We Dedicate John D. Marshall, II Head Football Coach Through his fight to help Livingstone Col- lege achieve a prominent position in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Professor John Marshall has won a special place in the hearts of all Livingstonians. Using the manpower resources of the in- stitution, and beginning with a football team that had little or no standing in the CIAA, Coach Marshall raised the pride of all those who love Livingstone by placing the Blue Bears in third place in the conference. Through his guidance, students who had never achieved much, soared to heights of na- tional recognition. Physical fitness was stress- ed by this man who staunchly adhered to a phi- losophy of living a healthful life. Primarily through his achievement and interest, programs were planned which would give students outlets for their energies. Underlying Coach Marshall ' s untiring efforts is the resounding philosophy, not only of the football players, but of all stu- dents . . .
