L DEDICATION In these trying times of sudden change and inse- curity there is something comforting and inspiring about a tradition. Birmingham-Southern is a tradi- tion, and the lives of dedicated men may be found throughout its pages of history. Dr. Abernethy ' s long period of continuous service is a tribute to his abilities. His love for his alma- mater came to life in him when he was an undergrad- uate at ' Southern. He was a member of the class of 1930, and as a student he took an active interest in the affairs on the Hilltop. He served as President of the Dramatics Club, President of his social fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and President of his Sopho- more, Junior, and Senior class. His participation as a student stimulated the interests in him which were to carry over into his later life. To a brilliant man who has graced our campus with his intellect, his writings, and his guidance . . . to a dedicated man who has given a wealth of serv- ice to his alma-mater — as an undergraduate, as a faculty member, and as our Dean . . . we dedicate this volume, the 1959 Southern Accent. DR. CECIL ABERNETHY FRO 4CULTY OF 5 ... TO A j;,, , - - i 4ijSi., .. FACULTY AND STAFF OF OVER 100 . . The highlight of the Alabama Methodist confer- ence session in 1854 was a sermon by the Reverend Archelaus H. Mitchell, one of the church ' s able de- fenders of religious education. His inspiring sermon created a great enthusiasm and began a movement toward the founding of old Southern University. A charter was obtained in 1856, and after three years of preparation, on October 3, 1859, old South- ern University opened its doors officially. Five pro- fessors including the president were on hand to wel- come the small number of students. Since the merger with Birmingham College, indus- trial Birmingham has been kind to Birmingham- Southern. Our annual budget has increased from $15,000 to over $800,000, and our faculty has in- creased from five to a faculty and staff of over one hundred. ft- DR. HENRY KING STANFORD ifi PRESIDENT As our active President, Henry King Stan- ford has widened the scope of our outlook and achieved our lasting respect of his abilities. His vast experience and travels, and his in- terest in all phases of campus life have stim- ulated Birmingham-Southern in many ways. He has made the whole college plant more efficient, and he has gained the respect and friendship of the students, the administration, and the faculty. r OARD OF TRUSTEES Front, Left to Right: Mr. E.

TO A ' ; ■■ ' •-•4. 4 W- ' - ' Vji ' ' STUDENT BODY OF OVER A THOUSAND . . . ■Ill III! II Ill II ill II 1 II In the opening year in 1859, fifty young men reg- istered for classes. The faculty had intentionally set high scholastic standards for the University. Dr. Wightman, the first president, felt that these stand- ards were not too high for a career of public use- fulness and reputation which awaits the University if they are adhered to with firmness . The next school years, however, opened without promise or enthusiasm. The war between the states occupied the attention of most parents and students. Only thirty-three students enrolled, and then a num- ber of them withdrew to join the confederate forces in Virginia. In spite of the wars, depressions and epidemics, however, the school thrived, and the enrollment has increased from fifty to over one thousand. THE SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS JOHN MARTIN .

In 1868 Julia Tutwiler asked for the ad- mission of women and was refused. Finally and reluctantly old Southern admitted women and awarded a degree of A.B. to Margaret Pickett, Miss Tutwiler ' s niece in 1897. Since women first gained entrance to old Southern University they have proven their versatility and charm in almost every field. Some of these girls, before they leave the campus scene, enter the fantasyland of fra- ternity sweethearts. Hilltop Neivs favorites. May courts and May queens. Southern Accent beauties and favorites, and a few have been chosen our queen — Miss Southern Accent. 87 Miss Joyce Bostick and Miss Nancy Chester entertain with a piano duet. THE BEAUTY PAGEANT FEATURES A FRENCH THEME Master of Ceremonies — TOM HEARN Atmosphere from Bill Nappi ' s band adds enchantment to the Beauty Ball. This year, under the leadership of Pageant Directors Connie Boze and Bob Lester, and the help of a staff of forty students, the Beauty Pageant was presented by the 1959 Yearbook. The Pageant, in its second year of existence, featured the fifteen finalists with a beautiful French theme and announced the yearbook queen — Miss Southern Accent. The gi rls who were in the upper division were eligible for tlie title and from these, the judges. Miss Lily Mae Caldwell, Miss Elberta Gibbs, and Mr. Bill Ozier chose our Queen. She was crowned by the 1958 Miss Southern Accent, Miss Barbara Neely, and honored at a ball following the Pageant. Without a Song is crooned by Dale Morrison. (m y fmE mTvccm Margie Mills Sponsored by Mortar Board This year one of the highest honors which Southern can offer to a girl — the title of Miss Southern Accent — was awarded to a beautiful, blue-eyed brunette — Miss Margie Mills. Margie is a senior, majoring in Religion and Philosophy, and is treasurer of Kappa Delta Epsilon educational sorority, vice-presi- dent of the Methodist Student Movement, and president of Mortar Board, the women ' s hon- orary leadership-service organization. Her soft graciousness, quiet reserve, and vivacious beauty have won for Margie the title of the most beautiful — Miss Southern Accent. 91 Carol Manasco Sponsored by Sigma Alpha Epsilon ■ Patricia Ellisor Sponsored by Kappa Delta ' T X is, ■M 1 k- . i !

