DONATED BY Dr. Brenda E- Kee In memory of Dr. THOMAS E. KEE . UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES JAMES E. CHEEK LIBRARY Shaw University rr r ■ ' %v ■ 8T THE BEAR THIS IS SHAW UNIVERSITY Raleigh. North Carolina FOREWORD This has been a successful and very wonderful year for the students of Shaw University. The 1962 senior class has worked very hard to keep the spirit and the traditions of Shaw University alive. It is with this copy of THE BEAR that we have tried to capture a few of our most memorable moments during our four year stay here. Our goal is to present to you our readers a true-to-life pic- ture of those things that we feel are true repre- sentatives of our beloved ninety-four year old in- stitution. May you the readers, in the years to come, remi- nisce with a smile the joys, pleasures, and thrills that your four years of training have given to you. If this is done, then the aim of THE BEAR has served its purpose. UNIVERSITY CHURCH CONTENTS UNIVERSITY SHIELD LET ' S GET IN THE WIND Dear Readers, We, your annual staff, hope you treasure these verbal and picturesque memories as much as we value the honor of being chosen to summarize and present to you, the student body, this souvenir of our school year 1961 — 62. It may sound funny but I am quite happy that the 1961 — 62 Bear is finally taking its bow. We have as our goal to portray in a meaningful and most appealing manner our Alma Mater. The combined decisions of many people made this year ' s production possible. Many required decisions were made through the guidance of Mrs. Cofield, Mrs. Newell and Mr. Cook, our yearbook advisors, whom I turned to for much assistance. Mr. Hinton, of Raleigh and Mr. Rivera, of Durham made possible the pictures, and the finished product was a result of the excellent work done by the American Year- book Company, Hannibal, Missouri. As editor, I wish to take this opportunity to thank my freshman, sophomore, junior and senior colleagues for their constant words of encouragement. May this edition of the Shaw Bear serve as an incentive for each of you to strive zealously, courageously and intelligently until your highest ambition is reached. Sincerely yours, Editor-in-Chief ■ . WE DEDICATE OUR ANNUAL To you Mother because you always served as our inspiration, because you always had the right word when we were low, because you had faith in ns to the very end, because you could never let us down . . . To you Father, who constantly served as our strength, who gave your all at every opportunity, who never complained when times got hard, who always found us another way ... To you both because you helped us attain our most cherished goal, because you arc the greatest in the world, but most of all because we love you so much, we thank God for you and DEDICATE this our yearbook to you, our beloved parents. ' in Dr. William L. Greene Trustee Mrs. Mamie Paisley Dormitorv Hostess n ' m f d Rev. Joshua Ximmo Trustee Dr. William Green. Mrs. Mamie Paisley, and Rev. Joshua Ximmo shall always be remembered by all who knew them. Helping to speed the cause of our school is how thev will be remembered. DMINISTRATION ' OUR PRESIDENT SPEAKS . . . DR. WILLIAM R. STRASSNER During your college career you have been cloistered, protected, and guided in your quest for an education. You now enter into a world that will show you no favors, nor shield you from the dangers and difficulties that will clutter your pathway. Your success will depend upon your own equipment, and the world will richly re- ward you in proportion to the efficient service which you unself- ishly render to your fellowmen. Mrs. Marie Frances Strassner President ' s Wife Dr. Leonard E. McCauley, Sr. Board Member BOARD OF TRUSTEES feft Dr. John H. Tilley DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS Mr. Demetrious H. Keck UNIVERSITY SECRETARY Mr. John V. Anderson BUSINESS MANAGER 13 CLASS HISTORY September II, 1958, marked the beginning of an adventurous and challenging journey for approximately 199 freshman students at Shaw University. Each bright-eyed individual possessed an ever increasing quest for learning. Our week of orientation was most en- joyable and enlightening. It was not long before we were well-orientated into the Shaw Family, and soon we began to wonder if we knew anything about anything David Forbes was elected president of the freshman class The first year moved very quickly. Christmas came, and we were all glad to get away for a while so that we could enjoy the holidays, while working on many assignments for our teachers. In January 1959, we took our semester examinations. On the sur- face they did not appear to be hard but when the grades were posted they told a different story. Nevertheless, we continued our journey into the various fields of interests. Along with us we took such tools as determination, mental and physical vigor, decisiveness, and en- thusiasm, as we were determined to be a success. Many of us were outstanding