To the Class of1976 - Soon to leave Spelman after four years of experiencing, critically observing, hoping for and remembering Spelman College - Commonalities The Spelman woman has transformed industry to serve as an intellectual stepping stone. Onward and upward! We realize that the futu re is dependent on how far we are willing to tread to test our versatility. W H ! r a 1'5 . , iv 1 g 1 a; a r. P 'Vn-..'f5 ' 3:; gun. a' Sometimes I wonder about the forces here, what they do to these black women. What they have done to me. I feel myself transform- ing, and I like it. The search for identity is three-fold. We are young. We are black. And we are women. How com mon is our denominator. ' Growing is a warm co'lor. It is a hue always to be fondled in memory. But what color is warm? And what colors make growing feel so good? The classes are heads in books or last thoughts kept in mind. The doors remain open to both alternatives. The transition of the College is influenced by the character of its students. And that character is a responsive yes to the goals the Spelman woman has set fothhe future. on. FF. r... E uh .r.

Many of these traditions were initiated by Miss Read, a graduate of Mt. Holiyoke College. Every Spelmanite should know that: The Campus Bell was used to start and end each day of school. It also rang at night to indicate it was time to turn out the lights and go to bed. Spelman women were often asked Are you from Spelman? I say, From Spelman Where the Bell from Packard Beckons to You? SPELMAN On the first Sunday one spent at The school colors were and are Spelman as a freshman, she was blue and white and the Motto, required to attend group morning Our Whole School for Christ . services at the Friendship Baptist Church. It was in the basement of this church that Spelman had its humble beginning April11, 1881. Little Sister-Big Sister relationships Another concept initiated as the biffer dates back to the beginning when EVERY ' sister idea. member of the Junior Class would adopt At Christmas, names were chosen and .r a freshman as her little sister. 20 each person did something nice for her biffer sister all week, and before leaving for Christmas each person w0uld present her biffer with a small gift. 3?

