Many have realized that it is not too late to set goals for themselves and to work toward them. The 1978-79 LIVINGSTONIAN Yearbook Staff would like to challenge each student to wake-up, because a new day is coming. We now present to you the 1978-79 LIVINGSTONIAN, ' The Coming of the Morn ' , our Pre-Centennial Edition. The Coming of the Morn There, In the darkness so rested In the deepness of my soul, The depths of my spirit, There, In the quietness untouched In a world unaware In stillness unmoved Broke a multi-hue, Of orange, red and gold, Turning the midnight black, Into a peaceful morning blue. There, I witnessed the greatest miracle, That the world hardly knows, As the night dimly fades The glorious morning flows Thailia Griffin THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE As the sun rises to denote The Coming of Morning and the beginning of a new day, the Senior Class will soon begin its expedition outside of the Livingstone College walls. Like The Coming of Morning , the Senior Class is coming into its own, and yet it will soon be involved in a new adventure. For some of you the journey will lead to further academic excellence; while others will join the world of work. As you go forth, it is hoped that you will view each day as The Coming of Morning , and take advantage of the opportunity to scale new hurdles, solve new problems, and win new battles. It is my pleasure to offer commendations and congratulations to the Yearbook Staff with reference to this excellent publication. You have recorded on these pages for posterity some of the highlights of yo ur challenges and many exam- ples of your successes. Moreover, the publication creatively portrays your progress and development from freshmen to seniors. The yearbook is truly an exposition of the theme, The Coming of Morning . Livingstone College is celebrating its Pre-Centennial year, and you are part of that celebration and the institution ' s history. It is my hope that Livingstone has contributed to your maturing mentally, emotionally and socially to the ex- tent that you are now strong enough to persist in what is right; smart enough to know that at times one may be wrong; creative enough to be adventuresome and innovative; persistent enough to endure even when failure confronts you; determined enough to try again and ultimately make the journey of life a productive one; and remember that no matter how dark the night, you should believe in The Coming of Morning .

Like all teams you do have problems, but the sign of a good team is being able to overcome them and play some sound football. Due to hard work and dedication the football team stayed in the thick of the Conference race all year. With the personnel that we have coming back and the new additions, we should be in the thick of things again in 1979-80. Coach Andrew Littlejohn Football Scores L.C. L.C.

Lenora averages 17 pts. per game and 19 rebounds per game. Also, returning is Robin Barnhill, a 6 ' 1 center with her devastating hook. Robin should make all CIAA with no problem.

Honorary Degrees were given to Reverend Warren Matthew Brown, Reverend Horace Calvin Walser and Reverend George W. Walker. As always, this was a day to remember. Religious Life The state of contemporary religion upon the campus of Livingstone College encompasses the spirituality the Founding Fathers contemplated for the college a century ago. Each person is free to worship God as the Holy Spirit moves him to give a personal witness in this pre- sent age. The Week of Prayer was held on the campus from Sunday, January 21 through Friday, January 26, 1979. The theme employed was Christian Witness in the Pre- sent Age . The three ministers who served as evangelists for the Week of Prayer have through the years served their Church and community with distinction. They were Dr. Tecumseh X. Graham of Cincinnati, Ohio; Rev. Arthaniel Harris of Kinston, North Carolina and Rev. William J. Neal of Union, South Carolina. Each in his own way has witnessed to the power of Christ in transforming the kingdoms of this world into the Kingdoms of our Lord. Out of their rich backgrounds of service they shared messages which enabled the Livingstone College family better personally to give a Christian Witness in the Present age. 125 The Wednesday night Prayer Meetings are well attended. Under the direction of members of the Pre-Theological Union the spiritual health of the campus is nurtured by messages which they deliver at these Wednesday night Prayer Meetings. Each member of the group prepare well constructed sermons for this service. The Prayer Meeting Choir under the direction of Mr. Jimmy Thomas, furnishes music for the worship service. Rev. Willie L. Aldrich serves as the Ad- visor to this group of singers. Fervent testimonies are shared by the students who strengthen each other through their witness of the Power of God in their lives. 44 lft_iJJJHI 126 Vesper Services for the first semester closed with the presentation of How Far is Bethlehem? by the Livingstone Choral Union under the direction of K.

The early contact with ritual and off-beat rhythm found in the music and dance of the Indians made a profound impression upon her and entered later into her style of dance. After spending some time in Buffalo, New York and Canada, and being influenced by the openness and poetic lyricism of the out- doors. The circus, fortune tellers, and sideshow performers became her ambiance and for her, the bizarre and the unique became the usual. Miss Stephen studied with the greats in Modern Dance. Under a five-year scholarship, she studied with Jose Limon, became a member of his company and was praised by him as an arresting and highly individual young dancer . Miss Stephen went on to study with Martha Graham, Rudolf Laban in England, and Mary Wigman in Germany before forming her own company in 1969. The EDITH STEPHEN DANCE COM- PANY has since made its fame and reputa- tion both in the United States and in Europe. Her company has danced recently at the Budapest Opera House, the Piccolo Theatro di Milano and on Brussels and Danish television. Her troupe is sponsored by the National Endowment Dance Program. She has been awarded the Gut- man Award for dance, and has appeared nationally on radio and television talk shows. Loretta Long One of the most versatile in- dividuals on the contemporary educational scene is Loretta Long. She is . . . singer, actress, television personality, teacher and educator. Loretta Long has appeared as one of the human hosts on the award winning Children ' s Television Workshop program Sesame Street since the show began. While appearing on Sesame Street, Loretta Long received her doctorate in education from the University of Mass- achusetts in 1973. As an educator Loretta Long believes that subject matter does not have to be dull in order to educate. She says traditionally we have been taught that if it is fun, it probably has no educational value. However, Loretta Long views the method of making education entertaining as a useful method of keeping kids turned on to education. Loretta Long believes that she has a responsibility to butt society ' s stereotype of women and blacks. She has tried for the last five years to expand the dimension of her Sesame Street character Susan, to encompass more contemporary aspects of society. Loretta Long i 185 186 STUDENT LIFE m During the course of the day student life may con- sist of: solving a class problem, viewing a football game, socializing or engaging in a tennis match.

We have tried to make this yearbook a publication of historical and cultural significance. I will not say the prepara- tions were easy, sometimes they seemed impossible. But, with the help of my few dedicated members, we pre- sent to you the 1979 LIVINGSTO- NIAN, The Coming of the Morn. Please forgive us for the many errors in which you will find. Thanks again to the many persons who helped make this publication possible. Brenda A. Pace Co-Editor Brenda A.

When this thought came into my mind I thought of the many people that I was depending on, and the people that were depending on me. My appreciation goes out to the entire staff for their hard work, but special thanks is deserved by several people. I want to thank Mr. Wilbert Sadler and Bernie Lessard for just being there and aiding me whenever I needed help. Also special thanks goes out to Mary Howard, Floscelia Carson, Leo Pendergrass, Lloyd Johnson, Glenn Grayson (who is not pictured), Patricia Harris (who is not pictured), and especially Charles Davis, who I called on to develop pictures at anytime during the day or night.

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 men ' ry ' s page, And in the sky not cloud shall be — Instead, thy sun shall beam. Prosperity shall live always amid its golden gleam. 0! Livingstone, my Livingstone! They 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 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 thy names and colors too — The modest black and blue. NO MATTER HOW DARK THE NIGHT MAY SEEM, I BELIEVE IN THE COMING OF THE MORN. Joseph Charles Price Joseph Charles Price Founder of Livingstone College 24;:
