With Justice To All Yes, boys and girls. It is I PEEP ING TOM seeing and hearing all. Don’t try to find out who I am be cause that is impossible. Nevertheless, I must go on with the gossip. R. Donatto, what has happened to that Charles Boyer charm. Have you lost B. Fields. Well, Well, J. Blanchard your dra matic technique is slipping. Can’t it get you a boy friend this year? J. Reese, not being so personal, who is really the girlfriend? I. Collier or B. Jones? You were told to put one of them down and from what I heard it wouldn’t be I. Collier. Summer vacation really brings on decided changes. Some of the old cou ples are not together and some are still carrying the torch for each oth er. It seems that V. Scruggs has really put T. Roberts down. Too bad Tommy. M. Ross and L, Manns, what has happened to that torch? Is it be cause C. Blye is back? It looks as though D. Scruggs and J. Brown, H. Pettigrew and M. Bones, M. Hardwick and W. Johnigan, E. Waters and R. Haynes, B. Hunter and T. Cooper, B. Fields and A. Hill know how to settle their spats. So, M. Whiteside, you have really decided to put R. Williams down. What is it, Minnie, H. Grissoms? R. Woodard, what are you saying about that or was that true? Now that football season is in, there seem to be a lot of heroic ro mances now. V. Cameron, don’t get such a crush on Boom because he’s putting all his talk down to L. Fort- son, Speaking of putting down and pick ing up, R. Rodgers what are you picking up now? Don’t answer that. B. Jones, M. McDonald, M. Brau- ner, don’t worry, you aren’t too pop ular yet. The boys are just trying to see what makes you tick. That’s typical of all Freshmen. Take it from me, play it C-O-O-L. Some one seems to be able to work magic around here. Where did those Seven Sisters disappear to? At one time they joined the Clark College family. It seems that some don’t belong to it anymore. R. Maxie, don’t tell me it’s not Dil- worth; he has a fine car you know. lust a tip to the freshmen girls. Morehouse is across the street, but, I am quite sure you know that we have “Clark” men to associate with. It is said, “Association Breeds Assim ilation! !!!!” J. Bell and M, Lamar, you didn’t fool us; we knew it all the time. No, T. Owens, I didn’t forget you. This is to inform all the new girls that he is occupied. B. J. Lowery, you can be natural around us sometime; don’t act all the time. Don’t forget, this is no school of Dramatic Arts. This is a Liberal Arts College. I may have missed some of you, but don’t feel downhearted. Space is limited, but, I promise I won’t miss you the next time. Thank you people from the bottom of my heart for letting me tear your gossip apart. Remember I’m one who sees all, hears all and tells nothing. Ha! Ha! I remain, Your Peeping Tom (Inquisitively). N. A. A. C. P. Holds Annual Campaign Drive Clark College Chapter of the N. A. A. C. P. was organized with officers elected as follows: Edward W.

Freshman Week Activities The academic year, 1946-1947, has brought many great things to the Clark Family among which are a strengthened and augmented faculty and staff, and an unusually promising group of freshmen and new students. With these assets, each of us is an ticipating a more profitable and en joyable year. Without either of these, the interesting Freshman Week which extended from September 16th through September 25th would have been impossible. The introduction of the freshmen to the College was under the competent direction of Mrs. P. F. Burney, Dean of Women and Mr. C. R. Hamilton, Dean of Men, both of whom are ex perienced newcomers to the staff. As sisting in the welcoming of the fresh men and new students were a group of juniors and seniors who returned to the campus early for that pur pose. The freshmen—some meek, some wise, some bewildered, some bold— came to Clark College from all over the country. There was much hustle and bustle with the “bother of regis tration” on September 18th and 19th. After entrance and registration, they were taken on an explanatory tour of the College and vicinity. Each stu dent was provided with a Student Guide Bulletin containing information and regulations of the College. In cluded in the bulletin were a campus directory, a list of sources of infor mation, the aims and objectives of the College, general practices and policies, dormitory regulations, academic regu lations, financial regulations, and a list of penalties to be imposed for the violation of any of the regulations of the College. Freakish attire imposed by upper classmen was a traditional part of the Freshman Week Program. This and the usual jokes associated with fresh man initiation were taken in high spirits. On Friday afternoon, September 20th, the freshmen and new students were entertained in the attractively decorated Thayer Hall Recreation Room by President and Mrs. James P. Brawley. All students who attend ed the affair were impressed and warmed by the congeniality and inter est of the President and Mrs. Braw ley. Friday night, the Snack Shop was again the setting for fun and friends. The affair, for freshmen only, includ ed music, dancing, food, and fun. With the continued adjustment of freshmen under way, a theatre party climaxed Saturday afternoon’s activities. Sunday morning found most of the freshmen in groups of newly made friends. Many attended church serv ices in the city at churches of their own choice. They not only heard in spiring religious messages but saw some of Atlanta. Sunday evening, an inspiring candle light service, planned and directed by Deans Burney and Hamilton, climaxed the activities. The service was indeed a fitting and sig nificant climax, for it inspired new students to feel and former students to remember the feeling of unity, peace, and culture of Clark College. The College Band The band of Clark College has ren dered some of the most beautiful se lections at different performances, games and concerts. The band is un der the direction of Professor Way- man A. Carver, who is an outstand ing musician. At Clark’s first game of this season, the band rendered ex cellent music for the occasion.
