Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1946 volume:

THE BEAR 1945 PUBLISHED BY SENIOR CLASS OF SHAW UNIVERSITY WILLIAM POAG HALL. EDITOR HENRY CLAY TURNER, BUSINESS MANAGER FOREWORD Whoever thinks a faultless annual to see, Thinks what ne ' er was, nor is, nor e ' er shall he. 1 In the publication of this hook we present with mingled uneasiness and pleasure the first volume of The Bear by a senior class. It is hardly possible or probable that the casual reader will understand the vastness of the undertaking which it has been our delection and duty to perform. Over our work we have spent many long- but interesting hours, and we therefore present without apology the results of our labor. We hope that the 194C) Shaw Bejr will fulfill its purpose. For this purpose to be realized this annual must be pleasant and lasting moments or a souvenir of the year 1946 in Shaw University ' s life — both to the graduate and the undergraduate. We have striven to make the hook a faithful and impartial presentation of Shaw University in all its phases and activities. To those students and friends without whose timely and great aid the Shaw Bear could not have been what it is, we proffer our sincere and hearty thanks. And now we invite you to have a look at our book. DEDICATION MISS MILDRED NAOMI JORDAN With deep and sincere appreciation for her loyal, unstinted efforts in our behalf, for her enthusiastic coopera- tion and support in every endeavor, and for her consistent service as true counsellor, guide, and friend, we the members of the class of 194(i dedicate the 1946 edition of The Bear to Miss Mildred N. Jordan. 5 - feM i s W rr H - H Z w HOME ECONOMICS HOME CAMPUS VIEW CONVENTION HALL FOUNDER ' S DAY Top: Processional to the grave of the founder.

Daniel A.B.. A.M., PH D. PRESIDENT The record of Dr. Robert P. Daniel as President of Shaw University is one of progress. The growth and expansion of the institution, attended by a comparable growth in influence and service to the race, has been phenomenal in the ten years since President Daniel entered upon his administration of its affairs. Within that decade student enroll- ment has increased nearly 75 per cent, or from slightly less than 1(111 to nearly TOO students at- present. The university staff, which included 35 persons then, now is composed of 81 people with 65 professional staff members and 16 service and maintenance workers. The operating budget has been doubled and finances of the institution are in excellent condition. A few of the many accomplishments noted dur- ing Dr. Daniel ' s administration are these: 1. All buildings on the campus have been renovated with over a quarter of a million dollars spent in plant renovation and new equipment. 2. The Leonard Building was renovated and restored to complete use after being out of full service for 25 years. 3. An indebtedness of $45,000 was cancelled in two years, enabling the school to receive a grant of $45,000 from the General Education Board. 4% A Home Economics Practice residence and two additional faculty residences have been erected. 5. The institution ' s educational standing has been raised to the A rating by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in recognition of the strengthened academic pro- gram, progressive administrative policies, enlarged library services, and stable financial condition. (i. Improvement has been affected in the or- ganization of the School of Religion, the Summer School, and the general curriculum. 7. There is a greatly improved library includ- ing complete recataloging of books, new library furniture and equipment, and an enlarged staff. h. Splendid success in the 250 thousand dollar New Development Program Campaign with $244,281 already pledged as of February IS, 1946. Dr. Daniel came to Shaw University in Iinio ' from Virginia Union University, Richmond, his Alma Mater, where he served, after graduation, mi the faculty for twelve years, nine of them as professor of Education and Director of Exten- sion, chairman of the Division of Education, Psychology, and Philosophy.

In lfijs he received the M.A. degree from Teachers College, Columbia University and in 1032 earned the Ph.D. degree from Columbia University. President Daniel is one of the four sons of the late Charles . ' . and Carrie Green Daniel, all of whom hold the Ph.D. degree, two of them from Columbia University and two from the University of Chicago.

Great leaders of our Race we ' ll strive to be. Alma Mater, Thy stately buildings we ' ll always revere, Echoed strains of Alma Mater we ' ll always hear ; Classroom experiences, faculty . . . all, Pleasant memories of them we ' ll ever recall.

This is the class which entered the gates of Shaw University as war drums rumbled in the not too far distance, to embark upon a four year academic journey. The history of this class is the history of thousands of classes being graduated this year from colleges and universities of the nation. Like other classes it was not immune to the evils of war. Over the high palisades sheltering its intellectual community, the lean, hungry arm which fed the nation ' s militant appetite randomly reached, wrestling twelve males from its freshman ranks: Nathaniel Hell, Henry Rlackmon, Walter Chavis, John Hairston, Warren Keys, Shade Connor, William Perry, Dennis Pittman (a gold star appears be- side his name), John Saunders, John Williams, Russel Williams, and Emmett Williamson; only to return the next year for Kenneth Anderson. Thomas Hart, and Willis Stewart. With them went Coach Lytle ' s dream of a varsity team. With them went twenty-two male upperclassmcn and all hopes of having a Hear eleven. To the members of the class of ' 46 it appeared hopelessly obvious that the absence of a football team, of a sufficient number of males to attend socials and to carry out the aim of co-education, a well-rounded college career would not be theirs. Nevertheless, this class was not swept under by the currents of despondency and given to dejection because there would not he the annual Homecoming Classic, the formal dances, or because the government had placed a ban on travel which required that it spend the Christmas holidays on the campus that first year. (For many this was their first Christmas away from home.) Instead it sent forth from its ranks Doris McNeil to defend in the position of forward the Hearcttes ' outstanding record on the basketball court, and Chauncy Edwards to represent us with the Hears. Neither did this class let scholarship go wanting. From its proud ranks came Dorothy Cheeks with a straight A for the entire four years. This class in its Junior year gave to the Alpha Kappa Mil Honor Society five of its members. To the music of the University Choir the voices of Adelaide Payne. Virginia Wyatt, Valeria Hrown, Alethia Ransom, Hlondell Jones, Luella Dickens, Grace Payne, Ardell Holland, Darius Johnson, and Dorothy Floyd, members of the classs of ' 46, lent themselves in song accompanied by Inez Crump, school pianist and also a member of the class. In its junior year, it momentarily threw off the shackles of war, and deviated from the norm, giving the Seniors a prom which boasted of all the attributes of proms of pre-war days, bringing forth sweet music in the form of a six piece orchestra. This year ' s Blah possessed for the first time in its history a firm, leather cover which was the results of the earnest efforts of enterprising members o f the class of ' 46, the first class to make the publication of this book a class project. The history of this class is likewise the history of Shaw University. It was during its four year stay that Shaw University received its A rating from the Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. It was dur- ing its four year stay that Shaw University launched upon a $250,000 Building Expansion Program to which the student body gave its support. It was during the four years stay of this class that the Baptist Student Union was organized and the rebirth of the Social Science Club was announced. Now the class of ' 46 marches forward, taking with it the cherished memories of days at Shaw, leaving behind friends — friends of four years acquaintance. The history of the class of ' 4(5 at Shaw has been written, yet the history of the class has just begun. Madge Clark, Class Historian. .14 CLASS WILL 1.
