1970 Hornet Published By Morris College Sumter, South Carolina Valarie Rozier, Editor Clarence Alston, Business Manager EJNSON MEMORIAL LIBRARY MORRIS COLLEGE MORRIS COLLEGE Morris College was founded by the Baptist State Education and Missionary Convention of South Carolina in 1908 for the Christian and intellectual training of second generation freed Negroes. In the early decades of its history, Morris College provided three levels of training; elementary school, high school and college. During the college's continuing development the following major changes have taken place: The elementary and high school were discontinued; from a meager beginning of a few buildings, at least one of which was from bricks manufactured by the students, the college has developed a beautiful physical plant valued at about two million dollars and a strong academic Liberal Arts progrSm and; the college has become a multi-racial institution catering to all races. Able leadership of Dr. F.. M. Brawley, Dr. S. J. Starks, Dr. I. I). Pinson, Dr. J. P. Garrick, and Dr. H. H. Butler, provided the foundation that undergirds the present administration. Under the leadership of President O. R. Reuhen. elected in 1948, the college has made signal progress. The faculty and curriculum have been greatly strengthened. The program, facilities and services of the college have been expanded. Nine buildings have been added to the campus. Of greatest interest is the president's initial implementation of the Morris C ollege Campus Master Plan, that projects the development of a campus designed to provide 1.200 students with a quality education in selected areas. This plan will include improvement of streets and throughways and renovation of present structures which are part of the permanent campus, and, the construction of 34 buildings by 1980. Coexistent Mth tranquil aspects of Morris is a dynamic activity of mind and senses, symbolized by the Fall Convocation procession, a technicolor array of learning. We who do not yet own scarlet or blue hoods join others w ho do; wc hope in time to gain our own. In the meantime we gather arm loads of fundamental theory for concentrated effort in night hours or hurried review before classes. In the midst of activity we stop to share an intimacy with a friend, enjoy exhibiting psychomotor skills or logos in a Hull Session, or “Feed the inner man. And we, with a lull sense of pride, honor those who in reaching for the stars far surpass us scholastically. 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 13 M 15 President Reuben, along with the Assistant Dean. J. I..

Coach, Co-Captain SPORTS When a college attracts and enrolls students of many interests and talents as Morris College does, it provides opportunities for furthering these talents. One of the most important sources providing outlets for special interests lies in sports. A typical game at Morris includes: the team looking calm, professional, and ready, the paying cutomers here to see a good game, the students yelling and clapping while the cheerleaders dance and sing. Losing or winning is equally significant in meaning and value. 62 Senior Varsity (Not Pictured) Jimmy l lovd 63 The hectic regular season reached its climax with Prentice Moore.

Coach Geter gives the Hornets some tips about the plays. 67 Morality cannot be legislated, therefore, if the oppressor denies me freedom I have no choice, but to take it. s Let there be no mistake about it. Black Power is a prerequisite to American's future survival. When I die. I shall not miss the Carolina Wren or the yellow Jessamine, nor shall I miss my racial counterpart. I shall indeed miss my people, my peasant people, my Black people. 68 Student President's Message A major objective of Morris College is to provide an educational system that will serve, among other people the needs of a black people. The student body, administrators and faculty members have, through the years, made Morris a symbol of the positive aspects of Black Identity. Working together to create and move forward academic and civic programs for reading aspects, with far-reaching results, we have sought changes. It is my belief that within this decade, some of our graduates will attain significant statue by merit of their contributions toward meeting the needs of the peoples of the world. The student body this year has been exposed to the need for Black Liberation perhaps more than any other in the history of the college. Resultant of this awareness, we are destined to move the college forward. I challenge all of you to continue meeting the educational needs of a culture which is Black oriented, to venture into the world with a renewed strength intellectually equipped to meet the needs of our brothers everywhere. 69 Organizations Student (internment A number of campus organizations form a social structure which is basically parallel to that of any society. In government. and religion, these organizations fulfill certain student needs. F. Burns, J. Richardson. A. Burison, D. Ramsey. K. Mumford. and D. Brock. At the beginning of the year, there was a feeling that radical changes were in the air. With Burns. Richardson. Mumford, and their colleague in office, every one was anticipating something extraordinary, anything extraordinary. 70 Student Congress Perhaps this year turned out a little differently from any other.Student government is bewildering here at Morris. It is very difficult to define. It is either designed to deal with the intricacies of making student life easier and less traditional or it is meant to allow students a voice in decisions which shape the life at Morris. It is possible that changes made this year, issues raised, and traditions challenged, have not yet led to solutions. But. at least more students are weighing the values of education and utilizing the existing structure in their roles of society. 71 Men's Senate of Brawley-Starks Hall S. Leonard, B. McGriff, L. P.

