FranceniaHallls Campus Queen
Reigning as “Miss Clark” this
year is charming and poised
Francenia Hall, a senior social
science major from Miami. She
will be crowned college queen
Friday evening in the annual
coronation ceremonies.
Talented and having a special
fondness for good poetry, Miss
Hall’s role as homecoming
queen is not a new one for her.
She was elected to a similar
title at Booker T. Washington
High School in Miami and last
year became “Miss Scroller” and
“Miss Junior Class”.
She is interested in social
work and teaching, but is yet
undecided which of the two
fields she will enter after grad
uation in June.
Her attendants are Yvonne
Worthem of Atlanta and Mary
Griffin of Covington.

atre will appear at Clark on
November 5, following a tour

Panthers To Meet Tuskegee
Clark lays a record of one
loss in their last ten homecom
ing games on the line against
Tuskegee Institute this week. It
will be the second contest of the
season for the Clarkites who
played Fort Valley last week at
Griffin.
It will be the first of two
home games for the Clarkites
before they move against Ala
bama State at Montgomery on
October 25. In between, they
will meet the tough Bulldogs
of South Carolina State at Hern
don Stadium.
Clark won from Tuskegee 33-
0 last year. The Tigers have
won only two games from the
Panthers in the past ten con
tests. There were two deadlock
ed contests and the 1957 game
was cancelled by an outbreak of
flu.
“More important than statis
tics,” says Coach Epps, “is the
question of personnel injuries.
If we can get by against Fort
Valley with no injuries, we
should be in good shape for Tus
kegee next week.”
“Tuskegee has a big line and
equally big backs. They like to
pass. It should be an interesting
game, because we’ll be doing a
lot of passing ourselves,” he
said.
“Just about everybody on our
team will have to play against
Fort Valley,” added Epps, “be
cause we don’t want to leave
anybody in a game tired and
susceptible to injury. Our team
is thin, and injuries would hurt
us greatly.”
“We have a good first unit
with some developing reserves,
but in general our depth is not
nearly what it was last year.
If we can go through the season
without side-lining injuries, we
have a chance for a good season.
