absolutely necessary to the successful completion of any task. That
determination to put the job over, to go the other fellow one bet
ter, characteristic of Morehouse men on the athletic field and off,
far from being undesirable is worthy of intensive cultivation. True
it is that there s more to fishing than fishthere’s more to a con
test than victory. But that by no means dwarfs the victory nor be
littles the winning spirit. To go in to win, to carry the fight to the
opponent we believe to be the only honorable attitude. The attain
ments of Brawley, Edmond T. Jenkins, Davis, Garry Moore, and
Mordecai Johnson give unmistakable evidence that the will to win in
culcated in school days will carry on into subsequent life that excell
ing spirit that enables men to put the job over.
Those who overstop the bounds of decency in their joy of vic
tory are often a serious menace to the college’s reputation, but we
would utter no word that could be calculated to dampen the ardor
of those who nobly strive for victory by any and all honorable
means.
THE COLLEGE ANNUAL
For the embellishment of the distinctive features of Morehouse
College, the perpetuation in visible form of our college ideals, and
the erection of an attractive monument more permanent than statu
ary to our extra-curricular activities, the class of *25 is sponsoring
the institution of an annual college year book.
It is rather late to begin a work of such great proportions, but
it is to be hoped that those to whose lot it falls to attempt this job
will carry to it that intelligent direction and enthusiasm to which
success will be undeniable. But the wholehearted co-operation of
every Morehouse student is essential to the assemblage of an annual
of the dimensions we propose- The lateness of the start makes
punctuality in compliance with the editors demands absolutely in
dispensable.
The class contemplates an annual of no medicocre type, but one
of the highest workmanship, wrought out with great skill, complete
m every detail, first rate designs and engravings, a work of art that
will creditably represent the college and all of its departments and
activities. This book will no doubt contain a viewsection, a Senior
section, Junior, Sophomore, Freshman, Academic, and Divinity sec
tions, organizations, including every organization of any type what
soever of Morehouse students, a beauty section with “Miss Sper-
man and other outstanding contestants if permissible, athletics
characteristic poses, outstanding events of the year, jokes and all
live features.
There is no student who will fail to appear in at least one de
partment and the outstanding along any line may have their prowess
immortalized. Every student must have an annual as the only per
manent visible memorial of his school days and associates, a worth
while heirloom to his progeny.
