QU xumx : -: Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of Shaw University Raleigh, North Carolina JAMES H. SMITH JOHN TAYLOR Editor-in-Chief Business Manager FOREWORD We live but once-the years of schooldays, when once past, are past forever. It matters not how ardently we may wish them overg it avails us nothing. So it is with other stages of life. The days at Shaw are no longer ours. They have gone beyond our reach. What we have made them, they shall remain. The present moment alone is ours. Today is a day which we never had before, which we shall never have again. It rose from the great ocean of eternity and again sinks into its unfathomable depths. fTalmadgeJ After long weary months of writing, rewriting, picture taking and sleepless nights, we, the members of the BEAR Staff, have finally com- pleted our task in the publication of this edition of the BEAR. With one last look and a fond farewell, we hope that this book will be not only a story of life at Shaw, but also a tangible momento of all our college years. -THE EDITOR. '7 DEDICATION Foster P. Payne I We, the members of the Senior Class of 1951, do hereby dedicate this edition of THE BEAR to our loyal and faithful dean of the college. Through- out our four years he has been our adviser and friend. He always took an active part in all our class activities and never failed to help us when we needed him most. It is our sincere hope that this edition of THE B1-:AR will make him proud of the class of 1951. 3 5 5 NXMXXXXXXXXXX ..1vnna-fi 'Q 'Q21 .9 A P L, -. ni- '1q -,..--1 ....- Eg ..-- 3-1-'Q' 1. .- Q.

In that time I was working on the Radio-Active Geomathical Propeller of the H.P. 888 Rocket Jet which I invented. Having successfully completed my endeavor, I decided a vacation with an around-the- world flight would set me right. So taking off in my newly invented airplane, my first stop was on the Hawiian Islands. When the governor came to present me the key to the fair city of Honolulu, to my surprise, whom should I see but John Barnes. After a brief stay, he said he was fed up with governmental duties and a nice vacation would do him good. He decided to accompany me. Our first stop was San Francisco. Here we learned that the Democrats were holding their National Convention. At the Convention we saw our old friends, Senators James H. Smith, John J. Williams, Jr., and Nathaniel Gaylord. Talk- ing with them we learned that Bernice Williams, Sidella Simmons, and Jessie Jones were making the picture For the Ends of Being. We left San Francisco and landed at Phoenix, Arizona for I was to give a lecture there. We were astonished at seeing Jeanne Brown who was Professor of Sociology at Leaf University. In talking to her we learned that Gus D. McNeil was pastoring Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Chicago. We then left for Chicago and landed at Matan Airport. We saw Roosevelt Peebles who was an electrical engineer at the airport. Gus McNeil told us that Janice Floyd was a celebrated Spanish Opera dancer and that Hazel Kelly was a successful housewife with three small children. Our Jet, at 2,000 M.P.H., took us to Raleigh, and naturally we would visit our Alma Mater. One significant change was that Worth Barbour was our President. We talked to Dr, Barbour and he told us that Julia Perrin was on the faculty of North Carolina State College of Raleigh, and that Louise Chavis was principal of Washington Elementary School. We left Raleigh and sped to Philadelphia. Upon landing there we were in- vited to a football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins. Blinky Brown was playing end for the Eagles. After the game we learned from Blinky that Harrod Walden and Walter Armour were Professors of Sociology and Chemistry respectively at the University of Pennsylvania. Our Jet-propelled 'Betty Mae took us to New York City. There we found Genet' Boone working in a hospital as a cancer specialist. She told us that Hadasel Wilson and Carolyn Coleman were so-editors of The Modern English Journal, We happened to be passing a national laboratory and saw familiar faces in white coats. We entered and saw Drs. Ocie Taylor, Robert Burgess, Valcria Jordan. and Herman Smith perfecting the cure for heart disease. 38 Off we were to London, England. While walking down Angle Street we saw a sign which said, Flannagan and Lee Styles. Going in we found William Flannagan and Charles Lee in their style shop. After talking a bit, Flannagan tuned in to hear Jim Turner's program featuring Claudia Herrond in Let's talk 'em to Death with Vernon Clark in his Verbal Cure for infantile paralysis. We took off and Hying at an altitude of 8,000 feet, we lowered to land in gay Parie. We went to the Club Bonne Chanson and saw Robert Jones, Jobe Best, and Earl Raynor with Les belies fillesf' We new to Nigeria, Africa to visit the mighty Niger River. We then visited the Baptist Mission and were surprised to see Vernon Herron, Ada Ruth Brown, and James R. Cobb from the General Baptist Convention of North Carolina. They told of their wonderful experiences and also that Robert Hammond and George Handy were about to complete their expedition in the unknown jungles as animal traders. We then Hew swiftly to Moscow and found Earl fDabsD Staton and Annye May Maynor as entertainers in the Kremlin. Our next stop was Hiroshima, Japan where Sallie Hayes, Fuller Murfree, and Mary Yarborough were com- pleting Einstein's theory in their bomb sight atomic plant. We visited South America and stopped in Rio de Janerio and were at once taken to the head- quarters of our American State Department. There we found Mr. and Mrs. Talmadge Cothran, the latter the former Reva Harris, engaged in public re- lations work. They informed us that George Tyler, Bill Powell, Daylene Page, Sidney Williams, and Louis English were engineers leading in the construction of an overhead highway from Bolivia to Argentina. They also informed us that Jimmy Mincey and his world champion New York Yankees were in spring training at Cruz, Chile. Homeward bound, we stopped in Long Beach, California for a rest from our long and exciting trip. We were invited to spend two weeks in the luxurious home of Mr, and Mrs. Nathaniel Jones, the latter the former Gladys Quinichett. During this period we spent several days entertaining the rest of the class of 51 not mentioned here. It was now time for me to leave for my laboratory in New Delhi and for Gov. Barnes to go to the luxury Liner, Matsonia, for his sojourn back to his duties. So long, friends, may your futures be prosperous and your success greater than prophcsized.

