Beckett: “Washington, he was first in war, first in—”
Teacher: “No, No, Adam was the first man.”
Beckett: “Oh, if you’re talking of foreigners, I s’pose

“Doctor, how do you live to be so old and rich?”
“By writing prescriptions, but never taking them,”
was his witty reply.
The preachers who write and commit their sermons
are the ones who practice what they preach.

and figures to convince him he is wrong.

Mary had a little lamb
She put him on the shelf
Every time he wagged his tail
He spanked his little self.
There were two Chinamen
Both their names were Loui
They decided to spend the rest of their lives eating
chop-suey
They ate, ate, ate, and ate
Until finally their died
I guess they both ended their lives
By committing chop-sueycide.
The less a man knows, the easier it is to convince him

MOREHOUSE AND SPELMAN STUDENTS
PRESENT ANNUAL CHRISTMAS
CAROL CONCERT
(Continued from Page 8)
and glee clubs only added to the intensity of this de
velopment. The program was very skillfully arranged
by Mr. Harreld and consisted of Old English and Old
German Melodies, a number of Negro Spirituals, and
other carols. All of which made direct contribution
toward exemplifying the real Christmas spirit.
Numbers of outstanding interest were: The March of
the Magi Kings by Du Bois; Snow Bound Mountain, a
Russian melody; and Slille Nacht, a German melody. In
The March of the Magi Kings, one hears the tread of
the camels of the Wise Men as thev follow the Star to
Bethlehem. The tread of the camels is represented by
short bass notes, and the Star is represented by a high,
sustained note.
The two numbers, Mary Had a Little Baby, and First
Noel, rendered by the Morehouse and Spelman quartets,
respectively, were excellent additions to the concert.
I he program ended with Hail to the Lord’s Anointed,
an Old English melody. The entire audience joined
in singing. The blending of this number of the pos
sibly 800 voices that were present seemed to have been
a whole-hearted invitation to the much celebrated day
that was just four days away.
