THE WHEEL IS COME FULL CIRCLE CLASS 1978 THE WHEEL IS COME FULL CIRCLE Ushered through the gates of Dear Smith by high hopes and aspirations of becoming more than what we were, we soon found that our doorkeeper did not lead us to the zorong path. We found that she had all intentions of aiding us in the total fulfillment of those hopes and aspirations. j Vrom the moment of our matriculation we found that the revolution of a smal.- hegan to revolve and now THE WHEEL IS COME FULL CIRCLE. The revolution of this wheel has ' unselfishly molded men and women out of babies. This revolution aided our development academically, socially, arid above all spiritually.

SMITH UNIVERSITY CHARLOTTii, North Carolina 28216 Ol FICE OF THE PrESIDF.NT 1977 197 8 TO: The Students of Johnson C. Smith University FROM: Wilbert Greenfield, President GREETINGS: I am pleased and proud to greet you through the medium of THE BULL, our annual stxident publication. 1 commend the very fine editorial staff for 1977-1978, along with the advisors, for the magnificent effort put forth to capture the spirit of Johnson C. Smith University in its many faceted activities. In our commitment to the students served at this institution, it is fitting to note that The Wheel is Come Full Circle , in that we have completed a century of dedicated service plus another decade toward the second century. Also, The Wheel is Come Full Circle for our student population, from the less informed, less prepared student requiring protection and constant guidance, to the more mature student who now sits on important faculty and administrative committees; from the student and student faculty judiciary for disciplinary actions, to curriculum development and the Board of Trustees for University governance. I congratulate you on these achievements and the responsible manner which you have exhibited in so doing. This pictorial depicting the life and activities at the University will be a constant reminder of your years spent here as part of the Johnson C. Smith University family. L tAj Dr. Wilbert Greenfield was unanimously named the tenth president of Johnson C. Smith University at a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on November 18, 1972.

Mr. President, Always on the Move. Working Today For A Better Tomorrow . . . The Student Government Association of Johnson C. Smith University serves as the principal goveming body of the stu- dent body. The StudentGovemment serves as a liaison between the students and the administration in matters of major con- cern. It aids in the orientation of new students entering the University for the first time. It also appoints representatives to policy-making committees of the University. The Student Government has representation on the Board of Trustees of the University. The Student Government Is administered by an Executive Board of five persons elected by the student body at large. These five persons are the president, vice-president, recording secretaiy, con-esponding secretary, and treasurer. This year ' s administration functions under the motto WORKING TODAY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO MANKIND. With this in mind the Student Government has geared Its efforts to becoming more stu- dent oriented than past administrations. Proof of this can be seen in this publication of the BULL, to which the present ad- ministration gladly alloted the sum of $2,000. Further proof of this is found in those social affairs that the Student Govern- ment sponsors for the social and cultural growth of the Smith Family.

HOMECOMING PREVIEW HOMECOMING PREVIEW HOMECOMING PREVIEW • HOMECOMING PREVIEW HOMECOMING PREVIEW ' HOMECOMING PREVIEW HOMECOMING PREVIEW HOMECOMING PREVIEW HOMECOMING PREVIEW HOMECOMING PREVIEW ' HOMECOMING PREVIEW • HOMECOMING PREVIEW The 1977 JCSU Homecoming Theme: THE I ' s of the FUTURE: INSPIRATION.INVOIVEMENT.INNOVATION By Horace Bush As we march toward the year 2,000 A.D„ we, the students of Johnson C. Smith University must prepare ourselves for these three challenges: inspiration, involvement and innovation. Inspiration ,s a prime necessity to offset campus apathy. We are here for the sole purpose of developing and expanding our minds We are not here to play the invisible man by passively attending classes under the delusion that brains can record all that vast information and retain it. We are not here to do C and D work with tuition money paid by our families and the government. But, we are here with the responsibility to do and be better than our ancestors. We have the responsibility to maintain a positive, black self-image. For this to occur, we need the inspiration to change our self-defeating behavior. It is the sole penacea for this average syndrone . How should we bring about change? We must get involved. We as black people need to compete twice as hard We must take some risks, if we must, to reach our dreams. Let us begin now to step down from our ivory towers and concern ourselves with our immediate environment. Our university isa microsm of society; through involvement in student government and other organizations we will gam some msights into society and what will be expected of us when we leave this academic environment. Through involvement, innovations can be produced which can help move us toward the attainment of a renewed academic strength as symbolized by the Golden Bull . That several innovations have a ready been initiated is evidenced by unique programs of study, flexible teaching techniques, and computerized record keeping We should continue to seek new ways to accomplish our goals. By synthesizing the old and new - the proven values of the past and the innovations of the present - we can build toward a more promising future. These three I ' s are not only meaningful for students of Johnson C. Smith University, but for all segments of the JCSU family - administrators, faculty, staff, alumni and friends, as well as for everyone who wants to become more actively engaged in the pursuit of a more meaningful and productive life.