The Class of in began the trad- :- - ition associated with the SENIOR 1'. BENCH. It symbolized our ties with u: the past. The bench was made from Ii. pieces of beams of the barracks that iirst raised Spelman on its present site. Only Seniors ate per- L' mitted to use this bench. FOUNDER'S DAY - On April 11, wreaths were placed on the plaques of the founders, Miss Sophia Packard, and Miss Harriet Giles in Packard Hall. Everyone made a contribution to the school through a Founderis Day Rally. Since it was the College's birthday, each member of the family and friends pre- sented gifts. All participated and each class presented songs the day before. On Founder's Day everyone wore white dresses and participated in the ceremony. The Ivy Oration was delivered at the Class day exercises by the Senior with the highest scholastic average. At the end of the exercise she planted the ivy beside one of the buildings as a con- tri bution to the beauty of the campus. Each year there was a Thanks- giving Rally at which time funds are contributed. These funds were given to the Community Chest, the world University Serv- ice and to Spelman graduates who were Missionaries in Africa and Pakistan. Food baskets were also donated to needy families in the community. After you have completed Spelman you were permitted to pass under the Alumnae Arch which symbolized your leaving these halls of learning and going into the world to render services. 21 Registration Long lines. Busy people. Confusion towards completion. We go through the same procedure every year hoping that the next year will be different. But, as we proceed, we believe in the cause. Classes, heads in the books and expecting that final and glorious victory - Graduation. Dorm MAY I BORROW YOUR ? You haven't lived if you haven't resided in the dorms of the Spel- man College campus. Not to be compared to the Waldorf-Astoria, or the Regency Hyatt House, but somewhere to keep dry out of the rain, and somewhere to sit and talk to male friends who have no apartment and no means of trans- portation. The dorm is a place to associate and acquaint oneself with all members of the insect world and even some rodents now and then. Its a place to study in quiet, except when Earth, Wind and Fire, and KC. and the Sunshine Band are not being blasted from your neighbors Panasonic amplifiers. The dorm is a place of intense heat in winter and summer or depending upon the dorm, maybe frigid cool- ness in each of the four seasons. Life Dormitory life acquaints its te- nants with cold showers at 7:00 am. and scalding hot water while brushing your teeth. Looking at dorm life, putting aside the usual complaints that are often exaggerated, the dormitory sym- bolizes peaceful harmony between women who at night find them- selves chatting and exchanging helpful pieces of information. Whether you lived in McAlpin, Chadwick, James, Abbey, Bessie Strong, Howard Harreld, Manley, McVicar or Packard Hall, dormitory life is an unforgettable experience to be treasured for years to come. Study College is the place you come to learn all about the things that will mold and shape you into a well versed, intelligent citizen. A storehouse of knowledge to be used and exhausted by the stu- dents who enroll. Spelman has for its women a well-rounded and well versed fa- culty that is able to help its young women tackle and under- stand the problems of the acade- mic world. Reading and research facilities are available for exten- sive knowledge on just about any su bject matter conceivable. Usually at Spelman, study comes to be a last minute occasion. Around exam time everybody is busy with dictionary and notebook in hand. Libraries are over-crowd- ed and reading rooms have wait- ing lines. Brilliant minds start to work and creative genuises plan for extraordinary projects that are both innovative and original. The mind is a beautiful thing and many beautiful minds can be seen work- ing on the Yard . 26 uuhHIW' ' illlllM IN: Mi 9 u? Engineers, Economists, Socioio- gists, Psychologists, Teachers, Wri- ters, Historians, Linguists, Mathe- maticians and Politicians all are be- ing molded right on the campus of Spelman College. Tomormws fu- ture lies in the hands of Spelman women and with hard study and intense academic training, there can be seen great hope for the future. An education is a thing of beauty, may it last forever! BLACK ARTS FESTIVAL The Black Arts Festival provided fun, music, meats and plenty to look at. Arts and crafts, jewelry, paintings and original ideas from creative Black people in the city of Atlanta. S T S E U G I. M C E P S HJ'Cti'f. 15.?154NI- .'-i..- ' . ' .

Looking for mail and never writ- ing a letter; finding telephone bills and bad grade reports; trying to buy a stamp with the window closed; wanting your package without your ID. - these are the hassles of the Post Office. A daily rush to the mail- room, forgetting combinations only remembering them to find a notice about Chapel on Thursday. The Post Office; disappointment and surw prises from the United States Pos- tal Service. ' BOOKSTORE WHATN NO MORE BENSON AND HEDGES MENTHOL? Supplier of cigarettes, paper, pens, pencils and believe it or not books. The Engineers Book Store saves you a walk to the store for candy and gum when things just have to be that way. Gathering place for friends to meet and a storehouse of knowledge as well. Filled with the tools needed to build a better education. Smiles and friendly faces always greet you in the Bookstore no matter what you buy. Be it a Delta T-shirt, a desk calendar or nothing at all. 49 SNACK BAR ONE EGG MC SPELMAN, PLEASE! - Whatever you're hungry for, you'll find it in the Spelman Snack Shop. A relief from the ordinary, entering into a world of quarter pounders, golden brown french fries and hot apple pies. It saves the long walk to McDonalds and is the convenience of the year. With James Brown blarring in the back- ground you can chat with friends and munch on health foods and fruit without even leaving off the campus. How about a mushroom pizza for a late night snack? Sounds Good. CAFETERIA MEAT LOAF - Again?! Complaints, complaints, and more complaints, but never an empty din- ing room. You can smell the fish every Friday and the chicken every Sunday; too poor to eat out and suffering through the agony of another Spelman meal. Never sa- tisfied and continuing to eat is the story of the Spelman Cafeteria. Well balanced meals, but not what you want when you want it and not quite how Mom cooked it at home. A journey three times a day only to see the same thing you saw the week before. tAt least you arentt starvingt.

