Morehouse Presents
“A Sea Of Charm”
By Charles Jackson, Jr.
The history of homecoming activities in any college is
usually long, vivacious and besieged with beauty. When it
comes to elegance, homecoming at Morehouse defied no
rules of history. But our homecoming activities added
another word, innovation, which was the basis of our
electrifying success.
First of all, the Corona
tion was the matrix for this
newness. It was a Specta
cular Fashion Show cleverly
India - China Problem
Reviewed And Analyzed
The map clarifies China's strategic intentions. Having
consolidated Tibet as a base, she begins to squeeze the
border nations-Bhutan, Sikkim and the more important
Nepal-in a strategic vise, with the presumptive political
aim of turning the three into puppets.
Through the same operation, the Chinese take a position
on the Indian side of the mountain passes, from which they
threaten the entire eastern segment of the sub-continent;
and, for good measure partially outflank southeast Asia,
down which the Communist forces are already driving.

Maroon and White and her
Court by Fraternities and
Campus Clubs. A modem
dance served as a mode for
relieving tension and break
ing the monotony. The whole
environment was encom
passed by a “Sea of Charm.”
But everything did not stop
at the Coronation. A tidal
wave were brought in a
parade the next day that has
be in hailed by many as the
best in Morehouse history.
The Sea of Charm theme
created unity. It was this
unity, this elevation of the
theme and, of course, the
charm reflected by the
queens and their attendants,
that won the hearts of the
spectators. And a rain came,
at the right time, to add to
the mood.
Two trophies were given.
The Sophomore Class was
awarded first place for the
