Lincoln University - Lion Yearbook (Lincoln University, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1960 volume:

Coh f$60 With the passage of years, you may look back upon this school year as the time when the darkness of ignorance suddenly became bright with the gleam of knowledge. To preserve a record of these moments and the countless other experiences of you and your class- mates, this annual strives to capture the eyes and mind of the scholarship, the leadership, the ac- tivities, and the character of Lincoln University. 2 Scene 3 JJJJJJ DecUcataut To Dean Harold F. Grim, who has sought to educate and to elevate the minds of Lincoln Men for more than fifty years. You have done this by being a living example of the ideals and goals to which you would have us aspire. You have always recommended pioneering to us as a way to break through the barriers which lead to a fruitful and successful future. Lincoln Men, who have heard you say this through the years, have used this as a guide, and in many instances have reached heights in their chosen pro- fessions. Though you are retiring at the termination of this school year, we consider ourselves very fortunate to have completed our four years while you were still with us. Your guidance, patience and understanding has been greatly appreciated and so, we the class of 1960 humbly dedicate our yearbook to you, and we asure you that we shall always remember that education is a serious business. ‘Si Caycf, 4.1 .r d zfciyette; TPt.S., (fytcay T .Sc.f 5 s4cU«tf ‘P'te6tc(e t t e VinivenAitef, s4'utt4tetuC O. “PitHceto ; P6.72.

We have studied diligently and found that the advice given by you our devoted faculty, has truly been for our own good. You know, we even visited the library occasionally and discovered that there was more to that beautiful building than the Browsing Room! Does this surprise you? Yes, it would have been impossible for us to have attained the heights that are now ours had it not been for you. And so, we will always be indebted to you and shall cherish your concern for us as teachers as well as confidants. THANKS LOADS! 4 I ) I I ALFRED F. ANDERSEN Mathematics SOPHY H.

You and I began our intellectual pilgrimage together four years ago and now it has been completed, thanks to both grace and work. Because you were my first class I have a certain attachment to you. I enjoyed working with you and trust you received some intellectual and spiritual help from me and your other teachers. May I remind you that our churches need your guidance and your leadership. Help them in these crucial and exciting days. Share your insights and experiences with them. It is a wonderful feeling to have graduated from a university and you have a right to be proud of your achievements. I congratulate you and wish you every success.

