THE SCHOOLHOUSE
There are many schools in many
places.
There are schools of every kind.
Rut there’s not a school so full of
grace
As that Old School of mine.
We have very nice lessons,
And 1 am sure that 1 can never
find
A school so good and gentle
As that Old School of mine.
1 will cherish the scliool so dear
ly,
Where the teachers are patient
andtrue.
There’s nothing that would fill
my heart with more clieer,
And there’s nothing for it 1 woul
not do.
I will honor the school which I
attend,
And I will try to attend every
day,
In everything I will try to win.
I’ll never change from this way.

CARVER DAY SPONSORED
BY PHYSICAL SCIENCE CLUB
The Physical Science ('lub op
ened its 1940 activities with itie
presentation of a program in
memorian totlie late. Dr. George
Washington ('arver noted scien
tist of Tuskegee. The program
was held at Smith Auditorium
•lanuary 4, 1940. ]\Irs. Xetlie Wil
liams chairman of the program
gave a brief sketch of Dr. (Car
ver’s life and accomplishments.
Other speakers on the program
were Miss Alma Young, Miss Ma
rian Lee, Mr. Frank Weaver.
One interesting feature of the
program was a quizz conducted
by Frank Weaver. The audience
was given an oral test with ques
tions covering a few details of
Dr. Carver’s private and public
life. A few of these ([uestions
were; 1. How many degrees did
Mr. ('.arver earn? How many de
grees wei’e conferred on Dr. (-ar
ver? Who was Dr. ('.arver’s as
sistant? What college did Dr. (’.ar
ver attend? Does his Alma Mater
honor him today? Why was Dr.
('arver the subject of discussion
today ?
The answer to this last ques
tion, svunmed up by Pres;dent
Seabrook, brought out the fact
that Carver Day was the culmina
tion of an exclusive honor enjoy
ed by no other Xegro American.
This was the first time that is
the lirst time that our govern
ment had officially set aside a
National Day in honor of a Xe-
gro.
