TABLE OF CONTENTS CONTENT Editor’s message President’s message Dedication Memorial Faculty Administration Organizations Pastime Paradise, Informals Letter of Appreciation TO THE CLASS OF 1978 Every high school and college yearbook staff has made the statement that their yearbook “is the finest yearbook ever produced ... 99 the mighty and great Class of 1978 is no exception. Not only is our book one of the finest, But also one of the most unique, from it’s unique cover to it’s unique Informal section. We the staff have tried to capture not only the togetherness and energy of the Class of 78 s final year but also of it’s first, second and third year. There is no question that during our four years at Lincoln we have had some good times and some bad, but as you look through your yearbook think of all the great times we’ve had, of all the friends we’ve made, the lessons we’ve learned and the experiences we’ve gone thru. And as you read the final page ask yourself “Could it have happen any other place other then Lincoln?”. I would also like to take this time to thank the members of the Yearbook staff with special thanks to Thomas Varella of the Public Relation office. Although everyone on the staff worked hard, I realize I worked some harder then others; so with apologies and thanks;I wish to give special recognition and thanks to Christine Curry, Rodney Nicholas, Lawrence Charity, Denise Raymond and my two co-editors Lois Jamison, who kept track of loose ends and Ms. Maria Champagne who I worked to the point of murder, mine. James McCreary Editor 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE October 20, 1977 TO THE CLASS OF 1978: In a world overpopulated with navel gazers, I find that bidding good-bye to the Class of 1978 takes on an especial urgency. The repellent data of inaction and inattention remind us daily of the great need for you to look beyond yourself at your responsibilities to your society. What you see is not a pretty sight—the unemployment figure for Blacks in Phila- delphia, for example, stands at a staggering 18.1 5, the highest of any major city in America; the Allan Bakke case has Just been argued before the Supreme Court of the United States. This case has already injured the cause of our young people in seeking graduate and professional training beyond college and it could be almost ruinous to your hopes and the hopes of our children yet to be born, unless the Court finds an inspired ruling that will enable us to continue to move towards parity in the learned professions. We have a world with variegated forms of fear. But it remains too a world of immense hope and promise. We hope you carry from Lincoln an intellectual and ritual framework that will enable you to participate in these oft tragic affairs without losing your belief that intelligence, hard work, and concern for human kind can lead to a better use of the world's resources and can bring the advantages of civilization to all the peoples on this earth. Perhaps this optimism should be tempered with the realization that you will observe too the play of the contingent and unforeseen in history. Thus resilience is necessary. May you be spared a frantic and disunited life. May you find your legacy from Lincoln consoling, helpful, and richly preparatory for your respon- sibilities and purpose-designed obligations. Lincoln will forever hold you precious and will forever be here to aid you—a true Alma Mater. Hy final hope is that Lincoln has enabled you to answer that perennial question: What is worth doing? in a world that offers so many choices and distractions. Very cordially yours, Herman R. Branson President ' 3 DEDICATION TO Dr. H. Alfred Farrell is a man who ha9 rendered his service in a manner unparalled to any other faculty member on this campus. Dr. Farrell is always assisting people unself- ishly and with a 9mile: service beyond the call of duty has become a way of life. Dr. Farrell’s idealism parallels the ideals of the liberal arts: compassion, awareness, and a profound sensitivity for his fellowman. It is with great pride that we dedicate this 1978 edition of the Lion Yearbook to Dr. H. Alfred Farrell, a man who ha9 dedicated over twenty-five years of his life to students and community of Lincoln University. Dr. Farrell wa9 born on February 15, 1914 in Chester Pennsylvania. He attended Watts School in Chester until he reached the fifth grade where he transfered to the Reading School in 1930 and in the same year began matriculating to Lincoln University. Dr. Farrell graduated in 1934 as the salutatorian of hi9 class and received his degree Magna Cum Laude. He went on to receive his masters and Ph.D from Ohio State