C. is hard to do ‘ When it’s from something that you hold so true To dear ole L. C., we hate to say A good-bye to you, we'll be on our way. CHORUS So dear ole L. C., we'll think of you As one of greatness all the day through We'll honor, love and cherish thee As down life’s rugged path we flee. We've come through trials with vim and zest Through days of hardships, we have done our best Now comes the end and we must leave you Heartsbreak to go, but we’ve more work to do. Though life means hardships, let come what may We'll work and struggle each and every day Doing our best to reign and to rule We'll take a stand for thee, dear ole school. Our chance has come, so which way now? Or was it just a dream, We had in nineteen forty-two When life to us did seem As violets growing in the spring, Along a sunny stream? Four years ago we entered here, With aspirations high. A bond of conquerors we came “With wills to do or die.” Without a grumble or complaint, Without a tear or sigh. Each chose his field and took his stand, Just as a student should, Although in many instances, We were not understood. 'Twas felt that our adopted name, Gangbusters,’’ was no good. We faced our criticisms, And disappointments too, For in our vision we realized That we had work to do, To keep the colors waving, The modest black and blue. CLASS POEM WHICH WAY NOW A. EpGar Harris Along with our tough momenis, We've had a lot of fun, We've met new friends and sweethearts, And life has just begun, “Beneath the Maples and the Oaks,” What friendships we have won! We studied hard and we've received The training that’s required, To hear the welcome voice of one, Who'll say to us with pride, I now present you this degree That you might be inspired.” The challenge faces each of us, It must be our concern As we depart from Livingstone The light will ever burn. This, we'll remember when we have Forgotten the things we've learned. Oh, graduates of forty-six, We dare not make it seem To those who follow after us That life is but a stream, Our chance has come, so which way now? Or was it just a dream? MAGRETTA E. CLARK, A.B.

Major—Elementary Education if ant me ( | We, the members of the class of 1946, hav- ing reached the end of our scholastic career here at Livingstone ‘College, and though somewhat fatigued by incessant mental toil, but still of sound mind, memory and under- standing, do make and publish this our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. We bequeath to this noble institution of learning all the cash we shall have left at the end of our career, which, we hope, will aid the Trustees to reimburse the school for any damage we may have done to this edifice. We leave to our teachers all our unfinished lessons, and badly rendered recitations; we also will to them peaceful nights and undis- turbed slumber, for no longer will they have to worry about our examinations and disap- pointing grades. We leave to the Freshman Class a large bottle of unused brain glue’’ which we hope will aid them in fastening dates and other dry matter in their minds. To the Sephomore Class we will our de- gree of stability and maturity, which we trust will steer them through their trying years here. To the Junior Class, we leave our most noble and prized position—the inner shrine, the holy of holies, the sanctuary of the seniors. May they take their places with competence and appreciation. 1. Mary Owens bequeaths her petit waist- line to Sylvia Roberson; her height to Alice Saunders. 2. To Ruth Caldwell, Volina Jeffries wills her pleasing personality; and to Celeste Jeffries and Roberta Davis, her ability to keep a clean room. 3. To Thelma Richardson, Alice Shaw wills her neatness in size; to Elien Hillian and Helen Robertson, her ability to keep a clean room. 4. Massis Williams leaves her quietness and:modesty to Lula M. Staunton. 5. Benjamin Covington wills to Ernest Thomas his burning desire for the acquisition of knowledge and his profound love for the physical sciences. 6.

Rosalie McClain wills her love ior travel to Louise Hughes; and to Melva and Janie Harris, Budiou 54 in which she spent so many eventful hours. 10. To Thelma Richardson, Ruth Robbins wills her size: her struggle in Drama Class to Oliva Ellis; and her shapely feet to Aquila Hatley. 11.

