Behind us are the days of toil and joy which are ours alone. This very moment we honor and adore, for this celebration will never be seen again. li m mWk %v, k. So we’ll remember that the keys to success, as we narrate the true lives of each other in this publication of The Bear, are Manhood and Womanhood. As these pages of time are turned, we hope to recall and rejuvenate these idealisms and cherished memories through our uplifted spirits. JkM A ft jjTr ■ 4 PPL 1 a � Vri � y.v k v.V.%%V - -v.v.v.

If we have accomplished anything as a result of this experience, or if we are to contribute anything to the world which greets us with open arms, we owe it to our illustrious parents and guardians. Because of their untiring efforts to stand at our helm when the sea was stormy, the Senior Class proudly dedicates this issue of The Bear to our parents and guardians. 5 y. M I%%% Jp! mbjmwm 1 j � .

College days are happy days. The memory of them will linger throughout life. In college you have made rich and lasting friendships, wholesome contacts with teachers and fellow students, and you have walked with them along the paths of history, literature, science, religion and philosophy. This rich experience has widened your vision and prepared you for the larger school of life where experience is the teacher and discipline must come from within. As you pass through the portals of this historic institution you join the ranks of those who labor to make the lot of mankind better; they are social workers, teachers, doctors, ministers, and “just plain folk” who have not had your opportunity and do not share your rich heritage. Join hands and hearts with them for they are your schoolmates in the larger school of life. 5 BEAR STAFF MAE T. ADAMS Business Manager MARY DUDLEY Editor -in-Chiej HAROLD EDW.

These students, coming from eleven States and the District of Columbia, had varied interests, aspirations and objectives. Some came primarily to receive academic training, and some came to participate in extra-curricular activities as well as to receive academic training. These new students were quick to make adjustments to college life with the guidance of the orientation committee. To guide them through the first year as freshmen, they elected as their President, Thomas Armour; Secretary, Mary High; and as Advisor, Mr. ' Arthur George. Under the efficient leadership of the class officers with the assistance of their advisor, the infant Shawites settled down to a year of fruitful academic study and noteworthy extra-curricular partici- pation. The members of the class of ’53 strengthened the already notable music and dramatics departments. The Shaw University Chorale Society was reinforced by such personalities as Ella White, Aquilla Hairston, Judith Combo, James Alexander, Shirley Shannon, Gloria Kershaw, Mary Dudley, Helen Thompson, Dorothy Hodges, Billie Bland, Elmer Van Clark, Elsie Saunders, Ann Matthews, Rachel Jones, Oliver Lancaster, Diana Dunn, Frances Bronson, and Tullie Bazemore. In the realm of dra- matics, Jeanette Stephenson served as capable president for a year and later as vice-president of the Shaw Players. Other members of the class belonging to the Shaw Players participated in some of the plays which were given. In the meantime, other members of the class were busy strengthening the Athletic Department. John Thomas, Thomas Armour, George Singfield, John Rascoe, Wilson Chambers and William Alexander gave their muscular strength to the football team. To the roster of the basketball team were added the names of Elmer Clark, our present captain; Alphonso Wilson, Edward Smith, Ernest Middleton and Walter Robinson. The success of these endeavors can best be seen in terms of the large numbers of freshmen on the honor roll as the year ended, and in terms of awards received by individual members of the class. The recipients of the Freshman Class Awards were Dorothy Turner and Donald Davis. Other persons awarded for outstanding achievements were Bessie Perry, Annie L. Shaw, Tullie Bazemore and James Alexander. The second year, though fewer in number, the members of the class were able and more determined to carry on the work that they had so successfully started. They elected officers to plan and steer them through a successful sophomore year. John Rascoe was elected president; Shirley Shannon, Secretary; Mr. George was again selectedadvisor. Now well adjusted to college life, the class members found that they had no trouble excelling, academically and socially. The class was led by Lorine Harris and Dorothy Turner in academic achievements. They were recipients of the Sophomore Class Awards. Dorothy Turner was also awarded the Dr. Nelson H. Harris Prize, and John Rascoe was awarded the Benjamin G. Brawley Memorial Prize. The class members now sought leadership to guide them in the third year of their educational journey. George Singfield was elected President; Maxine Hoover, Secretary; Mrs. Norma Gaillard, Advisor. It was during this year that Harriet Nunn, Annie L. Shaw, Lorine Harris, Judith Combo, Dorothy Turner, Hobart Price and James Alexander became members of the Alpha Omicron Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society. Members of the class who became members of Who’s Who Among American Colleges and Universities were: Shirley Shannon, Annie L. Shaw, Oliver Lancaster, and Gloria Kershaw. Academically, the Junior Class was led by Dorothy Turner and James Alexander, both receiving the Junior Class Awards for that particular year. John Rascoe was elected to serve as President of the Student Council. The activities of the year closed with the sponsorship of the traditional Junior-Senior Prom which was a heel-clicking success. As the Senior Class now prepared for the last year of their collegiate sojourn, they elected George Singfield again as President. Helen Ragland was elected as Secretary, and Mr. Samuel Green as Advisor. During this senior year, the members of the class of ’53 received additional honors. Seven members of the class were selected as candidates to Who’s Who Among American Colleges and Universities. They were Harriet Nunn, James Alexander, John Rascoe, Shirley Shannon, Annie L. Shaw, Alphonso Wilson, and Oliver Lancaster. Another of our group, Eleanor P. Adams, became a member of the Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society. Thus closes the history of the famous class of 1953, a class which has endeavored to uphold the principles of Shaw University, and one which we hope will- reach greater heights and achieve nobler deeds to the honor and glory of its Alma Mater.

