THE HENRY LAWRENCE

The Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary
held its beginning during a new social era in
American life. It was founded as a result of
the Christian zeal and philanthropic spirit
that characterized the total missionary move-
ment of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., to

aid the freedom of the middle nineteenth cen-
tury.

With the freedom of the middle nineteenth
century came the opening of new frontiers of
evangelism to the Negro. This caused an in-
creased enrollment in theological seminaries
and a need for more and better facilities.

McCROREY THEOLOGICAL BUILDING

To cope with the need of the hour the
Alumni and friends of Johnson C. Smith Uni-
versity initioted o movement to raise money
for the erection of a new Theological Building.

This building provides an office for the
Dean of the Seminary, an office for the Di-
rector of the Catawba Synod's Field Program,

six offices for teachers, one conference room,
the Library for the School of Theology, a medi-
tation club room, seven class rooms, a work
room for the Librarian, a student club room
end janitorial and storage room. This
building became a realization on November
12, 1955 when it was dedicated.

TO OUR PARENTS
OUR GUIDING LIGHT

the key to INSTRUCTION

Ulie j-^^reiident S iVU

Character, scholarship, maximum effort,
and motivation to serve, are among the de-
sirable characteristics that should be the out-
come of a four-year college experience. I
congratulate the Senior Class of 1956 on the
opportunity afforded its members, through
the publication of THE BULL, to experience
growth in these directions. I salute the mem-
bers of the Senior Class who ore going to

eSSaae

exemplify in their lives these characteristics.
Our society needs men and women who pos-
sess these traits in a high degree.

Smith is dedicated to the task of providing
more and richer opportunities for such de-
velopment on the part of its students. Our
desire and aim are that each of you will attain
and maintain a FIRST CLASS status in your
total life.

The Student Council is an organization,
composed of student representatives based on
the belief of faculty and students that there
are "educational, social, and moral values in
student participation and self direction" and

on the desire of students "to develop and
maintain high ideals of conduct, to co-operate
effectively with the administration and fac-
ulty in holding high standards of citizenship
and scholarship in the University."

I can hardly believe that ten years ago we
were graduated from Johnson C. Smith. How-
ever, the class of 1956 just had its class re-
union and what a joy to see so many members
of that class.

As I boarded the plane in Las Vegas for
Charlotte, I recognized some familiar faces.
Thomas Bryant was the pilot and Margaret
Thomas, Pearl Pitts and Susie McGill were
stewardesses on the plane. I recognized
George Cunningham and Carol Deloatch.
Carol is a pediatrician now practicing in Cali-
fornia.

I proceeded to read the paper that I bought
at the airport. I see here that Pecola Abraham
is journalist for the New York Times. She
has written a very interesting article about
the work that James Brown and Mary Etta
Booker are doing in Chungkin, China and
New Delhi, India. She mentions also that
Robert Blanks is in Germany working for
U.N.E.S.C.O.

At last we are in Charlotte and believe it
or not, but the campus hasn't changed a bit.
The first person I recognized was Nellie Flem-
ing. Nellie tells me that she and Muriel Dock-
ery, Mary Dorsey, Jane Love and Ernestine
Rowe are working in Chicago at a school for
delinquent girls.

Many of our classmates went into the
teaching profession. Dwight Caldwell is prin-
cipal at Green Elementary School in Jackson,
Miss. Working with Dwight ore Wilhelmina
Page, Reother Forbes, Hiram Holland, and
Laura Gibson.

From Mississippi to California we find
Smithites working to train young minds. Roy
Mcllwain serves as Assistant Principal at
Double Oaks Elementary School in Riverside,
Calif. Under his fine leadership we find Car-
rie Hill, Barbara Medford, Margaret Smoot,
Tayioria Stroud, and Bessie Graham.

Some remained in Charlotte to do deeds for
humanity. William Partlow, James Griffin,

and Eugene Poole have certainly developed a
terrific football team at Smith. Oscar Thomas,
James Colson, Hayden Renwick are also mem-
bers of the Smith Faculty, while Roland Erwin
serves as School Doctor.

In Charlotte we also find many Smithites
teaching. Those in the class of '56 are:
Frances Davis, Willie Smith, Mildred Walker,
Mildred Harris, Irie Stephens, Mary McAfee,
Nell Brogden and Carolyn Garrison.

