Religion Time changes many things and later the meaning changes along with time. We have tried to capture some of the moments that have been instru- mental in building the memories of the past year at Dear Old Shaw U. The cream of our college days is yet to be skimmed by the unseen fates that await us somewhere in the future. We know not how we shall be judged, but we have thrust forth our purest hands. As we turn the following pages, we see the moving forces that have made for a certain exactness in the pattern of our college lives. Success and failure, crisis and decision, time and circumstances, bitter- sweet happiness of class-work, chit-chat in the Campus Inn, these little things, among countless others, are what we remember most from our college years. THE EDITOR ALMA METER Tune: g'How can I leave thee. Hail dear old Shaw U! Thy sons revere thy name Long shall thy works be proud, Undimmed thy fame Time shall thy praises sing, Glory repay thy tears, And loud thy praises ring Through all the years. Noble thy hall ways, Noble thy grassy plain, Nobler the hearts of men Where thou dost reign, All we who love thy name, Stout hearts that shall not fail, All rise and loud proclaim Alma Mater, hail! 5 i fl I '-v-u ,m ix.: 1 ww Farewell to lhe Graduates-1961 Entering the School of Life! College days are happy days. The memory of them will linger through- out life. In college you have made rich and lasting friendships, wholesome contacts with teachers and fellow students, and through countless books you have communed with the scholars of the ages. Your comrades in the search for truth have walked with you along the paths of history, over the sunlit fields of literature, into the depths of scientific investigation, and beside the still waters of religion and philosophy. This four-year sojourn has widened your horizon and prepared you for the larger school of life where experience is the teacher, discipline must come from within, and where your comrades will be those who are striving to build a better world. Join hands with them! Always do your best! And, with hope and courage, make your contribution of unselfish service to mankind! WILLIAM R. STRASSNER President 6 11-.i-1, 1 I Y I ?

STRAssNER F' ff, DEDICHTIO Dean Blalock, we have selected you from the rank of commendable persons that we have had the honor of becoming acquainted with during our four years at Shaw University, because your accomplishments, in particular, have inspired us. To a man who has sacrificed much of his first love-teaching-to become an equally able administrator, To a man who is tolerant of the views of others, who has the ability to disagree without being disagreeable, To a man whom students and all respect and admire in his efforts to make Shaw University a better place to live and learn, To Dean Charles W. Blalock, we sincerely dedicate the 1961 BEAR. 8 Q L S 5 i Q 14-'rr ya-Q.,,1,,, .,. ,U- li' n ii- ' 1 A - , ' ' Al X ,, , '-,-. , L .-.W ..-+,rfg. , f 1 ., '.

After graduation, Lynous Hall and Herman Latta worked diligently to design a space car. This year, 1971, marks the introduction of this new commercial space car-The Qu-Phita. Because of his distin- quished service in the Air Force, the designers have chosen lsiah Boykin to be the test pilot of Qu-Phita. Upon receiving the invitation from the designers, 1, Delois McKay readily took time out from my position as supervisor of the Lynchburg Public schools to accompany them on this test flight. We met at the testing ground in Rhode Island. Naturally, when Shawites get together, the principal topic is Shaw and its graduates. Since the maximum speed of the new Qu-Phita is 1.000 miles per second, we decided that we could easily see all of the 1961 graduates in less than a day. Of course we needed to regulate the speed. First we visited foreign countries, because many of our classmates have ventured far. We can now travel freely over all the continents. Mainly through the efforts of William Peace, United Nations Mediator, and Jerimiah Walker, Secretary General of the United Nations many inter- national entanglements have been alleviated. ln the Moscow Courthouse, we find Sherman Barge. the great lawyer who has won his fourth case in three months. His two eflicient secre- taries are Marye Grant and Vernetta Nickerson. A few blocks from the courthouse we see Janie Everett, director of special education, and Frank Baker, head of Moscow's Athletic Department. Everywhere we turn in Russia, we find evidence of Shaw and especially of the contribution of our classmates. Glancing through the newspaper, Truth Unabridged, we find that the editor and journalist is none other than Margaret Williams. Believe it or not. there is a large American military base in Moscow. On the base we find Lizzie Wilson, director of Dostoyevs-ky's Kindergarten. Teaching the children of American servicemen are Elnora Piggie and lola Williams. A ten-minute flight in the Qu-Phita takes us to England. There we find Willie Lassiter studying at Oxford University, where, incidentally, Gladys Johnson is professor of Mathematics. Willie informs us that Tyrone Reece is now a brilliant surgeon in Vienna, Austria. We learn that Donald Ensley is head of the Austrian Health Department. Social workers in this department are Barbara Woods and Catherine Davis. To our surprise we discover that Carter Hicks and Sylvia Canada are married. Carter owns a large trucking firm. A few minutes' flight lands us in Paris. Esther Sneed is fashion de- signer for the House of Dior. Mary Alice Sanders is one of Dior's excel- lent seamstresses. As if this is not enough, Joyce Sutton and Ann Mack are the most famous Parisian models, At Dior's fashion show we Hnd Laura Majette, Marjorie Hood, and Betty Davis: they do not live here, but they have stopped over on their trip around the world. Since our class has always been noted for its unitedness, we have no trouble in locating classmates. Upon being informed that we have two more class- mates in France. we head for the University of Paris where we see the former Carrie Lowery who is teaching French, also on the faculty is her husband, Robert Neal. head of the Mathematics department, Qu-Phita takes us to the once dark