Chemistry 30 32 s4friic zu Student rfoAoccatcou Our changing scene has seen Lincoln grow from a University for the education of American Negroes to one that invites all to enter its portals. In recent years one could not possibly speak of Lincoln without mentioning the African students, who have come to Lincoln to grow that they might return to their respective countries to become leaders in the dynamic movement for a free Africa, another changing scene. 34 Although the Lincoln University Biology Club is one of the youngest organizations on campus, in its few years of existence it has grown rapidly. The club was organized to aim towards giving the student of the biological science a more practical knowledge of the science by dis- cussions, lectures by prominent individuals and by field trips. (?Cu The Cantebury Club, a club of Episcopalian culture and fellowship, was organized to promote a better understanding of the spiritual as- pects of the Episcopalean Church. The meetings consist of discussion concerning rituals and new developments in the Church during the year. Under the leadership of Father Davis, the Club's advisor, the Cantebury Club has become one of the more active religious clubs on campus. 36 (26e fU4 ity @Cu The primary goal of this club is to allow persons interested in this field a chance to pick up some advanced knowledge on some subject in which there is not enough time to go into in details in the classroom Under the leadership of Dr. Leroy Johnson the group has made several trips to surrounding chemical plants, and has listened to many learned dissertations by eminent chemists at its meetings. ) tte H zUa ux£ Student s AAaciatcou Conscious of the important role former members of the Associa- tion are today playing all over the world in political economic and social developments, the association exists not only as a source of inspiration to international students and centre of reflection on what duties they owe to their mother lands, but also to embrace Lincoln University’s New Program of not existing to serve the Negro popula- tion alone but to provide a living laboratory of cooperation and mutual understanding through Education and Brotherhood. 38 I The dramatic club on Lincoln's campus, under the direction of J. Newton Hill, assures us of fundamental knowledge and experience in the theatre. The club has traveled along the eastern seaboard present- ing productions and building good will for the University. The Lincoln Players are affiliated with the Inter-Collegiate Dra- matic Association and the American Educational Theatre Association The club extends to every member of the campus the opportunity to take advantage of his natural talents. 'PCtu eM, 39 CKCoCtUtUt There is nothing more potent or important in today's hectic exist- ence than the power of the press. This is well exemplified by the con- tinual process of bringing all the news that's fit to print about Lin- coln's campus to the student body and members of the Alumni who desire this publication. Controversial points, sports, literary jewels, all these and more go into making of a successful college newspaper, and the students and particularly the Lincolnian Staff can feel proud that this is exactly what they have. To report events accurately; to make individuals think; to entertain--these are the factors involved in a news periodical of high caliber. The Lincolnian Staff should now feel that all their work was not in vain. 40 A Under the excellent counseling of Mrs. Gladys Renwick, the club has become a foremost instrument for forming beneficial friendship on an inter-racial plane. The Newman Club, a Club of Catholic fellowship, illustrates by its existence that Lincoln has not declined in its stress on religion as a basic part of a student’s background. t 41 Under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth Beardsley the Philosophy Club has brought before the students of Lincoln University, a well balanced program of guest speakers and panel groups. This was done in an attempt to stimulate further interest in philos- ophy and psychology. The Philosophy Club further strives to serve as an outlet for creative thought. 42 ‘PoCiticaC Science @Cu6. The objective of the Political Science Club has been to promote a better understanding of various political problems and to give the stu- dents of the field a chance to gain a more extensive knowledge of this area of study. The club, organized in 1954 by Political Science majors, under the guidance of Dr. Moses Lukaczer, propagates its aims by sponsoring panel discussions and lectures by prominent speakers. 43 Saccai Science (£lu6 Jf Although it is one of the youngest organizations on campus, it is by no means one of the insignificant. The Social Science Club was organized to promote interest in that field. It has been responsible for bringing a varied type of entertainment to those who have crowded its meetings. Discussions have been heard at the meetings on current matters such as the beat generation, and other controversial and informative issues. With Lincoln's changing scene, this organization has much to discuss. 1 44 The Student Senate of Lincoln University is today a living organ- ization. taking care of the difficulties and immaturities of our campus society. Utmost discretion is employed for each detail put before the Council in order to better the development among the student and the campus. This also initates and cultivates social and loyal pride to our college community and nation. This establishes cordial relation- ships between the students and the faculty as well as better under- standings both nationally and internationally. The prime concern of any society is the welfare of its individuals. The Student Senate was democratically organized with this sole reason in mind and is still maintaining this high standard of ideals. Student Senate 45 (2lu The members of the Varsity Club are men who have earned their varsity letters in athletic competition. The varsity letters in athletic competition. The varsity men have offered their service beyond aca- demic obligations and have succeeded in both endeavors. The student body of Lincoln University looks forward to the Home- coming celebration, which is sponsored by the members of the Varsity Club. All are assured that the Varsity Club will continue to contribute to the school's social life by promoting this Fall spectacle. 