We shall remember dog days, birthday dinners, mail lists, class meet- ings, nights in the library, football games which were fun. We shall remember dormitory sessions, Hood lit., one act plays, maples and oaks, locked doors at breaklast, dances which were thrills. We shall remember Price Hall, the front gate, Mrs. Trent in the Spring, the choral union. Freshmen in the Fall, semester examinations which we dreaded. We shall remember textbooks, chapel hours, teas, the back parlor, Mon- roe Street School and Price, Student Council, teachers, Junior-Senior Proms, fuses which blow out every Saturday night. To us all these things and many more are a part of the Livingstone in our heart; that grand Livingstone we shall always remember. —ANNE DERR. SENIORS HATTIE ELIZABETH ANDERSON, A.B.

PROPHECY I have just returned from Russia where I ' ve been making a study of race relations in that country. I know that ten years hove passed since I graduated from Livingstone College in 1944. I began an inquiry about the members of that class and this is v hat I discovered. Dorothy Slade is now Professor of English at L. C, her Alma Mater, after receiving her advance degrees from Cornell University. She has just written a text- book on Grammar for College Students. Louise Foster is executive secretary in the Congres- sional Library at Y ashington, D. C. Katrine White is now Dr.. White, surgeon at Provi- dent Hospital, Chicago and she is becoming quite an authority on the anatomy of the cat and its relation to man. George Bowers has just become coach and Dean of men over the thousand fellows enrolled at Livingstone. Hannah Ellis and Royce Howell have given up their teaching aspirations and they are playing the leading roles in a Broadway musicale. I attended one of the performances of their show and the crowd was im- m.ense and enthusiastic. Katherine Wall is an author of Children ' s books, stories and songs of course; she ' s a Mrs. Sarah Bowser is also. She combines home making with a successful nursery-kindergarten which is caus- ing much comment in educational circles. Marion E. Gunn is a prominent social worker in the Boston area. She, too, is doing original work in her field. V illiam Clemmons is chief research chemist for Du Pont. It is predicted that he will surpass even Dr. Carver in his innovations. Had dinner with the F ' red Thompsons. She is the former Onie Cooke. Onie is the social leader in their town and they have two darling little children. Learned that Alean Marshall has been forced to interrupt her career and enter a hospital when she fell victim to sleeping sickness. Mr. and Mrs. King have become prosperous mer- chants of Salisbury. Mrs. Georgia Mitchell and Masco McKinnon have worked out a Mathematical formula which has even Frank Einstein puzzled. Mamie Ledbetter and Vera Mcllwaine are science professors at N. Y. U. Isabelle Gibson and Margaret Holt have collaborat- ed on a historical thesis about the Downfall of Hiro- hito. Hitler and Mussolini. Chester Donald has given up science and gone in for movie production. He is reputed to be a multi- millionaire. Josephine Kelley has an important government po- sition with several secretaries who are at her beck and call constantly. Saw Esther Shaw and Lucinda Dillard in Nev York. Esther missed a fatal accident when she was late for her train enroute to New York. They are both married. Ruth Crosby James and her husband are together now that the war has ended. Ruth is a leader of civic affairs in Chester and Diane has a brother and a sister. Clyda Hewitt has become quite a glamour girl being the star of the current movie Only One, the most successful all negro cast picture to be made since Lena Home ' s Stormy Weather. Lizora Holman and Ethel Mcllwaine are co-prin- cipals of Monroe Street School since Miss Lowery has retired. R. E. Stephens is minister of a large church in Buf- falo. Hattie Amderson is public lecturer on primary school methods. Frances Gray is supervisor over schools in the Kan- napolis district; promoter of better race relations in the North Carolina area. Don ' t let me forget to tell about Saunders. He ' s a M. C. on the Mutual Broadcasting hook-up. 1 also had dinner with Allen Mitchell and he is chairman of the ways and means committee, discuss- ing new methods of spending the taxpayers ' money. Wonder what they ' ll all be doing when ' I return from Brazil? ANNE DERR. HISTORY ' ' Efforts Spent Fruitless are Efforts Spent in Vain I have not been effortless nor have my efforts been fruitless. Through what have I come? What has men- aced my progress and how well have I mastered the situation? No! I was not the master of my fate. But I tried to act with the forethought and determination that would hove sufficient influence to determine the direction and the nature of my fate. This I did. From a frigid world that know nor care for any stranger 1 came into this life. 1 v as a stranger then; I am a stranger more now. What the outside world holds for me I have yet to experience. But that I do not fear. That I will falter cannot be the question success must be mine or the efforts spent become fruitless and vain. These things I saw: It was September of the year 1940 that I knew my- self. Eighty -one strong, eighty -one new-bom college freshm_en, strong and robust, possessing potentialities and eager to give to this life their all. Lamarr Howard had the honor of being my first president. 