Carson wills to James Cook his taste for clothes; to Harold Thornton his ability to jive the women; to Lynwood Howie his oratorical ability and vocabulary; and to Antonio Moreno his ability to run the Stu- dent Council. In Testimony Whereof, we the Class of 1946, have to this our Last Will and Testament subscribed our names and affixed our seals, this fourth day of June, A.D. one thousand nine hundred and forty-six. THE SENIOR CLASS W. Hayes Gordon. (Signed) = CLASS PROPHECY While rushing aboard the ‘Spirit of 56” today, to our surprise we met one of our former class- mates, Clara Martin. It brings to our minds another trip taken by 87 classmates on the ‘Spirit of 46.” Since parting from the crew, I, Mary Owens, sci- entific research worker, and Claudia Martin, teach- er, have been unaware of succeeding events. Clara, popularly called ‘’Butter-Roll,’’ therefore proceeds to give us the accomplishments of our bold and adventurous crew. Chatting and pausing often to greet passengers, she managed to give us some of the “latest.” You do remember that quiet shipmate, Ruth Robbins, don’t you? She’s now head of the Depart- ment of English at Howard University, where she received her Master's Degree. She also has her Ph.D. from the University of Boston. I hear that her profession has not interfered with her marital life. Butter-Roll’” informs me that Volina - Jeffries is now modeling gowns and hats for Sak’s in New York. Can you imagine it? She actually plans to marry and leave soon for Hollywood with her husband—lucky gal. Florence Bunch now has her own nursery on Eighth Avenue, in N. Y. She and her husband live peacefully in a lovely Dunbar apartment. Marie Jones has also gotten her greatest wish, a nursery schcol in her home town, Plain Field, New Jersey. Those Elementary Teachers really are being suc- cessful. Surprisingly, we learn that Pauline Gleen is teaching art (her headache) in her dear Pfaff- town, N. C. Incidentally, she is now Mrs. Rosebry. Upon visiting the Mother Zion Church of New York we are pleased to find Arthaniel Harris as pastor, and doing a fine job. We also learn that Virgil Hill and George L. Smith are running for Bishops in the A. M. E, Zion Church. Smith's family has increased to six. Leaving New York, we take a Southbound train from Pennsylvania Station. We no sooner settle and prepare to read comfortably when we receive several shocks. There smiling charmingly before our eyes is a picture of Hayes Gordon. The cap- tion reads: ‘‘Latest Hollywood Find’’; and he is starring with Lena Horne in her latest picture. Hazel Graves is also starring in this picture. Far- ther back in the same paper we fin d pictures and writings of three other classmates. Imagine our surprise to learn that Elnora Wooten is collecting information for her latest book, ‘Saturn Pounces Upon the Earth.” There is a picture of Alice Shaw with the information that she has just received her Ph.D. Degree at Atlanta University. There is also a writing covering the recent assignment of Bernice Yoeman as Laboratory Technician at Gen- eral Electric. Our next stop is Williamston, West Virginia. Here we find Julia Beatty as supervisor of the science laboratory at a high school. We also run into Mary Boger who is now visiting public lec- turer of kindergarten methods. Leaving Virginia, we stop in Washington. Soon after arriving, we hear that Juanita Pitts is now a surgeon at Freedman Hospital here. She is doing a very good professional job. While in Washington, we meet Elizabeth Young, Vietta Fair, and Elizabeth Smith. They are in Washington to make a report on the Negro Housing Problem in Mississippi. We learn from them that Gertrude Cox, Angeline Pembreton, and Otha Abernathy have just completed their experiment on soap produced from the peanut. Our next stop is at Gastonia, N. C., where we visit two of our former classmates, Rosalie McClain and Louise Patterson (the former Louise Black). They are co-principals of the elementary school there, where Louise’s husband, Duke, is principal ot the high schocl. We have arrived in the midst of plans for Rosalie’s wedding to a former sweet- heart. They supply us with more of the “‘latest’’ as follows: Benjamin Covington is