Some of the class went into business. Juan-
ita Wideman is a Beauty Culturist at El Paso,
Texas; Robert Wells, Lawyer; William Banks,
Vice President of the Union Bank in Tusca-
loosa, Alabama; Beatrice Taylor, Physical
Therapist; Thad Rhodes; Novelist; Leon Wat-
kins, Psychologist; William Rodgers, Doctor;
Frances Jackson, Fashion Designer; Rose Cob-
iness, Literary Critic; Woddell Johnson, Pub-
lisher; Frank Gaither, Mortician; Walter Wil-
liams, Singer; Edison Towe, Football Coach;
Helena Sammons, Painter; Lester Wade,
Mathematician; Lunell Jackson, Social Work-
er; Delia Joggers, Historian; Betty Young,
Poet; Shirley Williams, Educator; Robbie
Walker, Physicist; Josiah Washington, Social
Worker; Evelyn White, Teacher; Edna Strong,
Model; Doug Spears, Baseball Manager; Ar-
thur Slade, Biologist; Audrey Russell, Teacher;
Roosevelt Pierce, Chemist; Julia Nelson, Sec-
retary; Ernest James, Principal; Beverly Kelly,
Actress; Paul Ledbetter, Newspaperman;
James Lewis, Lawyer; Ralph Hunt, Mathema-
tician; Harold Holt, Brain Surgeon; Constance
Hill, French Writer; Althea Harris, Registered
Nurse; William Harris, Minister; Frances
Gamble, Teacher; Janie Freeman, Social
Writer; James Davis, Interpreter; and Mamie
Clements, Librarian.

It mokes me very happy to see so many of
us have succeeded and accomplished the
things that we hove been striving for. To the
class of 1956 God Bless You one and all.

help the graduating seniors to remember past

It is the hope of the Bull Staff that their

BAND

During the school year of nineteen-hundred
and fifty-three fourteen students combined to
form what will inevitably be one of the in-
fluencing organizations on the campus of
Johnson C. Smith University. These students
and their advisors worked diligently that year
trying to moke their organization outstanding.

New students were added to this organiza-
tion during the school year of nineteen-
hundred and fifty four making a total of
twenty-eight, the future looked bright and

the organization was beginning to be rec-
ognized on the campus.

Brighter still was the future when at the
first meeting during the school year nineteen-
hundred and fifty-five the organization added
ten new members. Now with a total of thirty-
eight members the organization is gradually
progressing toward perfection.

This organization is, by the way the John-
son C. Smith University Bond under the ex-

In the Spring of 1930, the Science Club of
Johnson C. Smith University published on ar-
ticle in the University Student, a campus pub-
lication, about the activities and functions of
the science club. The article was read at Lin-
coln University, the home of the charter chap-
ter of Beta Kappa Chi, and immediately the
Science Club of Johnson C. Smith University
was invited to affiliate with the former organ-
ization.

Under the leadership of Mr. Frank Wil-
liams, who was an instructor at Johnson C.

HISTORY OF BETA KAPPA CHI

Smith, in the science department, the Delta
Chapter of the Beta Kappa Chi Scientific So-
ciety was organized in 1930.

The charter members were: H. B. Ruther-
ford, H. S. Blue, J. E. Belton, E. C. Hall, F.
Bogle, Ernest Gregg, A. D. Belton, E. M. Ellis.

The chapter name has been changed to
the Johnson C. Smith University Chapter in-
stead of the Delta Chapter. However, the aims
and standards have remained the same. The
Society aims to promote good scholarship and
an interest in the scientific studies.

PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL

For the purpose of creating better relations
among the several sororities and fraternities
on the campus, of affording equal opportuni-
ties, and of administering justice according
to its constitution for the mutual good of the

groups, the Pan-Hellenic Council was organ-
ized in 1929, In all its efforts it has attempted
to concert the best measures for the promotion
of the sororities and fraternities and the de-
velopment of college life in general.

ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY

The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was
founded at Howard University, Washington,
D. C, in 1908. It was proposed by Ethel H.
Lyie that this organization would cultivate
and encourage ethical standards among col-
lege girls.

