THE ATHENAEUM 115 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.