These tributes com- menced with a vocal and instructmental combination from Barbara White, Robert Rowe, and Ronnie Mitchell performing Everything Must Change. And indeed it does as we anxiously witness Mr. C. J. McConico work the floor with a dance.

Smith University was chartered before the founding of the Institution, March 17, 1866, and has always been a highly respected and august body. Aside from the bond of security which it throws around the University, its presence on the campus always lends an air of dignity and concern. During the for- mative years of the Unive rsity, individual trustees visited the campus frequently, mingling with the staff and students with a personal touch that said, CONCERN. Board membership is considered a distinct honor, es- pecially for alumni. The first black member, Robert P. Wyche, ' 77, was elected to the Board of Trustees in 1891 and served his Alma Mater in that capacity until 1938: he was Chairman of the Board from 1897 to 1938. C. A. Johnson, ' 04, was the second alumnus to be elected to membership on the Board. In 1970, E. L. Rann, an alumnus, became Chairman of the Board, and in 1973, A. H. Clement, another alumnus, was chosen Chairman of the Board. The Board of Trustees consists of the following persons: Dr. Matthew Whitehead (Chairman), Mr. Fred Alexander, Dr. Charles W. Baulknight, Mrs. Marion Cannon, Dr. Vance H. Chavis. Mr. David A. Cort, Mrs. Kathleen R. Crosby, Mr. William H. Dougherty, Dr. James H. Hargett, Mr. Kenneth R. Harris, Dr. Henry A.

Student Government Association President, Ricky Porter, delivered the AD- DRESS where he em- phasized the element of TOGETHERNESS among the faculty, staff, administra- tion and student body for the year 1977-1978. THE EXECUTIVE BOARD, PRESIDENT, MISS J.C. SMHi AND ADMINISTRATION POSES FOR A PICTURE. Each year at commence- ment exercises across the country, a select group of stu- dents are called forward to ac- cept one of the most prestigious awards the academic community can bestow — that of being selec- ted to WHO ' S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES. This exclusive honor is conferred by more than 1,000 schools in all 50 states and the District of Com- umbia and symbolized by the presentation of an award of certificate. After 43 years of serving higher education, Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges ex- ists a one of the most highly regarded and long-standing honors programs in the na- tion, having earned the overwhelming respect of college faculties and ad- ministrations. And for the stu- dents — the outstanding campus leaders of the year — national recognition by the Who ' s Who program marks a pinnacle of scholastic achieve- ment. Selections to WHO ' S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES are made each fall. In nominating the upperclassmen and graduate students eligible for the program, campus nominating committees are urged to apply their own local standards of academic excellence. In general, these committees are composed of representatives from the faculty, administra- tion and student body. This procedure of local nomination serves to highlight the individual and diverse talents of America ' s most prominent students. For through their contributions and service to community nd school, these are the young adults who enhance the positive image of American youth. Because curricular and ex- tracurricular programs at schools vary greatly, each college is assigned a quota of nominees. This quota is carefully calculated to insure a well-rounded representation of the student body. All nominations must be en- dorsed by a college ' s faculty or administration. In addition to the local and national publicity that each student chosen for the Who ' s Who program receives, his complete biography will be presented in this year ' s edition of WHO ' S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES.

