I I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Kenneth B. Williams William F. Edmead James A. Johnson James W. Pruitt John H. Bufford Joseph L. Hines James W. Alexander Editor-in-Chief Assoc. Editor Art Editor Business Manager Advertising Manager Sondra E. Draper Maceo N. Felton Albert R. Kometa Carl D. Clarke Charles R. Hamilton Joseph W. Daniels FOREWORD The change from the old to the new is said to he a long and tedious one. While we have attended Lincoln University we have witnessed a change -- the evolution of many things. We have seen buildings, departments and new courses emerge. Boys and girls have trans- formed into mature, responsible and constructive men and women. Lincoln men and women have played an active role in America's fight to make all her children free. The Negro has revolted against the hypocracy and ignorance of this generation. The entire African continent has sought independence and Lincoln's facilities have prepared many of the outstanding leaders of African independence. From our teachers and professors we have learned the value and importance of obtaining knowledge, and using it. We, the Noble Class of '64 from the line of PI, Sons of David, as we leave this hallowed ground, will never forget the debt which we owe to our Alma Mater. 4 James W. Frankowsky Class Advisor H. Alfred Farrell Yearbook Advisor The class of 1964 wishes to thank both our advisors for their patience, effort and understanding. We sincerely appreciate what you have done for us, and consider ourselves fortunate for having had such wonderful advisors as you. 5 TO OUR PARENTS IN APPRECIATION: For all the patience and endurance you have under- gone to ensure us a good education; For all the love, kindness, sincerity and affection you have given to help us along our way; For all the respect and goodness you have taught us to show toward our fellow man; For all the courage and fortitude you have instilled in us so that we might win our fight to make a place for ourselves in this world; For all the integrity and judgment you have encouraged us to employ; For all the time you have spent preparing us for a better world; We, your offspring and the class of 1964; do graciously and affectionately. DEDICATE TO YOU This yearbook. Sondra E. Draper, Editor 6 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY Dr. Marvin Wachman, President TO THE CLASS OF 1964: The past four years have been among most crucial in the history of this nation. Such deep and lasting changes have been occurring in the United States that we can truthfully say we are living in revolutionary times. The world of 1964 is far different from the world of 1960. Perhaps the climax of your Lincoln experience came in the com- memoration of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation. That anniversary indicated the great progress which has been made, especially in very recent years, but it also pointed up the tremendous tasks which remain to be completed before true eman- cipation and equality are reached. As college graduates, and especially as alumni of Lincoln Univer- 1 sity, you will be deeply involved in the heightened effort to make American institutions consistent with her ideals. Also, you will confront the pervasive effects of automation in our society. We all trust that your education at Lincoln has helped to equip you to deal with the important challenges which you will face. Lincoln has great faith in the class of 1964. 8 Best wishes from us all. MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1964: GREETINGS! You are being sent out into a world experiencing a population explosion, industrial automation, outer space explorations, and a social revolution. Sons of Alma Mater have in the century and decades before you met similar crises and made their contri- butions creatively to humanity and to better under- standing of people round the world. You join them with a broad liberal arts background, and we expect that you will do no less than they in this ever changing world. I salute you individually for teaching this milestone as you leave Alma Mater. Leroy D. Johnson Dean of the College TO THE CLASS OF 1964: The rate of change in technology is so rapid today that computers which are now being manufactured are likely to be obsolete before they are completed. It is estimated that knowl- edge has doubled in the ten years from 1950 to 1960. Change and growth in knowledge and technology are taking place in geometric pro- gression. Unless the individual continues to learn and grow he will become as obsolescent as the machinery. Your four years at Lincoln are successful to the extent that you have acquired the impetus which will cause you to continue to learn. 9 James Bonner MacRae Dean of Students Paul Kuchncr Registrar TO THE CLASS OF 1964: In this age of rapid change in all areas of human endeavor it is most appropriate that Lincoln Univer- sity follows in this trend. This change is visible in new buildings and the restoration of old ones. It is also apparent in the composition of the student body. Though change is not necessarily identical with prog- ress, there must be change if there is to be progress. It is my hope that many more changes will occur in the near future in other areas -- strengthened curricu- lum, quality of students, improved human relations. Our graduates have the opportunity to make a real contribution in some of these areas for a better and stronger Lincoln University. Austin H. Scott Vice President for Business and Finance Donald L.

