In Memoriam
We, the students of Clerk, feel that it would be an injustice
to let the passing of our President's beloved mother gy by un
mentioned. We also feel that an expression of our sympathy is
fitting since Mrs. Brawley’s labor and efforts helped to produce
our great President. It was through her careful molding of his
childhood that he was later able to venture forth and achieve.
We must also asknowledge the passing of Dean A. O. Busta
mante, a man imbued with Christian principles and a firm con-
vicsion. Dean Bustamante was a friend to the women of Clark
and a “Big Brother! to the men. He was' never too busy to lend
a helping hand.
We feel that both Mrs. Brawley and Mr. Bustemante lived as
Bryant advised all to live:
So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.
E. Smith ’47
The Policy Of The Panther
The Panther Staff for the academic year, 1946-1947 greets
you and declares itself. It is our purpose to keep you informed on
campus activities, to publish important and interesting materials,
and to publish all that concerns you as students and administra
tors. It is our hope that The Panther, by publishing mutual ex
pressions, will enlighten both staff and students.
We have great plans for the new academic year and hope to
effect those plans by establishing a thorough-going and systematic
compilation of materials with the cooperation of all concerned.
The Panther is the voice of Clark College. It is, in fact, even
more; it is our powerful right arm. It is as stated in our staff
block each month, a promoter of school spirit by encouraging
projects and efforts among student groups and individual students;
a medium through which an opportunity is provided for students
to obtain experience in newsgathering, reporting, bookreviewing,
editorial nd creative writing; and an instrument for fostering
friendly and constructive criticism of campus activities. It is,
therefore, evident that your whole-hearted cooperation is neces
sary if your paper, your voice, your right arm is to be effective.
The Panther speaks; let all give ear. its words push back
the curtain that hides the future—the future of a leading group
of American youth.
It is our sincere hope that the service we give you is the best,
for we believe implicitly that the only excuse for the existence of
any institution is the service that it renders to society.

On The
Bookshelves
It seems that the trend of campus
conversation has turned more literary
this year. So if you want to be among
the well informed Clarkites, come with
me for a quick look on the bookshelves.
For those who would like to start
with something light, try Betty Mc
Donald’s The Egg and l which with
its hilarious sense of the ridiculous
if you have forgotten how to laugh
is just what the doctor ordered, ac
cording to the Salt Lake City Tribune.
Really, it’s a must on everybody’s
list.
Here’s one for the group (partic
ularly young men) who will want to
relive the adventures of Richard
Granville, a bold, charming, auburn
haired scoundrel who helps to make
this magnificent novel, The King’s
General, a classic. It’s Daphne du
Maurier’s latest novel.
From a number of psychological
thrillers, published recently, Christine
Weston’s The Dark Wood is the most
absorbing. It’s a tender story of a
young war widow who falls deeply in
love with a veteran resembling her
last husband. Her fight for sanity
makes this book a best seller.
For a rather satirical look at this
mad, incredible, yet “actual” world
of radio advertising, read Frederick
Wakeman’s The Hucksters.
A rather appealing book is The
World, The Flesh, and Father Smith.
Don’t be fooled by the title. No mat
ter what one’s faith or lack of it,
there is music, wisdom, comfort and
laughter in Father Smith’s affection
ate sojourn in this world of the flesh.
Another trend quite noticeable on
the campus is the tendency toward
“gracious living” and better manners.
If you’d really like to become your
“better self”, read Margery Wilson’s
charming book, The Woman You
Want To Be.
More suggestions next time and
don’t miss the book review of Yerby’s
The Foxes of Harrow printed below.
Good-bye and Good Reading!
JUNE BLANCHARD.
Alma Mater
There’s a school on the hill
That we love good and true
With a love that enlightens our souls
through and through
’Tis the shrine of a race and it’s
owned by a king
And Dear to our hearts are the
praises we sing—
Oh, we love every building that stands
on the hill
And we love even the trees waving,
whispering still
And oft to our Dear Alma Mater we
hark
May God bless you and keep you Our
Dear Old Clark.
