SPELMAN COLLEGE, ATLANTA, GEORGIA 1881-1959 GENEVA EVANS, Edifor EVELYN DORSEY, Business Manager With the help of all, we of the ReHections staff have sought to produce a yearbook rich in the traditions of Spelman College and, at the same time, one that may serve as a prologue to the future as Spelman moves ahead. We have moulded Our lives and minds to fit the Spelman pattern laid down for us by our predecessors. We hope we have left patterns that will help the coming Spelman generations to meet the dynamic challenge of tomorrow. We of the class of 1959 are proud to dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Grace Jason Perry. As our class sponsor during our furst two years at Spelman, and in her role as Registrar of the College since then, Mrs. Perry has led us successfully through the many trials and tribulations of college life. In this, our last group effort, we wish to express our continuing sense of obligation to Mrs. Perry.

ALBERT E. MANLEY, The Presioa'eniL Dr. Manlcyhs job as leader of our community and his devotion to the duties this job entails do not end when he leaves the ofhce. All of the stu- dents are used to Dr. Manley's attendance at most programs throughout the school year, and we are gTateful and pleased that Our president is interested in all the facets of our life at Spelman. Mrs. Dorothy Manley is an important part of the Spelman way of life even though she is a graduate of Fisk University.

In April, 1884-the third anniversary of the founding of the schooleMr. John D.