It was a state- ment to America, to the Government, to the CIA, to the FBI and to those that decide the fate of the millions of unemployed; that poor people and Black people will no longer tolerate massive unemployment. We stood up for the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, so eloquently stated in the Constitution. We realized that unemployment is a direct threat to the gains made by Dr. King. Each campus in the Atlanta University Center was active in helping to make this yearts celebration of Drt King's birthday a meaningful and penetrating instrument for the upliftment of Black people from the hardship of unemployment. Opposite page: Seven thousand students from all campuses of the Atlanta University Center marched and Sang songs in an effort to fulfill Dr. King's Dream. J.L.E.XJ.W.

Allison, joined the Music Faculty as Professor of Music -in 1967. After a year of absence, 1970-71, when Mr. Atdrich Adkins directed the Spelman College Glee Club, Dr. Allison returned to Spelman in 1971 as Chairman of the Department of Music and Director of the Glee Club. During Dr. Allison's tenure the Glee Club has maintained its high-quality performances and has continued the tradition of excellence in choral work. He has been a highly successful Voice Teacher and Choral Director for more than twenty years and had no difficulty in carrying the ensemble to new heights of precision and tasteful interpretation by an enthusiastic aggregation of students from all areas of the college. The Glee Club makes an annual tour of major cities of the North, the Mid-West, the East, and the Southeast. During this present academic year, an ensemble selected from the Glee Club traveled to Brazil, South America, where its members received great acclaim for their fine singing. The excelient accompanist for the Glee Club is Dr. Joyce Finch Johnson, the College Organist. Dr. Johnson is a splendid concert artist who joined the Spelman College Music Faculty in 1953. After a period of absence for doctoral study, Dr. Johnson returned to Spelman in 1967 and has continued her career of excellence, firmly supported by a great talent. The Fine Arts - and the Glee Club, in particular - have always enjoyed the enthusiastic support of Dr. Albert E. Manley, President of Spelman. Especially since 1967, the Glee Club and Dr. Manley have shared an obvious bond of mutual devotion, and the strength of this bond remains great now.

Read. Dr. Manleyr has an extensive educational background. He was graduated from John- son C. Smith University, cum laude, re- ceiving the Bachelor of Science degree with concentration in physics and mathematics. He holds the Master of Arts degree from Teachers College, Columbia University, and the Doctor of Education degree from Stan- ford University, Palo Alto, California. While at Stanford, he became the first black to be inducted into the national education honor society, Phi Delta Kappa fraternity. He is the recipient of an Aiumni Citation from Iohn- son C. Smith University and is honored in the Wisdom Hall of Fame, and was con- ferred the Doctor of Laws degree from the same institution. Dr. Manleyts achievements are rich and varied. This esteemed educator began his career as a high school teacher and Principal in Asheville, North Carolina, and served as state inspector of black high schools under the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction. He later accepted a position at North Caroiina Coilege as. Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and pro fessor of education. He has served as a member of the North Carolina Commission on Interracial Cooperation, Director of the United Negro College Fund, and a trustee of Atlanta University. His works have been published in many scholarly educational journals. Dr. Manley is a member of the National Education Association, the American Teach- ers Association, Phi Delta Kappa, Omega Psi Phi, and International Speakers Platform. He is married to Dr. Audrey Forbes Man- 'xfhw'.'.. -- .- - 1 - .J; f?f?QWEiAlif'i 1.3 : :' 31.33? , 5 ... 'r J . ,C .9 'kr x-or - . . by HI f - .-.. . - :fr-C. - -f' .51? .9...

