THE WOLVERINE OBSERVER Page 3 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 ?

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. * * * Queen Esther Heard seems to be helping herself to a slice of Sad Sam’s heart. * * * Don’t look right now but I think that fellow from Tenn. is being rushed, take it easy Sara McFarlin, Virginia Stan field, a n d Thelma Powell would like to string along with you. * * * Although Kemp wishes to help King Dixon solve his problem, Dixon refuses to let him interfere.

Students, Eat At THE GREEN SPOT 521 MITCHELL STREET REGULAR PLATE DINNERS CANDIES - PIES - SANDWICHES Choice of Meat Vegetables and Dessert 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 Theological (6 duplicates 27 Evening students . . 131 Denominational Distribution A. M. E 245 Baptist 214 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.
