THROUGH A KNOT HOD
Although the season mat
ters very little when we re
proach the subject of ro
mance, there is practically no
doubt that there is something
about the good old fall atmos
phere that makes the cynic
sent'mental and the senti
mentalist dreamy. All of
which seems to be holding
thru this colorful October.
Cupid’s Arrow is very active
in the realm of society. May
be I should get the permis
sion of Miss Ether Jones and
Mr. Charles Prothro, to write
this. Oh well, they wont care
for love is blind.
* * *
With the high winds there
is also plenty of romance in
the air* if you don’t believe it
watch such love birds as Wil
lie F. Hill and Gales; “Tip”
Goodwin and Myrtice Murray,
Mary Henderson and “Cab”
Green, Elizabeth Jackson and
Robert Jackson.

Albert Johnson says Mary
Dugan has captured his heart.
* * *
The fact that Clara Jack-
son dosen’t bother about the
boy friend’s attention to Sara
Poole is evident that she be
lieves in that great policy,
“Share The Wealth,” fine
spirit.

Rollins Davis is singing
“Because She Reminds Me of
You.” Do you notice the re
semblance ? Figure it out your
self.

We thought that Flora
Senior and Ed. Mitchell would
lose their title, “The Ideal
Couple,” as they agreed to
disagree after the Allen and
Morris Brown game, but it
was just a little bump as you
know love dosen’t run smooth.

Fletcher Park is kindly lost
in a fog this semester, help
him find his way girls, he’s
not such a bad fellow after
all.

Don’t look right now but I

Although Kemp wishes to
help King Dixon solve his
problem, Dixon refuses to let
him interfere. He says after
all they both don’t live on the

Peanut Dixon and Fred

longer interested in M. B. C.
co-eds. Wonder why?
* * *
Skinny Smith says he might
be seen talking to other girls
on the campus, but Alice Pear
son is the “Queen of Hearts”.

We wonder if Miss Wright
will join the chorus or take
private lessons. It seems that
Powell likes muscial talent
now.

MORRIS BROWN MAKES
RAPID STRIDES
(Continued from Page 1)
dents from 24 different states
(including one foreign coun
try) and representing ten
religious denominations boost
the total enrollment to a new
height in the colorful history
of this famous Method'st in
stitution. Several faculty
changes and additions have
strengthened the school’s ac
ademic status making it the
equal or surpassing that of
any educational institution of
similar rating.
Extra-curricular activities
will share the spot-light in
the anticipated banner year.
“A Thousand Backs” loom
again on the gridiron, fore
casting the return of the
“Mighty Purpe Wolverine”
to take front rank in nation
al athletic supremacy. Matri
culation of several talented
students in the department
of music and dramatics fore
casts successful campaigns in
these respective divisions.
At the helm of this great
educational movement stands
a man whose name is destin
ed to grace the pages of Ne
gro “Greats” of America—
William Alfred Fountain, Jr.
His tireless efforts and faith
ful services along with a su
per integrity and dominating
personality have contributed
more to the school’s rapid
growth and increased popu
larity than any other single
factor. Staunchly and faith
fully supporting his efforts
firmly stands his father—
Bishop W. A., Fountain, Sr.,,
one of the most dominating
figures of the religious and
educational world. His serv
ices as Chairman of the Edu
cation Board of the A. M. E'.
Church, and as president of
Morris Brown University re
veal him as a man of great ed
ucational understanding and
prophetic vision. Through
his efficient leadership, the
school is receiving wonderful
financial support from the A.
M. E. Churches in Georgia.
This great “apostle of spirit
ual and educational edifica
tion” bids us carry on our
work of spreading truth de
spite other numerous yet un
found criticisms cast upon
us. From his actions and
from his lips continually
comes this utterance of James
Russell Lowell:
“Truth forever on the scaf
fold, Wrong forever on the
throne, Yet that scaffold
sways the future, and, be
hind the dim unknown, Stand-
eth God within the shadow
keeping watch above his
own.”
With such leadership, sure
ly the fathers and loyal sup
porters of Greater Morris
Brown must glory in her rap
id but sure strides toward
none but the highest goal for
Morris Brown College.
Below is given a detailed
statement of the enrollment
at Morris Brown College:
Freshmen 165
Sophomores 131
Juniors 84
Seniors 47

LAST SEMESTER DEAN’S
LIST
Twenty-four students
made Dean’s list the second
semester of 1935-36.
It is interesting to note
that the first semester of the
same scholast c year nearly
twice this number made the
Dean’s list. This may indicate
in some respect the students
who in suite of the varied ae-
tiv.'es still sought to make a
record for themselves that
would distinguish them from
the rest of the students in a
commendable way.
To note the student extra
curricular activities will
prove that the students de
voted some of their t i m e to
other things than study. A
few observations may verify
this fact of the 24 students.
