Unaware of the many obstacles to be encountered, we started this trip with joyous plans for four years of entertainment interspersed with a few hours of classwork. Our general idea of college was just another high school with the addition of dormitory life. Many changes were to take place in our group of ambitious youths, however, before the trip was finally completed. The first days of our college life were spent, for the most part, in getting acquainted with our roommates, learning the different buildings on the campus, and learning the new rules to which we would be subjected during our stay at college. The upperclass- men were most willing to help us and, within a little while, we began to feel at home in our new abode. The next days, however, were quite different for, by this time, most of us were suffering from extreme cases of nostalgia, but we managed to go through the line of registration and to fill in the yellow cards which were to play such a vital part in moulding our future. Soon classes began and we realized that our carefree, idle days were over. We also learned that failure is easier to achieve than is success. Several of the students were un- able to withstand this obstacle and dropped along the wayside, leaving the most ambitious ones to travel farther. As we settled down to study, we looked forward to the holidays. We were anxious to see the Christmas holidays for they would mean the first time that many of us would be going home since we came. The holidays passed and then what happened? See, but it was time for what the upperclassmen called exams . We had been warned of these at the beginning but did not take heed; so now, in a few days, we had to cramb, push and pack what we should have gathered all of the way along. For once the dormi- tories were quiet and we were behind closed doors, coming out only to go to the library or dining hall. Four days of exams (what a headache!) and at last they were over. Those of us who lived close by went home between semesters. Representing our class on the Semester Honor Roll were: Dorman Avery, Lorena Breeze (McBroom) . Dorette Daniels, Thomas Entzminger, Gwendolyn Ligon, Jesse Loftin, John Manley. Dorothy Powell, Edith Prunty, Virginia Raiford and Donnie Williamson. We began the second semester a little more seriously than we did the first. Due to the war there was no football. However, we participated in basketball. On the men ' s team we were represented by Eugene Turner and Thomas Entzminger; on the women ' s team by Doretha Daniels, Mozelle Alston, Rina Harris. Annie Hilliard, Janie Walker and Jessie Johnson. Another week of exams ended our first mile of the way. We had become attached to each other, so with tears in our eyes, dried only by the thought of our returning in the Fall, we parted. In the Fall of ' 45 we registered as juniors, looking forward to the junior-senior prom, which occupied most of our time during the spring. Time came for election of the president of the Student Body and did we feel honored when one of our own classmates, Miss Dorette Daniels, the first woman to hold that position, was elected and accepted readily. My, but how time flew and here we were beginning the last mile of the journey. The old ship which had been sailing through rugged as well as calm waters had sighted land and will soon anchor in the harbor of succcess. Those of us who have withstood the storm feel proud to know that we have just about completed our journey. For some of us it means the end of our school work; for others it me ' ans just a step to higher edu- cation, but, whatever our lot, we fear no trail and will continue to move on. Now, as we stand on the threshold, looking back over our four years which have been pleasurable and painful, we say fare- well to our teachers, classmates and friends. To our Teachers: You have guided and moulded us and we sincerely hope that you feel that you have not labored in vain. To our Classmates: The joys we have shared will linger in our memories to remind us of our stay here. To our Friends: Our chain shall not be broken, but strengthened. So with our motto in mind: The timber lies before us, let us build , we now face the world, and the history of the Class of 1947 goes down on record. Yet for us it is only the beginning and not the end. Signed: Cleopatra Hales Jessie Johnson Janie R. Walker Class Historians. CLASS POEM Alma Mater , the Mother of us all, whom we ' ll: always obey, Eagerly have we waited and worked four years for this day. It has been a steady, but pleasant toil we can say. Now that it is here, our hearts are filled with dismay. We love you, Alma Mater, Dear . Memories of you always will linger near. Your campus, halls, faculty and staff have given us so much cheer That we are reluctant to leave; but with the courage that you have given us to be brave and stout-hearted To our duties we go without fear. It never can be farewell to you; Never can we forget you; how can we? We are certain the skies will not always be blue, But for you, your portals we shall forever see. When shadows of sorrow have all passed away When our youth has been stolen by patches of gray, At the end of a perfect day; May we recall the sweet memories of yesterday? Dear Lord, we pray. Nefferritte Fisher Delma G. Sanders CLASS SONG To you, Alma Mater, the school of our hearts, We pledge Thee our loyalty true, For the work of Thy teaching and Thy loving care, Which has taught us to know and to do. Here within Thy walls, four years we have toiled, For the knowledge that we have obtained, We will love you forever and ever shall prove, You alone in our hearts will e ' er rule. As your dear sons and daughters go out from Thy walls, Your true Spirit shall with us remain, For Your Name we shall praise and Your Banner we ' ll raise, ' Tis Your Glory we ' ll always sustain. Alma Mater, may you forever long stand Crowned with honor as none in the land, As we go from Thy Portals we ' ll ever be true, Dear Shaw U, we bid Thee adieu. b r % ROSETTA ABRAMS, A.B., ZETTE 7120 Tibbals Road, S.E.

