Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1975 volume:

O! Livingstone, My Livingstone! Thy dear old name we sing, While memories cluster thick and fast, And closer to us cling. Beneath they maples and ihy oaks The zephyred breezes blow, Jusl as they will in years to come, No matter where we go. O! Livingstone, My Livingstone! When thou art old with age, Thou, too, shah hold a noble place Thai ' s bright on mem ' ry ' s page, And in the sky no cloud shall be — Instead, they sun shall beam, Prosperity shall live always Amid its golden gleam. 0! 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 they way, And fling the light of wisdom out Across the Wand ' rer ' s way O! Livingstone, My Livingstone! Upon they campus wide, In numbers 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 they names and colors too — The modest black and blue. my Fonvielle- Richardson BLUE BEARS FOREWARD 3 MISS LIVINGSTONE COLLEGE 4 5 STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION 6-10 WHO ' S WH0 11 MISS FOOTBALL 12 We welcome you to enter into our world of Moving Along In The Right Direction. HOMECOMING PARADE 14 Miss Livingstone College (Denise Hlackwell) Escorted by President of Student Government Association ( Vergel L. Lattimore, III) Historical And Descriptive Livingstone College is located in Salisbury, the county seat of Rowan County, North Carolina. This institution is regularly chartered by the Slate of North Carolina. Incorporated in 1879, its first sessions were held in 1880 in one room of the parsonage of the late Bishop C.R. Harris, who was then a minister in Con- cord, North Carolina. The idea of instituting an educa- tional enterprise for the training of Negro youth was the result of a conference of Negro ministers who wished to promote a type of education which would make for self-reliance in their race. They believed that Negroes as a race should do something on their own initiative to supplement the generous benevolences of white friends, and they were confident that such an en- terprise could be made to succeed with the coopera- tion of loyal and Christian Negroes guided by uns- werving faith in themselves and in their God. Organization was more definitely completed two years later and the institution moved to Salisbury, where work began the first Wednesday in October, 1882. The new site consisted of one building and 40 acres of land. The school opened with three teachers, three pupils, and a matron. It was named in honor of David Livingstone, the great Christian missionary, philanthropist, and explorer. Such was the beginning of Livingstone College. Chartered as a college in 1885, the institution has grown until now its students come from many States in the Lnited States, and from Canada, Central America, the West Indies, South America, and Africa. Its physical plant has been increased to twenty-one large brick buildings and 272 acres of land with a total valuation in excess of $4,000,000. The college is largely supported by the A.M.E. Zion Church, but its academic operations are entirely non- sectarian. To a greater degree possible than any other institution in the South, it represents the idea of Negro self-help in education.

The staff of the Livingstonian is Moving Along in the Right Direction. Time changes many things and later the meaning changes along with time. The staff has tried to cap- ture some of the moments that have been instrumental in building the memories of the past year at Livingstone. To each of you these memories will have a different meaning, but basically the meaning will be one that will live forever in the hearts of true Livingstonians. Here is your Livingstonian. May it bring you as much happiness and inspiration as it has brought those who have worked so industriously to present it to you. The Livingstonian Staff Qjesu From the windy city of Chicago, Illinois is attractive Denise Blackwell, the reigning Miss Livingstone College.

