Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1959 volume:

HineteeH hundred and fifty-nine annual publication of Zke Senior Class JOHNSON C. SMITH UNIVERSITY Charlotte, North Carolina foreword The period in which we live and of our gradu- ation from college offers a privilege for service to any person who is well prepared. May we think of the years spent at Johnson C. Smith as the initial period in this preparation for the op- portunities that lies before us. Through our continued sacrifices and with a determined effort to achieve perfection in our selected vocations, we may help our community to find a solution to many of its perplexing problems. Now the time has come for us to part. As we leave these portals of Johnson C. Smith, we leave behind the cherished memories that have endeared us to our Alma Mater As we move on to blaze new trails, may we stop and cherish those memories once again through the activities and organizations that helped us to establish them. This yearbook we offer to the 1959 graduat- ing class of Johnson C. Smith. Many years from now we may want to relive those days spent ot Our Dear Alma Mater. As we enter the arehway we seek for knowledge LOYALTY SONG Words by George Leonard Allen Music by R. J. Tate We love thee, Smith, with all our hearts ' To thee we ' ll e ' er be true. And in thy light of truth and right Hold high the Gold and Blue Refrain Proudly we hail thy name, our Alma Mater old S. U, ' Johnson C Smith our own ' Our hope, our guiding star, our light unfailing ' Pride of our loyal hearts, we ' ll love and honor thee our whole lives through, On, ever on ' dear old J C, S U. II Fair Smith, where ' er on earth we roam. Send forth thy constant ray And let it beam with steadfast gleam To lead us o ' er Life ' s way Dr Rufus Poterson Pen President A MESSAGE TO THE UNIVERSITY FAMILY Johnson C. Smith University is a place, an atmosphere and a tradition in Christian Higher Education. We want it to remain a place where the free- dom to teach and the freedom to learn are carefully maintained. In this our ninety-second year let us as students and teachers rededicate ourselves to the proposition that we will continue to grow stronger in intellectual achieve- ment and m moral atmosphere. Our institution ' s tradition is in its product which through the years has consisted of men and women of solid ottainments, living lives of usefulness measuring up to their responsibilities and contributing to the betterment of their communities. Thus we have here a rich Christian heritage, a solid con- cern for education and a warm devotion to our fellow-man. 1959 R. P. Perry President A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN It is a genuine pleasure for me to extend to each of you congratulations on reaching this period in your development. I hope that the four years that you have spent on this campus are unforgettable ones. Many of your loved ones, rejoice with you in your achievement. We hope that you will carry into your next stages of growth the inspiration and spirit that hove been instilled in you at Johnson C. Smith University. Those of you who have mode good here at Smith can moke good in any professional school or other line of en- deavor that you may choose. As you leave us we hope that you will try to maintain those basic qualities that lead to success: intelligence, courage, dependability, tolerance, selflessness, a deep spiritual outlook and a con- tinued search for beauty. May God bless you and give each of you a long life of constructive service. Theophilus E.