Reigning this past year as Miss Alabama, was beau- tiful Lee Thomberry, our 1958 May Queen. Southern is especially proud of Lee, because her beauty and talent, not only won for her the Miss Ala- bama title, but also enabled her to be chosen one of the finalists in the Miss America Pageant. Lee is crowned May Queen at Southern by Lucretia Giattina, the May Queen of 1957. Attending is a former Southern co-ed, Anna Stange — Miss Alabama of 1957.

LEE THORNBERR Y REVEALING A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR THE GREEKS . . . On October 28, 1859, just twenty-five days after the opening of Southern University, a number of stu- dents met for the purpose of organizing a literary society, the Belles Lettres. The next day another group organized the Clariosophic Society of South- ern University , which later merged into Phi Kappa Sigma. These two groups competed with each other in exciting challenge debates. Although both of these societies now are mellow pages of the past, they pre- pared the way for the social fraternities and sorori- ties at Southern University. Greeks at Birmingham-Southern now have entered a prosperous era, which is budding with opportuni- ties for advancement in co-operation and understand- ing. Many of these greeks have philanthropic pro- jects in which they help some worthwhile organiza- tion, needy family, or children. Activities such as intramural sports, Catspaw, and Interfraternity Sing have helped build a spirit of friendly competition between these groups. This year has proved to have been a very successful advance in greek relations. 105 sfn l7 ' j1 ' V S ' l-u - 9 ' ! ' - Arnold, D. Sandefer, D. Mueller, B. Strain, E. Cecil, C. Suttle, J. Turner, M.

This year Kappa Delta has made headlines on ' Southern ' s campus. Their season began in high spirits because of a success- ful rush week which brought in fourteen new sisters. The entire chapter worked hard with philanthropic projects, scholastic aims, social events and campus activities. Our social events were numerous. The pledge class honored all sorority pledges with a traditional Hallo- ween party and the chapter enjoyed many banquets, par- ties, and coffees throughout the year. The Founders ' Day Banquet and the annual steak fry were very successful.

Having come from international convention with a silver bowl awarded for filling our rush quota for two consecu- tive years — the Zeta ' s continued this tradition and rush season ended with fifteen girls wearing our turquoise and grey pledge pin. With this start the Zeta Spirit seemed to spread into all areas of campus life. In campus organizations and activities Zetas could be found as president of the Re- ligious Council, co-editor of the Quad, and members of MEMBERS the Executive Council, the Honor Council, the Debate Team, and such honoraries as Alpha Lambda Delta, Al- pha Psi Omega, Triangle Club, and Who ' s Who in Amer- ican College and Universities. Other Zetas are repre- sented in the beauty section of the Southern Accent, and as fraternity sweethearts. Fun was ours to, with many parties filling up the cal- endar and climaxing another top year for Zeta Tau Alpha.

In 1942 when Beta Kappa and Theta Chi merged, this chapter became Beta Xi Chapter of Theta Chi. This year has been one of the most progressive years in the chapter ' s history. One of the most significant g,ccom- plishments was the organization of the long awaited alumnae charter. A crowded social calendar including the Christmas Dance, Red and White Ball, Rebel Reunion, Alumnae Reunion, and a house party in Florida accented this most successful year. MEMBERS Theta Chis took part in all phases of student govern- ment some of which are: ODK, I.F.C., Phi Eta Sigma, Theta Sigma Lambda, Executive Council, Triangle Club, and various religious organizations.

