Roads Taken Among the components of the ideal life are a well rounded, complete personality, and a well culti- vated and sound mind and body. More than ever, in order to meet the challenge that the attainment of the ideal life presents, one must be prepared. But preparation for the ideal life in our age of wonders must extend far beyond the boundaries of academic specialization — into those of cultural awareness, physical fitness, and social adjustment. Four years at Morgan State College have given us a beginning, and travel upon many roads of experience has led the class of 1966 to this point. We are proud to present ... the ROADS TAKEN!

Dedication NATHANIEL ADAMS COLE We are proud to dedicate this book to the memory of the late Nathaniel Adams Cole, pianist, com- poser, and master stylist of popular song. Nat ( King”) Cole will long be remembered in the theatre and motion pictures and on radio and television. He performed before millions all over the world. In America, in Europe, in Australia, and in the Orient, his genius has been proclaimed. He was among the first of the Negro performers to have his own national television series and to be headlined on a sponsored radio net- work series. He was honored by every music journal of any importance in the United States for his unique style as a singer, composer, and pianist. In 1964 the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts was conferred upon him by Morgan State College. Although Nat ( King”) Cole's Roads Taken were not the same as those we have traveled for the past four years, his life was a living reminder that hard work and a creative imagination are as important as talent in the world of the performing arts as well as elsewhere.” 4
