ing of locations. The doors of
Morris Brown College are
opened to you at all times.
Your very atmosphere car
ries inspiration and courage
with it and they serve as in
centives to stimulate within
us the desire to attain, in
spite of antagonism and
poignant arrays of destruc
tive critical juxapositions.
The student body thought it
very befitting to single you
out from the group which has
matriculated at our Alma
Mater in recent years since
she changed location because
they felt that you made it
possible for the modernites to
succeed as they have.
Lest you forget Dear Mod
ernites, neither have you
been forgotten nor have your
various fields of intellectual
achievement been disregard
ed. Your Alma Mater wishes
to compliment you on your
ability to reach the heights of
accomplishment also. It is
you upon whom the future
classes under the administra
tion of the new regime are
incumbent and therefore, the
responsibility of opening the
way for them has fallen upon
you just as you modernites
patterned after those tenaci
ous lovables of the gay nine
ties. Constantly, and mindful
ly we peruse the journals, our
Negro papers of course, and
we are struck if nothing
therein is relative to you, but
are pleased to the innermost
portions of our hearts when
you have accomplished in
your various fields of endeav
or. So you can easily see then
why you are so welcome upon
such an occasion. Your man
ner of maneuvering or man-
euvure during the progress
of the game and your power
of immediate cooperation in
the cheering will be watched
by us so that we may gain
something that we can add to
our lack of the true spirit.
The welcome to which you
have access is completely out
of the verbal expression. We
can see the trees as they
would burst forth like spring
and the grass as it would
straighten up and glitter at
the call of the perfume sea
son in anticipation of your
approach. Therefore, it is not
enough to just say that we
welcome you or that we have
been embued with the type of
Morris Brown spirit that you
possess, but we can say that
our future lies in the palm of
your hands which are closed,
cutting off our vision and
throwing us into a state of
darkness, thereby making our
very effort in all directions
dependent upon you for guid
ance. Seeing very definitely
the part that you play in our
future development and
achievement and the realiz
ing what is expected of you
by your Alma Mater, we beg
of you to give us some in
sight into this great world of
metaphysical speculation and
so pave the way by exhibition
or exemplification, that the
weakest among us may not
err and cause derogatory to
happen or anything dis-
SOUTHERN CLASSIC

ing minutes of the game.
This was probably the most
stinging defeat suffered by
the Wolverines despite the
great upset of 1932, when a
fumbled punt resulted in a
touchdown.
The Wolverines of 1933,
studded with All-American
stars, whitewashed the Pan
thers 19 to 0. This game
marked the swan song for
such stars as “Tiny” Smith,
“Shag” Jones, “Bulldog” Har
ris, L. Williams, and E. Spur
lock.
Morris Brown’s first Cham
pionship team gained a very
decisive victory over Clark in
1934 under Captain DeLoss
Berry. The last year’s game
was another one of those
grueling scoreless ties.
With this information one
may attempt to pick a win
ner for the 1936 Southeast
ern Classic.
Morris Brown sympathiz
ers were given a severe blow
at the suspension of Harmon
and Hadley, but are still con
fident of a Purple victory.
Big- Harrison Brown who
has been injured a good por
tion of the season is expect
ed to fill the shoeii of Har
mon, and much is expected of
him. Rooker (a freshman
end), Roby Harris and J.
Johnson (guards) are other
men that Coach Lockhart has
been grooming for the re
maining contests. Thus the
stage is set for a Morris
Brown victory “Turkey Day”

Again we reiterate to all
the Alumni that we are in
deed possessed with a spon
taneous overflow of pleasure
and transient enjoyment to
have you visit us and to have
you witness this great and
significant football classic in
w T hich the reputation of Alma
Mater is at stake. We wel
come you! We welcome you!

She closed after having
given the students a chal
lenge as food for thought
with flowery phrases that
swept the listeners almost in
to eternal bliss.
Miss Moten’s rendition of
“Little Black Boy” held the
audience spell bound. The
eery presence of her did not
fall short of inspiring.
THROUGH A KNOT HOLE
By “Na.”
Mutterings: Wonder if Del
la Johnson and Sam Burton
will get back “that way”.
They are seen talking togeth
er again.
Frantic urge: While With
erspoon is playing his loudest
in chapel to step up and pre
sent him with a maximum
silencer.
Silly Notion: To write a
Who’s Who column. Then stay
hidden from a dozen and
eleven critics, I’ll be forced to
face.
Nervous Itch: To give
“Supt.” a complete write-up,
and how.
Wondering Thought: How
would the rest of the campus
co-eds take it if we should
make known the M. B. C.
“Mellow-Dears”.
It may please Miss Lillian
Grey to know that Mr. John
Fudge is up and around a-
gain after a long illness.
Ambition: To observe and
print it with no kick coming
from any one concerned.
Amusing: That Richard
Mack leaves the campus every
day near noon to go down and
spend the recess hour with
the kids on Ashby St. school
playground.
Imaginable Hilarious Eve
ning : Listening to D. L. Smith
and “big Clark” competitive
ly discuss their romantic con
quests.
Brute Powell has more girls
than any other football star
M. B. C. has ever had.
Why does Billingslea have
to send bacon and eggs
special to Blanche Dogan and
Thelma Powell.
Rev. “Bama” MacMillan is
putting in more time in the
girls dormitory than he is at
his new church. Page Miss