continent, Africa. The revolutions have ceased now br-cause Albert Sampson and Abraham Walton have converted the Africans to Christianity and have led them to heights of civilization. Delois Nobles is also a religious missionary there. Janice Demory, Barbara Waddell, and Elf-ster Brandon have established a free elementary school for underprivileged Africans. While inspecting their school, they tell us that Marjorie Crcdle, Grover Cordell and Willie Mae Griffin are in Asia. Marjorie is head of the Laosian Medical Research Center in Laos. Cordell is her assistant and Willie Mae is their medical secretary. Boykin now speeds the Qu-Phita so that we arrive in Hawaii in five minutes. lt was no surprise to find Sylvia Sifford, our class valedictorian as the head of the English department at the University of Hawaii. Clarence Yancey is president of Yancey's Pineapple Company. Ora Lee Johnson who is now Mrs. Yancey is Chief Assistant to the President. Qu-Phita is well equipped with modern conveniences. En route to El Paso, we turned on the television to see the National Football League Championship game between the New York Giants and the Baltimore Colts. Glenn Knight has just caught the pass which set up the winning touchdown, in spite of the best efforts of Al Glascoe who has replaced Big Daddy Lipscomb of the Colts. When we arrived in Texas, we found alumni of Shaw University having a benefit for Shaw at the Reynolds Coliseum in El Paso. The entertain- ment consisted of performance by the Mosley Trio, with Charles Mosley, Mary Williams and Julia Hammonds. Patricia Kimbrough and Betty Wright were starring in the major production of the season. Sewing as their business manager is Paul Hamilton. Enjoying this fabulous enter- tainment were Christine Whitted. head dietitian at Goldsboro State Hos- pitalg Jessie Baldwin. commercial artist for NBC television. Mamie Johnson, wife of a Texas oil man. Patricia Thomas, teacher of special education and chairman of the Shaw Fund. Hattie Hockaday, secretary and housewife, Ray Monk and Joe Louis Gray, experts in guerilla war- fare in the French Foreign Legion: Roland Perry. pastor of Fifth Baptist Church and Lucy Bunche, national president of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. This group of Shawites raise 350,000 annually for Shaw University. Herman Latta suggests that we Hy over to California. There we find Juanita Dancy designing clothes for Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer. Delois Mur- phy is a journalist for Hollywood's noted magazine, Screen. Lucille Batts is working in Sacramento as a home economist. Velma Adams is a cosmetologist at M G M studios. She and Ann Hall are part time secretaries to Fred Suggs. a great Hollywood producer. A minute High! takes us to Seattle, Washington. where we End that Mary Murray, Rixiane Winborne and David Cobbs are great research Mathematicians. The bright lights and the skyscrapers of New York City loom ahead. Our city classmates could not remain for long in the country. Joe Smalls and Preston McClain have established a physical fitness school. William Modeste is here playing with the New York Knickerbockers. Verlene Copeland. Ednell Thornton, Barbara Debnam and Salina Spencer are teaching at a juvenile home called Children's Village in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Washington, D. C., is our next stop. Here we learn that Crawford Smith is the new Congressman and Lavonne Bivens is his secretary. Doris Taylor is the lovely librarian at the Library of Congress. She recently earned her doctorate in library science at Atlanta University. Lawrence Allen is the Chief Legal Counselor of the N.A.A.C.P. Over in Baltimore is Joseph Mann who has finally realized his dream. He is the adminis- trator of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. You guessed correctly. Marjorie Green is his secretary. On our way back to Shaw, we stopped at Alexandria Virginia. We were amazed to find that Melo Jones was now an outstanding principal. partially because of his facultyq namely: Frances Stokes, Francine Carr, Janet Caldwell, Elnora Piggie, Fidie Rudd and Carolyn High. The Centennnial Fund set up by our class gives Shaw one million dollars a year for improvement. Thus by 1971, we see a new Shaw. The enrollment is now five thousand. There are numerous beautiful buildings and specihc dormitories for each class. Tupper and Convention Halls are buildings of the past. Six well furnished buildings replace them. The President, Dr. Reginald Mercer seems to be well qualified. The students no longer complain about food because La Vonne Morgan has created miraculous changes as dietitian of Shaw University dining hall. Etta Davis has joined Mrs. Cofield in the Education Department. Gee, it is almost dusk now. Our trip on the Qu-Phita has been wonderful. ln a few months all of our classmates will have one. Then we can visit each other often. Oh we are back in Lynchburg already. Good-bye Lyn and Merman. 1 hope you have a safe trip home. 110 CLASS POEM NAdieu From near and far came we here, To accomplish one great taskg Through tears and sorrows we have Come to reach this point at last. There shone a light that beckoned Us to your dear walls-Shaw U. And though it breaks our hears To leave, we must bid you adieu. Our time to part has finally come And with tear-filled eyes we greet it, For we realize that time goes on, And we must progress with it. We leave with hearts and minds Fulfilled, with thy great gifts you see, Because you helped us realize That from dreams we can carve Our destinies. JANICE Y. DEMORY CLASS SONG Tune: hDanny Boyw Hail Dear Shaw U., departure is before us nowg We've laughed, we've cried, we've had our ups and downs, Weive gained from thee the things we need on which to stand, And all the strength you've held within your hand. Chorus: We'll bid farewell to thee our Alma Mater, But we'll return to noble 01' Shaw U., Having lifted our voices, as we've reached for higher heightsg We'll neier forget thee, not for once, Ol' Dear Shaw U. To our dear friends we say to you with deep regret, We leave you now but please do not forget, The memories will always linger in our hearts, The time has come and surely we must part.
