m June 8, 1945 ' ' Y Time h s marched on. Each of us finds ourselves now in positions of which we dreamed ten years ago. This week the class of ' 45 is having its class reunion here at our Alma Mater. My dreams have become a reality thrpugh my winning of the Yale Series Prize for younger poets and my acceptance of the position as professor of Dramatic, Arts at Livingstone. I have been interested and inquisitive enough to learn that my fellow classmates are still carry- ing the torch of invincibitity. 1. 4. 9. n. 18. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19.

Grayce Springs, with her rich resonant voice and wonderful personality, has begun a concert tour. ■The Lyceum Committee of Livingstone College has booked her as their year ' s most superb attraction.

JOi iOR CLASS Nothing that is not worth striv- ing ior is worth having . The Junior Class comprehends well the above motto. We have many goals, some we know we cannot reach yet — we strive and we have accomplished some lesser goals. These goab we could not have attained, however if it had not been for the able guid- ance of our President, Benjamin Covington; our Sec ' y Alice Show; and Treasurer, Robbie Bishop. Light, right and truth we love. Gifts which come from heov ' n above. Give us more of these each day, God, Our Father, in Heov ' n we Pray. FRESHMAN CLASS In the course of the existence oi Livingstone College new classes appear each year. This year we have a large Freshman Class who has made its entrance and who is trying to show others its abili- ties and aims under the leader- ship of President Vincent Byers, Jr.; Vice President, Mildred Harper; Secretary. Daisy Mclntyre; As- sistant ' Secretary, Louise Hughes; and Treasurer, John Byrdsol. We OS an organized group of students or© endeavoring to reach our goal which we know is high but which we will attain. RESHMAN GLAS t
