by Sktrifun
I woe hem when Howard ar¬
rived back In tho 1000's. Of
course 1 was a whole lot smaller
then, and didn't have quite so
many rings around by middle.
But then everything get* older,
and it is avou said that tho older
ono is, the more wise he bacomos.
But regardless of the day that
I actually unfurled by little
leaves and peeked out at the
world, 1 sey that my birthday
was on a day baek In tho fall of
1807, when Howard College ar¬
rived at my site, and built s
school around me.
Of eouree, none of you remem¬
ber beck that long, (with the ex¬
ception of a few faculty mem¬
bers), but those days were nut
tho brightest Dio South had over
soon. Reconstruction was still un¬
der way, and a nation with a
broken heart wasibulloing a new
life on her old ashes.
I never will forget that first
day of school. I woke up early
that morning and naturally the
sun was shining bright on How¬
ard. 1 was Just as green as any
freshman that evor walked this
beautiful ole' campus. And here,
ole' illiterate me, I was going to
get an education out of this new
move, if I had to get it by hook
or crook. ■
I waited patiently for a profes¬
sor to come and bring his class
beneath my branches and lecture
on some great subject so I could
take notes. But that was before
the days of Mrs. V. G. and Dr.
Bailey, so I hud lo Just wutcli the
students clmnge classes.
But through the peaces» of
luasls, or something or other, I
lour noil a little at a time. From
my particular spot on the campus
1 got a pretty well-rounded edu¬
cation.
At the close of the century, the
whole world was beginning to
sing and at Howard there were
bicycles and bustles and students
used to ride to school on tho old
trolleys. In 1013, the military
school was done away with, and
a year later girls made their ap-
peorimce ut Howard, Ah, how
well I rsmemer the day. The
few who camo walked around
shyly, but oh how they Improved
the looks of the rumpus.
World wars cams and want,
and wars with Birmingham-
Southern loft scars on the build¬
ings of Howard, scars on our
proud history, and worst of all
scars on me. I don't know why 1
was always the one that 'South¬
ern came to take vengeance on,
