Four year.f have passed
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. W e 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.

S T A F F 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.

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. W e are appreciative.

D E A N 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.

JUIVIDR CLASS The members of the class of '44 are making 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 members, 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."

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.
The first of 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. W e were some class!
The Cook Hall dance, our first dance, then classes. Football games (we sponsored the rally before the Howard-Dover game) . . . freshmen-sophomore rush (we won!) . . . then those mid-quarter grades. W e 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. W e chose. William Hall, president; Patricia Roberts, vice-president; Mary Louise Pack, secretary; Chuck Stewart, treasurer. W e 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. H o m e 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." W h e n 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. W e 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. W e 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."

STUDENT COUNCIL
S T U D E N T 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 Thanksgiving 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 its financial 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 or five 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

ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY O n 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 significant, 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 the first chapter which has made 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 the first 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.

"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.

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 fraternity 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
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.

PHI RETA SIGMA FRATERNITY 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 w e feel it possible to experience in writing this article.
Rather we are despondent now, for w e feel heavily the losses which Sigma has experienced from two sources: the absence of so many younger members (now in war service) in w h o m lie the hopes of our future, and the loss of George Washington Carver, whose life crystallizes the ideals of our fraternity, our objective as expressed in our motto—"Culture for Service and Service for Humanity"—and provides excellent examples for the aspiring youth of the world.
However, let no one suppose that this despondency is of such a nature as to paralyze all activity or blot out all hope of the future. For that same fund of ideals which gave impetus to our organization in the blind uncertainty of 1914 and in the years tangent thereto still bears us strong stead.
Our campus program has deviated little from the usual—if at all, only for the better. In the ignorance of what our fate may be at the hands of the Selective Service (and recently of the Enlisted Reserve Corps), w e find it possible to function guided by a happy optimism.

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.
O n e 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 received by the girls who were on probation last fall.
Alpha Chapter awarded the "Lucy Slowe M e m o rial," a scholarship given to the most outstanding girl in the Freshman class of last year. The recipient of this was Josephine Adams.

IIVSTRUCTDRS R
Announcement of the establishment of an R.O.
T.C. unit at Howard University was made January
29, 1919. Captain C. C. Johnson, Infantry, was the
first professor of Military Science and Tactics. Cap
tain Johnson was succeeded on March 18, 1919,
by Major Milton T. Dean, Infantry, U. S. Army.
Since that date there have been various changes
and replacements of Regular Army personnel due
to W a r Department orders. Lieutenant Colonel
Henry J. Boettcher, Infantry, U. S. Army, who is
now on his fourth year of duty, is the head of the
Department of Military Science and Tactics. Lieu
tenant Colonel Boettcher replaces Colonel Lloyd
Zuppann who was recently transferred to Fort
McClellan, Alabama. Colonel Zuppan served as
P.M.S. & T. for six years. His absence will be felt
by all members of the R.O.T.C. unit. All R.O.T.C.
members intend to cooperate fully with the present
P.M.S. & T. in order to make the R.O.T.C. unit at
Howard the best in the nation. Other instructors
include Major Raymond Countee, O.R.C.; Captain
Robert Wilson, O.R.C; Sergeant Amos Robinson,
D.E.M.L.; and Sergeant Spreuill, D.E.M.L.
The object of the R.O.T.C. is primarily to
qualify students for positions of leadership in time
of national emergency. The complete course com
prises four years, a basic course of two years and
an advanced course of two years. A systematic and
O.T.C.
standardized method of instruction prescribed by
the W a r Department is carried out in detail by the
instructors in the various military subjects. A stu
dent who has successfully completed all the courses,
including a six weeks attendance at the summer
training camp, is rewarded with a Commission as a
Second Lieutenant of Infantry, Officers' Reserve
Corps. Because of the present emergency, at the
completion of the four years' course the senior
R.O.T.C. Cadets are assigned to the Infantry
School at Fort Benning, Georgia, where they pur
sue a three months' course in the latest develop
ments in Infantry Tactics. With the successful
completion of this course, these officer candidates
are commissioned as Second Lieutenants of Infan
try in the Army of the United States.
The unit is organized into a Provisional Infantry
Battalion consisting of a Battalion Headquarters
and three rifle companies. The following men are
Cadet Officers for the school year 1942-43:
Cadet Major—Albert W . Winthrop.
Cadet Captains — Jehu C. Hunter, James C.
Lightfoot, Kenneth W . Coleman.
Cadet First Lieutenants—Clarence C. Givens,