that year. In the area of sports, we were well represented by Clavin McDowell, Charles Davis, Leslie Camm, Otis Clark, Hayzel Robinson, James Ballard, Otis Tucker, Martin Smith, Lawson Terrell, Leon Waddell, Charles Sparks, Earl Anderson, Samuel Raper, Jimmy Bassett, and Robert McCory. Cheerleaders were Norma Hardin and Cynthia Williams who con- stantly boosted the teams on to victory, Our class contributed many melodious voices to the Chorale Soci- ety. Joining the Society were Jean Home, Elease Wombic, Thelma Cowan, Annie Faison, James Ballard, Leslie Camm, Luther Doudy, Johnny Jeffreys, Frances Mullins, Leroy Waters, Robert McCory and Otis Tucker. Many of our class members were bubbling over with joy when they made the spring tour with the Chorale Society. Our class was entertained with many actresses and actors. Surpris- ingly as it may seem many of them came directly from our freshman class. The new members of the Shaw Players were Pauline Watkins, Edward Mason, Jean Home, Connie Blanks, James Ballard, Shed- rick Barrow, and Vernon Smalls. Representing the class in the Shaw Players ' major production, Elizabeth The Queen, were Pauline Watikins, Vernon Smalls, Edward Mason, Shedrick Barrow, Jean Home, Johnny Jeffreys, Louis Powell, and Walter Nobles. The lovely, Bettie Ridley was Miss Freshman, and Yvonne Seawell Hicks and Bettie Holden Hudson were her attendants. The charming Ella Williams was chosen sweetheart of the Crescent Club. Our class was gifted with several scholars. Bettie Ridley received all A ' s. Other freshmen who were the recipients of scholarships and awards were Edward Mason, recipient of the Freshman Scholar- ship ; Vamell Lewis who received the Home Economics Award ; Ruby Pinchback recipient of the North Carolina Congress of Par- ents and Teachers Scholarship, and Doris Taylor who received the Delta Sigma Thcta Sorority Award. During our Sophomore year, we felt like mature, sophisticated students. Each of us was determined to increase his or her self-disci- pline and to buckle down. Studies had herome harder and more time-consuming than in the first year James Ballard was elected as president of our sophomore class. Frances Mullins, Ruby Pinchbark, and Louis Powell were Student Council Representatives. As a result of our ingenuity, we were still considered outstanding in the field of sports. In the main production of the Shaw Players, Our Town, talent was displayed by Thelma Cowan, Pauline Watkins, Connie Blanks, Johnny Jeffreys, Edward Mason, Alice Mitchell, Vernon Smalls, and David Forbes. Recipients of the Intercollegiate Drama Association Certificated for two years service with the Shaw Players were Ed- ward Mason, Jean Home, Pauline Watkins, and Vernon Smalls. The charming, Vamell Lewis was chosen Miss Sophomore. Lois Lane was chosen Sweetheart of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. The May Court was enchanted by the beauty of Yvonne Seawell as May Queen, Some of the members of our class were successful in crossing into the land of Greckdom, a desire of almost every college man and woman. Entering Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority were Jean Home and Vamell Lewis. Delta Sigma Thcta Sorority welcomed Frances Mul- lins, Gloria Nimmo, Pauline Watkins, Ernestine Moore, and Norma Hardin. The new member of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was Lois Lane. Alpha Kappa Alpha welcomed into their ranks Barbara Smith, Priscilla Robinson, Bettie Ridley, Cynthia Williams, Georgia Exum, Bettie Holden Hudson, Yvonne Seawell Hicks, and Gloria Autry. The three dogs who entered Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity were Luther Dowdy, Vernon Smalls, and Edward Mason. Charles Davis, and Calvin McDowell entered the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Entering the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity were Louis Powell, Isaac Fox, Leroy Waters, James Ballard, and Leslie Camm. Some of the members of our class made the Special Privileged Honor Roll during this year. Sophomore Awards were granted to James Ballard and Bettie Ridley. Louis Powell rereived a grant from Phi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Bettie Ridley rei rived the Dr. Nelson Harris Prize in Educational Psychology. The Dr. Wendell C. Sommerville Scholarship was granted to Ed- ward Mason ITndei the leadership of Edward Mason, President of the Junior Class, the junior year proved to be an active one Frances Mullins and Varnell were elected to represent our class in the Student Council. Two juniors, Bettie Ridley and James Ballard were elected to Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society. Incidentally this is a national society. Yvonne Seawell Hicks, Bettie Ridley. Edward Mason, Leroy Waters, and Jean Home held offices in the Student Council. The Junior class was very proud to have a classmate chosen Miss Shaw University. This was in the person of Bettie Ridley. She was crowned Miss Shaw