Since first beholding on the hill

The splendor of the Howard

That we love. . . .

Four years have passed

And passions, laughs, heartaches, thoughts and ecstasies

Now are memories. . . .

Four years have passed

Caught on the ivings of Mercury—

Seems only yesterday

It was so new. . . .

Four years have passed

In friendship, understanding, camaraderie

That will remain a very part of us

Forever. . . .

Four years have passed

And noiv our eyes are cast at neiv horizons

Greater things

There's much to do!

In September of 1939 we entered college with the incompatible forces of pending war ahead of us. We brought with us the fervent desires of youth to acquire an education and to accomplish something.

In December of 1941 our nation entered war and many of the enthusi­ astic and ambitious members of our ranks were taken away to join the defense of the country. These men are with us yet in the realization that we are all contributing to the progress of history, and so to them we sincerely dedicate this book.

FEATURE STAFF The feature staff is com­ posed of the most capable workers accessible in the four undergraduate classes, and are more than willing to accommodate any re­ quest that may better stu­ dent conditions. The fea­ ture staff is under the direct supervision of the feature editor Miss Cather­ ine Lewis.

BUSINESS STAFF On the 1943 Bison Busi­ ness staff we find the more precise and business like minds of the four un­ dergraduate classes. Their efficiency is surpassed only by their intellect and de­ sire to see the Bison a financial success in every respect. The master brain behind this staff is lodged in the skull of Mr. T. Howard Duncanson.

L PRESIDENT MORDECAI JOHNSON, D.D. At the very mention of "Mordecai" the student automatically thinks of How­ ard progress, and will readily admit that he is the best thing that has happened to Howard in the history of the University. Although seldom seen on the campus, the student knows that he is tirelessly working to favor the student and the race as best he can. We are appreciative.

18 DEAN JOSEPH ST. CLAIR PRICE, Ed.D. Dean Price is one of the busiest men on the campus to date and is justly so, in that he has been selected to fill the shoes of the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Dean Charles Thompson, who is on leave.

DEAN HOWARD THURMAN AND "DITTO" HAWKINS Here we find two of the students' most trusted and esteemed "institu­ tions." Dean Thurman is a favorable reflection of his native state, Florida. Dean Thomas "Convictions" Hawkins represents Mexico—by way of Penn­ sylvania.

The members of the class of '44 are making JUIVIDR CLASS their Junior year the best so far, by participating in every part of college life. For example, the Junior girls added much talent to Frazier Hall's show in January. You couldn't have missed those advanced R.O.T.C. uniforms some of the Juniors like Don Roberts, Herman Stamps, Norman Harris, C Allen Johnson, and Sergil Cave are sporting. Fellowship Council boasts many Junior mem­ bers, and so does the N.A.A.C.P., which has Angela Jones as President. There are Juniors in Who's Who m American Colleges, too. They are: Ruth Simmons, Cecile Roberts, Jane Bowles, C. Allen Johnson, Alvin Thompson, and William Branham. '44's scholastic ability is proved by Eirene Cana- geta's graduating in three years, by the "Summa" averages of Alvin Thompson, Mauvice Winslow, and C. Allen Johnson, and by the twenty-two Juniors with "Magna" and "Cum" averages. '44's members are also looking forward to the day when they can bear the worthy title of "Seniors."

42 SDPHDMDRE CLASS

In September, 1941, Howard University experienced something new, in the form of the Class of '45. Brought together by mutual problems, the Class readily developed into an energetic unit. It elected its officers in the persons of Truvillus Hall, president; Blanche Wells, vice-president; Edmund Yearwood, treasurer; and Ruth Powell, secretary. In this first year the class climaxed its activities with a very successful Class Prom. In May, 1942, the class elected Kenneth F. Dungill, president; Edmund Yearwood, treasurer; and Imogene Hawkins, secretary. Here again, the Class broke tradition by being the most active class of sophomores seen on Howard's campus in many years. Thefirst o f its year's activities was a very entertaining Chapel program for freshmen. This was followed by an evening Musical Tea in Crandall Hall. Striking again, the Class successfully sponsored a Thanksgiving Needy Basket Campaign and just recently spon­ sored a novelty in the form of a "Revenge" Dance.

Despite the war, the Class of '45 promises to continue its efforts to prove that classes can and ivtll function successfully.

