C r r earful Trip Is Done On September 18, 1948, a crew of one hundred d twenty-four set sail for a long voyage. The sea was very rough, but after a week of orientation, 3 became acquainted with the rules and regu- lations of the college. During the last week of September, after we had become familiar with the members, we organized. Members were elected whom we thought were capable of responsibility as well as efficient leaders. We were represented in various organizations including the Choral Union, Dramatic Club, Student Government, Y . M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A. For the first time in the history of Livingstone College a Freshman was crowned Miss Home- coming. This was Miss Constance Cline of Washington, D. C. During the first semester our advisor was Mrs. Anne S. Drew; the second semester, Mrs. Mary Alston Hopkins, assisted by Mr. C. Harold Piose. This year was a successful and happy one. We sailed into our second year being called the Mighty Sophomores, because of our outstand- ing ability in many activities. We started the year off with a bang in a competitive talent program against the Freshman Class. Of course we came out on top. We then took part in a program called Illumination Night v hich was a competitive fete involving all the classes. Although we did not win the contest, we were highly recognized for our dress and stage deportment. Another spectacle which highly helped to build up our nam.e was that a group of us were asked to sing at various inter- vals on various programs. An outstanding one was at the dedication of the Julia B. Duncan Little Theatre. A newcomer to our class was Miss Ruth Gray, from Winston-Salem, N. C. We became very proud of her when she outshone any of the other classes and acclaimed the title of Miss Livingstone. These among many other outstanding accomlishments such as contributions to Founder ' s Day, Community Chest, and other drives enabled us to maintain the high standard of being called the Mighty Sophomores. The old ship was just mid-way the ocean. To our regret we had lost many members of the crew since the beginning of our voyage; only sixty-one had remained. But then Sara Lindsay, Pearl Brown, Sarah Bloomfield, James Couch, and Janie Brown joined us. On November 18th, we saw Doris Massey, an active member of the crew, crowned Miss Homecoming with Helena Anderson as her attendant. Not long afterward, we regretted to see Claire Diggs leave us, but we rejoiced to see her happily mar- ried to David Clark on January 27th. On Founder ' s Day, we were full of joy, for once again the class was in the lead for class con- tributions to this worthy cause. That joy was not to last long, however, for soon plans were made for some male members of the crew; William Meachum and Young Boulware had to leave us to aid our country. All thoughts turned to the final events of the year — the Junior-Senior Prom, which turned out a booming success. Finally we saw land, there was only a short way to go, our voyage was slowly coming to an end! With only 56 members of the crew left, we are struggling trying to reach the harbor. Those of us v ho showed promise of being stars have fulfilled that promise and now we shine brightly. There is an atmosphere of gayety that even the thought of study cannot dispel. Many have v on fame this year in various activities such as football, basketball, and choral union. Our ship has been at sea for four long years and we are anchoring on the harbor of success. We He ' T. J, Just fifteen years ago ia the y snip the Ora .- silently hois i its sails so that the wind, hastily filling its angry bi ' swiiuy jt to sea. Now fifteen ars later we have reached our destination. At dawn tnere e ' ame m the crow ' s nest the jubilant cry of land ho, and we saw as it broke through the distance, our fond ' dream — our Shangri-la. Along with the customary brass band ther ; awaiting at the dock. Doctor Joseph Cauthen with his two nurses, Helen Alexander and Teresa I iley, because of the unexpected arrival of quintuplets to Doctor and Mrs. William Moore, formerly ' .iss Dolores Scott. Other members of the welcoming throng are Mr. Solomon Seay, the head of the political syndi- cate; the mayor, Mr. Belvie Jackson, and Willie Massey, head of the Institute of Technical Sociological Research. Mr. Ed Jackson graciously places at the disposal of the passengers a fleet of sleek, black, con- vertible limousines which carries us immediately to the ritzy Evansdale Plaza on the south side of Shangri-la. Miss Rosa Caddell, secretary to the proprietor Dr. Theodore Evans, greets us at the desk. On the way to our rooms we run into Doris Massey, who is a famous opera star, and Elsye Hatch her understudy. In the room next to us are Fannie Tharrington and Mary Crawford who are on leave from Oxford University. They are professors of mathematics at the university. At a luncheon, in coniunction with a meeting of the Board of Bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church, we see our old friend Parker Bailey who is the ambassador to Germany. Among the Bishops pres- ent are Wesley Bowden, James Ferree, John Mills, Arthur Walls and Edward Wilson. On a sightseeing tour we see many of our old classmates. At the Recreational Department we encounter Marion McLaurin and William Woods who are famous basketball stars and head of the Division of Recreation. At the Department of Education the roster consists of Carolyn Moore, head of the department; her assistants are Virginia Pharr and Martha Scotton. Carolyn is addressing a meeting of the Teacher ' s Association. Among the teachers present are Edna Miller, Ida Poston, Callie Alston, Ida Hann, Meta Rayc-, Emma Murphy, Eloise Bethea, Sarah Bloomfield, Elizabeth Shipman, and Josephine Rushing. We stop to see Helena Anderson and Beatrice Hunt who are in charge of the famous Clinical Research Laboratory. At the Bureau of Statistics and Accounting we talk with Ella Carrigan and Trumiler V imberley who are doing marvelous work in this field. Discussing a problem with them is Zelma Spaulding, the President of the Stenographer ' s Union. On our return to the Plaza we buy the Mademoiselle edited by Juanita Logan. Later this afternoon we attend a banquet given in honor of two returned missionaries, from Amer- ica, in the persons of Sarah Lindsay and Annie Jackson. At the banquet we see Corinne Mills, who is still trying to disprove Einstein ' s Theory of Relativity. Joseph Gore and Spurgeon Oglesby, two famous industrialists of Shangri-la, sponsor the danquet. We find out from Gore that Ruby Harris and Lewis Pitts are working in their research laboratory. Sharing the table with us are Beulah Wall, who has a primary school for geniuses; Thomas Hous- ton who has just edited a book titled The Use of the Word Ain ' t, and Glenna Gaines who has just discovered a synthetic man. Across the room we see Ella Dalton and Norman Stroud with their heads together, conversing. They are writing a book, Why I couldn ' t To When I Couldn ' t To Could. As we leave the Plaza we bump into James Walker, Pearl Brown and Sarah Spencer who are try- ing to get to their plane on time. They are on their way to a meeting of the United Nations Board of Education. Time, slowly waning its way into the beyond, finds us trudging again to our good ship the Oracle ; for our docking here was but momentary; we must now set sail again. We fondly bid adieu to Shan- gri-la and all ot its happy memories, as we sail again into the setting sun to destinies and parts un- known.

Great educators and teachers almost all leave some work of art for which they are remembered after death.

Beneath thy maples and thy oaks The zephyred breezes blow. Just as they will in years to come, No matter where we go. O ' Livingstone, my Livingstone ' When thou art old with age. Thou, too, shalt hold a noble place That ' s bright on mem ' ry ' s page. And in thy sky no cloxid shall be — Instead, thy sun shall beam. Prosperity shall live always Amid its golden gleam. O ' Livingstone, my Livingstone ' Thy students come and go, The moments fly, the years go by With all their weal and woe. Along with fleet and nimble feet Oh, hasten on thy way. And fling the light of wisdom out Across the wand ' rer ' s way. O ' Livingstone, my Livingstone ' Upon thy cavipus wide. In nu7nbers many students roam — Some from the other side; And still they love; we can but hope That they may e ' er be true To both thy name and colors too — The modest black and blue.