WELCOME MESSAGE “Alma Mater,” “Alma Mater”: A great Institution is measured — first, by its great objective; second, by the quality of the men and women it sends forth; and third, by the willingness of these men and women to help the Institution to ' send forth more men and women like themselves. The Shaw National Alumni Association is delighted to welcome the class of 1953 into the fellowship of educated men and women and into a broader and larger life filled with uncounted, and un-thought-of opportunities. This larger door of opportunities was opened and made possible by inspired thoughts and sacrificial giving of generations who preceded you. Henry Martin Tuppcr who “counted not his life dear unto himself,” that this larger door might be opened today to you. A great host of early Christian friends who followed him with sacrificial blood and sweat now symbolized in brick and mortar . . . Yes, a host of instructors and more than ten thousand graduates who- have preceded you bear testimony to this truth — that these buildings on the Shaw campus will offer nurture and culture to young men and women for ages to come. More than three thousand living alumni pray God’s richest benediction upon your pathway into this larger field, not only, bu t also, we welcome you to become an active member of the Alumni Living Endowment Fellowship. The greatest work of our Alma Mater lies ahead of us. We welcome you to become one of the links in making these future possibilities a living reality. Gillis E. Cheek, Executive Secretary The Shaw National Alumni Association , Inc. 29 CLASS PROPHESY One sunny day in June, we boarded a special built helicopter which was equipped with a special made ultra-modern Shawlevision which would focus any person of the ’53 Shaw Class within a radius of 25 miles of its aerial. This unique plane was designed by the famous Samuel Boyd and Keystcr Person and was piloted by Lts. Fannie Burt and Louise Matthews of W.A.F. fame. We left the New International Airline Airport in Youth Springs, Florida, for Georgia. Flying across the state of Florida, our Shawlevision picked up the former Gloria Kershaw, who was being honored at a testimonial dinner at the Lord Calvert’s Hotel for being chosen personal Aide to the new President of the United States, Ann Shaw. Present at the dinner were Senators Joseph Bullock and Lorine Harris; Speaker of the House, John Rascoe; Vice-President, Dorothy Ford; Secretary of Interior, Walter Taylor; President of the National Parent Teachers Association, Marjorie Brown; Director of Marriage Bureau for Rural Women, Oliver Lancaster; and Dr. Isaac Hunt, orthopedic specialist. After leaving Florida, we flew to Georgia to the New Atomic Energy Plant where we found Drs. Judith Combo and Hobart Price who were experimenting to find a cure for coryza from the onion, and Drs. Harriet Nunn and Mae Thelma Adams who had devised a new particle which changed all former atomic theories. Flying over one of the state’s largest ball parks, we saw Harry Callendar, manager of the Georgia Crackers and Mary Brooks, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, sitting in their respective dugouts, watching their teams battle it out. Incidentally, the shortstop for the Georgia Crackers was Wilson Chambers. Our plane glided smoothly to Tennessee where our Shawlevision focused on Lt. Charles C. Alston, his wife, the former Mary Dudley, and the former Rose Williams whose husband was pastoring one of the largest churches there. As we zoomed over Nashville, we saw Lawyer John T. Hood in his office talking to one of his best clients, Emma McDowell who was seeking her eighth divorce. Passing through North Carolina, we glimpsed the “Vines Elementary School,” established by Snowdy Vines of Tarboro, and Harold Newell, president of North Carolina College at Durham. We decided that before leaving North Carolina, we must see our Alma Mater, which we had not returned to since graduating. The whole campus, it seemed, had undergone a radical change. Coming out of the new building labeled “Department of Languages,” were Drs. Otassie Moore and Eleanor Adams, associate heads of the language department. We left North Carolina enroute to Washington, D. C. There our Shawlevision picked up Alphonso Wilson, who was a mathematical computer in the area of Vector Analysis. We circled Walter Reed Hospital just in time to see Nurses Sarah Reese and Grayce Hall hurry into the building. Walking through Capitol Square were George Singfield and William Alexander who were waiting for the government to establish a position important enough for them to hold, while all their expenses were being paid by our taxes. Passing over Maryland quite hurriedly, we glimpsed Billie