Manley Ends 23 Years at Spelman Student sit- ins and demonstrations, civil rights marches and an image as a finishing school for middle-class black women all are part of Spelman College's history. And many of the dramatic moments and changes occurred at Spelman while the Atlanta school was under the leadership of Dr. Albert E. Manley, who will retire in June after 22 years as president of the predominantly black women's institution. Manley came to Spelman in 1953 from North Carolina College lnow North Carolina Central Universityl in Durham, where he was dean of arts and sciences. At that time, although considered a pet among black colleges because of its association with the Rockefeller family, Spelman had only 454 students, 54 faculty members and 18 buildings, and operated more than $475,000. Since then, enrollment has increased to 1,200 students from 38 states and 14 foreign countries; there . are 100 faculty members, half of them holding doctoral degrees; the cam pus' physical plant has been expanded'with five new buildings and renovation of other buildings; and the schooiis budget for the 1975-76 school year is $6.2 million. Spelman College is no longer an Atlanta school, Manley said in an in- terview. It's no longer a Georgia school. Its no longer a regional school. Itis a national institution. Manley was the first black and the first man to head the 94-year-old school. Amid all the flurry of finding a suc- cessor, Manley continues to carry on the college's day-to-day operations, as well as help set policy for Spelman by sitting on its board of trustees. Even Manley s retirement plans are linked to Spelman. He plans to up- date the history of the school, written by Dr. Florence Matilda Read, who preceded Manley as president. More has happened ' in the 22 years of my tenure than in the pre- vious 72 years of the college's exis- tence, Manley said,' not so much be- cause I happened to be president, but just because of the mood of the times. I went through the student revolts and when students locked in the trustees, and activities of that nature, he said. Manleyis tenure also includes days when students demonstrated and marched in Atlanta after the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., narrowly es- caping a confrontation with National Guardsmen at the State Capitol. During the late 19605 and early 19705, there was a big gap between students and college administrators of the six schools within the Atlanta University complex, Man Iey said. There was a time when someone over 25 years old couldn't tell a stu- dent anything. Today you have a sit- uation that is quite different. Theyire cracking the books again. They're do- ing the things they want to do, but they aren't just demonstration-conscious. Manley sought to dispel the idea of Spelman as a 'ifinishing school for young, middIe-class black women - an image that has been with the school since 1381, when two northern white women interested in providing an education for southern blacks founded the college. Part of that image was due to an emphasis on being accepted by the local white community. At one time, most of the studentslearned primarily - - about etiquette, grooming, and be coming a housekeeper. Today Spelman students are much more career-minded, Manley said. Upon graduation in June, about 50 per cent of our girls will be going : law or en- . ::- either to medical, dental, IIE 1; gineering school, and many others :- will go into teaching and other liberal .2 arts areas, he said. But the image of Spelman as an I elitist institution is unfounded because r 'l 80 per cent of the students come from It -- homes where the average family in- 1 -- come is between $7,000 and $9,000 a.l year Manley said. Therefore, a great part of Spelmanrr students college finances are providedhi with the help of federal grants and scholarship money, he noted. Manley said another myth associated 5:; with the school is that it receives an :- 32.: abundance of financial support from-aqt the Rockefeller Foundation, especially over the other five schools in the con-I sortium. The Rockefeller family has been as- -r sociated with Spelman since 1882,: . when philanthropist John D. Rocke-E feller was persuaded to pay. off thei .- mortgage on the financially plagued .. school. Spelmanis name comes from thej . maiden name of the wife of the lateiH-ti Laurance Rockefeller. Rockefeller money has gone to all of the schools within the A.U. center. PeOpIe make the mistake of think- ing because Spelman is named for the. family of the first John D. Rockefeller it gets just all kinds of money from the Rockefeller Foundation, said. J. However, 91 I Manley; jg H? h 131.1 TAP LdV Spelman has been fortunate to have a close relationship with the Rockefeller family. A member of that family has been on the board of trustees since 1884, but up until three years ago, when we started our first national fund-raising campaign, Atlanta University was the school with- in the complex which received more Rockefelier dollars. Manley said he has divorced himself from the search fer his successor. He is not one of the seven members of the search committee sifting th rough the 200 applications the board of trustees has received. There has been speculation that Spelman may get its first black female president. Manley said he would favor having a black woman take over his pcsition, providing she is strong enough to protect Spelmanis interests and at the same time work with the other schools within the consortium, I think the chances of Spelman getting a black female head are fairly good, he said, because with the woments liberation movement there has been more of an acceptance for women to move into the middle ad- ministrative and upper administrative positions. I think there is a great deal of talk all over the county that there should be a young black woman to take over. It couId happen. Manley also said he would like to see more trustees on Spelman's 21- member board and two or three mem- bers who have high visibiiity in the corporate worid to help bring in more corporate contributions to the school's endowment fund.

