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 . F. George Shipman President Livingstone College 5

The Coming of The Morn Our Pre-Centennial Edition Foreword As the 1978-79 school year comes to an end, many students have awakened to the many opportunities awaiting them. 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
