Livingstone College - Livingstonian Yearbook (Salisbury, NC)

Silence. For a brief moment there existed throughout the campus of Livingstone College — silence. Like a restless, mute spirit, it moved across the campus, into the hallways and classrooms, yearning for the sounds of campus life. It was not satisfied with the occasional conversations of those working in their ad- ministrative offices. Neither was it contented with the repairmen ' s hammering of nails and swishing of paint brushes. This spirit longed for the laughter of young voices, the blaring of stereo speakers in windows, the thunder of musical instruments in concert, the ringing of harmonious voices from choir practices, the scream- ing and yelling, cussin ' and fussin ' , and cheering and whispers, the total sounds of campus life! Slowly voices emerged from the buildings along the campus, as each member of the faculty, administra- tion, and staff returned, a little reluctantly from their short vacations. Like the spirit, they, too, waited, looking forward for the arrival of the new freshmen, Class of 1980!
