A stopping point, a crossroad on this journey; Km barked only by a few. We You and I meet here, at this present time At this particular point. Livingstone. In the silence of its walls The Spirit of the ' Stone stirs restlessly crying emphatically for our entrance, our arrival, our return. With the assurance of knowing I am not alone, in believing I have a friend, I shall continue my journey, aspiring to become More of a man, More of a woman, More of a Human. I will seek out new knowledge, store away facts and concepts for the daily applications in life. On this journey through life, I will struggle to learn all that is worth knowing, so that I may understand my brother, and soften the pains and ills of the world. I will continuously strive for achievement in everything I do, and continue to set new goals, dream dreams, accomplishing the objectives I have made in life. 12 In this life there will be many times when I will grow weary, troubled, sad, and tears shall sting my eyes. Then 1 shall rest and find comfort in the Creator. I will stop and enjoy the beauty of living. I will laugh, cry a little, and laugh some more. I will relax and discover the beauty in me. I shall pause, stop, and listen to what others have to say. I will remember and reminisce of the good as well as bad times at that Old ' Stone. Life. A privilege given to you and to me. An irretraceable pilgrimage, one chance to grow, and become who we truly want to be; shaping our destinies, developing our total beings, and being sincerely grateful to God for giving to us the years, days, hours, and moments. In showing our gratitude, we must assume responsibility for each other, thus, we are journeymen together. I shall live each moment of life to its fullness, accepting the joys and heartaches, fortunes and misfortunes, understanding that they are all a part of this journey called life. I will give all that I can give, and then, just a little more, for I shall never pass this way again. Table Of Contents Table Of Contents Dr. F.

Standing at the crossroads of life, uncertain of the path I should take, hesitant in deciding what course of action to make, but moving on, moving on. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;. . Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost % Togetherness! A spirit of unity, participation, and cooperation existing among a particular group of people. The harmonious union or joining of others in a social, educational, business, spiritual or any other activity, especially such activity regarded as being beneficial to the participants. A combination of attitudes, personalities, talents, abilities, and efforts as a group strives for a certain goal. Communicating and enjoying the presence of others even though you may differ in character, race, nationality, religion, culture, or values. A special involvement with others which often leads to friendship, caring, compassion, a sense of brotherliness, and love. It is essential for our survival to become involved with each other. We must develop positive relationships and there should be a willingness to put forth extra efforts to enhance and strengthen contacts with others. We must possess the abilities to show love, honesty, and understanding as we work and relax together. Time oasses quickly There is nothing we can do about it except to see that as far as possible, it passes fruitfully. If in oassmJTt Fays upTts s ore of good deeds done, noble ambitions clung to heroically, and kindness and sympathy scattered with a lavish hand, there will be given to it a permanence and enduring quality that nothing can take away . . . the s happ o 4 , • . . .. . ■ „ f „„„„„ ,,, Take time to think— it is the source of power.

Whatever strikes your fancy, whatever you are in the mood to do, and whatever you enjoy. There is a vast range of events and activities to enhance your college career and social life on the campus of Livingstone College and in the surrounding community. However, these happenings will not walk up and come to you. It must be you getting involved and finding out what is going on around you.