REVEALING AN EXTENSIVE f SYSTEM OF ORGANIZATIONS From the beginning the administration was ex- tremely concerned with the discipline of the students. No cuts were allowed in class, and absence from church was strictly forbidden. With this strict super- vision, most of the faculty looked with scorn on the idea of self government for the students, or any kind of extra-curricular organization. They favored only those organizations which advanced the academic side of education. Gradually the administration began to realize that these organizations would be an advantage to the stu- dent — providing a workshop for good citizenship. In the early 1900 ' s students organized the honor council to carry out the honor system more effectively. All kinds of clubs were formed; even an anti-tobacco league to discourage the use of tobacco came into being during this period. The organizations at Birmingham-Southern now have grown, under the active support and participa- tion of both students and faculty, into an extensive system. 133 THE STUDENT CABINET: Elliott Wright, Kay Lowe, Tom Hearn, Connie Boze, Penny Moore, William Randolph, Louis Braswell, and Winston Smith (not shown), THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION Student Government Association is the official campus organization of the Student Body. Officers are Tom Hearn, President; Johnny Biddle, Vice-President; Inez Thomas, Secretary; and John Woodham, Treasurer. The governing unit of this organization is the Student Legislature composed of representatives from both upper and lower divisions. This year ' s Executive Council (now Student Legislature) proposed and secured approval of a new Student Legislature which provided for the SGA. They also sponsored a Christmas concert and dance featuring The Hilltoppers. Other activities of the Legislature in- cluded issuing a monthly Student Calendar and improve- ment of traffic regulations. A Student Cabinet, which works in the field of Student Activities, consists of four permanent members and other appointed members from various areas of campus activity. This representative group plans such campus events as Cat ' s Paw and May Day and regulates Campus Elections and functioning of organizations.

BILL MITCHELL — Editor in Chief SOUTHERN ACCENT HARRIET BARNES — Business Manager Pictures, pictures and more pictures — until they all begin to look alike. In addition to pictures, there were mounds of copy sheets, write u ps and ex- change annuals confronting us. Pictures, ideas, word.s — these were the materials with which we began to work. To list all of those who had a hand in this work would be impossible. There are those who financed the book, and then those who moulded it. But there are many others who helped with the endless tasks involved in the preparation of the beauty pageant, scheduling ap- pointments for class pictures etc. This book repre- sents a year of work by unselfish students. We have tried to do more than give an accoimt of the activities of this year. Our goal is to reveal the history and the traditions of Southern in a way more meaningful to you. If, in the future, you feel that this edition reveals Southern in a new light, we will feel that it has accomplished its purpose.

During the greater part of the history of the institution, students have had little restrictions as to their games and sports, hut in the early days, just as it is today, intercollegiate football was con- sidered impractical. The major emphasis was placed on baseball and tennis at that time and strict regulations were imposed. Since then many changes have been made in both the varsity program and the intramural program. With the development of fraternities and sororities, our intramural program grew into a program in- volving a variety of sports such as football, base- ball, volleyball, basketball, and swimming. And this eventually gave birth to our school-sponsored individual sports program. In the course of years, the baseball team and tennis team died away as our major sports and basketball has grown into their places. Depending on interest shown each year, the school has sup- ported various varsity teams, such as a tennis team, a swimming team and finally, the wrestling team. Instead of imposing restrictions on sports, the school ' s ultimate aim now is to maintain a well balanced athletic program which provides ample opportunity for student participation. PANTHERS 1958-1959 This year, with seven returning lettermen, the Birmingham-Southeni Panthers did not achieve the record that was expected of them. The cagers, how- ever, were almost unbeatable on their home court and finished with a 13-12 record. In spite of the long, tough schedule that the team faced, the players gave it all they had, and this year eleven men were awarded a varsity basketball letter. Returning lettermen Andrews, Pickel, Yelverton, Stooke, Thompson, Clem, and Light got letters again this year, and Bryan, Waggoner, Hines, and Ro- chelle also received a 1958-1959 letter. With five lettermen leaving, the prospects for next year look uncertain, but we will be able to depend on the six remaining lettermen to do their best. They may surprise us. A word of encouragement, and Coach Burch sends the team out with determination to keep their lead.

Those who received a varsity wrestling letter were Jack Phillips, John Putman, Elvin Hilyer, Eddie George, Martin Kite, John Culverhouse, Dan Kitch- ens, and Bob Gay.

The council is composed of representatives from each of the groups which partici- pate in intramurals. Emphasis is placed on a varied type of program in which hundreds of students may participate in some way. Such sports as touch football, volleyball, basketball, swimming, ping-pong, paddleball, badminton, tennis and Softball, serve to feed the competitive spirit of many, and the winners are given cups and medals. 173 The ATO football champions score one of their winning touchdowns Bodie Cole — Ping-Pong Champion Johnny Martin stepped up as badminton champ by defeating Johnni Biddle. 174 The swimming relay competition always causes excitement!

This year the efforts of the Intra- mural Council have been directed to- ward increased participation in the women ' s intramural program. The pro- gram includes volleyball, badminton, basketball, ping-pong, swimming, soft- ball, and tennis. The comicil each year sets up the tournaments directed by managers of the various sports. Major changes have been made in the total program. The managers have worked closely with sorority and independent representatives to m aintain the intra- mural program on a high plane of efficiency and good sportsmanship. Senior Manager . .