University for I960 — 61. Another junior, Lois Lane, was an attendant. Other queens chosen this year were: Lois Lane who was chosen as Miss Phi Beta Sigma; Yvonne Seawell, Miss Football, and Lillian Tillery, Miss Pan Hellenic Council. Alice Mitchel was chosen as Miss Junior and Miss Ella Williams and Miss Jean Home were her attendants. Members of the class who were selected to serve as Junior Counse- lors, were David Forbes, Bettie Ridley, Ernestine Morre, and Gloria Nimmo. Edward Mason and Bettie Ridley were the two juniors selected to Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Again our class was fortunate to possess recipients of several scholarships and awards. Elease Womble the Emily Morgan Kelly Prize. Luther Dowdy was recipient of a Rockefeller Grant which can also be used in the graduate school that he chooses to attend. James Ballou was recipient of the Trens Award. Bettie Ridley re- ceived a scholarship from the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Cynthia Williams was awarded the Dr. Benjamin Brawley Memorial Prize. Pauline Watkins made a great hit in the Shaw Players ' major pro- duction, Corne Back Little Sheba. Other class members participat- ing in the production were Alice Mitchell and Johnny Jeffreys. Our year was highlighted with our presentation of the Junior- Senior Prom, Stairway to the Stars. This event was an affair to be remembered. The role of leadership was then placed in the hands of the senior class with Edward Mason as president, Leslie Camm as vice-presi- dent, Ruby Pinchback as secretary, Leroy Waters as treasurer, and Luther Dowdy as editor-in-chief of the Shaw Bear. The role of leadership was a great challenge, but one which had to be accepted in order to enhance the ideals and traditions of Shaw University. Seniors steered the programs of many of the leading organiza- tions. Highlighting the year was the coronation of Gloria Nimma as Miss Shaw University for 1961—62 with Pauline Watkins and Lois Lane as her attendants. Another outstanding event was the installation of David Forbes as the president of the student council and Edwaid Mason as vice president. Cynthia Williams gained many compliments as editor-in-chief of the Shaw Journal. Bettie Ridley. David Forbes, and Gloria Nimmo continued their work as Junior Counselors with Frances Mullins, Pauline Watkins, Leroy Waters, and Edward Mason as newly elected members. Leslie Camm was elected president of the University Chorale So- ciety with Elease Womble, Doretha Williams, and Luther Dowdy captivating the hearts of music lovers across the country with their wonderful solos. Congratulations go to Ruby Pinchback for her accomplishment of Superintendent of the University Sunday School. This year marks the second year that Edward Mason has held the office as president of the Shaw Players. The major production, The Silver Cord, gave Genell Todd an excellent opportunity to display her dramatir ability in the leading role, Hats off to Jean Home for her excellent work as president of the Women ' s Personnel Council for the second consecutive year. Robert Morman did a wonderful job as president of the Student National Educational Association. Cheers to Cynthia Williams and Norma Hardin as captain and co-captain of the Cheering Squad for two consecutive years as they led the teams to victory with Otis Clark (Mr. All American) and Hayzel Robinson as captains. Many seniors became queens this year Cozy Woods was chosen Miss Senior with Barbara Smith and Ruby Early as her attendants. Bettie Ridley was chosen Miss Alpha Phi Alpha. Pauline Watkins was chosen Miss Omega Psi Phi, and Thelma Cowan was chosen Miss S.N. E.A. Seniors elected to Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities were David Forbes, Edward Mason, Pauline Watkins, Luther Dowdy, Gloria Nimmo, Bettie Ridley, Lonzie McKeithcn, Leroy Waters, Cynthia Williams, and James Ballard. We were inspired and elated by many interesting events and ex- periences during our four years. The pious fellowship and corporate cementation gave us impetus for our academic endeavors. We smile, but this is a strange and wonderful time of the year. It is when we sec garnet hoods, of weaving tassels, of windblown robes, it is a time of congratulations, accomplishments, endings, and beginnings. But most of all it is a time of mixed emotions wherein the joy of our success competes with the sadness of our departure. The essential part of our lives lies ahead — we must go to meet it! We must each go alone. Our paths are varied . . . but our purpose is one; our abil- ities are different . . . our dedication is the same. While our years at Shaw have not been perfect, they have been very rewarding. We can look back on our days here with laughter, admiration, sweat, and tears. As students, our history is over at Shaw, but as dedicated men and women it is just beginning, OUR BUSINESS DR HORACE B. DAVIS Head Department of Business MR. JAMES K. KOFA EDUCATION MRS. LIZZIE M.