He departed this life on Friday, May 27, 1977. McCullough drowned during a graduation outing for the school ' s eighth graders. He had consented to become the physical education teacher in the fall. The school at 3028 Providence Road has 320 students In the first through eighth grades. He was a most unusual young man, Sister Mary Timothy, the school ' s principal said, He left very much impact on the students. He related very well to the students. He treated his students as friends first and students second. He could be their friend and teach them too. McCullough drowned while having severe stomach cramps in Camp Lake Mountain, Santa of Hendersonville. Becoming a physical education teacher was his main goal, according to Jerry Clark, a former roommate, track and fraternity brother. He had a good personality and so promising a future, ex- plained Kenneth Powell, his former track and field coach. After completing his work and striving all those years, he had a job waiting for him, and now this. President Greenfield of Johnson C. Smith University spoke in behalf ot the Smith Family, To the family of Andrew, may your lives be sub- lime and may you, as Andrew has done, leave your footprint on sands of time. — The University Student Mrs. Ennie M. Pridgen, 1918-1977, who was the second child of William and Henrietta Battle, was born in Goldsboro, North Carolina. She received her Bachelor of Science Degree from Fayet- teville State University. While earning two Masters Degrees — one in educational psychology and the other in reading — from New York University, she researched with Dr. B. F. Skinner and Dr. Nila Banton Smith. She did post-graduate work at Florida State University and New York University. She was Assistant Professor of Education and Director of Reading at Johnson C. Smith University. To ber family, her many friends, her colleagues, and her students, Mrs. Pridgen gave unselfishly of her genuine and creative intelligence, and personal loyalty. She sometimes spent many long hours reaching out to troubled and despairing students — always sacrificing and giving encouragement or whatever else was needed. And the expression began: Nanne: Leroy E. Sargent Home Address: 803 Martin Road Birthdate: January 18, 1957 Class: Freshman Major: Psychology It was this last entry on an impersonal schedule card, executed two years ago, that led to my hav- ing a warm and personal relationship with Leroy. That relationship began routinely enough — focusing on the selection of courses, some of which happened to be mine. But, overtime, it grew to include unhurried sessions on goals and strategies and tough decisions within psychology and in life. And so — from the name of a student, who came from a particular place, who was of a certain age, who had a specified predicted grade point average — I came to know a vital person who was liked and respected by his peers and elders, quick to smile, highly motivated for wholesome achievement, and caring. Leroy was a talented student. He moved through two years and a summer of collegiate work at a magna cum laude pace. This sterling performance reflects not only brightness but in- dustriousness as well. For Leroy was a serious student — wanting to learn, to understand, to in- tegrate the knowledges coming from several courses, to discover how these knowledges could be profitably applied to real life circumstances. His grades were a by-product of these efforts. This past summer Leroy was among five Smith students attending the Preprofessional Institute for Psychology Majors at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. Though the program is designed for rising seniors, Leroy was accepted after only two years of college because he was ahead of schedule and had had the required courses. He acquitted himself well there. This in spite of the fact that in a field work part of the ex- perience, he was unhappy with aspects of his placement and with certain of the procedures he was asked to follow. Being true to himself, Leroy made these disagreements known and still was respected and evaluated highly by those with whom he disagreed. This, my friends, was no mean accomplishment. Leroy was sensitive to the needs of others and cared about them deeply. Often I would see him helping his fellow students understand concepts which he had grasped but which were troublesome for them. Just last week I was having some personal difficulties. When he heard about them, Leroy — though he himself was under pressure — sought me out to inquire about those difficulties and to offer his support. I shall not forget that. Many of you, no doubt, can think of occasions when you have been the recipient of Leroy ' s kindnesses. It was fitting that Leroy ' s abiding concern for others would extend to Georgetown where surely such concern began. He was keenly aware of great unmet needs there. In our sessions he would talk and talk about the kinds of programs and services which he would like to introduce and which would mean fulfillment for the citizens of the community, and so ended the expressions. — DELIVERED BY DR. J. R. LAW AT THE MEMOR IAL SERVICE FOR LEROY SARGENT IN THE JOHNSON C. SMITH UNIVERSITY CHURCH ON OCTOBER 27, 1977 AND DEATH SHALL HAVE NO DOMINION And death shall have no dominion. Dead men naked they shall be one With the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone. They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane. Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion. And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea They lying long shall not die windily; Twisting on racks when sinews give way. Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break; Faith in their hands shall snap in two, And the unicorn evils run them through; Split all ends up they shan ' t crack; And death shall have no dominion. And death shall have no dominion. No more may gulls cry at their ears Or waves break loud on the seashores; Where blew a flower may a flower no more Lift its head to the blows of the rain; Though they be mad and dead as nails. Heads of the characters hammer through daisies; Bread in the sun till the sun breaks down. And death shall have no dominion. —Dylan Thomas fc O People are lonely. They sit in groups but they go home alone. I am a poet, and I try to soothe it. Nikki Giovanni has been soothing, touching, moving and making people sit up with a startle through her wild, witty fights of verse for a long time. Acclaimed for her books — fiction and poetry — and records (backed by the exuberant gospel music of the New York Community Choir), she can catch you up in her con- versational style while you are still try- ing to decipher the inconsistencies in meter and syntax. But when you are finished you find that, whether you are black or white, you have been moved in a deep, basic, emotional way. She ex- plains, I am so hip that even my errors are correct. She is the personification of hip, summing up in her work everything that is the black experience today, and summing it up with warmth, compassion, humor and a timeless wisdom. Literary critics have called her genius and fabulist. But a fi-iend perhaps put it best: She is brave, quixotic, To love contradiction and conflict. To know her is never to understand but to be sure that all is life. 05 CO r o o o C Q : . v V S V- ' J fcfci -V k m n. f ' aN ■ ' ?«=v. ' -. .f 0,1 I - ' -Sl ISO If2 . I-SS I s C???