We do hereby charge the Junior class to execute our last will and testament. Testators: MOZELLE ALSTON Mary Ashley Anne Boone Lillian White PROPHESY— CLASS OF ' 47 Mae Stephens, Sylvester Price and Jackie Robinson have been working steadily since 1947 on several elements, human and un- human, wise and otherwise, which may or may not change the philosophy or habitat of the world. Having acquired a great amount of money they decided to tour the world and gather data and do research, especially on their classmates, whom, after all, they knew better than they do anyone else. Their research will concern success and failure and its effects, on the various human beings. To make the ' tour a success the group had to be a little more versatile so they picked up Bynum Crews and John Williams, who, by this time were penniless old men (alias social workers) in Arizona where they had gone for their health; and Dody Daniels in Reno where she had just secured her fourth divorce after finishing her latest picture He Broke My Heart . Here they chartered a plane piloted by Eugene Logan who had a crew of five — Raphael Carlton, co-pilot; Jessie Johnson, navigator: Chester Sutton, mechanic; and Vera Boyd, hostess. From Reno we went to Hollywood and talked with many friends — John Wilson Fleming, famous hairstylist and his model Gertrude Faulkner: John Baldwin, another Alan Ladd; Lillie Simons, designer of MGM stage scenery; and LaJune Satterwhite, sing- ing sensation of Ciros. Just out of Hollywood the plane had engine trouble and we were forced to land on a vast expanse of plains. Ge tting out of the plane, we realized that we were on a pigeon farm. We crossed the well-tended tract of land and came to a farmhouse where, to our surprise, there stood Edith Wise and Irene Vines in the doorway — the owners and managers of this lovely place. Upon crossing the Pacific we saw a beau- tiful ship below on whose side we read U.S.S. — Shaw . Being curious graduates of ' 47, this indeed was enough to make us all homesick. In a few minutes we learned by radio that the ship was under the com- mand of Admiral Josephine Zollicoffer and that aboard the ship were Mary Hardy and Cleo Hales on the way back to the States to visit their parents. (They are married to Russian Colonels.) Also aboard the ship was a trunk of oriental jewels being smug- gled by Hazel Long Sorrell. We landed in England and there looked up Hortense Gilmore, Prima Donna of Met- ropolitan Opera, and her manager, Peter R. Brown, who were touring Europe; Olivia Cheek, who was getting her Ph.D. at the University of Oxford; and Ida Boykins, who was playing the piano in Richard Maxwell ' s Red Hot Supper Club there. When we reached France we landed at Gay Paris and womenlike Dody and Mae had to buy hats so they looked up the swankiest little millinery shop there which was under the management of Laura Perry, Jeannette E. Powe and J. Ruth Powe. From there we went on a sight-seeing tour and crossed a bridge under partial construction by two of the world ' s leading electrical engineers, Donnie Mae Williamson and Ruby Marsh. Incidentally, this bridge was named Bradley Bridge in honor of Robena Bradley ' s great discovery of a cure for Shaw bedrithis (sleeping sickness) . After a few hours ' flight we reached Switzerland where Eunice Cumbo, Dorothy Lilly, Clementine Lassiter, Eva Merritt and Lois Brown were skiing from the great Alps Mountains. In a few hours we found ourselves in Holland. While cruising through the indus- trial district, we saw a sign on a shop with the following inscription: Power ' s Shoe Makers . Curious as usual, we stopped, walked in, and saw William Powers, the owner, and his lovely wife and private sec- retary, Katherine Morton. He has several assistants: Marvin Smith, Conorah Watson, Beulah Reavis, Gladys Turner and Margaret Thorpe, all of whom were busy making wooden shoes. Here we were told that Lillian White had a tulip nursery five miles out. We just had to see Lillian, so drove out to find her standing between rows and rows of tulips, yelling like mad to her business pardner, Delma Gallop Sanders. While reading a Russian newspaper in Switzerland, Bynum saw on the advertisement page that LaVerne Jackson was being featured at Hilda Black ' s Nitery as star dancer with Mozelle Alston, Mary Lillie Ashley and Delia Brown, the other members of the chorus line. Napoleon Lewis and his French musicians were playing a seven-night stand there. Only two more stops abroad and our over- sea tour would be completed. One day later we landed in China in search of a place to sleep and stopped at a hotel owned by Mildred Jackson Sadler. Behind the desk sat a famil- iar-looking little lady — none other than Wessa Wray Wilkins. We went to the Dining Room and talked with the wait- resses: Etta Sessoms, Paulette Saint-Fort and Martha Shepard. We realized now that our over-sea tour truly had to come to an end in twenty-four hours. Jackie flipped a coin to determine our next move. ' Twas heads so to Japan we