If
Seniors, dear Seniors
We are proud of you.
Four years at Clark
For you are almost
through.
Yes, we are proud and we
will grieve
If you leave, IF you leave.
From Freshman to Senior is a
long, long way, especially if you
are the one making the trip. It
becomes quite short, however,
when, after climbing the long
and winding stairs, you open the
door and you are graduating.
This year 108 Clarkites have
had the good fortune to make it
to the top step of that climb.
Now the pressure is on!
Mr. Joseph Robinson was
probably chosen as class presi
dent because of his ability to do
an excellent job under such pres
sure. He is a Chemistry major
from Dixie, Georgia and he is
an honor roll student. It will be
his duty to guide the activities
of the extremely busy Seniors,
in such a way as to leave an in
delible impression on the lower
classmen, and a feeling of pride
in the hearts of those who will
be leaving our campus in June
as graduates.
Because of their previous
achievements we will be watch
ing the honor roll for the names
of such scholarly persons as
Miss Brenda Allen, Miss Addie
Shropshire, Mr. Hewitt Mat
thews, Mr. William Gordon,
Miss Hawnethia Mitchell, the
president himself, and many
others. The former Senior class
es have produced some startling
results at honor roll time and
from all indications, the Class of
’66 will be no exception. Last
semester thirty-two members of
the graduating class made the
honor roll and seventeen mem
bers of this year’s Senior class
made it. At the end of the sec
ond semester we will be expect
ing the Seniors to have doubled
this number.
Although I began this article
with that silly little verse, I am
hardly laughing. Others will not
laugh either if they will remem
ber that everyone will have his
day—or will not.
The very best of luck to you,
Seniors!
Case of the Phantom
President
Who is the president of the
Junior class? I wish I knew.
Whom I thought it is, it is not
and whom I did not think it is, it
is not either. I thought I knew
the young man well, but I did
not. They say that he is from
Birmingham, Alabama, but I do
not know. Why would anyone
from Birmingham refuse to be
interviewed?
I do know who Miss Aundra
Golden is, though. She is the
member of the Junior class who
participated in the 1965 pro-
gra i of Operation Crossroads
Africa. For eight weeks this
summer, Aundra and a group of
other “Crossroaders” lived in
the village of Olodo in Nigeria.
Aundra assisted in the building
of a postal agency there. I won-
RCA Scholarship
Awarded Senior
The First Four Hundred
The first four hundred stu
dents to register at Clark this
year have something very much
in common: they are all Fresh
men. The class of ’69 has begun
as one of the largest entering
classes in Clark’s ninety-seven
years. However, this is not, by
any means, the only distinguish
ing characteristic of this class.
Indeed, it is outstanding in many
ways!
For instance, what other class
would have chosen Mr. George
Tripp as its president? See?
Tripp possesses all of the better
qualities that a class president
should have. He is an intelligent,
dignified, and soft-spoken young
man whose every action be
speaks gentlemanliness—at least
that is how he is while being in
terviewed—and those are won
derful qualifications for swaying
that tremendously powerful fe
male vote. Seriously though, he
appears to be a very promising
new Clarkite. He is from
Greensboro, Georgia and is ma
joring in Music.
The Freshman class as a
whole is well worth keeping an
eye on in his estimation. When
asked to describe his class, he
used the terms “vivacious,” “in
terested,” “studious,” and “ag
gressive.” Among his class nota
bles he listed a bright, new
singing group known as “The
Individualists” and a very tal
ented pianist, Miss Susan Mitch
ell. It might also be mentioned
that approximately one-fourth
of the class members are here on
academic • scholarships, 101 to
be exact. Thirteen of these are
National Achievement Awards.
There are also nineteen Fresh
men here on athletic scholar
ships and three have Pre-Phar
macy scholarships.
In characterizing the upper
classmen, Tripp’s adjectives were
“helpful” and “encouraging.”
For the compliment we, the lat
ter 523, say to “The First Four
Hundred”: Good luck!
der if she knows who the presi
dent of the Junior class is?
If she does not, maybe Miss
Audrey Thomas could tell me.
Audrey is studying this year at
Wellesley, a liberal arts college
for women at Wellesley, Massa
chusetts. She was chosen as its
guest Junior from Clark on the
basis of her high scholastic
achievement here at Clark.
I am sure that whomever the
Phantom President is and wher
ever he may be, he would like
to say congratulations to Miss
Carolyn Cochran for the superb
manner in which she represented
the class during Homecoming.
The bitter taste of defeat was a
little bit sweeter with her bright
smile beaming in the crowd.
Besides locating and identify
ing their president, the mighty
Juniors are (at this time) only
anticipating the reorganization
of that excellent singing group
from Brawley Hall. Come on
fellows, shape up for us!