O BOX 59 SALISBURY. NORTH CAROLINA 28144 VERGEL L. LATTI MORE, III PRESIDENT TRESSIA BLOUNT VICE-PRESIDENT During ihis very challenging and ex- citing school year, the students, staff, faculty, and administration have of- fered concerted efforts to make Living- stone College a more viable institution of total education. To portray manisfestations of our ac- tions, the Livingstonian has vividly and descriptively illustrated the life at Liv- ingstone 1974-75 — Moving on in the Right Direction This year we set out to foster greater student participation in school activi- ties; to facilitate more inter-organiza- tional support; to stimulate increased faculty and student interaction and sup- port; to develop and implement proj- ects and proposals to ensure students ' academic, social, physical, and spiritual development; to advocate for a signifi- can increase of student participation in instutitional planning and program- ming; to minimize student apathy resulting from insensitive institutional administrators and unfavorable cir- cumstances; and to maximize student cooperation and leardership. EHKBA Y. K EATON MIC. aiCRITAMV MICHAEL GRIER TREASURER Many of our goals have materialized; some partically implemented; others frozen; and a few completely deferred. Most of all, 1974-75 has cast Living- stone in a refreshing new direction. The philisophical words of Seneca provides an apporpriate charac- terization: He who would arrive at the appointed and must follow a single road and not wonder through many ways. Thus, our thoughts are sincere and our actions are earnest as we have thrust ourselves in the right direction. In following the right direction, we are all in heart, one Livingstone. For the Heart that is for life is a celebration of bearity a festival of the spirit. Vergel L.

My first impression was to transfer, but I was told, Livingstone will grow on you, and that is exactly what happened. I do not regret staying here, for I found someone which will always be very important to me. That someone is God. However, if I had not found Him, I would not be here. And now as I get ready to leave, I look back and think about, How I Got Over . It was because I found something to help me get over. As I leave, I will not only take my four years of education, hut I will take God with me; knowing I will not fail no matter what state this world is in. For those of you I leave here, I would like for you to open your hearts and let Jesus come in because you cannot make it without Him. As for my fellow class- males, I say Take Jesus with you as you prepare yourselves for the long road ahead. To my instructors, dorm directors, and people who look an active inter- est in me, I say, Thank You! May God forever exist strongly on this college campus.

The program is divided into two phases — Phase I and Phase II. Phase I consists of survival orientation which is implemented during orientation week. In this phase, counselors assist the students in making the ini- tial college adjustment. This is done through small group sessions in which the counselors discuss rules and regulations, dormitory life, peer acceptance problems, etc. Counselors also serve as assistant academic advisors and assist with pre-registration. Other survival orientation activities consist of (1) a campus tour, (2) tour of Hood Seminary, (3) tour of Heritage Hall, and (4) a library orientation session. Phase II of the program con- sists of (1) a How to Study Course taught in small groups of 15 on Tuesday nights; (2) cultural enrichment ac- tivities; and, (3) informal self-awareness group sessions. Each counselor has from fifteen to eighteen counselees and a faculty or staff advisor to supervise the in- formal group activities. Three tests are used for diagnostic, counseling, and instructional purposes. An Effec- tive Study Test is used during orientation week to identify study problems and potential drop-outs. Groups were composed according to tests scores, age and sex. Using this method, 22 groups were established. Closing session — Counselors receiving training cer- tificates for completion of course.