43 FRESHMAN CLASS

It was September 24, 1942, and in we trooped, over thhree-hundred strong. We were heralded as one of the largest classes in the history of Howard University, and in our hearts we said we would be the best. Freshmen week . . . week of wide-eyed gazing . . . unwilling awe of upper classmen . . . marveling at the number of pretty girls . . . the number of handsome fellows. We were some class! The Cook Hall dance, ourfirst dance, then classes. Football games (we sponsored the rally before the Howard-Dover game) . . . freshmen-sophomore rush (we won!) . . . then those mid-quarter grades. We were so unhappy after that; we felt we could never recover from the stunning blow of the terrible grades, but we knew in our hearts that we were really good . . . thus, we recovered. Then came elections; now we were a self-supporting entity. We chose. William Hall, president; Patricia Roberts, vice-president; Mary Louise Pack, secretary; Chuck Stewart, treasurer. We knew we had chosen wisely when we put our future in their hands. Then the Thanksgiving game . . . the Lincoln crowd . . . the dance after the game. Soon we were studying diligently for finals . . . then Christmas. Home we trooped, hungry for a sight of the folks. But after a few days, in spite of ourselves, we were longing to see the "gang" again. A new quarter . . . but old friends. Suddenly we began to hear of Civil Rights . . . we began to think. Just as suddenly came pledging, and we took our choices so very seriously . . . Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, elta. Kappa, Omega, Sigma, but we were still the class of '46—friends until the end. Next came the freshmen-sophomore debate . . . we lost . . . but we maintain with John Thomas, "You can't ration passion." When we became disillusioned, we picked up, realizing that you can't keep a good class down by one defeat! Then came Student Council representatives from our class: Victor Lightfoot and Lucimarian Tolliver. With all our joys, we were sad. We knew the boys were going into the armed services after this quarter . . . some had already gone. As we look into the future, we see the cloud which obscures the road, a road which we know will be rocky, for upon us rests the fate of the world. We are the reconstruc- tionists, the framers of a new world. With silent lips, beseeching eyes, our hearts cry out to God above: "Show us the way. Let us meet our destinies with clear eye and firm, unfaltering step. Lead us and we will follow."

AA STUDENT COUNCIL

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of Howard University for 1942-1943, composed of twelve undergraduates chosen in a general election, is directly responsible for the administration of the extra-curricular activities of the undergraduate student body. This involves the social, recreational, educational and other interests of the students, and requires constant planning and supervision. Notable achievements of this year's Council have been its several enjoyable socials, the extensive program of Gridiron activities during the Thanks­ giving recess, its welfare program, including the Arkansas sharecroppers contribution, its scrap drives, the completion of the Student Loan Fund started by an earlier Council, and its contribution to the Howard Service Flag. The Council will long be remembered for making this year's Bison a possibility by itsfinancial patronage .

This year the Engineering and Architectural Council assumed the responsibilities of student government ably led by the president, Leroy F. Florant. The other newly-elected members were: Don Peterson, secretary; Hardy Liston, Jr., treasurer; George Page, Edward Thompson, Robert Madison and Edward Smith. Florant, Liston, Smith, Madison, and Page are members of the Dean's Honor Roll.

Previously, all students of Howard University were under the jurisdiction of one student governing body, the Student Council. How­ ever, wide differences in the social and educational intere.sts of the Engineering and Architectural students necessitated some remedial step in the governmental setup. Therefore, in 1935, due to determined efl^orts, an independent organization, the Engineering and Architectural Council, was formed.

The Commerce Club which is made up of students in the School of Commerce and Finance and others interested in business has as its aim the affording of a little of the practical side of business along with the theory that is a part of the classroom instruction. The work of the club is divided into committees, the most important of which are the Survey Committee and the Technical Service Committee. The Survey Committee collects useful statistics about Negro business in Washington in an effort to solve their problems and to point out some problems faced by business. The Technical Service Committee renders accounting services to small businesses. Each year the club observes Commerce Day on which it presents an outstanding business man to the students. The club take a definite interest in cooperative movements and makes an effort to encourage them as much as possible.

