i * A rustling, a bustling, hustling, a toot ing of automobile hums, a familiar “hello, old lady,” a rattling of door keys, and such common salutations as “What you say, Spud?” “careful,” “had a good time,” look what the madam gave me for Christ mas.” We’re the doniinating noises around the Senior dorm. January 2nd they are all back to resume the routine work after the joys of a Christmas vacation. Every one had a good time whether he did or not. He either made a new broad or sealed the courtship with the old or both. Evi dently Santa was good to most of them, because occasionall.v I see one walking the hall with a new bath or lounging robe or a cigarette lighter, or a cute little knife and chain or silk scarfs galore. Among those who went home are Messrs. J. M. Belton, C. M. Steele, Archie Blount, H. L. Marshall, G. F. Newell, Baxter E. Lowe, V. H. Chavis, C. A. Evans and Ben S(iuire. Mr. I^eon Steele came back from Indianapolis where he attended the Annual Omega Conclave saying, “It is the greatest thing I ever saw'. I’ll never miss another.” The w’l'iter returned from a similar trip to Philadelphia, w'here he attended the Alpha Phi Alpha Convention, with the same re marks, only more emphatic. Wednesday morning I was disturbed by a strange noise in an adjacent room. I op ened the door to make the sound more per. cejitihlc, and, behold, it was Ray Shute, Blount, Paul Davis, and Bun Hayes, utter ing a group of dis-unified tones in the form of a Senior quartelt, paying respect to the appproaching mid-term examinations in the tune of “Nobody knows the Trouble I see..’ It was exti emely sad. Although this is the 4th down and two yards to go, the Seniors can’t afford to kick. Our Pres ident advises that we hit the line for the remaining 2 yards; therefore, we have called time out on the social activities while we rest and get up enough strength to carry the ball over these other 2 weeks. LeCs pass this Bible. Mr. A, S. Pow'e wiirwrite class prophecy. Mr. Guy Perry will write class will. Mr. C. A. Evans will write class history. Other class day speakers will be chosen later and will be announced in the next issue. The social activities of the Senior class ai'e as usual with one exception, and that is in the case of Mr. Hemphill Brown. Hemphill has cheate l the Southern Public Utilities Company by getting him a girl in walking distance from the campus. Hemp hill says he got the idea from Hayes and Chavis.

W’ith your success we sign off until the next issue. ALTRUISTIC SOPHO- THE LAMPADOS CLUB MORES TO WE JUNIORS By .M. J. Whitehead The Junior class at this time is in a stage of dormancy; nearly every member of the class is sleeping at day and working at night, getting in readiness for the semester major pitchers of the “exams” league will be centered around “The said G. G. M.” and a said “Physic Prof.” We, the members of the Junior class, wish you much success in all your exams, but if all reports are true, many will be found lacking on the final date—in the above named courses. The Junior class is getting along very rapidly with the editing and managing of the 1929 Bull Pioiect. It may be w’orlh while to state to some of our readers that this project of over 83,000 is managed en tirely by the membei's of this class which gives us as a body good practice in the fields 'f journalism, commerce, salesman ship and banking. With the co-operation that we ai'e i-eceiving from the student body, administration and business firms in and out of the city of Charlotte, there is no reason to dispute the fact that the 1929 T. Jeffers, ’31. Rhea, you chocolate little girl, dainty in your Rhapsodic flimsiness, quiet in your sober hours. But, ah! what a dreamer! ,:U1 day you dreamed and built Castles in the air and nights you lay long Awake, picturing ycur tomorrow. Rhea, you dreamed, and even though I tried to discourage such. You told me you were sincere. Chocolate little Rhea, you often cross my Path in dreams, flitting like the frenzied moth at Sight of flames. Listing like the butterfly on the trail of a new scent. One day your dream failed; one day the farness of it Finally discouraged you,. And then I was happy. I told you it would be. Fleeting little sprite, fluttering out of view as the Swift flight of the homing w'arbler, Down to earth you fell. You dreamer of dreams. You breaker of hearts. I love you even though you broke my heart and smashed It into a thousand pieces there on the altar of promises. Now the pent up fury of the