IN MEMORIAM The class of 1964 deeply regrets the loss of one of its class- mates, Naftal Gichaba, who was mercilessly killed on January 18, 1964. As a member of the class, he actively participated in many clubs and organizations. He was president of the East African Students Union, a member of the International Rela- tions Club and a very competent teacher of Lincoln's newly founded Swahili class. His loss is greatly felt and he will always be remembered by his classmates and friends. 36 CLASS OFFICERS President . . Vice President Secretary . . Treasurer . . . .

Since the day of its nativity, the men of Alpha Phi Alpha have strived to fulfill the ideals, ambitions and aspirations which preempted and ulti- mately coerced the existence of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. We, the men of Nu Chapter, are proud to proclaim that we have endeavoured to sustain the ideologies which we hold dear: Scholarship, cordiality, brotherhood, health and honor. And through those moments tribulation and exhaustion, when our goals seem far, we always remember and extend to those about us the hospitality and friendship of the HOUSE OF ALPHA, Goodwill is the Monarch of this house 44 OMEGA PSI PHI BACK ROW: K.

Wealth, power and prestige are those intangible entities which some men achieve in life. In society the warmth that is generated by friendship is priceless, infinite in value and inexplicable in words. Our motto is, Friendship is essential to the soul; and as true Omega men, exemplify- ing those cardinal principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and uplift, we are bound by ties of love, fraternally, eternally. 45 KAPPA ALPHA PSI BACK ROW: R.

Mu Chapter of Lincoln University was chartered in May 1922 . . . with its motto, Cul- ture for Service and service to humanity. The fraternity has duly labored to promote countless programs of cultural and educational value. Mu Chapter raises its voices in the true tradition of Sigma singing, Our cause speeds on its way. 47 PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL BACK ROW: D. Closson, C. Woodard, J. Alexander, J. Dorsey, S. Wiles, R.