W. M. Kiplinger, in his book, Washington is Like That, points out, "There is no Negro drama in Washington except for some amateur performances cultivated by Howard University." These performances are the work of the Howard Players, leading dramatic organization on the "hill." The Players are talented and versatile young people who have won for themselves an enviable position as one of the best non­ professional Negro acting guilds in the country. In the past the Players have been capably directed by William Butcher and are now sponsored by the equally capable Ella Haith Weaver. The Players present at least two big productions annually as well as four orfive skits . Notable "hits" of previous seasons have been "The Divine Comedy," "The Male Ani­ mal," "What a Life," and "Kind Lady." At present the Players are rehearsing "Mamba's Daughters" with Doris Brown, Mary Jo Greene and Betsy Johnson playing stellar roles.

Kappa Sigma Debating Society was founded at Howard University to afford an outlet for the interest Howard Students had in debating and to enable Howard to meet the quality of debating done by the more outstanding varsity debating teams. The purposes of the organization are threefold. First, it aims to have its members understand the rules of argumentation and logic, to think accurately and to recognize fallacies in the thinking of others. Second, it proposes to give its members an opportunity to appreciate all social, economic, and political questions. Third, it aims to develop appreciation of and training in oral expression. Once each year Kappa Sigma sponsors competitive try-outs for new members. Its faculty spon.sor is Dr. John T. Lovell, Jr. The officers of the Kappa Sigma Debating Society are listed above.

The Fellowship Council seeks to create a feeling of fellowship and good will between the members of the university campus and to promote activities that fill a definite need on the campus. Outstanding activities sponsored by the Council have been ex­ change student visits with Bucknell, Columbia, Pennsylvania State, Vassar, and Connecticut Wesleyan; the annual Student-Faculty Dinner; Get-Acquainted Week; the annual Howard-Lincoln Conference; monthly birthday parties for all students; and Faculty Open-House. The activities are delegated to specific committees, 15 in all, within the organization. Dean Howard Thurman is advisor to, and outstanding member of, the Council. He had a dream; in 1937 that dream became the Fellowship Council.

54 55 ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY

On December 4, 1906, the concept of Negro Brotherhood was for the first time given material expression in the form of Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at Cornell. This fact is signifi­ cant, for it represents a commitment—an assumption on the part of Alpha Phi Alpha of the responsibility of always leading the race. It is this interpretation of the founding of thefirst chapter which has made A(M Alpha a brotherhood of leaders. It is this doctrine, preached in each of the 169 chapters into which the organization has grown, which is responsible for Alpha men being in the vanguard in every field of human endeavor. Beta Chapter was founded at Howard University on December 20, 1907, the second chapter of the fraternity and thefirst on a Negro campus. Since that day Beta has adhered religiously to the fundamental precepts of Alpha Phi Alpha by supplying leaders to the campus community and to the race at large.

''First of All. Servants of All. We SIMII Transcend AW

56 "To be a noble Alphaman is all we ask" The Sphinx Club of Beta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha is a brief stopping place where "the members of the fraternity in theory attempt to study a man's character, to get acquainted with him, and to let him get acquainted with them, in order that both the fra­ ternity and the sphinxman may decide intelligently whether or not either wishes to continue the friend­ ship and cement it into brotherhood. As a part of its activity program the club is required to sponsor some project and a smoker for the fraternity, and to acquire a detailed knowledge and thorough understanding of the history, aims, and ideals of Alpha Phi Alpha. The officers of the present club, consisting of some twenty- odd members feature Gregory McNeill, president; Edward Petty, vice-president-treasurer, and Hugh Holcombe, secretary.

57 KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY

The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity being organized at Indiana University, 1911, spread from the West to the East and in 1920 began its career at Howard University. This chapter was named the Xi chapter. After twenty-three years on the campus there are found approximately sixty-five Kappa men here and numerous others in the city of Washington. This year under the leadership of T. D. Hill, Jr. (Polemarch) the Xi chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi has gone on towards its goal of achievement, civicly as well as socially. Although the men are not in residence, the fraternity is in the ownership of an elaborate fra­ ternity house (Kappa Kastle) located at 13th and Girard Streets N.W., as soon as the war takes a definite turn it is assured that the Kappa Kastle will again lend its traditional aid in the fostering of good will, fellowship and entertainment for the general student body. Kappa Alpha Psi has always been with the leaders in the building of Howard spirit. This year along with the members of the Class of '43, Kappa Alpha Psi wishes to extend its compliments to the Howard community and expresses the desire to continue in the building of a better Howard.

