i The campus is full of activity. The de bating teams are preparing for their com ing ‘battles’ with Knoxville and Talladega, which are scheduled for the 13th of this month. Juniors are busy with their speeches for the Junior Preliminaries. Seniors are getting ready for the ‘End.’ The Staff of our Annual is on the go night and day in their attempt to have the Annual out by the middle of May. Thus in all, Life on the ‘Hill’ is bubbling with much energy. Our ‘Gym’ is going up rapidly and will he ready for dedication by commencement, at which time we are hoping Mrs. John son C. Smith will be able to be with us. Judge W. F. Harding, of the Superior Court of North Carolina, addressed the stu dents last month. We were indeed pleased to have such a distinguished gentleman to speak to us. It is but one more of the times that we have been indebted to the kindness of Mr. Shelton, of the City Y. M. C. A. On his return trip from the Dean’s Con ference at Nashville our Dean, Prof. J. Henry Alston, was injured in a car mishap. But he is now once more about his work. Rev. Corley is also back on the job. The first Y. M. C. A Secretary, Mr. Rowland, was a recent vistor to our cam pus. His maturity, beliefs and picturesque, ness made quite an impression on the stu dents. . Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Clement, from Charleston, S. C., passed through our cam pus a few days ago. They were accompa nied by their daughter, Emma; and their younger son, William. A few of our boys went up to see the North Carolina State-Livingstone Game at Salisbury. Everybody returned on sched uled time with the exception of one Mr. George Dockery. . “Why?” Some one be hind me whispers, “AL.” We understand that Mr. McKenzie has purchased stock in the White Swan. Any way, the little affair down there the other night was wonderful. ‘When will it happen again. Tippy?’ Messrs. Leon Steele and Vance Chavis appeared recently at a lecture and a recital with ‘les jolies femmes.’ Quite a novelty for the latter ’n’est-ce pas ? The photograph work on the Annual has been completed and the pictures have been shipped to our engravers. The merchants and business men of the city and vicinity have responded most encouragingly to our approaches for their purchase of advertis ing space in the Annual. . The students have given their service in more than one way. Therefore, with this most pleasing cooperation on the part of the above named individuals, “The Bull,” Johnson C. Smith’s first Annual, is bound to be one of the best annuals seen in these parts for some time. We are now hoping that when these books are placed on sale for the public we will have a ready response from our friends. ALPHA OMICRON CHAPTER OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA FR\TERNITY Officers: W. J.

When blossoms of flowers are seen in bloom, when the dull colors of shrubberry pun ‘u90jS pjpnEoq u o; poSuBqo AaAuq UAop Sui^sno oq o:; s.iuoddBuns oqj uoqw its blazing rays of heat, everything that has life is more or less affected by the realization of true spring time; yet such an outward expression of nature is not the only medium by which the class of ’28 deter mines the season; for in April there always exists an inward feeling very similar to “laziness” in every respect, one that sug gests only a love for board and lodging around dear old Smith. The Dignified Sen iors, however, will not be susceptible to such a suggestion because in the minds of all there is this very common expression, “It won’t be long now.” Recently orders for class rings were taken and it was a surprise to find so many giving ladies’ sizes instead ^f their own. Probably it is wise to get them to fit the wearers rather than the owners. Watch the hands of the ladies. The “smooth kid” Woodbury seemed very much pleased when a certain “jolie femme” from Georgetown was in the city. It must be true that the home town girl will at sometime predominate. On the base ball team McKeithan is the only class representative. However, such does not mean there are no players among the seniors. If games are played against the Profs, or lower classes as customary, the class will demonstrate professional abil ity. It can’t be understood why certain boys have wandered all over Charlotte for years without being attracted by some fair dam sel. Leroy Young claims prophets are with greater honors in Mt. Airy and distant lands. If an anti G. A. A. was organized, T. L. Flair’s social activities at present would demand the highest office. He has the rec ord now that it took other fellows 4 years to get. Our President, G. R. Dockery, has not as yet issued a statement concerning his plans for another term. It is predicted, however, that he will “choose to run,” not for Presi dent but to Salisbury always. Many boys who intended 3 or 4 years ago to bid farewell to Charlotte after this term, are now singing a different song. Caviness, McKeithan and Battle will, no doubt be seen arond Charlotte very often. The class is anxiously awaiting to see Smith defeat Livingstone, for everything that is done in the year ’28 will be record ed. 15 rahs for Smith. Let’s all help her to win. “It can be done.” BEAT LIVINGSTONE AND HOW! WITH THE JUNIORS . C: A: By “Bun.” By O. J. Taylor Peepin, peeping here and there. In lawns and meadows everyw'here; Coming up to find the Spring And hear the robin, redbreast sing. The running brooks take on new life; Still the Juniors toil with strife, to strengthen their hold on the new way And take the lead some sweet day. The boys are looking forward to that grand and glorious day, “Easter Monday.” It is just around the corner and all of us are waiting patiently to witness the big game and its results. This day has been set apart as one of the greatest days for the colored people of the South. On the other hand some of the boys just can’t wait for that day. I don’t know why, but “Strenberger has been frequenting the campus recently. An open ear dropped in on the Junior campus last night about 3 G. M. and heard an ear full. Three roommates were arguing a certin question. The first one’s answer was, “I guess I should know because I work for the President.” The second one replied, “Well, I’m in with the Dean.” And the last one to speak said, “Of course, you boys work for the executive heads of the in stitution and all that, but when it comes to really knowing anything in general and what not, just ask me.” In this age of single standards when women are clamoring to take the places of men, I wonder how many would like to be called “bass singers” and foot ball stars. Remember, girls, ,and bear in mind That hot Junior prom is nearing time; So get your frocks and silver shoes For that’s the time we chase all blues. If to your Junior, B. F., you haven’t been true Lookout, G. F.„ he may put it on you. For there are other G. F.’s who would like to go. . The Y. M. C. A. has selected a new group of officers to continue its program. The establishment of the Y. M. C. A. cafeteria will forever commemorate the service of the outgoing officers under the presidency of Mr. George McKeithan. Many other improvements have been realized during his administration. We now look forward with implicit confidence to the newly elect ed officers to maneuver this organization to greater activities. We believe that each new officer is saturated with the spirit of work and has developed the desire to make the Y. M. C. A. a better organization. Messrs. J. A. Squire is President; R. H. Lee, Vice-President; G. T. Franklin, Sec retary; J. L. Hollowell, Jr., Assistant Sec retary; J. A. Jones, Treasurer; F. D. Jef- fres. Business Manager. The installation address was given April 1, 1928, by Prof. E. L. Rann. THE SCROLLERS’ CLUB WILLIAM H. FLETCHER, Sign Painter, Designer and Interiorr Decorator. Room 33, Berry Hall Johnson C. Smith University (Continued from page 5) feels to be far below or far above him. If he has a strong desire for recognition, he may enter groups which he feels are slightly below him, but offer opportunities for leadership. Since most people are striving to increase or maintain their sta tus, we may assume in general that a person tries to assimilate himself into higher groups, consequently he enters with a degree of subordination. He sees in these groups an opportunity for develop ment and the degree of his assimilation in each group depends largely upon the dynamics of his personality. It should be remembered that a person is assimilated in any group only for that period of time and to the degree that t’ne group satisfies some wish or segment of a wish. The Sci oilers Club stands for high ideals and scholarship. If you come up to the re quirements you are eligible. W^e weigh our men; not coun' them. The Scrollers’ hope for every one a happy Easter. The mills of the Scrollers’ grinds slow but they grind exceedingly well.
