PAGE TWO CLARK PANTHER, NOVEMBER, 1950, ATLANTA, GEORGIA Clark To Present Annual First Formal ‘‘Panther Frolic” Thursday Dance Held By Harold Barrett In 1948, Clark College pre sented a musical production, which was a highly praised suc cess. Those who saw it will never forget it. Although the songs and lyrics were not original, the par ticipation of the students with their versatile talents, and the members of the faculty who worked hard to produce the scenes, which were STUDENT OF THE MONTH The PANTHER resumes its presentation of the “student of the month” series. The student presented each month is selected by the staff on the basis of scholarship, person ality, special ability, talent and outstanding contributions to the Clark College family. For this edition the staff has chosen William L. Stanley. Stanley was an honor student at Trinity High School of Athens, Alabama. He has maintained a high scholas tic average during his three years at Clark. Stanley’s major is Social Science, his minor is Secondary Education. He is vice-president of the Senior Class, president of the Clark Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society, and was recently initiated into the Alpha Kappa Delta National Sociological Fra ternity. Last year Mr. Stanley was candidate for student council presi dent. He is a member of the Social Science Club. His hobby is photog raphy. built around the tunes, made the “Panther Frolic” a part of Clark College which will never die. In 1949, due to numerous diffi culties the presentation of another frolic was not attempted. This de cision was disheartening to many of those who had dreamed of hav ing a “49 Frolic.” At this writing the rehearsals of scenes for the 1950 “Frolic” are weeks under way. The story, songs, dances, and the lyrics are all fresh, unique, witty and exhilirating. The play is definitely the property of the Clark College family, which includes fac ulty and students. On opening night, when the spec tators read over their programs, they will see in bold, black type: book and lyrics by M. Carl Hol man, music by Wayman Carver, costumes by Mrs. Thelma B. Ander son, designs by Arthur Sherrod, and dances by Miss Marguerite Johnson and Mrs. Thelma Allison. As they continue to scan their programs, they will see the names of the directors, supervisors and numerous assistants, all members of the Clark family, who are work ing diligently and consistently to make every scene, every song and every movement, nothing short of perfection. The success of this musical play is assured with such a fine group of directors and supervisors at the helm; and with such a hard work ing, optimistic and faithful stu dent body to supply the power. If I were able to look into the future, we might visualize in the morning issue of the papers, fol lowing the production something to this effect: “Clark College pro duces smash musical hit.” Well, we’ll see what the future will bring. But there is no doubt that we very definitely have some thing to look forward to, and something that we will be proud of—‘The Panther Frolic of 1950.” The first Clark College Formal Dance was held on Saturday night October 21, 1950. This first formal of the year was held in the dining hall and in the recreation room of Thayer Hall. Colored lights in the hanging chandeliers along with potted palms around the walls, and the colors of the evening dresses of the young ladies made the affair a very col orful one. We were delighted and fortunate to have Herb Lance, the noted singer, stop in and display for us the talent which has given him his fame. “Disc Jockey” Jack Gibson of WERD also stopped in. Another feature of a dance was a “Grand March” led by Dean Charlton Ham ilton. While the “Grand March” was in progress souvenirs were dis tributed by Miss Margaret Aiken and Dean Harold Mazyck. Miss Juanita Marshall, recently crowned “Miss Clark,” attended the dance attired in a beautiful red net dress with a black velvet top. Her slippers were of black velvet with rhinestone insets. Throughout the evening a de licious frappe prepared by the Home Economics Club was served. Music for the occasion was fur nished by the Troubadours. Dept. Of The Arts Exhibit The Division of the Arts at Clark College under the supervision of Arthur D. Sherrod presented on November 18th an exhibition of Serigraphs. Serigraphs are silk screen prints—a special form of the graphic arts. The showing was held in the Art Studio of the Clark Haven-Warren Administra tion Building. Mr. Sherrod, head of the Art De partment at Clark, secured the prints on loan from the National Serigraph Society with headquar ters in New York City. Campus Chatter By—Well, Never Mind Who Ladies and Gents, Guys and Gals, are you in the know? Well, if you aren’t, here’s a little inside dope on what’s happening around this lil’ ole campus. Say, did you know that our S.C.P. is running things quite smoothly? Most peo ple are unable to handle the office of P.S.C. and two young ladies, at the time time—Yeah, we know, M.G. is 1-A with you. Stop your biddings girls, the auction is off. At last Mr. C. F. has picked one young lady out, from the many bidders, or so it seems, Miss S. G. was the lucky winner . . . What’s your bid, Sam . . . Ole Lying Sam . . . yeah boy, we got your number . . . you rascal you, you aren’t much of a devil as you pretend to be, is he, I.A. ? Well, folks, it’s started again; that ole “quit and go back” game. The game that nobody plays better than J.C. and J.N. . . . We’re wait ing to see what St. Nick will bring. From where we sit it looks like it’s all over now . . . Time out to say “There’s a shortage of men around here, and it’s geting to be quite a problem. Could it be that the freshman class contributed boys in stead of young men? Come on fel lows, get wise! Congratulations, Dukes! We admire your initiative. You have a very nice variety of members, some are clinging vines and some are rambling roses, hah! . .. Ding! Dong! .. . Wedding bells ? It’s a known fact that J.J. from the Bronx. We’re hoping to be in- proposed to the fair maiden from vited to the blessed event, I mean, the wedding. We’re wondering if we need our glasses changed or are we really seeing right. Was it really W.S. strolling with a major ette some nights back? What’s to it, D.A.? . . . The “Bonus Baby” has become a very likable chap. I wonder why so many young lad ies have begun to take notice? . . . Maybe it’s because of his athletic prowess. Is that so P.P.? Another couple has been added to the roster of the C.C.C.P.’s. (Clark College Clock Punchers), none other than D.L. and F.O. ... A cute combination, huh? . . . We thought for a while that D.S. was one of C.J.’s fans, but we see that she has made a change. Holding hands with a Sphinxman now, isn’t she? . . . H.T. fooled a lot of peo ple, including us. We thought her love for A.J. wouldn’t last, not past a certain time anyway. Well, she’s still holding on to him even if she does “stray from the fold” at times . . . D.L.S., we’ve been waiting an awfully long time to say that you finally settled down. We now announce that we give up all hope for you, for we have con cluded that you will always be the same. Or will you? Moon! A little more attention to your love life would be quite in order . . . Y.A. and A.V. come on, show us you can make a go of it ... H. W., what in the world has happened to that torch you were carrying so high at the beginning of the year for V.? Oh, yes, we know, J.H. makes a much brighter flame . . . An ex ample of the “clinging vine” Duke. Don’t dare let us down . . . This time it’s for keeps, isn’t it T.F. and C.J. . . . B.L. and N.T. also . . . We like to see you so happy . . . Please forgive us for leaving you out this time, we just could’t print that sort of thing, even in this column. But don’t worry, if you do something nice your name and your heroic deeds will get at tention.
