The end is near; We must part.
Some of us will be leaving Clark.
Those who leave will reflect on days gone by.
and those who return will just sigh.
No more books, instructors, or familiar faces.
We will now venture into other places.
for the summer holds many wonders.
A new job, marriage maybe, and lots of hot weather.
September will be back, and so will others;
laughing, joking, helping each other.
But for now the end is near; We must part.
All of us will be leaving Clark.

I do you a favor,

How can I be objective when I am subjective,
Whatever happens will no doubt affect me, my pride, my
integrity,
my strength, my sense to fit in and evolve. I have to be realistic,
I can’t allow my feelings,' my most inner emotions to deceive me
For you America I’ve vowed to be strong, to stand tall as a moun
tain,
and to smile even in my defeat. I’ve got to be strong survive and
come out a winner. I must schedule my life by Jesus ’ plan for me.
I have to use my time wisely, I’m certain my days are numbered.
However I must make my mark on society and donate my con
tribution
I must be a novelist and forerunner in excellence and somehow
win this race. I am free today though only in spirit and in
truth
but I must admit that I do love you America, You are indeed
the home of the brave . . .

‘The Year for
Designer
Displays
Talent
By Kent Hindsman
Panther Reporter
“There is no variation in the
way in which a black and
white designers design their
cloths, the variation comes in
the creation of the design,”
said an Atlanta black
designer.
Victor Gresham, a 19 year
old designer from the
northwest section of Atlanta
has hopes of becoming a
internationally-known
fashion designer.
Victor who has been tailor
ing for seven years and design
ing for two years, said that he
hopes to establish a boutique
for men and women in the
Atlanta area.
‘ ‘By establishing a reputable
clientele, Victor feels assured
that he can move into the
international category of
fashion designing.
“I design my clothes ac
cording to a person’s lifestyle
and personality,” Victor said.
“If a person likes that unique
look, I try to create that look
through my designing,” he
said.
Through his designing Vic
tor wants to sell his creations
to indivudals only. He said
that manufacturing goes into
many tedious processes and
that a garment values more
when sold as an original
rather than a manufacturer’s
item.
Manufacturing, Victor
states, “is a long drawn out
process which requires exten
sive amount of time by the
designer. Victor also indicated
designing for manufacturing
companies would be his last
alternative.
Victor has at the present
made some significant
achievements in the field of
fashion. He has designed
cloths for Bill Davidson
Productions, he has put on
numerous fashion shows in
nightclubs and discoes
throughout the Atlanta area.
Presently Victor is construc
ting a portfolio for the Buyers
of Paul Harris in Indiana.
“For the moment my
clientele is of no special
people,” Victor says. However
in the near future Victor hopes
to design for entertainers and
actors only.
Not only does this talented
young man knows how to
design, he draws extremely
well, play the piano and can
also sing. Commenting on his
ability Victory said, “If a
person has talent he should
use it to the best of his ability.”
Total Dressing’
By Denise L. Green
Feature Editor
Gentlemen! Have you been paying close attention to the
fashions this season? Ladies! Do you know what the latest
styles are for the spring? Well if you don’t here is a bit of in
formation that may assist you in the ever changing yet repeat
ing world of fashion.
While browsing about in some of Atlanta’s department
stores and smaller boutiques, I found the racks filled with
what appeared to be clothes our parents once wore.
First of all, ladies, our spring hats resemble those ofthe 40’s
and 50’s with anything from elastic chin bands to beaded face
nets.
Made from natural straws or manmade fibers which appear
to be straw, our hats are dynamite. This year there are hots for
the classic dresser or the out right all day disco-er.
The year of 79 is the year for total dressing, from your head
straight down to your feet.
Blouses and shirts are sheer and encompass a color range
like never before. They are tailored or loose fitting, ruffled or
collarless.
Belts can range from western styles to accompany the latest
designer jeans, to wide pieces of leather which are brightly
dyed to mix or match any outfit you desire.
Skirts . . . The motto for the skirts this year is “If you’ve got
it, flaunt it and much more.” Derndlas are still in but, legs are
out. The new slim skirt not only fits every curve but it even
splits up the front, sides and for those who dare, the back.
Just like the skirt, pants are also slim this season. The new
disco pant is simply a modified leotard pant.
Let us not forget our footwear, which despite what most
people say, tops an outfit. Candies, and not the ones we eat are
the latest craze. These are backless high or low heeled shoes
that many campus co-eds are now wearing. For those of you
who don’t like wearing the extremely high heeled shoe, there’s
hope. Fortunately the shoe industry has manufactured
everything anyone could ask for. The heels for women’s shoes
can be as low as one-fourth of an inch or as high as 4 inches.
Men, I haven’t forgotten about you, for your clothing too has
changed.
Your ties are narrow as are the collars on your shirts. This
year even the tuxedo shirt is popular but it doesn’t necessarily
have to be worn with the tuxedo.
Belts are slim and either extremely decorative or very
tailored with classic features.
Like the ladies, men’s pants are also slimmer thanlastyear
and they usually drape over the heel of the shoe.
Pleats are back, and they really give the pants a different
look for this season. Not only are the pleats making a come
back, so are the small but definite cuffs.
The three piece suit is still fashionable but the latest for spr
ing is a basic jacket and a pair of matching or contrasting
trousers.
Shoes! The heels usually range from V2 inch to IV2 inches,
(with tapered toes.)
Men you are no exception when it comes to color. Your
clothes are just as vibrant as the ladies this year. So, don’t be
shy!