The Dean's Honor Roll was started about seven years ago in the College of Liberal Arts by the late Dean Davis. 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 contributions in the many fields of endeavor wherever they go.

June 10, 1953. My dear John:
Because of the honor and success which our class of '43 has manifested, you ask
m e 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 W o o d s 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 N e w 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. N o w , 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 m e 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 N e w 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 m e 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. H e 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 " N e w 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 m e know how your book is coming along.
As ever,
PAUL.

N o w that we have reached the parting of the
ways, it becomes my duty to take inventory of our
many valuable possessions and to bequeath some
of them to those persons who would appreciate

To Dr. Mordecai Johnson, our president, we
bequeath this wish of sincerity: that he may remain
president of Howard University in order that it
may continue to be as wonderful an institution as
it is today.
To Dr. Lovell, our friend and advisor, we will
the respett and cooperation of the entire student
body, and continued success in encouraging and
pushing forward each student in the university.
Elaine Brazier leaves to Mauvice Winslow the
distinction of continuing to be the highest ranking
student in her class.
May Gloria Downing and Norman Harris con
tinue to star in the role of Romeo and Juliet, as
Grace Thompson and Jack W o o d have done for
the past four years.
Julia Thompson leaves her interest in extra
curricular activities to Marguerite Parker.
Frankie Holmes leaves his residence in Truth

To Bootsey Herriford is left the combined per
sonalities of Eloise, Bea, Katie and Toni in order
that she may carry on the close relationship with
the Junior Medical students held by that group.
To Helen Branker is bequeathed the Bostonian
air and sophistication of Dorothy Stokes.
Lorenzo Harris leaves his place in Gertrude
Missouri's heart just where it is now.
Billie Henderson leaves the distinction of hav
ing many admirers to Margaret Gill.
Lester Houston wills to Gloria Reed his undying
fascination for romance languages.
To Rudy Simmons is bequeathed the political
and economic theories of Kay Lewis.
Since Sadie Bayne seems to be endowed with
our own Katie Boyden's sense of humor, may she
continue to "crack" her way through college.
The ingenuous and candid manner of Thomas
Hill is willed to Billy Mangrum.
Marjorie Groves leaves her attitude of indiffer
ence and nonchalance to Gloria Garrett.
The sincere interest of Kitty Roett in the activ
ities and progress of the Student Council is handed
down to Percy Fleming.
Doris Reynolds honors Connie Berryman with
the secrets of being "Miss Vogue of Howard
University."
Jimmie Mitchell leaves his "way with all the
girls" to the most susceptible Freshman.
The natural and unaffected beauty of Dorothy
Steele is bequeathed to Jeanne Noble.
Gentry North wishes his authoritative manner
on all subjects to be transmitted to Elmer Whiting.
The leadership and guidance of the Howard
Players as cherished by Craig Wesley is left to
Barbara Childs.
The "Rabble" leaves fond memories of their
adventurous escapades for the past four years to
Bobby Williams and his gang.

