DEDICATION OF THE 1975-76 LIVINGSTONIAN Mrs. Judith M. Settle The 1976 Livingstonian is dedicated to Mrs. Judith M. Settle for her commitment to and her involvement in the total life of students. Mrs. Settle, a native of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, attended Winston-Salem State University where she received the Bachelor of Science Degree, and the Masters of Education with a major in Counseling and Guidance from the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. Mrs. Settle’s professional career includes teaching positions in the Durham City Schools in Durham, North Carolina and the White Plains Public Schools of White Plains, New York. She came to Livingstone College in 1969 as Director of Goler Hall, a residence hall for women at that time. She has served since 1972 as Director of Housing at Livingstone College. Since coming to Livingstone, she has served as advisor for the Goler Hall House Council, the Young Women’s Missionary Society, and the Inter-residence Assembly. Committee Memberships have included the Student Life Committee, the Teacher Education Committee, the Student Services Director’s Council and the Admin- istrative Council. Also, the Livingstone College Parents Association was organized under her leadership. Mrs. Settle is married to Dr. Joseph C. Settle, Director of Student Services of Livingstone College. They have one daughter, Joy Evangline. And Mrs. Settle is a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Mrs. Settle has initiated and participated in numerous campus programs and activities and often travels with students in support of the teams and other student groups. Through her guidance and encouragement, opportunities for leadership roles and expressions of talents are always present. The establishing of learning centers within each residence hall for the purpose of study, counseling, tutoring, and interest-groups activities is an example of her commitment and involvement in developing the total person and contributing positively to campus life at Livingstone. It is because of her generosity and kindness in going beyond the call of duty to help Livingstone College in general and the student body in particular that we dedicate our 1975-1976 yearbook to her. 1 One of Livingstone ' s Many Queens 5

Building Our Dreams On A Stone Foundation Converging upon this hallowed place For close to a century of autumn opening days And springtime commencement convoca- tions We have come from various states with- in our land And from distant spots throughout the world. The maples have grown taller to spread a broader, welcoming shade. The steadfast oaks have sent their roots even deeper into the rugged soil. Their presence has reflected strength and represented Wisdom with each new homecoming and with each new Founder’s Day. This place of learning is to us a Living Stone and a firm foundation. It has nurtured many who have come and gone before us. Great men and women have trod these familiar paths. We now walk upon them with hopeful but unsteady steps. The way seems brighter as we discover truths within these heritage filled walls, For staunch pioneers have paved the way with their unyielding struggles and with their fervent prayers. We walk upon this memorable spot, and we learn myriad facts about its Greatness. We are aware of the legacies bequeathed by those who Passed this way. Ours is a stone foundation because our fathers made it so with their labor And with their dedication. Our teachers have been great, and they have moved across the stage of time And left our Precious Stone enriched by their mementoes and their contributions. The sands from our Majestic Stone have not drifted aimlessly, but through the Eventful years, they have moved with sure direction into places of high calling In the fields of human endeaver. And each grain has contributed its peculiar Message to the overall sermon of the Eternal Stone. Every day we hear echoes of their greatness as they come to us upon the wings and waves of media. New grains continue to gather upon this Mighty Stone to make for- ever stronger. O great and wonderful Stone, the strength of our lives: May God’s blessings ever Be upon you and upon those who seek knowledge at your altar. Strong Stone, Stand forever! Many scholars and many late bloomers are yet to come who will build their dreams on your stone foundation. by Mattie Temple Tatum Lakin