But now those experiences are past and we are thankful for what we have obtained from them, and appreciative that Smith has been instrumental in presenting us with these experiences that added tremendously to our growth as individuals so that as we embark into the world we will not he stunned by the demands that she presents. These experiences would have never been possible had it not been for the love of our parents and the grace of our Cod; and thus we have dedicated this volume of the Bull to The Glory of Cod, knowing that it can only begin to express our deep and sincere thanks for all that He has done, hoping that in so doing we have dedicated this publication to all those who have been involved in our educational growth. As we say farewell to these walls and walks, we are con- scious of the fact that we have developed a being that in- sures success and happiness. For we have been touched by the warmth of Smith, the spirit of the Bull and the Love found in the Class of 1978.

SMITH UNIVERSITY STORY records the following concerning our annual student publication: The Bull may be termed the glamorous photographic record of the campus life and activity. It began its brilliant career in 1928, and except for a break between 1936 and 1946, its annual appearance has furnished big moments among the Uni- versity family. The following announcement was printed in the Program Booklet for the annual Easter Monday Baseball Classic which was played at Wearn Field, Charlotte, North Carolina, April 9, 1928: , The Bull . . . 1928 Annual Johnson C. Smith University See our college life in pictures. The students of Johnson C. Smith University wish to present to the Alumni and Friends the first yearbook. The Bull will contain all the activity of the school in the form of pictures and manuscript. We hope that this material will convince you and others just what Johnson C. Smith has to offer boys desiring a college education. The Bull will be off the press the 15th of May and may be obtained for the sum of three dollars and fifty cents ($3.50). We wish your cooperation that The Bull will inspire young men to come to our school and perpetuate the ideals and spirit of our school throughout the world. Further information in regard to The Bull we shall be pleased to give you on request. Yours truly, Leon Steele, Editor J. H. Whiteman, Business Manager The Bull is edited and published annually by the Senior Class. In addition to dedicating the annual to a staff member of the Senior Class ' s choice, ingenuity, and EBRATING A GOLDEN YEAR skills in the publication business. Photographs of students and staff, seasonal campus views, and functions are highlighted in unique fashions. The Bull has provided many enjoyable moments and memory stimulants when Smith men and women turn back the pages to the facts and fun of yesteryears. This glowing word of praise by the Johnson C. Smith Alumni Journal indicates the es- teem and high promise which the alumni held for this student publication: The Bull — 1928 Nothing like The Bull has ever been published in the history of our Alma Mater. Its cost alone — $1 ,950 — will at once impress one with the magnitude of the under- taking. The Bull modestly says that it is published by the student body, but one seriously suspects that some of the newer blood of the faculty gave wise directions and supervision. An attempt to describe The Bull serves only to stress the poverty of the English language. The Bull must be seen — yea, possessed to be fully substantially bound, with the name in raised letters upon the cover, the whole surmounted by a real live bull. It is said the title itself is a delicate tribute to Mr. James B. Duke to whom this issue of the Bull is dedicated, whose Bull Durham tobacco is well known . . . The Bull is the highest expression of the print-art, and each page carries a light blue border. It is printed on a 120-pound supercalendared stock and is in every way a worthwhile publication. All concerned with its production deserve highest com- mendation. Every Alumnus should own a copy. The Bull grew in popularity and gained prestige as the years passed. Each Senior class recruits the expertise of its most skilled journalists and artists to assume the responsibility for publishing the next best Bull . On the basis of the plaudits received, the staff of the Centennial Bull was justifiably pleased with its production. In 1967, The Bull was devoted to tracing the history of the first one hundred years of service by the Centenarian. Beyond a doubt, it is the Biggest and Best of the 29 previous issues. Kim M.

