Servicemen Return To Visit Clark In the familiar khaki uniforms of Uncle Sam, many Clarkites who have been inducted into the service made use of the time allotted to them for leaves to return to their former “halls of study” where they spent so many hours of hard work, socialization and participation in extra-curricular activities. The majority of them seen around the campus were graduates of recent years while others were men who had been taken out of school to be made “G. I. Joes.” Some had a good word for Army life, but many were complaining of the hardships they were facing and wishing, at the some time, for the good old days at CC. Greeting former teachers, college chums and many other friends were Raleigh Parks, Arthur Johnson, Jr., Henry Collins, Joe Morgan, Frank Odom, Richard Dukes, Carson Lee, Marshall Smith, Curtis Ash, Joseph Chambers, Wilbert Christian, Ernest Ellis, Raymond Anderson, Thomas Mann, Harold Stovall, Arthur Danner, Julius Wimby, Bennie Lowe, Elijah White, Bobby Kirby and Maurice Thompson. Some of them have been very recent visitors while others have trickled into Atlanta for short visits since the beginning of this college year. To these men in service and others the staff of the PANTHER wishes them a very Merry Christmas and a quick return to civilian life. “Hark, The Herald Angels Sing!” Eight seniors and four juniors were recently selected to be listed in the forthcoming publication of “WHO’S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES.” Front row, left to right, Dorothy Marie Hunter, Ernest Marcellus Pharr, Roger Mae Johnson and Godfrey LaFayette Tate, Jr. Sec ond row, left to right, Juanita Gideons, Jacquelin Laughlin and Addie 'Flora Brown.

X DECEMBER 21, 1953 NO. 2 Draws Record Crowd Family of Clark Athlete Here For Observance of “Robert Phillips Day” Art Exhibit Everett Unveils Remodeled Gallery The newly remodeled art gal lery in Haven-Warren Hall was the scene Sunday, December 13, of the opening of an exhibition of paintings by art instructor Ches.- tyn Everett. A record crowd of art lovers passed through the gallery from seven until ten o’clock in the evening to admire the artist’s eighteen paintings. Yvonne South- all, ’54, and Larry Jones, ’55, served as principal gallery attend ants. Other attendants were Ce cilia Brothers, Gwendolyn Fannin, Claudia Garrett, Carolyn Horton, Deborah Middleton, Rosa Leigh Osborne, Marilyn Robinson, Caro lyn Taylor, John Dudley, Jesse McClardy, Samuel Rosser, and Charles Teamer. Misses Edwina Banks, Jacque line Laughlin, and Gloria Thomas were hostesses in the reception room and served refreshments to the many guests. Among Mr. Everett’s titles were “Be:thoven Bemoaned”; “Of Rea son and Passion”; “The Enigma of Loneliness”; “Homage of Keats”; “Pursuit of Happiness”; “Tears for Tschaikowsky”; “Introspec tion”; “Hellenic Hymn”; “Where fore the Joy of Peace?”; “Adrift, and All Remembered”; “An Ode to Innocence”; and “Earth and High Heaven.” In all of these titles Mr. Everett’s meanings and interpre tations were skillfully portrayed The artist’s style cannot really be considered modern. It has over tones of classic composition and technique and a definite romanti cism in color, mood and theme. Nor is it difficult to perceive sur realistic tendencies especially in his treatment of perspective and space. Mr. Everett feels that his art , by style, has no definite classification. For, whereas he draws upon several schools of art —most heavily on the romantic, the total expression remains sin gularly “Everett.” If his art must be stylistically categorized he sug gests the name “allegorical roman ticism,” a title which he coined and which can only be understood through a visual and aesthetic contact with his work. The exhibition will extend through January 12, 1954. With the Clark College basket ball squad opening its 1953-54 sea son against Savannah State College in Joe Louis Gymnasium, December 5, “Robert Phillips Day” was ob served for the second time since the Clarkite was killed in Korea. Here for the observance was the family of the basketball captain who was graduated in 1961. The Day was inaugurated De cember 9, 1952 to commemorate Phillips who entered the service at Port Breckenridge, Kentucky. In augurated by Ernest M. Pharr, senior, the annual observance gives special significance to the first game of each basketball season. Arriving on the campus during the early afternoon hours of the Day, members of the family and friends spent a pleasant day on our campus, leaving early the next morning. An indelible impression of the manner in which “Bob” talked to the family about his fruitful and enjoyable days as an undergrad at Clark just after he was graduated and before he was inducted remained in the minds of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward The service, composed of scrip ture readings with carols of many nations was one of the features of the College’s cultural activities. Reverend Samuel P. Tate, Director of Religious Life, presented the scripture readings. Greetings were presented by President Brawley. The well-known chorus initiated its annual program with “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” for the pro cessional. The Moravian carol was first to be sung by the chorus when they harmonized “Hail Mary”. Then followed “O, Have Ye Heard the Tidings?” German: “In the Silence of the Night,” Norwegian; “0 Bethlehem,” Spanish; “The An gels Were Singing,” German; “Shepherds Now Go We,” Aus- Phillips, who said, “We are trying hard to be thankful, but sometimes it is hard.” They expressed a great depth of gratitude to persons re sponsible for the immortilization of their son. Programs recognizing the ob servance of the Day were formu lated by the Student Government Association and passed out at the game between Clark and Savannah at which the Phillips family were honored guests. After the game which the Panthers won, students, faculty and friends of the College met the family at a reception in Pfeiffer Hall. Mr. and Mrs. Phil lips met Bob’s coach, Leonidas S. S. Epps, who stated, “We lost the first ‘Bob Phillips’ Day game and it was a must to win the second.” At Clark for the observance of the Day with Mr. and Mrs. Phillips were their daughter, Carolyn; their son, Edward S. Phillips; Bob’s fiance, Iris McDonald and her sis ter, Malinda, both of whom are Clark graduates of the class of ’51; and Messrs. Michael and Wallace Elliott. trian; “Is This the Road to Beth lehem?”, Italian; “Good Neighbor, Tell Me,” Flemish; “Sleep My qi ee p ; » Dutch; and “Noel,” American. In conjunction with the packed enthusiastic audience, the Choir also sang such familiar Christmas carols as “O Little Town of Beth lehem”; “The First Noel” and a hymn, “Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning.” For the con cluding number and choral response the well-trained choir sang the tra ditional, “Go Tell It on the Moun tain.” Philharmonic Society Presented In Annual Christmas Carol Vesper The Clark College Philharmonic Society, under the direction of Dr. J. deKoven Killingsworth, was presented in its annual Christmas Carol Vesper on Sunday, December 20 at 4:00 P.