46 As an affiliated branch of the National Council of the Young Men’s Christian Association, the Y-Cabinet of Lincoln University has for its purpose the creation, the maintenance and the extension of high standards of Christian character throughout the school community. It also proposes to foster and promote cultural activities of the student body of the University, and to encourage athletic activities. 47 Beta Kappa Chi grew from an honorary fraternity at Lincoln Uni- versity into a national honorary scientific society. The purpose of Beta Kappa Chi is to stimulate and promote interest in scientific education and guidance of undergraduate training in all fields of science and to dedicate a reasonable position of time to graduate study for greater efficiency and better service in the different science fields. It also grants a small reward in recognition to those students who have completed meritable three years of scientific study while main- taining better than average grades. 48 B KX ZJra terriitie6 The Pan-Hellenic Council functions as a correlatory body, between the five fraternities and the administration. The council does not govern or regulate fraternities but rather suggests and advises the ethics by which the chapters conduct themselves together as Greeks or apart as separate organizations. With Lincoln's changing scene the duties of this group will become ever more important to keep fraternal matters in equilibrium. ‘Pcut 'ftyetCeeuc (? u tctC 5! HOUSE OF ALPHA GOODWILL is the monarch of this house. Men, unacquainted, enter, shake hands, exchange greetings, and depart friends. Cordiality exists among all who abide within. I am the eminent expression of friendship. Character and tem- perament change under my dominant power. Lives once touched by me become tuned and are thereafter amiable, kindly, fraternal. I inspire the musician to play noble sentiments, and assist the chemist to convert ungenerous personalities into individuals of great worth. I destroy all ignoble impulses. I constantly invoke principles which make for common brotherhood and the echo resounds in all communities and princely men are thereby recognized. Education, health, music, encouragement, sympathy, laughter--all these are species of interest given on self-invested capital. Tired moments fine me a delightful treat, hours of sorrow, a shrine of understanding-- at all times, I am faithful to the creed of companionship. To a few, I am the castle of dreams--ambitious, successful, hopeful dreams. To many, I am the poetic palace where human feeling is rhymed to celestial motives; to the great majority, I am the treasury of good fellowship. In fact, I am the college of friendship; the university of brotherly love; the school for the better making of men. I AM ALPHA PHI ALPHA! 52 1 Alpha Phi Alpha, the first of the Lincoln Greek organizations, was founded at Cornell University, in 1906. Also the first of the fraternities here at dear old Lincoln-- started back in 1912. Throughout the years the men of Nu have continued to be leaders in all respects, upholding the high standards of Alpha Phi Alpha. The bond of Alpha Phi Alpha is the force that holds each Brother steadfastly to Alpha's lofty precepts. 53 NATIONAL HYMN Omega dear, we are thine own, Thou art our life, our love, our home We ll sing thy praises far and nigh, We love Omega Psi Phi. To all thy precepts make us true; Live nobly as all real men do, Let manhood be our eternal shrine; With faith in God and heart and mind. Through days of joy or years of pain To serve thee e‘er our aim; And when we say our last goodbye, We ll love Omega Psi Phi. Onteya, P t Pfa 54 w Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was founded January 5, 1911 at the University of Indiana, Bloomington, Indiana. It is now com- posed of 210 undergraduate and Alumni Chapters on major cam- puses throughout the country. It has grown to a membership of over 16,000. Kappa Alpha Psi has been represented on Lincoln University’s campus since 1914. Kappa's fundamental purpose is Achievement, and they strive to obtain for all their members, all the benefits which can accrue from participation in a modern college brother- hood. Bonded by the spirit of brotherhood and with the gleam of achievement burning in their hearts the men of Epsilon stand here proud to do their part in upholding the name of Kappa Alpha Psi. Phi Beta Sigma was first chartered at Howard University, Washington, D.C., in 1914; the Mu Chapter was founded on this campus in May, 1922. In keeping with its motto, Culture for service to humanity, the fraternity promotes many programs of cultural and educational values. Phi Beta Sigma can rightly take pride in having initiated a program of cooperation between the Greek Letter organizations known today as the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. WE of old-- Our cause speeds on its way. 56 ® 9 SOCCER 58 FOOTBALL 59 CROSS COUNTRY 61 62 WRESTLING o With Lincoln's changing scene our school's athletic activity would make conservative alumni think of L.U. as a country club. The environment is quite the setting for such a club; the only thing lacking: a swimming pool (which we are looking forward to having some day soon). Besides intramural softball, wrestling, chess teams, basketball, tennis, golf, track and badminton, Lincoln participates inter-collegiately in soccer, cross-country events, football, basket- ball, wrestling, baseball, tennis, track and golf. With a predominately male school it is no more than natural for us to be athleticly inclined. We take pride in the fact that we have over fifty per cent of our student body participating in athletic activities, in spite of the fact that the school does not cater to athletes in any respect, and yet our men excel. Our athletic department which receives much criticism is one of the many things about Lincoln that causes Lincoln to grow on its students, binding them to our tradition, which the changing times cannot alter. 64 The scenp begins to change with cjsc gjpund breaking cetemorvy To� the new science building. 66 68 I'm going to sit at the Kappa table . . .