now a success- ful dector in Hamlet, N. C. Arnolia Wilkins has confined herself to her housewifely duties and seems to be enjoying it, especially the rearing of her two healthy sons, aged 2, 4 And Guernia Jones, a Professor of Education at Tennessee State, her former Alma Mater. Our final stop is at our dear old Alma Mater. Here we find Loftus Carson is school lawyer and Whisperiell Clark is school nurse. It is a most interesting and pleasant discovery. While in Salisbury we are entertained by Mrs. Vivian Duncan and her husband. She has suc- cessfully combined elementary school work with home making. She tells us that Mrs. Genevieve Van Catledge has just accepted the leading so- prano role in the opera “La Traviata.’’ We find also Mrs. Annie Sue Evans, with her husband, taking her rightful position as leader in her com- munity. We learn from Mrs. Clark that Magretta Clark is still traveling in Europe as a reward for her work, ‘'The Tubercula Bacilli.”’ Having finished the search for our classmates back to their and our starting point, our Alma Mater, Claudia and I now bid our fond adieu and go our separate ways. MARY R. OWENS CLAUDIE MARTIN On September 29, 1942, a ship of 77 innocent and superstitious minds sailed into the great port of Livingstone College. The entire crew was aware of the storms that might have to be encountered; but despite the tempestuous seas of misunder- standing, we had decided to discover more and new territories. We realized, however, that our ship could not sail successfully without organization and under- standing. It was therefore necessary that we elect officers for our first year at sea. These were: James Rainbow, President; Sherman Blackwell, Vice- President; Sylvia Taylor, Secretary; Gertrude Cox, Assistant Secretary; and Ambrose Brazelton, Treas- urer. Arthaniel Harris and Hayes Gordon repre- sented us on the Student Council. From this point we beg to progress. Rapidly were we beginning to get into the trend of college life and grasp the spirit of loyalty and devction te Livingstone as exemplified by our predecessors, when the war clouds began to hang more heavily over our ship. Lower and lower they came until it was necessary for some of the members of our crew, along with millions of others, to answer the call of our coun- try. They were as follows: Ambrose Brazelton, Alfred Edwards, Alleyne Henderson, James Boul- ware, Sherman Blackwell, Calvin Anderson, Harry Krider, and Andrew Whitted. This was quite heart- breaking to us, Lut we were proud that we were able to contribute men for the sake of preserving democracy and keep Old Glory” flying high. Despite the disruption in our crew, we were still able to keep the spirit of ‘46 waving high. In April of that year, we gave one of the most spec- tacular social events ever before given in the port of Livingstone College. Also during that year, quite a few honors and awards were given to some members of our ship. Arthaniel Harris won the Trent-Walker Oratorical Medal; Ruth Robbins, the AKA Sorority prize; and Benjamin Covington the Laissez-Faire Hobby prize. In the fall of 1943 our members had decreased to 57. We thought that some of our superstitious ideas had departed after a year’s stay at sea, so we elected George L. Smith to guide us safely through the dangerous paths of class matters that were ahead of us. We hadn’t been back long when the inevitable hour came to one of our crew, Seabron Carpenter. Our hearts mourned his de- CLASS HISTORY parture; still we kept our spirits high and deter- mination was by no means lessened. This year Benjamin Covington won the Dr. W. A. Coleman award and James Rainbow the Lancaster-Devane Science prize and the Moore award. The sailing was rough, but George Smith guided the ship like an old sea captain on to victory. We again embarked in 1944, but because of various class catastrophes encountered upon the sea of Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics; and because of the sand bar of Algebra, together with the dreadful diseases of English, History, and So- ciology, our number of members decreased consid- erably. However, we were still succeeding. Several new members joined us. We were guided this year by Benjamin Covington who continued in the footsteps of the former presidents. We gave one of the best Junior-Senior Proms ever given, we tanked second in the ‘’Miss Livingstone’’ contest, and Veitta Fair won the Junior Medal in the J. C. Price Oratorical Contest. 