Thus concludes this episode
of “The Case of the Phantom
President.” I hope I will have
solved this case by next issue.
Greekdom Reports
Greeting From the Men of Kappa
Mr. William Gordon, a senior
in the department of physics has
been awarded a R. C. A. Schol
arship providing an annual stip
end of $800.00. The Radio Cor
poration of America awards
these limited scholarships to well
qualified and intelligent students
in the United States Colleges
and universities. RCA feels that
progress of the electronic indus
try is directly related to the sup
ply of competent and creative
scientific and engineering per
sonnel. In turn, this supply is
dependent on the quality and
number of teachers who will in
struct boys and girls in the scien
tific courses.
Moses Leads
Sophomores
Though far from being in the
Wilderness, the Sophomore class
has enlisted the wise and capa
ble leadership of a Moses—Mr.
Harold Moses. Moses is (quite
appropriately) a Business Ad
ministration major from New-
nan, Georgia. He has the calm
and quiet self-assurance and the
manly sophistication so neces
sary in his position. Adding
modesty to his already extensive
list of personal qualities, he at
tributes much to his “convivial,”
“perspicacious,” “stoically de
termined,” and “indefatigable”
class.
Having braved the trials and
tribulations of the Freshman
year, Moses speaks for his class
mates in giving the following ad
vice to this year’s Freshmen: “In
life there are only a few steps in
the right direction. I think col
lege is one of those steps. Stu
dents can continue in this direc
tion if they are dedicated, but if
they are blatant and puerile they
are soon eradicated. BE AL
MOST ANYTHING YOU
WANT TO BE AS A PERSON,
BUT AS A STUDENT BE SE
RIOUS.” Very well said, in
deed! This may well be the best
advice that you will receive from
your schoolmates, Freshmen, so
weigh it carefully.
It has been good advice for
the Sophomores. They point
with pride to their accomplish
ments, so far. Moses further re
commends that we all watch
Eugene Rhodes in sports this
year, Leroy Slade in scholarship,
and Rudolph Jackson in (?) so
cial affairs. The Charlemonts, a
female singing group organized
last year, will also be worth
watching and listening to (along
with others) on a Sophomore
talent show coming up in the
near future. The Sophomores

The men of Gamma Kappa
Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi
Fraternity, Inc., extend a cordial
greeting to the student body of
Clark College.
The brothers began the year
with their annual “Evening with
the Kappas,” with the young
ladies of Clark College as their
guests. This occasion turned out
to be quite a warm and prosper
ous event for the brothers and
the beautiful young ladies who
attended.
As usual, the men of Kappa
are setting the pace in their avid
desire to maintain their purpose
of achievement.
Ernest Moore, Polemarch, is
presently president of the high
ly popular Young Democratic
Club, and administrative aide to
the S. G. A.’s president.
Joseph Robinson is actively
guiding the Senior Class to new
heights and endeavors as their
elected leader. He is also Pres,
of the Chemistry Club and a re
cent participant in the National
Science Foundation Undergrad
uate Research Program, Central
State College.
Hewitt Matthews, an out
standing chemistry major, for
mer Who’s Who among students
in American Colleges and Uni
versities, and Vice Pres, of the
S. G. A., is the second student
from Clark to enroll at the
Southern College of Pharmacy
of Mercer University.
As usual, the men of Kappa
are represented in the field of
sports by one of their brothers,
Craig Morgan.
Achievement is their purpose.
Gamma Kappa Chapter boasts,
from the fact that 83% of the
present brothers were on the
honor roll last semester. Among
them were R. Briggs and J. May.
Yes, the men of KAY are
often limited, but never dupli
cated.
Zeta Review
The life of Psi Chapter, Zeta
Phi Beta Sorority has been
filled with joyous and memo
rable events since the return of
their members in September.
The Zetas opened their social
year with a Rush Party-Social
Hour with the Freshmen girls
as special guests. Afterwards,
the entire Clark family joined
them for the first dance of Clark
College’s social season.
The regal quality that all Zeta
women possess is being brilliant
ly exemplified on Clark’s camp
us by three of her members.
Soror Arcie Bennett holds the
title of “Miss UNCF” for the
school year of 1965-66 as Soror
Joethel Cooper reigns as “Miss
Sigma” and Soror JoAnne Har
vey as her first attendant.
The Zetas also participated in
the SGA Retreat for 1965-66
with Soror JoAnne Harvey
chairing the Courtesy Commit
tee, while Sorors Mary Williams
and Joethel Cooper acted as
secretaries for other committees.
Zetas work at Clark and later
go on to work for Clark in up
holding its name as in the cases
of their spiritual life and aca
demic life.
“Zeta is the Life!”