F. Jones, professor of English and Dramatics at Morgan State College. Leaving Maryland, we saw Jeanette Stephenson, a tree surgeon in her home state, New Jersey, inspecting diseased -trees in one of the state’s largest parks. Our Shawlevision focused on a picture of Vermelle Diamond, a Powers Model, on the cover of a current magazine edited by Betty McCollum. Escorting Albert Einstein to his laboratory were Helen Hunt and Everlene Whitt, his understudies. At that time the picture changed to the great Diane Dunn and her famous speech choir, “The Vocalettes” on their weekly broadcast. On 34th Street, we saw an Interior Decorating School operated by Tullie Bazemore and Claudia Morgan. We decided to land and eat dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Also we hopped to Alaska to see if any of the members of the class of ’53 were making their homes there. School was in session and there we saw Elsie Saunders teaching her sixth grade pupils a new song. We then looked into other wings of the building and saw Ora Lee Smith and Mary McNeil. The weather in Alaska was so frigid that we had to make a quick flight to California to thaw out. Of course, we wanted to see if any of our classmates were in Flollywood. Our Shawlevision focused on Helen Thompson, who was working on her latest picture, “Till the Cows Come Home.” Helen Ragland was also on the set. She was employed by M.G.M. and had just returned from an around- the-world tour. Changing the scene to Paramount, Inc., we saw Nina M. Keyes and Hazel B. Little who were designers for Paramount. Their models were seen in “The Day Before,” starring none other than Paltine Horton and John Reid. 30 m Leaving California, we went to Texas where our screen showed clearly Dorothy Leggett, who was married to a renowned chemist. Both were working at Western University, on the campus of which the morticians were having a convention. We saw John Lockley, who was the owner of one of the nation’s largest mortician establishments. Moving across the state we saw Joan Granger who was married to a cattle rancher. Victoria Lambson and Agartha Powell were the next ones we saw on our Shawlevision. They were managers of the “All Star Girls’ Basketball Team.” Vivienne Brown was the owner and director of a recreational center and resort in El Paso. Before leaving the “Lone Star State,” we landed for additional fuel and supplies before beginning our journey over the ocean. Upon nearing Haiti, we were awakened by static from our Shawlevision in time to see Celestine Williams. She had joined her husband who was doing missionary work there. South America was the next place we flew over and there we saw Kenneth Sandiford, who, with his famous dancing group, was touring South America. Dining there were Dorothy Turner and Willie Ennis, professors at Cornell University; Mildred Wagstaff, who was chosen outstanding woman ath- lete of the year; and Ernestine Fields who was the recipient of the “Gaines Award” for the best socio- logical novel of the decade. Leaving the hotel we bumped into Rev. James Alexander who had recently returned from a tour of Europe and was succeeding Father Divine. We boarded our helicopter enroute to Connecticut. From the air we viewed a large building and adjusted our Shawlevision to see the name. Much to our surprise, it was “The Major Lee Printing Company, Inc.” We saw among its employees, Lillian Tyner and Evelyn Stephenson and approaching the doors were Susie Jones and Doris Griffen with a cook book for brides with 500 new recipes, which they had just compiled. Looking into our Shawlevision again, in Massachusetts, we saw Annie L. Mims, director of Music at the Boston Conservatory, conversing with the former Frances Bronson, composer, who had recently “finished” the “Unfinished Symphony.” Hopping to Ohio, in Cleveland, we saw Almeta Armstrong strolling along High Street with her husband, the great track star Jimmy Lee. In Illinois, we viewed, on our Shawlevision, the largest “Kiddies Shop” in Illinois, which was operated by Evelyn Barr and Hilda Brewer. Mrs. Irene Lane, wife of one of the nation’s most suc- cessful dentists, was enjoying life in their luxurious home. In Nevada, our main attraction was the “ideal village” developed by Charles Arrington on the outskirts of Reno. One of its most prominent features was the business district. We left Nevada bound for Canada, especially to see the famous scientists, Issac Moore and Ozander received international fame by crossing a cat and a dog, thus giving us a new animal, ‘the cado. ■ rChng , Ia r ai K- V I e wer -attracted by a swarm of beautiful women, shown on our Shawlevision in the midst of which was Elmer Van Clark, the most sought after bachelor in