Events Homecoming 1977!!! Brass Construction It took the fantastic vocal and instrumental sounds of Wade, Randy, Larry, Wayne, Joe, Sandy, Michael, Morris and Jess of Brass Construction and the fabulous Vandales to get the ' Stone, that Old Rock , movin ' and moving we did to Fiber Industries, on Thursday evening, September 29th, for the Homecoming Concert and Dance. We hustled, freaked, and jumped to the popular hits of Brass Construction including Movin ' , Changin ' , Ha Cha Cha , Sambo , Peekin ' , and Love . Events The Coronation Darkness swept over New Trent Gymnasium on a warm Friday evening and the audience stirred restlessly wondering what the light would bring. A storyteller came before us, and out of the darkness came characters recreating the tale he told. We travelled with them into the future, thousands and thousands of years ahead in time and in space. It was Space, Unbounded , and from the farthest corners of galaxies and stars came queens and their escorts, dressed in strange, glittering clothing. As the tale unfolded before our eyes, we discovered this assembling of queens from various parts of the universe had a purpose. We were in search of a queen who would rule the universe. Many lovely ladies came, but none were beautiful enough, none were gentle and kind, or lovely enough to suit the Council who had called this eventful gathering. 86 Miss Livingstone College Events Alas, the members of the Council were about to give up, when suddenly out of the stars and darkness came a spacecraft, sparkling and floating slowly before us. As the door of the space capsule opened, the council, the queens, their escorts, and the audience smiled. They had found their queen, Alice Eugenia Hoskins, Miss Livingstone College of 1977-78. Miss Hoskins was escorted by Marcus Wilson, president of the Student Government Association and Dr. F. George Shipman was there in space to crown her. After a warm speech of gratitude and love for the Livingstone College family, Alice took her place on a glowing crescent moon, and queens, escorts, stars, and planets surrounded her. — Events The ceremony continued by saluting Miss Livingstone College with songs and dancing. Wallace Jenkins soloed You Are My Starship , the North Carolina Central University ' s Creative Dance Group performed for the reigning queen, and Berneice Jones sung the popular hit Age Of Aquarius . Over forty queens participated in this annual event, and queens from surrounding colleges attended as Miss Livingstone ' s special guests. They included Miss A T State University, Miss Shaw University, and Miss St. Paul ' s College. The coronation ended with the Floaters hit single Float On , and it was certainly a beautiful, out-of-this-world success! 88 Homecoming Parade Events Events The Startime Revue The Startime Revue, an annual talent show, sponsored by the Student Government Association and members of the Music Department, was one of the most successful musical extravaganzas ever presented on Livingstone College ' s campus! Although many students were disappointed with the outcome of the Homecoming Football Game, the campus got back into the groove , and on October 1st, Saturday night, the peak of Homecoming was reached with the fantastic performances of the Startime Revue Band, Pat Cohen, Sweet Honesty, Mike McLean, Rod Vaughn, Ben Froneberge, The Daryl Waters ' Stars, Al McCray, Five Steps Beyond The Sky, and many others. Popular tunes sung by many of the country ' s famous groups and singers were recreated by talented students, and the crowd freaked, jammed and got off with Brick House (Five Steps Beyond The Sky), Easy (Startime Revue Band), Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (Daryl Waters ' Stars), The Greatest Love Of All (Arnetta Atkins), Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me (Jackie Kendall), Hold Tight (Pat Cohen), Don ' t Ask My Neighbor (Sweet Honesty), Lean On Me (Berneice Jones) and so much more!

This successful endeavor was designed to bring children of the surrounding areas together in a wholesome, safe, and enjoyable atmosphere as they celebrated the bewitching hours of Hallowee n. To amuse and entertain the youngsters, the gymnasium was decorated in the traditional, holiday festive with colorful witches, scary black cats, funny ghosts and globbins, bright jack-o-lanterns, and as a special attraction, a very effective, haunted house was built with the coffin, skeletons, and lighting and sound effects. Also, numerous games and activities were created by various members of the different organizations. These included Bobbing For Apples , Palm Reading , Indoor Relays , Pin The Nose On The Witch , Fish For A Prize , Fortune Telling , and Who Can Hit The Witch . Cartoons and children ' s movies were provided, and there was plenty of apples, oranges, candy, cookies, and punch to enjoy while having fun. In this pleasant confusion, each child had an opportunity to thoroughly enjoy himself, and one is sure they did. When the party was over, and each child was safely on his way home, there was contentment and self-satisfaction in the hearts of each person who participated in the event for a job well done. Every kid , young and old, definitely enjoyed the fun.

Hood Theological Seminary Miss Hood Theological Seminary Mrs. Wanetta H. Belle Hood Theological Seminary Reflecting back over the past year, Hood Theological Seminary has sponsored numerous programs and activities designed to enhance the spiritual development and social atmosphere of each student. The year started successfully with Hood ' s annual, formal opening, the Hooding of new students and faculty members. This traditional, solemn ceremony gave new members of the Hood family the opportunity to meet and fellowship with those continuing at Hood; the administration, faculty, staff, and upperclassmen. A worship service was held during this occasion and later the officers of Hood Theological Seminary Union were installed. Guest speakers for the Fall Convocation were Reverend James Cone, a professor at Union Seminary in New York, and Reverend Cecil Bishop, a pastor ministering in Washington, D.C. Other programs and events held during the year were the United Negro College Fund Drive and the Miss Hood Theological Seminary Contest. These programs were sponsored to raise funds for Hood Theological Seminary and the United Negro College Fund. Members of the Student Union received a citation for their contributions to these worthwhile efforts. Social activities and recreational events during the year included a Thanksgiving Dinner, a Christmas Party, banquets, and intramural basketball and Softball games. These events were executed successfully, bringing the Hood family together on various occasions. FACES 124 Livingstone College has an enrollment of less than 1,000 students, and because it is open to all men and women regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin, the total student body consists of students coming from the majority of states in the United States and various countries around the world. The college community is a small, compact environment, and encountering with the same individuals everyday is a pleasant experience. During one ' s stay at Livingstone College faces shall become friendly associates, and many of you shall establish friendships which will last long after your college career. hL IT.