of athletics with the hiring of James H. Rowland from Bluefieid, West Virginia, and Jesse Chase from Boston University as the coaches that put Howard back in the win column. The first game of the 1941 season against Cheyney State Teachers' College was a massacre; next the team tangled with the Howard scholastic eUgibility regulations and lost 13 men out of a squad of 30. Under those handicaps they left to hold Shaw University, a powerhouse in the C.I.A.A., down to the score of 12-0, but lost two men for the remainder of the season. Charles Bowser broke his leg and Charles Barton broke his ankle.
Then the Howard male students showed there were a few men left among them, when fifteen boys came out the following Monday in an effort to replace the casualties. Several of them went on to become worthy additions to the team, such as William Pritchett, Josh Dashiell, Lorenzo Harris, Elmer Whiting, and Erskine Freeman.
The team went on to a record of four wins against three losses, climaxing the season with a heart-breaking 21-6 loss to Lincoln at Philadelphia. The turning point of the game was in the first quarter when Howard got a first down on Lincoln's four-yard line by virtue of a pass from Banks to Mitchell and failed to score.
The 1942 team was built around the following veterans, Walter "Bubber" Mitchell, Harvey Banks
(the captain), William "Dimples" Pippin, Thomas Whiting, Charles "Ankles" aBrton, Elmer "Speed" Whiting, "Butch" Wheeler, Theodore "Cueball" Smith, and Myron "Tiger" Ross, plus the talents of the following freshmen: "Hank" Houze, James Lynn, Adkins Aldrich, Calvin Scott, and James Jackson. "Snooky" Carroll, high scoring fullback of the 1941 eleven, scheduled to return for his senior year, became a cadet at Bowling Field, Washington, D. C.
After having rearranged the schedule to suit the limited transportation facilities, Howard started off very impressively by holding an experienced All-Star team to a scoreless tie, beating Camp Pickett 7-0, and tying Dover State's powerhouse 13-13 by scoring twice in the last quarter. Then they hit the road (and the lost column) for Hampton, Union, and a return game at C a m p Pickett, losing to them all, 12-0, 13-0, 7-0, respectively.
This year Howard met Lincoln in the Griffith Stadium and Lincoln slipped and slided to a muddy 20-6 victory despite the efforts of a valiant Howard team. As usual Lincoln scored on passes. In fact, the Howard line was scored on only once (by Union) the entire season; a big hand should go to its mainstays. Pippin, Aldrick, Bell, Houze, Wesley, Champion and E. Whiting.
Next year's prospects look very good with many returning veterans, if Uncle Sam lets them return in civilian clothes instead of khaki.

BASKETBALL Usually an oasis in the otherwise endless desert
of Howard athletic defeats is the record of the
basketball quint. This year has been no exception,
for the Bisons of the court started out with an
impressive victory over a galaxy of alumni greats.
This initial victory was, perhaps, a criterion of
better things to come.
After a dismal road trip, marked by no victories
and two defeats, the quint approached the pin
nacle of success in returning home for a victory
over Coach Jefferson's Trojans of Virginia State.
As the game with Union loomed, the Howard team
represented in pre-game doping another lamb to
be slaughtered by the merciless dream team. Also,
Howard represented the epitome of all C. I. A. A.
underdog quints before a Union game, in that
there was a fervent hope of victory. The rest is
"bull session" material. Our court heroes climbed
to an impossible height to destroy the myth of
invincibility that surrounded Union. If every other
contest had to be marked up in the lost column,
the season would have been successful, for (repe
tition is the only means of delivering the joy)
Howard humbled mighty Union. The cage season,
however, was not completed and neither was the
desire of the cagers to win ball games satiated. To
the campus followers, the cage team brought thrill
after thrill in victory and defeat.
This year, unlike other years. Coach Burr has an
unending stock of talent. The freshman and sopho
more hopefuls possess amazing ability and are
entirely capable of earning starting berths. With
a little polish, the team would have been potential
C. I. A. A. champs. But that dream must wait. As
usual the floormen seek victories over Lincoln. The
material to slap the Lions into defeat is there and
it is no forlorn hope that Howard's 1942-43 record
will show in the victory column the results of the
Lincoln encounter.

