C. Posey and J. F. Summersette Faculty Advisors 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. H.

Miss Brown is a member of the Senior Class. Her campus activities include 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.