For thousands of Livingstonians go with you as you press on towards that mark. Failure is foreign to your senses for you have inherited a legacy of persistence and success. You each possess a key of tomorrow, lose it — and your being will ever be tormented; use it — and you will follow in the great succession of those gone before. In doing so, you shall be an inspiration to those yet behind you — leaving your footprints in the sands of time! Strive to be Great! Dennis Proctor Class Of 1976 SENIORS 168 When you ' re through learning, you ' re through. Vernon Law If you feel that you have both feet planted on level ground, then the university has failed you. Robert Coheen A young man who had just received his degree from college rushed out and exclaimed, Here I am, World — I have my A.B.! The World replied, Sit down, son, and I ' ll teach you the rest of the Alphabet. On Tuesday, May 23, 1978 in Varick Auditorium, the Class of 1978 became alumni of the Livingstone College. Listening to Dr. Thaddeus Garrett, commencement speaker, accepting our various degrees, and singing the Alma Mater, My Livingstone , there is overwhelming joy and sadness in our hearts as we touch the certificate of a degree in our hands. We retrospect over the past four (or five) years at Livingstone College, and deliberate what we are to do in our future. We came to Livingstone with an array of unique personalities, various objectives, attitudes, and ambitions toward life, many talents, abilities, and expertise, and in a large quantity. We were a rowdy group of young people, enthusiastic, energetic, full of electricity, and ready to challenge and even change the course of our world, namely Livingstone College. Eager to excel in any field or area, our names continuously appeared on the Dean ' s list, in Who ' s Who Among Men And Women In American Colleges And Universities, and in Alpha Kappa Mu National Honor Society. We entered Startime Revues, fashion shows, essay contests, art exhibits, and consumed organizations like the dynamic Marching Band, Greek-letter sororities and fraternities, social 1 1 llllil II Park, and traveled to see the Broadway musical BUBBLIN ' BROWN SUGAR. We have served Livingstone College in the highest capacity we knew how, and hopefully this institution has done the same for us. We encountered many moments of frustration and anxiety, numerous trying situations, and being human, we showed signs of untogetherness; but we endured. Each of us will reminisce and remember people and moments particular to us as individuals — past victories in sports, a certain roommate, a difficult examination, an excellent professor, or a special look he or she gave to you or to me. We will recall Mrs. McDaniels at the Freshmen Picnic, Dr. Jim Abbott ' s sessions, being a cub in the Marching band, that exciting S.W.A.G. meeting, student teaching, and the wild party at Coland ' s and Glenn ' s apartment. What shall the future hold for us? What roads shall we pursue? Many of us will enter special professions and other fields of employment as competent men and women. Others will continue educating ourselves in medical schools, graduate schools, and research centers. Our journeys shall continue, and each of us shall move in the right direction, with a sense of togetherness and peace within ourselves. fellowships, and athletic teams. We became presidents and vice-presidents of clubs and the Student Government Association, and we edit newspapers and yearbooks. For four consecutive years we won the United Negro College Fund Award for the organization making the highest per capita contribution to the U.N.C.F. drive, and during our Freshman Year, we were recipients of the Lula Montgomery Award, given to the organization making the singular most outstanding contribution for the year. A spirited class, we entered lovely floats in every Homecoming Parade, we participated in the Wake-Up Festivities of Homecoming Week, and unfortunately in our Sophomore year, during the Wake-up morning activities, we were a little too zealous and boisterous, and that year marked the end of Wake-up activities. Being a diversified and yet together group of men and women, we organized the Freshmen Talent Show, sponsored a class trip to Atlanta, Georgia, took a mini-vacation trip to Carowinds Amusement Seniors Ronderal - Life can be a great success; it ' s simply what you make out of it!

