JUST A MORG TE by P1XXB (AJLbNH Li September, imi. I entered Morgan State College with many other timid, ques- tioning, yet hopeful students. I felt a little above the Freshman Gass, for I was a trans- fer student from Virginia State College. At fust, I fbYVId it quite difficult to become a real Morganite. I went to football games, particularly Virginia State versus Morgan State, and I would yell not only for the Morgan team but also for the Virginia State team. I found that I was booed n the Morgan side for yelling for Virginia State, and I was -booed on the Virginia State side for -wearing the Morgan pin. Imnieditely, 1 came ■ the realizai on that I was a Morganite, and as I sang lie Alma Mater, the old Morgan spirit deieloped within me. At last; I am a .real Morganite. I'm one who toiled da)- and night with mathematics calculus and solid geometry-. I'm one who can appreciate every da)- I spent working with, and for, my instructors from whom I- received quite an educational enlightenment. I'm one who was enlightened by the entire Morgan spirit of die faculty, the student body and the spirit of the football team-Oh yes, Morgan had a team, Morgan still has a team and Morgan will always have a team. Morgan, as I lete you, I want to eitpress my appreciation £rr your enlightenment, and wonderful guidance which I-shall strive to uphold to the best of my ability. I trust that you will guide other Morganites in the future, and let your Alma Mater ring in thdr hearts. Those happy moments that we once sliared together we'll miss them ki a big way. As we leave Morgan, we arc not only taking our dipl«,„ as but we arc also carrying many tender memories of hours spent within these walls. Though our departure is accompanied by regret, we'll always remember when; As a freshman dass we were tagged individualists and booed for our protests again5t unfair hazing . . . The Freshman Herald we published ii which Cantell Stewart wrote the Tale of the Rose which furnished us with many chuckles • • • Dot Harris sang L'Amour Tojour L'Amour n Freshman Talent Night and sent everyone into raptures . . • During the performance of Night over Toos, we laughed uproriously at puss in boots ... We thought our eyes were playing tricks cn ik when we discovered the Knox twins ... As a new freshman £coin Corona New- York, Lil Hinton attracted quite a bit of attention with her jitterbugging •. • Dr. Coleman inspired ik with the concept of A New Day, New Era, New- Regime . As sophomores at the annual Tug of War, we pulled the freshmen in the creek ••• We initiated the new Christian Center with our Freshnien-Sophomore Conference ••• We topped all Junior-Senior proms with our af ir.
