Victory was ours once again Fri
day night as the Wildcats defeated
the Wilson team 1888. Although it
was a mighty close game, and a
very good one, we came out on
ton and still hold the lead for
number of games won. Our fellas
have played swell ball this year
and have succeeded in making ev-
ery game a thriller. AS usual the
gym was filled to overlooking and
some poor late-comers had to
listen to the cheers of the crowd
from outside of the gym.
Last night the Wildcat staff gave
their annual dance which proved
to be a great success. Many plans
had been made for this dance
under the able leadership of Sue
Norton. Retire. hments were the re-
sponsibility of Betty Payne who did:
a good job in obtaining cokes. What
we want to know is where did you
find them??? Pat Howe headed the
cleanup committee and was re-
sponsible for disrnantling the gym
which had been decorated by the
helpful members of the journalism
class. The decorations carried out
the theme of tacky dance by
being green, blue, orange, white,
black, and red crepe paper strips
strung across the top of the gym
in the regular fashion. Figures of
boys and girls jitterbugging in dun
garees and plaid shirts were plac-
ed at either end of the gym Gthese
were drawn by Miss Lossenss art
classes), and back issues of the
Wildcat adorned the baketball
backboards. All the tramps of
MINIS were in their glory as they
waltzed in clad in dungarees, plaid
shirts, and those battered hats for
which most of them have become
famous.
The florists were quite busy this
past Valentine 1t seems as if

with the Negroes; and they are
thereby preparing themselves for
an irresistible advancement. Quite
as significant as supreme court de-
cisions is the Georgia decision to
drive the Ku Klux Klan out of
Georgia and eventually the south.
The Greyhound bus has already in
dicated it's intentions to end segre-
cation. The removal of segregation
can be immeasurably hastened by
Negroes themselves by an improve
ment in their general public deco
rum and especially by more atten-
ton to their attire. Negroes gen
orally are a working people and
for this no apologies are needed.
But too often we are not careful
about our dress travelling to and
from the job on public carriers.
The Southern Negro can herein
learn a mighty fine lesson from his
northern compatriots. Northern
Negroes have learned to use their
lockers and when the job is done
they dress before going out; and
it is difficult to tell who is who
and who works where, and at what.
It is different in the south where
Negroes have not become locker.
conscious. Even in the north the
newly arrived migrant from the
subs in attire that is deplorably
striking. Because of the large mum
bers of southern Negroes in the
north, the general appearance of
the Negroes in the north has gen
orally deteriorated within recent
years.
1t is just as we'll for us to know
that this slovenness in dress is a
milestone about our necks. The Ne
gro is dark in complexion and is
thereby handicapped, but when he
is dark and dirty and disagreeable
he is thrice handicapped. The world
war instead of solving problems
and decreasing difficulties has

not forgive his dirt. His disagree
ableness is justified ofttimes by the
circumstances under which he must
i've and move and have his being
1t is not good for segregated people
to become too agreeable. Darkness
and dirt and disagreeableness make
bad combination with which tC
fight segregation; but Negroes car
do something about the dirt.

The lnterracial situation is grad
ually improving. The supreme court
decisions and the rise of Ellis
Arnallism in the south and the more
accurate understanding of Negroes
themselves, presage a brighter day.
At the close of World War I Ne
grOes were illusioned that in some
miraculous way the race would be
ushered into the department of full
fledged citizenship, and when the
race received it's great rebuff, there
was darkness that came upon the
race that in retrospect constitutes
one of the greater tragedies Of his
tory. The Negro knocked in vain at
the doors of a democracy he had
died to save.
Today the picture has changed
and the Negro realizes now that
the road ahead is still rough and
rugged and in this realization he
gives promise of ultimate victory.
Negroes are everywhere girded for
a long hard fight and this is far
better than printing ourselves for
an overnight event that a hundred
things are conspiring to postpone.
Today as was not the case at the
conclusion of World War ], the Ne
gro is gearing his plans more for
self help and self determination.
Whereas in the former case we ex-
pected some miraculous deliver
ance, today we are reposing our
hopes in God and time and right
and in our own resolves to find a
way or make one. This is the most
hopeful sign in the whole unhappy
situation.
Gradually - too gradually OF
course - we are learning the value
of jobs. Gradually = too gradually
of course = we are learning the
value of the ballot and it's tremen
dous possibilities. Gradually = toe
gradually of course - we see the
possibilities of intra racial coopera
ton epitomized in the doctrine OF
the Double Duty dollar Gradually

are beginning to take note of oul
public behavior which is so large
determinant Of public opinion
which is in the last analysis the
final determinant as to whether the
Negro shall become a full-fledgec
citizen, and when and how. 1t is tC
be observed that these intra-racia
indications are quite as important
as any of the outward manifesto
tions.
