PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAI ' CentlilJ of The College has experienced a Progress characterized by institutional and individual successes and achievements. One hundred years, though a relatively brief period in the life of institutions and organizations, can be a long and tedious span in the life of a struggling people. Nevertheless, we have come of age! We are on our way! With the same eagerness that Livingstone has striven to complete her first century, she endeavors to lay well the foundation for her second century. Our successes and achievements during the one hundred years of the College form a sound basis for a Creative Thrust for the Future . Through the years, students have played a significant role through their many academic and extra-curricula activities in making the Livingstone College story a successful one. We shall depend on students to help the College, through their ingenuity and thoughtfulness, make a creative thrust for the future. In this regard, the yearbook is an important document. The yearbook staff has captured in this publication the spirit and essence of the Livingstone spirit which is expressed through commitment to self-reliance, self-help, self- respect, excellence in performance, and high levels of achievement. It is my pleasure to offer commendations to the yearbook staff with reference to this excellent publication. It records the experiences of the current Fresh- man, Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes at the College. These experiences form an impor- tant chapter in the Livingstone College story and is the climaxing year of A Century of Progress and a crucial year for A Creative Thrust for the Future. F. George Shipman President Livingstone College

Century, of frogress ' Centennial Jdttton FOREWORD n 4 ' ;5.- M«y it b.lng you much tapptae- «ud mm good memories. MY LIVINGSTONE — ALMA MATER 01 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 Thy zephyred breezes blow, J ust as they will in years to come, No matter where we go. 01 Livingstone, my Livingstone! When thou art old with age, Thou, too, shalt hold a noble place, That ' s bright on mem ' ry ' s page, A nd in the sky no cloud shall be- Instead, thy sun shall beam, Prosperity shall live always Amid its golden gleam. 01 Livingston, my Livingstone! Thy students come and go, The moments fly, the years go by With all their weal 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. 01 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 mey e ' re be true To both thy names and colors too The modest black and blue.