HDXIMG TEAM The hardest working aggregation on the campus
is the fine boxing squad under the tutelage of Coach Jesse B. Chase. These boys are looking forward to the C. I. A. A. tournament in Philadelphia with the hope that they can bring to Howard
a championship in this period of athletic depression. Led by Captain Marty Johnson, one of the
few upperclassmen on the squad, the scrappers are
putting more zest into each practice session than most of the athletic aggregations on the campus put into a season of competition.
A n intense interest in the pugilistic art has been stirred up by the vigorous intra-mural boxing pro
gram. Recruiting novices from his Physical Edu
cation classes. Coach Chase is moulding a fine
team of potential C. I. A. A. championship caliber.
Many of the men have had experience as amateur pugs all over the nation, thereby giving the mentor a nucleus for his team. The spirit of the team is marvelous as evidenced by this episode in the small gymnasium. The fellows were supposedly resting after a tough sparring session the day before. Instead of avoiding gloves, punching bags, and all the other paraphernalia that the .scrappers use to round into condition, everyone stripped to the waist and went through his paces. Coach Chase, noting this display, proudly remarked, "I've never seen a bunch of fellows like these. They never want to stop training." The boys were assembled that day only to "glamorize" for the Bison photographer. But they "de-glamorized" in a style most becoming champions.
To them the campus points with pride.

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 a fleet-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, N e w Jersey, is track captain. H e 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.

DANCING
W e are fortunate in our physical education pro
gram here at Howard because we have not
neglected to offer an activity that renders rich op
portunities for creative expression. That activity is
Modern Dancing. Dance in our program is not
given purely for entertainment but rather for its
educational values. W e have followed the principle
that "right dancing can cadence the new soul,
bring harmony between basal and finer muscles,
and also between feeling and intellect, body and
mind." So—more power to our Sepia Martha Gra
ham's and to those of you who think you're inter
ested—come on, let's dance!

BADMIMTDM and ARCHERY
BADMINTON
Badminton, a cross between tennis and volley
ball, is a popular part of the Howard girls sport
program. It is included in both the regular classes
and the intra-mural sports activities. The several
tournaments that were held this year and the
important role it plays in the Women's Sports Day
attest to its popularity.
A R C H E R Y
Little Dan Cupid could learn plenty about
archery from these skilled archers. This sport is
very popular in the Women's Department of Phys
ical Education, and has earned its rightful place in
the intra-mural program. The ultimate objection is
perfection in form which will bring the desired
results that these girls will get—Bull's Eyes! That
first bull's-eye is an accident, the rest come only
with considerable practice.

FENCIIVG and GDLF
FENCING
There is a sport that will last as long as fiction
is read, and dramas are portrayed. The student
studying Shakespeare cannot escape reading about
fencing, and the movie-goer is enchanted at the
swordsmanship displayed. The keen interest in
fencing is in the sport itself, not as a means of
self-defense against enemies. But fencing has
another factor which gives validity to its place in
our physical education program—Health! It gives
excellent coordination of the body, and develops
charm and grace in its every movement. Fencing is
also valuable from the educational standpoint. An
intimate knowledge of this sport can make liter
ature really alive, for the amateur fencer can
imagine vividly the scene in many a novel and
drama, and in history. The sport can easily be con
tinued after school days are over, because it de
mands only two people for competition and not
a great deal of space. The fencers above are anx
iously awaiting the command, "Play."
G O L F
Golf, one of the most popular games in the
nation for men, does not want for popularity
among women attending Howard University, be
cause it has already been accepted into the physical
education program with much enthusiasm. Orig
inally introduced in Scotland in 1457, it was played
by those of nobility; however by the close of the
nineteenth century, its acceptance had become wide
spread, and was then introduced into the United
States. The Father of American Golf was John
Reid, among whose connections was the belief that
it was a gentleman's game. This foolish nation,
however, passed with him, for as early as 1900,
women began to achieve fame in this field of sport.
The most famous of these was perhaps Miss Joyce
Withered of England.
