Clark lays a record of one loss in their last eleven homecoming
games on the line against Savannah on October 24. It will be the
fourth contest of the season for the Clarkites who played South Caro
lina last week at Orangeburg. It will be the first of two home games
for the Clarkites before they move against Alabama State at Mobile
on November 14 for the “Claver
Classic”.
Clark won from Savannah 45-
8 last year. Savannah State has
only played Clark once in a home
coming game and was defeated
28-12. This was in 1959.
“More important than statis
tics.” says Coach Epps, “is the
question of personnel injuries,” we
should be in good shape for the
Savannah game.
It should be an interesting
game, because Clark will be doing
a lot of passing.
“We have a good first unit with
some developing reserves, but in
general our depth is as good or
better than it was last year. If we
can go through the season with
out side-lining injuries, we have a
chance for a good season.”
Annual SGA Retreat;
Co-ed Elected President
THE SGA RETREAT—A group of students and faculty members spent a week
end at Lake Allatoona to plan activities for the coming school year.
Largest In History
Clark Welcomes
Freshman Class
September 6, 1964 the doors
of Clark College were opened to
330 incoming freshmen. They
were anxious to begin a new
chapter in their lives; one that
would lead to some rewarding ex

women were full of determination
to make this adventure success

class to enter Clark College in its
history. They came here from
various regions of the United
States and its territories: as far
east as New York, as far north
west as Wisconsin, as far west as
Texas, and as far south as Florida
and the Virgin Islands.
In the short period of time that
they have been on campus they
have become active in various ac
tivities. They have had their first
class meeting in which they elect
ed their officers: Rudolph Jack-
son, president; Isadore Lee, vice-
president; and Vernelle Smith,
secretary. They are making plans
for a busy and impressive year.
They hope to show Clark College
how ideal they are.
Some freshmen are also in
volved in the governing of the
student body. Several of them at
tended the S.G.A. Retreat and
are now serving on committees.

prominent in the sports events of
the year. Twenty-two of the 1964
Panthers are freshmen. They are:
David Champion, tackle, Atlanta;
Richard Bolton, end, Atlanta;
William Peoples, guard, Birming
