CHESTERFIELD
REPRESENTATIVE
Harold Hamilton, Junior, of
Charleston, South Carolina, was re
cently appointed to serve as cam
pus representative for Chesterfield
cigarettes. This begins Hamilton’s
third year as Clark representative
for Chesterfields.
Hamilton also serves as campus
salesman for Globe Personalized
Stationery. Concerning the posi
tion he states that it has given
him a great deal of experience in
salesmanship. Hamilton states that
he has to date sold sets of station
ery to over 150 persons on and
around the Clark campus, and that
the market has hardly been tapped.
APPOINTED CAMEL
REPRESENTATIVE
Marshall Smith, Junior, of Gas
tonia, North Carolina, was recently
appointed by the makers of Camel
Cigarettes to serve as campus rep
resentative at Clark College. This
is the first time Camel Cigarettes
has had a campus representative
on the Clark campus.
The duties of the Camel Repre
sentative is to distribute Camel
samples and otherwise promote the
sale of Camel Cigarettes.
To all students the editors extend
an invitation to contribute to the
PANTHER any news, personal
views, suggestions and criticisms
that will further carry out the in
tentions of the PANTHER.
This year it is the intention of
the editors to promote more student
participation and contributions to
the PANTHER.
Formerly the entire paper was
the work of too few students, in
many instances all the work was
done by the staff with few students
contributing. The trend now is to
get away from that. Obviously, you,
the students are the determining
factor in the type of paper edited,
for it is from you that student opin
ion is obtained, and in editing a
goood college newsjaper student
opinion plays a major role.
One of the aims of the PANTHER
is to act as “an instrument for fos
tering friendly and constructive
criticism of acmpus activities.” Of
all the purposes of the PANTHER
this is the one considered by the
editors to be of most importance,
for the PANTHER is your voice,
through it you can criticize as a
group or as an individual, any cam
pus activity, that in your opinion
is not operating up to the standards
you deem necessary to promote the
welfare of the student. Certainly
there are among the students here,
persons who have criticisms and
suggestions concerning campus ac
tivities. Voice your sentiments.
Another aim of the paper is to
serve as, “A promoter of schoos’
spirit by encouraging projects and
efforts among student groups and
individual students.” In supporting
this the PANTHER wil advertise
and endorse any constructive effort
on the part of the students of the
college—any effort that agrees with
the policy of the paper concerning
student welfare. The PANTHER
will publish at all times any student
opinions.
In carrying out the two aims
cited above, the third will auto
matically be carried out. “A medi
um through which an opportunity
is provided for students to obtain
experience in news-gathering, re
porting, book reviewing, editorial
and creative writing.”
In editing the PANTHER the edi
tors consider the opinion and wel
fare of students as being of utmost
importance.
PERSONNEL DEPT.
PRESENTS COFFEE
HOUR
This year the Men’s Personnel
Department has gone all out to pre
sent a more active social life for
the men of the college.
The first step in this direction
was the presentation of a “coffee
hour” for all classes in their re
spective order.
To add to the family atmosphere,
President and Mrs. James Brawley,
Dean McPheeters, and other mem
bers of the faculty were invited
to come and meet the young men
of the college.
The affair was quite a success. The
favorable comments from both stu
dents and faculty members proves
that such social activities would
lead 1 to an even greater family
spirit at Clark.
Dean Hamilton and Assistant
Dean Mazyck of the personnel de
partment are to be congratulated
for this splendid program which
they have outlined for the year
50-51.

Juniors
A new force has come into exis
tence, a force which would make
the atomic bomb seem very small
in comparison; a force which con
tains the combined talents of men
such as Washington, Lincoln, Roose
velt, Churchill and other outstand
ing leaders of the world. This force
is none other than the Junior class
of the year 1950-51.
The members of the Junior class
are firm believers in the Clark Col
lege motto: “Second to None,” con
sequently they strive to makf
every-thing they do the very es
sence of perfection. As members of
the Junior class we have a large
responsibility; we accept it and
out this responsibility to the extent
that those who are counting on us,
can always look back at the Junior
class of 50-51 and “well done.”
Realizing that in order for a class
to function properly, there must be
leaders to conduct the class through
the year, elections were held and
and very capable leaders were
placed in the drivers seat. Those
elected were as follows: President,
Nathaniel Thomas; Vice President
Larkin Bell; Secretary, Avis Car
ver; Treasurer, Bennie Lowe; Re
porter, Harold Hamilton; Business
Manager, Dorothy Garrison; Repre
sentatives to Student Council, Vi
enna Thorne and Marshall Smith;
Chaplain, Rev, W. S. Winston.
With these captains at the wheel,
we, the Juniors of the year 50-51,
accept the challenge which the
world issues us—the challenge to
“make good.”
You will find the Junior class
well represented in all activities on
campus. Its members are prominent
not only in scholastic achievements,
but achievements in the line of ex
tracurricular activities. Honor rolls,
scholastic societies, fraternities, so-
Seniors
By RODNEY REED
Three years ago this class began
its life here at Clark College; a life
that was destined to be one of the
most fruitful lives that has ever
been or will ever be enjoyed by a
group of individuals.
Coming to Clark in that beauti
ful month of September in the year
nineteen hundred forty-seven, we
were determined to give the best
we had to our chosen institution
of matriculation; and this we did,
for never has a class shown more
spirit and manifested more initia
tive and ingenuity than this, the
Senior Class of ’51.
Embarking on our fourth and
final year we have started the year
with a bang. Our officers are:
Horace Scott, President; William
Stanley, Vice-President; Lois Rich
ardson, Secretary; Gerald Johnson,
Treasurer; Johnnie Jones, Business
Manager; Robert Hawk, Chaplain;
Rodney Reed, Reporter to the
PANTHER; Representatives to
the Student Council, Ethel Watkins
and Charles Willoughby; Chairman
of Social Committee; Eula Jones;
Chairman of Program Committee,
Murtha T. Williams.
Since actions speak louder than
words we beseech you Freshmen,
Sophomores, and Juniors to “watch
our smoke,” but be careful not to
get smoke in your eyes or get
burned by our ever-constant flame,
for surely we will not lessen the
pace we have set. Need we say
more?
rorities, musical organizations and
any other activity to be found on
the campus, can boast of its active
Junior members.
We, the Junior class, have a proud
heritage and we shall uphold it
and present it greatly improved to
the class which will follow us.

FRESHMAN
VIEWS
By Ernest M. Pharr
Clark College, Second to None!
This was what we, the freshman
class felt, as we stepped out of the
cabs or buses to venture into a
new phase of life—college life.
We were truly impressed from
the start before seeing the inside
of the buildings, as the modernistic
appearance of the Clark campus
struck us with awe.
We were met by courteous and
friendly freshman guides who filled
us with advice, and introduced us
to our new family—the Clark fam
ily.
The veteran members of the
Clark family have been very friend
ly and helpful to us in making us
feel a part of Clark and Clark a
part of us. We are grateful to
them and the faculty for the tours,
dances, candlelight service, and all
the other experiences that have
made us a part of Clark. We shall
show our gratitude to you by be
ing model students, and remember
ing that we are a part of a family
of a great institutions which is
Second to None—Clark.
