28th Anniversary
JCSU1948 Class Takes Annual Trin
. On July 30, the Johnson C.
Smith University class of '48,
in celebrating its 28th anni
versary, engaged in its annual
joy-journey. With Bynum Ni
cholson at the wheel of the
chartered bus, President Ed
die Byers invoked Divine bles
sings and protection for his
classmates and guests as they
journeyed to Wilmington,
North Carolina.
-Tho nnmatrhahlp
ship and spirit of together
ness, so typical of this class
reached a new peak as fhey
laughed, chipped and sipped
along the way. This high tem
po was accented at the end
of their destinatjpn by the cor
dial welcome of Wilmington
Alumni and friends with Mr.
and Mrs. AVillie W. Hassell,
host and hostess.
Thp rpH rarnot wac enroot
at the Wilmington Hilton Inn
as the trav^Jars were greeted
by the warm and congenial
■■•^es of attractive receptio
nists, and the weekend of fun
and frolic began immediately.
A variety program to delight
the most fastidious Epicurean
taste was well planned and
executed. There were many
highlights during the weekend
festivities, including a tour of
the city, deep sea fishing, golf,
tennis, beaching, shopping,
hodgepodge and cards, to each
his own. The hospitality room
was a well attended nook each
evening following activities.
Early Saturday morning,
the action began with each
person engaging in his pre
ferred activity. There were
two highlights of the deep sea
fishing: Magnolia McCombs
Pickens landed a shark, and
“Chuck” Bryant pulled in an
octopus and needless to say
that Inez Parker and the other
fishermen "rocked the boat”
as if “Jaws” had been landed.
The fishermen caught a few
fish but had loads of fun.
Eddie McGirt got a thrill out
of the top golf score of 100
made by Dr. Charles Bailey.
Dr. Roland Law reported that
the tennis match was a round
robin affair; with each player
enjoying both victory and de
feat: Bill McCombs defeated
McPhatter, Roland Law de
feated Bill McCombs and Mc
Phatter defeated Roland Law.
In the card game Virginia
Shadd and Lois Byers werje
declared the winners. Amonfe
the shoppers, Aurelia Liston
Law, Minnie McGirt, Helen
McCombs, Doris Banks and
Vivian Collins landed the most
bargains at a savino nf an
proximately $75.00.
The weatherman smiled
upon the iollv travelers until a

JOHNSON C. SMITH UNIVERSITY CLASS OF 1948
— On the patio at the Wilmington Hilton Hotel
few hours before the boat ride,
and then the torrential rains
came, but not a spirit was
dampened. It would have been
a joy for the least humorous
person to watch the elegantly
attired boat riders roll up their
swanky pants legs, take off
their shoes and wade across
the flooded streets to the boat
swaying in the Carolina Beach
harbor. Shortly after board
ing. the stars came out and so
smoothly did we glide up and
down the placid waters until
we had left the dock 30 min
utes before one land dweller
knew that we were moving...
Ghee! What a day.
In the writer's opinion and
apparently the consensus of
the group, the highest of the
highlights of the week-end
activities was the cordial hos
pitality and warm fellowship
in the palatial home of Mr. and
Mrs. Willie W. Hassell. On the
patio we were invited to crack,
shell and feast on a mountain
ous tray of shrimp. The noisy
cracking and shelling of the
shrimp vied with the hilarious
temper and laughter of those
who shelled, dipped and chip
ped. On the patio were also
clams and oysters on shells for
those with scrupulous tastes.
As if we had not already
reached our intake capacity
we retreated to the dining
room to partake of choice and
delectable hors d’ oeuvres and
dessert. It was altogether
lovely and completely satisfy
ing.
Showered with best wishes
and bon voyage, the high
spirited, travelers boarded
the bus about noon Sunday and
after a fervent plea Tor Divine
guidance and protection by
Thomas McPhatter, Bynum
Nicholson turned the bus
homeward.