Belonging in an organization or club on the campus provides one with the opportunity to become involved in a smaller community within the large environment of Livingstone College. One discovers he or she has certain common interests, attitudes, and goals with others when joining an organization, and in the process of making friends, participating in social, business, and community service activities, one indirectly learns how to communicate and work with people of many personalities, how to handle major responsibilities, how to budget his her time, and how to plan activities and functions which will pursue the organization ' s objectives and goals. Organizations Livingstone College ' s The instrumental, marching band program started at Livingstone College, under the direction of David Owens. The program began primarily for the purpose of providing instrumental teaching techniques for music majors. A natural outgrowth of such a program was a band ensemble, which made occasional appearances at college programs and at football games. Under the leadership of William Carlson, the first marching and concert bands were organized, and with the help of Dan Nicholas, owner and manager of Maynard Music Store, the band grew steadily and successfully. In 1966, James Evans joined the faculty and became the full-time instrumental band instructor and director. During his stay, the band was uniformed and increased in number. Evans remained with the marching band until 1972, and Waverly Camp, Jr. assumed the responsibility of providing leadership for the band. In October, 1972, Henry A. Duncombe, Jr., joined the Music Department of Livingstone College. An effective and enthusiastic organizer, and a perfectionist, Duncombe began an extensive recruiting program in the Fall of 1974, fielding a 132 piece, dynamic marching band. 3 Marching Band During the 1977-78 school year the Marching Bears performed in many concerts, during college and professional football games, and at special ceremonies. The highlight of the season was the spectacular performance of the Bears during Half-Time for the Washington Redskins - Green Bay Packers N.F.L. Football Game at Kennedy ' s Memorial Stadium.

It is the exertion of force and power — being aroused and steamed up enough to advance forward. In becoming an excellent athlete one would need this energy to perform to his or her best ability. Other qualities an athlete should possess are intelligence, strength, discipline, and will power or stamina. One might consider or include ability, but if a person has the basic qualities mentioned, ability and skills will usually develop. Participating in sports in one ' s college career has its advantages and drawbacks; one enjoys the excitement and thrill of victory, but there is always the loneliness and rejection one feels and experiences after defeat. But for every individual, sports is challenging, significant, hard work, dedication, and fun! Mil 5?

The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been before. Creativity in living is not without its attendant difficulties, for peculiarity breeds contempt. And the unfortunate thing about being ahead of your time is that when people finally realize you were right, they ' ll say it was obvious all along. You have two choices in life. You can dissolve into the mainstream or you can be distinct. To be distinct, you must be different. To be different, you must strive to be what no one else but you can be. George Tillman, Jr. Everything isn ' t always together. Life just isn ' t made that way. Sometimes I feel alone, lost, one solitary lifeboat adrifted in an angry sea. I feel I ' m trying to cope with uncopable situations. The pressures of uncertainty, confusion, and pain seem to overwhelm me. But I ' ll deal, I ' ll cope, I ' ll live.

Hiram Jennings Sometimes i feel the need to be by myself. Alone free to feel and think and he what i wish. Mimi 268 There are various kinds of love, all uniquely and essentially important, but. the love between a man and a woman is usually singled out as that special kind of love. Being in love is fun! It is being blissfully contented, feeling beautiful, strong, and secure. It is being silly, and writing poems and letters of romance. It is being intimately involved with another person, touching, giving, caring, and feeling. One becomes concerned about the welfare and happiness of another human being. In Memoriam Reverend Harlee H. Little The Reverend Hariee H. Little, Director of Development at Livingstone College and pastor of Kesler Chapel A. M. E.