America, who wm spending his vacation there. We left Hawaii for Japan where we saw Constance Wood and Marie Singleton who were editors for a renowned American magazine there. In China, we saw one of the largest and most prosperous of American enterprises, a designers’ school operated by two of our former classmates, Juanita Burnett and Juanita Glenn. From China we flew to India where on the main street of Delhi, we saw Charles Freeman selling voo-doo and charming snakes. We also saw Juanita Mangum modeling some of the latest Indian Hrmc n t. s wh u ere ' vc saw Agnes Alston, who uses her maiden name for business and other purposes, sitting in her backyard chatting with relatives. Quite hurriedly, we viewed France. Glimpsing an outdoor movie, Farmer, who was a celebrated French actress. we saw, playing the lead, Ann were The last country we visited was England where we found Lovie Howard and husband, who rojal guests there, and Rachel Jones, an American concert artist, who was touring Europe. Enroute home, we left England, exhausted but thrilled at having seen so many of our classmates ad looked forward to ernnd old TK 4 rvoo au — - . lc: , and looked forward to good old U.S.A. Crossing the Atlantic, giving us no warning at all, the engine cut off. Before we could gain our equilibrium, our helicopter sank and in a few minutes not of us could be seen. ’ a trace That was enough to awaken onyone. What a dream that was!

Judith Combo Oliver Lancaster CLASS SONG (Tune: “You’ll Never Walk Alone”) We have finally come to the point in the road That leads to a broader life. We have tried to prepare, with hearts that are true Ourselves for our future strife. We’ve laughed and we’ve cried, we’ve cast things aside, We have had a taste of life. Dear Shaw has giv’n to us the things which we’ll always keep within; The things with which to win. The friends we have made will remain in our hearts After we go our separate way. With memories fond, and faith that’s sincere, We can say, “Let come what may.” The toil may be hard, our paths may be steep, and our burdens hard to bare; But we’ve gain from Shaw the strength to withstand What e’er our lot may be. Dear Shaw we cherish thee ! We won’t say goodbye, we’ll just say so long, For some day we will surely return. The fire of love, you have set in our hearts, In our spirits always will burn. We give thee our thanks, we leave thee our prayers, and we pledge our loyalty. Dear Shaw, you’ve giv’n to us the things which we’ll always keep within; The things with which to win! Gloria A.

She would be the possessor of the following qualities: | Hair that is the gift of angels as exhibited by Everlyn Whitt; velvet-textured complexion of Victoria Lambson and the enchanting eyes of Dorothy Leggett; the enticing smile of Otassie Moore; the kissable lips of Shirley Shannon; the curvacious figure and limbs of Mary Dickerson; the grace and poise of Diane Dunn; the intellectual prowess and personality of Judith Combo, all supported by the feet of Betty McCollum. She would be possessing the wardrobe of ermellc Diamond; neat in appearance as Mary Dudley; the sex appeal of Billie Jones and the comer sational assets of Vivienne Brown. She is dreamingly visualized, standing on the balcony of our ultra-modern home, overlooking the topaz blue lake, caressed by the silvery beams of a romantic moon and listening to the rapturous (• music of the heavens. She is just short of being an angel. HE ' $ MY IDEAL BOY Missing — one member of the Senior Class whose description displays the following ideal features. He has the height and physique of George Singfield, with hair as lustrous as Harry Callander s. His complexion is the exact duplicate of John Hood’s and his eyes have that sparkling feature of Charles Alston’s. His smile and voice give the eye and ear the same focus and vibration, respectively , as does Elmer Van Clark’s. His popularity equals that of John Rascoe’s and his personality compares to the Nth degree with that possessed by Oliver Lancaster. At all times he possesses the neat appearance of Alphonso Wilson and his scholastic ability equals that displayed by James Alexander. On the dance floor his ability is analogous to that of Kenneth Sandiford and he possesses a love for sports similar to that of William Alexander. If such a person is found please contact the Senior Class im- mediately, for he is wanted to portray the role of “My Ideal.” WEST CAMPUS ! ■� -’ fc. 1 STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION jAmuELYM V )U LIVER Lanca steR ■ • ■ Co-Chairmen Tf a d xwell t cretary ” Miss Madfi vw w ; Business Manager Watson, Mr. Herschel Irons Advisors QUEEN OF THE SHAW FAMILY university chorale society William Hyman Gloria Kershaw.