58 SCROLLERS ELUR

The Scroller Club is an affiliate organization of Kappa Alpha Psi and is conceived to give intellectual play to prospects for entrance into the fraternity proper. While in the Scroller Club the pledgee must prove himself qualified for becoming a member in the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. Here the rudiments of parliamentary procedure along with some of the in­ strumental ideals of the fraternity are conveyed to the pledgees through the medium of the fraternity pledge commission. The colors of the Scroller Club are purple and gold. The flower is the white carnation.

In recent years it has been the practice to write articles for this year book which would include the usual details concerning our inception January 11, 1914, and which even more would convey the pride we take in our expansion over the past twenty-nine years to universities and colleges all over the United States. The articles, though written in a serious vein, reflect a happier mood than we feel it possible to experience in writing this article. Rather we are despondent now, for we feel heavily the losses which Sigma has experienced from two sources: the absence of so many younger members OFFICERS (now in war service) in whom lie the hopes of our future, and the loss of George Washington Carver, EDGAR DRAPER whose life crystallizes the ideals of our fraternity, our President objective as expressed in our motto—"Culture for Service and Service for Humanity"—and provides PEDRITO FRANCOIS excellent examples for the aspiring youth of the world.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was founded in the year 1908 at Howard University. The program of Alpha Chapter from its beginning to the present day has been to foster friendships, to cultivate high ethical standards among Negro college women, to instigate scholastic recognition, to enforce a common bond among its members, and to produce efficient leaders who, after college, will continue their well-rounded curriculum. One of the most outstanding projects still in effect is the Mississippi Health Project, which strives to help the underprivileged of the rural South. The funds contributed to the project this year were re­ ceived by the girls who were on probation last fall. Alpha Chapter awarded the "Lucy Slowe Memo­ rial," a scholarship given to the most outstanding girl in the Freshman class of last year. The recipient of this was Josephine Adams.

ZETA PHI RETA SORORITY

Like all sororities on the campus of Howard Uni­ versity, the aim of Zeta Phi Beta is to select and to attract girls who may be considered worthwhile mate­ rial for a Zeta. We are very particular in that respect in that Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and all its activities are cen­ tered around finer womanhood. With this ideal upper­ most in the minds of the sorors. Alpha Chapter Plans its activities accordingly. Annually, Alpha Chapter pre­ sents a cup through the Women's League to that young woman whose attendance is best thereto, and a bracelet to the Dean of Women of Howard Uni­ versity at the Women's Dinner. Both the cup and the bracelet have the year engraved on it. Also, Alpha Chapter sponsors an annual affair to entertain the 'Howard Freshmen and Sophomore women who are interested in Zeta, as well as an annual bus ride as a sight-seeing tour. The affairs culminate with Finer Womanhood Week Programs. That week's programs highlight the development of finer womanhood . . . our ideal!

Since that time both the School of Music and the School of Engineering and Architecture have instituted such a system to acknowledge the scholastic achievements of students in these schools. In the fall of each year there is an Honors Day Program in the university chapel. The scholastic averages are computed by a grade basis and are cumulative. Because most of these students have been active participants not only in scholarship but also in all phases of college life, they should make outstanding con­ tributions in the many fields of endeavor wherever they go. 72 ACHIEVEMEIVT KEYS & EUP

Founded with the primary purpose of emphasizing sound scholar­ ship the Kappa Mu Honorary Society was organized on October 31, 1923. The secondary object of this honorary society is to confer upon those students of the academic schools whose marked scholastic ability has proved them worthy of membership a badge of distinction and honor. Entrance into Kappa Mu is held as one of the highest honors a student may attain while at the university. It is a reward for meritorious scholar­ ship, a symbol of the greatest academic achievement.

75 June 10, 1953. My dear John: Because of the honor and success which our class of '43 has manifested, you ask me to give you as much information about our alumni as possible for your "Records of Distinguished Negroes." I have merely the following information and news of interest for you:

Lloyd Reed, LL.D., lawyer par excellence, is fighting a case against the Stoddard and Woods Banking Firm in the interest of his client. Gentry North (you remember him), wealthy merchant dealing in furs. Ula Keeler, outstanding business woman, is heading "The Association for the Progress of Negroes" in New York. Working with her are Pat Vines and Billie Henderson, renowned social workers. Oh, you know Billie married several years ago.