REVEALING A CAMPUS LIFE FILLED WITH ACTIVITIES Students through the years have not been without their activities. Many tales could be told to lighten our history. A system of espi- onage prevailed in the early years of the school which was partly responsible for a lack of fellowship between faculty and students. Any surplus vitality which the boys had was worked off at the expense of the faculty. The hiding of professors ' buggies was a stock joke and occasionally professors were locked in rooms by promising young students. Our early history is full of hair-breadth escapes from professors, foot races, vengeful pranks and April Fool escapades. Since that time, however, better faculty- student relations have stopped the persecution of professors. Although even now our student still has his pranks, imagination is used more frequently in our well planned all-campus activities. 181 ' • J A ' THE FALL CAMP WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS Freshmen brought all their luggage to the dormitories, donned sports clothes, and eager- ly climbed into the busses, headed for Fall Camp. In the informal atmosphere of Camp Win- nataska, over four hundred new students along with faculty members and student lead- ers set dieir sights on a new year of college life. The success of the camp was evident in the enthusiasm with which everyone made friends, discussed problems, participated in folk games, and joined in worship. On Saturday night at the talent show spon- sored by the Triangle Club new students showed their talents at entertaining. As a means of orientating new students the camp proved invaluable. In an informal discussion group, Dr. Stanford and Dr. Beaudry explain what ' Southern has to offer. 1 ; ' j ,1 la %Wt §ii JmijSk 1 Try ifil ws z iP ■■ - ' V PI R r PI f MB .Jf i f ' jMf 1 II3A_ H Mi 7 The grand march begins an evening of folk games.

Murray, a young, out- standing, and heartwarming Bishop of the Episcopal Church. They found him completely aware of the problems which confront a college student, and his sermons during the week, For All of Life, With All Thy Mind and Strength, To Love and to Cher- ish, and And Who Is Thy Neighbor, were well received. The Catholic and Jewish students had services of their own con- ducted by Father Eugene Mueller, and Rabbi Stamfer. The services, devotionals and discussion groups created sincere interest and increased ties of fellowship among students. BISHOP MURRAY addresses the student body at con- vocation. Father Eugene Mueller, Rabbi Nathaniel Stamfer, and Bishop George Murray greet Dr. Stanford and some students at their reception. Southern ' s full choir is very popular and is open to all students. ' SOUTHERN ' S CHOIR Under the direction of Mr. Raymond Anderson, Southern ' s choir is a very necessary part of campus life. The beautiful anthems during Religious Empha- sis Week, the entertaining convocation programs, and the annual Christmas program are a few of the activi- ties which make the campus proud of the choir and the choir members. Because of its fine reputation the choir is enthusi- astically received by churches and schools on its an- nual choir trip. This year the choir toured north Ala- bama and southern Tennessee. Ginny Sue Trimble, Assistant, and Mr. Raymond Anderson. Choir Director. It is quite an honor to be chosen to represent the school in the Birmingham-Southern Touring Choir. 185 THE MR. HILLTOPPER SHOW Once more, this year the annual Mr. Hilltop- per show was presented to ' Southern students by the Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority. For more than fifteen years this variety show has brought out some of ' Southern ' s best entertainers. The candidates for Mr. Hilltopper are select- ed by each of the sororities and fraternities, and the final choice is made by the audience at the performance. The announcement of Mr. Hill- topper of 1959 — Art Hopper, was made at the dance following the program. All of the proceeds from the show are given to the AOPi ' s National philanthropic project, the Social Service Department of the Frontier Nurs- ing Service in Kentucky. MR. HILLTOPPER (Art Hopper) with his wife is seated bv Judy Cook and Linda Stokes of AOPi. Thirteen candidates were nominated by various groups on campus Quartet from PiKA gives out with a tune. For SAE, Miss Larry Ann Clopton sings one of Ben Price ' s compositions. 1S6 Filled with school spirit , the ATO quartet sings our Alma Mater — Hillbilly style. CATS PAW Vice President Johnnv Biddle gives the winners ' trophies to Harold Pickel (KA) and Leiser Chandler (Pi Phi). The field was open for any type stunt this year, but satire remained king. National and local topics (from the Waters Chapel sign to dahling Tallulah) were conscientiously distorted and satirized. The winning KA-Pi Phi skit had excellent character rep- resentation — from the poetry spouting Dean (Harold Pickel) to boisterous Pearl (Betty Scruggs) of the Book Store (Seethin ' Saloon). The Theta Chi-A Chi skit won second place with a You Are There theme, and the PiKA-AOPi skit was third with a well-staged take-off on Anthony and Cleopatra. John Woodham acts as commentator on the Theta Chi-AChiO, You Were There skit. The KA ' s and the Pi Phi ' s teamed up to entertain us with their Saga of Seething Saloon . 1S8 The ATO ' s and TU ' s present a large scale satire of campus scenes.