Senior Class History It was a cold, rainy, dreary,r day in September of 1955 when the class of '59 made its appearance at Spelman College. XV e were excited, anxious, and frightened. And the weather didnlt help at all. It rained all day. However, with the help of the upperclassmen, we managed to get to our dormitories and get our room assignments. Most of us were tired that firSt night, but we stayed up almost all night, talking, meet- ing new girls as they came in, and wondering what in the world Spelman was going to be like. The next morning we got up all excited and ready for our week of Freshman Orientation. The First day we had a num- ber of tests to determine our skills and capacities. The rest of the week we went. through more tests-mental and physi- cal. we had songs to be learned, facts about Speltnan to be learned, Do's and Don'ts. and many other things that would be of importance to us in our stay at Spelman. The next week the upperclassmen arrived on campus. We were quite anxious to meet our Spelman sisters. Classes got under way that week also. Many of us went to the wrong buildings, wrong classrooms and even wrong teachers that week. However, with the help of the upperclassmen we were finally on our way. We really felt a part of the Spelman family when we elected our class oflirers. Kay Bell was ehosen as our Presi- dent. Kay was from Evanston, Illinois, and she fascinated everyone with her Northern accent. As our ViceePresident, we elected Roslyn Pope. R05, as everyone called her, was from Atlanta and' was quite outstanding in the community. Our class sponsor was Mrs. Grace J. Perry, who at that time was the assistant tlean of women. We were really getting down to business. That year Margaret Rueker was chosen by Morehouse as 'lMiss Lampotla antl Carolvn 'W'illiams was a sweetheart of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Christina jaffer became a member of the AMS players and had a leading role in one of their plays. May came and it. was time for us to leave the walls of Spelman. After summer vacations we were back in Septem- ber of 1956 settling clown again to the regular routine of ColngC life. We spent a week talking about what we did over the summer, meeting new friends, and indulging in the regu- lar Chltvtillat. Finalhr we got down to the main business of college life. Roslyn Pope was elected as our class President, and our VieeePresitlent was Carolyn Crawford. That year we were determined to win the Founders Day Rally, and we did. Not onlyr did we win the rally but we won the song and quiz ttompctitinns connected with the rally. W'e were very proud and happy. After Founders Day the time flew and it was May and time to say goodbye again. There were no engagement rings that year, but quite a few fraternity pins. September of 195? had a special meaning for us. 'We were bigtime juniors. We had finally reached the point of being upperclassmen. Most of us were living in Abby that year. This helped to cement the rloseness that alreadsr existed among the members of our class. For the second time we elected Roslyn Pope as our Presi- dent. As the ViceePrt-sitlent we elected Dorothy Robinson. We also liatl a new class sponsor, Mrs. W'illiam G. Thomas. Mom of us knew her as Madame beeause we had taken French from her. This indeed was our year of glory at Spelman. Most of our classmates heltl outstanding positions during the year. Carolyn Crawford held the honored position of Vice-Presi- dent of the SSA. Irene Stokes was the Superintendent of the Sunday School; Helen Kerr became acting President of the Y.VV.C.A.; Geneva Evans was editor of the Spotlight, we were also proud of the classmates who were chosen as queens of the Morehouse men during the year. Margaret Rueker was Miss Omega Psi Phi, eIamie johnson was Miss Kappa Alpha Psi, June Hector was llMiss Phi Beta Sigirla,H Helen Kerr, attendant to Miss Alpha Phi Alpha, and Teena Scott was selected as an attendant to llMiss Phi Beta Sigma? Not only was our beauty represented during the year but our Brains were also. We were indeed proud of the class- nates who made 't-Vho's Who in American Colleges and a k Universities : Carolyn Crawford, h'lztrilyn Francis, Lucille Fultz, Frunt'es Glover, Helen Kerr, Roslyn Pope, and Roslyn Washington. Roslyn Pope wm also selected as one of the Students to study abroad during the next year. One of the big events that crowned our year of hard work and success was our Junior-Seniur Prom. A lot of hard work was put into the prom However, we finally HIZLLlL' it a success with the excellent direction 01' the chairman, Sylvia Howard. l-Ve usetl as our theme 'lOut Of This X-Vorlt . I am sure that as we enjoyed the prom we eoultl truly say our junior year ltzttl really been mtt Of this world. Our senior year has tlztwnetl and we know that before long we will be leaving Spelmun. Vt'e do not know all the future holds, but we tln know what the first semester has been like. Our President is Jacquelyn Johnson and our Vice-Presi- tlent i5 Ara Ann Yates. Miss Lillzl Joyce Finch is class sponsor. Carolyn Crawford is President Of the student bodyr and Lurille Fulu is the Secretary of the student body. I ianelle Stm'ztll. who had studied abroad during 1957-58, retllrtletl and joined our class, while Roslyn wrote letters frequently to let us know how she was getting along. At the end of the httsl semeslel' we paused to number our achievements. lt'e learned that Myrna Smith reigned over the l'tlm'ehnuiie College Hnmeroming activities and l'L-lnrgaret Rueker :mtl lune l-letzmr were her attendants. E ':1 Thomas was liklisa Phi Beta Sigma, Ifamie Owens Peters was Miss A scene from Roslynts Bon Voyage party. 59 M Club, with Old Kinsey as one of her attendants, Geneva Evans was attendant to Nliss Kappa Alpha Psi and Janice Bottoms was attendant to Miss Alpha Phi Alpha. We found that our class had hlJmC unusual talent when lernesbtt Hill, Sylvia Howard, Huellen .Vlurgan and Jean- elle Stmnll formed :1 folk singing quartet called the Quadlibets. June Bond, Marilyn Francis, and Roslyn Wrashington, along with others, seemed destined for aca- demic honors and awards as the fateful day of June 1, 1959, Cnmmeneement. drew near. This is the day, let us rejoice We have reached that wonderful clay when we have been given the title 0E seniors. No longer shall we have to wonder, as we did that day when we first entered Spelmim, what will it be like, for now we know. because our years have been so great that we can never Forget. Her signs will be on us wherever we go ztntl whatever we do. These four years have been a challenge for us-zt challenge to nrqttire knowledge, to seek truth and the best that has been thought and said in the world. As we move forward to new and greater horizons, we leave Our impressions behind with the hope that those who follow will be inspired by us. l-Ve tlmll fUl'ltlTlLle in our search for knowledge and truth with Spelman always in our hearts. For Spehnzm has been to us the school of 1.1ntlerstzlmling. the school 01' sisterly love, the srhnnl for the building of fine women. The Class of '59 bids farewell.

Atlanta 3, Georgia May, 1959 Dear Readers: In the Reflections of 1959, we have endeavored to capture the 9Spirit of Spelman, t0 reHect in Our yearbook the progress that Spelman has made in its movement forward. We have emphasized the Student Government Organizations, for we believe that they are perhaps the most significant aspect of our forward movement. We are deeply indebted to the faculty, staff, and administration of the College for their assistance in publishing this yearbook. We give special thanks to Dr. Helen M. Sanders, the famlty adviser to the yearbook, to Mrs. Helen Morgan 0f Foote and Davies, and to our advertisers. We hope that you have enjoyed this pictorial look at Spelman and that we have succeeded in our efforts to show you our Refiectiom 0E Spelman, 1959. Geneva Evans, editor Helen Kerr, associate editor P.S. A last glimpse of our hard working staff striving to meet deadlines.
