Volume XXVII, No. 1 panther CLARK COLLEGE, ATLANTA, GEORGIA October, 1963 HOMECOMING! Francenia to reign over homecoming. 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. Dance Group Listed For Nov. Program The Alvin Ailey Dance The atre will appear at Clark on November 5, following a tour in Brazil under the President’s Special International Program for Cultural resentation.

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. Speakers Announced Social Relations Institute Established ulty members.