Do you recall Juanita Lacey and Marge Russell.^ They opened up a modern dance studio right after graduation. Now, Vi Kennedy is in charge of the main studio. Juanita is on tour and Marge is studying in Argentina. Julia Thompson is working for the State Department. She's working in Liberia. (Heard from her last week and she surprised me by saying that Tommie Hill had recently been elected President of Liberia.) Ellis Christian is also working for the State Department as an interpreter. Someone told at Gene Thompson's wedding that he was in China.

Yes, the Class has really made progress! Kathryn Boyden, the first Negro woman to play with the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, is a sensation in Boston. While there, she is staying with Margie (Groves) Van Wyck—Margie married that lawyer big-wig. Kay Lewis, who is now Assistant Secretary of Labor, flew to New York from Washington recently to meet her prominent husband. I suppose you read the current edition of the "Times," commemorating Drs. J.ames Mitchell and John Holmes for brilliant experiments.

Last May, I visited Mary Wormley, who's teaching French in Philadelphia. She's married to a speciali.st and has two adorable children. While there, I called on Betty Wingate at her exclusive and smart salon. She's made a wonderful success of her cosmetic business. Mary informed me that Dottie Steele was married and liviqg in Harrisburg. Myrtle Thorne is teaching at Dunbar in Washington—she married that famous concert artist from Atlanta.

Loads of our alumni are in Chicago! Bea Turner has opened a dramatic school there. Alphonse Lewis is there also, practicing law. Elaine Brazier has started a marvelously modern finishing school for girls in Chicago. Harriett Pearson is carrying on a research project in collaboration with Dr. Psyche. Imagine—at the University of Chicago! I met Jimmie Lightfoot in Lima, Peru, a couple of years ago. He's acting as an agent of the Sighs Committee for the Government in Buenos Aires since he stopped practicing law. He mentioned that he had seen George Winzie in Haiti. George is teach­ ing French in one of the universities there. Les Houston was also in Haiti at the time as Ambassador from the United States. I read in "New Masses" in '47 that Edgar Draper was going to Russia in order to represent his labor union in an international labor meeting. Lorenzo Harris has settled in Asbury Park after carrying on extensive medical research in Alabama. Dorothy Stokes was awarded the Pulitzer Prize last year for her historical novel: "Lost in Timbuctoo." Years have passed and friends have parted, but the brilliancy of the class still remains. Let me know how your book is coming along.

This section of the BISON has been established in a feeble effort to compensate for the many cooperations given the staff by constituents of the campus in hopes that they will be able to assist in making a bigger and better BISON. It is practically impos­ sible to include all of the campus in such a volume as this however, we have sincerely tried to include as many as possible as is exemplified by this section. The editor thanks the following for mak­ ing this section possible: Mr. Loydd Reed, Mr. Harold Delaney, Mr. Phillip Miller, Mr. James W. Jones, Miss Angella Jones, Ace Parker and his gang, and Mr. T.

TRAEK AT HOWARD For the first time in years, the Bisons partook of track in the form of a cross-country team. The spark-plug of the freshman team was Wesley D. Mayo, a product of Provi­ dence, Rhode Island. In trouncing Armstrong and Cardozo high schools, the frosh ter­ minated an undefeated season.

The varsity and freshman teams, under the generalship of C. Allen Johnson, com­ bined to win the citywide meet. Johnson, who hails from Hartford, Connecticut, proved himself an able captain as well as afleet-foot on the track. The squad was adequately represented by a group of twentv-nine men.

The regular team was called out in mid-February. A large and growing group of youngsters readily responded to the call of Coach Chase. They have been working daily in the hopes of bringing their Alma Mater the best team in years. Harry I. Woods, a speedster from Newark, New Jersey, is track captain. He is a middle-distance man of fine ability and is expected to do yeoman work in helping the Bisons return to their former heights.

Track meets scheduled for the frosh include Dunbar, Armstrong, and Cardozo high schools. The varsity schedule includes Hampton, Lincoln, the Penn Relays, and the annual C. I. A. A. meet. w 0 M E