years pours from my very soul And in the moment when I overflow I hate you with the heart Of hearts in my being. I’d murder you but for the sake of your Mother’s love. You dreampt your dieams and I my mus ing did and in the Awakening you forbade ray love. Dream on in your exotic selfishness; the awaking of yester-year Will soon pursue you again. Flatterer of men, Fooler of silly hearts, Speaker of soft phrases. By H. Taft Thomp »n Well, well, and so it goes. Once more wo, of Sophdom, break forth into print; and, believe me, we intend to sta,y broke. The guy who said, “I would not be a ‘Freshie’ anymore surely knew what he was talking about. And if you think that’s hooey, you should be one of us. The passing out of the old year into the new found the Sophs returning to their Alma Mater after the holidays with new resolutions. We, the Sophomores of J. C. S. U., resolve to begin the new year right; to stop the frequented Bull Sessions at “Jake” Bryants; to study for exams and to display those Sophomoric tendencies fitting to Sophomores, but it seems that they have passed into oblivion. We were glad, however, on our I'eturn, ,to greet the members who had gone to their homes before the Christmas season on account of the “flu.’ All of the Sophs report having spent a very, very merry Christmas, especially “Prince” Jethro Henry, the chief of Soph “shieks,” the man who received fourteen letters the first week after his return; who broke more hearts, and found moi'e love in one week than John Gilbert; (with apolo gies to “Chick” Walker who is able by his manipulations and carefully plannee) |p?.- neuvers, has been for the past two years, and is now able to play successfully three young ladies in the s:ime city without fric tion. Congratulations, “Chick.”) It is being whispered around that one letter is seen missing from the weekly mail. How is that, Fletcher? Can it be that the recent statement of “Y'ox Sophomori” was true? Cheer up, Fletcher. You have yet to leai-n that the ways of a woman are changu cable. “0 w'oraan, thy name is trouble.” We regret very much to say that spa e is not permitted to mention the recent ac complishments of mere Soph social king.-., such as Messrs. “Hop” Biggs, T. Jeffers, R. Lee, Jas. Tucker, “Pi-of.” Foulkes, “Red” Lindsay, A. Macon and others. W'e are proud of the fact that two of our members, “Prince” J. Henry and Jack “Beef” Martin, wei"' elected captain and assistant captain, respectively of the 1929 By M. .\. Hawkins W'ith the morn of examinations at hancF and the spring not far distant, we proceed with our program. There will be no re- beginnnig for those who failed to take ad vantage of the door that swung out and took us in. There will be no path for those who lose the route. If we pass the exam ination successfully, we foresee our aim accomplished several weeks hence. We do not mean for the above statement to be peonatic or arid; ,ve merely fall in line with Bruce Barton who says: I do not like the phrase “Never cross a bridge till you come to it.” The world is owned by men who cross the bridges miles and miles in advance of the procession. Brother Forsythe, one of the stars of the Howard basket ball team, met with us last week. He was greatly impressed over our plans for the year. Brother Martin is Assistant Captain of the 1929 “Bulls.’ His popularity as well as his efficiency was shown during the election. Brother Baker is missed very much on the court. He W'as expected to be one of the main cogs in Coach Taylor’s Quint. At present his leg is mending nicely. The entertainment given during the hol idays was attended by many out-of-town collegians from Shaw, Livingstone, Win ston-Salem Teachers College, Atlanta Uni versity, Barber and A, & T; Virginia State, Fiske and Howard, were the institutions represented. We appreciate the kindness of the Fraternity daring this occasion. foot ball team. The,\- can assure them selves of our hearty and loyal support. With the erection of a gymnasium at Smith basket ball becomes one of our ma jor sports; and again w'e find Sophomores aspiring for laurels on the court; namely, Avant, “Dump” Horne, “Red” Ellis, Mc Dowell, “Jimmy” Tucker, Goodw'in and Red Lindsay. Not egotistic, however, but we find the “Sophmen” playing the role of one of the most important characters in the drama of the University, but we still maintain that the geometrical theorem, “The whole is greater than any of its parts, and is equal to the sum of all its parts,” holds true.