1 went to work with a new vigor and my contribution was made. Scholastically 1 contributed and with fervor, through Lamarr Howard, Dorothy Slade, Robert Alleyne, Wil- liam Clemmons, Marion Gunn and others. I was rep- resented in all phases of extra-curricular activities, and my might was felt and recognized. My sophomore year was no less successful. I lost some members but I gained others. My enrollment was still above sixty. I elected William Clemmons to lead me through the next nine months of college hfe. So great had been the impression made in the pre- ceding, year that from my ranks many student leaders and representatives were selected. My scholastic con- tributors were increased and I became a challenge if not an incentive to my schoolmates. I excelled in extra-curricular activities; athletic, student leadership and social organizations. Among my gains were: Mar- ion Gunn awarded the Oestreicher prize, John Henry Blue versatility in athletics, William Clemmons won the Moore award. I ranked second in the Miss Living- stone contest; I led in number and percentage for scholastic honors. At last! An upperclassman, some forty-five strong and as versatile as ever. Dorothy Slade was honored with my presidency. And here was a job well done. It was this year that I faced with a great problem of survival. The world was at war, total war. New experi- ences were to be mine, rich experiences that have such a great bearing upon me and my constituents. I lost many in the draft. Lamarr Howard, Fred Mitchell, Rob- ert Covington and others. But I was still to gain despite the losses. I was the challenger, not the challenged. I worked hard and earnestly; thus v as 1 able to reap. Marion Gunn was again awarded the Oestreicher award; Anne Derr the Junior Oratorical medal; Wil- liam Clemmons the Moore award; Sarah Bowser was just nosed out for honors of being our Miss Livingstone. This year I reached very near the peak. William Clem- mons was elected president of the student body, Ka- trine White was elected vice-president, Josephine Kel- ley was elected superintendent of the Sunday School. What a year! ! Going, goin — my senior year rolls around. My pres- ident, William Clemmons. It ' s the home stretch and I ' m bidding no less than ever before. I have progressed to this very dote. There appears nothing that can slow my pace. Katherine Wall is my Miss Livingston, over- whelmingly. William Clemmons still leads the student body. Dorothy Slade is Editor-in-Chief of The Living- stonian . I had my scholastic honor percentage. I am proceeding according to schedule. To continue this progress in the future, to add a bit of warmth to this world is my greatest desire. lAndsuudjCUkAjmsin. PATRONS MR. EDWARD CUNNINGHAM Beacon, N. Y. REV. AND MRS. I. H.

JUNIORS In all of our efforts, we the members of the Junior Class strive to exhibit the marks of Invincibility , not only in our college community but throughout all phases of social instruction. The officers of the class: President, Sarah Reeves; Vice-President, William Edwards; Secretary, Mae Travis Knox; Treasurer, Olga Easlcy; Faculty Advisor, Miss Lottie M. Lyons. FRESHMEN Press forward, we say to the class of ' 44, and we hope your deeds at our dear Alma Mater v ill ever be shining. We say Press forward to you because we have said the same to ourselves, for when the class of ' 47 says goodbye to the Maples and the Oaks, we know our spirit for cooperation, scholarship, achievement, and high moral character will live on and on. Our officers are: Wm. Coleman, President; Geraldine Gordon, Vice-President; Alfonzo Goodwin, Parliamentar- ian; Jean Frazer, Secretary; and Franklin Stewart, Treas- urer. G. L. Blackwell and J. McDaniels are our student council representatives. SOPHOMORES The menace of the years finds the members of the Sophomore Class brave and resolved to be adequately prepared for whatever the future presents. We are aware of the challenge that world conditions offer us and we accept it with a dogged determination to add our weight toward balancing the conditions of the world of to- morrow. NURSERY-KINDERGARTEN The increased enrollment of the Nursery-Kindergarten during its six years of development shows evidences of the provisions made for the physical, mental and social development of the pre-school children of the city. The pre-school endeavors to create a wholesome atmosphere for these miniature students by combining the activities of the home with those of the school. CHORAL UNION Each Sunday afternoon, the walls of our chapel ring with the echoes of Beethoven, Handel, Bach and many other profoundly eminent masters of the music that moves a person ' s most inner being — his soul.