The validity of this statement is of relative rather than absolute importance to this dedication. The significant value is whether or not one has and exercises leadership ability to serve in time of crisis. Here at Morris College, as at other colleges and universities, the concern has been ethical rather than doctrinal, and prompted by a deep seated thrust toward realizing, asserting and identifying with positive aspects of Black consciousness. It is because of this humanitarian involvement that wc pay tribute to Morris College student leaders. They have earnestly pursued the search for a morality that is both idealistic and pragmatically realistic. Through their leadership and achievements they have proved themselves beneficiaries of all men who stepped out from the crowd, w hose deeds still live, w hose ideas motivate and inspire and whose words enrich the mind and excite the imagination.

The present seal is a new seal that was necessitated by the developmental change and progress in the purpose and objectives of the college that were predicated by new trends in education and a changing social order. Consequently, in 1969. President 0. R. Reuben commissioned Mr. Theo-lander M. Taylor, Art instructor at the college to design the seal. The seal is a discus consisting of two circles and a triangle with a raised torch depicted in the center. The outer circle, a dynamic element of the design, suggests movement that is symbolic of progress to which the college is dedicated. The torch represents knowledge that is provided by the college through the administration and faculty. In the triangle the placement of God at the apex symbolizes His eminence and the emphasis the college places on Christian education. Knowledge appears in the right angle and re-emphasizes the major objectives of the college. Man in the left angle represents mankind and relates to the co-educaiional constituency of the college's student body. Projected Women’s Dormitory The Morris College Ten Year Master Plan will provide for a physical plan and atmosphere that will contribute to the educational purpose of the college. It will incorporate some of the existing buildings and include new elements in a functional arrangement of academic buildings, athletic facilities, administrative activities, service, residential quadrangles, and parking areas that w ill accommodate an ultimate enrollment of 1.200 students. 84 i Ri |5l n w I L ■ 3 r i t 1 J | 1 11 I v-V Q MORRIS COLLEGE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN ::: IDuUd a � • « • □ I Approved b (he Hoard of T rusiccs of Morris College November 12. 1969 The Chairman of the Board of Trustee s Message To the Class of 1970 Rev.

Ol'l RATI DBV IHI SI ATI BAPTIST CONVENTION 1970 Dear Morrisites. In this year, we begin a new decade of service, and we continue the fulfilling of our commitment to education “undergirded by the Christian philosophy of life. The varied experiences of the decade just ended, and our hopes and aspirations for the “Seventies” make our commitment to intellectual development fortified by high moral purpose and integrity even more compelling. New opportunities beckon to us, and greater responsibilities challenge us. The achievements of the Morris College Community as reflected in this and previous yearbooks remind us that we possess the resources and the determination for high endeavor. Let us, then, continue to work together for a greater Morris College, thus helping to build a better world. To the Editor.

His dynamic personality is reflected through his students at the college which is more than his second home and certainly his source of joy and pride. His appreciation for a good story is exceeded only by his great sense of humor. Armed with extensive theological training and intense spiritual dedication. Rev. Abney preaches as if his life depends upon it. Perhaps it does. Dr. Anna I). Reuben. Human vivacious, brilliant, and sensitive to the needs of others are but a few of the aspects of our First Lady. The depth and extent of her love and the consistency and intensity of her involvements are ever present reminders to us of Phillipians 4:8. “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things arc pure, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 120 Mrs. Ponthcolla W illiams. She moves in radiant dignity and a-wakes within us a passion for knowledge and deep appreciation for the language and literature of all ethnic groups, faithfully, she follows her convictions inspiring in students the joy of learning for the purpose of appreciation of Belles-Lettres, and productive living and serving others. Re� . L. E. Daniels. You arc late! I am closing this door! You are not getting in here today!’ These words reflect respect for time as Rev. Daniels sees it. After the door is closed he imparts the wisdom of experience and academic achievements lightened by his forgetting seldom to tell anecdotes of significance and humor. A day at Morris is incomplete without getting a glimpse of Rev. Daniels walking across the campus leasing everyone. He is always big enough to accept any joke even if it turns on him. 121 Morris College 122 ,1 Kindergarten 123 Janie Y.