1946 found us still fewer in number but by no measure less determined or courageous. Volina Jeffries was crowned ‘’Miss Livingstone,’’ which brought recognition to the crew. We lost no time on this year at sea. We went to work immediately so that we might be prepared to meet adequately our obligations. George Smith, with his staff, worked untiringly on the annual. However, storms still raged and it seemed as if the engulfing waves would wash away our unity and interest; but despite discouragements, the officers of the fleet: Benjamin Covington, President; Veitia Fair, Vice- President; Volina Jeffries, Secretary; and Vivian Duncan, gave command to ‘Sail On’'!—and so we are singing as we go as did an illustrious son of Livingstone in ‘94: Oh Livingstone, My Livingstone When thou art old with age Thou, ioo, shall hold a noble place That's bright on memory’s page And in the sky, no cloud shall be Instead thy sun shall beam Prosperity shall live always Amid its golden gleam. W. HAYES GORDON UNDERCLASSMEN AND ORGANIZATIONS FRESHMAN CLASS As we have come upon our first year of work at Livingstone College, we have striven “to seek, to find and not to yield,” under the leadership of Robert L. Howie, President; Walter L. Young, Vice-President; Marion Kincaid, Secretary; Martha J. Richardson, Assistant Secretary; Julius Fuller, Treasurer; and Willie M. Lewis, Parliamentarian. We, as members of the Freshman Class, do not have enough words in our vocabularies to express the inspiration that we have obtained here at Livingstone College, but we will go on and on, even so high that we hope to reach those heights of intellectuality. SOPHOMORE CLASS “Together we stand, divided we fall.” This motto clings in the memory of the Sophomore Class, and we are striving to apply it daily. Ruth E. Little, President; Jessie Lee Wiggins, Secretary; and Louise Hughes, Treasurer. JUNIOR CLASS Congratulations to you who are now setting the pace. We accept the torch which you extend to us. Fear not that your efforts shall have been in vain for our group bids you farewell with a promise to perpetuate the ideals of L. C. May you always remember the Junior-Senior Prom given in your honor. William J. Powell, President; Ollie Mae Thompson, Vice-President; Rosa L. Bellamy, Secretary; and Aquila Hatley, Treasurer. VETERANS CLUB Ours ‘has been that of service in the various branches of military service at home and abroad. We went to defend “Old Glory.’ The hostilities have ceased but we have fighting to do here in the confines of America in order that our military victories may count for what they signify. We are off to a good start under the leadership of President Loftus C. Carson. What we have done here for our campus will not soon be forgotten. The famous “Army Daze,” crowning the queen, the financial contribution to the Gym Fund. Now that we are the Alpha Chapter of Gamma Iota Alpha, National Veterans Association, our influence will be felt beyond the geographical boundaries of t he campus. SOCIAL SCIENCE FORUM The free expressions of current events, economicaly, politically, and socially have played a significant part-in keeping our members informed about their very lives and how men are living throughout the four corners of the world. Our President, Loftus C. Carson, has been instrumental in helping to bring “Sigma Rho Sigma,” honor society in the field of Social Science for Accredited Schools and Colleges, here on our campus. The Forum has six of its members as charter members of this organization. SUNDAY SCHOOL We feel our Sunday School activities an intricate part of our daily lives. We look forward to our Sunday School activities and attempt to grasp the profound principles which we discuss weekly. Superintendent, Benjamin Covington; Assist- ant Superintendent, W. Hayes Gordon; Chairman Worship Committee, Juanita Pitts; Custodians, James Cook, Van J ohnson; Treasurer, Lynwood Howie; Pianist, Mildred Ellis; Secretary, Anna Downing.