Wayne Clapp. History of The Prayer Meeting Choir The Livingstone College Prayer Meeting Choir was organized in 1960 by The Reverend George Maize, who is presently in one of the Zion churches. Originally the group was called the Maize singers. Rev. Maize, then a student at Livingstone College, felt that a choir would add to the spirit of the weekly Wednesday night Prayer Service, and also would add to the tone of the college. The choir was made up of Christian young students who loved to sing and who dedicated their lives to God. Rev. Maize was the first director. In 1961, the Maize Singers became the Prayer Meeting choir. Under the direction and inspiration of Rev. Maize, the choir grew in popularity and size. Requests for the services of the choir poured in from the Churches in the vicinity of the college. The Choir presently has numerous members. It is an integral part of the religious life of the college. Some members of the choir are also members of the Choral Union, The Concert Choir, The College Band and other musical choirs and organizations of the campus. 184 Bishop Stephen Gill Spottswood, retired bish- op of the A.M.E. Zion Church, chairman of the board of the N.A.A.C.P. for thirteen years, and trustee of Livingstone College, left a mullitude of bereaving friends when he died on December 1, 1974. For fifty-nine years he had demonstrated his Christian commitment first as pastor and subsequently as a prelate. For fifty-five years he was relentless in his demands for civil rights as the heritage of black people. As trustee of our college, he served faithfull and progressively for many years. Methodical, compassionate, and generous, Bishop Spottswood had a dedication to overcome each baffling situation with dignity, energy, and sincerity. His love for his immediate family was always evident; yet, included in his larger family were numerous friends with whom he shared a deep devotion. Probably the last sermon Bishop Spottswood preached on our campus was given during the 1970 Christian Education and Youth Convention. With Bibical references, classical and current allusion, personal experiences, and penetrating eloquence he made his subject, The Impossible Dream, (the Christian way of life) emerge into a possible and rewarding accomplishment. A part of his closing quotation from the memorable song was for his a prophetic testimony: ' ' To fight for the right without question or pause, To be willing to march into Hell for a Heaven- ly cause! And I know if I ' ll only be true to this glorious quest. That my heart will be peaceful and calm, When I ' m laid to my rest, And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars, till strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star. ' ' Abna A. Lancaster Bishop W.J. Walls , Sadness swept Zion and Livingstone when Bishop W.J. Walls passed on April 23, 1975, after a brief illness. Living- stonians were bereaved, for they knew that he had long loved his alma mater with a fervency that compelled him to guide, to give, and to glorify. Sixty seven years he was an ardent alumnus; fifty years, a bishop; thirty-three years, Chairman of our Board of Trustees; and in each of these, Livingstone was a rare jewel of his thoughts and often the set- ting of his dreams. Always he stimulated hearers to accept present challenges for future exultations. Abna A. Lancaster Bishop Stephen G. Spottswood Tur Dr. E, Franklin Jackson distinguished A.M.E. Zion minister, Civil Rights advocate, Interracial and Inter-Denominational lead- er, youth counselor, world traveler, fra- ternal worker, and humanitarian had as his motto Anthing less than my best is a sin. With this motivation, Dr. Jackson made life better through his participation in nu- merous activites. A dynamic preacher, Dr. Jackson sup- ported his sermons by his missions of mercy, his purposeful projects, and his Christian creativity. Livingstone College reveres his memory and accepts his motto as a challenge. The motto of David Livingstone was in these words, I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose. By unfaltering per- sistence and faith in Cod both men made conquests and conquered. Abna A. Lancaster Dr. E. Franklin Jackson 11 1 A TRIBUTE TO A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER THAT NOW GRACES GOD ' S HEAVEN SHERRY JACKSON Upon .his earth there are flowers and flower gardens. In every garden there is always a flower that is a bit more special and lovely. This lovely flower in our earthly garden was Sherry Jackson. She endured pain, but I never once heard a complaint or sad word from her. Always a smile that could brighten the saddest heart Sherry was always courteous, polite, cheerful and smiling even when she was in pain Sherry was indeed rare and beautiful. She was determined to get an education and stayed in Livingstone College ■n Sahsbury when perhaps she would have been resting she would not use her illness as a crutch She didn t want to be a burden or worry to her family and friends. The world around Sherry was beautiful to behold. I can just picture her as one of God ' s beautiful Angels to now adorn his heavenly garden. So our precious flower, rest, free of pain, and look for us to join you someday, if we are so fortu. nale, in heaven in God s garden. Sherry Jackson Freddie Williams Freddie Williams, a freshman student at Livingstone College, died en route to Salisbury. Freddie Williams, the son of Mrs. Matlie Mae Williams, was born in Greensboro, Georgia, in June, 1956. He graduated from Green County High School, Greensboro, Ceorgia, and attended Livingstone College one semester. He was to major in Physical Education, and was a quarterback for the Livingstone College football team. Freddie, a very mild-mannered person who liked and got along with most people, was very well liked by his high school and college classmates. He shall be remembered for his strong determination to complete his college education. COMPLIMENTS OF FROM A FRIEND No this can ' t be true!