From this state, intensified by rainy weather and home-sickness, came the class of '51, one destined to leave an indelible account in the historic archives of Shaw University. The Class first gained the attention and applause of the University through its partici- pation in the traditional Talent Program, composed entirely of new Shawites. It was at this program that the new Shaw Family constituents made their first real contri- bution to the general college life. For here were introduced prospective elements to reinforce the already notable Dramatics and Music Departments. The Shaw University Chorale Society was strengthened by the addition of Alfred Newkirk, Carolyn Coleman, Hadasel Wilson, Dorothy Stadler, W. Littlejohn Barbour, Thelma Young, Geraldine Cheek and Ocie L. Taylor. In the realm of dramatics, Jonn Barnes distinguished himself as both an actor and capable president. In the meantime, other members of this group were giving their muscular bit towards the improvement of our Athletic Department. Our present gridiron captain, James Blinky Brown, along with Horace Burton, Robert Lee, Harry Huggins, Walter Armour and Lincoln Turner were outstanding as members of the 1947 CIAA championship team. To the roster of our basketball team were added the names Charles Wilson, Horace Burton and James' Mincy, Along with the above-mentioned contributions, the freshman Class members of 1947 added its leadership to the campus. They elected as their President, Eugene Richardson. The other of-Ficers were as follows: Vice-President, Julian Perring Secretary, Montros Booneg Treasurer, Henry Bobbittg Business Manager, Alton Powell, and Student Council representatives, James Turner and Jessie Forshe. Dean Foster P. Payne was selected to serve as Adviser. Under the efficient leadership of these persons, the infant Shawites settled down to a year of fruitful academic study and noteworthy extra-curricular participation. The success of these endeavors can best be expressed in terms of awards received by individual members of the class. The recipient of the Freshman Class Award was Ronald Searcy. Other persons awarded for outstanding achievements were Alfred Newkirk, Jeanne Brown, Mary Bailey, and Thelma Young. The following year found the number of class members somewhat altered. Although time and circumstances had taken their toll, the stable members were able and determined to carry on the work that they had so successfully started, Therefore, with well founded purposes, these new sophisticated Shaw Family members organized themselves for their sophomore year. Wil- liam D. Worley was elected President. His co-workers were Vice-President Talmadge Cochran, Secretary Nancy Gannawayg Assistant Secretary, Jeanne Browng Treasurer, Willa Price. 42 With the novelty of college worn thin and the problem of adjustment a mere psychological usage, the class members found the matter of excelling, academically and socially, no object. The class was led by Florence Boone in academic achievements, Miss Boone was recipient of the Sophomore Class Award and Miss Grace Saunders was awarded the Benjamin G. Brawley Memorial Prize. The end of the Sophomore year, found this group at the half-way point of its collegiate so- journ. With the first half completed, the class members sought leadership to guide them into the second phase of this jaunt. Mr. Nathaniel Gaylord was elected president. His aides, at the head of the class, were John Hodnett, Vice-President: Willa Price, Secretary: Mary Bailey, As- sistant Secretary: and John Barnes, Treasurer. Upon returning for their Junior Year, the class members were. at this point, ready to reap some of the fruits of their previous labor. The Alpha Omicron Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society added to its roster a number of names appearing in the '51 generation of the Shaw Family. They were Jeanne Brown, Nathaniel Gaylord, Walter Armour, Julia Perrin, Reva Har- ris, Helen Johnson, Katie Harding and John J. Williams. Jr, The entire Shaw Family saw Ht to elect Miss Jeanne Brown an official representative for the University, Miss Shaw. Miss Brown was the very first to be elected to this position, in addition Miss Brown was elected as a candi- date for Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities. The activities of the year were brought to a social closing with the sponsorship of the traditional Junior-Senior Prom. Academically, the Junior Class was led by Mrs. Katie Harding and John J. Williams, both receiving the Junior Class Award for that particular year. John Williams, former Vice-President of the Student Council, was elected to serve as president. The members of the now Senior Class prepared for the last lap of their educational journey with the election of Nathaniel Gaylord again as president. Other officers were John Barnes, Vice-Presidentg Jeanne Brown, Secretaryg Grace Hudson, Assistant Secretary and Walter Armour, Treasurer. Dean Foster P. Payne was selected as Adviser for the fourth successive year. This new school year brought with its additional honors to the members of the Class of '51. Miss Katie Leake was the second to be elected as Miss Shaw. The names of Katie Harding, Reva Harris, Vernon Herron, Alfred Newkirk, Alton Powell, Nathaniel Gaylord, Jeanne Brown, Mary Bailey and John Williams, Jr., found their way on the list of students selected as candi- dates to Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities. Thus closes the famous history of the class of 1951, a class whose worth and service to the world will depend on how well its members have digested the time tested precepts and tradi- tions of our Alma Mater, Shaw University. 43 . . -A --'r-- . , ...- ,, , 4,'-.- ,,,-..-w.u-,- 41 A. - - 1 I LQ'f'f3- f'- f.I.'.
