I am that mass of energetic protoplasm known as the class of 1945. On September 11, 194L I came forth seventy in number, an amalgamation of peculiar fea- :ttares, representative of fifteen states. It was the first night at the reception tha I met my faculty and fellow-students. I saw things happening around me and immediately I chose alert and able members from my group as leaders. My president was the aspiring young minister, William B. Cowherd; Miss Elease V. Sutton, vice president; Miss Ruth Brown, secretary; Miss Olga Easley, treasurer. I contributed to the Miss Living- stone contest by sponsoring as my candidate. Miss Mae Travis Knox. I gave a Hood Literary Program. I took part in the extra-curricula activi- ties functioning on the campus. The following were chosen from my ilumber as representatives to the student council: Rev. J. K. Gibson, Miss Marguerite Curry and Miss Sarah Reeves. To climax my initial year, William Cowherd was awarded the Trent-walker Medal, and Miss Marguerite Curry received the Alpha Kappa Al- pha sorority Prize. 1942- 43 . . . Was destined to a very eventful year. On October 2, I found myself back ogoin beneath the Maples and the Oaks. Many of my members did not return. William Cowherd was again my leader. I became interested in or- ganizational activities. My members were among the basketball and football stars. I realized I could not be overcome, so I made myself known as the Invincible Class of ' 45 . This year I gave men to answer the call of duty in the United States Army: Cowherd, Shuford, Carson, Ellis. Boulware, and Williams. I again participated in the Miss Livingstone contest; Miss Olga Easley was candidate. At Commencement, Miss Sarah Reeves and Mr. Frank Williams won the Camera Club Awards, and Rev. Andrew Lawson won the Rev. J. W. Eichelberger Memorial Prize. 1943- 44 . . . Was a year of new determination for me. I regret to recall that many of my mem- bers were gone. New members joined me. I changed my official staff with the exception of treasurer. Miss Sarah Reeves, our newly ap- pointed president, proved a very able leader. Because of the wise advice of Miss Lottie M. Lyons; I remained keen and invincible. One of my members. Miss Margie Wright, displayed her talent through her performances over the local radio station. She also served on the Lyceum Committee for two years. L in all of my efforts strived to exhibit the marks of invincibility not only in scholastic achieve- ments but in all of my activities in my college community. Miss Ruby Johnson, one of our new members, was condidate for the title of Miss Livingstone. In May, I was hostess to a record-breaking An- nual Junior-Senior Prom. At Commencement the following awards were received: The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Award, by Mary L Thompson and The Price Medal by Rev. Russell Roberts. I was proud of my achievements and so looked forward with zeal to 1944-45. 1944-45 ... Is a decisive year. This is the time to which I have looked forward from my earliest existence. I have kept invincible , I sent my representatives to the Student Council, I made my contributioxv to the Miss Livingstone Drive. Miss Mable Miller was crowned Miss Livingstone . It was also this year that I contributed three mem- bers to become charier members of the Beta Kappa Chi Honorary Scientific Society: Yvonne Gordon, Marguerite Curry, and Frank Williams. I made one of my greatest contributions when Rev. Russell Roberts was made on honorary Mem- ber of the Notional Brent Association, because oi his Achievements in the oratory and literary fields. In May I was entertained at the Annual Junior- Senior Prom, Published the Livingstonian, and presented Class Day exercises. I have striven to reach my goal I have kept invincible . I. am not afraid of Tomorrow be- cause ol my achievements of Yesterday.