Spriggs A NEW ERA AT LINCOLN O where are the men of Lincoln these days Who should be on the gridiron practicing football plays? Are these the men that I see on the sidelines rab- bling Making sounds like a bunch of old women cackling and babbling? O how disgusted they make me feel; They try to act like men, but they are not real. O how I long for a gridiron without a grandstand Where I could run and tackle a so-called Lincoln man! O please don't think I am too hard on the boys; O I realize that football is no easy game; Some of us may get hurt, and some may be lame, But living these days is a dangerous game. 0 there are several in the rabble who resemble clowns; 1 know that they must weigh well over two hundred pounds. The so-called Lincoln man thinks a man who plays football is a fool. Personally, I think that all of these wise guys should have gone to a girls’ school. A football player THE WEEKENDER There he stands, our weekly traveler, Not a worry on his mind. Like the ivied walls he's leaving, Truly, wonderfully vined. Thumbing by the gate he poses. On his way, if luck betide. Under arm a book--to study? Dolt! - -to help him get a ride! Casts he not a quick glance upward At the threat'ning clouds? Clear, his thoughts are far beyond them, Lost in dancing social crowds. Knows he not the threat's a real one. Remembers not his lost friends' woes? Tolls the dirge, oft rung, not heeded; When it snows, someone goes. Anonymous 74 LINCOLN’S J.B. Many a folk there is in the world. And most you never see. Some overlooked, some forgot, But not Lincoln's J.B. His shoes were shined; His clothes were pressed with care; And he had white streaks Running through his hair. Potbelly, small feet On which he stand. Itching eyes, a gray mustache.-- He was a little-big man. And even when I reminisce I cannot find A man that stands so Like a monument in my mind. Let’s get ahead ’chere,' “ he'd preach. Yearning for a chance to teach. He traveled 'cross a million years of thought From bestial man to Mann he sought The mysteries of learning His mouth was small, Looking ready to cuss. When we were wrong, All hell broke out on us You’re wrong, he’d say. Get it outch your mind. You’d feel small as an elf. Don't fight it; you’ll get It in spite of yourself. He was so glad to learn and glad to teach. One to be followed Even when he preached The seemingly absurd. With such specification. Proud of education, Unto this man I rear a monument Not builded by hands. IMAGES The breeze is quiet now, quit! And the only sounds I hear are The ripples of small thoughts Motoring about the cranium. Trees are supposed to do What trees do. When Lil’s husband got inducted I said to him myself, ’Now Lil’s too fast a girl To be left alone too long. She'll want to have a good time. If you can’t give it to her, there Are others who will.’ How round and smooth her buttocks was! How soft her muscles were And her breasts, Her breasts were such lively things! But tasted like salt! Now, here I am. An old man in an autumn month Playing in haunted houses, Writing eulogies. Remembering memories, Not having toothaches anymore. I often come here And sit beneath this tree And reminisce almost forgotten thoughts About life’s lore. How like stories in a book About some other world. Waste land, pretentiously grand. O you rolling hills along the Brandywine, KEEP STILL!! A leaf rolls down a cemented path Making more noise than A man in leather shoes An elephant demands more space Than a man in his sleeping place. Black men hang from the branches of the trees The grass is also browning. Ray V. Spriggs 75 Ray V. Spriggs 76 77 DO YOU REMEMBER? Let's go back, back to the fall of '56 when we were greeted at the arch by a hearty Hey, dog, what's your name? There we were, honor and average high school graduates, being called dogs. It wasn't so bad after one got used to it. but for most of us this in itself was a problem. The daily lineup outside the dining room, the midnight song sessions on the soccer field and walking under the arch for the heck of it are memories I'm sure we'll always keep. Our first classes found us dutifully recording each word of importance uttered by our professors; we were on our way but unfortunately some of us neglected to take notebooks to class after that first week, and paid the price during final examinations. Sure we were smart! Why, Woody can remember how we sat in his room and discussed how we could baffle the upperclassmen on Wood Night--and we did. We used green wood for our bon fire! Pete and Cedric still talk about how much DJ they consumed between the two of them, and quite often you hear Humphrey Jones retell- ing the story of how he managed to get back to the dormitory on Wood Night. Our first Homecoming was really great. It was the first time since the Freshman Week that we had seen more than 50 young ladies on campus at one time. Clean-up, spruce-up and be calm was our motto. Water, water everywhere and LeRoy floated down the hall at 3:00 a.m. one Tuesday morning, didn't he Phil? News travels fast, for before breakfast the next morning, the entire campus had been informed that a student in Cresson Hall had been picked to take a bath in his bed. It must have taken the third floor weeks to plan such a blunder! Mills should encase his old alarm clock in gold. It sounded exactly like the telephone and at various hours of the night three rings could be heard followed by Mac's melodious voice, Hey, Joe, telephone. . . . click . . . splash . . . click, Joe, what happened to you man? Is it raining outside. To this extremely short list, at least 50 more incidents could probably be added, but really it would be useless since we all knew about them. The important thing, though, is that we remember what we've learned in these past four years and put that knowledge to use. Some of us will continue our education, others will become a part of the Armed Forces, and still others will seek employment. Whatever we may do, let's do it well and keep in mind that education is a serious business. Well, I guess this is so long; it's really been great! Good luck to all of you and may God bless you.

As I think of the familiar scenes and dream of the changes to come ... a thought runs through my mind-- To Lincoln U., its winding lanes, its stately trees, its rolling hills, its enchanting past, its challenging future, its famous names and historic figures. I salute thee.” As the years shall divide us ... it is hoped that these pages shall stand as a bond . . . While we lie dreaming let us dream of Lincoln--the wash-a-ways, the pledge periods, the final exams . . . and most of all the friends we leave behind whom we shall never forget. 81 Ali Faher, Abu-Hijleh Fauber’s Restaurant Wildwood, N.J.

Older students will remember all the tricks he did--his friendly habits ... the fact that he never jumped upon them as other dogs did . . . Later students will remember his aloofness ... his sup- porter (the only dog who owned one) . . . although during our four years he was in his old age. he was active, however, until he died . . . Many who were friendly with him were in this class . . . Those that are left will miss him--The Renwicks will never forget him!! 88