They named the organization Alpha Kappa
Alpha and their chapter. Alpha and thus be-
come the first Sorority for Negro Women in
the United States. The Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority, therefore, blazed the way for others
that came later.

DELTA SIGMA THETA

The founders of the Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority visualized in 1913, at Howard Uni-
versity, an organization whose aim would be
something more serious than social activity.
They longed to see developed a union of col-

lege women based on certain cardinal princi-
pals and pledged to uphold lofty ideals. Col-
lege women of like potentialities and dedicat-
ed to the same ideals and purposes.

KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY

Kappa Alpha Psi was founded at The Uni-

hold the ideals of our fraternity. The un-
quenched desire for the attainment of this
goal is always present within the character of
the members.

The German Club of Johnson C. Smith Uni-

and has operated continuously and successful-

the German classes. Since this date a consti-
tution has been drawn up which requires mem-

bership on a voluntary basis. It has expanded
to include students not taking German but
who wish to participate because of their inter-
est in German and the German cultures.

The program of the German Club has a
dual nature, being divided between the social
and cultural.

The Ira Aldridge Dramatic Guild was re-
organized this year under the capable guid-
ance of Mrs. Ernestine Baylor as our advisor.

During the schohol year 1955-56 the Guild
presented three fine productions, "You Can't
Take It With You," "A Man Called Peter,"
and "Laura." The students who moke up the
Guild also made several trips to other cam-

puses and to two meetings of the Dramatics
Conference at Fayetteville State Teachers'
College.

The Guild is now in the process of making
plans for the school year 1956-57, which
promises to be a very active and successful
year for the Ira Aldridge Dramatics Guild.

FOOTBALL TEAM

Since the ancient days of Greek mythology,
sports have remained the world's favorite
pastime. Olympia, the home of the gods of
Greekdom, was considered the site of the
"absolute" in sportsmanship and athletic
prowess. The famed Grecian discus thrower
of yore, represents today the epitome of ex-
cellence paid to the legendary gods of ancient
Rome and Greece, that we proceed to discuss
the merits of our various teams.

In football, our team receives the laurel
wreath for its complete alliance with the rules
of the game. Even though we were not always
victorious OS far as the winning of the game

was concerned, one factor remained fairly
obvious; the team exemplified the finest in
clean sportsmanship and allegiance to the
Alma Mater.

And as the good host in diplomacy saves
the most tantalizing dish for the last course,
so we have done here in the praising of our
coaches. But we seem to reach an all-encom-
passing dilemma. For we have neither the rhe-
torical genius of the philosopher, Plato, nor
the devout eloquence of Daniel Webster. Be-
cause of this shortcoming we can only say,
"Coaches' Your merits and achievements
defy expression in our insufficient wording."

was William Partlow. Since
fighting their way off the
bench their freshman year
they have been known as
the one-two punch of the
"Golden Bulls." Although
groduating this year, Smith
fans will long remember the
deadly hookshot of Part-
low's and the fine ball
handling of Dickie Wells.

COACH CLINE

WILLIAM PARTLOW
Center

Basketball, originated by James Nai-Smith, some f+iree cen-
turies back, has always been a game of co-ordination and stam-
ina. From the old and varied miscellany of heights, have
emerged the toll, gangly giants of today's game. These "hard-
wood iockeys," have mode the gome of basketball a fast and
thrilling gome.

Our bosketball team here at dear old J.C.S.U., follows in the
wake of this laudable tradition. No other team stands higher in
the ranks of clean sportsmanship than our dearly beloved
"Bulls." It IS truly a noteworthy spectacle to watch such o
team in action; men who play with their hearts as well as their
bodies, Such'a feat dares to go unrecognized. Pardon us then
dear "Bulls," while we switch to the mathematical language
and soy, "Cheers to the Nth degree, and Salutes well- up in the
Millenium!"

that is the fact that these lovely creatures are chosen on the
basis of personality, intelligence, and poise. Not all the
Queens ore shown here. It is the Bull Staff's regret that we

In you we saw a character made beautiful by sim-
plicity of heart and sincerity of purpose. Character for
you meant high ideals of integrity, a true and simple
life, and a profound need to walk close to God. Friend-
ship to you was merely a natural release of abundant
love and affection. Your principles were lofty and many,
and because you lived them, personified them, eternal
will be your memory and sweet our recall.
