THE ALPHA OMEGA CLUB
By Frank Wilkerson
There was a great commotion
at the corner of 30th and Lake
Sts. Sunday afternoon as 27 mem
bers of the Alpha Omega Club be
gan their mad scramble to occu
py four fine automobiles. We were
off to spend an enjoyable evening
at Mandin Park, with Harold Mat
thews taking the lead in the con
voy in his Green Hornet, Miss
Florentine Goodlett following in
her Blue Bird, M. L. Reed follows
in his Black Beauty and bringing
up the rear was Udoxie and Odes
sie Goodwin in their Blue Heaven.
The convoy was very colorful
with the cars filled with fine chics
and handsome boys.
At last we arrived at Mandin
Park where we found a grill to
roast weiners on and water to
make punch. The fire was made
by Edsell Hudson and Frank Wil
kerson which was little more than
a spark Then there was a mad
scramble and the whole gang
were trying to roast their weiners
at once as the boys tried in vain
to convince the girls that boys
should be first. Florentine Good
lett and Marjorie Marshall made
some very delicious punch. It was
so good and sweet I know they
must have put their fingers in it.
We were then entertained with
beautiful songs sung by Leonard
King, Edsell Hudson and George
Moore. The songs rendered were
“Route 66”, “Prisoner of Love”,
and “I Love My Baby”. Then
George Moore takes the Club for
a loop by singing “Some How”.
After which we played games
such as give on, leap frog, hide
and-seek, punchinella, etc. When
from out of no where comes Miss
Jean Rudd with songs for all to
sing, such as “Hey Ba Ba Rebop”
“Engine in the Ford", “I've been
Working on the Railroad”, etc.
The program was prepared by
Miss Charlotte Green, Mr. Leon
ard King and Miss Tessie Ed
wards. Next week we hope to go
on a swimming party.

The two famous baseball teams
the Kansas City Monarchs and the

CA their headquarters while in the
city Tuesday for their game in i
Council Bluffs. This gave opport
unity for the T secretary John j
R. Butler to renew acquaintances!
with several members of both the !
teams whom he had previously
been assaciated. Reese “Goose'’ j
Tatum famous first baseman of
the Indianapolis Clowns, was guest
basketball official for the USO at
the time of the first All Service
man Basketball tourney in 1944,
while he was stationed at the Lin
coln Air Field. “Dizzy” Dismukes

worked with Butler in Columbus

professional baseball teams there
which later turned out to be the
Indianapolis ABC Team. R. Dun

Monarchs, was a member of the
Special Service Office at Camp Ro-1

STANLEY R. OSBORN
The Stanley R. Osborn Fund is
one of the most constructive com
pliments ever paid to the Negroes
of Nebraska and elsewhere. While
the actual benefits will be shared
only by a few; it embodies a mes
sage of hope for 15,000,000 Ameri
cans. The message of hope is de
rived from the increased realiza
tion that many fair-minded mem
bers of other groups are not only
aware of the artificial and unpro
gressive barriers set up, but are
concerned to the extent of trying
in an effective way, to remove
such artificial barriers.
Action speaks a thousand times
louder than words. Such evidence
of friendship as the Osborn Fund
should encourage Negro Youth to
redouble their efforts towards a
recognizable part of our creative,
mechanical and cultural civiliza
tion.
Without training there is little
success, but it takes more than
training to succeed. Initiative plus
training equal the Irrepressible
Combination.
