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. CLASS NEWS #r>-' 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.

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. andi photographer and should be mailed to the Campus Merchandis ing Bureau, Inc., 274 Madison Ave nue, New York 16, New York.
