Professor Wayman Carver Back in 1928, as a Clark College senior, Wayman Carver put together some very talented student musicians and called them “The Collegiate Ramblers." Specializing in that brand of jazz peculiar to the area, the "Ramblers" became one of the “hottest” A group from Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin, were visitors on Clark campus during the week of March 21-27. One of groups who visited Clark campus on March 25-April 5. Three Groups Visit the Campus little bands in the city. Clarkites of that day, when they recall campus dances and the Rambler jazzed-up football pep meetings, probably picture very clearly this group. There is no group on the campus now as counterpart to the famous “Ramblers,” but Wayman Carver’s musicians, now replaced with the more “dignified" flutes, oboes, french horns, etc., still stir the spirits of music lovers who come en- masse each time they hear the Clark Concert Band is going to give a performance. Mr. Carver is a graduate of Clark College and has served as instructor and Associate Professor of Music since 1942, following a stand with the late Chich Webb's orchestra. This experience, coupled with his own likes and the time in which he learned his music, and his formal study along classical lines, served to make him the versatile musician that he is. Mr. Carver's first concert at Clark took place in Davage Auditorium in the spring of 1943. It was huge success and marked the beginning of a long series of distinguished perfor mances which never fail to draw capacity audiences. There are two instrumental music organizations at Clark— the Marching Band and the Concert Band. To the tune of Carver’s “Hail, Roaring Pan thers,” with prancing majorettes leading the way down the field, the marching band has been the delight of Clarkites and Clark fans for many years. The department’s record in fulfilling its objective of turn ing out school music teachers is outstanding. In the Atlanta area alone there are a dozen or so former band members who direct music at elementary and high school. Mr. Carver has worked un tiringly with many Clark stu dents and the band to make Clark the kind of institution it is today. We hope you have many more years of success, Mr. Car ver.

J. WEEKS National Alumni President Psi Chapter Phi Beta Sigma “A past to cherish, a future to fulfill” This quotation is very applicable to the men of Sigma.

The brothers of Psi Chapter have accepted this impressive chal lenge. At this date we do not claim to be national celebrities but we do claim we are con tributing to prosperity. We are unequivocally above reproach. In the academic area we are second to none for the majority of the brothers of Psi Chapter made the honor roll. In addition the brothers of Psi Chapter have tried to cater to the interests of the Clark fami ly by bringing into our midst two outstanding speakers. These noble Sigma scholars were Brother Dr. C. V. Troup, Pres ident of Fort Valley College and Brother Dr. Von D. Mizell. Moreover the brothers of Psi Chapter have participated in many civic activities. Brother Ben Brown, Student Government Association presi dent 1961 and Student move ment leader, is running for the State Legislature from the 135th District. The brothers of Psi Chapter are pushing Brother Brown on to victory. Since the Brothers of Psi Chapter believe every Sigma man is an active Sigma man, they are constantly being praised for their many achieve ments. Brother Elmer Mixon has been elected to the All City and All Conference Football Team for the last three years. Brother Pellin Cuadra has been using his professional skill as our school photographer.

Brother James Graham was a delegate to the United Nations Assembly held at the University of North Carolina.