went! Three hours later we were hailing a taxi (coolie there). Only one carriage was in sight and the owner seemed very lazy and reluctant about driving us. Finally, when we were able to arouse him, we saw whom this little hard-boiled man was. Yes, James Murray. We just had to visit the emperor ' s mansion and were cruelly knocked off our feet when we saw sitting before all those sons of the Rising Sun our dear classmate, George Debnam, bedecked in all bright colors of the Rising Sun. Of course he had taken all of the beauties of Shaw ' s campus to keep this expensive place in perfect peace and har- mony — Mamie Smith, Alice Wright, Lottie Wright and Annie L. Thomas. We were quite impressed by the doorman — dear old Lewis Wise. We successfully completed our trans- Atlantic tour and landed at LaGuardia Field. New York on a warm spring day. Being quite hungry we dined at a little out-of-the- way restaurant operated by Gwen Ligon and Mary Britt. Naturally, here we heard much about the whereabouts of the Class of ' 47. Rosetta Abrams was superintendent of a girls ' reformatory in Harlem; Rezelia Walker was assistant to Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.; Robert Barnes was a German professor at Booker T. Washington High School and Inez McAllister was manager of the New York Yankees. After talking for some time we went to a show where we saw Lorena McBroom, Loretta McGlone and Margaret McLean, now known as the famous Merry Macs . We also saw Katherine Dunham ' s dance group featuring Margaret Bizzell, Mary Beasley, Hattie Booker, Elsie Hicks, Queenie Howard and Elberta Hunter. When we reached Mae ' s apartment a group of Shawites came up led. of course, by the energetic and babbling socialite, Waltena Pen- nix, who suggested that we go out to the Zanzibar which is now under the supervision of Mary Gannaway. As we walked in, we heard the ole familiar strains of Stardust . Should have known that no one else could play it like that but John Debnam. He and his Nite Hawks were playing to a packed house every night. Of course his singing star. Hellene Daye, added much to the night ' s entertainment. While we were at Mary ' s club, a flash came by radio that Ida Weather- ford had just walked across the Atlantic City Boardwalk with the title Miss Bronze Amer- ica, 195 7 . We wondered where we would spend the night but our fears were soon downed by the appearance of Eugene Turner, owner of Hotel Shaw. Hanging on his arm and chattering like a magpie was his wife, the former Frankie Baird. Eleanor Stokes was over from Hackensack where she was spending her vacation after divorcing her third husband, McTodd. She told us that she had just heard from Rose Price who was vacationing in Cuba with her husband, Charles England. We find now that Margaret Teele is living in D. C. serving in an advisory capacity to Walter Alston who is head of the Federal Housing Projects. Annie Louise Hilliard is at Dew Drop Inn owned by Thomas Boykin. Ruby Nelson and Annie Boone are quite the celebrities these days since the recent pub- lication of their revised edition of Modern Rules of Pinocle. Lucille Brown and Do- rette Daniels are working on their doctorates at Columbia and Betty Alston has a cute little dress shop in Raleigh. Georgia Bishop and Thelma Knight, though married to Danny and Edmund Cheek, are still together. They own a chicken farm in Baltimore. Remember reading about this new synthetic rubber? Well, it ' s coming from the rubber plantation of Henry Leak. Associated with him are Janie Lee, Rosa Lee, and Florence Lee. Margaret Kemmer and Mary Joyner have a florist shop in Raleigh and Inez Crump is playing two piano numbers in Twentieth Century Fox ' Production of Hear Me, Honey . Mabel Fulton has a modeling agency and Lindsey Dillard, Estella Banks, Ruth Andrews and Sara Watkins own a trailer camp. Gwendolyn Grady and Willie Mae Fuller are teaching at Saint Augustine ' s College while Nefferritte Fisher, Eula Faul- con and James Boykin are running a dry- cleaning service for Shaw U. Melba Boykin is staff surgeon at Freed- man ' s Hospital in D. C. Daisy Rice Boykin and Ernestine Lewis are collaborating on a new book called Modern Methods of Child Care. Virginia Raiford Barfield and Mattie Gib- son are teaching at dear ole Shaw. Lucretia and Vernelle Hardy and Ardelle Henry are co- managers of The Home of Lovely Hair- styles in Philadelphia. Bertie Jenkins and Annie Carl Jones are now matrons of dear ole Shaw Hall and Roberta Raiford is dieti- tian at Bennett. Edith Tucker, Enzelee Stephens and Bernestine Walker manage a boarding school for children three to twelve years of age. Janie Ruth Walker coaches the girls ' basket- ball team at Fayetteville State and Thomas Kee is language instructor at Howard. Just now, however, the center of attrac- tion for the whole nation is Evelyn Wright Crews, the lovely mother of boy quintuplets. - 3L.iU«A i - I STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS President DORETTE DANIELS Vice President MAURICE P.
