IT WILL ALL COME OUT IN
THE WASH
(Continued from page seven)
he won’t wear out his quota running
from Clark to Spelman ... We won
der why rooms on third floor appeal
to Joe “I’ll-take-a-chance” Brooks . .
Stoddard goes around whistling now
that Jerome Williams has been un
able to see Ernestine . . . A certain
member of the Maroon Tiger Staff,
spend most of his time watching and
admiring Madeline Patterson. Could
that be his reason for having a class
at Spelman? .. . What three prom
inent Spelman dormitory debs have
been ordered to stay out of A. U.
Dormitory visiting the soldiein at
night? ... I say there, Cain, old boy!
What do you and “Mutt” Warner get
out of those speechless conversations
you hold during Spelman calling
hours. If you don’t have anything to
say, why not go out of doors and walk
around holding hands? What ever
you do, don’t waste her time. . . .
Say Cats! If you want to keep abreast
with the latest styles in proper men’s
wear, just watch Dudley Robert Scott,
the walking Esquire. His expertly
tapered suits, roll tab, and essex col
ors, knits and cravats in ties, English
rib sox, Jarman Shoes, Adam and
Wormser hats are tops in the good
book Esquire. What’s the secret of
your Duke of Windsor knot, Dudley,
old thing. . . . Virginia Tillman >nd
Ruby McGee are singing the theme
“Undecided” to Warren Parsons who
just can’t seem to make up his mind.
. . . Before A. Quick went to the
army, he came to us to clean up and
store his laundry. His wash told a
peculiar story. The reason he quit
Margie Callen (and she should be
ashamed) was the most interesting
saga of college romance I ever heard.
Let’s hope no one else hears the story.
Sh, Margie! . . . The following cats
need gals: Marvin Jones, Sammy
Brinson, Chas. Woodward, Fred
Chambers, Slug Jackson, Curt Ben
ton, Harold Weddington and . . .
Let’s get ’um one . . . Charles Goosby
seems to get plenty of pleasure out
of leading a double, or shall I say
triple life. Joyce Cooper the lady
from the “Road” is completely ignor
ant to the competition she is receiv
ing from Misses Jean Ward and Eli
zabeth Lee. What about that, Joyce?
... A lot of overnight romances
sprang up as a result of the soldier-
Spelman party. The boys from the
’House, however, are capable of han
dling those trival affairs. . . . Bobby
Jenkins returned to Atlanta with a
new overcoat and a yearning to see
Nadine Roberts. Was it profitable or
did you get more out of arguing with
Harriett ? . . . Preston Rosenthal
(Bubble-eyes) Wilcox is quite a ladies
man. He’s hipped to the jive and is
keeping alive by handing the ladies
a line. Thelma of Clark, Annette of
A. U., and Betty of “Bama” State
are quite interested . . . Doris Smith
and William White are in the spot
light again. They can be seen sipping
sodas most any night in the drug
store. . . . Melzetta Peterson and Rob-
by Thompson are quite like that now.
Bradley is fighting in vain now that
Jeanne Fuller and Lockhart are kid
ding around quite a bit. . . . Eleanor
Bryson and Fred Jackson are still
“KIDDING” around. They seem to be
an inseparable pair and we don’t
want any patronage from them at our
laundry. . . . Annie Laurie Butler has
made quite a nuisance of herself get
ting needlessly involved in other folks
affairs. ... I think we have washed,
rinsed, dried and bundled all the wash
for this month. If you feel that some
one has been neglected, just tell the
Ed to tip off the twins. We shall give
back all the letters we got from va
rious sources that you wrote for
$5000.00 in cash. If you don’t like our
offer, we shall print said letters im
mediately. We’re looking forward to
a juicy next issue and want plenty
of wash. Remember that whatever
dirt you sling will all come out “N”
the wash.

The members of Alpha Rho Chapter
of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity have
been pressing forward with construc
tive plans for 1943. It is expedient
that we should have some concrete
goals in our present days of turmoil.
It has been the privilege of Alpha
Rho Chapter to give up two Brothers,
so far this year, who have gone forth
into the armed services of our coun
try. These two Brothers are John B.
Turner and Johnny M. Cole. I think
that the spirit of unselfish patriotism,
with which these two men go forth to
serve our nation, very nearly approx
imates the aims of our fraternity in
these times of war. Each of our con
structive plans for the year has been
made with the idea of stressing the
place of each individual in this strug
gle for the survival of democracy.
Our “Education for Citizenship” cam
paign, which will come later in the
year, will be directed at explaining
the place of the ballot in the strug
gle for the survival of democracy. It
is the hope of the fraternity to stress
to Negroes that the ballot is of no
less importance than the gun in this
mighty battle.
