Campus Community Chest Drive
Ranks 1st Among Undergrad Colleges
Raising a total of $762.00, Clark
College ranked first among the un
dergraduate colleges of Atlanta in
the annual Community Chest Drive
which was terminated recently.
The College campaign, headed by
Registrar Edward J.’Brantley, was
second only in the University Sys
tem to Atlanta University which
contributed more than $800.
The Atlanta Negro Division of
the Drive, headed by our own
President James P. Brawley, was
a tremendous success—going over
the top in total contributions never
before realized in the Drive.
Dr. and Mrs. Brawley made the
largest single contributions to the
Drive. Dr. "Brawley came through
with a personal gift .of $125.00
while Mrs. Brawley canvassed the
city for this worthy cause, and
from her efforts, she turned over
$26 to the Clark cause. Other indi
vidual contributors were Mr. Grant
Adams, Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. El
sie Lamar.
The Faculty^ and Staff came
through to lead all other phases
of Clark’s efforts as they reported
$318.75. Also contributing were the
College’s maintenance workers and
custodians who reported $27.00.
In class competition, the fresh
men ranked first, sophomores sec
ond, seniors third and juniors
fourth. Greek-letter organizations
contributing, wholeheartedly, were
Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma
Theta and Zeta Phi Beta Sorori
ties; Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega
Psi Phi Fraternities; Beta Phi Zeta
Biological and Iota Beta Chemical
Societies. Other organizations con
tributing were the Young Wom
en’s Christian Association, the
Home Economics Department and
the Women’s Ensemble.
An interesting fact in the Drive
is that Dean of Men Charlton
Hamilton worked with two differ
ent groups, and was able to get
full cooperation from them—each (Lowe Photo)
doing its share in meeting its
quota.
Student workers in the Drive
were Elizabeth Campbell, Norman
J. Johnson, Wallace S. Hartsfield,
Ernest M. Pharr, Mamie Toland,
John W. O’Neal, Alva Epps, John
Dudley, and Sandra Shepherd.
COMMUNITY CHEST WORKERS are pictured above at one of their meetings mapping
plans for the annual Drive which ended successfully. The campus drive, headed by Regis
trar Edward J. Brantley, ranked first among undergraduate colleges of Atlanta. —

All-SIAC Squads Members Study -VErt-SUS JElrEllvE IVlliE 8
Followers of pigskin warfare at
Clark College during the past year
rushed to the newsstands and oth
er places for their Sunday morn
ing, November 29, copy of the “At
lanta Daily World” and were
pleased to find that three mem
bers of this year’s Cardinal and
Black football squad had been se
lected for all-conference honors.
The three were Offie Clark, Joe
Hart and Charles Stinson.
The “Atlanta Daily World”
sports staff, headed by Marion
Jackson, published this year’s All-
SIAC squad after extensive scout
ing and scrutinization of the listed
player’s who are said to be a
“coaches dream” and compose a
“million-dollar” squad.
Offie Clark, known for his Hou-
dini antics and antelope running at
quarterback, was selected as first
team All-SIAC quarterback.
Charles Stinson, junior end, was
selected second team right end for
his offensive and defensive exploits
this season. Big Joe Hart, the only
freshman to make the Panther
starting eleven, was named second
team guard as a result of his
“brute-strength” and impressive
performance on the squad this past
season.
(For complete Panther statistics,
watch for the Xmas edition of
“The Panther.”)
Twelve members of Clark Col
lege’s faculty matriculated at lead
ing universities during the past
summer. Receiving degrees at the

Gammon Theological Seminary;
and Mrs. Eva S. Martin of the
Personnel Department who re
ceived the Master of Arts degree

sin respectively.
At the University of Chicago

CLARK GRADUATES
Rev. George A. Tate, ’48, who
holds the B. D. from Gammon
Theological Seminary is the new
Director of Religious Life and
AM-firiKoa anrl teacher of Religion.
Many Clarkites and neutral fans were of the belief that this was the
year for the Eppsmen who had displayed a flashy, deceptive, quick-strik
ing backfield and a hard charging, bruising line, coupled with analytic
and expert coaching, and rigid training during the playing season. But,
the 200 pound-plus line of Morris Brown and its jet-propelled 1 backs
were much more than the valiant Panthers could cope with.
From the opening kick-off, Clark
rooters were momentarily verified
in their belief that the Panthers
“had it” when Offie Clark returned

Using as a subject, “What Is It
To Grow?”, Dr. Thomas said that
“we should grow into the kind of
personalities seeing us and know
ing us would want to emulate.”
He pointed out two areas of
growth—growth in wisdom, which
he said came not from the col
lection of facts, but through wres
tling with great ideas; and growth
in stature. “It is not so much that
we understand the ideas with
which we wrestle, but that we grow
in the process”, he asserted.
The speaker concluded with the
proposition that “there is no real
separation between the higher
learning and religion” since both
aim toward the growth of man.
Other worship speakers have
been Walter Willis, Jr., senior and
an aspirant for the pastorate; Dr.

With Offie Clark under the “T”,
the Eppsmen took the kickoff on

backfield, they could push no fur

Clark punted to the MBC 25 in an

the Panthers saw it was on anoth

However, the end of the first
quarter caught the Wolverines
who were in the act of scoring.
