class History September 8, 1953, a new city was formed within the state of Livingstone College with a population of one hundred forty-two citizens. The groundwork for this small but powerful city was started under the direction of Mayor Daniel Harriston and City Manager Miss Blance Jordan. A few of our citizens were able to hold their own with members of other cities in the state. Citizens Juanita Brock was attendant to Miss Livingstone, Violet Tillman was attendant to Miss Home- coming, Earl Clowney topped the dean ' s list for the year and Hilda Bryant re- ceived top honors in the Freshman Oratorical Contest. During our second year of construction many avenues were opened up under the leadership of Mayor Penny Bridges and City Manager Dr. Stanley Smith. We were busy on every foundation, but we took time out to salute citizens Peggy Mills attendant to Miss Livingstone, EInora Jones attendant to Miss Homecoming and Earl Clowney student of the month. This city really grew during the third year. There was a decrease in citizen- ship but certainly not in determination and confidence. The citizens turned out well at the polls, and Mrs. V. P. Yates was elected our new city manager with James Cobbs as mayor. What fun we had building this year! Citizens Victoria McAdoo was attendant to Miss Livingstone and Violet Tillman was again attendant to Miss Homecoming. The second half of the year brought about a change in our government and citizens Lucy Stewart moved in the mayor ' s seat. Citizens George Leake was now President of the Student Council and was elected student of the month. Earl Clowney was again chosen student of the month, Tate, Smith, Shinholster, Leake, and Bridges walked off with E.I.A.C. honors, Richard Newby ' s name went down in the city record book as being the best speaker in the Junior Oratorical Contest, our blue ribbon Float and production of Slabtown Conven- tion were the talk of the town and our Junior-Senior Prom was the finest the state has ever known. As our city approached the fourth year of its existence, the same officers were re-elected. Progress was halted to salute citizens Peggy Mills as Miss Homecoming, Vilma Leake as attendant, and Grace Boyd attendant to Miss Living- stone. Citizens Newby and Beidleman well represented us as Student Council President and Vice-President, Clowney topped the dean ' s list again and was chosen Omega scholar of the year, Frances Payseur was elected state president of the F.T.A., and Boyd, Robinson, Butler, Bracy, and Green laid many floors in the sport ' s building. . , • City established — Construction completed — Citizenry molded — in the state of the old Black and Blue.
