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 (Continued on page 6) 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!” Delta in the Spotlight The Sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority have returned to the campus with a wealth of ex periences, honors, and services to share with the Clark College family. Soror Brenda Allen spent a most profitable summer studying at Harvard University. Sorors Lillie Harden, Dallas Turnipseed and Orien Reid ren dered efficient services to the personnel department as Fresh men'Guides during Freshmen Orientation Week. Soror Har den distinguished herself as Chairman of the Guides. Appearing on the Dean’s List for the second semester of 1965 were Sorors Brenda Allen, Jac queline Culver, Marie Banks, Joyce Williams, and Orien Reid.