University. Dr. Farrell became the first member of hi9 class to receive the Ph.D. degree. Dr. Farrell joined Lincoln in 1952 and he served a9 an instructor of English and a9 Assistant to the President. He then became the director of Public Relations. He began hi9 service in 1955 and served until 1962. In 1956 he became Chairman of the English Department, a position he held for seventeen years. Dr. Farrell the Director of Alumni Relations in 1962, a position he still holds today. Some of the duties of thi9 position involve aiding the Yearbook Staff, Co-Advi9or to the senior class, and the conversion of seniors to alumni but Dr. Farrell has served over and beyond hi9 listed duties. Dr. Farrell has exemplified the high standards, goals and achievements that this institution ha9 come to stand for. He has exemplified one of the most quotted mottoes: “Life does not exist in a vacuum” for he served with the vereality of a polymath. Dr. Farrell has not only served as a teacher of students, but a9 a teacher of teachers. I I THE GREATEST Archie Perry was born January 27,1942, in Coatesville, Pa. As a Coatesville youth, Mr. Perry attended Coatesville area schoole (James Adams Elementary Junior High School and Scott Senior High School). In 1959, “Arch” as he is affectionately known, sought to further his education at Lincoln University, Pa., where he received his B.A. degree in general science. In 1973 “Arch” went on to the Main Campus of Penn State University, where his interest was counselor education. From 1963 to 1966 “Arch” taught science at the Roberts Vaux Junior High School in Philadelphia, and in 1966-67 he instructed students in the science at Abraham Lincoln Junior Senior High School, also in Philadelphia. From 1967 to 1973 he was back in Coatesville, where he taught science in South Brandywine Junior High School. In 1974 Archie Perry made a move of great importance to the Lincoln University community. He accepted a job as a counselor in the Special Services Program at Lincoln University. During these years, from 1974 (which started the years for the Mighty and Great Class of ’78) up until the present, “Arch has worked diligently, closely, and relent- lessly in behalf of almost every field of constructive student endeavor. His warm smile and evident shyness have put Archie Perry in a charismatic class of his own. Through the years the majority of our class have not only come in contact with this man frequently, but have come to love him as he displayed a certain love for us. As our past class advisor, he made “survival of unity” among us possible with his patient, well-planned guidance. For this guidance and wisdom, we hold “Arch” in the highest esteem, and for his understanding we love him with great devotion. We know that there are some people “Arch” will never be able to forget, and others we hope that he will not forget..among them, the MIGHTY AND GREAT CLASS OF 1978 P.S. We’ll miss you “Arch”! SENIORS OF WHAT WILL TH T THE 1978 CLASS i YEAR 2001 BRING? SENIORS OF TH Farewell For Now Even though we hardly knew I miss you Time seems to take us away Away from friends Away from love Away from sharing Away from giving You’re not here But still you’re living Somewhere, someplace Farewell for now Until time brings us together again Farewell for now, my friend Deborah Sanders “78” Johnnie Arthur Woodson Johnnie Arthur Woodson Jr., once a student here at Lincoln University, was called to rest in June, 1977. Known as Johnnie Woo by his friends and colleagues, he graduated from Lincoln in May of 1977. Johnnie was an active member of Grove Phi Groove Social Fellowship Inc., here at Lincoln. Thus allowing him to become an avid participant in the activities both social and service rendered to the Lincoln community. Also a member of the Psychology Club, Johnnie Woo continued his spark of light to the community of Lincoln and surrounding areas. We the class of 1978 and the students here at Lincoln University would like to pay tribute and respect to Johnnie Arthur Woodson Jr., who left us all with a sparkle of life we will all remember.

Mans reason must not overshadow his pas- sion, because one cannot be considered without the other. He must have patience, for we have nothing but to give to ourselves.

Love saves, and it’s the only way to perfection. 114 Steven Christian CASPER Zodiac: Aquarius Feb. 13, 1955 Goal In Life: Doctor of Psychology - Actor (on the side) Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Drama Workshop — Producer - Director, Chess Club “In all the years I’ve been here I’ve learned to live a little and love a little, and in parting I would like to wish all students entering Lincoln U.