Our instructors were crutches upon which we leaned ; Our books — silent sages — that before us gleamed. From the ugly duckling to the beautiful swan ; Through four years of striving the battle is won. Now to greater learning our thoughts fly And so, Alma Mater, we say good-bye. Miss Bettie Hicks CLASS SONG Tune : My Happiness Now the time is drawing near We must bid a sad farewell But how can we forget you Dear Ol ' Shaw U To our door you held the key That opened our hearts and minds We will hold those mem ' ries true Dear Ol ' Shaw U Chorus : Those precious years it seems Have fulfilled our hopes and our dreams You taught us wrong from right And you were our guiding light Now that we must say so long We will leave to one and all Faith that has led us thus far Dear Old Shaw U. With our voices raised in song We promise our best we ' ll do So for now we bid adieu Dear Ol ' Shaw U. Miss I.o Howard 39 Most Gracious God, we, Thy children offer our adoration, our gratitude, and our love. Grant to us a strong reassurance that we may be equal to the problems that confront us. Make us aware of our resources and the inexhaustible power available through Thee. Amid the constant stresses and strains of daily living, we seek refuge in Thee, not to escape from the storms of life, but to renew our vision, that we may face our problems with faith, cour- age, and determination as we strive to do Thy will. Make us diligent in all our duties and patient in all our trials. Open our minds to understand, make our hearts to appreciate, and strengthen our hands that we may labor to build Thy kingdom of mercy, truth, and peace on earth. We face the future unafraid because we that believe realize that nothing can separate us from the LOVE OF GOD. In His spirit we pray.

It is now recognized as one of the outstanding symphonic chorale organizations in the United States. The group is in constant demand in its home city of Raleigh and each year makes numerous appearances at schools, churches and before local organizations. It is of- ten featured over the local radio stations. Not only is the choir popular in this vi- cinity, but also throughout the State of North Carolina, the South, East and North. The Annual Spring program presented in the University auditorium is always at- tended by a more-than capacity audience. In recent years the choir has appeared in the following states: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachu- setts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and West Vir- ginia. As a result of its concerts, its broadcasts and appearances over the country, the Shaw University Chorale Society has become synonymous with chorale music of the highest quality. In performance, regardless of the variation of the repertoire, the choir continues to reflect trained perfections. The original objective of the organization was to raise the criteria of chorale ensembles and chorale music. This idea has been strictly adhered to and carried out. Mr. Gil-Symthe has steadfastly refused to compromise in any manner concern- ing the artistic standards which he set for himself and his group. 62 MR.

As this year draws to a close, I feel it in order to express my pleasure for having had the opportunity of serving as President of the Student Body. T he problems, pleasures, sad moments, joys, defeats, triumphs, the academic and extra- curricular activities and lasting friendships have made this a rich and worthwhile year for me and hopefully for you, the Student Body. To the graduating seniors I extend best wishes and hope for your success as you leave Shaw and enter various walks of life. To the remaining Shaw Bears, who are to take up the reigns of government next year, I leave best wishes for con- tinued success in campus affairs. Much success, David Collins Forbes President of Student Body 64 The Student Council serves to further the activities of student life, promote a widespread interest in the student affairs, and to develop citizenship on Shaw ' s Campus.
