I am heir. The impressions that have been made on me by this institution are inde lible. I feel now that I am an inte gral part of the “Clark family.” The events of the first school week made me conscious of the cultural atmosphere. The first chapel assem bly brought further inspiration to me. Dr. J. P. Brawley, our most esteemed president made his welcome address to freshmen, new upper class- men, and new faculty members. To me, he introduced Clark College in its fullest. Then came the “get acquainted ball.” The initial dance of the year. It was an enjoyable semi-formal af fair. The next few days of chapel saw an enthused group of Clarkites, yell ing and cheering in anticipation of the season’s first football game. Fri day we were introduced to the foot ball team. Then came the game. Rain! Rain! Rain! That’s exactly what happened Saturday. Saturday— the day of our first football game. But in spite of rain there were many pennants, veils, and bright colors, the brightest of which were our own Black and Red. The “Panthers” came in fighting and kept fighting throughout the game. After all, they wouldn’t be called “Fighting Panth ers” if they didn’t. Our band, thanks to Mr. Carver’s splendid direction, performed beautifully. Wilberforce won, but the “C.C.” spirit was still there because every one took it in his stride. I am now under the impression that I am under the best influence to develop myself, socially, cultural ly, physically and spiritually, for this is CLARK COLLEGE. let’s hope they have some other plans brewing. Among the other changes of in terest on the campus is the partial reconversion of Pfeiffer Hall to its peace time status. In short, Pfeiffer Hall has been partitioned to accomo date Clark men on the south side and upper class women on the north. Double deckers are also a new feat ure of dormitory life. A Snack Shop, to be located on the north end of the recreation room of Thayer Hall, is being planned and should be in readiness when you receive this issue. The recreation room of Merner Hall also has been improved. Such standard equipment as a laundry room and a beauty salon have been added to the basement of Pfeiffer Hall. Nurse Chandler is beaming with joy over her new location on the first floor of Warren Haven Hall where she has a spacious reception hall, an enlarged and improved of fice, and a personal dressing and shower room. Just a hint—use but don’t abuse the campus and keep an eye out foi added attractions. —H. Kendall With Justice To All