LARRY THOMAS SMITH EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE GOLDEN BGLL, GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY ISSCJE JOHNSON C. SMITH UNIVERSITY Charlotte, North Carolina 2 8216 Year Book Office May. 1978 Dear Smithites, If by chance you happened to smile just once or reflected back on some moment here at Smith while scann- ing the pages of this publication, the purpose of this GOLDEN volume of the BOLL will have been richly fulfilled. If by chance you happened to show some sign of digust. either visual or verbal, the purpose of this GOLDEN volume of the BOLL wall have been richly fulfilled. For it has been our sole purpose to fashion an annual that has been informative as well as delightful, that refiects our course of study and social interaction at the Gniversity. To say that I have learned much about myself and my peers would be rather cliche; however, the lessons on leadership, responsibility, promptness and most of all on caring. I will value for years to come. In learning myself I found that there is nothing that I cannot do: those limitations that are set are those that I set in my own mind. (This is a lesson that I think we should all try to master for the benefit of our fellowman.) Lessons of a lifetime, for me. are found within these covers and I would like to thank the members of the Class of 1 978 who had faith iri me and elected me to this office; to those who had Peter ' s faith. I hope that you now realize that the faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. It has been an honor to present the Smith Family, on your behalf, with The Wheel Is Come Full Circle . In final messages such as this, recorded in volumes and volumes of the BULL, it is always fitting for the Editor to thank his staff. I must not allow this GOLDEN opportunity to pass without an attempt to express my heart-filled thanks to my Associate Editor. Anthony Hayes, whose knowledge and understanding strengthen me throughout the entire process. A very special thanks to Mr. David Wayne Hughes ( Little Dave ) for his fine job behind the camera. And finally. THANK GOD. In all, 1 have enjoyed this honor, though all was not always harmonious, it was fun (I THINK!!!). I. of course, would like to leave you with these words from Shakespeare: KENT. I do profess to be no less than I seem; to serve him truly that will put me in trust: to love him that is honest; to converse with him that is wise, and says little: to fear judgement: to fight when I cannot choose; and to eat no fish. -KING LEAR SMILE because the grace of God Is shadowed upon you. I remain respectfully yours. . t.6 - Larry T. Smith. Editor-in-chief of the GOLDEN BGLL. the 50th Anniversary Issue Johnson C.

This has probably been the hardest job I ' ve taken yet. You could never imagine the amount of time and strength that go into the mak- ing of a publication of this size. I had considered telling you but you would never believe me. My staff and I endeavored to present a day in the life of a SMITHITE. We may or may not have done this in your opinion, but it appears to me that we have tried and I am told that it is better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all. I have one last thought to leave with you, and It works something like this: NO MATTER W HERE YOU ARE OR HOW FAR YOU ROAM DON ' T JUST PASS THROUGH THIS LIFE WITH NOTHING HAVING BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, BUT MAKE A DENT, LEAVE SOME TYPE OF A MARK ON THE WORLD TO LET IT BE KNOWN THAT YOU WERE HERE. I was here. I made my mark through this, the GOLDEN ANNIVER- SARY ISSUE OF THE BU .L Now what about you? Many thanks are offered through a process like this and the ones you really want to thank you can never seem to thank enough. But there are three men I would like to give a very special thanks, God, Anthony Hayes, and David Wayne Hughes. William Bullock and Joseph Gaston are to be commended for their participation in this publication. Inez Parker and James Bishop are to be noted for always lending a kind word and listening ear. Delmar for ser cing me and Kim, Sherill, Sissy, Charles, K - Ka ren, Lynete, Annette, Lawrence, Paul, Marc, Stitch , D.C. , Sheila, Yzette, Debra, Ricky, Dr. Greenfield, Donovan, and my instructors for putting up with me. And you, the student, for needing me. And God for keeping me. Without all of you I would have failed.