Flack President, Volina Jeffries Vice-President, Marie Jones Secretary, Dorothy Stacy Assistant Secretary, Hagalyn Seay Treasurer, Florence Bunch STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council attempts to fos- ter a harmonious relationship between the Administration and the Student Body. It stands for democratic ideals in voicing students’ opinions and enacts legislation if necessary. It serves as an intrepreting body between the Admin- istration and Students. To this end the Student Council endeavors to carry out its purposes and functions. Benjamin Covington, President; George L. Smith, Vice-President; and Janie E. Harris, Secretary. The Young Men’s Christian Association fosters in the College community high ideals and Christ-like character. It is the belief of our members that Christianity in a real sense can be motivated through its recreational, social, intellectual and spiritual phases. To this end, each member dedicates himself through loyal service and devotion. President, William J. Powell; Vice- President, Mack Ellis; Secretary, Lynwood Howie; Treasurer, Van Johnson; Chaplain, Andrew Gibson; Faculty Advisors, Dean J. H. Satterwhite and Rey. Frank F. Brown. The Commercial Club is continuously progressing under the leadership of Mrs. Ollie M. Sawyer. We boast of the fact that we have learned to do a variety of things in this field, such as making various kinds of programs and greetings with coloring on the Ditto and Mimeograph; tabulations; methods of developing speed and accuracy; several skills in addressing envelopes, cards, assembling carbon copies, etc. Also, some are developing into efficient stenographers. Mrs. Genevieve Catledge, President; Jessie Sloan, Vice- President; Elnora Wooten, Secretary, Reporter; Pauluine Glenn, Treasurer; and Rey. J. W. Ward, Chaplain. DCO MrPHOARyMEZON ros WX ERNE tc ett eer ae iy te asd Social Tid Bits’ We humans take pleasure in looking back through the years upon those things which stand out in our memories. It is these things which one remembers, which have made his life what it has been. Happy, sad, bitter, embarrassing, or disap- pointing, they have played their part in shaping a life. From the time of our entrance here in 1942, it has been these things which have lined the humdrum existence of daily life. The past four years have wit- nessed the fulfillment of hopes long harbored by those who work for our institu- tion. These have also been fulfilled those not so long hoped for but important, nevertheless. The major event of our Freshman year was the completion of the Price Memorial Administration Building. Complete with the most modern equipment, it is one of which to be proud. It took the place of Ballard Hall and houses all of the facilities for good studying. A year later Ballard Hall, the former administration puilaime, was converted into a music hall, complete with pianos and rooms for music classes. This is still in a stage of progress. In the spring of 1945, there was cause for much rejoicing, both among students and faculty. The school received its “A” rating, which had been looked forward to. At the beginning of the school year 1945, pipes were laid connecting the heating facilities of all buildings with the central heating plant. All buildings are now being heated in this manner. In the spring of 1945, there was cause for much rejoicing, both among students and faculty. The school received its “A” rating. There are several additions and constructions now being built. There is now being added a wing to the library. This is very near completion. Long planned for the gymnasium foundation has just been completed. This building is to contain facilities for sports, sleeping for visiting teams, and other necessary equipments. Very near completion is a larger and better tennis court. Tennis-lovers are happy to hear this, and also the tennis “fans.” Land has already been surveyed for a teachers’ home, vee is to be built facing the campus. Meanwhile other plans are in the making for a Home Economics Building and a Dining Hall. During the progress of the erection of these buildings, there have been sev- eral entertaining lyceum programs. Among these were William Allen, pianist; Dorothy Maynor, soprano; and Carol Brice, contralto. CLASS NEWS There is a certain pride—should I say self pride in those things which we do ourselves. There have been those things in our four years here, too. An outstanding event of our Freshman year was a social affair which we gave for the faculty and student body. With gay decorations of green and white, and with the odor of honey-suckles permeating the atmosphere, the evening was off to a gay start and an enjoyable ending. Long awaited and looked forward to, the time for the Junior-Senior Prom soon drew near. The setting was a tropical island scene, complete with palms, trop- ical skyland, moon, and native girls. The evening was enjoyed by all. Now ’tis almost time for graduation and that tense, expectant feeling is in the air. ;.. Which way now???? What Would Happen...If James Cooke would be serious?
