A-M???-
This Is A-M Day; H-hour
Coming At Chapel Period
ATho, what, whenf where, why or how is A-M ?
<2uestior-s beginning with each of the above six words
were flying around the campus Monday morning— and have
been ever since — when students arriving for classes found
strange signs posted in' prominent places around the campus
beari lg the markings A-M followed by a big question mark.
* )nly one thing is definitely known. It is all a part of a
campaign sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity
and Ihe secret will be revealed at Chapel today. *
j ill the rest is merely a bunch of wild guesses and rumors.
Some of the more choice of these include :
Members of APO who are in on the secret have given out
a few hints at to the solution.
"First, it’s something no Howard student can escape. If
A-M doesn’t get you as a freshman be assured it will catch
you as a senior — especially on the big days.”
“But — (and this is confusing) — in spite of every student
being exposed to A-M most of them get it wrong. Did you
know that A-M even involves death?”
“ Although many students are ignorant of A-M there will
be times when they will rack their brain to remember so they
can t« 11 their children about it.”
“Л
is something to be proud of because it has a tradition
althoi gh there are people living who remember its beginning.”
“Л
is found, praised and discussed from grammar
schoo: through college, yet no school has A-M as it is found at
Howard.”-
T lat’s all the hints that have been given. If they aren’t
enoug l, why not go to chapel Friday morning and find out.
T ten leave chapel resolved that A-M will be Always Mag¬
nificent, Automatically Moving and an Apt Memorial to your
college career.
