Thought of the Week
He that may hinder mischief
yet permits it, is an accessory.
^ E. A. Freeman
» Halloween is over, but it was
fun while it lasted. Among the
many parties there was one given
by Mattie Sue Nevels and Charles
Goosley. The tables were dec
orated with orange and black
napkins with jack-o-lanterns etc.
Red baloons were hanging around
the room. The evening was spent
playing games. The guests ate
by candle light, refreshments
were ice cream, cake, cider, pea
nuts, and candy. Everyone had a
lot of fun.
As the story goes, One day last
week a certain F. P. almost broke
^up the Latin class in room 205
when she saw Cathedral football
boys practicing on Lincoln High’s
north field.

For you? Negro History
Scrapbook
Last Article: The Pygmies, the
Bushmen ,the Hottentots, and the
Bantu.
Many people wonder why it is
that the Negro thrived and is still
thriving in centers of modern
civilization. In order that we
might know why the Negro has
fused so easily into the American
Civilization, we must learn more
about Africa. Some people won
der if the culture of the African
was anything like American cul
ture, or if the Negro is unusually
initiative and easy to become
fused with other cultures. When
we think of Africa, we often
think of wild cannibals eating
other African, but History says
that the African is the father of
civilization.
Were we to visit Africa today,
we would be utterly amazed at
the sights we would see. We
would see modern buildings in
some of the smaller cities and the
largest metropolises as Tunis,
Algiers, Cairo and . Alexandria.
Many of the buildings would be
more modern than those we see
in Lincoln. We’d see people of
all races, with a variation of
features and colors, walking up
and down the streets. We’d find
in the various parts, many con
trasts and extremes. An African
missionary mentioned to me a
few weeks ago that in all the
years she’s lived in Africa, she has.
never seen a cannibal as Ameri
cans often thing of Africans.
In the school where, I teach,
we have the loveliest little Afri
can girl who is much like our
girls in many respects.
In North America, we are di
vided into states, and in some
parts of Africa, the state has
reached quite an advanced stage
when we speak of Africa, we
must always have in mind, that
we are speaking of a large place
with an estimated population of
more than 170,000,000 people.
Many writers have stressed that
the king ruled in all parts of
Africa with absolute authority
but this is not true for he does
not rule with absolute sway in
all parts. The king is either chos
sen by a council of state, or he
receives his high position by
heredity. “He is commander-in
chief of the forces of the state
and he is arbuter of all disputes
arising among the provences of
his jurisdiction. But the local
governments of his providence
seldom suffer from interference
on the part of the king. His prob
lem is rather that of maintaining
the peace.”
f’ C.C. Woodson. The Negro in
our History, p. 23
My Definition of an
American Negro
An American Negro is a person
in whose veins flow the blood of
all races. As America is the melt
ing pot of the Nation, so the
Negro is the melting pot of
America. The Negro is the result
of the blending of the races with
the Negro as the dominating
factor.

Club Organized
Mrs. A. F. Adams, Reporting
Lincoln will soon be reading
and hearing a lot about the new
Les Semmes Club which was re
cently organized, by a group of
young married women of the city.
The club now consisting of ten
members expects to expand con
siderably in the near future. With
Dan Cupid being so busy during
the summer months, this should
n’t be a difficult job.
Mrs. Howard Deane, president,
started the club action by enter
taining with a party on Hallo
ween night. All club members
and their husbands were present.
Plans are already underway for
an unusual affair to be given on
New Years Eve. Other members
are, Mrs. Vincent Williams, secre
tary-treasurer, Mrs. Homer Rife
Mrs. Walter Winston, Mrs. Joseph
Whitebear, Mrs. Eugene Davis,
Mrs. Andrew F. Adams, Mrs. Les
ter Collier, and Miss Maxine Wal
ker.
