Sims of 2622 No. 25th street, son of Mrs. Lillie Simms Williams received his third degree from Creighton university this past June. He was the only Negro numbreed among a class of 291 students. In June 1931, he received his first degree of Ph. C. (Pharma ceutical Chemist). In June 1936, he was awarded ,the degree B. S. Phar. (Bachelor Science in Pharmacy). Continuing his studies as a chemical analyst, the degree of B. S. C. (Bache lor Science in Chemistry) was conferred upon him in lieu of a Masters Degree which is not given in Pharmacy at Creighton university. Born in Ellis County, Texas, John came to Omaha with his mother at the age of ten. Prac tically all of his education has been obtained in Omaha schools, lie was graduated from Ho ward Kennedy and Omaha Central high in 1921 and 1925 respectively. After working for three years earning money to go to college, he entered Creigh ton as a freshman in Septem ber 1928. Complimnts of NEISNER’S Sc to $1.00 Store Quality Counts Prices Sell Abe Tannenbaum, Proprietor The Closed Door Standing on the threshhold of life youth is confronted with its two doors, Success, TIIE CLOSED DOOR, to Which few ever possess the k)ey and Failure, THE OPEN DOOR, which has no key. Tins m|fty seem strange ,tjo the youth who, upon completing a part of his educational coutrse, fldels within himself that1 he is now fully armed to conquer lifle and all its perplexities. True, though the door to success is closed, it bears the in scription “Enter, all who may.” This in itself is deceiving to many; for upon turning the golden handle, we fifrtd it, much to our disappointment, locked—and on the otjher sidle we hear hap py voices of the faithful few who did posset the key. Then, Iks if from, another world, we are confronted witjh thle vistion of an old man who'ill his wisdom tries to offer YOUTH the secret to .tHe CLOSED DOOR. And i*< his flcehle voice he utters these words: Fa!|th—Hope—Charity, tliese three, are the only key to success, THE CLOSED DOOR. Youth, thou must have faith, first in thyself and then in ,lfiy fellownwm. Next thou must be possessed of charity. Shed thy cloak of selfishness and “Do untjo otthers as you would have them do unto you." And last but not least Hope—Ix>ok forward always, never backwards; for with the corning of the dawn, a new day is born bringilug with it nidw thoughts, new aims and new visions. But YOUTH, oftimes, is inclined to doubt the varacity of old age—many laugh and reply, “Whlat snyest, thou, fool? Does thou not see that; I am Youth" Thus, with these wantonly ut tered words, he tosses away the secret of the key ,t)o the CLOSED DOOR and turns bin footsteps .tjoward that door which is never closed, THE OPEN DOOR, Failure. And the thoughtful few who can see thle greait wisdom in .t^he old mail's words bow their heads and kneel in holy mein before his vision, thus receiving tihe secret to the closed door. _ Thus, with .the same mind as the old man, The Omaha Guide dedicates this issue to the GRADUTES OF 1937, YOUTH. To the CLOSED DOOR those three Will make .t^iy path of life sublime, Fait h—Hope—Charity With these, the key is t’hine. HOWARD KENNEDY Marian Gray Emmett Capelton Vera S.