Destined to be the 110th graduating class from Lincoln University, our boast was to be able to glimpse both the old and the new Lincoln. Many traditions had passed into history, and many experiences were to be new for Lincoln during our time here, which was truly a period of transition. We first laid foot on thy sacred soil during a warm and sunny day in the late summer of 1960. The records show that there were one hundred and sixty of us, including five girls. Nearly all of the eastern seaboard states were represented, as well as the Virgin Islands, the British West Indies and both East and West Africa. Our experience here at Lincoln was to be unlike anything we had ever taken part in before and we were to grow from it. It was an educational experience, but it was also a chance for broadening our scope on life and doing better than our forefathers had done. It was a time, as Browning put it, when every man is his own architect. Traditionally, Lincoln has been thought of as an all male institu- tion. However, our class was fortunate enough to have five co-eds. They had a hardy spirit and it became apparent to everyone as they managed to sustain the rabble. Two of the girls, Sondra Dra- per and Pat Mitchell, stand out perhaps more than the others because they suffered under the terrific handicap of having to walk almost a mile to classes every day, many times coming up to campus just for meals. We chose as our president a husky football player from Rochester, New York, Ron Walker. Our vice president was a rather loquacious, but able individual from Chester, Pennsylvania, Donald Ducky Brooks. However, both of them were to leave Lincoln before their sophomore year and not return. During that first year, we participated in many of the traditional Lincoln activities: the rabble, wash-aways, drinking, hitch-hiking, and extreme procrastination. That was the year when many of us were brought to the realization that we weren't the scholars we thought we were and Biology 101, under Dr. Toye Davis, helped us arrive at this conclusion. But of all the events which happened that year, probably the most outstanding occurred when we returned from the Christmas vaca- tion and found that all the residents of Cresson Hall had been evicted and relocated in such make-shift dorms as the Hill House, the President's House, the old Farrell House and Vets Village. Cresson had been condemned over the holidays and was to undergo complete renovation. Thus, we became the last freshman class to use Cresson as a dormitory. 66 Sophomore year was much less exciting for us because the novelty of being away from home had worn off. However, we had become recognized Lincoln men and now had reputations to live up to. When second semester arrived, we found that almost the entire sophomore population residing on the first floor of Rendall had drawn their Lincoln careers to a close. Many of them were victims of the rabble. This was the semester when two guys from Tuske- gee bought a light green '48 Corvette. Everybody eventually all got a ride with them in their fashionable car. The class seemed a bit more ambitious now and so we decided to sponsor a weekend. We raised funds to take care of any initial expenses for our weekend via a student-faculty basketball game. Thanks to Coach Smith, the faculty beat us by one point, but we came away $17.40 ahead. April came and luckily the date we had chosen for the weekend was warm enough for our plans to be exe- cuted. The schedule for the day called for a record hop in the New Guest House in the afternoon, and a boxing exhibition in the Grim Gym. That evening there was a hayride for couples only and a dance in the Auditorium. Later in the Spring, those members of the class who wanted to, and whose academic standings with the University permitted it, pledged; thus, our second academic year at Lincoln ended amidst a pageant of greekdom. Things seemed to be looking up for us. Lincoln had a new presi- dent, Dr. Marvin Wachman, who came to us from Colgate Univer- sity. He had a winning smile and seemed to want for Lincoln all the things we wanted. There was a spirit of hope in the air; hence, changes were due shortly and we knew Lincoln was going to grow. Junior year began with a continuation of the transition spirit, in the ground-breaking ceremonies for the new Student Union Building, which was to be completed in January 1964. The African Center program began full swing and the Peace Corps sent a unit here to train for work in Liberia. The women students organized that year with about twenty members and became known as the Women Students Assocation, with Sondra Draper as president and Mrs. Grace Rudd as sponsor. This united group was a sign of change for Lincoln. The women were now a formal body. It looked like they were here to stay. While there had always been opposition to their presence here, our class did- n't seem to mind. We especially hated to see Marita Rivero leave us for Tufts that second semester. With all the new activities going on about campus, there really wasn't much time for boredom, but when it came Theodore Talia- fero and Bill Lee would buzz the campus with aircraft and our 67 spirits were lifted again. Senior year finally arrived, and found us all a little heavier, a little wiser, and slightly more mature. Independence now threat- ened to become a reality and whatever contribution we were going to make to the world was just about founded in our time spent at Lincoln. This was the year we all looked forward to, and yet, once it arrived, we didn't know exactly how to accept it. It was a time filled with sending off applications to graduate schools, com- pletion of requirements for graduation and generally making final plans for a life of responsibility. The first semester's activities were highlighted by Homecoming. It was a windy day, much to the dismay of many of us, but we knew this was our last Homecoming as undergraduates and we had to make the best of it. The focal point of the day was the parade in which Arleen Banks, from Pittsburg, Pa., represented us as class queen. Her escort for the day was a very nervous, but very proud Maceo Felton. The other activities for that semester included the dramatization Samuel Beckett's WAITING FOR GODOT by the Lincoln Players, with two seniors, John Greene and Jay Johnson playing leading roles. Also to be remembered among the outstanding activities was the establishment of Lincoln University's first all-girls cheer- ing squad, under the direction of Sonny Bufford, which was a great success. Our year was marred by the news of President Kennedy's death on the day we were trying to take senior pictures. Later that same semester, we were again shocked into grief when one of our class- mates, Naftal Gichaba, of Kenya, was struck and killed on the highway near the campus. Finals that semester brought goodbyes for many of our classmates who had completed their requirements for graduation. Some of them we perhaps would never see again because military obligations would keep them from attending graduation exercises. The others we would see only once more --at graduation. Second semester brought the anxiety of awaiting graduation. With Commencement came the utilization of all that had been learned before. Thus, Dear Lincoln, we are grateful. Thy sons will 'er be true and we'll always cherish the golden hours we've spent beneath the dear old orange and blue. 68 James W. Pruitt STUDENT DIRECTORY Henry E. Abbiw, c o Mr. K. T.