Now that I have gone the last mile of the way, I will rest at the close of the day, And I know there are joys that await me, Now that I ' ve gone the last mile of the way. Acknowledgements And Special Thanks To edit and publish a yearbook, one needs a good staff to pave the way, a cooperative advisor who is patient and does not put a lot of restrains on you, a concerned and involved yearbook representative, and an excellent publishing company. Having all of these invaluable people, putting together 1978 LIVINGSTONIAN Yearbook was an extremely exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience! Special thanks must be extended to the four men of my yearbook-editing life, and they are Mr. Wilbert Sadler, advisor to the LIVINGSTONIAN Yearbook, Mr. Wayne Wolfe, yearbook representative from Herb Eaton, Incorporated, and Charles Davis and Hal Odom, who were the major photographers for the yearbook. These men were highly instrumental in the completion of the 1978 LIVINGSTONIAN, and their untiring energy, patience, talents, and enthusiasm must be complimented. I cannot forget the dedication and total involvement of several yearbook staff members and they include Carolyn Coffey, Wilbert DeShields, Mary Howard, Nathan King, Debra Kizer, George Lewis, Brenda Pace, Alan Richmond, and Curtis Walker. Of course I must thank the entire staff for their assistance, and the many individuals on the campus of Livingstone College who helped in any way they could and who offered words of. encouragement. I never told you enough, but I appreciated your time, patience, and efforts so very, very much! I love all of you! Barbara C. Mclver Editor Hal Odom Kojak Photographer Special Thanks to: Mr. Bobby Aldrich, Douglas 0. Jones, Mr. Garland Kelsey, Mrs. Carolyn Sadler, Gerald Shorter, Dr. F. George Shipman, Franklin Williamson of the Zoological Society of Philadelphia, CAMPUS LIFE Magazine, Lynette Northrup, Photographers and Staff of Herb Eaton, Incorporated, Walsworth Publishing Company. Charles Davis Photographer 277 The 1978 LIVINGSTONIAN Yearbook Staff This is IT! As the last page is signed, sealed, and delivered to Walsworth Publishing Company, I swipe the perspiration off my forehead and exclaim, Whew! This is IT! For a few moments, I felt nervous, panicky, and apprehensive. Had I left something out? Did I write too much of this and not enough of that? Maybe too many pages were set aside for that event? How will the student body react to the pictures I ' ve selected and words I ' ve used? What will the administration, faculty, and staff think? Did I really capture Livingstone College as it actually is? Will people be generally satisfied with this publication? For several days I considered starting all over again because by being an editor, it was my job to give the people what they wanted , but what did they want? Is it possible to please over 1,300 people all at the same time? At any rate, I had already mailed the pages to the publishing company, and knowing in the beginning I had only one shot to edit a good yearbook, there is consolation in knowing I took the time and gave it everything I had. Every effort and attempt was made to make this yearbook an interesting, memorable, and beautiful one. Unfortunately, in anything, mistakes are unavoidable, and as you read and look through this publication, you will find it has many limitations and many, many mistakes. But if this yearbook says and means something to you, if it brings a smile to your lips and laughter to your heart, then my most important objective was accomplished, and my efforts were not in vain. Barbara Barbee Mclver Editor The edition of the LIVINGSTONIAN has been designed to awaken in you, the Livingstone student, an awareness that today ' s student lives in his own realistic world. But the student is vastly affected by the individuals about him, whether intellectual or not. We have tried to capture a form of togetherness of our experiences at Livingstone College as a family. I, as an editor, hope this annual will mean more to y° u than just a few faded memories and hastily achieved facts; but shall instill in you, as a student, ideals of the highest nature to guide your life to its highest expectations.

Young, Randall Mack 2747 West North Avenue Baltimore, Maryland 21216 Karate Club, Concert Band, Marching Band, MENC, Orchestra f Do you know where you ' re going? Do you know what you want out of life? What shall your future hold for you? Are you uncertain of who and what you are? As you contemplate these and many other questions, remember, you are not alone. All of us are exploring pathways and crossroads, searching for that one right road to take. As you pursue this journey called life, take with you hope, courage, faith in yourself, and sustain the basic values of life to keep you moving on. Take, also, your abilities, talents, and skills, and do not forget your intelligence and common sense. One must not tie a ship to a single anchor, nor life to a single hope. Epictetus Where you stumble and fall, there you find the gold. Joseph Campbell Following the path of least resistance is what makes men and rivers crooked. Set a course of action, pursue it carefully, steadily, patiently, and with confidence. Strive to accomplish your goals and fulfill your dreams. With all of this failure is highly unlikely, and you will reach the top. Victory will finally be yours. If you should fail, dream another dream, seek out a new horizon, strive to reach another star! You are leaving this institution which has been your second home, and as you take one last look around there is something in your throat and you just can not figure out why it ' s there. There ' s a grin on your face but a tear in the corner of your eye, and you suddenly realize the final curtains have gone down, years have terminated into moments - precious moments, and it is time for your exit, your departure off stage. The certificate of your degree is in your hands, and you have accomplished one of the major goals in your life Keady to begin again? Are you ready to continue the journey? Well, what are you waiting for? The Class of 1978 is leaving, but we will still be here, we shall return, and we will come with dreams and ambitions, setting goals and making accomplishments in all fields of endeavor. With us will be new men and women with enthusiasm, vitality, talents, and unique personalities, and we will keep that Livingstone spirit of togetherness alive! We will be pulling not apart, but together — studying, working, and relaxing, — brothers and sisters, together! Broth erhooA My Livingstone - Alma Mater 0! Livingstone, my Livingstone! Thy dear old name we sing, While memories cluster thick and fast, And closer to us cling. Beneath thy maples and thy oaks The zephyred breezes blow, Just as they will in years to come, No matter where we go. 0! 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 the sky not cloud shall be — Instead, thy sun shall beam. Prosperity shall live always amid its golden gleam. Fonvielle-Richardson 0! Livingstone, my Livingstone! Thy students come and go, The moments fly, the years go by With all their zeal 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. 0!Livingstone, my Livingstone! Upon thy 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 thy names and colors too — The modest black and blue.