APRIL 22,1954 Albert E. Manley Becomes Spelman's Fifth President The Inauguration Service which inducted Dr. Albert E. Manley as the fifth president of Spelman Col- lege took place at three oiclock on Thursday, April 22, 1954 in Sisters Chapel. It was a solemn, sedate, sacramental and impressive occasion. In President Manley's Inaugural Ad- dress he spoke earnestly, moderately and expressively about his aims and ideals for Spelman College. At the conclusion of this stirring address, Dr. Trevor Arnett read a telegram of congratulations from Miss Florence M. Read, President Emeritus of Spelman College, sent from Sevilla, Spain. The Benediction was pronounced by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Minister of Ebenezer Baptist Church. With the installation of Dr. Manley as its fifth President, Spelman College began a new era in the seventy- third year of its illustrious existence as a higher institution for the training of Negro women. He is the first male president of Spelman College and the first Negro to head the institution. President Manley emphasized in his inaugural address that he regards character building as even more urgent than the cultivation of the mind! n m u g .

Physical Expansion Characterizes Manley Years Spelman College is a going concern. Its campus has been called the loveli- est in Atlanta. ft is located close to the heart of the city and is adjacent to the other coHeges of the Athnta University Center. Spelman has a quiet beauty because of open spaces, grassy areas and a canopy of foliage. Many of its buildings date back to the turn of the century and have, in general, been weII-maintained. Four newer buiangs have been added to the Spelman campus since Dr. Manley has been president. These buildings inciude three dormitories: Sally Sage McAlpin Hall, Dorothy Shepard Manley Hall and Howard- Harreld Hall; and the Albert E. Manley College Center. Spelman students are very fortunate to have the addition of the newer housing facilities and the College Cen- ter which has become an integral part of student activities.

Manley's Fund Raising Abilities Among His Greatest Assets Spelman- serves a very special group of people for very special reasons. The college was born out of slavery, segregation, and dis crimination; but these negative rea- sons for its existence have dis- appeared or are disappearing. What is left is an abiiity and a moti- vation to offer an excellent educa- tion to black women. In this we have experience. In this we have expertise. There are 2,600 institutions of higher education in our nation. Hundreds have the special purpose of serving religious and ethnic groups. We believe that there is room ior one college that wishes only to be of the first rank and to devote all its energies to proa viding a dynamic undergraduate education for black women - the type of education that directs them to leadership. II is a special group we have chosen to serve, and Spelman must be far more than a college as good as any oiher; it must be the very best coilege for the special group it has chOsen to serve.

Its emphasis has been placed on the steps we, as college stu- dents, tread upon to reach our own personal goals, the goals we strive toward during our stay here and those after we leave. I have hopefu lly succeeded In expressing through pictures and words the most important phase In our life learning to adapt to new environments and accepting those around us as integral parts of our being. As we look back on these years at Spelman, I sincerely hope they have been meaningful and fruitful for our growth, for only we can know the extent to which our development will be lasting and untiring. I hope only for the uplift and maturity of each one of us here and for its future significance in our lives. I w0uld like to personally thank my parents for the strength and love they have infinitely shared for my growth and attitude toward life. Thanks also to my other two-thirds for being a part of me in my successful endeavors. In closing, I wish each and every Spelmanite, especially the Class of 76 success and prosperity throughout their lives kann A. Washington Editor-in-Chief
