President's Message At no previous time in history has college education on the broad scale been more important ' K in the development of our democratic ideals and aspirations. The growth of American ideals has been, in the main, dependent upon men and wo- men who have attended the colleges and univer- sities. In a similar manner, the growth and development of our way of life will continue to take place as a result of the interpretation and achievement of our present college generation. The students of this college generation will be called upon to carry the major respon- sibilities for the programs that lead toward harm- ony and human welfare. The activities and the programs in which you engage are the beginnings of the contributions which you will make. In this yearbook I hope one may discover some of the signs of your growth and development in that direction. if an ae we H -a - Tm, rr: t iff, V' C Q TE I :QQ 1 'S - - I Q, ' -i ,e - as gg .Z .4 fs.

DEDICATION The 1954 TIGER is dedicated to MISS LOREESE E. DAVIS Counsellor for Women XXVI? f' Miss Loreese E. Davis A B., W. Va. State Counsellor of women at Savannah State, Miss Davis is one of the few members of the administrative staff who have close contact with almost every student. To many, she stands as a personification of the strength, dignity, generosity, and practicality that must characterize any definition of Savannah State. Miss Davis represents a vital force which expresses itself at both the administrative and personal levels of college life, and which will continue to do so for a good time to come. It is in these temis and not merely in those of long and devoted service -- that we think of Miss Davis in this dedication. Out of re- spect and gratitude for her service at the College, the staff is proud to dedicate the 1954 TIG E R to her.
